Apple TV does not appear in Preferences

Apple TV appears in the sidebar but not in preferences. Then I click on Apple TV in the sidebar, there are no settings options.

I am having the same problem. To sync my first generation Apple TV I am told to go to iTunes --> Preferences --> Apple TV. But it does not exist. I went to the Apple TV made sure the network was setup correctly. I can add my computer so that streaming works from my computer to Apple TV. But I never get Apple TV in preferences so I can not sync.
I double checked that all devices are running current versions of all software: iTunes, OS, & Apple TV are all up to date.
I am running an iMac with Snow Leopard, on an Airport Extreme wireless network, first generation Apple TV.

Apple TV does not appear in devices and does not appear in preferences. I can access my music libary between ATV and Itunes.

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.

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.

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....

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.

Remote disk doesn't appear in my finder. also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

remote disk doesn't appear in my finder. also cd sharing option does not appear under preferences

Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.

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.

Apple TV does not appear as a listed "Device" in iTunes

I just purchased Apple TV. It is working okay. I have two Macs synced with my Apple TV. One shows a "Device" in iTunes but the other does not. On the second computer, once Apple TV is loaded the device icon goes away. I am unable to access the necessary tabs to sync my photos to Apple TV. I have tried removing Apple TV and rediscovering it but it did not change anything. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums.
This is not unfortunately the same issue as the OP (original poster) described. In any case we would need further info about your set up, types of connections, router set up, network set up, how far you get in the set up process, that sort of thing. Your post will attract more interest if it is in a thread of it's own, so perhaps you could start a new thread with the information I suggested.
Also just to clear up the original matter: Things have now moved on since this thread started and an update has enabled photo streaming. The situation is now this:
Your main (Primary) itunes (the one with which you sync) will (should) always have the tv in the device list.
Your secondary itunes(s) (the ones which stream only) will (should) only show the tv in its device list if the library is selected as a source on the tv.

Apple TV does not appear in iTunes after hard drive swap. (original ATV)

I recently upgraded the internal hard drive in my mac book pro. I removed the original drive and and put it into an external casing. With the new, larger capacity drive in place, i reinstalled the operating system and the updates, bringing it up to snow leopard, 10.6.4. I then dragged in the user and other important files to the new drive. For the most part, everything worked, except, Apple TV
Apple TV now longed shows up in itunes. It is visible on my wife computer and when i reboot from the "original" external drive. I assume there is some setting or file that i did not transfer over, but for the life of me, can figure out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Are you doing it in this order? (#5 below is a good inicator of whether the micro USB cable is compatible)
1. Unplug Apple TV and move it to your computer running latest version of iTunes.
2. Quit iTunes if running.
3. Plug micro USB cable to the back of the Apple TV.
4. Power the Apple TV using the AC cable.
5. iTunes shoud either launch itself (a good indication that the micro USB cable you're using is compatible), or launch iTunes.
6. Click Restore. Software will download and install (big file).

Apple logo does not appear when trying to reset

Yesterday I accidently disconnected my ipod from iTunes and it went into
"disk mode". It wouldn't turn off and I had to let the battery run
down. Tpday it connected okay (no longer in disk mode) but isn't
really switching screens correctly. When I try to reset by pressing
the hold and menu button, the Apple logo never comes up. If I go to
restore, will I loose all my music and videos listed in iTunes? Or,
should I just take it in to the shop? Anyone else have this problemo??
Help!

Apple express does not appear in airport utility

I have an airport base station (extreme) that is already set up and working fine. However, we needed to extend it's range to a separate guest house so I purchased an Apple Express. When I initially attempted to set it up - I launched the Airport Utility window - it appeared and walked me through the set up. However, it now doesn't appear in the Airport utility window, nor is it functioning (not showing up on any of our computers). I attempted a reset several times but it no longer appears in the Airport Utility window. Any suggestions or ideas about what the problem is? Thanks.

Which version of AirPort Utility are you asking about here?
If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left corner of the screen.
Click About AirPort Utility and post back with that info.
In the meantime, move the the Express to the same room as the AirPort Extreme
Power up the Express and let it run a minute
Hold in the reset button for 9-10 seconds on the back of the Express and let it restart

Apple TV does not appear in iTunes

I've just got a new Mac Pro with Leopard installed and I can't get iTunes to see Apple TV. I've checked the signal strength on Apple TV and all is fine it just won't mount within iTunes. It was originally synced with a Mac I don't have now but my iTunes Library is the same. Any suggestions to get them to talk to each other?

Have you changed to the new itunes library from the tv.

My Apple TV does not appear in the iTunes devices

I mistakenly deleted AppleTV from itunes devices on my mac, how do I get it back.
Thanks in advance

if it's atv1g then you change the settings in atv to stop syncing with your computer and then readding your computer
if it's a atv2g then that one never did show up in devices
