Apple TV (1G) doesn't appear in devices list when connected via ethernet

After upgrading to OS X Lion and iTunes 10.4 my Apple TV (1G) doesn't appear in the devices list when connected via ethernet. When I switch to wireless lan the device is shown and the sync process starts but can't copy the new films. The copy operation stops every time and sometines the device disappears from the list.
Despite of the upgrading of OS X and iTunes all the settings are unchanged.
Anyone an idea?

Since my last update, I've gathered more information. I'm almost certain this is not entirely a 10.7.1 issue, if an issue in 10.7.1 at all. 10.7.1 may have changed something that caused this issue to appear,but where I was having this problem weekly if not daily, I no longer have the problem. I changed routers. I was using a new D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit RouterDIR-655. This router was causing me pain with lock ups. I replaced it with a Cisco Linksys E4200. I have not had a lockup in over 2 months now and not one sync issue with Apple TV nor my new iPhones, which sync wireless to iTunes on my Mac Pro.
Thinking about how my network is wired leads me to believe the issue was in the router, or maybe a network communication change in 10.7.1 that the DIR-655 was not supporting correctly. My MacPro and a few other hardwired access points in my house go directly to the router. My AppleTV and Airport Extreme are connected to a Gigabit switch and the Gigabit switch is then connected to the router. I also turn off the wireless capabilities in my routers, as I prefer to let my Airport Extreme handle those duties. This all means my normal hardwired communication path from my Mac Pro to Apple TV was going through the router, to the switch, to the Airport Extreme and then to my AppleTV. My Apple TV is connected to the LAN port on the Airport extreme. By going wireless on the MacPro, I was bypassing the router altogether.
As I started out saying, since I replaced my router, my sync issues have also gone away. If your having Apple TV sync issues, you might want to look at the router as well. Also, while I can’t remember the exact settings, I had opened up or enabled UPnP and other router settings in the DIR-655 to see if that would resolve the sync issues and it did not. In the end, I just spent the money and bought a new router and life is good now.

Iphone doesn't appear in «devices» category when I try to synch it

When I connect my device (iPhone 4S) to my computer (which one is under Windows XP), my computer recognize my iphone as a camera. When I open iTunes, a speech box appears and says: «Iphone can't be used because Apple Mobile Device isn't launch.». I read the help section on Apple's site but it didn't help me. Maybe this problem happened to someone else !?
Please help me because I'm not able to synchronize my iPhone anymore.

Did you already make sure that Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and active on your computer?

Back-up / Retrieve Files from an external hard drive that doesn't appear in Devices

Someone please help!
I am going to write the "history" from my disk utility repair here so that other's who copy and paste into search may find it:
(PLEASE SCROLL 13 ROWS DOWN)
Verify and Repair volume “Your Hard Drive Name”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Keys out of order
Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
The volume could not be repaired.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Ok. I would really love to reformat this disk, but I have stuff on here from film school that I CAN NOT lose
Question:
How would I go about backing-up the disk if the image doesn't appear under devices? I went to the "Restore" tab/button, but I can not choose the hard drive in the first field. I could have sworn my hard drive was formatted for Mac, but I may have formatted it back to FAT32. I know the disk still functions because when it is powered on, it cycles with/without being connected to my MacPro, but after that, it will only cycle if connected (confirming connection). It does run again when I connect the firewire cable. Here is my equipment:
8-Core MacPro 16GB-Mem RAID
MacOSX 10.6.8 | 2 X 1TB Internal HDD
Aug-2008 15" MacBookPro
(That I used the Maxtor-External with mostly)
DEVICE IN QUESTION
500GB Maxtor One-Touch Plus
FireWire 400 6-pin Connection Bus (2 Ports)
Purchased in Early 2008 from Staples
I can fit the back-up on my 2nd HDD in my MacPro or in my other External:
2 TB G-Technology G-RAID External
1 x eSATA | 2 x FireWire 800 9-pin | 1 x USB 2.0
Self Powered DC-IN
I have had a nightmare searching for answers, so any options you might have would be tremendously helpful. I can't lose the data because I have everything I did during film school on there. That stuff is basically what you pay for when you go to film school, you pay to show what you can do and what equipment you have used. SAVE ME FELLOW APPLE PEOPLE!!!! We COMMAND, as well as CONTROL!

