Apple TV not apearing as device in Itunes

I wonder if you could help. I'm not a computer whizz so all responses will have to be in plain english !
I have been using apple TV linked to my g5 foor several months now with no problems.
But the last few weeks when i have tried to sync with my computer the device is not appearing in itunes. The netwok is still fine as I can view moview previews, utube etc.
I have tried all the methods in the apple tv support but still nothing
I have a mac book pro and the device appears in that, but i don't want to sync with this computer as it does not have all my music i want to stream and all the photos i want to sync
I have now completly reset my apple tv so there is nothing on it but still it does not appear in my itunes.
HELP !!

IMHO, most problems of this nature are related to network settings, the difficulty of course being which network settings and with devices from a whole array of suppliers it's often not easy to pinpoint a common problem.
There does however seem to be a common issue after applying an itunes upgrade, where the upgraded itunes is seen by the tv as a new itunes library and not the one it is linked to, but itunes seems to recognise the tv as the one it has been linked to all along. The fix for this is to go to the 'sources' menu on the tv select 'syncing' and choose 'change itunes library' and enter the new pass code you are given into itunes.

  • Apple TV not appearing as device in iTunes

    Apple TV has disappeared as a device in iTunes. I have reloaded factory settings on the Apple TV and re-updated to v2 of software. Reloaded iTunes V7.6.1 and ensured that in preferences Apple TV is marked as "Look for Apple TV". Checked that wireless connections are all working. Please help...

    use the itunes and apple tv prefernce setting back and forth. Apple TV needs to see your new itunes.

    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.

  • IPod Nano 5G not recognized as device for itunes.

    I recently got an ipod nano 5g, and itunes is refusing to recognize it. It is shown only as a disc on my desktop, and is not shown under devices in itunes. As this ipod still has stock software, it's highly flawed, and I'm hoping the update will add the common sense features I"m wanting. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect so as to update.

    It only appear in Devices when it is paired to sync or stream OR whe you are in teh process of configuring itunes to pair it.
    If you have reset it, it will have forgotten teh settings to pair to itunes and won't appear.
    Have you tried re-adding a pairing to itunes under Settings>Computers on AppleTV?

  • My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

    When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using  previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

  • Apple TV not syncing purchases back to iTunes

    My Apple TV is not syncing purchases back to iTunes. All music and TV shows I've purchased through Apple TV since the upgrade to ATV 2.0 is still not showing up in iTunes.
    In iTunes, when I click on Apple TV in the left pane I see only the "Summary" and "Photos" tabs. On the main Summary window there is no button to "Sync" Apple TV. Neither are there any options for setting this up in iTunes Preferences, or in any of the on-screen settings in Apple TV itself. I can stream content just fine, I just don't see how to enable syncing back and forth. Am I missing something?
    Many thanks for your input!
    Tom

    Any idea how to get ATV to sync with iTunes? Is there some way to enable syncing to move purchased ATV content over to iTunes? I was under the assumption that this should happen automatically with 2.0. I also recall with ATV 1.0 that I DID at one point disable syncing in favor of streaming, and perhaps this setting somehow transferred over to ATV 2.0 ?
    Funny, others on this forum are trying to disable the automatic transfer of ATV content to iTunes, while I'm trying to get it to work!

  • Apps does not appear under devices in itunes., apps does not appear under devices in itunes.

    I am trying to get my apps to appear under devices in itunes.  They appear in the general library but not under devices. 

    When you turn on your iPad, you will not be able to see your apps under iTunes - though there is an iTunes Store, which is a different thing. Ito get your apps to appear in iTunes, open iTunes on your main computer and attach the sync cable. Both the general library and devices will appear.
    When you disconnect the cable, you won't be able to see Devices.

  • IPod does not appear under devices in Itunes

    These problems started a couple weeks ago: When I connect my iPod classic to my Windows 7 laptop, it doesn't appear under devices in iTunes, but the iPod says its connected. Also, a little blue sheild appeared over the iTunes icon on my desktop. When I click on iTunes, a message comes up telling me to turn off compatability mode before I open iTunes for best results because it was running on an earlier version of iTunes. I've tried switching the compatability around and all of the troubleshooting options possible for iTunes but nothing has changed and my iPod still does not show up in devices. What sould I do?

    The blue shield is Windows 7 telling you, to log in as Administrator, it need this higher priviledge to add devices like your iPod to the Machine.
    Perhaps, you can go to Microsoft forum, for the how_to override. (must be install and run iTunes as Administrator)
    Have a nice day!
