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.

I have a simelar problem. My wife had an ipod mini which was synced to itunes, I brought her a 4GB ipod nano yesterday and I told her just plug it into the computer and then it will have auto instructions.
Actually what happens is nothing, I plug it in and it charges, nothing else. I have uninstalled itunes and downloaded it again but it still has my mums ipod mini songs on there.
basically the ipod does not seem to sync with itunes...any help will be appriciated.

Ipod not showing in Itunes and Windows 7

The Fix
I uninstalled everything that was Apple related and reinstalled Itunes with no loss to my data.
Once reinstalled, both the ipod is now showing in itunes and everything is working fine now.
I hope this helps anyone else out with the same problem of an ipod not charging, not showing in Windows 7 and not showing in itunes.

Glad that it works but if you read the threads, usually that is tried and suggested/recommended, of course, but fails to solve the problems.
Also, Devices and Printers is a good place to start and look there to even see if Widnows detects iPod but also has an error exclamation and "error."
I'll say this, Apple Safari and iTunes and iPod support software, can be the most buggy sofware I use on Windows with more problems and issues. Shame.
Tried to or accidently pluged iPod Touch 4G into one of my other PCs and had issue when I brought it back over. Use of inferior quality 3rd party cable might also be blamed.
iTunes video playback, movies and music video, would hang, freeze, go into a "wait chain" (better with Windows 8 Dev Preview, but that is PRE-BETA!).
Apple Common Support Software issues, which 2.0 version can be a problem. Used by iTunes and Safari. Seems like iTunes was better before installing Safari. Two PCs and they are almost 200% identical as can be, but Safari would hang.
May need to remove Apple folders in AppData (move to safe place) if there is a problem there.

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

My ipod will charge but does not show in itunes or windows

I tried to use my ipod as a disk to transfer my itunes library from my desktop to my notebook (both Dell), now my ipod charges, but does not show up in itunes or on either of my computers. I have used the advice of going to control panel and unchecking the box under power management but that didn't work, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE HELP ME?
I have windows xp on one and vista on the other, if that helps.

This worked for me, don't know if it will for you. Have ITunes open. While IPod is connected to computer press(at the same time) the menu and center buttons until your screen goes black and shows the apple icon then immediately press the forward button. Your IPod should show up. It won't hurt to try it, even if it doesn't work. Hope this is of some help to you.

IPod Classic not showing in iTunes or Windows

I received a new iPod 80GB Classic for Christmas today, but I'm having trouble getting it to work with iTunes. I've plugged it into the USB port, but all that happens is that it starts charging but doesn't show in My Computer or iTunes.
Before I got this new iPod I was using a 2GB iPod Nano, could it be because I was syncing a particular iPod with iTunes before I got this new iPod? Or do I have to do something like charge the iPod completely before connecting it to the USB port?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DESPERATE! IPOD NOT SHOWING IN ITUNES WITH WINDOWS VISTA.

I recently bought a new Dell Dimension E520 which came with windows vista pre installed. I seem to be one of many people having problems with it!
Newest version of Itunes (7.1) is installed and working fine. When I plug my IPOD nano in however nothing happens. It is visible in the device manager on my PC but doesn't show in itunes.
I've been to the apple store and they said that the new itunes should fix the problem but it hasn't. they've checked my nano and it is fully up to date.
I know it is a driver problem but i have absolutely no idea what i'm looking for when i go to the support section on this website!
the reason I bought a new PC was that my old computer wouldn't download the new itunes and therefore i couldn't access the store or any songs bought from the store on my nano (plus it was 14 years old). it did however actually recognise my IPOD!
It's been nearly 6 months since i've been able to update my ipod with songs and i'm getting desperate!!!! please can anyone help??

iTunes does not yet support Windows Vista. There are numerous problems running iTunes on it. The latest release of iTuens 7.1 fixed some of them but not all.

