I'm confused. Is an apple email req'd before my iTunes+ library is updated?

I've been waiting...and waiting for a long time now. The first message was wait for an iTunes library update to make sure things are okay.
Nothing.
Now the message is: "Your latest itunes Plus upgrade is in process. Check back once you've received the email that your upgrade is ready, to see any newly available iTunes Plus music.
So what is the story?
Is my library updating in the background?
What happens when I turn off my computer for the night?
When will I get this mysterious email?

Thanks, Chris. You may be partially right about the queuing up of downloads...but when you check the Store>available downloads button the message is that everything is downloaded. Meanwhile the iTunes plus message remains "Your iTunes Plus Upgrade is in Progress. Check back once you've received the email that your upgrade is ready, to see any newly available iTunes Plus music."
So I guess there's no progress bar to watch iTunes Plus updates get downloaded. I probably won't turn my computer off tonight if I'm not positive that my library has been updated.

Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library? Thanks

Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library?

Yes you can use two (or more) AppleTVs with one iTunes library. They can both stream from iTunes (or the internet) at the same time, as long as you have a good working LAN and internet connection.

How do i email or upload my entire itunes library so i can put it on a diff

how do i email or upload my entire itunes library so i can put it on my laptop!

iv tries to email it but file attatching only allows one song a time and id b years doin dat!
any ideas! asap
thanx holly

Holly:
I'm assuming that you have your iTunes library on a desktop machine and want to move your songs to your laptop. You have a couple of choices. If your library is small, you can create a backup copy onto a Data CD then copy the CD's contents onto your laptop.
1) Go to Preferences, select the Burning tab, click on the Data CD option.
2) Create a new playlist and copy the contents of the library to this new playlist.
3) Right-click on the new playlist and select Burn Playlist to disc
4) Launch iTunes on your laptop
4) Once the CDs are burned on your desktop, take them over to the laptop and copy them into your iTunes Music folder on the laptop
5). Launch iTunes on your laptop and drag the tracks from the iTunes Music folder onto iTunes.
If your library is not so small (ie, it won't fit on just a couple of data CDs)
If your ipod is less than half full, you can use it to quickly transfer the songs:
On your desktop:
1) Launch iTunes and go to Edit ... Preferences. Leave the window open
2) Plug in your iPod to the desktop machine
3) Once its active on your desktop, open My Computer and you will see your iPod mounted as a "Removable Disk". Open this icon up and you will see several folders such as "Calendars", "Contacts", etc. Right-click within this window and select New ... folder to create a new folder on your iPod
4) Open that new folder up
5) Go to your iTunes Music folder and copy its contents into the new folder you created above.
6) Once completed, go to iTunes and cancel out of the Preferences window. Your iPod will update and then will dismount. (If you've changed your setting to keep the iPod mounted at all times, then you will need to right-click on your iPod entry to eject it.)
Go over to your laptop and do the following:
1) Launch iTunes and go to Edit ... Preferences. Leave the window open
2) Plug in your iPod to the laptop
3) Once its active on your desktop, open My Computer and you will see your iPod mounted as a "Removable Disk". Open this icon up and you will see the new folder you just created above
4) Open that new folder up and copy all your tracks to the iTunes Music folder on your laptop
5) Cancel out of the preferences window. Your iPod should unmount.
6) With iTunes open on your laptop, click on Library.
7) Go to the folder on your laptop that contains all your songs, select all your tracks and drag them into iTunes.

I'm all Mac across the board: iPhone 5, Macbook Pro, Apple TV etc. I can't get the movies I've purchased on my Apple TV to appear in my iTunes library for viewing- Any suggestions? I have iTunes Match turned on and everything.

