Mac doesn't find Apple TV but iPad does..

Hi
I bought a Asus rt-n56u the other day and set it up with my Netgear cg3700 provided to be by my internet supplier. I turned off the router mode on the cg3700 when I connected them both.
When I tried to airplay a video from iTunes on my mac (macbook pro mid 2010) it doesn't find the Apple TV. Homesharing from the Apple TV doesn't work either (although it did before I installed the rt-n56u). I can't airplay or share my screen from a 2013 macbook air either.
But when I try to airplay videos from my iPad it works just fine. Furthermore I can access my videos in iTunes on my iPad trough homesharing.
This means that they are all on the same network and I can play a video in my iTunes-library on my Apple TV by finding it trough homesharing on my iPad and then airplay it from the iPad to my Apple TV. But I would like it to work as it should and not this way.
Does someone know what I should do to get it to work?
(I've tried to restart the modem, router, Apple TV, Mac and so on ...)

Apple unwisely used the name Airplay mirroring in my view as older Macs could only push a pre-rendered iTunes stream (eg purchase) via Airplay.
Airplay mirroring is quite different as you may know which is why older Macs are not supported.
This really does sound like a networking configuration issue - you've done the restart all devices I'd normally suggest.
Are some devices on ethernet?

New iMac doesn't see Apple TV, but Macbook does

Until yesterday I was using my Macbook Pro for the Apple TV. Last night I moved all my content over to my new iMac (copied actually) and I want to start using the iMac for Apple TV. (once everything is set up I will just wipe the content off the MacBook.... 96GB is too much for a laptop!)
Currently the iMac isn't seeing the Apple TV, but the Macbook Pro is. Do I need to remove the Apple TV from the Macbook in order for the iMac to see it? I am just hesitant to try it because there is a warning message that everything will be erased from the Apple TV if I remove it. I am pretty sure everything is on the iMac and therefore wiping the Apple TV won't cause me to lose anything... but I would rather know if this is the solution before I do something like that!
Thanks

Thanks... I was just getting ready to ask a new question I followed the Help guide's instructions to do Settings > Computers > “Connect to iTunes” but we can only stream now with that. So thanks for the response, it helped me to know what was going on there. Now I am going to go see if I can figure out how to do what you suggested.

I just got my mac, and created a apple id. but when i tried to download iphoto, it said it was already used by a nother id! what should i do

i just got my mac, and created a apple id, but when i tried to accept iphoto from the app store, it said: these app cannot be accepted by your apple id. it was already asigned to another id's purchases list. if you don't have accsess to that apple ID and want to receive future updates you will need to purchase.
but i shoulndt have to buy iphoto, should i? what should i do????

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

HT204053 support states you can't merge apple ids, but it does give you an option to edit. Im sure there's a reason, but why can't I sign in to 1 account and edit the name to match the 2nd account?

It doesn't. Gmail is owned by Google.

Report it to Google:

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

If you can't remember your password then see if you can get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't get it reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

TS1410 By mistake I disconnected my iPod Classic when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes (have tried resetting and rebooting).

By mistake I disconnected my iPod (5th generation) when it said Do not disconnect. Now it doesn't appear in iTunes, but it does appear on my desktop. How can I get to reappear in iTunes? I have tried resetting and rebooting. And my iTunes is up to date on my macbook pro, mountain lion, OS X 10.8.
Thank you!

The iPod's filesystem may be corrupted. This may seem like overkill, but it has been known to help many others in the same boat. Try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk using the instructions in this article.

Itunes isn't finding my device but iPhoto does

When I plug in my iphone 5 iphoto opens right away but itunes doesn't find it. So I can't sync or download anything to the phone.

Hi. Thank you for trying to help me.
I have the latest version of iTunes. I run Mountain Lion, not Mavericks. But it is the latest OSX for Mountain Lion.
The other thing it sometimes does is it seems to find the device but get stuck in loading the device. It just isn't able to finish loading the devices, whether my phone or ipad. And then iTunes can't quit by itself. It needs to be force quit. It won't even command Q quit - you have to go to the apple and force quit from there. It just gets stuck.

