I removed apple tv from my iTunes library.  how do I get it back?

If you're running VirusBarrier X6 or another anti-virus app, check the post reproduced below  It solved the issue for me.

Re: "Look for Apple TVs" is missing from iTunes10 prefs. apple TV cant synch 
Feb 1, 2011 8:34 AM (in response to ArtL)
This post expands on an earlier post about Intego virus protection causing a problem. If you use Intego VirusBarrier X6, your connection to Apple TV is likely to be blocked by default, which means Apple TV will not appear under Devices in iTunes. (Historically, Intego software has been very unobtrusive, so this is unusual.) The solution is to update VirusBarrier X6 to the latest version, then click on the Antivandal Tab, then the 'Trusted Addresses' tab. Finally, click on 'Trust Apple TV' checkbox near the bottom of the application window. You may need to restart iTunes. Unfortunately, at this time, this solution may also fail. In that case, follow these steps to manually "trust" Apple TV: First, revert VirusBarrier X6 to it's default settings: -Select 'VirusBarrier X6' in the top-left menu bar of your screen. 
-Choose Preferences from the drop down menu
-Click the Advanced icon in the new window that appears.
-Now click 'Revert to Default' and enter your admin user password. Now, follow these steps to allow access to the Apple TV: To locate your Apple TV's IP address:
-Go to the Settings menu on Apple TV
-Select General
-Select Network Now, make note of your Apple TV's IP address. Now, open your VirusBarrier X6 software:
-Select the AntiVandal icon
-Click on the 'Trusted Addresses' tab
-Click the small '+' sign in the lower left corner of the application window
(you may need to click the small padlock icon to allow changes)
-Enter the IP address from your Apple TV
-Click 'Okay' Test to see if your able to connect to your Apple TV.

  • 1st gen Apple TV not in devices list in iTunes

    My 1st generation AppleTV is no longer showing in the devices list in iTunes on my Mac Pro.  I have read several pieces of advice and performed the following long list of actions but I am still stuck and unable to sync my Apple TV.  I hope someone has a new suggestion for me?
    The AppleTV has had the computer removed from the connections setting.  It has been rebooted and left on the connect a new computer screen with the numerical password visible.
    The AppleTV can be seen visible in the iTunes of my Macbook Air running 10.8.3 and the iTunes version is 11.0.2.  I have not 'clicked to setup' since my main library is on my Mac Pro that used to sync.  I can ping appletv.local from my macbook air succesfully which returns an IP address.
    My MacPro is running OSX 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.2 and one day the device failed to show in the devices menu.  I cannot ping appletv.local from my Mac Pro but I can ping the IP address returned from the ping on my Macbook Air.
    At first I removed the device from iTunes preferences and removed the computer from the AppleTV which allowed me to see the AppleTV on my Macbook Air but not my Mac Pro.
    Secondly I used AppZapper to uninstall iTunes and reinstalled from a fresh download as r4ecommended here -> http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329494-263.html  I also used Pacifist to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service after removing the service as per the instructions here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747  My iTunes library is back as it was but my other devices were originally missing until I connected them via USB to re-enable the wifi sync.
    I can see my shared libraries between my MacPro and my Macbook Air.  I can also use Airdrop between them and can connect between them as usual.  I have disabled the firewall on my Mac Pro just in case and I have no VPN or antivirus software that blocks any communication.
    My network setup is a little unusual since I have my ISP router as the DHCP assigner connected to an Airport Extreme base station that acts in bridge mode to distribute a wifi network across my home.  I then have a powerline adapter connected to the airport base station to send network around my home to places where wifi is weak.  My macbook air connects to the wifi.  My MacPro connects via a switch in my office to a 2nd powerline adapter.  My AppleTV connects via a 3rd powerline adapter and can see the internet fine (it plays youtube videos for example).  None of the network devices have any ports blocked on them and since the Macbook Air connects to the AppleTV as expected but the MacPro does not then I do not think it is network related.
    So I can only assume there is something wrong with my MacPro being unable to recognise my AppleTV as an AppleTV rather than just another device on my network.  Anyone else got any ideas of what to try on my MacPro to get it to recognise the AppleTV?

