ITunes 9 killed my Apple TV

Which pretty much says it all. Unless it is a complete coincidence, upgrading to 9 effectively killed my Apple TV sync ability. Windows XP, never had an issue before with the wireless network (been running ATV for nearly four years now) and I don't have any answers other than to downgrade (the error message tells me to make sure port 3689 is open but it always has been and still is).
Any other ideas before I chuck it all and go to something that just is a whole lot easier (I got a Western Digital HD Live for my big screen TV and it beats ATV all to heck and back for half the price so now I'm thinking that rather than deal with this hassle I'll just buy another one for the bedroom and get out of the Apple TV business once and for all -- I've never had sync issues, but sync is such a hassle and is so slow when the WDTV streams lightning fast).

All I'm saying is that every other device I've ever used allows me to connect from that device without any issues whatsoever. Apple TV is the biggest PITA I've ever used -- you need to run iTunes, you need to race back and forth between the two to enter codes, and you can't connect even if you turn off all your firewalls (which, by the way, I don't need to do with any other device).
I still can't get it working and it's a piece of junk -- compared to the Western Digital HD live I can't see why anyone would buy this (and the only reason I did? Because WDTV hadn't been invented yet). So now I'm stuck with this paperweight that I can't even get $50 for. Sigh.
I don't even have any thing else to try -- as I said, it worked before, I didn't change anything (other than the new iTunes) and even with all firewalls turned off at the router and PC (something I do NOT need to do with WDTV) I still can't get connected without the error (iTunes does SEE ATV, and I can enter the code but that's about it). Oh well, I guess it was worth having for at least a few years (oh, wait -- no it wasn't :>)
(Note: all of this may not apply if you use a Mac. Apple has never really taken kindly to us PC users, although they begrudgingly try).

Je respire à nouveau car mon PC re-fonctionne mais je ne suis toujours pas content de APPLE ou je n'ai trouvé aucun correctif pour ce problème.
Voila l'utilisation et la procédure super pratique du chargement de musique sur mon iPod de 30Giga:
1) J'installe iTunes et je charge les musiques sur mon iPod.
2) Je redémarre mon PC et le lecteur CD/DVD n'existe plus.
3) Je désinstalle iTunes.
4) Je désinstalle le lecteur CD/DVD, je supprime les 2 clés de registre incriminé.
5) Je redémmarre mon PC et je peux à nouveau utiliser mon lecteur.
6) La prochaine fois que je veux mettre de la musique sur mon iPod, je recommence la procédure à partir de 1)
J'espère que APPLE va trouver une solution.

Itunes refuses to recognise my ipad telling me that i need to uninstall itunes and reinstall the itunes 64bit version for windows - i am on windows 7 and all was working fine until suddenly for no reason at all itunes had some apple support error

I have windows 7 and all has been fine until 2 days ago when suddenly i turned on my laptop and i got some error message about some apple support program error - i didnt tkae notice of it only that i couldnt run itunes, so i uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it now runs as normal, but now it wont recognise my ipad saying that 64bit version is not installed - WHAT RUBBISH IS THIS? i downloaded and installed the 64bit version from applie and yet the error persists - can some one please tell me how i can get itunes to recognise my ipad again - this seems like such a ridiculous error for these two apple products to be conflicting with each other - please help

well i have found that i needed to not just uninstall itunes, but also apple mobile device support, bonjour apple software update and apple application support - uninstall all these and then install itunes - that seesm to have fixed it, though now i am sync fail - that's a different matter perhaps

Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but won't display content from itunes library on the apple tv section of remote app

What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen.
Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image. Any ideas? I know that the remote app is connecting to the apple TV because I can control it using gestures, just strange I can't see the content on the ipad like in the attached video clip, instead I see the screen in the image below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

ITUNES,iPHOTO and Apple TV HELP

I am trying to sync my photo library on my Mac to Apple TV. While in Itunes, I select Apple TV, click on photos and then "choose folder". The problem is that my "iphoto" file, where my pictures are, is grayed out.
How do I select the file of my choice or how do I get my iphoto file not grayed out. How does itunes select by default, the proper picture file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Brad

*The later. I use the "Choose Folder"option. When I navigate to the libray, it is grayed out so I cannot select.*
I do not know what libray itunes is choosing by default. The album listy displayed is not the one I want to use. Since Iphoto does not have a "save as" feature, I cannot determine what library iphoto saves to. Very strange and a departure from normal file management(editorial).
I have put a photo library, one that I know id the correct libray, on drive 1. When I go there, it is grayed out.

HT203167 Someone has been using my credit card to download games. this has happened before when I had a different credit card on my itunes account. the apple store on that previous time would not give me the ip address where the downloads ended up.

