ATV doesn't show up for syncing but does for streaming..

My ATV was sync'd successfully months ago with my iMac - but is not set up for auto sync.
Now I want to update the ATV library and want to sync again, but the ATV's Settings>Computers for the iMac sync'd library is greyed out and the ATV doesn't show up as a device on the iMac's iTunes panel. Here's a weird thing, though. If I click on 'Add Shared iTunes Library' on the ATV, the ATV immediately shows up in the iMac's iTunes devices panel. If I then enter the passcode, I can stream from the iMac ok - but, I really want to sync from it. (My MacBook behaves the same way - the ATV showing up for streaming, but disappears otherwise).
This proves I don't have a network connection problem, I guess, but why doesn't the iMac (or the MacBook) see the ATV normally? The iMac preferences are set to look for the ATV.
The ATV is wired into my TC router and the iMac/MacBook are wireless into the network. I updated the ATV software to 3.0.2 but it didn't affect the problem.

If you last synced months ago, is there any possibility you've made a major iMac change like reinstalling the OS, or thta you might have synced using a different user on the imac? Could you have created a new iTunes library under that user, eg moving one to an external drive, as a new iTunes library would be different.
As you say network seems ok.
If the library name is there but greyed out AppleTV/iTunes are not detecting this is the same library for some reason.
Also check in iTunes Preferences - under the AppleTV tab - how many AppleTV's are listed 'known' to iTunes (connected or not)?
If you can navigate to the greyed out sync library (top entry of the lot in Computers) and try to select it you could remove it as the sync library, then remove the streaming entry below and try to re-add it as a sync library once more - this will however wipe AppleTV content to prepare for a fresh sync.

Apple TV syncs but does not stream- Article: TS1447 not helpful

My content does not stream from my Mirror Door computer. I have read the article listed above but System Preferences, Sharing does not offer the firewall setup posted, even though it was posted December 08.
When I first set this up it worked fine now it syncs and does not stream. I have hard rebooted the Apple TV, I have disconnected it from my current iTunes and then went through the process of re-associating it with my iTunes. All are most recent versions. Everything works fine except for the portion of streaming from my computer. I have not a clue! Any ideas? Is there a preference file I should delete?
Setup: Mirror Door connected to the new Extreme N.
*The Sharing panel does not have a Firewall option.*

Apple TV: Data does not sync or stream after entering passcode
Last Modified: December 02, 2008
Article: TS1447
Old Article: 305287
Symptoms
Once you have entered the passcode from the Apple TV on your Mac or PC to establish a syncing or streaming connection, the sync or steam of content may not work.
Products Affected
Apple TV
Resolution
This can result from a firewall being enabled on your Mac or PC. If you have a firewall enabled, please make the following adjustments:
On a PC
Make sure the firewall is configured to allow TCP connections on port 3689. This will allow the transfer of content for syncing and or streaming to your Apple TV. If you use Windows Firewall, see "iTunes for Windows: Music Sharing With Windows Internet Connection Firewall " for detailed steps. If you use other firewall software, check the documentation for that software on how to open port 3689.
On a Mac
Open the Sharing System Preference (choose Apple > System Preferences and then choose View > Sharing).
Click on Firewall.
In the "Allow" field make sure the "iTunes Music Sharing" check box is checked. This will allow the transfer of content for syncing and or streaming to your Apple TV.
If you use other firewall or internet protection software, check the documentation for that software on how to open TCP connections on port 3689.
Note: If you use "fast user switching" on a Mac with firewall enabled you'll need to enable additional ports to allow streaming to Apple TV. If you don't, only the first user will be able to stream to Apple TV. For one additional user enable TCP port 49152. For each additional user, open the next incremental port (49153 for three users, 49154 for four users, 49155 for five users, etc.).
Follow these steps to add the necessary ports:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Sharing.
Click the Firewall tab.
Click New.
From the Port Name pop-up menu, choose Other.
In the TCP Port Number(s) field, type in:
491452, 49153
This example allows for a total of three users. If you need more, enter the additional number(s) as described in the note above. If you need fewer, just enter the first number.
In the Description field type in: Extra Apple TV streams
Click OK.

Click on the greyed out library and a dialogue telling you the library is unavailable will appear with an option to disconnect, I haven't actually tried this since if it does what I think it does it will delete my registration.
You may want to try the 'change library' option I mentioned before for the synced library, it may avoid you having to resync everything over.
Sync and stream are initiated from different ends, streaming doesn't work because you have changed your libraries and the tv no longer recognises them. I assume you moved your libraries over to your new mac, when you sync from itunes it uses the info from before you moved it and of course the tv is still the same tv so itunes recognises it and it will sync.

TS3274 Sound doesn't work for games but does for everything else!

