Apple Tv not working with itunes on a pc

Hiya, I have had an apple tv for about 6months now and i love it. Yesterday it stopped working. It wont stream to my pc and when i try to make it Itunes just crashes. Also most of the time it wont show up in the devices list. It wont sync with my apple tv either. I have changed nothing in my setup for aleast a month so why today. Also to fix it i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it rebooted the box and factory reset it and then updated it. So PLease Help

Welcome to the  Discussion forums
My first suspicions would be with your PC rather than the tv or your network since itunes is crashing which it shouldn't do. You may not have changed your set up yourself but there have been a few  updates and M$ and antivirus providers are very good at giving you new security fixes every few days.
Check your firewall isn't blocking the relevant ports (3689 TCP, 5353 UDP), disable any antivirus temporarily and you might want to check and repair your registry.

  • Apple tv not working with itunes match

    I bought Apple Tv last week and also bought the Itunes match , but whenever i open music on my apple tv , it says
    "Itunes Match "
    " Setting up your apple tv to stream music from itunes match . This may take a few minutes,depending on the size of your library and internet connection speed "
    i have already turned on itunes match on my Apple Tv and computer . Still its not working .

    I had a similar issue.  As of September 29, 2014.  After setting up iTunes Match on my Mac through iTunes, iTunes Match was not working on Apple TV.  The weird thing was that it worked on my iPhone 5 and Late 2013 iMac.  Strangely Apple TV was the newest device.  I and the newest OSs available for all my devices (iMac, iPhone and Apple TV - either OS X 10.9.5 and/or iOS 8.0.2).
    I called Apple Support and spoke with someone who had me log out of and back into my Apple account through Apple TV.  I was then prompted to activate iTunes Match on Apple TV (3rd Generation).
    That fixed the problem for me.
    Be advised that you need to remember your Apple TV password in order to sign back in.  Apple TV does not cache Apple ID passwords.
    I suggested to the Rep that they need to make the process much simpler via a way to Refresh iTunes or, at least, add Keychain to Apple TV so that I did not have to go through this again.  I suggest other users make the same requests through Apple Feedback for Apple TV.

  • Apple ID not working with iTunes

    Hi,
    After I updated to the most recent update (7.04) the iTunes Store won't let me update apps. When I press update all or just one of the apps it asks me for my password for my id. I put it in but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize it, like before the update. I'd like to update my apps because they seem to crash easily since the update. Does anyone have any ideas? Would it be a good to get help from Apple?

    First thing to try is a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Apple tv not working with itunes

    my new apple tv is connected to the internet and the signal is strong, but keep getting the message that itunes cannot find my apple id or password.
    Can anyone help?

    have you gone into it's settings and applying your appleID and password there?

  • HT202274 Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep i

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Apple tv not working with panosonic TH-50PX75U old.

    Apple tv not working with a 3-4 year old Panasonic TH50PX75U tv, works fine on all other tv's in the house. HDMI cables seem to be fine they work with the DVD and DVR. Ratio is set to auto, apple logo on screen when booting up then Goes away. Seen twice for a split,nano second the apple tv menu on screen. Then in upper left corner of tv a grey box appears with HDMI 2 appears. any help would be great... Thanks in advance, Tom

    I had a similar issue, without the actual error message. If you can't get it running at all, you will be forced to do what I, and many others have done over the past 24 hours. You can restore your Apple TV to factory settings (you will then have to enter your ID, passwords, etc., to connect everything again--sigh--) by obtianing a Micro-USB cable (found one today at Best Buy for 5 bucks, available other places that sell electronics, etc.) disconnect your Apple TV, and connect it via the micro usb cable (which attaches in the back of the ATV) to your computer, plug the ATV power cord into the wall and open iTUnes. You can click the Apple TV on the left side of iTunes and click restore--it will not take too long on a decent internet connection, and it will automatically install the software update (you have no choice on this, BTW, you can't go back to the previous software, as Apple only supplies the new software online (sadly).  Your ATV 3 should work and you can put it back to your TV and re-enter all your info and enjoy the new features. But if you are like me, you won't enjoy AirPlay, something seems to be wrong with that if you use an iPhone or iPad and have updated to IOS7--not sure which is the problem, or both, but be prepared for a little more frustration, but at least your ATV 3 will "work" mostly as it did before.
    I hope this helps, it is frustrating, but it is resolveable with a little bit of time--not that I'm happy about it, either.

  • Why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

    why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

    When is it asking for it ?
    If you are updating from iOS 7+ to 7.0.4 then did you have Find My iPod enabled on it ? If you did then it might be asking for the password for your account when you set that 'on'.