    I am still experiencing this issue - can anyone help?
    Since writing the above replies I have also tried to downgrade iTunes to 10.7 via these instructions -> http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/03/how-to-downgrade-from-itunes-11-to-version- 10-7-on-your-mac/ but that did not work.  iTunes worked fine but the AppleTV was still not in my devices list on my Mac Pro

  • Apple tv not in devices in itunes

    This seems to be a common theme and I've been scouring forum posts and have found similar problems but thought I'd ask here as well:
    We have a 2nd gen ATV that has worked fine for almost a year, with the occasional hiccup that was usually solved by resetting or unplugging power source and plugging back in.  In the last week, we have not even been able to use it for most things....here's are the problems: 
    -Netflix streaming and iTunes all work fine on our iMac and MacBooks
    -we can access all of our iTunes music on ATV
    -home sharing is ON
    -no access to any of the general or network settings on Apple TV
    -no access to "sign out" of netflix on ATV
    -we can stream Netflix shows and movies for exactly 2 minutes, then it shuts off, back to menu where you push play on ATV
    -we can watch previews of Itunes movies, but we can't access the rent feauture
    -we can watch previously purchased Itunes shows
    & probably the source of out problem - Apple TV is not showing up as a device in Itunes on the main iMac.
    When we try to connect it in Itunes we get the error 15006, which I've searched on here and found no solutions.
    I'm at the end of my rope - we are not techies by any means, we have an all Apple household and shut off cable and now we literally can't watch any TV at all....I know Apple will try and tell me to buy Extended care if I call Support, which is ridiculous when this stupid thing only cost $99 to begin with....should I jjst buy a Roku?  Is this a fixable problem?  Do we need more bandwidth?  Why can't the computer connect to the ATV??
    Please help!!

    If you can't get into the settings on ATV then I would suggest disconnecting it and restoring in iTunes

    got the apple tv up and running , but not showing up on device list on itunes?

    The Apple TV 2 is not suppose to show up in iTunes.

  • Apple TV not in Device List

    Help!!! I have done everything a zillion times. Somebody must know something!!

    Finally I found the solution. The problem was the firewall (netbarrier x4) stopped the connection Apple TV did a port scan. Open Netbarrier, go into the anti-vandal, and remove Apple TV's IP from the Stop List. It should work perfectly now (if necessary restart iTunes)
    To prevent this from happening again you can do 2 things:
    1. Put your Apple TV IP address into the "Trusted Group"
    2. If your router allows (mine - D Link - does) reserve the current Apple TV IP address to it. So you can make sure it will never change its IP address; alternatively you can set up your Apple TV with a fixed IP address.

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router and your computer.

  • Can 2 ios devices with same apple id not share stuff?

    Hi folks,
    A bit of a long story but we've ended up with my wife's iphone and my son's ipad using the same apple id.
    any app i buy for my son pops up on my wife's phone.
    Can I turn off sharing? I'd like the calendar and other stuff to be seperate too.
    Neither of them need any sharing to other devices either.
    Cheers

    Use a different Apple ID for each person.  On each device, under Settings in the following areas, make sure that each device is only using the Apple ID assigned to that person:
    iCloud (If you share an Apple ID here, your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and PhotoStream photos will be shared, as well as using up the same free 5G of backup space.  And it's 5GB per Apple ID, not per device)
    Messages (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll receive each others iMessages)
    FaceTime (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll receive each others FaceTime calls)
    GameCenter (If you share an Apple ID here, then certain games/apps will share the same progress)
    iTunes & App Store (If you share an Apple ID here, you'll have access to the same iTunes & App store purchases.  This is the one place where it's not really a problem, since many families don't want to have to make multiple purchases of the same iTunes music or paid apps.  And you can prevent the new content from automatically downloading to other devices by disabling that feature in Settings > iTunes & App Store.)

    Someone made a purchase from my Apple ID to a device that was not mine – I received an email stating that this occurred, yet the only solution that Apple gave me was to change my password. When I look at my account, I can see the $20.00 purchase of music volumes that I did not purchase myself and was not uploaded to any of my devices; however, I cannot find a solution to getting my money back or to file a complaint against the unknown person that did this. Additionally, how do we prevent something like this from happening again, especially when I have an iPhone? What can I do in this situation?

    Thank you for the suggestion. I did change the password; however, I generally will purchase gift cards to link to the account so that if something like this ever happened it would not be taken out of a credit card or bank account.

    Apple tv not showing up in devices on itunes.  Content gone from the apple tv and I'm not sure how to sync.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Re-pair your library with iTunes.
    Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
    Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.

  • HELP (Apple TV not showing up in Devices list)

    Has anyone resolved this issues. Like many others, i have things set up perfectly. My itunes stream, but when I go back to sync photos,etc. there is no Apple TV in the "Devices" list (as there is no devices list).
    HEEEEEEELP

    AppleTV does not show up in my Devices list unless there is a code on the screen of the AppleTV. It's not the way I understand it's supposed to work, and apparently not the way everyone's works, but it's a reasonable workaround for me. I think this is a bug in the software that's interacting with something else on my network or a QC problem with some hardware component, because it doesn't happen to every AppleTV.

    Are you trying to change the iCloud ID on your phone?
    Also, you can change your iTunes ID by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
