Airplay will not recognize a second AppleTV unit that I just purchased.

I just purchased a second AppleTV unit and have set it up in our familyroom. The setup went well and all the connections and home sharing of two iTunes libraries have been completed and are working as they should. The only problem is with Airplay. In all the Airplay devices, the 2nd Apple TV unit does not show in the drop down menu. Not on the 2 iPads, nor the iPhones or on ITunes nor Safari. The original Unit that we purchased some time ago shows up everywhere, but the new addition, not anywhere. All the other functions work perfectly. The Apple Remote app recognizes both AppleTV units but not Airplay. we can't select the new unit to show anything using Airplay. Any ideas on how to fix the problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks very much Alley_Cat. I did exactly what you suggested and now all the airplay choices seem to be available. The new Apple TV did have a different name from the original one, but when I reset everything, I renamed both units again and now all seems to be working just fine.
Thanks again.

My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down"

My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down" and restart while holding down the mouse button. Anyone have any remedies?

I ran into a similar (identical?) problem. I inserted a DVD-R and my imac would not recognize it. The only way to eject was to do a restart. I tried some of the SMC reset stuff. That didn't work. I came across another thread on macrumors (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=336501)
that solved my problem.
I have an external Western Digital Passport drive that I use for timecapsule. It turns out
there are two files that WD adds to the /Library/LaunchDaemons that interferes with the
SuperDrive. I removed the WD files from the LaunchDaemons directory and everything works fine
now. Again, refer to the macrumors thread for more details.
The files I removed from the LaunchDaemons directory were:
com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist
com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist
..yes I had installed the WD backup software to see if I liked it....I did not, but didn't realize this files would cause a conflict with the SuperDrive.

TS1538 my phone will not recognize itunes or charging unit

The other day i notice that the iphone 3gs says this charging accesory is not supported. It is the same charger it came with. It was charging but very slow itunes was recognizing the phone and now its not. While plugged in the phone is draining what battery life it has. I bought a new charger but it wasnt that. i don't know hat else to do. Please help!

Are you using a new ord or the same one from when it did not charge? Is it an Apple ord or from a third party? Try a different cord and see if that works. If that does not help, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have it checked.

Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine. Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition). When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk. Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer. Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

MacBook with Lion will not recognize external hard drive (AMP) that was my backup for older IBook, please help

I had a IBook G4 and an external hard drive as its back up.
IBook running something like Snow Lepord, anyway
I have a Intel Macbook now with Lion, Ive been told here there is a possible confliction between the AMP external harddrive and lion.
I will say a few times I have for limited time been able to access the drive on the newer MacBook, but then Lion (I think) drops it.
Any ideas out there?

Disk Utility sees the drive, finder/desktop doesnt.
Click on the Desktop->Finder menu->Preferences->General->Show on Desktop->HDs and ext HDs.
Mac OS Extended (journaled) what's that mean and is the format the issue here?

No, that's not the issue.

My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did. In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds. If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it. I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change. All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

I stream video/audio from my iPhone to AppleTV (like YouTube) and it works fine. I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video to AppleTV and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one. How can I watch AppleTV and listen on the headphones?
Thank you.

BIOS will not recognize installed CD/DVDs

System set up auto search does not recognize installed CD players or DVD RW on IDE 2 as being present. I have installed several different units that I know are working and set up passes by them like they are not present. I have checked and replaced all cables. CD unit are getting power and will light up, open and close but they do not show up during set up nor on Windows hardware listing. I have reset CMOS with no success.
I have the most current version of BIOS for this M/B. This problem started recently when I tried to change my CD player.
1.   Product Type: 645 Ultra (m-6547 V1.X) ATX Mainboard
2.   BIOS Version. 3.31
3.   External VGA Type: None
4.   CPU Type: P4 2.40 GHz
5.   Memory Type: 1.00 GB
6.   Power Supply Type: A Power 400 watts
7.   Operating System: Windows XP Pro with SP2

I connected a second hard drive on IDE 2 and the BIOS failed to recognize it. I also connectted a CD to IDE 1 along with my primary hard drive and the BIOS DID recognize both my hard drive and the CD but the system would not boot up under that configuration. I have uninstalled and re-installed the controller for IDE 2 and the system still will NOT recognize anything connected to the IDE 2. The only other thing I can think of is to reinstall the BIOS. Anybody have any other suggestions on how to deal with a non-functioning IDE 2?