  • MBA 13" media buttons not working with iTunes

    I just got my mba 13" and everything is great, but for some reason the media buttons do not work with itunes. I've tried them with vlc and other applications and they work fine. Any ideas how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    No, it didn't work fine with VLC. Whenever I pressed "play/pause", it'll trigger iTune and the media buttons become the controller for both applications at the same time.
    What the %^&*..
    Cheers.
    Reset PRAM.

  • Overdrive Media console not working with iTunes when transferring audio books.  Any suggestions?

    Overdrive Media console not working with iTunes when transferring audiobooks.  Some parts don't transfer.

    Robin, I have the 4S too. Here's wha I've been doing. Well, I am downloading wma books, but it is super time consuming and annoying. First, shut off genius in your preferences in iTunes. Also change to spoken podcast for speed. Then, you start to transfer from Overdrive. It will create a playlist with your book title. Open up books though because you need to keep an eye on it. It may download like three parts and then you may have a grey one. When you get the grey, cancel the transfer, delete the greyed part, exit iTunes, re-enter iTunes, and then try to download the remaining book parts. I usually have to re-enter iTunes three or four different times during a book. When your book is downloaded, all black and none grey, open up the playlist folder and double check that all parts made it in there. If not, carry them from the books folder to the playlist and then move it into numerical order.
    Re non bookmarking problem. I now have a new habit of checking what part I am on before i shut off my phone or switch to another book. It does save where you were, it just doesn't show you. For instance, if I start part three and then play music, and then go back to the book playlist, it will appear as if we are back to the beginning, but if I go to part three, it will start up from where I was. So, just start checking and then it is easy. I am flabbergasted that no other proper solution has been offered by Overdrive. This has been a problem since October. I also wish they would acknowledge the problem on their website as well as post what version number of update they have. I have 3.2.1.0 and think that's current. Does anyone have newer than this. Good luck, and happy commuting!
    An easy, quick workaround is to plug external speakers into your laptop and take it with you in the car. A bit unwieldy, but I can't commute without books.

  • IPOD TOUCH NOT WORKING WITH ITUNES

    I am using:
    iPod Touch 16GB 1.1.4 (With $25 Software Upgrade)
    Windows Vista Premium Edition
    iTunes 7.6.2
    Whenever I connect my iPod, the device connect sound is made and it shows up in the my computer window, but it will not show up or sync with iTunes.
    I HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
    Reseting the computer
    Reseting the iPod
    Using a different USB port
    Using a different cable
    Erasing ALL of the iPod's contents (Yes I lost my $25 update as well)
    Restarting the "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" in the "systems" application
    ...As well as many other things, all with absolutely NO results.
    I have tried to manage my ipod through other programs, nothing seems to work. I connected the iPod to a different computer and everything worked fine.
    I ASSUME the problem has something to do with the iPod Touch's drivers; for whatever reason they might be corrupted or installed incorrectly, thus preventing the iPod from automatically reinstalling them as well as preventing the possibility of syncing.
    My question is, how can I reinstall the drivers without having the iPod touch do it automatically?
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    I fixed the problem myself.
    If anyone else has this same problem and is looking to fix it, here is what I did.
    I found this on another site:
    "Okay well I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple trying to fix this problem. The guy I talked to seemed to have delt with this problem before. He tould me that Apple was getting numerous calls about the iPod touch not connecting with iTunes. So here is the solution that worked for me.
    The first thing you must do it uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the controll pannel, add/remove hardware, on your windows computer. Once you have uninstalled both of thoes programes go ahead and look for anything else that is Apple and uninstall them as well. There should be an Apple updater or driver that is very critical to uninstall, this was the cause of iTunes not recognizing the new iPod Touch. Next make shure you have the very latest update for Windows on your computer, you can check this on Microsofts web page. Finnaly once you are shure you have UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING that says Apple, iTunes, or Quick time restart your computer and MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR IPOD IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then download the newest version of iTunes and install it. Once the installation is complete go ahead and connect the iPod Touch and everything should work.
    I am not shure if this will work for everyone but in my situation it worked. I hope it helps some of you out there!!"
    That worked like a ******* charm. Hope this helps.

  • What's With Volume Logic Plug-In Not Working With iTunes V7. and Up

    Hello Folks. I recently updated to iTunes ve 7.0.2 and now my great Volume Logic Plug-in won't work. I downloaded the latest update and then read info on the Plantronics site about the problems with the plug-in with new itunes updates.
    Is anyone here figured out what's going on or a workaround. That plug-in makes such a positive difference in music sound quality, the tunes almost feel "naked" without it
    Steve

    Prior to the 1.3.2 released (beta or the now-available final), Volume Logic did not work at all with iTunes 7. According to Plantronics, Volume Logic does not work with Airtunes and the AIrport Express (it's stated right in their FAQ).
