Can't see Apple TV from iTunes

I have 2 Apple TV's at home.  Both have home-sharing activated.  Both are connected to my network router (wirelessly).  Neither can see my iTunes library.  On my home PC, I'm running iTunes 11.0.2.26.  I think the problem is that from the home PC, I don't see either of the A-TV's as choices, when I play a song.  It only plays on the PC - and doesn't show the graphic that represents A-TV as a destination choice.
Home Sharing is activated on the PC with my library.  As a side note - my iPod Touch, iPad, and my iPhones can all play - via Airplay to either of the A-TV's with no problem.  I also have the iTunes "App' called "Remote" loaded on my iPhones, iPod, and iPad.
Any idea why I don't see the A-TV's as options, when I play songs?  Shouldn't I be able to select those locations - from the PC; and shouldn't I see my iTunes library from either A-TV, with home-sharing activated?  When I select the "computer" from the A-TV, it doesn't show my library - just says to activate home-sharing (but that's already active).
Please advise -- thanks!

Also note - I just checked my Windows Firewall settings and iTunes is an "allowed" application.  I'm running Win 7.
Thanks.

  • Can't see purchased movies from itunes on iPad

    I can't see the movies I purchased on my iPad. I sync them from itunes. They are on the ipad based on the hard drive space used. But when I tap the ipod icon, I can't see movies or video on the bottom of screen or on the left hand side that would point to the movies.
    Any help?

    +If you did download them to your iPad, restart your iPad or try a hard reset.+
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, find your app, and tap the icon to relaunch.
    Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch the Videos again and see If the movies are showing.
    +If they were downloaded to your computer in iTunes, then do as Philly suggests, sync your iPad to your computer.+
    Connect your iPad to the computer, launch iTunes, select your device on the left side in iTunes, click on movies at the top of iTunes, click sync movies, click on the movies that you want to put on the iPad, click apply in the lower right corner in iTunes, then click sync. That will put the movies on your iPad. Open the Videos app and you are good to go.

  • I can't see some podcasts from iTunes to delete them!

    I just got my "5G+" iPod yesterday. All the podcasts that were in iTunes copied over fine. However, podcasts I had copied out of iTunes (because I didn’t have an iPod for a while) and then dragged back on to the iPod don’t show up in the iPod’s Podcast menu-you have to select Podcast as a genre.
    That’s not too big of a deal, as in the future I won’t be copying anything out of iTunes prior to transferring it to my iPod.
    The REAL problem is that now iTunes can’t see those “rogue” podcasts on my iPod! They don’t show up under “Podcasts”, and they don’t show up under “Music”!
    As near as I can tell, I have no way to delete those podcasts from my iPod!
    Any suggestions?

    iMeowbot on Macrumors came up with a great way to at least SEE the 'rogue' Podcasts-create a smart playlist and set Podcast = true.
    Unfortunatly, you can't delete items from a smart playlist, so I still can't get rid of the 'rogue' podcasts.
    For now I'm planning on listening to the rest of the podcasts on my iPod, and then doing a wipe and starting over with it, as there dosen't seem to be any alternative.
    I'm pretty surprised to see a bug this major in Apple software!

  • Can't see Apple tv on iTunes

    I have an Apple Tv.The first time it work all very well! Now, every time I switch on iTunes its don't see AppleTv!Imean it work, if I use Air Tunes It works!I see they they connecting on...but It DON'T appear on the lateral bar!!!Why??I've already do everything is possible!!Plug!Unplug!Restart!Everything!!!

    I'm having the same problem, and suspect it is due to the latest update to iTunes (8.1.1[10]). My router sees the ATV, and I can access trailers from the ATV, so it is connected to my local network and to the Internet. I've tried all the suggestions in Apple's Support help file (TS1453), including restarting the computer and resetting the ATV w/o success. I did have iTunes and ATV synced on my old computer, but killing that didn't help. Now I can't see it from the old computer either, and of course all my music and movies are gone from the ATV.

  • Can't see movie downloaded from iTunes on iPads

    Hi. I purchased two movies from iTunes via AppleTV, then downloaded them to my iTunes library. I can see and play them on my computer, but they don't show up in the "shared" tab of the Videos app on either of our two iPads. I've tried force-quitting and restarting the Videos app, turning the iPad on and off, and resetting the iPad; I've quit and restarted iTunes on the computer. Nothing has helped.
    All the other movies in the library appear, including others I've purchased and downloaded from iTunes, but not the ones I downloaded today.
    Running OS X 10.8.1, iTunes 10.6.3, and iOS 5.1.1.
    Help?

    Ah. iPad 2 can't play 1080p content. Got it. Sorry for the noise.

  • Can't see Apple HD from XP after bootcamp install

    Hello,
    I've just installed XP home edition using boot camp. I used a 35gig partition Fat32. If I'm in Leopard, I can see the XP partition. If I'm in XP, I can't see the apple partition. I have the apple partition set up as shared. Is there a way to view both so while working in XP, I can save files to the apple HD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Paul

    pspmhofer:
    You are not able to read/write to the OSx partition from Windows because the OSx partition is formatted in HFS and therefore Windows cannot access it.
    To be able to gain access to the OSx partition from Windows and retain the ability to read and write, you will need to download and install [Macdrive|http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive>. It is not free and the pricing information in on the link above.

  • I can't see my music from iTunes in iMovie?!

    I am trying to put music I purchased from iTunes into something I made on iMovie and it just says when I select iTunes, "The Contents of your iTunes library will appear here." I have tried everything, dragging and dropping music onto my desktop, trying to import manually, but then it tells me that it cannot import the media in that folder ("iTunes Library"). Please help!

    I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
    I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

  • HT1206 Can't see tv show from iTunes

    I downloaded a tv show on my pc using iTunes.  It will not display on my ipad1.  Had the same problem with the music but finally found a More tab under music that turned on syncing to the iPad.  Haven't found any like that for ate show.  Any ideas?

    Found it!!!  In the purchased or download tab it kept saying all all my music was there. Then I finally noticed in the upper left corner was a tab labeled as Music.  I clicked on that and got more choices, including tv shows.  Once I clicked on that, my show showed up.  It has taken days to figure this out.  Before the iCloud, I did not have these problems, what a pain.

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Bonjour preventing me from seeing Apple TV in iTunes...

    I recently upgraded to the latest version of iTunes, 9.1 for Windows XP. Everything was working great but since that download, I can no longer see Apple TV within iTunes. When I go to preferences in iTunes and then Apple TV, it says that "Bonjour has been disabled and is required to connect Apple TV. Please re-enable to use this service". The problem is that I have no idea how it got disabled to begin with. I went into the control panel and uninstalled Bonjour and then reinstalled it from the Apple site but no luck. When I go into My Computer and go to Bonjour Service Properties, it shows that it's set to automatic but that it's Stopped. When I hit "Start", I get a message saying "Windows couldn't start Bonjour on Local Computer. For more information review the Systems Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft product, contact the service vendor and refer to service specific error code 10014".
    Thanks for any help!

    I finally figured this out. I initially thought it was due to the latest version of iTunes (9.1) but it was actually the 2.0 version of Bonjour causing he problems. Once I uninstalled Bonjour and then re-installed an older 1.0 version, all was well again.
