Help! Computer still not seeing Apple TV

No matter what I do, my computer is not seeing my new Apple TV (got it used). I have a ATT Uverse modem and both my G4 (OS X 10.4.11) and the Apple TV are plugged into it. They can both connect just fine, but the computer is not seeing it when I go to preferences>Apple TV. Both iTunes and the Apple TV have the latest software and I even reset the Apple TV to factory settings and re-installed iTunes. I even went so far as to use a wireless modem plugged into one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Uverse modem and connected both my computer and Apple TV to that modem so they are on the same network.
Is there something I am missing? No matter what I do it is not working

While I have a PC, I went through exactly the same problem you are having. No matter what I did, I could not get it to see the device. After clicking on pretty much every possible link, I found a message stating iTunes could not see Apple TV because the Bonjour service was not enabled. Only problem was ... there is nowhere to enable Bonjour + searching for this word through Apple's help had no results. It wasn't until I Googled it that I found a link to download the program (which the book never mentions by the way). The link ironically leads back to Apple's site. Once downloaded, it saw it immediately and worked fine. While a Mac is configured different, it sounds like you need the Mac version of this software.

HP DJ4645 scanner does not see Mac OS 10 Maverick and computer does not see scanner

HP DJ4645 scanner does not see Mac OS 10 Maverick and computer does not see scanner.
I installed drivers and software from the HP website. Printer works fine but scaner does not work over WiFi. I did not try over USB because printer and computer are not in same room.

Hi @mamedina ,
I see that you are not able to scan over the wireless network. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Deskjet 4645)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
I have provided a document to make sure the Scan to Computer is enabled. You will have to select 10.8, then Network Connection. A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet 4610 ...
If you are still not able to scan, then I would connect the printer to the computer by a USB cable to see if it is a network issue or the scan port might be blocked on the router. Unfortunately the printer isn't accessible in the same room, but this will rule out a software issue or a network issue. You can contact the router company to check and open these ports 9220/9500/427 on the router for scanning.
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

My computer does not see my printer

Hi: I am having a problem with my HP Photosmart 4500 printer. My computer does not see it. I have a USB connected to it, have uninstalled and installed the software two time, dowloaded the latest update and nothing. Add to that, I can not connect it by WIFI. WIFI on the printer is on but again, it's no where on any of the screens. The only variable I can think of that has changed has been the router I got recently from AT&T. Everything else works with the WIFI but no computer. I'm running 10.7.5. I have read the install instructions and nothing seems to be working. The one thing I do get from the HP install disc is a message reading the printer isn't recognized but there are no updates in support. OK, what am I missing here?

Try these steps to uninstall the current software using the HP scrubber and then reinstall using the current HP driver available through Apple.
To do so, perform the following steps:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ and then click on “HP Uninstaller”
2. Next click “Continue”
3. Highlight the device on the left pane.
4. Press and hold control+alt+command on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on “Uninstall”.
5. After you do this, you will see a pop up that asks you if you want to uninstall all HP software. Please note, that in doing this, it will remove any other HP printers that you also have installed.
6. Click “continue” and wait for the program to finish.
7. After it completes, reboot your computer.
Once the computer is back on, do the following steps:
WARNING: This is will delete all of your printers.
1. Go into “System Preferences” and then select either “Print & Scan” or "Print & Fax".
2. Right click (or control + click) on the rectangle listing your printers and then select “Reset Printing System”.
After you have reset the printing system, let's make sure you have the most recent HP driver package installed.
You can do this two ways. First, check for any available HP Update's by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update. If there are any updates available, they should show up here. However, if the printer is connected by USB, it will not show any available updates. The other option is downloading the drivers from Apple's website.
You can download it here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.14.dmg
Once you have downloaded the driver package and completed the installation, you will want to plug your printer back in (if you were using a USB connection). After the printer is plugged back in, go into your print settings under System Preferences > Print & Scan. To add the printer, click the plus sign. You should see your printer listed here. If not, click "Add Printer or Scanner." Click the name of your printer and then click "Use:” box. Make sure that says the name of your printer and not AirPrint. If you are using the printer wirelessly, make sure that the printer "Kind:" is set to Bonjour or Bonjour Multifunction. Click "Add" down in the bottom right hand corner.
This will add your printer back using the most recent HP print driver available through Apple. Let me know if this helps resolve your issue or not. If it doesn't, let me know I will see what else I can do.
Best of luck,
Kyle

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
     a. wired?
     b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

HT2623 Help.I do not see my photo stream at my iCloud account. My device says that PS is on.

Help.I do not see my photo stream at my iCloud account. My device says that PStream is on. Everything else appears...I have just purchased more iCloud space and want to delete photos for a trip so I can take more...I have 0 bytes left

You won't find photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's where you're looking. They only appear on devices signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.
If you want to delete photo stream photos, you delete them from one of your devices. However, photo stream photos do not count against your iCloud storage so deleting them will not free up additional space in your account.
Also, be sure you don't use iCloud to back up your photos. Photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days, although up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted. To keep your photos, save them all to the camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

I even can't send them an e-mail ? What type of company it is ?

Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.

Do not see Apple TV in Office laptop

I have one Toshiba home laptop I had to reset Apple TV to make it appear in the list of Devices and did the Sync.
I have a Dell laptop from my work, the Dell laptop from work is part of office domain but I can use it at home too. I do not see Apple TV in list of devices in iTunes of my Dell laptop. How do I make Apple TV appear in list of devices in iTunes on this laptop.
Dell Latitude Windows XP Pro

pcjunkie,
If the Dell is listed in the sources of the Apple TV, then it is functioning correctly. The Apple TV will only show as a device in the computer that it is synced to. It is normal behavior to not show in the devices that it is synced to. This knowledge base article can explain the differences (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305270).
Cheers,
John

You must upgrade your OSX to Lion (10.7) minimum, Mavericks (10.9) preferably.

