ITunes to ATV problem

Hi All,
recently started having problems with iTunes 7.6.Decide to downgrade it to version 7.2( as a stable one,recommended in one of the topics here).Deinstalled 7.6,moved it from Applications to Trash.Downloaded 7.2,installed it.Now the problem:when I try to connect ATV to iTunes(input passcode in iTunes for ATV) receive an error message - Apple TV cannot be used because it requires iTunes version of 7.6.Checked the box from AppleTV,it says that it is good for iTunes version 7.1 and up.i am using version 7.2 currently.
Please,advise what is the problem here.
Cheers.
M

Yes. See http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html. It now says 7.6 under system requirements.

Problems synching form iTunes to ATV

I have no problem synching purchases made from ATV to iTunes on my MacBook Pro but when I try to do the reverse a sync starts but dies a few minutes in and the Apple TV listing in the Device section in iTunes disappears and never comes back. I have to start the connection from ATV to iTunes again to get it back.
Here's the frustrating / buggy part I don't get....
1. The second after I re-establish the connection on iTunes to ATV it starts trying to sync a Movie it appears that has already been synced and is on both the MacBook Pro and ATV. It basically says in the LCD section of iTunes Transferring Purchases of Apple TV (so it appears to be trying to re-sync Star Trek every time). About 5 minutes into that the whole thing loses its sync connection, device disappears etc, gone forever until I reset everything.
2. Why is it that I can't just tell Apple TV to not try to sync right away... it gets set to automatic sync after each new reset and gets into it so fast it starts trying t sync the purchases. I throw it into Custom Sync and turn off the automated settings and Apply... the sync continues and does not stop. Stopping it in the LCD does stop it bit then it does not respect my new settings and then trys to do the Purchase transfer again after hitting sync and gets into step one.
Lather, Rinse Repeat into this endless loop between #1 and #2.
I can however stream from iTunes to ATV fine but that is not what I am trying to accomplish.
Any insight out there to this?
Thanks,
Kevin

Here's an update to my sync reset problem which is even more mysterious.
1. I decided to hook my MacBook Pro directly to an Ethernet cable and then try the sync. This time the sync went through completely but it did create a duplicate copy of Star Trek on the ATV, I guess from iTunes and it copied the movie I told iTunes specifically to sync which was "Alice". Thats the good news and I thought the problem was isolated to having the MacBook Pro on wireless and maybe between ATV through the router and to my MacBook Pro which was on wireless as well. But this was not the end of the story...
2. Got my email today with the Alice bonus track redemption codes.... since I was on a roll in step 1 except for the duplicate movie I downloaded the 4 bonus tracks into iTunes and then tried to sync those to ATV but what happened is it tried to start syncing Star Trek again and obliterated my Alice on the ATV listing.
So I seem to be in this weird state where iTunes or ATV does not realize it needs to sync that movie again and since that sync takes about 30 minutes before it can get to Alice and more importantly I told iTunes to not sync Star Trek but it does it anyway like it is starting new.
Things that make you go hmmm.

AppleTV does not appear on iTunes list - upload problems

I am having a problem with my AppleTV appearing in devices on iTunes.
I am using the newest Airport(N) and an Apple TV in the bedroom.
All software is up to date.
Good signal on MacBook Pro when in bedroom so I know I have a good signal from Airport to AppleTV
Problem:
When I open iTunes the ATV does not show up.
I download a TV show.
It appears on my library list as completed.
But, it does not access and upload to the ATV.
I turn APBase off, wait 20 seconds and when turned back on it still does not appear.
I go to Airport Utilities and go through setup. No luck.
Restart Macbook system. No luck.
_The only way I can get it to appear and upload_ is to unplug the ATV and let it restart.
Then I get the upload.
This is not fun. It should be automatic.

I fix my problem. The port UDP 5353 was not open correctly in the firewall modem.

ITunes "encountered a problem and needs to close" error

hey guys and gals, i really need help. i've been trying to fix my iTunes software for months now. Without further ado, here's what happened:
installed itunes
deleted quicktime accidently
installed quicktime
installed itunes
itunes still doesn't work
installed and reinstalled multiple times from both the c.d. and itunes.com
Therefore, when i attempt to open my itunes program, the dialoge box stating, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send error report, dont send."
the details of the error report are:
"information regarding the condition of iTunes when the problem occured; the operating system version and computer hardware in use; your digital product id, which could be used to identify your license; and internet protocol(ip) address of your computer.
we do not intentionally collect your files, name, address, email address or any other form of personally identifiable information. however, the error report could contain coustomer- specific information such as data from open files. while this information could potentially be used to determine your idenity, if present, it will not be used. the data that we collected will only be used to fix the problem. if more information is available, we will tell you when you report the problem. this error report will be sent using a secure connection to a database with limited access and will not be used for marketing purposes."
for the love of god, help me. i really wanna get my itunes working.(i have no antivirus software, such as mcaffee or norton, etc)
i really appreciate it

great, but when i did this, the agreement popped up and disappeared as soon as it came up, before i could press anything.
yuck. that's consistent with a malware infestation problem that has been causing error-less itunes launch failures since late October. but there's another couple of main possibilities that we have to check on for these "error-less" launch failures. let's try to firm up the diagnosis a bit.
first let's make an observation.
reboot your PC. open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so, does it persist in there, or disappear after a few seconds?
if itunes.exe persists in Task Manager
do you have Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, first see:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
... but if you don't have NIS 2005 (or symptoms persist), check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
if itunes.exe doesn't appear in Task Manager (or disappears after a few seconds)
then we have to check up on the malware possibilities.
(this is not a cure, it's a final diagnostic.) use MSCONFIG to get iTunes launching again:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
after the selective startups, don't launchother applications prior to opening itunes. (this has been known to re-trigger the launch suppression.)
post back with a list of the Startup items that you needed to disable in order for itunes to launch again. exact spelling and capitalisation please.

Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

My IPOD Classic Video 5. Gen. showed videos, but now it does no longer show them, instead i see a black picture on my IPOD and it doesn`t work. I have to restart it every time, i try it. i restore the software with itunes, but the problem still exists.

The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

I lose my internet connection when i sync iTunes and ATV. Please help

Ive just bought a new Apple TV and I am trying to stream TV shows and movies from my iMac via the wireless network.
The ATV found the right network instantly and I wrote in the password. Ive paired the iMac iTunes and ATV and I can see all the episodes and movies on my TV.
When I want to start to watch any of it, it loses its connection to the router/network. And so does the iMac. I havent had any trouble with the iMacs connection to the network until now. If Im not trying to watch anything on my TV, the internet is fine on both the ATV and iTunes.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Ive tried to fix the DHCP in my router settings, but im not even sure what that means, let alone if it helps When i lose the internet, I can still see the network name, but when I try to connect, it says that connection timeout.
I have a D-Link DI 524 router.
Thanks so much
Lisa
EDIT: If I exit iTunes my internet connection is fine. As soon as I start it and iTunes starts to sync with ATV, I lose the internet. Anyone know why and how I can fix it?
I forgot to add that WAN settings in my router says that I have Dynamic IP Address.
Thanks

Okay.. When i stop the syncing between the ATV and itunes, I can watch a movie/TV-show for about 30 seconds, then the network will timeout.
So i know the atv is working. I have a feeling its the router that is too old? I will try to upgrade its firmware tomorrow, as i was told i couldnt to this when connected to wireless?

ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.

It worked until we rebooted the computer and since then it would come up with an error.

Can someone please tell me what to do?