Apple TV cannot connect to my iTunes Library

Generation 2 Apple TV. On the same wireless network as my PC (Windows Vista Home Premium). On the same wireless network as my iPad. Remote App is operational on the iPad. All operating software is up to date. Home sharing is 'on' on all devices, all devices are on the same iTunes account. iTunes recognises it is paired with the Remote App.
Home sharing has been switched off and on. All devices have been switched off and on. The router has been switched off and on.
Neither the iPad (through Remote) nor Apple TV can connect to my iTunes Library. The only error message is: "Check your network settings and try again".
iTunes recognises that AppleTV exists, because it is listed under the AirPlay icon - however I cannot get audio through the AppleTV speakers - and a song simply stops playing when I change speakers. When this happens, the error message is:
"An error occured while connecting to the AirPlay device 'Apple TV'. The network connection timed out."
A solution is welcome.

Thanks Rudegear - close but no cigar.
I followed the instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2709
Now: I can see my iTunes library via AppleTV, and access it via the remote control.
Now: I can use the Remote App on my iPad to access my iTunes library, and control the library on my PC but not on AppleTV
Still, when playing a song on iTunes - either directly on the PC or via the iPad, when I select the AppleTV speakers - nothing. When I select 'multiple' speakers I don't get anything through the AppleTV speakers.
The AppleTV is connected to a Denon AVR (if this matters).
Thanks again - open to other pointers.

