Apple TV does not mirror iTunes films, but audio yes.
I bought a new iMac last week. I can mirror my screen to Apple TV, that works fine. The issue starts when I press the play button in iTunes to start the movie, then the movie does not show on my apple tv, neither on my iMac....I get a grey screen on both iMac and apple tv but the sound does work. I updated all software.
If I disconnect Apple TV, it does show the movie on my iMac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Personally I'd be inclined just to use basic AirPlay from iTunes on the Mac. But if you want to persist troubleshooting AirPlay mirroring...
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
1. Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
2. Check that both devices are on the same network (System Preferences > Network, on the Mac and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
3. Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
4. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
5. Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
6. Restart your computer.
If you are still having problems, try turning off bluetooth if it's enabled, also try using 802.11n for wifi if you are currently using either 802.11b or 802.11g.
Additionally, the following article(s) may help you.

Apple TV does not find Itunes library (since Yosemite). Itunes finds apple tv without a problem.
Since Yosemite, my apple tv 3 (latest software) does not find my itunes library anymore (imac 27" late 2013). Vice versa, via Itunes (latest version) I can perfectly stream music and videos to my apple TV. So there is communication between the two devices, but for some reason Apple TV does not find my itunes library. Sometimes rebooting all my devices works.
any solutions for this problem?I solved this problem in this way:
go to Preferences -- Sharing
change the name of your mac (delete ALL the existing name and choose another one)
close Preferences
restart Mac
open itunes
now check if everything works on apple tv. -
Apple TV does not recognize itunes
Hi, I recently bought Apple TV 2012 Full HD. The network is functioning properly and the Apple TV recognizes the network (I can download movies, youtube, etc on the Apple TV). Problem is, it wont load the itunes library from my Mac. It furthermore won't allow home sharing and/or airplay.
The following I have tried:
1. Updated Mac software
2. Updated Apple TV Software
3. Updated the firmware of my modem / router
4. Updated Itunes to latest version
5. Checked the firewall settings of Mac - no firewall in place
6. Restarted all the devices and reset it several times.
7. Put Home sharing on/off on both itunes / Apple TV and then restarted the process.
What happens is, on very odd occasions it recognizes the itunes library but then drops it again. Network still operating fine. Same thing happens with Home sharing. Airplay also does not show.
Can anybody help me please? Would appreciate it a lot.Hi Charl100,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues with Home Sharing on your Apple TV, you may want to go over the steps outlined in the following article:

Apple TV does not see iTunes Library as on
I have been using ATV for a few months now, I sync photos to ATV and stream music from my computer using iTunes. When I go to sources, I see my library in a greyed out letters and all attempts to connect tell me to turn on the computer and launch iTunes, all the above are on.
This is a new problem after update of software.I've updated both iTunes and the ATV software. I can now do the uTube thing fine.
I want to sync photos and stream music from same computer. This worked until I did the above updates.
From the ATV, I see my computer to sync photos, but when I want to stream my music from the same computer, the library appears in ATV as a source but it is GREY, as if the computer is not on. The computer is on and running iTunes. When I change my library name in iTunes, the ATV shows the new name, but still greyed out. This is new behavior in the new software. I was able to both Sync photos and stream music from the same computer in the past. Now do I have to turn off sync to stream music from the same source? -
Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but iTunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results.
ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhoneI Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback. -
I submitted an ISBN number and title to the iBooks Store using iTunes Connect.
A nameless iBooks editor replied back, reuesting that I submit a digiral copy of my ePub document to iTunes Connect.
The first time, I got past the login stage, but I was told that my title and ISBN had already been submitted and I was kicked, the second through sixteenth time that I attempted to login, the system reported "Apple ID does not have permission to access this site"
Can someone please tell me how to manuver around this roadblock?

I am living in Iran...I have made an apple ID about 10 months ago to use free Apps available in ITunes and Application Store...But I always get a message which says your Apple ID does not exist in iTunes and Application Store...Please guide me how to use iTunes and Application Store for downloading free Apps and music...
It sounds like you haven't yet setup iCloud with that account and you need to do that on a Mac or iOS device. Once setup, you can enable iCloud on a PC, but it needs to be setup first.
See Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
Which says in part:
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

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. -

Apple ID does not have permission to access itunes connect.
I signed up itunesconnect.apple.com/Webobjects/iTunesConnect.woa/wa/apply (This is all to upload my ebook in ibook format)
and the computer is new and updated and before I did this I had a valid new itunes account with my tax id that is
separate from my other itunes accounts. I put in all the info and itunes producer didnt come up on the screen but i
sent all of the info to apple and the forms seemed to take it.(accept) I then when to itunesconnect.apple.com and I
get the error message Apple ID does not
have permission or access to itunes connect.
I went to apple ID and apple developer and verified all of my information and it is correct and I did also with itunes and apple ID!
I cannot login to itunesconnect.apple.com so I can upload my ebook.(yes its in epub format)
I did call apple care and the apple devel 800 numbers and they said to email itunes and ibookstore and its
been a long long time and I have not received any help at all. - Steve Jobs are you out there? Lots of other people are having similar or the same problem.

Why apple tv does not show in itune?
why apple tv does not show in itune?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you have the Apple TV 1.
Often a restart of ALL your equipment will help, it may also be a result of instaling or updating security software (check your security settings).
If problems persist, navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, 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. -
My Apple TV does not let me see vídeos when transmiting from my iPad And iPhone, however let me listen music And see the pictures when transmiting from theese devices.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
ITunes Connect login - Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect.
Hi,
I have a company iPhone developer account which I registered two years ago. I have renewed it and it has not expired. I am the agent and I know the Apple ID and password as I login to the dev portal fine. I am now trying to publish my first app under this account but I get this message when trying to log into iTunesConnect Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect.
My account seems to be in some strange state as I invited another developer to my team (my hotmail email account) and then tried to make that user the Agent but that didn't even work, my new user shows up in the list of developers/team members, but I cannot select them in the dropdown to make them the agent, only my current agent name shows.
Is this a hand off to Apple support situation? I am up against a hard deadline and fear this is going to add significant delays waiting for Apple support to look into it (I've seen some other posts of people waiting 3 weeks with this problem and getting nowhere with support).
Thanks in advance for any help,
PaulI only had the one login before. Yesterday to try to solve it I invited my hotmail account as a developer to the team. I then tried to make that developer the agent, but even though it shows in the team members, I cannot select the account to be the agent as its not in the dropdown list.
I am on OS X 10.7.3, using Safari. The dev account did not expire, I renewed it in April 2012 so there is plenty of time left on it. I am really stuck, this is so frustrating.