IPhone 4 does not show in iTunes on Windows

Complicated one here for everyone, I got my sister a Windows XP Pro on a Dell laptop (here in refered to as Dell) for Christmas. She wants to use Dell to sync her iPhone 4 running 4.2.8 but when she plugs it in it is only detected as an image device, but not in iTunes. Here are some details about what has been done so far.
Computers in use and short names:
my computer: MacBook Pro X.7.3.11D36 Dev (Macbook)
iTunes 10.5.2 (MacTunes)
attached to my itunes account
running as admin
her computer: Windows XP Pro on Dell (Dell)
Started with iTunes 10.4.? updated to:
iTunes 10.5.1 (downloaded this evening)(DellTunes)
attached to sister's itunes account
running as admin
When given to sister, could not import itunes libary from old windows xp computer to this one, so libary is fresh, music from the old itunes music folder
family computer: iMac X.7.3.? (FamilyMac)
iTunes 10.5.? (familyTunes)
attached to sister's itunes account
running as limited w/parental controls
Device info and short names:
her cell: iPhone 4 Verizon running 4.2.8 (here in called 4)initiallized and formated from FamilyMac
my current cell: iPhone 4s Verizon running 5.0.1 (4s)initilized and formated on Macbook
my old cell: iPhone 3g ATT running 4.2.1 or 2 (3g)initilized and formated on Macbook
Who works where:
4,4s,3g all initialized and last synced on FamilyMac, Macbook, Macbook respectivly
4,4s,3g all detect as normal on MacTunes
4,4s do NOT detect as normal on DellTunesDoes appear as an image device on Dell. software built into XP, much like image capture on Mac
3g DOES detect as and has been backed up to DellTunes
Following attempts have been tried and failed
plugged in 4 into Dell
disabled auto launch of image device software on Dell for 4
replugged in 4
plugged 4 into Macbook, showed up as normally expected
plugged 4s into Dell, does not show in DellTunes, does auto open image device software
downloaded and installed latest iTunes for Windows XP
plugged 4 and 4s into Dell, same results as before (steps 1,2,5)
ran itunes diagnostics, all settings reported fine except for detecting plugged in ipod/iphone
manually disabled and reabled ipod support service as stated in the help document linked to in 8
replugged 4 into Dell, same results as before
set msconfig to all off except for anything itunes related. applyed to both services and startup programs
repeat steps 7-10
plugged 3g into Dell, shows in Delltunes as normally expected
backed up 3g to Delltunes to conferm data would transpher. backup susessful.
removed 3g and replugged 4 into Dell, 4 gave same results as before (steps 1,2,5)
set msconfig to normal mode
replugged 3g into Dell, looked in device manager, shows under image devices and USB devices. Under USB devices shows as Apple moble device
switched to 4, looked again in device manager, only shows under image devices
gave up for the night and posted this
*note many times steps would be repeated a few times under both sister's account and admin's account on Dell, as well as a few reboots.
The confusing part is that the 3g works fine but not 4 or 4s. I would understand if itunes was older than that cellphone version but iTunes is as recent as possible. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong and what would fix it?

Follow ALL of the troubleshooting steps in the article from which the question was posted.

Ipod not showing in itunes or windows/my computer

I have a brand new 80 GB ipod classic and have the latest version of itunes but cannot get it to work.
It does not show up in itunes or my computer. I have tried everything in this list:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
But nothing has worked. My partners ipod works fine on this computer.
Does anybody have any suggestions

I had 80 GB ipod before and it used to work fine , then last week I upgraded from 80GB to 160GB video classic and also i updated itunes to 7.4.1 , the first 2 days it was working excellent and on sunday morning my laptop did not recognise it , neither did itunes. It was unable to detect it . I was frustrated , so on monday i thought lets try on my office pc , also office pc did not detect. Then I did a hard boot of my ipod by pressing center button and Menu button simultaneously for few seconds and the apple logo comes and after that the menu comes , then i plugged in the ipod to my pc and now it detects as a drive. My office pc doesnot have itunes so i could not check wether Itunes detect it or not. I will check today evening that. but atleast now its detecting as a drive . I guess there is a serious problem in Ipod classic , also I found one other intresting problem. My previous 80 gig ipod was to work as a charm on my laptop external 2.0 USB device , but this 160GB classic doesnt work on external 2.0 USB device , I have to plug to my 1.1 USB port on my laptop which is very disappointing. My external 2.0 USB device shows error saying APPLE USB DRIVER NOT Found. I seriously know this is problem from ipod classic. Since my preious 80GB use to work like charm. I guess I have to update my laptop now.

Iphone will not show in itunes on windows 8

I installed windows 8 operating system and itunes works, however, my iphone will not appear in itunes. How do we fix this?

iTunes does not yet support Windows 8, so there may not be a fix until such time as Apple releases a version of iTunes that does support 8. You can search this forum for "windows 8", though, and perhaps you'll find a suggestion in one of the other threads on the issue.
Regards.

HT3819 Airplay icon not showing in iTunes on Windows 7

I recently installed a USB wireless connection to my desktop so I could have a wireless connection to iTunes and use Airplay. At firdt it worked great but now the Airplay icon does not display and I can not seem to get it back. I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and it works on my iPad mini and iPhone 5. I have tried several of the suggested fixes including removing and reinstalling iTunes 11. All to no avail. Any suggestions?

Temporarily disable any security software on the computer.

Iphone 4 makes an continuous intermittent vibration/buzzing sound when plugged into any of computer's 3 usb ports; does not show in itunes or Windows Vista device manager. No problem charging the phone with other power sources. What's going on?

This problem happened intermittently in the past but now happens every time I plug in the phone. I suspect it might be a problem with my computer, an Acer Aspire 4530, perhaps with it's charging function via usb ports? The phone makes the same buzzing sound twice when I connect to other power sources, but continues when connected to computer. I have this issue even when the phone is 100% charged.
