    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    Apple TV does not appear in devices and does not appear in preferences. I can access my music libary between ATV and Itunes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 shouldn't appear in devices or in preferences and you cannot sync content to the Apple TV 2, all those things relate to the Apple TV 1 only.

    If it is a version 2 ATV, it will not appear in iTunes except where you can select it for Airplay. With the new ATV2, you go in the opposite direction (ATV2 to iTunes) after you have enabled sharing. The ATV1 could both store (sync) and/or stream content. The new one cannot. The ATV2 will appear as an AirPlay device in iTunes and in the iPod and Video areas on an iPhone, iPad, etc.
    If your ATV is a version 1, you will have to reset it and go through the setup process using iTunes....

  • Apple logo does not appear when resetting ipod

    Screen froze and ipod beebed.  Connected to pc and managed to install restore software. Managed to sync some music to it, but nothing shows on ipod screen. I havet tried to reset the ipod as in the support suggestions but the Apple logo does not appear. Can anyone help please?

    When I try to reset by pressing
    the hold and menu button, the Apple logo never comes up.
    Not surprising really since that's not the way to reset the iPod.

  • HT1386 I have iTunes (up to date) and an iPhone 4s. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner. Other devices do and also the cable is fine as it charges and the PC sees it as a device. I've looked online and have no

    Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.

  • Steady green light on A1084. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete.   Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it.  Is there a fix?

    Steady green light on A1084. Mac OS X 10.7.5. IMac. Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete.   Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it and send a signal to airport express to play airtunes through my stereo amplifier.  Is there a fix?

    I plugged a model A1034 Airport Extreme Base Station into the Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem with an ethernet cable and now the AirPlay icon appears in the Itunes window immediately to the right of the volume control and I can select it and play Airtunes wirelessly through the A1038 Airport Express Base Station in another room connected to a stereo amplifier by a Monster mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable running from the output jack on the A1034 Airport Express Base Station into the CD jacks on the amp.  The problem is that I have to select the Apple Network Airport Express Base Station as my network in order to select the Airport Express Base Station when I click the AirPlay icon, which means I have no Internet signal to the Imac. If I select the Airport Extreme Base Station or the Verzion modem as my network, then I have an Internet signal to the Imac, but the Airport Express Base Station is grayed out when I click on the AirPlay icon, so I cannot select the Airport Express Base Station and send tunes to the Airport Express.  It would be nice to play Airtunes while simultaneously accessing the Internet.  I don't understand your question about what program I am using for which I require AirPlay.  I am not learned about computers in general, and even less so about Macs than PCs.  I thought the program I was running was Itunes, and there was no separate program to run to use AirPlay for the purpose of sending a signal from the Itunes on the Imac to the A1084 Airport Express base station in a another room, and then out as described above to the stereo amplifier to listen to Itunes music remotely in the other room, without any kind of cable, wire, etc., connecting the Imac to the stereo amplifier.  I would guess that the most common use for the A1084 is to play Itunes through a stereo in another room without the need to run wires from the computer to the stereo.  I realize it would be easy simply to run a very long mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable across the floor connecting the Imac to the amp without the need to use AirTunes, Airplay or any kind of AirPort, but it would be both unsightly and a tripping hazard.

  • The movies that I've purchased from Itunes do not all appear on my Apple TV list of purchased movies. Also one movie that is listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not appear in my itunes library. Anyone have a solution?

    Some movies that I have purchased from itunes and are listed in my itunes library arenot listed as purchased movies on my Apple TV. Also one of the movies listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not come up in my Itunes library. Anyone know why?

    Are you by chance signed in to differnt accounts on iTunes (your computer(s)) and AppleTV?  Is AppleTV connected to more than one computer?  When you are compairing lists of movies are you looking under the "Movies" button, or under the "Computer" button?  Where all of these movies purchased though iTunes? 
    NOTE:  The computer button only shows the content that is downloaded to your computer(s).  So it will not show all the content you have purchased.  Just all the content on the computer.

  • The address of the page I am on does not appear in the address bar?

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4, the address of the page I am on, does not appear. I often want to send the link to someone, but now I can't.

    You will all be interested to know, I had been unable to see the link of the page I was on, nor was I able to go back or forward on any webpage.............
    Both problems were solved when I disabled the "Color Tabs" Add On.
    I literally went through each add on, disabling it, and then re-starting Firefox. Again, when I disabled "Color Tabs", problem(s) solved..........
    I impressed even myself.
    Thanks for the Tip.
    I guess certain Add-Ons affect each computer differently, based on what you already have added.

  • Apple TV does not appear in Preferences

    Apple TV appears in the sidebar but not in preferences. Then I click on Apple TV in the sidebar, there are no settings options.

    I am having the same problem.  To sync my first generation Apple TV I am told to go to iTunes --> Preferences --> Apple TV.  But it does not exist.  I went to the Apple TV made sure the network was setup correctly.  I can add my computer so that streaming works from my computer to Apple TV.  But I never get Apple TV in preferences so I can not sync.
    I double checked that all devices are running current versions of all software: iTunes, OS, & Apple TV are all up to date.
    I am running an iMac with Snow Leopard, on an Airport Extreme wireless network, first generation Apple TV.

  • Apple TV does not appear as a listed "Device" in iTunes

    I just purchased Apple TV. It is working okay. I have two Macs synced with my Apple TV. One shows a "Device" in iTunes but the other does not. On the second computer, once Apple TV is loaded the device icon goes away. I am unable to access the necessary tabs to sync my photos to Apple TV. I have tried removing Apple TV and rediscovering it but it did not change anything. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums.
    This is not unfortunately the same issue as the OP (original poster) described. In any case we would need further info about your set up, types of connections, router set up, network set up, how far you get in the set up process, that sort of thing. Your post will attract more interest if it is in a thread of it's own, so perhaps you could start a new thread with the information I suggested.
    Also just to clear up the original matter: Things have now moved on since this thread started and an update has enabled photo streaming. The situation is now this:
    Your main (Primary) itunes (the one with which you sync) will (should) always have the tv in the device list.
    Your secondary itunes(s) (the ones which stream only) will (should) only show the tv in its device list if the library is selected as a source on the tv.
