Apple TV 2, iTunes 10.5.0.142 and AirPlay

Hope someone can help...
I updated my ATV2 and iTunes today and now they won't sync via AirPlay. ATV2 sees my library, but when I click to connect, the connection wheel spins and spins and spins. Eventually, it ends in a error that states "could not connect to 'XXXXX' library".
I've tried disconnecting power to both my router and ATV2, as well as restarting my PC and iTunes. I've also checked the password. None of the usual fixes seem to work. Everything was working perfectly prior to the updates, so I'm not sure what to do next.
Thanks.

So, after 2+ hours of messing around with settings, etc. and also searching the net for an answer...I uninstalled iTunes (and all other related software...i.e. Bonjour, etc.) and then reinstalled. Afterwards, my first attempt to connect with home sharing worked just as it should...with no issues at all. Anyway, hopefully someone else can learn from this.

  • HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

    Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
    Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • Unable to install iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows 7 64 bits system

    I am not able to install the latest version of itunes, version 10.5.0.142, released by Apple last week.
    I think it is important to note that there are three pending updates on my system (Windows 7, 64 bit), which keep on failing again and again no matter what the mode of update (manual via microsoft website or automatic via the program provided by microsoft). These are:
    1. Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2556532)
    2. Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242)
    3. Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243)
    The methods that I have tried to install the latest version of itunes (all have failed as of now):
    a. Automatic via the previous version of itunes. This tries to download and install itunes in parts, but ultimately leads to the error originally pointed in this thread. Failed.
    b. Uninstalling the previous version of itunes completely as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and also using Microsoft Fixit and then trying to install the new version. Failed.
    c. Uninstalling all but apple software update, and then trying to update manually from the software update file available in c:\Program Files (x86)\Apple Software Update folder. Failed.
    d. Uninstalling all the versions of visual c++ (2005 and 2008), and then trying to install the latest version of itunes. Then re-installing the latest versions of c++ (2005, 2008 and 2010) along with updates but three as pointed above, and then trying to install the latest version of itunes. Failed.
    e. I have tried various permutations and combinations of keeping the firewall, antivirus and even the internet off and on. Failed.
    The combination of errors that I have received:
    - An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version=“8.0.50727.6195″,type=“win32,publicKeyToken=“1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=“x86”. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712
    - Error 7 indicating installation of microsoft .net framework 4.0 for me (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3074) and
    - Error 2 - "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)
    However, I have seen on some websites that people have been able to install the latest version of itunes on their windows 7 64 bits system (surprising, but yeah).
    I would appreciate any pointers as to:
    ?1 How do I install the latest version of itunes on my system.
    ?2 If the steps are not included in the solution to ?1, how do I update 1., 2., and 3. mentioned above.
    ?3 If I am able to install itunes 10.5.0.142 on my windows 7 64 bit, would I be able to successfully my iPad2 to iOS5?
    Many thanks.

    I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

  • I am running itunes 10.5.0.142 but I can't update to 10.5.2

    I am running itunes 10.5.0.142 but I can't update to 10.5.2.  My laptop is running Windows 7.  It asks me if I want to update to 10.5.2 and I say yes, but then nothing else happens.

    Let's try updating using an installer from the Apple Website:

    Does that go through any better, larry?

  • Joint Stereo Balance Issues with Headphones iPod iPad iTunes 10.5.0.142

    This is a cross posting.
    I'm running iTunes 10.5.0.142 on windows vista SP2.  I have an old nano (2nd gen) and an iPad (1st gen).
    Most of the files in my library are MP3 encoded using iTunes with default joint-stereo settings. 
    All of my library seems to want play through the Left stereo channel whenever I have headphones plugged in, either on my laptop, on my ipad, or ipod.  Same thing.  Doesn't matter what set of headphones (and YES I have switched the phones in my ears, so I'm not going deaf).  I've cleaned my ear buds.
    I've reencoded some of the files to AAC on iTunes Plus - the result is the same. The thing is that all of the settings indicate stereo in some form. NONE are mono.  I can hear the track really really faintly on the right channel, but it's constantly as if I'm going deaf in one ear, and I'm not.
    The REALLY strange things are this - when played out of my laptop speakers, there are no issues with balance.  Neither are there issues when I play through Airplay to an Airport Express set up. 
    I've gone through my files, and it doesn't matter which ones.  This problem occured before, but I think it cleared up quickly with an iTunes update at somepoint. 
    IT is RIDICULOUS.  I do not have this issue with any other audio on my laptop, and it only started when I updated to 10.5.0.142.  I haven't actually changed anything in the library other than that.
    Please let me know if something is going on or what I'm missing here.