HT4314 Game center will not recognize that I play any game center games.

Game center will not recognize that I play any game center games. Also, my friends can interact with my game saves, but I cannot, because they do not appear in the "friends/neighbors" window when I play. What can I do to fix this?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

ITunes will not recognize my Ipod touch.

iTunes will not recognize my Ipod touch. It attempts to perform a recovery, but must restore first. but the restore fails, gives my 1604 code. I have switched cords, USB ports all with no success. I have a second touch (an older generation), a 160 GB Ipod & a shuffle that all work fine. Not sure where to go. One place said that I should reinstall iTunes, but wasn't sure if I would lost my library and apps. Pleas advise. Thanks.

Try to reinstall iTunes as explained in this article:

System Profiler will not recognize installed hard drive if drive is in use by VMWare

System Information will not recognize installed Hard Drive (Boot Camp) when in use by VMWare.
I work in IT for a School District and I am creating a Script that system information about the computer. I am testing this on a Mac Pro with two internal hard drives. One drive is Mac OS 10.8 and the other drive is a Boot Camp Drive that is used by VMWare Fusion.
When I run System Information via the GUI or system_profiler via Terminal, both drives show up just fine. However, if I launch VMWare Fusion and run Windows from my Boot Camp drive, then run System Information via the GUI or system_profiler via Terminal, the Boot Camp Drive is no longer listed as an installed drive.
Example:
In the Terminal, I enter the following command.
system_profiler SPStorageDataType
Then it returns this information.

The Boot Camp Drive is no longer listed.
I assume this is due to the the fact that the drive is "In Use" however is seems odd since the Mac drive is also in use and it appears without problem. I assume there is no "fix" for this, I was just wondering if someone may have an explaination why?
Also, I do realize that I can query the various interface types like system_profiler SPSerialATADataType to get all the properly installed phycial drives, but then I would have to query all possible interface types, isolate only devices containing Volumes, then consoldate the information to just the information that I need. I was hoping for a cleaner query.

Thank you for your response.
VMWare may be the cause, but the actual issue I am having is with Apple's System Information. I anticipated resistance from VMWare if I went to them with a question about an Apple software issue (even though VMWare software is part of the equation). I was trying to avoid the inevitable finger pointing game. I thought I would try with Apple Forums first since the issues presents itself within the Apple Software. However, you are correct that VMWare may have an explanation on why Fusion might be interfering with System Information. I will check with them next.
To answer your question. Yes, In most cases I do use Fusion to run Windows side-by-side with the Mac OS. However, that is not always the case. There are a few reasons why I have it setup using a Dual Boot configuration.
One, in some cases, due to the intense programs I occasionally run (graphic applications), I prefer to simply boot straight into Windows via Boot Camp so I may allocate all hardware resources to Windows. Additionally, some graphic applications like to have direct access to hardware and the extra layer of the VM environment can cause problems when an application is trying to directly access specific hardware like a graphics card.
Second, I often use either side, both Mac and PC, for testing. There is an advantage to not having to rely on the Mac OS to run Windows. If, for whatever reason, my Mac becomes unstable due to testing, I can still jump right into Windows to do work if necessary.
Third, I love the Mac OS, but I work in a PC centric organization. If there is a "problem" with my system, it is too easy for other system admins to say, "it's because it's a Mac". Having the definitive separation of the OS's allows me to prove that the Mac OS is not a factor.

Macbook Pro will not recognize my external hard drive

I just updated to a newer MacBook Pro. I ran Time Machine on my old Macbook from a 2TB external USB hard drive. When I hooked the hard drive to my new Mac, it wouldn't allow me to select it as the drive for Time Machine. So I dismounted the hard drive and hooked it back to my old macbook to see if it still registered there (which it did). Now when I try and hook the hard drive to my new macbook, it will not recognize it at all. First question, why will it not recognize my new macbook, and second question, why does Time Machine not recognize the hard drive? It has my old time machine files on it...hopefully I don't have to reformat it and lose all my backup??

My hard drive is now connected. But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one. Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

Airplay will not recognize a second AppleTV unit that I just purchased.
