I can't connect AppleTV to iTunes after updating to Lion

I updated to Lion today, along with all the iTunes/iWork/Java/etc updates that were available on Software Update. Now my AppleTV can't recognize my iTunes library on my computer.
My wifi is on and working fine, my Home Sharing is still set up in iTunes and on AppleTV.
I used to use Little Snitch (which would sometimes cause problems) but I updated it to the latest Lion-friendly version (v 2.4) and it still didn't work, so I uninstalled it (using the provided uninstaller that is included in the download package - not by simply throwing it away).
I've restarted both iTunes as well as the computer (to avoid Resume issues).
So far nothing has worked. Please advise!

I too had the same problem with Apple TV, once I downloaded OS X Lion to my iMac desktop and MacBook Pro. I called Apple TV support and they recommended doing a full reboot of my AT&T Uverse system (TV, Internet, and Phone). Well, after the full reboot, all is well! I can now access my iTunes Library, Netflex, etc. I was also able to restore wireless capability for my HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer even though HP plans to release new drivers for OS X Lion. So then, I highly suggest rebooting your entire home cable system after downloading OS X Lion. Surely there is need for additional patches and new Apple TV software but this immediately cured my problem. Please note too that at Apple Downloads, you will find a Java release for OS X Lion.

Can't connect to music store after updating itunes; ?connection refused?

Can someone from itunes please help. i mean ****. i guess u guys don't think of the people in ur forums that have problems. i have a problem accessing the music store. it says the network connection was refused. please check ur settings...blah blah blah. anyway the point is there are tons of people with this problem, no solutions, end of story. and lots of people have been having this problem right after updating their itunes. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? just tell us how to fix our music store. then maybe people would actually still use itunes instead of limewire.

The iTunes Music Store uses both HTTP Port 80 and 443. Make sure both are open in any firewall, and also make sure that the following domains are exempted in any firewall/filtering software:
phobos.apple.com
phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
You might want to completely shut down any firewall temporarily, just to see if that makes a difference. If you can then connect, you know it's a problem with your firewall.
Another possibility is an erroneous entry in the Hosts file. This tip from Mark Holly resolved problem for another poster (please note that I have not tried this fix so I cannot vouch for nor support the suggestion: I provide it only as a suggestion that worked for someone else):
NOTE: this will change a Windows operating system file. This could cause you problems if not done correctly.
Using Windows Explorer navigate to the following folder:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.
In this folder is file called 'hosts'. Open it using Wordpad.
On the poster's pc there was in this file one long line. At the end of this line was "127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com:. phobos.apple.com is the web address for the music store. What "127.0.0.1 phobos.apple.com" is doing is telling the pc to look for the web address only on the computer rather than the internet. By remove this section of the line and saving the changes you may then be able to access the music store without any problems.
IMPORTANT: Before making the changes to the hosts file I highly recommend making a backup of it. That way you can restore the original if other problems occur.
Hope this helps.

IPad can't connect to vodafone 3G after update

After updating to iOS5.1 from 5.0.1 my iPad can no longer connect to a vodafone 3g network. It continually shows "No Service" or "Searching". Manually searching for a service provider only lists O2 or Orange - yet my iPhone right next to it will also list the vodafone connection. The sim in the iPad works fine in the iPhone, and the working sim in the iPhone doesn't work in the iPad. Since Apple will not allow a downgrade to 5.0.1 is there another fix for this "feature"!?

As long as Vodafone hasn't gone down.. I had similar messages when Telecom XT was off line for a few hours.
Try removing the sim card and then reseat it.
Otherwise it's probably a trip to the Vodafone store

Can't connect AppleTV to ITunes on PC

I have seen many threads of people having problems connecting Itunes on their Windows PCs to their AppleTV. Has anyone got a solution? Here is what I have done.
I have restarted PC, router, and AppleTV many times. I have enabled Home Sharing and gone into preferences to ensure everything in ITunes was setup for sharing by sharing my entire library. My AppleTV still cannot see my PC. Any other suggestions.

I am running Windows 7 and after the last update to iTunes Apple TV would get message about home sharing is not available and everything seemed to be setup correctly. Support suggested and reinstall and reboot of the router. Apple TV would work maybe every 5 to 7 days. I happened across something last night where if you right click on the iTunes icon you can run diagnostics. It said there was an incompatibility between iTunes and my version of Windows. I let it do the repair and it asked to change some system settings. After I let it do that then the sharing message went away. It worked again twice today even after I shutdown both the computer and Apple TV. Only annoying thing right now is everytime I start iTunes it asks permission to change system setting and then a second message box reminds me that some screen settings wouldn't be good but at least my Apple TV works again.

