Apple tv does not recognise movies in itunes library

Homesharing works. My issue is that apple tv does not recognise all movies in my library, particularly reference movies (created them through quicktime pro to overcome itunes not playing AVI issue). Can anybody help?

They may not be compatible.

  • 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 connect to my iTunes Library

    Apple TV has worked perfectly for the past couple of years but over the past couple of months the same message keeps appearing "could not connect to "my" Library". I have checked the following:
    iTunes is up to date
    Home sharing is turned 'on' on computer and Apple TV
    Wi-fi is on and signal strength is very good
    Computer and Apple TV is on the same network
    Restarted computer, router and Apple TV
    Firewall is turned off
    Apple TV has been reset
    Apple TV works for You Tube and TV channel apps on my iPhone and iPad
    The Apple TV device is a 2 or 3.
    Computer is a Mac and is only a few months old
    Tired connecting with Ethernet cable which made no difference.
    What else could it be?????

    Hey mustangtony,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the Apple TV is having trouble with Home Sharing. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a few steps in here you have not mentioned trying.

  • My Apple TV does not recognise My iTunes password. It works on all other devices but not Apple TV? Any ideas why or how to fix?

    Any ideas why my Apple TV does not recognise my iTunes password, when all other devices, including these communities are good with it?

    Hi Mick2291,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

  • Apple TV does not recognise my Ethernet!

    Apple TV does not recognise my Ethernet!  I have tried two different ethernet pathways, my sky box is right beside the Apple TV box and it works perfectly on both Ethernet paths! I am therefore assuming that the problem is not the Ethernet. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I should know about?

    Hi, guys.
    I'm having the same issue myself. Over wi-fi everything is fine with the ATV, switch to ethernet, caos. I simply can't identify why that's happening. I have a 100mb optical fiber and all the other stuff are functional, Macbook, iPhone, all the gang. Sooooo, what's going on?
    See the image below, brazilian portuguese but i guess you guys can figure something is just not right.
    Help me out, fellas, please.
    Thanks, cheers!

  • HT204053 my apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password what do i do?

    my apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password, what can I do?

    Hi goskii77,
    If you are having issues setting up your new Apple TV with your Apple ID, you may want to double check that the info is current and correct by logging into "Manage my Apple ID" as outlined on this page:
    Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
    If everything is confirmed as correct and working but your Apple TV still won't accept your Apple ID, you may want to try restoring it to factory settings:

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • After installing Mavericks iTunes 11.1.3 does not find my recent iTunes Library. Where did my current library go?

    After installing Mavericks iTunes 11.1.3 does not find my recent iTunes Library. Where did my current library go? The new iTunes opens a 2009 library on start up. My most recent library is ignored even when I go to it directly and start iTunes with it. In another thread someone suggested repairing permissions, I did that and it did not help. I ripped my entire CD collection over the summer (1000's of songs) and now they just don't exist...or I can't find them. They were there before I upgraded to Mavericks the other day. Now vanished. I have found no other issues with Mavericks (yet). Played the music last week; upgraded, now can't find my complete current library. If anyone has a clue as to what might be causing this I sure would like know. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Hi, sorry to hear you had this problem. Sometimes after updating iTunes the library appears blank because a new library (.itl) file has been created. Anyone else experiencing this issue may be able to resolve by following the steps outlined in TS1967. There is ofter a 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder in the iTunes folder, by quitting iTunes entirely and replacing the currently named iTunes Library.itl file with the library file named by date in the Previous Libraries folder (should look something like 'iTunes Library 2011-08-03') and renaming to 'iTunes library.itl' and relaunching you should find the library looks the same as it did before updating (metadata intact).

  • After having updated the software on my apple tv, i cannot set up home sharing on it (let alone itunes!) simply, the apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password anymore

    the second apple tv where i am still resisting tomupdate the software works very well as always.
    help!?

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!
    raadore

  • My apple tv is not picking up my iTunes library?

    I have my Apple tv all setup and working. it's connected to my wifi. However, it is not picking up my Itunes library. I have the right I.D. and password on. I've turned on home sharing on all my devices. I've reset my router and even turned of my firewall... Any other ideas? PLEASE HELP!!!!
    Thanks

    Unless you have a first generation ATV it will not show up in iTunes.  The 2nd and 3rd gen ATV's do not connect to iTunes that way.  They just connect via a service called "home sharing".  You never see them in iTunes.

  • Front row (with itunes 10) does not show moves from shared library

    I have two computers. My office computer contains all of my iTunes content, running iTunes 10. I have a mac mini connected to my television, and my intent is to use Front Row to access the shared library from the office computer. The problem is, when using front Row only a small number of my TV shows and none of my movies appear. I have checked the sharing settings on the source computer.

    Exact same problem here.
    It has been working fine doing this for years, then around a month ago after no changes to either machine that I know of, about half the content vanished when viewing a shared library.
    I seem to have also worsened the issue by trashing and rebuilding the iTunes library from scratch. Since at least before doing this I had some of my Movies and TV shows show, but not all, now I seem to have a tiny amount of movies and none of the TV shows listed.
    Checking on the source computer in front row shows all of them present as expected. Completely baffled by this. None of them are showing under odd sections (Say in Music rather than TV Shows) either so I know the meta-data isn't at fault.
