ATV not showing in iTunes devices

Just bought my friends ATV - was working ok with his sysytem - he has done a factory restore - to V1 - i have updated to V
When I select iTunes/Preferences/Devices the ATV is not shown.
I am connected by ethernet and have also setup to connect to my Airport extreme based network - the network is recognised and i can connect to my iTunes account and i can access movie trailers, podcasts etc.
I currently stream music to 2 Airport Express's with no problems.
The ATV showsup in the 'remote speakers dialogue in iTunes.
1 of my iTunes playlists shows up on the ATV with 0songs!
Whilst streaming from the iMac i have been able to get the current track playing displayed on my TV - i don't no how?
I have run a further factory restore and upgraded gain to v3
I have run the Diagnostic test - the ATV is working normal.
I have tried to access the ATV from my other iMac - G4800MHZ does not show up.
I am using Itunes 9.02 on an iMac IntelCore Duo 2.16ghz with 10.5.8 my iTunes library is held on a Lacie USB drive.
I have tried connecting the ATV direct to the iMac's ethernet port - still does not show-up in iTunes.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for your response,
I can now understand that my ethernet cable is wrong - but why cannot i connect via the Airport Network - clearly the iMac can See the ATV - it shows up in 'Remote Speakers".
Regarding the ports, i see the article says...
These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router.
... everything else in iTunes works OK.
But how would i go about checking that each port is open etc
I am using a netgear router.
Incidently, i have also downloaded iTunes to a Win7 laptop and still iTunes does not show?
Thanks
IAn

  • ATV not showing up under devices in iTunes

    I have synced this ATV with this Macbook in the past.
    I am able to play music from my Macbook thru my ATV by selecting the ATV speakers instead of the Macbook's speakers.
    I can play movie trailers on the ATV.
    In iTunes>Preferences>ATV my ATV shows up and says it is syncing
    I have updated my ATV and iTunes software.
    However, it does not show as syncing on the home screen of iTunes and does not show up under devices on the left side. Any ideas?

    It's not supposed to and never has.
    Do you mean you cannot see it when you select the AirPlay icon?
    Make sure you enable Home Sharing on the AppleTV and iTunes using the same AppleID.
    Reset and or /power off/on your router.

  • IPad does not show in iTunes devices

    I wanted to install iOS 4.2 but cannot get my iPad recognized on iTunes.
    When I plugged the iPad into the MBP I get an OK tone as usual.
    It has been connected successfully in the past.
    I have restarted both my MacBook Pro and iTunes in different orders.
    My AppleTV shows up on devices every time.

    I have tried everything and still iTunes will not recognize the iPad. From the other complaints it seems this is a big problem for many of us.
    My problems started when the iTunes v10 was introduced. I still use 9.2.1. I am waiting because I have an AppleTV1 and wanted to see how it effects others with the first version. I really like my older AppleTV and have many items loaded.

  • Atv not showing in iTunes

    I have been using an apple tv 1st generation with no problems but suddenly I cant find it in itunes? I can select the atv as my speaker but it is not in the left hand menu. I dont know how to add photos for Christmas?
    I have rebooted everything. All my software is the latest. I dont have any network problems.
    The only recent change I can think of is that itunes match is still running

    Thats great thanks.
    I have created folders within itunes and iphoto so I can resync faster if it happens again.
    Thanks for your help.

    I keep fixing this problem and it keeps returning. It happened to ipod touch also.  Batteries are charged.  10.2.2.14 itunes

    It may have something to do with a conflict with any antivirus or security software that you may be running. I don't know if you've read this, but here is Apple's support article for Windows. You say you keep fixing the problem - I assume you mean by reinstalling iTunes?

    Does it say that it works with iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone)? iOS devices have a different format/file system than other iPods.

    Apple tv not showing up in devices on itunes.  Content gone from the apple tv and I'm not sure how to sync.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Re-pair your library with iTunes.
    Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
    Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.

  • My iPhone is not showing as a device  in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but still not showinh

    I am unable to see my iPhone in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but it still will not show. Under devices it is not listed. Any suggestions?

    You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
    If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.
