I can stream from my computer, but can't transfer anything to the Apple TV

I can stream from my computer, but can't transfer anything to the Apple TV unit. What am I not doing or missing?

I beleive that I found the solution in anoter post1 I will try when I will home:
"Since 2.0 streaming happens automatically if your computer is on and iTunes is running.
So, computer off = synced content on AppleTv.
Computer on, merged media list of synced and streamed content - AppleTv uses the synced content if available instead of streaming the same stuff.
Must say I preferred the original 'Sources' and found it more intuitive. other probably prefer the new system.
If you only see stuff that's synced you need to check that the box under Custom sync saying 'Show only the synced items on my AppleTV' isn't checked. (That's in iTunes Devices>AppleTV>Summary tab)."

  • IPod will connect to computer but not to iTunes (I followed the apple website guide already)

    My iPod touch 4th gen WILL connect to my computer but not iTunes. I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and Apple mobile service is running, iTunes is updated and iTunes says everything is ok EXCEPT it says there is no iPod connected, but my computer says it is.
    The apple diagnostic is located under the "Help" tab in the "Run Diagnostics" button.
    Everything is a green light and is ready to go, except the last diagnostic which says that I do not have an iPod connected. The problem here is that I do, It is also a new iPod and when I plug it in I hear the computer beep that signifies that an external device has been connected.
    My sister also has this problem connecting to the same computer (the only computer with this problem).

    Have you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    including:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • Can I watch anything using the Apple TV?

    I am thinking about purchasing a Apple TV, but I am a little confused about what I can do with it.
    For example, if I want to watch something on the internet can I use the Apple TV to watch it on my TV?
    Or, if I have a DVD that I want to watch, can I open it on my computer, and then play it through my Apple TV?
    Or do I have to rent everything from iTunes?
    Thank you!!!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    If I want to watch something on the internet can I use the Apple TV to watch it on my TV?
    No, you cannot watch anything from the internet other than You tube, Flickr and the itms trailers and previews.
    if I have a DVD that I want to watch, can I open it on my computer, and then play it through my Apple TV
    No, all content must come from itunes.
    Or do I have to rent everything from iTunes?
    No, not at all. You can watch anything provided it is in the correct format.

  • HT201263 None of these answers help my problem.  My ipad will not leave the Apple logo.  I hold both buttons and the screen goes black, then the apple logo immediately pops back up.  I can't do anything because the apple logo just keeps popping back on.

    I haven't been able to find any answers that solve my problem.  My Ipad will not leave the Apple logo.  I hold both buttons and the screen goes black and then the Apple logo immediately pops back up.  I can't get the red slider screen at all.  No matter how many times I hold down both buttons the screen goes black and then the Apple logo pops right back on.

    Before you do anything else, try charging via a wall outlet for a while, since its off. Then try turning it back on.
    When you put the device into recovery mode it allows you to restore the device when no other options work. You do risk losing everything currently strored on the ipad itself. Hopefully you've performed regular backups either via itunes, icloud or both. Evern if you have synced content to either of those, you may not lose everything. All previous purchases have been saved in the itunes and app stores, so you can dowload them again.
    while the ipad is off, press and hold the home button and plug the usb cord into the ipad. You should see a message pop up on the itunes window on your compoter screen that state it has discoverd an ipad in recovery mode.
    You should now be able to restore

    I get this  problem every day or two when trying to connect my ATV 2 running 5.1.1 to iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.8.2 (though it started happening with earlier releases of both ATV software and iTunes. I think it started happening regularly following the installation of the ATV 5.0 software, with I think iTunes 10.6 or thereabouts.) They're connected over WiFi via an Airport Extreme basestation.
    The TV simply shows a black screen with:
    'Could not connect to "<iTunes library name>"'. 'Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV , the iTunes version is up to date, and iTunes is running.'
    I've found the way to fix this problem when it happens is to restart the Apple TV (Settings>General>Restart). This always seems to correct it and allows me to connect to iTunes successfully once again, but the problem always returns sooner or later and I've not been able to determine what triggers it exactly. It  seems to happen more often if the iMac running iTunes has been put to sleep with iTunes running and subsequently woken, but it also happens sometimes when I wake ATV and try to connect it to a freshly booted iMac and newly launched iTunes.
    I keep hoping a new release of ATV software will fix it but neither 5.1 nor 5.1.1  made any noticable difference and neither have newer releases of iTunes.

    You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.

  • I have an iPod Classic and the latest version of iTunes. I make all my purchases on my computer, but when I try to click the "add to" option and transfer the songs to my iPod, it doesn't work. How can I get my songs from my computer to my iPod?

  • My XP machine is unable to load iTunes 10.5.1. It gets about halfway loaded then says it can't find Bonjour.msi. However, that file is on the computer. I tried loading the Bonjour.msi from another computer but it came up with the same message.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I want to delete photos that I have backed up from my computer, but when I go to select there is a faded trash can icon which I cant access

    I want to delete photos that I have backed up from my computer, but when I go to select there is a faded trash can icon which I cant access

    If you copied the photos in question to your iPhone by connecting to itunes on your computer you need to do this again. Start itunes on your computer, connect your iPhone, select your iPhone in itunes and select the photos tab. as long as you are connecting with the same computer you should see, in the Photos TSB, a list of the photo albums on your computer. Those that were synced previously have a check mark and are selected. Deselect those you no longer want on the phone and then click on Apply or Sync. The deselected albums will be deleted from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.
    if you only want to remove a few specific photos from various albums on your iphone, then move those photos out of the albums they are in on your computer. Then sync with iTunes. The photos you removed from the albums on your computer will be deleted from the albums on your iPhone when you click on Apply or Sync.