Can't connect to Airport Express after updating software

I ran Software Update today on my Intel Mini which updated iTunes to 7.3 and apparently included a security patch that I did not take note of. Since then I cannot connect to my Airport Express which is hooked up to my stereo system. The AE works fine when I connect to it from a PC in my home. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion Juan. I did a hard reset and reconfigured the AX. I was able to stream music to it from iTunes, but a few minutes later I noticed that my internet connection was stalled, as was my connection to email. So I rebooted the Mini and the internet and email are now working, but once again it won't connect to the Airport Express through iTunes...? It is almost as if it can no longer connect to the internet and stream music simultaneously. I don't know if it matters, but after the hard reset I set up the AX to "join my existing network", which is a Netgear wireless router. I assumed that the Mini's internet connection is thru the Netgear device, and by setting up the AX the way I did it would only be used for the stereo system. Should I have done something different?

I can no longer sync my iPhone after updating to Lion and iTunes 10.4

My iPhone does not show up in the iTunes sidebar anymore. I'm running iOS 4.3.2. The iPhone does show on the display that it is charging up however.
Syncing used to work perfectly in Snow Leopard with the previous version of iTunes.
When i connect my iPhone to my other mac, (running Snow Leopard Server with an older version of iTunes) it is detected without any problems, so there must be something wrong with my Lion + iTunes 10.4 installation...?
Does anybody know what to do? Thanks

what happened to iTunes 10.6 aren't Lion 10.7.3 compatible with it?!
Completely compatable, I just upgraded my iPhone through it yesterday. But as these are the Lion Forums, you may be better places posting this in the iPhone Forums as well.
Good Luck

My iTouch can only be restored thru iTunes after update

I updated my iTunes to 10.5.1.42 last night, and then updated the iTouch software to IOS 5.0.1.
Now, when I plug my iTouch into my computer to sync and open up iTunes, the iTouch is found and recognized, but the only option I have is to set up as a new iPod or to restore from backup. After multiple restores, these are still my only options - not getting the window with syncing options at all. How do I get my music, podcasts, etc. back onto my Touch?

I've read in another thread, and tried at home, it's a little unorthodox but it worked, so it goes like this:
Plug in your iTouch then start doing the restore backup, then after it started, unplug it, your iTouch will prompt u for a restart, et voilá. It should be fine. (At least it worked for me)
Hope this helps.

Firefox can't connect to any servers after updating my computer.

I have vista. When I read the help comments. They were for XP. I have no tool options/advanced tabs to click on that I can find. I have to access the internet through outlook. Also my Email has been giving me error messages. I hadn't used my computer in over 2 months so I had a lot of updates not just Firefox.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Can't sync iPhone5 with iTunes after updating to iOS8

So I've updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8 and since then, I cannot sync my iPhone to my iTunes anymore. It keeps saying that my mac isn't one of the five authorised computers when it has been authorised ever since i bought this iPhone. I tried quitting iTunes and try again, same thing happened. Tried rebooting my phone as well but things are still the same.
Also, a little problem on top of this is that whenever i try to paste a number at the phone app at where the numbers are suppose to appear (above the number pad), the phone app automatically crashes. Someone please help!!!

Try doing a Reset All Settings on your phone. This will put all the settings on the phone back to factory default. You will not lose any content, but you will have to go back into settings and turn on or off anything you have set, including email if you want to have to manually check for email rather than have the phone push it to you automatically.

Can't connect to my itunes because the message states that another user is using my itunes when thi is not true.

I can not connect to my itunes account because the message states that another user in using the account and this is not true.

After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

IPad asking me to connect to iTunes after updating to iOS 8.1.1

iPad asking me to connect to iTunes after updating to iOS 8.1.1
I have iPad which was updated to iOS 8.1.1 recently and after boot up of the iPad; it is asking me to connect to iTunes.
Please let me know what might be the issue. Why is it asking me to connect to iTunes? How will I be able to restore the iPad to a working condition.
Thanks in advance.

It means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode (all software has bugs, operating system updates don't always go smoothly). You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes by its cable, and that should recognise the iPad and let you reset it back to factory defaults - you can then restore to you backup, or just resent your content to it.
