Can't get Apple TV to appear in itunes

I was using iOS 7 beta on my Apple TV. When I plugged it in today it said restore on iTunes. When I plugged into my computer I couldn't get it to show up in iTunes. What should I do now?

Can't get iphone 4 to appear in itunes

Hi All
I can't get my iphone 4 to appear on my intel iMac. OS is snow lepard and up to date as is iphone OS. I've followed the apple instructions for iphone not appearing in the devices list and have un and reinstalled itunes. Still no joy. ipod + ipod nano both appear. The phone charge from USB also.
Any answers.
cheers

Unfortunately no and the problem is back.
As I commented I've been through the whole process of trying differing USB ports on my mac, restarting and resetting the phone, restarting the computer and then uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. All as per instructions on the iphone support page. Despite all this the phone would still not show up on itunes.
I also tried several other macs and the phone still wouldn't show up.
I thought the problem had sorted itself out after yet another phone reset last night but it is happening again. At the moment the phone will occasionally appear and sync. The phone does however charge through every USB and on every computer I try.
Unless anyone else has any bright ideas I can only assume it's an intrinsic phone issue and I'll sen it back to apple for replacement.
cheers

Apple TV does not load rented items from iTunes in less than three (3) hours depsite YouTube, Netflix and network being fine. How can I get Apple to actually provide the iTunes service I am paying for?

I'm just tired of waiting on this inept device and it's underserved iTunes counterpart being unable to deliver enough bandwidth to load a show within a reasonable amount of time. I'm a big Apple fan and an equally big critic. This whole rig is a big FAIL so far, Apple. There is nothing ON DEMAND about the iTunes Store at this point. Netflix and YouTube work better on Apple TV than their own iTunes Store! And, this has been going on for a few years now, unremedied, and is only getting worse with more people buying these devices! I do not reccommend this device to people like I used to.
The good news is, that iTunes will give refunds about 85% of the time if I explain my problem the way I have here. SO, ATTENTION: EVERYONE WITH AN APPLE TV: If you have this same issue with iTunes Store not properly serving your paid content, do not hesitate to ask for your money back. It's the least they can do for the amount of life wasted waiting for a show to load. Not to mention, all the disappointments with the kids at bedtime and when my wife and I want to just relax and turn something on.
Bottom Line: ITUNES IS UNDER-SERVED!!!
OR
There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers. Is it possible the ISPs are somehow limiting or buffering the data packets coming through the port(s) employed by iTunes Store? Like I say, with me and many others on this forum, the problem lies solely with iTunes Store. Youtube, Netflix, Podcasts and everything else generally serve up just fine. The iTunes Store, however, is a consistent failure. Something that seems unusual for Apple not to address, being so customer-centric and all.
Please share any links or insights you have here so the faithful might get to the bottom of this incredibly annoying problem. I WANT MY ATV!

There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers.
Most networks are overloaded and operating at full capacity. However, a solution is coming.
Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed. Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.

Can't get apple tv to communicate with iTunes or any of my other apple devices.

I have an Apple TV, iPad, and a couple of iPhones and an iTunes account with the Home Sharing feature tuned "on". When I first connected my Apple TV to my network everything worked correctly, I could use the Remote application from each of my devices to control iTunes, I could mirror from my devices to the Apple TV using Airplay and had no problems with Home Sharing. However, after about a week of everything working perfectly it all stop working. Now I can't get any of my devices to communicate across my network and none of my devices can utilize Airplay, Remote app, or access iTunes via my wireless network. I spoke with an Apple customer service rep who told me that the router will monitor traffic from certiain ports and block them if it thinks that the traffic is coming from a perceived security threat. He suggested that I set up port forwarding in my router for the most commonly used ports by apple devices and software. So I followed his suggestion and made the following port forwarding settings:
Service Name
External Start Port
External End Port
Internal Start Port
Internal End Port
Internal IP address

By the way, my router is a Netgear WNDR3400. After making the port forwarding setting I still can't get any of my devices to work properly. My Apple TV will communicate with my desktop computer if I connect it to the router via a hard wired connection but it will not work via a wireless connection. Anytime I try to access the Remote application on any of my devices I get the message that says "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV. - I have checked multiple times to see that I have Home Sharing turned on and I can assure you that it is.
I am running the most up to date software versions on all of my Apple devices, iTunes, and my Netgear router.
Any help with this matter is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I am running Windows 7 and I have already gone into the firewall security setting and told it to allow all of the apple programs like bonjour and iTunes through.

Can't Get Apple Authorization to Play Purchased iTunes Songs

I purchased over 200 songs from iTunes on another computer and Apple ID. When I moved and got another PowerMac, I let my .Mac account expire and later I opened another .Mac account with the different Apple ID (the one I am currently using). When I try to play any of these many songs I get an error message saying that my computer is not authorized to play the sing. It lists my old Apple ID and password, but when I put them in another error message pops up saying that the Apple ID or Password was incorrect. Since I paid for all these songs and have not exceeded the allowable 5 computer for authorization, is there any way that I can get Apple to authorize these songs on my current Apple ID? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Take a look at the iTunes Store Password FAQ. That may provide some tips, and a form through which to contact the iTunes Store customer service group if you need further assistance.
Good luck.

Can't get CD playlists to appear in itunes for Shuffle

I've got a brand new 1st gen shuffle. When I load a
CD into my computer (Windows 2000), the playlist does
not appear in iTunes. What's going wrong?
You have to either "Import" the CD into iTunes' library or "Add" it to the library. THEN you can drag and drop the music onto teh Shuffle...

How can I get song titles to appear in iTunes library when transferring songs from iPod to iTunes ?

My old computer crashed. Trying to recover music from iPod. Can transfer music, but not song titles. Titles appear in 4letter mpg formats. What am I doing wrong?

Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

I can't get my iphone to appear under devices in itunes and i have followed the directions and support provided by apple-any suggestions?

I can't get my iphone to appear under devices within itunes, my iphone appears as my ipod under devices therefore I am unable to sync my music etc onto my iphone. any suggestions???

iPhone 4S and Windows XP the first thing that jumps to mind is that the iPhone 4S needs a USB 2.0 connection to sync with iTunes. Check your computers user guide to see if the PC has a compatable USB 2.0 input.

Oh nice, there's a PassKeeper application for the iPhone and iPad. Simply install it and it should talk you through steps, otherwise their website is probably a great place to check.

I really like the application 1Password, and it works across all the products, Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone.

Can I get Apple to block a brand new iPhone 5S?

I sold a brand new phone (still in its original box, unopened) on eBay only to find out the persons account was hacked. I have reported it to the police here in England, UK. Thing is I dont want the scammer to be able to use this phone and I want it blocked. Only issue is the phone was never taken out of its box and registered to any network here in England.
How can I get Apple to block the IMEI of the phone? I thought with IOS 7, Apple brought in new technology that allows it to track where each of their units are. Surely they can deactivate it.

Sorry, Apple can't help you, & Activation Lock only kicks in AFTER the phone is first activated, not before.
Sorry, but it appears the scammer got away free & clear, unless you can get a carrier to Blacklist the phone. Although that's doubful.

There is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.
