ITunes not finding Apple TV

Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro, Time Capsule and Apple TV, network is operating fine, Apple TV is on the network (movies, youtube etc all work), however iTunes will not find the Apple TV unit? I have googled many responses on this and reset both the network and rebooted Apple TV etc, nothing seems to work, I have file sharing on and firewall is not blocking...still no Apple TV....went to Apple store...no help there...one thing i did notice different in the store from the iTunes main window (on the demo model there) is that down the very bottom where you have 4 small buttons on the left hand side to select shuffle cover art etc...and then on the right hand side there where 3 options (one to select Apple remote speakers, Apple Tv etc) and then 2 Genius buttons....my iTunes window only shows the 2 Genius buttons (not sure if this will have anything to do with it, but thought it might be worth mentioning)..short story is I have spent many frustrating hours trying to get it to work...I even drove an hour to the only Apple store in Bris/GoldCoast to ask for advice..so much for that idea...(LOL) any help would be appreciated...I just want to hear my tunes through the stereo (many thanks from an anxious music fan), cheers, S

This won't solve it but may at least let you determine is seeing the device at all.
Enable AppleTV Settings so that it can behave as an Airtunes speaker, and also enable Airtunes speakers in iTunes references.
If it' detected for this you'll be able to stream iTunes output to it. I mention this a si my AppleTV disappears from Devices in iTunes I can usually still use it in Airtunes mode.

Window could not find apple software, window could not find apple software

My computer is windows 7 and it could not find apple software. I installed itunes which is latest version but still can't connect with ipod touch.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Rented a movie on my mac - trying to watch on apple tv (i think 2), but iTunes not "seeing" apple tv - so i can't 'move' the rental to the device. ??

Is it the little black box? If yes then it is the 2nd model. It won't show up in iTunes as there is no syncing involved. The only time it does is when you connect and need to restore the device.
You need to enable home sharing in iTunes and on ATV

ITunes not finding album artwork

I'm getting a bit sick of this - why does iTunes not find any album artwork any more, yet it recognises the album & finds all the tracks? This seems to be a constant problem on this forum - anyone have any ideas...? I have iTunes 11 & a desktop intel Mac, OS X 10.7.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade to 8.2.
Make sure that the *Album Artist* and Artist of your album matches up with what's in the iTunes Store EXCEPT if the artist has an ampersand (&) in it. Then put in everything up until the space before the ampersand. (You're free to edit the info after you've gotten the correctly downloaded artwork.) In some cases you may not get the correct artwork no matter how you match the data.

Itunes has lost my purchase song list but all the albums are list as complete my albums. The ones i have purchased are tell me i have to buy them again. Not happy Itunes not Happy Apple

Itunes has lost my purchase song list but all the albums are list as complete my albums. The ones i have purchased are tell me i have to buy them again. Not happy Itunes not Happy Apple.
How do i fix it or does apple have to fix it on there end?

If the single songs are no longer available in Itunes, that would also explain why you aren't able to see your purchases.
If the songs are on your phone you can transfer purchases to iTunes app on your computer. You wouldn't be able to download them again though.

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

ITunes not finding TV episodes

So I sunk about 40.00 of hard earned money into some TV episodes.
I am trying to sync to my Apple TV (Older 32gb version).
All my other shows/movies sync fine, but the last batch I purchased are located in my iTunes on my pc, but when I try to sync it tells me it can not find the files.
I transferred my itunes to a new PC (which took about 3 friggen days to fight with iTunes to get it to work)...
and now I'm slapped in the face with this mess...
So before I go off on too much of a rant does anyone have any suggestions on why this is happening and what can be done to fix this. I will say I've read where people really dislike iTunes and now I can honestly see why.

Has episode 18 been aired yet ? Looking at wikipedia episode 18 is listed as due to be aired in the US on April 15th, no episode is listed as being shown last week : series 10.
If it has been aired then the TV company hasn't made it available to iTunes to put in the store, nor have they made it available on amazon.com : Supernatural series 10 amazon.

ITunes not finding music files

iTunes cannot find 90%+ of my music files. I manually linked them together over the last weekend (yucch) and today when I went into iTunes, the links were all broken even though the .mp3 files were in the same directories as before. I can manually find the music files but that's a chore, particularly if I have to do it several times (not!). Any suggestions?

Well, you have a couple options. First shut down iTunes. Then unmount your HD. Then mount your external HD again, then after it pops up on your desktop, launch iTunes. Any files iTunes has that points to your ext. HD should play just fine.
Or, you can copy all your music to your ext. HD (if you don't already have it there), and simply delete your iTunes library (by removing your data files). You could then add to library, making sure you uncheck "copy itunes songs to music folder). This way, iTunes will only "point" to your ext. drive to play the music. If the drive isn't on, you don't get any music, and the "!" sign. If you have many playlists, this can be tricky.
As a rule, I don't go crazy with playlists, other than smart playlists. This way, you don't go nuts when you lose your data file, or want to do a clean update of your library. You'd be surprised at the times I thought I kept my library in tip-top shape, only to delete it and add the music again. I often find a song or two that I had hidden somewhere.

Itunes not finding music

my itunes folder is in my my music folder but for sumreason tweak ui cnt read the folder, i think my my music folder is not an official microsoft folder, is there a way for microsoft to make anothjer my music folder to put my itunes folder in?

If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within the TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
5 Navigate up the tree to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and is pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by double clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the folder.

ITunes not finding cover art

During the process of ripping my CD's into iTunes on my new Mac Mini I am frustrated by the fact that iTunes cannot find cover art for multi million selling albums from Metallica, AC/DC, Queensryche, and other obviously popular artists. Cover art that is easily found by Windows Media Player on my Dell PC. What is the problem here? It is not like these are obscure B sides or anything like that. Any solutions to this problem would be appreciated.

Well, I got the artwork back by opening the first track (sometimes it had to be the second or even the third track) with CMD-I then clicking ok.

Itunes not finding files

After a disaster recovery on my computer I used my ipod to transfer all the music files back to my PC (after opening the hidden files etc).
I have selected the file from my PC and uploaded them into Itunes and synced my ipod which is working fine.
The problem I have is when I go to play any of the songs using Itunes I receive the error message "cannot find file". I know where they are on my PC but as the files are all named as per the ipod filing system (rather than by artist and song title) I do not know which file to choose.
Is there a way of getting Itunes to find all the files?????
Any help would be appreciated.

iTunes is still probably looking for the files in their location on your iPod's Hard Disk rather than on your PC desktop. You can look to see where iTunes is looking for these files by right->clicking on one of these tracks and selecting Get Info. When the window appears, look at Where field at the bottom of the Summary tab.
If it's still looking for them on your iPod's hard drive, you'll need to remove these files from iTunes and re-add import them. However, before doing that again, head to Edit-> Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Make sure there is a tick mark next to Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library is ticked. It wouldn't hurt to also tick the Keep iTunes Media folder organized as well. From there, you can re-import the file's from your iPod.

Do Not Disconnect Doesn't turn off - itunes not finding ipod

My ipod has been plugged in for hours and it still says do not disconnect. Also, itunes says that there is no ipod connected. How do I fix these and have itunes find my ipod.

Maybe you should try and restore it to factory settings by using your iPod updater and selecting "Restore".
