ATV first gen not streaming with computer.

I cant get my atv to stream video with my mac. On atv i go to 'computers' then 'add shared library'. It gives me the code but then there is nowhere to imput the code on itunes. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

If you're saying tht iTunes is already configured to sync with the 1st gen unit then you do not need to (and cannot) set it up as a Shared library.
Basically the sync library, also streams any content that is not synced to the AppleTV.
If this is not happening, and the AppleTV is currently listed as a sync device under Devices in iTunes, then select thisdevice entry and in the summary tab look for 'Show only synced items' or similar and make sure it's not checked - if checked you only see what's on the AppleTV hard drive, but if unchecked which it should be by default, then anything not on AppleTV hard drive will stream PROVIDED iTunes is running and the media is compatible. In the main iTunes categories if checkboxes are unchecked against individual media filesthey will not be made available to AppleTV.

YouTube not working on atv first gen

YouTube videos on my atv first gen is not working just recently. Before it never had any problems, I could log in into my account, search videos and when I select to watch, nothing happens. Tried restoring to factory settings and all the usual troubleshooting and no success. My guess is something related to apple. Any suggestions to find a solution?

It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

Will my first gen macbook work with ipad 2's face time?

will my first gen macbook work with ipad 2's face time?

As an update, I bought the WNDR3400v2 router and am supremely disappointed with its lack of power - but - the Lenovo W510 DOES work perfectly fine connecting to both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios.
The problem is the signal strength only twenty feet away up one floor is dismal (as compared to what it was with the ancient Linksys WRT54G for example).
What bothers me is that Netgear goes to great lengths to hide the power output of the radio so I 'suspect' that it is anemic and I don't (yet anyway) suspect the radio on the W510 laptop. Netgear support would only tell me the EIRP at 2.4GHz is 20dBm, and at 5GHz it's double that. So I can only assume the power output from that. If I assume a 5dBi antenna gain for both frequencies, that results in a power output guesstimate of 15dBm (32mW) at 2.4GHz and double that at, i.e., 18dBm or 64mW, at 5GHz.
The other side of the equation, of course, is the power & gain of the W510 radio & antenna.
Do we have specs for the W510 power output & antenna gain (e.g., a typical laptop is about 50mW (roughly 15 to 18 dBm) pushed into an antenna with a gain of about 1/2 dBi to about 1 dBi at best, regardless of what the specification sheet intimates)?

Phone Pass Code locked and will not sync with computer. Back up and restore with itunes

Bummer because now you can not back up. But you can put the device in recovery mode and have itunes restore it. Turn the device off while the device is off hold down the home button while holding the home button down connect the cable to the phone and keep holding home button until you see itunes logo and cable image on the on the phone. Itunes will say its discovered a device in recovery mode click ok and click restore.

ATV second gen not seeing iTunes Match

Home sharng, iTunes match and all other related settings are correct, but I cannot see my iTunes match music on ATV. It sees only the music actually saved on local computer. iPhone and iPad see and play all my music. On the computer in iTunes, I can select iTunes match music and ATV speaker and it streams the sound to ATV, and album cover is displayed. Have tried resetting ATV, re-installing iTunes, resetting router and computer, turning off and back on homesharing and iTunes match. all to no avail.
Okay, I wanted to try one last thing to try and fix this, and it did. Here is how, for others who might have the same problem:
1. On ATV main screen select the music icon.
2. On upper row of options,select "My Music". ATV gives message that its setting up the library. Voila!
This is not mentioned in all the docmentation I have read.
Hope this may help someone,
Pete

Match is visible on the MBP. I have gone through the discussion thread you linked, thanks.
After I cleared the Match cache on the MBP, thought that was doing the trick, as it took a long time (several hours) to complete the update of Match, but after it completed I was still only shown the music that resides on the MBP and nothing from the cloud.
On the MBP, all the songs are showing as 'Waiting' in iTunes Match status - this includes songs which I had previously transferred to the MBP through Home Sharing prior to signing up with Match.
So it seems to me that for some reason the MBP is just not connecting with the cloud...
Thanks for your help so far.

IPad first gen not turning on!

Hello, please help me!! My iPad first gen isn't turning on!! It's just a black screen. Tried resetting it and tried dfu mode but nothing!! When I plug it in to charge then the screen keeps flashing on and off, no apple logo just a black screen lighting up and switching off immediately and looping again. When I plug it out of charge then its completely unresponsive!! Not even lighting up!! Tried whacking it near the headphone jack but still not working... Is there a problem with the battery? Or the screen. I've never dropped it ever. Itunes doesn't recognise it at all. Do I have to replace the battery or something? I really need help so please help me!! I'm going crazy!!
thank you soo much

I went to to apple to fix it and they said it's the batteries problem so they did something and now instead of a black screen it has an apple logo!! It's progress!! But they said the battery is gone bad so I have to change it but apple is not allowed to do that so I'm guessing I have to do it myself... Oh well, thank you for your help!!

White screen, not syncing with computer- tried holding buttons please help?

Please help. The screen of my daughters 4th gen ipod has frozen white. Have tried syncing the frozen ipod with computer but it is not recognised. I have treid holding home and sleep button at the same time but no change. Would be prepared to do a reset but the computer cannot recognise it. Have read various other responses to questions and am currently leaving the batteries to drain. None of this is helped by the fact that my daughter is sobbing about it in my ear! Ahhhhh

Transfer Music from iPhone, iPod, or iPad to iTunes on a Mac for Free
This process will copy all music from the device to a computer or Windows PC:
1.Turn off automatic syncing in iTunes, do this through iTunes Preferences > Devices > check “Prevent iOS hardware from syncing automatically”, then quit iTunes
2.Download Coolmuster iPhone iPad iPod to Mac transfer and install it
3.Connect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod to the Mac by USB
4.Launch iExplorer and click the arrow next to the iOS devices name, then click the arrow next to “Media” and then again next to “iTunes_Control”
5.Drag the entire “Music” folder to a location on the desktop, this is all of your music and it may take a while to transfer
6.Quit iExplorer when finished
When finished all music will have been successfully copied from the iOS device to the Mac or PC, all while maintaining the music stored on the iPod/iPhone as well.

I have ATV first gen

I have an ATV first generation & since the Fall/Jan of this year the speed to download a movie has gone from 10 mins to 2-3 hours, but usually takes 1 hr. I did everything that people suggested; restarted, did all the updates for my iMac, iTunes, & ATV, factory reset, unplugged the ATV, it's on the right network, it is listed under Devices in iTunes, but still takes an hour. I went to Apple Store and they could only suggest it has to do with it being First Gen. Anyone else having this issue with any of the ATV's? Any suggestions? Oh, my internet hasn't changed either so count that out too. Also the power light doesn't come on anymore either, but everything works. Strange.

The power lights tend to fade on these models, all mine have become quite faint.
How do you know your internet hasn't changed, can you be sure your ISP hasn't introduced some sort of filtering, and what about your internal network could there be a new network in the vicinity that is now interfering with yours.