    I noticed this problem first on my Windows 7x64 i3 laptop... I'd rather it not happen. Knowing how helpful Apple has been in the past at actually solving Windows problems. You might consider uninstalling and just syncing to iCloud unless you have a lot of music. As for me, I'm uninstalling it again on my laptop.

  • Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.

    Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.  Windows 7

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

    Hi
    You will need to uninstall all traces of previous iTunes installations any all associated items such as bonjour, mobile device thingy, apple software updated etc.
    Bonjour and iTunes can be uninstalled using the windows program uninstalled but for everything else best to use a separate installer program that also checks the registry for associated components as you will need to remove these too.
    Once you have removed all tracesofeverything apple related ( doesn't seem to matter about QuickTime) you can try to reinstall iTunes 10.5 and hopefully it should install without any problems. I had the same problem as you and once I did all this every went through fine, seems that there is something in the old versions, the software updated part I think which seems to be blocking certain items in the latest version.
    Good luck

  • How to share one iTunes library with multiple computers AND Apple TV? Help?

    It seems like my dilemma may not be easily solved. Hopefully it isn't as complicated as I think it will be. Here's the situation:
    My wife hates that, in order to see or do anything with the images she takes, I need to have iPhoto open on my computer (Mac Pro), and she then has to connect to it over sharing.
    By the same token, I don't like that she buys iTunes content on her MacBook, which is sometimes a duplicate of content I already have. Now that the App Store is out, that is going to start getting really expensive.
    So instead, I want us to be able to:
    1) Have ONE iTunes library on the network, and ONE iPhoto library. Both of these would be accessible to any computer on the network. When you launch iTunes, you would get all the media that is in that library.
    2) Both be able to access iTunes at the same time to listen to / watch content.
    3) Both be able to purchase iTunes content, and when it it purchased, it updates that single library. If I buy a song, the next time my wife fires up iTunes, that song is there for her to listen to.
    4) Have our two Apple TV units be able to play content from this library.
    So, I know that we need something on the network. I have a Drobo with DroboShare, so that is one option. I also have a spare Mac Pro laying around, along with a copy of OS X Leopard Server.
    I just don't know what route we should take with this. All I want is for us to share a library, to be able to both use that library, for us to be able to sync content from that library to our portable devices, and for our Apple TVs to also see that library.
    Possible?!

    I'm sort of in the same boat. We've got an iMac with separate User Accounts set up and are currently sharing the same iTunes and iPhoto libraries along with streaming them to our Apple TV.
    Right now I'm the only one with an iPod, however she'll be getting one in a couple of weeks.
    We also just picked up a MacBook yesterday and I'd like to be able to sync certain libraries like iTunes and iPhoto so that no content gets duplicated on either the iMac or MacBook and so that we both have access to the current libraries for each program on our iPods and AppleTV.
    I have an external hard drive that I back up the iMac on and I assume I could manually keep things current with that but there's got to be an easier way...that's why these are Macs right?

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter.  How do I fix that?

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • I have 2 apple ids for iTunes...is there anyway I can combine them into one I'd without loosing all my music?

    I have an older iPod and new iPhone 5s. I have two separate accounts for each. Can I take my iPod account/Id and make into my iPhone id and transfer my music over?...without loosing my music!?

    If you mean Apple IDs, they can't be merged at all.
    If you mean iTunes libraries, import the content and playlists from one to the other.
    You can have content from multiple Apple IDs in one library.

  • One Apple ID for iTunes...dont want to share photos/contacts/calendars....now what???

    We have always just had the one Apple ID for the family....sync my iPod and the kids iPod along with my iPad.  Just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and hubby's iPhone 4....now our calendars have merged.  We dont mind sharing apps but dont want to deal with each other calendars or contacts.  Had to restore husbands phone once after upgrade bc iMessage was frozen on "waiting" ... how do I handle this when we all sync to same MacBook??

    You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
    Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
    Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
    Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device.
    On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
    iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
    Music Home Sharing
    Video Home Sharing
    Photo Stream
    Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
    Mail (if using @me.com)
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Bookmarks
    Notes
    Find My iPhone
    Messages
    Find Friends
    FaceTime
    On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
    Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
    The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).
