Another Customer w/Apple TV not showing up in iTunes
I have gone through all of the troubeshooting exercises except eliminating the startup items. By the looks of the forum, many have this problem and there is little shown to resolve it. I'm spending my free time trying to resolve the issue and feel like I'm back in the early days of having to create my own software solutions. Not sure that I have the time or energy to continue and maybe it would be better to return the product. Isn't there a better way out there to resolve the problem? Apple Support, where are you?
I entered the port forwarding information (Articles TS1453 and TS1392) after having no success with turning off all security firewalls and virus protection as well as ensuring both the router and ATV had the most recent software updates and having gone through all other trouble shooting suggestions listed by Apple. I have rebooted several times and reloaded iTunes 8. I actually have access to the internet through ATV but still have the problem of it not being recognized in iTunes. As mentioned before, the only things I haven't done is get into the startup items to eliminate them from consideration and tried a direct connect. I am able to ping the ATV successfully so I'm not sure why it won't show up in the iTunes search.

Another Apple TV not showing up in iTunes...
Ok, this is the config: Apple tv Software 1.1, iMac Intel 07/2007 with OS X 10.5.1, iTunes 7.6. All of a sudden the Apple tv did not show up in iTunes anymore (after working perfectly before). I have another MacBook and a Windows Vista System, both have no connection problems with the atv.
The atv can be pinged from the iMac, who does not show it in iTunes, without lag or packet loss. There is no firewall enabled. The atv connects perfectly to the internet and to the other computers (MacBook and Vista PC) via WLAN.
I did anything described on the support page to try to resolve the problem. I resetted the atv, I re-installed itunes... i upgraded to Leopard (after the problem showed up)... not resolving this issue.
Any clues?My ATV mysteriously disappeared from iTunes today as well. I'd been using it all weekend to play music. Today I come home form work and it has disappeared from iTunes.
I restarted everything including the ATV. It will show up in iTunes at first but then I get a message that I might have a firewall enabled because iTunes can't communicate with the ATV. It gives me port umber to stop blocking. Then the ATV disappears again.
No firewalls turned on (Leopards Firewall is useless anyway since you can't specify numbered ports to allow communication through.) Nothing has changed in my setup.
I tired linking the ATV to my Macbook Pro Core Duo (G networking) and it kind of works. I got it to start syncing files but the progress bar in iTunes doesn't update. It stays stuck on one file. But the ATV is copying the files because after I lost patience I canceled the sync and found that some of the media had been copied over. When I tried to sync again I got the same error about a possible firewall blocking the port. After a few iTunes relaunches I got ATV to show up in iTunes again and it resumed trying to copy files over. Again the progress bar just stuck on one song.
The only thing I can think of is some kind of major interference that is nearby and out of my control. The ATV shows full strength in the Wifi Signal. It can connect to the internet and YouTube. But its iTunes connection is just plain flaky. I've switched on interface robustness in the AirPort base station. Still nothing.
Sorry I can't be of any help. Maybe more squeaky wheels get grease faster.
I'm so glad this thing broke right before "Take 2" -
Apple TV not showing all my iTunes purchases in "Music"
Just got my Apple TV connected, all works fine (syncs with my MacBook iTunes etc) but one annoying thing is that under the "Music" tab, only a small fraction of the music I have purchased over the past few years appears, so that when my MacBook is turned off, I'm limited to those few songs. Any ideas?
The main Movies/TV Shows/Music icons play back either movie rentals/purchases, TV Show purchases or purchased music via the internet.
All the content in iTunes is normally accessed on the LAN using Home Sharing via the Computers icon and its Movies/TV Shows/Music submenus. If iTunes is not running local LAN content can't be accessed.
If much of the music you have is from ripped CDs, MP3s from other sopurces/vendors, it will not appear under the main Music icon unless you have an iTunes Match subscription. I'm not certain that even iTunes Store purchasesd appear under this without iTunes Match but as I have a subscription I can't currently tell.
If you have iTunes Match it's possible all your iTunes library has not been matched as yet as some non-recognised titles need to be uploaded to the cloud.

Iphone, ipad, apple tv not showing up in iTunes
I have 4 devices, iphone 4s, iphone 4, ipad2, and apple tv 1st gen. all were showing under devices in itunes. now none are. I remember a messege came up the last time they did show in itunes, that said, "could not sync device, unable to fine file". now no devices in itunes. what do I need to do?
I went ahead and tried reinstalling iTunes, but it did not help. I then tried resetting the AppleTV to factory settings. It has shown up in the Devices list again, but it immediately started "syncing" or so it said, but I'm not sure how thats possible since all of my data is stored in an external drive which was disconnected at the time because i had my laptop with my in front of the TV trying to get this all working. I must say, I'm not too impressed with the Apple TV so far. It does not yet seem to have the polish of most Apple products. Hopefully the new firmware will resolve a lot of these issues. I think I may have jumped the gun in canceling my cable service.

1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.
I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV. I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore. I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV. Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')
Hi clur,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Apple TV and the most recent iTunes 12 upgrade. If you continue to have issues with your 1st Gen Apple TV not showing up in iTunes, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?
The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
PLEASE HELP!

Apple tv not showing up in devices on itunes. Content gone from the apple tv and I'm not sure how to sync.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re-pair your library with iTunes.
Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes. -
Apple mail not showing all the messages?
In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though! -
IPhone 5 won't reboot past Apple logo. It will not show up in iTunes to perform a restore.
iPhone 5 won't reboot past Apple logo. It will not show up in iTunes to perform a restore.After the logo appears the phone will get switched of by its own. I updated my phone 2 days before.
The iPhone can only be serviced in the country where it has been bought, and it can't be shipped internationally to Apple Support, you'll or somebody else have to bring it personally. If you registered the phone with your Apple ID, you might not need the receipt, Apple Support should have your data.
Did you try to set it back to factory settings without using any backup afterwards?

IPod Touch not showing up in iTunes, already read Apple Troubleshooting
My iPod Touch is not showing up in iTunes on my iMac. I cannot find it from my iMac when I search for it. I have tried using different USB ports and have restarted the iPod and the computer. The iPod does not appear to be charging through the computer either since there is no symbol across the battery. I am able to use the same cable with the wall charger and charge the iPod successfully.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
