ITunes 8.2 no longer sees 2 Apple TV devices until...

Hello,
I've seen many posts over the months about people having problems getting their Apple TV to connect with iTunes. Until this morning I thought that I must just have things "set up right."
I updated to iTunes 8.2 shortly after it was released. I don't know how long my two Apple TVs have not been showing up in the sidebar. This morning I noticed it because I bought some songs off the iTMS and was unable to right-click on my main music Apple TV (a 160 GB model). The 40 GB one connected to my HDTV is also AWOL. They both were still in my Apple TV Preferences panel and both said "Syncing" in the status column. Both Apple TVs still have network access as does the iMac. I have an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet.
Here's everything I tried, in order:
1) Restarted my 24" aluminum iMac with iTunes 8.2 and OS 10.5.7
2) Pulled the plug (i.e. rebooted) both Apple TVs
3) Told iTunes to "forget" both Apple TVs.
4) Told the 160 GB Apple TV to "forget" my iMac's iTunes.
5) Updated the AEBS to the latest firmware (7.4.1)
6) Told the 160 GB Apple TV to connect to an iTunes and noted the 5-digit access code. iTunes on two different computers running 10.5.7 and iTunes 8.2 fail to see the Apple TV in the Preferences panel. The "Look for Apple TVs" checkbox is enabled.
7) Restore factory defaults on the 160 GB ATV and reattach to the network. Step 6 failed again, same symptoms.
8) Downloading the latest ATV software to update the 160 GB ATV again. Repeat step 6.
Now, miraculously, both devices appear in the sidebar in the un-set up state with the name "Apple TV." Great. I get to resync 100 GB of music and video. That ought to saturate my poor network for a couple days. I hope this never happens again but somehow I suspect that I have joined the significant percent of ATV users with problems like this.
Feh.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
You're not alone buddy.
Frustrated.

HT1923 My itunes will not open due to the Apple Mobile Device.

My itunes will not open due to the Apple Mobile Device. When i try and start it on control panel it says i cant. i unstalled Itunes and the components and then reinstalled it like the website says and the same problem occurs. can someone help me please?

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the latest version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

HT201413 itunes wont install, runtime error R6034 also 'apple mobile device' wont start! help!

itunes wont install, runtime error R6034 also 'apple mobile device' wont start! help!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