One solution for Apple TV losing connection to its iTunes Library

In 2012 I bought an Apple TV3 to let me use the AirPlay features of my New iPad with my HD TV. All worked fine and still does. Later in 2012 I subscribed to Netflix and enjoyed streaming movies to my HD TV via the Apple TV. Having had such a good experience with it so far I bought another for our bedroom TV and another for a relative, hoping they would have the same great experience with it.
Both of my Apple TV units at my house have worked flawlessly since installing them. We can start watching a Netflix movie downstairs then go upstairs and carry on where the movie left off.
At my relative's house the experience was not so flawless and has resulted in about 2 months of frustration but happily their AppleTV3 is now also working as expected. It has been quite a journey to get to this point and had a surprising solution.
I am the 'go-to' person in my family for these things so I installed the Apple TV for my relative.
My relative has a Windows XP (SP3) PC running the latest iTunes (11.0.2), a BTHomeHub 2 router, connected by WiFi to the Apple TV. The PC was connected by ethernet cable to the router. I installed the Apple TV, set up the hdmi connection to the HD TV, connected it to the WiFi network, upgraded to the latest iTunes on the PC, added the Apple ID for Home Sharing to iTunes and the Apple TV and could connect to the iTunes library on the PC, all good so far. I could play video or music or podcast or view photos from the iTunes library on the PC but after a short time (a few minutes or so), if I tried to play a different video or music track the I would get the familiar spinning icon and the Apple TV would not play the media file. Often the Apple TV would still show the contents of the iTunes library but would not play anything from it. When it was in this state it was still possible to play iTunes Trailers or Purchased content or a Youtube video or display photos from my library. This proved it was still connected to the internet and to some extent my library on the PC because it could display photos.
Initially I thought it was a WiFi problem as that was how the Apple TV was connected to the router. So as I already had a Powerline ethernet link running from the router to the TV for the Humax Freeview box for the BBC iPlayer, I ordered a small network switch to share the Powerline ethernet cable with the Apple TV. However the same drooping connection problems were apparent. I tried changing the QoS settings on the Powerline link, tried to prioritise TCP or UDP or both , but no improvement. I decided to abandon the Powerline link in case it was 'too slow', perhaps that was the issue.
I tried one of the Apple TV units from my house, where they were working fine and I got the same problem, at my relative's house it behaved like their unit, it would connect play a movie (all the way through if we let it) but after a few minutes if trying to play something else it would not play anything further. I tried their Apple TV at my house and it worked there, so the unit was not at fault.
At various times while troubleshooting these problems I have unistalled iTunes, reinstalled it, uninstalled Bonjour, reinstalled it (it comes with iTunes), searched the registry and cleaned it (Warning: do this at your own risk as you risk destabilising Windows), I have tried disabling my firewall on the PC and/or on the router, uninstalled the Antivirus / Firewall software (Norton) on the PC, I have added the Ports required for the Apple TV to my router and firewall software, I have read many, many forum posts about what has worked for other people and I tried them all in various combinations.
I decided having tried the above that the problem must be the Windows PC, so I swapped it for a few days with a laptop, connected wirelessly to the router. I had an iTunes library on the laptop so I shared it with the Apple TV and stopped iTunes running on my relative's PC. For a few days it actually worked, the Apple TV would play one movie/music track and I could select another and play it after a few minutes, a partial solution had been found except the laptop was needed elsewhere and I wanted the Windows PC to be the source for the iTunes library. I briefly considered suggesting they should buy a modern PC or Mac as their Windows PC was around 9 years old, may be that was the problem? This would have cost around £400+ and was out of the question. Fortunately I had a spare PC and I decided to swap it with the Windows PC, it was only a couple of years old and as such it must be 'better' I thought. Swapping one PC with another and transferring e-mails and documents etc. took quite a few hours but it was done. I uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled it and set up the home sharing again. This second Windows PC was running XP (SP3) and Norton 360 Firewall/Anitvirus software. I checked that after installing iTunes the Program rules in Norton were allowing the TCP and UDP communications expected by the Apple TV, I noted these were not specific ports but all TCP and all UDP communications were allowed. All of this met the recommendations that other posts had suggested. I tried it with the Apple TV but no, exactly the same problem, the iTunes library could not be found after a few minutes.
I found that if I restarted the Apple TV it would connect and play a file (movie/music etc) but if I played an iTunes trailer or just waited a minute or so then it would lose the connection. Another symptom would be when I landed on the 'Compters' icon it would tell me to 'enable home sharing on the PC with this Apple ID' , which I had already done.
If I tried playing via the Apple TV while selecting tracks from within iTunes on the PC, then sometimes the AirPlay icon was present or not present, sometimes worked and would then always not work until I restarted at least iTunes and the Apple TV, if not also the router or PC, whatever I tried it would not result in a connection between the Apple TV and the PC that would survive more than a few moniutes at a time.
Having swapped the Windows PC hosting the iTunes library with another I swapped the Apple TV again with one from my house, again same behaviour. So this suggested the problem was the BTHomeHub router as that was the only bit of hardware not exchanged. I compared its settings with the same unit at my house, I tried forwarding ports, I tried chaging the security from the default 'WPA & WPA2' to WPA or WPA2, still no solution. I tried reducing the default WiFi connection protocol from 802b/g/n to 802/b/g. I tried variations of all the other possible settings that could be changed but in the end set them to match the ones at my house. Still no solution. I considered buying an Airport Extreme or similar to link that via an ethernet cable to the router and enable it to be the WiFi access point for the Apple TV. This would have cost around £80 similar to the cost of the Apple TV itself, so was also dismissed as an idea.
I decided to restore the router to factory settings, this was done and I set up the WiFi connection again to the Apple TV, still no solution, same behaviour on the Apple TV. I decided it must be a problem with the WiFi so I tried a direct ethernet cable trailed through the house from the router to the Apple TV to eliminate the WiFi involvement, that would have to be the answer, wouldn't it? No, same problem.
I discovered some useful diagnostics along the way that are somewhat techie but worth persevering with as they could be useful for diagnosing what the problem could be. Find out on your router what the IP Address is for your computer that is hosting your iTunes library and the IP Address for your Apple TV. The IP address is essential for either device to connect with each other or the internet. The Apple TV IP address can be seen via Settings/General/Network, it has the form like '192.168.1.69' and for the PC it was '192.168.1.80', the values don't have a particular significance but the last digits after the 3rd dot will be different for each device.
On the PC (or Mac), open a Command (PC) or Terminal(Mac) prompt and try to 'ping' the Apple TV to see if you get a response
e.g.
c:\ping 192.168.1.69
or
c:\ping apple-tv
You should get a response indicating the number of milliseconds it takes for the 'ping' to be returned to the PC from the Apple TV , this will show that the PC can connect to the Apple TV, if it does not get a response then you should check that the PC and Apple TV are connected to the same network (either wired or wifi). You must be able to get a successful ping for the connection between the PC and the Apple TV to work at all.
Another diagnostic is to check the network status on the PC (or Mac)
e.g.
c:\netstat -an
This will show all the current TCP/UDP connections and also the local and remote IP addresses and ports. Look for the IP address of the Apple TV in the third column, there will be many rows returned so just concentrate on the rows with the IP addressses of the PC and the Apple TV
e.g. look for rows like the following:
TCP 192.169.1.80:3689 192.168.1.69:49123 ESTABLISHED
UDP 192.168.1.80:5353 *.*
UDP *.123 *.*
TCP Port 3689 is used by the Apple TV to communicate with iTunes for playing content. This connection is essential, there may be more than one 'established' connection to the remote Apple TV from the local PC.
UDP Port 5353 is used by the Apple Bonjour service to send multicast communications between iTunes and any iOS devices on the same network, such as the Apple TV, again it is essential.
Port 123 is used by Apple products to obtain the date and time, the UDP row above shows that any local IP Address can communicate with any remote IP address on the router's network and provide it with date and time information.
If your firewall software on the PC is blocking any of these ports then the 'netstat' command is useful to see if you need to unblock any. In my experience, this port unblocking was not necessary as when I installed iTunes, the Norton software automatically set up appropriate rules for the iTunes program, and opened the required TCP and UDP communications as iTunes needed.
Likewise, on the router itself, I have the UPnP setting enabled and this allows software like iTunes and Bonjour to traverse the router's firewall without it being necesssary to explicitly set the ports to be forwarded.
If I started the Apple TV, and ran the 'netstat -an' command over the next few minutes I could see the number of rows for the Apple TV diminish, and this was a symptom of the dropping connection problem.
Ultimately having replaced the Apple TV with another 'working' one , swapped the PC, restored the router to factory defaults, disabled the Windows or Norton firewall, tried ethernet and WiFi connection between the router and Apple TV it struck me that the only component I had not considered was the insignificant ethernet cable linking the PC to the router. This has been present since the router was installed for the original PC around 4 years ago. But surely this was how the original PC and the swapped in PC were getting to the internet quite normally and successfully? Also this was how the Apple TV was accessing the PC via WiFi then via the router through this ethernet cable, there was no way it could be the cable, cables don't allow a connection for a short time and then cause a timeout can they?. Thus, confused, and with all other avenues explored, I removed the cable between the PC and the router and enabled a WiFi connection from the PC to the router. After restarting the PC, Router and Apple TV, just to be sure, I tried the Apple TV again.
I could play some music on the Apple TV from the iTunes library, I could play it for a minute or so and then go to movies and play a movie from the iTunes library. I tried to play an iTunes trailer, some YouTube videos, these worked as usual. I then went back to the library and yes, I could play another music track or another movie. I forced the Apple TV to 'sleep' via Settings/General/Sleep Now and tried again, I woke it up and could play any music or movie from the library. Elated, I went out for meal with the family, nervously hoping throughout the meal that the solution had been found. After a couple of hours we returned, woke up the Apple TV and yes, oh yes!, it would connect with the library and play a succession of music or videos without seeing any dropped connections. Several hours later I could wake up the Apple TV again and select any content from the iTunes library on the PC and play it, finally the unit is behaving as I would expect.
This solution may not apply for all, but it worth following all of the components in the path between the Apple TV, router, computer (either PC or Mac) and the iTunes library and checking that each is able to commmunicate successfully and over a period of time reliably so that the Apple TV can perform as flawlessly as it is capable of.
Don't, as I did expect the solution to involve a complicated series of special settings of ports or communications protocol changes. Do perform a clean install of iTunes and keep it updated, do keep Firewall settings simple and let the settings be default settings, do rely on UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on the router. Let the router select which channel it wants to use, it will select the channel with least interference...and check out that insignificant ethernet cable if you have one. It might work fine for general communications from the computer to router to the internet but it can be a source of connections dropping on the Apple TV!
My relative is now a happy Apple TV user too.

