If it is a version 2 ATV, it will not appear in iTunes except where you can select it for Airplay. With the new ATV2, you go in the opposite direction (ATV2 to iTunes) after you have enabled sharing. The ATV1 could both store (sync) and/or stream content. The new one cannot. The ATV2 will appear as an AirPlay device in iTunes and in the iPod and Video areas on an iPhone, iPad, etc.
If your ATV is a version 1, you will have to reset it and go through the setup process using iTunes....

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 shouldn't appear in devices or in preferences and you cannot sync content to the Apple TV 2, all those things relate to the Apple TV 1 only.

    It happens when you haven't registered that device in Find my iPhone. In the device you want to use with Find my iPhone, log in iCloud following these steps > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup Then, turn on Find my iPhone, and the device will show up in the device list

  • My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

    When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using  previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

  • Apple logo does not appear when resetting ipod

    Screen froze and ipod beebed.  Connected to pc and managed to install restore software. Managed to sync some music to it, but nothing shows on ipod screen. I havet tried to reset the ipod as in the support suggestions but the Apple logo does not appear. Can anyone help please?

    When I try to reset by pressing
    the hold and menu button, the Apple logo never comes up.
    Not surprising really since that's not the way to reset the iPod.

    using sucessfully airport express for internet

    wanting to use extreme at base and express in another part of the house

    How is the express getting internet? What modem is it plugged into?
    How is the extreme setup? New extreme cannot be setup with 5.6 utility.. you must use latest 6.3. Which also means you cannot setup from computer using less than Lion .. or you must use iOS with latest utility but it has limited configuration cf the computer version.
    IPv6 is also needed.. turn on local link.

  • My ipod does not appear in device list

    iTunes does not recognize my iPod Touch. It does not appear as a "device". What does appear is "Sync George Lance's iPod". There is no problem syncing but
    can't manage the iPod. I have gone through the un-installing and re-installs of all of the Apple S/W to no avail.

    Keep in mind, the new iTunes is in a different format.  To revert to a more familiar format:
    In the top menu bar in iTunes, select
    1.  View
    2.  Show sidebar
    Is the device now on the more familiar left hand pane or still not recognized

  • IPad does not appear in devices list on itunes

    When I connect iPad to laptop it does not appear in the iTunes devices list. I have tried all the recommended Apple support actions reinstalling iTunes etc but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your tip. It didn't work in quite the way you outlined but it did help me to get my IPad recognised by ITunes. When I did what you suggested ITunes came back with something like ' can't connect to your IPad because the driver is missing, delete and reinstall ITunes to resolve this problem' . When I did that the IPad appeared in the Devices list.
    I assume from this that the device driver was defective. Many thanks.

  • Hp officejet 4500 prints but does not appear in devices and printers in Windows 7

    My wireless hp officejet 4500g prints fine wirelessly but it  does not appear in Control Panel  Devices and Printers in Windows 7.  Do I have to go through all that uninstall and reinstall.  I've used Window 7 Troubleshooting Printer check and all was fine..  Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    If the printer successfully print, it do exists within Devices and Printers..
    Windows 7 may merge several devices into a single icon, right clicking a merged icon will let you then choose the specific device as you may see in the following screenshot as a sample:
    Check any existing printer icon and locate the one your printer combined with..
    If none of the printers does not list the 4500 printer make sure to right click the Computer icon within the Devices category, I notiice the printer sometimes merged within the computer as well, then you will see any printer options (e.g. Printer Properties, Printing Preferences within the computer menu.
    Hope that may help,
    Shlomi

  • The movies that I've purchased from Itunes do not all appear on my Apple TV list of purchased movies. Also one movie that is listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not appear in my itunes library. Anyone have a solution?

    Some movies that I have purchased from itunes and are listed in my itunes library arenot listed as purchased movies on my Apple TV. Also one of the movies listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not come up in my Itunes library. Anyone know why?

    Are you by chance signed in to differnt accounts on iTunes (your computer(s)) and AppleTV?  Is AppleTV connected to more than one computer?  When you are compairing lists of movies are you looking under the "Movies" button, or under the "Computer" button?  Where all of these movies purchased though iTunes? 
    NOTE:  The computer button only shows the content that is downloaded to your computer(s).  So it will not show all the content you have purchased.  Just all the content on the computer.
