Apple TV won't recognize HomeSharing and no AirPlay on iPad

Hey, I bought an Apple TV and I just can't set it up. My Mac,iPad2 and Apple TV are all on the same network. HomeSharing is turned on both on my Mac and PC's but Apple TV won't see it. It's on version 5.0 and the iPad on version 5.0.1 but no AirPlay button, no idea why.
Any ideas?

This usually indicates a network issue.

If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your iPad then there are instructions on this page for how to reset the iPad (your iPad doesn't need to be connected to the internet) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If your computer's iTunes isnt recognising the iPad when you connect it then have you got a recent version of iTunes installed on your computer ? There are also troubleshooting pages for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :

HT202213 Apple tv won't recognize home share from my computer

I have turned on home shareing on both imac & apple tv but apple tv won't recognize my imac. the display just says turn on home shareing.
I managed to get to work once after I downloaded the latest version. It picks up the network ok, movies and music work fine.

if firewall in router or on the computer is not letting the shared lib be avaible then you need to change that

Apple Picture won't go away and won't turn on!

Help! First my nano was stuck in disc mode,took it to the apple store, they got out and said it just needed to charge .... now the Apple picture won't go away and I can't turn it on. I 've been letting it charge for two to three hours! What's wrong

I ended up having the same problem last weekend as well. My 80 gig iPod was acting weird from the very beginning (not remembering view settings), and its only a few months old.
I took it to the Apple Store, they ran a diagnostic, and it turned out it had corrupted drive. Thankfully I had applecare and they replaced it. I picked it up today, and guess what... This one doesnt remember the view settings either.

My state state tax site won't recognize the Adobe app on my ipad.

My sate tax site won't recognize the Adobe app on my ipad. Any ideas for me to get it to work.

If the file is definitely open in Adobe Reader, and it still says you need to download Reader, the form isn't compatible with an iPad and you'll need to use a computer.

IPhone 5 won't recognize (or be recognized by) my iPad with bluetooth

iPhone 5 won't recognize (or be recognized by) my iPad with bluetooth. There was no issues in the past when I used my iPhone 4...but the iP5 won't recognize the iPad. Ironically, it will recognize bluetooth headphones. Am I missing something?

Hi,
I have the same problem, did you find a resolve?

Apple tv won't recognize my password and or id

Trying to setup my Apple Tv. I won't recognize my password and/or ID. I logged on to apple to reset everything and got a confirmation email.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What type of wifi security are you using.
Does your ID or password have any unusual characters.
Are you getting any date/time errors.
Is this the first time you have used the Apple TV.

Apple creates Drivers but WINDOWS won't recognize them and doesn't let me install W7

Hi dear Mac users,
Boot Camp Assistant creates my drivers for me and I can place them either in a CD or a USB Disk.
I start W7 installation and it ask me for MAC drivers, even thought I browse drivers location W7 won't recognize them.
So i checked, most of the drivers are .exe, but W7 asks for the drivers long before the installation.
(I have W7 Home Premium)
So either I'm really really dumb or there's something wrong,
Thx for your help,
Alessandro

Is it asking for Mac Boot Camp drivers OR is it a generic Windows error asking for CD/DVD drivers?
If it's asking for CD/DVD drivers then it seems there is an issue with burning a W7 .iso, etc, images onto a disk on the Mac side. The W7 installer has the basic drivers already for everything so it can start up on any machine, for some reason that part of the iso gets buggered up when burning a disk. (or maybe gets corrupted when downloaded?). It seems to work best at x1 or x2 speeds and you may have to try other brands of disks. If you know anyone with a Windows machine you can try that.
Do a search for burning Windows 7 iso or something like that as there are quite a few post's about it.

Itunes won't recognize ipod and videos gone

I have a 30GB Video Ipod and itunes won't recognize it. I have to keep putting the music files back in and converting them. Also the Movie and TV Shows I bought disappeared. I have a Windows XP Home Edition, and itunes 7. I downloaded itunes about 4 or 5 months ago, it that helps. My ipod shows up in my computer though. I want to know:
1. How can I get itunes to recognize my ipod
2. How do I get itunes to keep and remember my files
3. How do I get my videos back?
4. Which version of itunes should I get and how do I get it?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This article addresses both error messages...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
As for the iPod not turning off. Try resetting...

After you reset it, wait about a minute and then try turning it off.

Updated 2.2.1 - Now iTunes won't recognize iPhone (and iPhone won't work)

I had this happen last time I did an update too, but that was fixed by going into my control panel and starting my apple mobile device - I checked and this time all is running. I can't use my iPhone and iTunes won't show it's connected even though it is (so can't restore, etc. since it won't recognize the device). I've tried closing out of iTunes and re-connecting the phone - nothing. I'm on PC using 2003 Microsoft software.
Thanks for any insight.

Sorry, gave the wrong PC info. I'm on XP Professional, version 2002, service pack 3.
Please help!

Computer won't recognize ipod and ipod flases foler with exclamation point

Last week, my computer randomly said it did not recognize my ipod. I continued to use it and figured I'd worry about updating it another time. Then today, I was using my nano and it stopped and flashed the folder with the exclamation point icon and below the icon directed my to Apple's support website. I've tried most of the things I've seen in the forums, and I really have no clue what to do. Everytime I try to turn it on, the icon comes up and everytime I try to connect to iTunes my computer won't recognize it.

rfletche,
Just confirming... have you seen these articles?
iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
iPod displays a sad iPod icon
Also, see this post by Mitch 751, a user on these Discussions, which details some things to try with an exclamation point and folder symbol on an iPod:

Flash drive somehow corrupt. Finder won't recognize it and Disk Utility won't repair it

I have a 16 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive. Somehow, and I haven't figured it out yet, but is got corrupted and Finder won't recognize anymore. So I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk and it said that it needed to be repaired. So I tried it and I got the message saying "Disk Erase failed with the error: File system formatter failed." And when I try to reformat it, I get the same message. I've tried it with a PC as well but it doesn't show up and Disk Manager won't reformat it either. I've given up on recovering the files, but I still would like to recover the drive. Any solutions would be appreciated.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