Get Disk Warrior that will repair the problems without requiring that you reformat the drive - $99.00 on a bootable CD. Will not work on a FAT formatted drive.
You will need to use Drag and Drop to save your files by copying them from the bad drive to a good one.
To reprep the drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

IPad doesn't appear in devices because its running older software but I can't update it because the mac can't see it

iPad doesn't appear in devices because it needs to download updated version of IOS but I can't do that if iTunes can't see it

Hello,

Ipod touch doesn't appear under devices. message - file not found.

My ipod touch doesn't appear under devices when I plug it into the computer. My mac tried to sync with the ipod touch and then gave me the message "ipod touch could not be synced. File not found." This just suddenly started. What file? and what happened to it? help, please.

PROBLEM SOLVED - I did not know that in itunes under "devices" there is a "hide" and "show" if you mouse over the area to the right of the word "devices". My ipod touch was somehow hidden. I still do not know why I got the "file not found" message.

Has anyone had a problem with Illustrator lagging behind one letter when you're typing? For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

Hi Swampxiix,
How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.

Apple TV does not show up in device list

I've read all the post with the same subject but still can not get the Apple TV to show up in the device list of itunes.
I have multiple computers on a wired/wireless network, one is a windows XP laptop machine and it sees the Apple TV fine, can sync with itunes works great. This machine is connected via wireless connection. This machine does not have my music or photos that I want to sync so I want to sync the Apple TV with my desktop, I was just using the laptop as a diagnostic tool and to better understand the interaction between itunes and the Apple TV. I have tried all the steps given and still can not get the Apple TV to show up as a device on the desktop.
I originally had norton firewall on the desktop, uninstalled that so it would not be in the way, did not help. Windows firewall is not enabled.
I have sharing enabled in itunes and I have look for Apple TVs enabled. I have rebooted the router, Apple TV, computers etc. Reinstalled itunes.
I have a linksys wreless router in the system. I have tried connectnig the desktop via a wired connection as well as a wireless connection, no difference. The Apple TV can get on the wireless network fine, it can access the internet fine to play movie trailer etc. I have also connected it directly to the router via a cable, does not help. I tried connecting the desktop to the Apple TV directly with a crossed ethernet cable, did not work.
The desktop can ping the Apple TV.
I am assuming I do not have a problem with ports as the laptop sees the Apple TV fine?
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums.
To summarise and for clarity: You have set up your laptop itunes library and it works as it should with the tv, now you are trying to add your desktop and it doesn't see the tv.
First point: the Laptop is your primary library, you can only have one primary library and if you wish to sync from the desktop you will need to make that your primary library instead of the laptop. You will need to turn of syncing for the laptop and register the desktop with the tv for syncing first and then the laptop as a secondary (streaming only) library. If you are trying to use your desktop without de-registering the laptop it will only ever be a secondary (streaming) library.
You may have realised this and if so all well and good, but if not you might want to continue to establish your desktop as a secondary library and satisfy yourself that all is well before turning off your laptop and setting everything up again.
On the assumption you are setting up the desktop as a secondary library at this time, how far have you got with registering the desktop, have you successfully entered the pass codes, did the tv show in the device list at any stage. As a secondary library itunes will only show the tv in it's device list when that itunes library is selected as the source library from the tv itself, could this be why you are unable to see it in the device list.

Hello Maxayla,
It sounds like you are getting error code 1 when you were attempting a restore. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article which mentions that error code:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#1
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

My Apple TV will not update to the latest software, dose anyone know what the problem is, I've reset, tried to do it wirelessly as well as while connected via Ethernet cable.. Both have resulted in the same message!! Update unsuccessful, current software version is 5.1 (5201) . I've rented a movie recently and does not appear in my movie list, but I have been charged for this movie, can someone help me out with these issues.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.