Useful to watch what is happening to the TCP/UDP connections when the Apple TV is connected to iTunes and when it is actually playing some media from iTunes and when it stops playing.
To see this, use the Network Statistics command 'netstat' from a Command prompt (Windows PC) / Terminal Window (Mac):
e.g. for Windows:
c:\netstat -an 5
This repeats the netstat command every 5 seconds, use Ctrl-C to quit the command. (Use 'netstat -h' for help with this command)
While iTunes is running there will be a number of TCP records displayed for the computer's IP address using port 3689, showing at least 3 ports in use for the Apple TV's IP address.
i.e.
TCP host_ip:3689 apple_tv_ip:49187 ESTABLISHED
TCP host_ip:3689 apple_tv_ip:49196 ESTABLISHED
TCP host_ip:3689 apple_tv_ip:49255 ESTABLISHED
When it is playing content there are more connections established, some of these rows will gradually disappear when the media file stops playing. These addional TCP records show iTunes using different ports from 3689, but only while media files are being played.
When a video file is played, (on this Windows PC at least) the iTunes host is using ports 4463 and 4464, with the Apple TV using port 7000. When playing a music track or podcast, the iTunes host is using port 4472 or 4489 and the Apple TV is using port 5000.
When the media is playing, the fourth column returned by the 'netstat -an 5' command : 'State' shows as 'ESTABLISHED' and shortly after the media file is stopped playing it shows as 'TIME_WAIT' until the record disappears after a minute or so.