The sound doesn't seem to work with the games but works with everything else ..... What's the reason for that and how do you correct that?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

KanaaN Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't work on 2013 MBA but does for 2011 Air?

This cable has worked well with my wife's 2011 air for ouputing audio and video through our Onkyo receiver:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/KanaaN-Mini-...pr_product_top
However, I can't get it to work on my new 2013 Air. My Air's display will flash like other Air's do when you plug in a cable, or power on a receiver connected by cable to my Mac. But I can't see external speakers in System Prefs/Audio/Output. An no sound outputs.
Both my wife's Air and mine are Thunderbolt so can anyone think of a reason for why this would work on hers and not on my 2013 Haswell air?
Thanks.

Then unless there's some newer/different setup in 2011 13" MBP (if so, I'd look in Displays), it sounds like a hardware issue, either with the cable or the MBP.
I would contact AppleCare, as you are still in your three month free phone support, and one year hardware warranty.

I bought an itune and it doesn't show up under artest but does under album

I bought an itune and the songs went to my liberary but when I went to apply it to my ipod I could not find it under artist so then I tried to look for it under albums and found it and was able to apply it but I would like to know how I can get it or put in under artist also. It is the only itune I have bought that has done this. What can I do to correct this ?

Since updating my Mac to 10.8.4 any external hard disk doesn't show on Finder sidebar (but shows on desktop). Anyone else have the same problem?

Since updating my Mac to 10.8.4 any external hard disk doesn't show on Finder sidebar (but shows on desktop). Anyone else have the same problem?
It's annoying because now I can't use Finder sidebar for drag and drop to thumb drive etc.
Thanks for your thoughts and help!

Hi Barney-15E,
Thanks for your reply and suggestions!
It is set to show on the sidebar in Finder prefs and I tried toggling the setting multiple times but it didn't fix anything.
I went into Preferences (I'm Administrator) but the strange thing is I don't see com.apple.sidebarlists.plist anywhere in the folder. Not sure what that means..

ATV doesn't show iTunes playlists and doesn't play them using the Remote app

Hello
Using ATV3 with the latest software version and it is connected to the iTunes library (also latest version) on my Mac Mini.
When I go to Computers on the ATV I can see the content of the iTunes and am able to play both Music and Vidoes however I don't see the playlists on iTunes there. On the ATV configuration it is configured to Show playlists -> All but still no Playlists appearing at the top of my movie and TV show listings section.
When I connect to the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone and go to Computers there I do see the playlists but unable to play the ones with Vidoes just music.
Any ideas what would cause these problems...?

log into my library through more > computers where? on the Remote? This is exactly what i'm doing, I can see the content of my library there but I can't play movies from there.

TS2972 i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2,

i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2, i have spent insane amounts of money on the apple store buying movies and tv shows that i cannot watch anymore, and no there is no firewall on my laptop nor my router, so no port configuration is needed
i have read many articles for this problem but there is no solution, some say restart the router, others say uncheck the option to sync iphone over wi-fi, others suggest not hitting the "done" button after setting up homeshare on itunes, NONE of them work. My itunes library disappears from ym apple tv 2 after 5 minutes or so

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

All you can do is try restoring the device. If you are unable to you'll most likely have to get the iPod repaired.

FCP7 print to video doesn't work on one timeline but does on another., FCP7 print to video doesn't work on one timeline but does on another.

I have a project which I captured from .mov and want to print to video : dvd. The image shows on the monitor but does not work to capture. The other sequence that is open does run to capture. What's wrong and how do I fix it.
Thanks
BTW, we do this a lot!!! This glitch is new. And yes we have rendered the sequence.

Print to Video only works with some Sequence settings via Firewire to the recording device. Are your Sequence settings for both Sequences the same?

Table of Contents page numbers works for PDF but not for other formats

Hi,
I followed exactly was indicated here regarding creation of TOC.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T421739T481157.htm
The page numbers generated correctly for PDF but not for RTF, HTML and XLS.
(HTML and XLS are understandably not paginated in nature but why not in RTF?)
Tried to make the simplest example work, with 2 headings each on a separate page. Doesn't work on either MSWord 2003 or 2007.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kavipriya,
What is your email address? I have attached a file in Oracle Metalink, under SR 3-5172030861. named test_toc.rtf
You may use any xml because the template does not use any dynamic binding of values.
The template is basically 2 pages, the TOC in the 1st page. First TOC item (Heading 1) is in Page 1, and Second TOC item is in Page 2.
So the end result should be (PDF result from BI Publisher):
First TOC Item .................. 1
Second TOC Item ............. 2
But for RTF it outputs:
First TOC Item .................. 0
Second TOC Item ............. 0
And after doing Print Preview (once or twice)
First TOC Item .................. Error in Bookmark
Second TOC Item ............. Error in Bookmark
Hope this is detailed enough to illustrate the problem.