My computer can not see my phone to put music on why what do I need to do

I'm trying to load music on my phone but my computer doe's not see my phone what do I need to do

Saving music directly to your phone is a great and easy way to have access to your music on the go. jimpick, there may be a few reasons why your phone and computer are not seeing each other. Are you using the original USB cable that came with your phone? If not, that cable may not support data transfers.
When you connect your phone and computer together, does your computer recognize that something has been plugged in to the USB port? It should attempt to install drivers/software. From your phone, please sweep your finger downward (from the status bar at the top of the screen) to display your Notifications. You should see a connection alert with the option to choose Media Device. This way your computer knows to treat your phone as a removeable hard drive.
A window should populate, providing the option to open this storage device. From there you should be able to save your music in the Music folder. Let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you, jimpick.

Rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device. ??

rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device. i'm brand new at apple tv - do i need to enable it or something?

Is it the little black box? If yes then it is the 2nd model. It won't show up in iTunes as there is no syncing involved. The only time it does is when you connect and need to restore the device.
You need to enable home sharing in iTunes and on ATV

Any ideas?

in remote app click on the
lower left corner on the text
top of the context menu click devices
choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
you should use airplay mirror not the remote app

TS1474 I have missing content in my iTunes library, there is no way to contact support unless you have some sort of serial number. My computer is not an apple computer but can't call them without it. Only 256 songs showing up; I had 8,000 songs on my

I am so done with this. 8,000 songs on my iTunes app and now I only have 256 songs!! I purchased a new computer and had backed up all my content onto an external hard drive. When I downloaded the content onto the new computer, I was unable to access my music for 90 days!! What a bunch of BS! $8,000 down the drain, just like that. This is ludicruis! I have tried to contact support but they require some sort of serial number, don't have one, this is not an Apple computer. So their support ***** as they only give you one option to contact them. I still have my content on the back up but am afraid to re-download in fear I won't have access to the material for another 90 days! Has anyone else had this problem? I feel like I've been ripped off!

Can not see Apple Pay in Passbook

When I click on Passbook, I do not have Credit and Debit Cards as the selection below shows, All I can see is Passes.
I do have 8.1 and I do have a iPhone 6 Plus.
Thank you for any responses ahead of time

I had same problem and then I looked at this post. However, before connecting to my iTunes, I gave one last try and went to settings -> General -> Language and region -> Region Formats. I had set up my region as India as I use Indian languages for display purposes. However, when I changed the region back to US, I was able to get to the screen in Passbook where I could add Credit/Debit cards. So this was solved. Then I went back to settings, but the Passbook and Apple Pay menu was still not available. So I restarted the iPhone and it took me to screens as if I was starting for first time. After couple of clicks and setup, I was able to see the menu in settings as well. Btw, I am still able to use Indian languages with the region setup as US. So I am not losing my original functionality either.
Hopefully this helps for people with similar setup and do not wish to go through iTunes route.

Computer does not see ipod, no charge

My computer doesn't see or charge my ipod nano. It is only a few months old and this is the third time I have plugged it into the USB port to charge. The backlight came on when I plugged it in, but I didn't pay attention to what it said. When I came home from work, the screen was dark with the apple logo in the background. I reset it and the screen went dark. I changed USB ports to all available ports to no avail. The USB ports on the computer are good since they are running other devices. The power is not able to be lowered automatically by the computer. I have tried all of the "R's" given by the support center again to no avail. The computer does not recognize the ipod and no power seems to be given it at all. I am at a complete loss as to what to do. If anyone has a brilliant fix for this I will be ever so grateful. Thank you for your time!

try reinstalling the ipod software

HT200199 Still not seeing AVCHD in Aperture 3.3

I upgraded to 3.3, but I still do not see my AVCHD files when I try to import them (Canon m2ts files). I tried changing the file extension to mts or m2t, but no luck. Clips are not 1080p60 or 1080p50. Any ideas?

I have some AVCHD files captured on a Sony RX100 at 50 frames per second because I want the option to slow the clip to 25fps for smooth slow motion.
While Aperture does appear to import these (I suppose unorthodox for Aperture?) 50fps files, I am unable to do anything with them:
A quick look at the file info related to an "MAH03115" for example, indicates it is a 22.6 MB MP4 file that Aperture describes as "Unsupported Video Format".
Aperture suggests I open these files in Quicktime Player so I tried this and discovered I can export from Quicktime to 1080p, 720p etc. and import these back into Aperture. Seems a roundabout way to get things done.
The above seems aroundabout way to get clips into Aperture then it's a one step process in rival Adobe Photoshop Lightroom:
Just an aside: Are their rumours of Apple's intention to merge FCPX and Aperture into one application?
I suspect exporting at a lower quality format recognised by Aperture may be the answer, for now, but I'd be degrading existing files and wasting a lot of time.
It is especially frustrating as Lightroom had no problem importing similar clips shot at 50fps or in non-DVD non-Bluray formats available on the Sony RX100. Very straight forward. No extra steps necessary.
Lightroom feels a bit "busy" or cluttered for me and I found putting slideshows together more cumbersome than in Aperture. I am also more familiar with building photo books in Aperture and this feature also looks a bit cumbersome in Lightroom.
I switched from Aperture to Lightroom (with Premiere) and back to Aperture again because the Apple fiels (the photos/videos) and applications appear to be more seamlessly integrated and accessible... mostly.
When I was using Adobe, I had to export files (to the desktop) from Lightroom and import them into Premiere. Maybe I should have been using bridge.
I also felt Lightroom and Premiere slideshows were cumbersome and did not even try making photo books in Lightroom because it appears less intuitive.
Any tips appreciated. Many thanks.
