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
1
Apple Tv - iTunes - Bonjour
5353

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.

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • I upgraded to a 4G today from a 3G... how can I get my phone to sync with Itunes now

    I purchased a new phone today... how can I get my 4G to sync with my Itunes so my music and apps will transfer onto it.  Do I restore my back-up or set-up as a new phone (these are the two choices I am given)?

  • Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

    This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
    Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

    Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
    Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
    Backup its backup. Backup content.
    USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
    Have you had to restore the iPod?
    Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
    Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
    Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
    I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

  • How can I get iPhoto to share videos with iTunes automatically?

    When I take a video with my camera and upload to iphoto, is there any way that I can get the video to automatically copy into itunes? At the moment I have to open the video in quicktime and then 'share with itunes' for each individual video that i shoot.
    There must be a better way?

    iPhoto doesn't import anything unless you tell it to. All it's doing is offering to import. No you can't stop that window appearing. You'll just have to click cancel.
    iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    is the route to the developers for feature requests.

  • Can't get Bose Soundlink to work with iTunes 11

    I have a Bose Soundlink speaker that connects via bluetooth.  Prior to iTunes 11, the connection worked very well and reliably.  Then iTunes 11...
    Now,  I can get the bluetooth to pair with the Soundlink but the music won't play.  Click play, nothing.  Click pause, nothing.  Disconnect the Soundlink and the music starts playing through the computer speakers.  Re-connect the Soundlink, iTunes locks up again.  I've tried re-booting and powering off the Soundlink, manually re-connecting the bluetooth connection and still notta. 
    Any ideas much appreciated.
    Also, anyone else feel like iTunes 11 is way more resource intensive?  I'm constantly seeing the little rainbow swirl now when in iTunes as the computer bogs down.  I don't recall this being the case in iTunes 10.x.

    I should clarify that when trying to play music when connected to the Bose, the music does not play at all.  The song does not progress and the time on the song doesn't move.  Disconnect and the song immediately starts playing.  Re-connect and it stops, no audio but also no movement of the song itself. 
    Also, if I can play music on the Bose with my iPhone with no problem.

  • Can't get modbus library to communicate with Modbus RS 485 device

    Hi,
    I've been trying for a few days now to get the NI modbus library (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4756) to work with an Omega CN7500 temperature controller with not much luck.  
    It works with Omega's own software (using Modbus with a RS232 to RS485 converter) but I need to get it work with Labview for automation purposes and to integrate it with the rest of the system. 
    We configured it the same as we did for the Omega software (baud rate, parity bit, flow control, etc)
    Currently when we run it, the execution gets stuck at the MB Serial Master Query block and then we receive a timeout error. 
    Here's my program. 
    I'm new to using Labview so please bear with me if it's something obvious.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • HT1150 I have an iBook G4.  My epson stylus printer is not fixable so I went to Best Buy and bought an XP400.  It is all set up but I can't get  the printer to communicate with the computer.  Have tried everything I know and it won't work.  Any ideas?

    I have an iBook G4.  My epson stylus printer is not fixable so I went to Best buy and bought an XP 400 (Epson).  When I went to set it up it wouldn't talk to my computer.  So it looks great but won't print   After 2 days and many phone calls I am disgruntled to say the least.  Any  suggestions?

    I would imagine the drivers supplied with the printer will not be compatible with your existing operating system.
    Download the older drivers for your OS here, and then try the install again.

  • Can't get my iPod to work with iTunes

    I have an iPod Touch 2 generation, and had to recently restore it, after it had done that I turned it on after it had been reset and it has the picture saying connect to iTunes, when I click to go onto it in iTunes it keeps saying Accessing iTunes store at the top, but does that for ages. Then I get the message after about 2 or 3 minutes saying Network session has times out. I've tried the obvious; rebooting, changing leads and ports and my network connection is fine. But still no luck
    Any tops would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks, Harry

  • I can't get my iphone4 to sync with itunes on Windows XP. Can anyone help me?

    Is it not possible to do this on Windows XP? 
    I turned off my antivirus, and firewall. 
    I've tried authorizing my computer, but it just sits there and and tried to connect to itunes for hours and nothing happens. 
    It won't enable home sharing.
    It won't sync my phone saying "there is a problem syncing" this iphone.  (I read somewhere to make sure you had "sync phone turned on" but I've been unable to find that on my phone in itunes or under settings, or on itunes on my iphone. 
    I'm a novice to this, I'll admit, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. 
    I plug in the phone.  I tunes comes up automatically and starts running all by itself.  Step 1, step 2.  Then it wants to authorize my computer, and it won't go any further. 
    If I don't plug in the phone, turn it on, it doesn't work.  If I don't plug in the phone, THEN plug it in and try it, it doesn't work.  What am I doing wrong?
    Can anyone help me? 

    The iphone will sync itunes content and pics with one computer at a time.
    Sycning to another will erase the current content from the iphone.
    Copy everything (contacts/calendars/pics/files/docs/itunes content/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • HT204387 can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce?

    can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce? i would like to to stay with Apple iphone but if they dont improve the lack of features.. i will move on and I know im not the only person to think like this.
    regards

    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.

    Is that what Apple told you when you took your phone and usb cord to the store?
