Apple TV no showing up

I have home sharing on all of my devices, all are logged into the same address but no option to play to apple tv is apparent. It reads my music fine but I can not play a tv show from either my Mac or ipad following a recent update .... help where is the silly switch?

The ATV2 does not stream the same way the ATV1 does, In other words ATV2 requires HomeSharing instead of streaming like the ATV1.
1) Make sure you have the most recent version of itunes (Check updates)
2) Turn on home sharing in iTunes
3) Turn on home sharing on ATV2.
4) Input name/password for iTunes account and your good to go.

    - Note that apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Is there a way to force my first generation apple tv to show up in iTunes without a TV?

    Is there a way to force my first generation apple tv to show up in iTunes without a TV?

    It would have to be connected to a TV to get the code off of it to to set it up in devices.  After that it would not actually have to be connected to a TV just to show up in devices....  but I am assuiming you actually want to USE ATV?  And for that it would still need to be connected to a TV.

  • Apple TV not showing up in device list in iTunes

    Apple TV stopped showing up in the devices list in iTunes when I tried to sync my movies, and iTunes froze in mid-sync. Since there is no "eject" button for Apple TV in iTunes, the only thing to do was to close iTunes. When I opened it up again...no more Apple TV under devices. Apple TV works as a stand-alone and I can purchase and view using controls in Apple TV, but I can't sync iTunes with Apple TV, so all my previous purchases are stuck in iTunes until I can sync again. I have tried all the work-arounds suggested by Apple. This is my second Apple TV. The first one did the same thing before the returns deadline kicked in. Hey Apple!! Wake up and fix this!!! If I can't sync with iTunes then I am not putting any money into movie rentals or purchases!! This is costing YOU $$$$$$$$!!

    I had this problem and tried most of the suggested solutions. I could ping the ATV, so I had not network problems. Finally, this is the suggestion that worked for me (Windows 7 user running iTunes 9.1.0.79):
    - power off the ATV
    - open iTunes on the computer;
    - ensure "Share my library on local network is enabled in iTunes (Edit--Preferences--Sharing);
    - power on the ATV;
    - go to "Add Shared iTunes Library" on the ATV (Setting-->Computer menu, second line of the menu) which puts up a new passcode on the screen;
    - DON'T proceed with inputting the passcode number to add the shared iTunes Library, but instead press "menu" button on ATV remote to exit the "Add Library" function and return to the ATV setting menu;
    - this step seems to wake up the ATV<-->iTunes connection and at this point the ATV device reappeared on iTunes!;
    - on the ATV (Setting--Computer menu) I was then able to connect to the nominated iTunes library (top line of the menu) and enter the passcode required by that screen.

  • I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer.  The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal".  What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

    iphone ios5..I upgraded to ios5 on my iphone 4 and in the demo video on the Apple website it shows a cute animation screen with the user dragging what appears to be balloons on a string how do you access this screen?
    Not sure if this is a game or app or not...it shows nothing about it and explains nothing about it...but it is there on the demo video on the apple website for the add to upgrade to ios 5...it shows the user dragging threads and the little icon monster at the bottom of the screen catches them

    Yea thats a game called "Cut the Rope" and it can be found in the App Store for $0.99 or you can buy the Lite version for free.

  • ?, How do I get Apple tv to show on my imac in the devices list?

    This is only possible with the first generation Apple TV, as you can sync items to it. The second generation Apple TV does not do this.

  • Takes a long time for Apple logo to show up on boot up

    My 13" mpb early 2011 takes a long time for the Apple logo to show up... Is there a way to fix this? (It should show up within 2 seconds after the initial chime)
    I have Win7 installed, could it be that? Since it might be detecting which partition to boot up with.

    Check login items ...
    Remove all items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
    Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
    Then restart your Mac to test.
    Not necessarily a Windows issue.
    ***   When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

    Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

  • 2nd generation Apple TV only shows apple icon

    2nd generation Apple TV only shows apple icon

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • HT201335 Apple TV stopped showing up on AirPlay, and Apple want to charge me $19.00 +tax to ask a question.

    After I updated AppleTV to 5.2 and iOS to 5.1.1 on my iPad, Apple TV stopped showing up on AirPlay. I searched for an answer on the Internet with no luck and I asked support through Apple's website. I was able to talked to someone on the phone from Apple but he said I have to pay $19 + tax. He said I will find answer on Apple support page, but I still don't have any answer. Please help me!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

    my apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?