Is there a limit to the number of Apple TV's attached to an iTunes Library

I recently replaced 7 (seven) Version 1 Apple TV's with Version 3 Apple TV's and noticed that I now receive an error, "Cannot connect to the iTunes Library, ensure that you are on the same network, etc." on two of the Apple TV's. Shutting down iTunes and relaunching results in two others not being able to connect, but two of the previous non-connects now do. I've tried this several times and each time it appears as if only 5 of the ATV's can connect at once. Is this a limit imposed upon by Apple? Is there any workaround besides having two of the "non-connects" access the iTunes store for purchased content? The library is extensive and contains a lot of purchased content, but also contains legacy content from old CD's, DVD's and the like. I'd like to be able to access all of it if possible.
Note that the way this used to work with the older ATV's was that 2 would directly sync and 5 would stream. But with each new iteration of iTunes these ATV's seemed to get flakier and flakier hence the replacement. The new ATV's are all connected via Home Sharing.
I'm running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac Mini OS X Server (10.6.8). Would it help to upgrade to the latest OS? I can understand bandwidth issues, but we're running a Gigabit ethernet (wired) network to these ATV's and the old ones worked fine previously. Why impose this limit? Come on Apple. Give us a little love for those of us that push your tech to the limit.

5 apple tvs home sharing the same itunes library on minimac, does it work?

hi everyone,
I have 5 apple tv and 1 macmini with my itunes library (music and movies).
is it possible to turn on home sharing in all of them in order to share the macmini library ???
I'm suspicious that it works just for 4 apple tvs, not for 5.... is that correct?
thanks in advance,
nicola.

How do I get movies purchased on Apple TV to download to my iTunes library?

Using iTunes 10.7 on my iMac where my main iTunes library is located. I have a couple of Apple TVs with the latest updates. When I purchase a movie on Apple TV, what is the easiest way to get it to download to my iMac? It seems that it is much easier to purchase movies on my iMac and then they show up in the library for that computer on my Apple TV - but you have to wait for the movie to complete the download before you can watch it - sometimes inconvenient.
So, following a purchase of a movie on my Apple TV what is the easiest way to download that purchased move to my iTunes library so I can also watch it on the computer or my iOS devices?
SOLVED: Looked at post labeled "Movie purchases in iCloud" and received my answer. Movie now downloading into my iTunes library.

