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.

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

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 transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

Ipad 2 does not show in itunes

My ipad 2 was completely dead last night so I plugged it in to charge using the 10W wall charger that came with it and noticed that it did not vibrate when I plugged it in nor did it show the lightning bolt showing it was charging. I left it alone from a few hours and when I checked, it was up to 12%. Normally a few hours will almost fully charge it. I swapped out a few different cables, chargers, and even plugged it into my mac USB, and none of them vibrated and showed the lightning bolt. When I plug it into my Mac, it does not show in iTunes at all under devices. I plugged in my iPhone and iPod and both showed instantly. I decided to leave the paid charge overnight on the wall charger to see what would happen.
This morning it was up to 53%. I updated the iPad 2 software to iOS 5.1.1, updated iTunes to 10.6.1, updated all software on my Mac (I have OS X 10.6.8) and still doesnt show in iTunes and none of the chargers or cables make it vibrate when plugged in and none show the charging bolt. I deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver and then reinstalled thinking perhaps the mobile device driver was messed up - didnt help.
On the iPad 2, I went to settings/general/reset/reset network settings - no help.
Of course, throughout this I have reset my Mac several times, reset the iPad both by sliding the bar to shut down and by holding down the reset button & home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, and as stated above tried several wall chargers and USB cables that works on my other i products. So I do not think its something obvious like that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8
ITunes 10.6.1

Let me know when you figure this out. I am experiencing the exact same situation. Just started this morning after I switched my mobileme account to icloud. I can see my iphone in itunes, but when I plug my ipad in, nothing. Not on any computer. I have always been able to sync and charge with no trouble. Now my ipad is slowly turning in to a door stop.
Help!
Thank you!

Did you try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Next try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

On an iPod Nano 2G, the iPod will not show in iTunes

Using an iPod Nano 2 G, when I plug it into a Mac, the iPod will not show in iTunes. The iPod will charge, but will not sync. This happens across multiple Mac's, so the issue seems to be the Nano, not the computer(s). The iPod will actually show for about 2 seconds in the left sidebar, then it disappears. Any suggestions about how to either fix this, or maybe how to restore the iPod's software. The iPod otherwise seems to be working correctly, i.e. will play music, etc. we have tried switching ports, cables and computers, same results.

Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Do other USB devices work on the computer/USB port??

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button