Someone I entrusted my computer to for repairs decided to keep it. all my personal information was on the computer. the peron has been using my credit card information o make ourchases from the apple store. If I do not have a credit card on the account on my iphone, I am unable to updatw it or my ipad. After persuading the apple store people to delete the last credit card info, I had to put aother credit card on the iphone to be able to update the software and thevapps. now that card is being used by the person o download war games on the new card. I cannot find any of his downloaded games on any of my devices. I am close to giving up my iphone and ipad. the last time i called the apple store, theynwould not give me the IP address of the omputer the games were downloaded to. they only gave me the name of my ipad. anyone could name thir ipad according to the name on mynipad. I have found the Apple store less than friendly about security matters like this. What can I do to maintain my acount and not continue to be ripped off by the thieving interloper? if i change my user name nd password, i will forever lose legitimate purchases. Please advise me.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Is the credit card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
Each time that you add or change your card details then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid (though that is usually $1 or the approximate local equivalent) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
Did your daughter owe any amounts to iTunes ? Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they are proper charges which you don't think that you should have then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's.

Wifi sync 2 iPhones in one iTunes with different Apple-ID's. My Phone will show up in iTunes, my wife's wont. After plugging my wife's phone into my Win 8.1 pc and check Sync over wifi, I hit the eject button, could this be the reason? Or might it be the different Apple-ID's? If the answer is the first, is there any way tohave iTunes forgetmy wife's phone so I can addit from scratch?

Ello,
I know this, but thats in the past now sadly. The question is: Why wont my wife's iPhone show up in iTunes via wifi?
Is it because I pushed the eject button? And if so, is there any way I can make iTunes forget my wife's iPhone and *** it from scratch again?
Or is it because the phones uses different Apple-ID's?

I currently share an itunes account and apple ID with my mom and I want to create my own one now. How do I do this? Will I lose everything on my iphone?

I want to use my own email and credit card and manage my own account but I don't know how to do this and I'm hoping that I don't lose everything on my iphone right now.

Hi Rileycarline,
You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes

If you bought an Apple gift card, then you cannot use it in the iTunes store. You can only use it in the Apple store for hardware.
You would need an iTunes gift card to buy anything in iTunes

Unable to Connect to iTunes Store for Apple TV Purchases

For the past 2 days I have been unable to make purchases from the iTunes store with Apple TV. I get the message "Unable to connect to iTunes Store. Temporarily unavailable. Try again later." Despite this message, I have a valid internet connection and I can still connect to the iTunes store to preview movies and TV shows content with my Apple TV. I just cannot make any purchases. My Apple TV software is currently up to date and I have valid credit in my iTunes account.
Apple support have suggested that I contact their support community to see if anyone can help me resolve this problem.

Also having issue, it is ridiculous. Kinda defeats the purpose of having TV if you can't stream any content from iTunes since the change to no hard drive. Come on Apple, I think your better than this.
I have read on a couple forums that they suspect Family Share as the issue, does everyone have Family Share on? I for one do.

ITunes music to Apple TV via Airplay no sound

Please help.
If I am playing music from iTunes 11.0.5 on my MacBook Pro and I use Airplay to sent the sound to my Apple TV it starts playing with sounds as expected.
But 75% of the time when it continues to the next track or song there is NO sound! I can see it plays because the play counter is running on iTunes and my Apple Tv aswell, and it Scrobbles to Last.fm.
I then have to pause and press play, or skip back to beginning of the track to get the sound back. Otherwise it can continue to play the rest of the album, just without sound.
I've tired updating all software and firmware. OS X, iTunes, Apple TV and my Time Capsule.
I've tired disabling the Equalizer. I've tried restarting iTunes, Apple TV and my laptop.
I've run out of ideas to try.
What can cause this issue? Does anyone experience anything similar?
Sidenote:
I first thought it would be the fact that my iTunes media files are stored on my TC and the .itdb and .itl are still on my local HD in Music iTunes folder. But there is no problem when playing music on my iOS devies using shared library (home sharing) with the Music app. Only when Airplaying to my Apple TV.
Apple TV2 5.3(6105)
Time Capsule 4 gen. 7.6.4
iTunes 11.0.5
Any help or ideas is really appreciated, i'm going crazy here

My network and TIme Capsule seems be setup correctly and follow the guidelines of "Recommended Wi-Fi settings" as far as I can tell. But i connected my AppleTV with Ethernet cable, since they basically next to each other. It seemed to help i managed to play 6 tracks in a row . But the problem still persists.
It is strange, i've had this exact settings for years now. And i've never had a problem before iTunes 11 came along. And it is only Airplay to AppleTV that fails, not playing or accessing through Home Sharing.
But perhaps i should start thinking of other ways to store my iTunes media files. The Time Capsule HD is sooo slow reading time. But music, movies, tv shows and apps take up so much space that my laptops 125GB SSD is a no go.
But thanks for help and suggestions anyways.

HT204074 I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. How can I sync both computers to a common song library? ITunes Match?

I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. Each computer's itunes library is common by around 75% of the songs. How can I sync both computers to a common song library, so that all songs can be updated for both computers? Will ITunes Match do that?

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.
