Apple TV does not see either of my Windows 7 PC's

My Apple TV says I need to enable Sharing in iTunes but it is already enabled.  Neither my apple TV nor my iPhone 5 recognize my PC iTunes library.  It all worked fine last month but something has changed recently.  I have iTunes 11.1 and ios7.  The internet has much to say about this problem but I cannot see any workable solution. I have been through all of the networks checks and all is fine.When I display the PC's network map, it fails to show the Apple TV. Strangely, the Apple TV can find and play my music library but will not see my computer when the icon is selected.  Any help would be appreciated. 

In my last update, I said that changing the compatibility mode corrected the Home Sharing issue but turned out to be problematic and not really solving anything. 
I now tried another fix which has worked completely.  I think I have seen this fix elsewhere.  I went into the network LAN card and turned off TCP/IP Version 6.  Now the Home Sharing icon appears on my iTunes app and also on my iPhone.  It looks like Microsoft may have turned it on during one of its patches.  At this point, nothing really needs version 6 so should be no harm in disabling it.

  • Apple TV does not see other iTunes

    My Apple TV and my iTunes get along great. A friend showed up with his iTunes (on an XP PC). My iTunes and his work fine together, we are both on 7.3.1. So I know network, sharing and connections all are fine. itunes is working as it should for both of us.
    But the Apple TV does not see his iTunes to stream. It is supposed to be able to steam from 5 other iTunes, but my Apple TV only sees mine (the one it syncs with). Note that it can also stream from mine just fine.
    Any ideas?

    This may reflect my lack of understanding.
    His iTunes does not see the Apple TV at all. It does not show up in his iTunes. There is no "devices" list and no Apple TV.
    However, even if it did, if you register the Apple TV with another iTunes, doesn't that mean the Apple TV is now going to sync with that new iTunes? Don't you only want to register the Apple TV with one iTunes? I assumed it would stream with any iTunes on the network (up to five).
    But we are not there yet. His iTunes does not see the TV and the TV does not see him.
    I double checked, he is looking for Apple TV in his settings.

  • Lightroom 2.6 does not see CS-4 in Windows 7

    This issue is new with my laptop system. I installed CS-4 (32 and 64 bit) and Lightroom (64 bit-it says). All was working fine during my initial tests with images but I don't use the laptop frequently. Now that I am away from home and trying to take photos from Lightroom to Photoshop for advanced editing Lightroom does not see any of my Photoshop installations.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Even though this happens with Google Chrome as well, try trouble shooting Safari extensions...
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Second Apple TV does not see network

    i got an additional apple tv that has refused to see my network i have tried restarting both network and apple tv....changed location to see if signal strength was the issue .. but still only one of the apple Tv sees my network can anybody help!!!

    DHCP is enabled on my network
    Where? Do you have a router or some other network configuration? Could you describe a bit about your network? If you use a router, do you have its firewall activated, & any features like MAC filtering in use? Is the router's IP Address Pool (the range of IP addresses available for DHCP) restricted to just a few addresses or something unusual like that?
    Are you certain the network name you entered is correct (no leading or trailing spaces or anything tricky like that)? If your network is password protected, are you entering the right password?
    Can you be more specific about the error message -- does it really say "network (0)" for instance?

  • 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?

  • ITunes 11 does not see my iPhone

  • HT4101 I have a NIKON COOLPIX P500 but am unable to download photos through the IPad camera connection kit. I have tried to use the Sandisk card also - no result. Any suggestions? The Ipad does not "see" the card or camera?

    I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 but am unable to download photos from it to my iPad2 via the iPad Camera Connection kit. The iPad does not see either the Sandisk 8GB card or the Nikon camera. I have turned the camera on, but it seems that the camera just want to recharge its battery through the iPad as the iPad states that the devices draws too much power?? Anybodu solved this problem yet? Advise please?

    One thing to check is the format that the camera is saving pics to the card in. Many are selectable and, in most cases, if PTP is one of the options then you need to have that one selected for the files to be visible to iOS and the CCK (connection kit).
    Another thing which sometimes comes up, especially with older cameras and therefore probably not with yours, is the filenaming conventions used by the camera. iOS is quite strict about what it expects to see and if files are being stored with unsupported name formats then they simply won't be seen at all.

  • Email account does not see jpgs, pdfs to "Attach"

    I have done a number of posters that I want to send to my client and when I go to "Attach" in my yahoo email account, it does not see either the jpg version or the pdf version of my files. When I go go "computer" and look in the file folder, they are there.

    Does Yahoo Mail offer a list of supported attachment formats?
    That would be where I would look first.
    Good luck,

  • Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas?  I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

    I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

  • TS2972 My Apple TV does not let me see  vídeos from my Apple devices (iPhone And iPad), but is working Good with pictures And audio in internet radio transmited from my iPhone  And my iPad

    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. 

  • My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?

    Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.