Thanks - I understand this in principle - but still think it should be up to the user.
If my Apple TV glitches and I lose a bunch of tv shows, its not the end of the world.
If I have no room on my computer for a large powerpoint presentation for work because my hard drive is full of Simpson episodes, it is.
Not giving the user the option not to have gig upon gigs sent to his computer is very.... well, Gatesian.

How can I get my Apple TV 3 to see me iTunes library again?

I have the following setup: my main computer (Windows 8) is connected via LAN to the router (it has no wireless adapter), and all other devices are wireless (that's three iPhones, an iPad, an Apple TV 3 and a Macbook Pro (Latest Mountain Lion)).
Everything was working fine until last week; the only thing that I can think of that changed is that I updated iTunes everywhere.
Now none of my devices will admit to seeing my main iTunes library (the iPhones and iPad in Remote, the Apple TV in Computers, the Mac in iTunes).
What gives? I've tried everything: signing in and out (and in and out and in and out) of Home Sharing (everywhere); changing Apple IDs everywhere; rebooting the router; rebooting everything else (including unplugging from power); yelling my lungs off at the stupid Apple TV for its "iTunes libraries... will appear here" for no good reason really.
Help!
(Obviously what I really care about is the ATV3 recognizing my main iTunes library's existence...)

Hello Polindrom,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
First thing I would do is restart your network router and computer. If that does not resolve the issue it sounds like you may have to uninstall iTunes and its associated softwares with this article:

Apple TV looses connection to iTunes library after Update 5.1.1

Since I updated my Apple TV to 5.1.1 and iTunes to Version 11, my Apple TV looses repeatable connection to iTunes music library (via wifi)
after ca. 20 min. Any ideas what to do?
Thx, PM

Maybe it is putting the hard drive to sleep and not waking for network access.

Apple TV 2nd gen and my itunes library.

ive looked up several reviews and read many things on apple tv. I have never owned one but from what i understand the first gen had hard drives and you could buy movies. With this gen you can only rent but can i still watch all the movies and tv shows i have in my itunes library on my computer?

if i were to stream a tv show from my itunes to my tv would it take up the entire tv screen or would it have black edges like it does on itunes?
it would look the way it is supposed to look.
if it is 4:3 content then it will display as 4:3. if it is widescreen then it will display as widescreen.
would the video look any sharper on my tv or would it be the same resolution?
the appletv won't make it any better than what it already is
and is there pauses like when a video is buffering slower than you are watching it.
that depends entirely on your local network.

HT1349 some songs on msome songs on my itunes library were bought with an old email address. I hy itunes library were bought with an old email address. I have since cancelled said email address. I would like to know how to listen to these songs again. Tha

Hello. Certain songs in my itunes library were purchased a few years ago with a now discontinued email address. I am not able to listen to them any longer because I have update my itunes library, and purchased songs from itunes with my current email address. Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

Apple TV slow performance with large iTunes library

We have a rather large (movies + music) iTunes library and the appleTV is performing very poorly... Are there any suggestions how to improve wake-up time, menu response time or performance overall? Will it help to put our music on a separate HDD and turn that off when we want to use the appleTV? Anything else?

Sorry to butt-in, we have a 2.6TB iTunes library. Music and Photos are kept on the AppleTV all else is streamed. We use a Lacie 4Big Quadra attached to a iMac G5 streamed via Airport Extreme.
The only delays we get are for the Lacie coming out of sleep mode (takes about 45 seconds), which sometimes results in an on-screen message of File Format not compatible (which just means "not found"). Retrying the selection starts the streaming. I expect the iTunes library streams the Movie/TV programme to the AppleTV which buffers it for delivery. This could be the delay you're experiencing, maybe 15-20 seconds before it starts to play - is this what you mean?
As our library has grown we've noticed no significant performance drop-off.
Possibly it's a network issue, have you run the network diagnostics on Apple TV ?
Roger

I'm confused. Is an apple email req'd before my iTunes+ library is updated?
