Apple tv not syncing with iTunes on Mac or IPad

hi there. I have Apple TV 2. AirPlay with my IPad 2 and ATV won't work. And I can't sync ATV with my ITunes library on my Mac. I've worked out it's the routers fault. I need to open some ports, but I'm not sure how to do it. It's a Netgear DG834G. Any idea how to do it?

As a first step, make sure you have turned on Home Sharing in the TV and in iTunes and on the iPad.
In iTunes click Advanced/Turn on Home Sharing.
I can't help you with the Netgear.

  • Apple TV not syncing with iTunes for purchased movies

    Hi, I purchased two movies on iTunes and neither one is syncing with my Apple TV. All music is syncing perfectly fine.
    The Apple TV is set to Custom Sync. On the movies tab of the Apple TV device in iTunes I have selected sync all movies since the two I am trying to sync are the only two I have purchased. When I click sync it takes about 15 seconds and then finishes with no additional files transferred. I have also tried changing the setting from sync all movies to sync selected with the two movies selected beneath. Neither works for me. Any ideas on why?
    I am using iTunes 8.2

    in iTunes in the left hand panel under "Library" click on "Movies".. in the right hand list... find the movies that you bought. on far right of each row/item in the list is a checkbox... this checkbox must be checked or the movie will not sync... is that checkbox checked?

  • App purchased on iPhone not syncing with iTunes on mac

    I recently purchased an app on my iPhone and wanted to use home sharing to allow my daughters to play too but couldn't do that from the app store without buying it again. I thought if I synced with my computer it might work but this app won't sync either. It works on my phone. It shows up in the image but isn't listed under "apps". How to I fix it? (The app in question is Dwelp as shown in the image below.)

    You should be able to copy from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
    (The listbox on the left-hand side of the screenshot that you've included lists the apps that are in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library, and it allows you to select which apps that you want on your phone from that list - when you've done the Transfer Purchases that app should then be in the Apps part of your library and therefore show in that listbox.)

  • Apple TV NOT syncing with iTunes

    I've had my Apple TV for a little over a year and I have synced it with my MacBook Pro a few times in the past. I recently move and reconnected all my media and computers and NOW I'm not able to connect to my Apple TV via iTunes. I've bought several new movies since my last sync and now I'm not able to back any of it up. What can I do to get itunes to recognize that I have a Apple TV. I've already tried to go thru preferences in itunes and click on AppleTV but nothing shows up. I also use an Airport Extreme for my internet and my Apple TV is connect to it via Ethernet cable. Please help!!!

    have you tried a complete power cycle of your equipment ?
    shut everything off for a while. then start the modem and let it run for a while. next, start the router and wait a little, followed by AX and TV. last startup your Mac. try again.
    any difference ?

  • HT1386 iphone will not sync with itunes the apple sign just keeps popping up

    iphone will not sync with itunes or ture on only with it on a charger but will only keep popping up the apple sign or on acation show iso6 on screen and say sync with conputer but as soon as i take it off yhe charger it wont do anything

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

    my iphone 3 will not sync with itunes, it says Apple mobile device is not started, also doing it with ipad - can anyone help??? thanks

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

  • IPhone 5 not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3

    My iPhone 5 (version iOS 6.1.4) is not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3 ?
    When I plug my iPhone 5 into my Mac Pro (version OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3) the iPhone 5 syncs with iPhoto but not iTunes ?
    The phone 5 is being charged via the USB cable into the Mac Pro, I can import photos via iPhoto from the iPhone 5, but I can not get iTunes to sync with the iPhone.
    I have gone through all the steps in the "iPhone not appearing in iTunes" support assistant link with no luck:
    iPhone not appearing in iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
    Does anyone have any suggestions ?

    I finally got iTunes to sync with my iPhone 5
    I followed the step by step instructions in this archived support article:
    Archived - Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If the issue remains, try these steps:
    Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
    In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash. (This will not remove any of your iTunes media or your iTunes library.)
    Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/Extensions
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "AppleMobileDevice.kext" and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart the Mac.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    Click Go.
    Locate the folder "MobileDevice.framework" and drag it to the Trash.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
    Restart the Mac.
    Download iTunes and reinstall it. Test to see if the issue persists. Then, restart your Mac a final time to confirm issue is still resolved.
