Can find AppleTV in iTunes

Help please!
AppleTV is connected to network (can see Movie Trailers and YouTube) and Mac is also connected to the same network (internet is working).
Somehow, can find AppleTV in iTunes.
Can someone please kindly help? Thanks a lot.

I had the same problem. The machine was simple to set up, but not in trying to figure out why it couldn't find my wireless network (Dlink) and then not showing up in iTunes after the wireless found it. So...
1. Apparently the ATV cannot use WEP security. I changed mine to WPA. After a reset on the router, the Apple TV showed up with routing info. At the TV, the ATV showed it could find my wireless and connect. So far so good...
2. Now iTunes couldn't see the Apple TV. It never showed up as simply as the book described it. After a quick look at the preference settings on iTunes, I checked the box under Apple TV to allow iTunes to search for the unit. Nothing. I shut down iTunes, powered down the ATV (hold Play button for 6 seconds) then started everything up again. This time the ATV showed up in iTunes. Then it was a simple matter to sync the two units.
As great as I find Apple's units to be and the software a joy to use, the books are often WEAK in setup instructions. Some difficulty was related to the network, but the book could have been clearer about the WEP information. Just have to think clearly from "there to here" and what can be happening in between. Hope this helps!
