Apple TV can air play content from my home library but can't connect to share?

I unwrapped the present, set it up, updated and start playing with it. I have a home library on Windows xp using iTunes 11. I can AirPlay from that library to Apple TV but can't see Apple TV in devices or see my library from Apple TV in shares. Anyone has any suggestions?

That's normal. You can't see Apple TV as a network device on PC.
You can only see your pcs iTunes library on Apple TV but your PC doesn't see Apple TV as a device.

    Can I play music from my iTunes library on my pc through my living room speakers if I buy Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes either the Apple TV or the AirPort Express can do that for you.

    Obviously that's your problem.  As the message states, five is the maximum supported.

    I can't send mails from my outlook 2010 but can receive, please help.

    Thank you so much for your time and help Csound1 I really appreciate it.
    Mac mail works perfectly fine so I don't want to screw it up by altering anything there.
    However, I've checked to make sure I didn't miss anything on Outlook, but it still won't send messages. I don't know if I need to fill the "Unqualified domain" field?

  • Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but can't play content from itunes library on the apple tv

    What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
    I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
    Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen. 
    Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image.

    OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

  • Apple TV does not play content from my iPhone

    With my iPhone 4, I cannot get things such as music videos in the iPod to play on the Apple TV.  Both devices are connected to the same network, as is my PC, and Home Sharing is enabled.  The Remote app on the iPhone works just fine to play content on both my PC and Apple TV, but I cannot for the life of me get anything on my iPhone to airplay on the ATV.
    Ideas?

    Are you sure home sharing is enabled on the iPhone as well? You should be sure you have the latest iOS update. Also check to see that the AppleTV has been updated.
    Settings > iPod > Home Sharing

  • After win7 updates today (May 12) can't play videos, ie iplayer, in Firefox, but can play them in IE

    Using 64-bit Windows 7; after several MS updates installed today can't play streaming vidoes (eg. bbc iplayer) in Firefox. Can play them in IE7 though but want to solve this as Firefox is my primary browser. On the streaming page I just get a blank instead of the video screen box part of the page.

    Sorry I don't. It just happens at random and usually most YouTube videos and other similar styled videos. I'm not really a tech guy but it just seems like there is something else going on. Everything else on my PC works fine except when I want to open a video using flash. It isn't just one site or one video it is nearly every flash video and it's almost like they're loading one at a time except in no order if there is more than one tab. Even if it is just one video, it takes a long time to load.
    Imagine going to YouTube to load up a vid and the controls or progrss bar never load, it just stops and only a solid black box is displayed. Eventually the controls load and it seems like it's about to play at any moment.. only the waiting lasts 5 minutes. Even if you refresh it still has to do this all over again.

  • Need Help, I Pod Can't be read from or written to, but can download music??

    I have a 30G IPod. I can add music to my IPod from ITunes (when it recognizes my Ipod, usually have to unplug it once or twice first). But, when I try to change the settings to "manually manage songs and playlist" and/or try to import pictures onto my IPod, it says "The IPod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read to or written to".
    I have tried the "5 Rs" and am getting really frustrated. Could someone please shed the light for me?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same issues and have also tried the 5 Rs. Any time I try to change one of the iPod's settings, I get the disk could not be read or written to error. My music, videos and pictures are all properly syncing, but I cannot enable disk usage.
    I have the 30GB iPod and am running WinXp sp2

  • Can't Print Book from iPhoto or Preview, but Can Print from Adobe Accrobat

    I have spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP, an am now unsure if the problem is with HP or Apple.
    When I try to print a single page from an iPhoto Book (or a group of pages), I receive an error message on the HP 4650 printer (49.4C02). I saved the book as a PDF and tried to print from Preview with the same results. I then opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and WAS able to print. I am able to print individual photos from iPhoto.
    I searched this discussion board for problems printing to the HP 4650. One suggestion was to use the driver for the HP 4600. I tired that and it produced the same error on the printer.
    Using Adobe Acrobat is a viable work-a-round, but I am curious why I cannot print a book from iPhoto. Any thoughts as to why Adobe Acrobat works and iPhoto and Preview do not?
    Thanks,
    -Dale

    HP has _ a firmware release that addresses this error _ - have you installed it?

  • Why can't my iPhone 4S send video messages via text? it only does so thru iMessage, amnd i can only receive them from my friends iPhone, but can't send any bk.

    it only does so thru iMessage. My friend (with another iphone) sends me video thru text message (not imesage) but my phone doesn't send videos thru. i already restarted the phone twice..... anyone know how to fix this its frustrating the heck out of me

    It might depend on how long/large the video file is.  I'm not sure but there might be restrictions on the size of the file you plan on sending via sms.  Are you able to send send those same video files that you received back to your friends?

  • I can't see some movies in my library but can synch them when connected to an IOS device - please help?

    Hi, I am having problems when loading a M4V or MP4 into iTunes it loasd ok but is not displayed in the movies library. However, when I synch my iPhone I can select the movies not shown in my library?
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Chris.
    Ok every son gneeds artist and album, but why in my 20 G photo Ipod I can see the songs searching via artist without any problem. And why in the new 30G video Ipod it only happens with some artists, cause for example I have 40 u2 songs, some with album name and some not, and all of them appear searching via artist. But with another artist, for example def leppard, I have 15 songs (some with album name, and some not) and searching via artist I can see only the ones in some particular album, and others that also have album name dont appear unless I look for them via song

  • I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version.  Any fix

    I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO.  However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow!  It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

    Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
    java -version

    BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
    I also  tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under

    Try this first - 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.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise. I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

    My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise and I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?

    I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
    Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.
