Arrgh!! Apple TV2 and new iMac

I have a new iMac - it's lovely but my ATV2 just won't work any more.  When I go into "computers" it just can't see it, although youtube etc works just fibe.
I've restarted everything and I did manage to get it working briefly - but why won't it 'just work'?

Andy,
if you have a "new Mac", surely you're not on OS X 10.4.8 ? you may want to update your profile.
anyhoo, for the iMac and TV to play nicely, you need to set up home sharing on both devices. if you've done that, verify you did so correctly by following the instructions in the following support article:
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device

    If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

    Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
    If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple.  I believe it's your best bet.

  • My husband bought a new ipad and he created a new apple id and new password etc, now he wants to have all his pictures from his old Ipad that it was created on a different ID or Icloud id. How can i get the pictures?

    My husband bought a new Ipad Mini and he created a new Apple ID and new password for him, but his old Ipad was under my Apple ID and Icloud too. Now he wants to get his pictures from Icloud to his new Ipad, What do i need to do?

    You can use a wireless flash drive.
    Copy from old iPad > wireless flash drive > copy to new iPad

    i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
    i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.

  • HT200153 I have Apple TV, an Apple router and an iMac.  I rented a movie from Apple and downloaded it to my computer.  How do I get it to play on my TV?

    As I stated above:  I have an Apple TV, an Apple Router and an iMac.  I downloaded a movie I rented from the Apple store.  I downloaded it to my computer.  How do I get it to play on the TV?

    Two ways.  The easiest is to play it through the purchased items on Apple TV.  The second way is to play through home sharing from iTunes on your computer by clicking on the Computers icon on the Apple TV.
    Have a nice day.

  • Why when i use a new apple Id and new id for icloud all my information is gone? For example all my contracts are all gone.

    I don't know why when i used a new apple ID and new icloud ID all my information is done. My contracts are all gone. This only happen on on phone. When i was changing the other phones it works fine. Nothing is lost. So i dont understand when i was changing the apple ID and icloud Id the information is lost. You know when you go to setting and you click iCloud and i saw that the contracts book was light on. Does that matter? Does that cause i lost my contracts?

    I don't think the iPhone is really designed for people to be switching from one Apple ID to another so when you do so you may experience problems.  You have two options on the iPhone for where you can be accessing contacts, from iCloud and the iPhone itself.  You can also pull contacts off of a SIM card but they are then stored on the iPhone and not accessed from the SIM card.
    You could try this;
    1. Go to Settings > iCloud
    2. Sign in to the Apple ID that you want the Contacts from,
    3. Turn "On" the Contacts slider and let it download all of your contacts
    4. When it's done downloading, turn the slider back to "Off" and you should get a message like this..."What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud contacts on your iPhone?"
    5. Then select "Keep on My iPhone"
    Then after that you can then sign out of that Apple ID and into your other Apple ID and the contacts shouls still be there.

  • I have just became an Apple Developer and new to this whole developing thing.

    I have just became an Apple Developer and new to this whole developing thing. I became an apple developer to support what I'm doing.I just graduated high school and became a self learning video producer. I created videos since I first got into high school and that was my major. I'm planning on making a podcast channel. What I'm really asking is, how do I create an app for my website for older version iOS device (at least iOS 3 or iOS 4)???

    1st day in the community...my question apple tv2 and harmony 890 can I ? and how to ? if I can operate volume.
    using hdmi and optical between tv, receiver and apple tv

    The Apple TV is in the Harmony database. I'm using a Harmony 670 to play music through mine, as I write this. I created an Activity that includes the Apple TV, my receiver and my TV. I don't remember what category of device the Apple TV is listed under. Browse around the categories on the Harmony software or the web site and you'll probably find it eventually.

  • HT4914 Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription.

  • Hello all, I bouhgt a TV serial using my apple tv2 and my Apple ID information: all good. But then I got an e-mail from apple saying that an "unknown" user downloaded con ten using my apple ID. Nobosy stoled anything. How do I get my particular apple TV2

    Hello all, I bouhgt a TV serial using my apple tv2 and my Apple ID information: all good. But then I got an e-mail from Apple saying that an "unknown" user downloaded content using my apple ID. Nobody stoled anything. How do I get my particular apple TV2 to recognize my apple ID account so it knows it is me who is buying. Thank you so much.

    Dear AC,
    Thank you so, so much for this answer. I did go into my Apple ID account through iTunes store and associated my devices to my Apple ID account. I did this by working on my computers (a mac mini and a mac air) and my two devices (iPhone and iPad). Thus there is a statemente saying "4 devices are associated with this apple ID and can download your purchases from iTunes in the iCloud". So whenever I use them to purchase anything, iCloud knows it is me through my devices so I do not get no e-mail warming me my account might be being used by a stranger.
    So, how do I associate my apple Tv2 to my apple ID account? I went to its settings and could not find any way of doing it. Can you continue helpling me? Please.
    Thank you so so much

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

  • Windows Vista 64 bit and new iMac (Penryn)

    Anyone knows when the new iMacs will be "official supported" for Vista 64?
    I have read that today only the Mac Pro and the MacBook Pro ( both 2008 edition) are supported. I have try to install Vista 64 on my new iMac Penryn without problem (OS) while with the Bootcamp drivers i cant go on with installation becouse i have a compatibily error message with x64. It's BIOS EFI problem? ETA for new iMac support???
    Thx all

    If the Leopard DVD when inserted into Vista doesn't auto open to
    /BOOTCAMP
    and, those drivers are needed first in order to install BC 2.1 (buggy for many) there is a bit torrent of BC 64-bit drivers, but they should be there.
    I suspect that any Penryn series WILL be supported, but weren't/aren't ready, and that page listing Macs that are Vista 64-bit is therefore "out of date" at this point.
