First generation apple tv suddenly does not connect to iTunes

Three days ago my First Generation Apple TV suddenly stopped connecting to iTunes.  Anyone else having the issues?

That is weird. My Gen.1 Apple TV started to behave wonky a few days ago. It shows in the settings as being connected to iTunes, but I cannot access trailers, there are no settings to access iTunes in the menu either. It actually lost all of the local synced content and after a restart, everything copies over again. It is very sluggish and I have not tried to play a movie yet.
There appear to be a few threads on this, all within the last few days. I really like my old Gen.1 and want to keep it running. Help!

  • HT202778 Why is it that when I plug my iPhone into my computer and press "trust", it disconnects my phone and reconnects it, and still does not connect to iTunes??

    When I plug in my iPhone, it connects and begins to charge, then asks me to "trust" the computer. When I select "trust", rather than connecting to iTunes, my phone gets disconnected and then it reconnects again and continues to charge but does not connect to iTunes... I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and I've also tried connecting my phone with different USB cables and connecting them into different USB ports... Still nothing is working.

    That's how Apple set it up on the Mac.
    There is a free application called iExplorer for Mac that allows you to view and copy files from your iPhone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Since upgraded to 10.4.0.80, iTunes does not connect to iTunes Store

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 10.4.0.80, and since then iTunes does not connect to iTunes Store anymore. There is no error message, the window is just completly empty.

    I'm having the exact same issues regarding not being able to connect to the iTunes Store. Running Windows 7.
    Additionally, my iPhone 3GS (32GB) and iPad 2 (64GB) will not sync when attempting to perform a full system restore.
    Also running ESET Antivirus software. I tried the following from Apple Support and neither worked:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN760
    I completely uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 10.4.0.80 and zeroed out IOS 4.3.5 on each device.
    Additionally, I went to Control Panels > Administrative Tools > Services and stopped and restarted "Apple Mobile Device" and "Bonjour Service".
    NOTHING WORKED ... STILL NOT ABLE TO SYNC.
    I AM HAVING REAL DOUBTS ABOUT PURCHASING THE iPHONE 5 IF THIS SYNCING ISSUE PERSISTS !!!

  • Iphone 4s does not connect to itunes

    Hi
    My iphone 4s with ios 7.0.4 suddenly is not recognised by itunes (v11.1.4.62) and asks for a restore. Last backup of this devise on this PC was 5 months ago without any problems.
    itunes runs on Windows XP.
    What could be the cause of this problem so I can avoid it in the future??
    Can anybody help me to overcome this problem and take a backup of all the data that I have 4s????
    Thank you
    pzarb

    This could have happened for any reason, but if it is in recovery mode, the data is gone, you would not be able to do a backup now. You should be doing a backup regularly for this purpose. If the 5 month old backup is all you have, then you either restore to that backup, or restore as new without any backup and start over again.

  • HT1551 How do I fix a 2nd generation Apple TV that does not restore to factory settings after a failed installation of software update 6.0?

    Yesterday, I got asked by my 2nd generation Apple TV if I wanted to update download and install the new software update. I clicked "Yes" and the download and installation process began. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and when the installation completed the Apple TV automatically rebooted itself, which is what has happened with previous software updates.
    Alas, after reboot, the only thing that appeared on screen was an old iTunes logo (the one with the CD in the background) and what looked like a USB cable. I went online and found out that other people had been experiencing similar problems with the newly released Apple TV 6.0 update and that they had also ended up with the same image on their screen.
    As it turns out, this image apparently means that you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings by hooking it up to your computer using a micro-USB cable and then using iTunes to restore it in a way analogous to restoring an iPhone via iTunes.
    I followed all of the instructions to the letter such as disconnecting my Apple TV from all cables including the power cord and then hooking it up to my computer with the micro-USB cable. I opened iTunes and absolutely nothing happened. The Apple TV does not appear as a device so I am not able to restore it.
    I have attempted rebooting my computer and leaving my Apple TV disconnected for a while before hooking it up to my computer since it apparently has an internal baterry that keeps a charge for about 30 seconds after being disconnected. Nothing has worked.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    System configuration:
    Apple TV 2nd generation running update 5.3
    iTunes version 11.1 (126)
    Mac OS X 10.8.5 on an Intel Core 2 Duo

    Did you follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • TS1372 I have iPod Classic in Disk Mode and when i connect it to my apple computer it does not appear in iTunes and the screen displays a message saying "Do not disconnect" with a circle with a line through it, flashing. What do I do now?

    I have iPod Classic in Disk Mode and what do I do next cause it's not showing up in iTunes?

    Does the iPod appear on your desktop as an external hard drive?  Has the iPod ever successfully connected before?  Disconnect your iPod and reset it using the Select (Center) and Menu button combo.  Then reboot your Mac, open iTunes, and reconnect your iPod to a high powered USB 2.0 port and see if it's recognized.
    Have you worked through all the troubleshooting here?

  • HP Officejet 6700 Premium suddenly does not connect to my Macbook Pro anymore

    Yes, resetting the system and adding the printer allows me to print. Unfortunately, I have to do that on a regular basis.  I don't understand why it will not stay connected.  I am not familiar with Airport Extreme.

    Hey @Cjean , 
    I was wondering how things with the printer are and your MacBook Pro. Sometimes if you plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. With it being an Airport extreme, make sure you have not connected the Printer to the Guest network.
    Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
    You could try this: Repair Disk Permissions
    On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left, by default this is Macintosh HD.
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
    Please let me know how this works out.
    Thanks.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen does not connect to itunes

    Okay, so I never had problems with my iTunes until recently. Whenever I connect my iPod 4th gen into the computer, it connects and charges but doesn't show up in my iTunes. My iPod works and everything, it just won't connect to iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes completely like it said in support, and I have restarted Apple Mobile Device, several times. I have the current iTunes 10.4 too. Does it have anything to do with connecting my iPad 2 into the iTunes? Because it was fine up until I had done so. Also, when I check my services the Apple Mobile Device service is stopped when I connect my iPod. Before it, it says running though. My iPod will also connect to other computers, just not my own. All other computers have also not had the iPad 2 connected to it. Any thoughts? I would really like to sync my games and music to my library again, without having to go to my sibiling's computer.

    Did you try to create a new user account in Windows, set up your iTunes account, disable autosync and connect your ipod? Try to transfer your purchases and back up manually before your sync for the first time. And don't forget to set up at least one contact and event in Woindows, to ba able to merge contacts and calendars.
    If this works, try to do the same for your ipad. If still ok, you might have to remove all Apple related Software for your other account, as described here: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Did you also check your security software settings?
    Additional Information
    If the Apple Mobile Device Service still will not start, or if it stops unexpectedly, this could be caused by third-party security software. Please follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
