"Look for Apple TVs" is checked, but Apple TVs a No-Show

My AppleTV refuses to re-unite itself with iTunes. In iTune Prefs the "Look for Apple TVs" is checked, but no Apple TVs show up in the box below. So I can't input the pass-code to get it syncing. It's weird because the network-password info in "Setup" and is correct working, the cables are all connected and secure, and the most current software is installed.
I just thought of something! It was working fine, but then my older DSL modem was damaged and I had a new WIRELESS DSL modem installed. But I DID re-input all the new info (new network name, password, etc.) and everything has been working fine except this new problem with Apple TV. Any ideas?
Tomorrow I will be installing Leopard OS. I wonder what effect this might have.

Please don't start two threads with the same question.

  • "Look for Apple TVs" is missing from iTunes10 prefs.

    based on apple's kb http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453 :
    Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected"
    I don't have the ATV in itunes 10.1 (10.6.5):

    I do have it in itunes 9 (10.4.9):

    I recall some time back I unchecked "Look for Apple TVs" in itunes 9 so it didn't keep trying to update, but since updating to itunes 10 it appears broken.
    I tried to read through this previous thread but it went all over the place.

    I suppose I could erase/restore the ATV and get them talking again to upload 130GB of content...

    I booted off an external FW of an Erase Start From Scratch 10.6.5 (OS only) install I use for maintenance.
    itunes 8 (default first time opened), 10.6.5:

    I booted off an external FW of a 10.6.4 clone of my full working hard drive (the source drive is the drive I am using now with the itunes 10.1 problem).
    The clone has itunes 9.2 and still shows the atv icon.
    The clone includes my full working itunes.
    itunes 9.2, 10.6.4 clone:

    This tells me the problem occurred somewhere in iTunes 10 and/or 10.6.5.

  • "Look for Apple TV" preference doesn't appear to work

    Have just set up Apple TV for a friend, without realising the HD is only 40gb. As a result his music and photos have instantly filled the HD and it seems to be constantly trying to sync (or at least the spinning arrows beside the Apple TV in the devices list won't go away)
    To solve the problem until I next get over there, I suggested he merely uncheck "look for Apple TVs" in his iTunes preferences, but the TV still comes up under the list of devices every time he opens iTunes. I have also got him to uncheck the option for synching music and photos in the tabs of his Apple TV device
    Any assistance most appreciated
    Kind Regards

    Chances are it's your internet connection.
    If you can play things under the Computers tab from your local itunes library without issues then your LAN is likely to be fine.
    AppleTV2  does not play well with slow/variable interent connections for rentals.
    Basically it calculates how much needs to download to flash memory to allow continuous playback without interruption at the rate your internet connection is delivering - if this rate drops due to more users in your area or perhaps throttling of bandwidth by your ISP then the calculation will be wrong and movies will stop/start.
    If you simply have a slow connection, then you have to wait for much of the movie to download first, this may take some hours.  On AppleTv1 the presence of an internal drive made this much more robust as the movie would stay on the unit until the rental/view period had expired.  It might take hours to download (so rent in advance of viewing) but once it was there it would stay until expiration.  AppleTV2 however does not retain the download and often if you restart the film it has to start downloading from scratch which I think is crazy.
    Please send feedback here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    I wish they had the option to 'lock the download in memory' until viewed or deleted - this would limit you to 1 HD movie rental at a time in order to keep enough free for other tasks/local streaming usage, but would make the device far more practical for slow connections.
    You should test your internet connection at say speedtest.net on the computer.
    Just as estimates I'd say:
    1Mbps - probably 12 hours+ to start watching HD, less for SD
    3-4Mbps - 20-30 mins to start watching HD, within a minute for SD  (my speed)
    8Mbps+ - watch within a few seconds
    If you go to Settings and in iTunes store options change to SD from HD you may find you can watch far quicker with any new rentals, but if you want HD it defeats the purpose.

  • How to locate 'look for apple tv' command in iTunes

    i am trying to connect first generation apple tv to mac mini.
    following all instructions but apple tv does not appear in itunes devices list.
    cannot find how to configure itunes for 'look for apple tv' command.

    That depends on how you set it all up. If you chose the "connect to iTunes" option then you should be able to sync content to the hard drive on the Apple TV. If you chose the "add shared library" option then you can only stream to the Apple TV.

  • Looking for apple authorize reseller in usa for iphone 4S or 5

    I'm looking for apple authirized reseller in usa that sells unlocked iphone 4S or 5 , if any body will help with this topic , please.

    No. They don't. Amazon and eBay are not authorized sources for iPhones. The only authorized resellers in the US are agents of the authorized carriers. Pretty much anyplace where you can sign up for a contract with a cellular carrier you can buy an iPhone.
    If you want to carry the iPhone, you must be an authorized agent for a supported carrier. Then you go through the carrier to get your stock.

  • My itunes can not upgrade. it is looking for athe Itunes.MSI file, but it is unable to find it on the C:drive.  How do I correct the error, and reinstall Itune for my Iphone, Ipad and Ipod?

    My itunes can not upgrade. it is looking for athe Itunes.MSI file, but it is unable to find it on the C:drive.  How do I correct the error, and reinstall Itune for my Iphone, Ipad and Ipod?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

    I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

    Argh that's frustrating! I never noticed that key did not work in InDesign.
    A bit of research and it turns out the MS Office has this as an option in their software. But I cannot find an option in InDesign preferences to make this work.
    However, somethings are not listed in the shortcuts and preferences and are hidden triggers in InDesign which can be accessed through a script.
    I'm not saying it's possible to activate the Insert Key through a script, but it's plausible that it can be activated.
    Maybe ask on the scripting forum? InDesign Scripting
    I know this may be a possibility as with InDesign's earlier versions of PDF export to interactive documents there previously was no way to export interactive pdfs as single pages if in Spreads.
    But the option to toggle this setting was scriptable.

  • Looking for Apple TV, I have none

    I tried an Apple TV for a couple of days, and returned it.
    Now when I try to play music on iMac, iTunes says it's searching for airplay devices and cannot find Apple TV.  Would I like to use this computer instead?
    How can I set up iTunes so it does not look for an Apple TV that doesn't exist?
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If iTunes is still trying to connect to the Apple TV you returned, view the AirPlay menu in iTunes to make sure "Computer" has a check mark next to it:
    Open iTunes.
    Locate and click the icon to the left of the iTunes LCD window.
    From:
    iTunes: Using AirPlay - Apple Support
    If the Apple TV still appears in this menu, try quitting and relaunching iTunes, and then restarting your Mac.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • Looking for Apple training....

    I'm an Apple Certified Mac Technician and love my job. Unfortunately I'm only one person running repair and the retail side of the store. I know there has to be some training courses that teach about the best ways to use GSX, updated repair tips and tricks, or just some sort of conference for Apple repair. I'm looking to learn/train to increase my overall knowledge and provide better support to my customers.
    Anyone have or know any good training/courses/workshops/conferences for repair guys?
