ATV2, iMac, Windows 7 Laptop, Iphone and iTouch Connectivity

Hi all,
I am frustrated as ****. Here's the deal.
I am running an Airport Extreme basestation (AEB) home wireless network with full connectivity from all devices to the outside world. I have my main iTunes (10.1.2) library on my iMac (OSx 10.6.6) and my son has an iTunes (10.1.2) library on his Windows 7 laptop. I have home sharing enabled on the iMac, ATV2 and Win7 Laptop all using the same Apple_ID.
My iPhone 4 and Itouch Remote Apps (home sharing also turned on) will both connect to the ATV2 and to the Win7 iTunes library. However, while both see the library on the iMac they will not connect to it. I can also stream from the iPhone and iTouch over Airtunes to the AVT2.
My ATV2 will see both the iMac Library and the Win7 library but will only physically connect to the Win 7 library.
My Win 7 library can see the iMac library but won't connect to it, similar to the iPhone, iTouch and ATV2.
My iMac library can't see the Win7 library at all. However I can connect my iMac to the windows laptop for simple file transfer between the iMac and the windows laptop and I can also play music from the iMac library over Airtunes to the ATV2.
With all this connectivity going on I am at a loss as to why iPhone, ATV2, iTouch and Win 7 Laptop can all see the iMac library but won't make the connection to it when each one of those devices all work together perfectly fine and all devices are on the same AEB wireless network.
This must be something very small on the iMac/Itunes side?
Help Please......

Hi,
No, Windows 7 Started edition only support USB connection. any network connection with your HP device is not supported  due to limitations of the operating system:
For Windows XP Starter Edition, Windows Vista Starter Edition and Windows 7 Starter Edition

  • I can not join the my home WIFI network. I have iPhone and iTouch connected as well as my windows laptop. I have trie power on rese, and network reset

    I can not join the my home WIFI network. I have iPhone and iTouch connected as well as my windows laptop. I have trie power on rese, and network reset. What do I do next?

    This is something else you can try.
    Go to Settings>WiFi>Your Network Name (tap the blue arrow)>Forget this Network. Reboot your iPad, hold down on the sleep button at the top for a couple of seconds until the red slider appears, slide to shut down. Then press the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button and the iPad will restart. Try to join your network again.

  • My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them?  Any idea why?

    My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them?  Any idea why or how to fix this?

    Did You upgrade iOS on the iPhone and ITouch?
    It might be that you now need a new version of iTunes for the new version of iOS.
    I am guessing here because you did tell us very much to go on.

    When you connect your iPad or iPod to the Mac, click on the device name in iTunes - don't click on the arrow on the device. Then click on the Music tab in the main window pane. Now you should see 'Sync Music' and all your playlists, artists and albums. Here you mark the checkboxes for what should be synced.

  • Best Practice for update to iPhone and iTouch

    OK, when 3.0 comes down the pike, what is the best way to get 3.0 as a "clean" install? Currently 2.2.1 is on both. If I do a restore, will the system only pick up 3.0 or will it see 2.2.1 which is currently on the hard drive? With that in mind, how can I delete the 2.2.1 version of the iPhone and iTouch software? Sorry for two question in one post.
    Steve H

    When firmware update 2.0 was released, the entire iPhone was eraseed first including the existing firmware - just as when restoring an iPhone with iTunes, followed by 2.0 being installed, which was followed by the iPhone's backup being transferred to the iPhone.
    The same may apply with firmware update 3.0 with your iPhone's backup being updated immediately before. If not, firmware version 2.2.1 will be updated with 3.0.
    If 2.2.1 is updated and you want a "clean" install of 3.0, you can follow the initial upgrade by restoring your iPhone with iTunes.

  • I've different contact info and mail addresses on pc(windows xp), iPhone and iPad, gmail. What is synchronized where, in which direction? Which unit will have to be correct before syncing?

    I've different contact info and mail addresses on my pc (windows xp), iPhone  and iPad, using gmail. I get different results when synchronizing with iTunes.
    What is synchronized where, and in which direction? Which unit will have to be correct before syncing?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

    You should also check the iCloud add in. Click the File menu. Then click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window. Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window. Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" make sure "iTunes Outlook add-in" and "iCloud Outlook Add-in" are selected.
    To add enable the add-ins, in the Manage box at the bottom of the Outlook Options window, select COM Add-Ins, and then click Go. In the COM Add-Ins dialog, navigate to the iCloud add in and and you should be able to enable them.
    Once you have the refresh button, the push connection is ON again

  • IPhone and iPad connected but not with iCloud??

    When I updated to iOS 6.1, I was asked if I wanted to connect all devices. My mistake was selecting yes!
    I have an iPhone and iPad I just got for Christmas; I was using the same email on both devices for iMessages but I hate receiving all messages on both devices.
    So, I tried to change my email for iMessages on the iPad but when I tried to delete my current email, I received a message that says I will no longer be able to receive emails on any device!
    How can I undo this? Please help!!

    If the process isn't finishing for you there's not a lot you can do to force it. Perhaps a visit to the nearest Genius Bar? I don't know. Sorry I can't offer more constructive advice.
    How long are you waiting on step 2? Depending on the size of your library and the speed of your internet it can take a few minutes, a few hours or even days.