Imovie on iMac doesn't find movies on my iPad when trying to import. Moviues are in iPhoto, but not iMovies....

Hi. Just bought an imac, to centrally store all the pictures and particularly movies clogging up our 2 ipads.
connected the first ipad, and in imovies the movies appeared and were imported as expected. I then connected the second Ipad (a mini), and now imovies only recognises the photos on this one. The movies on the second ipad do appear in iphoto, and i suppose i could just store them all in there, but would prefer to keep all my movies in the obvious place, i.e. imovies!
Any thoughts or pointers on how to get this to work? thanks.

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

IPhone 4s doesn't find personal hotspots from iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6

Hello All,
I have an old iPhone 4s that I use on wifi and as a media player.
I also have an iPhone 6 on ATT and an iPad Air 2 on Tmobile. Both of these devices have hotspot capability and I can connect them to each other in the event one does not have a data connection. Also, both of these work tethered to my macbook pro by wifi or usb.
My problem is that when I pull up the wifi settings menu on my iPhone 4s, the "personal hotspot" section does not pop up. It's as if the iPhone 4s doesn't see the personal hotspots at all. There are times there isn't a wifi signal, and I would like to download a song to my iPhone 4s by using the hotspot on either my iPhone 6 or iPad Air 2.
Anybody have any advice?
Thanks!

You have asked the "Crystal Ball" question here.
The iPhone 6 and Plus are already obsolete from a marketing perspective so to keep waiting is effectively a way to never buy. Sure, there will a new shiny phone in 2015 but not for some time. The real question is whether to go for an iPhone or iPad. If you are developing, then it will be up to your target device that you use the most. I would update your iPad as the 2 has already become long in the tooth and probably will not run iOS 8.1.1 reliably (not that anything does right now). The iPhone 4S is really struggling with iOS 8.1.1 and quite frankly I am surprised that Apple included it in the iOS 8 release platforms. Mine has run like a dog since it upgraded and if I was able, I would have backdated it to iOS 7 in a New York second.
If money was no object, I would update the iPad first and then get the iPhone 6Plus as the more generally used platform for mobility.

HT204074 I have been reading about how to associate devices with my Apple ID, and the info says I can go to my account through iTunes to find "Manage Devices" but that does not exist. Either it was phased out our there are other ways to get there, but can

I am trying to find out about all my associated devices. I recently got a message that I had used my last device, and am not sure how this can be. The instructions for accessing the info via the iTunes account info page apparently were not shared with the programmers since there is no Manage Devices button or option as far as I can see. How do I do this?

After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
https://supportprofile.apple.com
And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't. :-)
Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

Help!My Mac doesn't find my external hard disk

Today when I tried to open my mac it "stuck" on the first white screen (by the way my external hard disk was already connected).So, not know what to do, I disconnected the hard disk without ejecting it first, since my computer hadn't opened yet and then I switched it off using the switch off button. However, when I switched on my computer again it couldn't find the biggest part of the disk. I have to say that the external disk is split in 2 parts, Lacie and Exchange, in order to use it in both mac and windows respectively. Is there anything I can do to "make it come back"? Please, tell me that it's not lost...I've restarted it but yet nothing...

If you've followed Randy's suggestions above, and you say nothing shows up on the camera's LCD when you're connected (like DV IN), then I might suspect a bad firewire cable.
Remember, the Easy Setup should be chosen first; then you should be capturing into the project with that Easy Setup. If you've chosen the DV NTSC setup, what happens when you open the log and capture window? Does it say "VTR OK" under the view window, or does it say "NO COMMUNICATION?"
If the latter, again, you may have a bad cable. If you're getting the VTR OK, then try controlling the camera with the transport controls in the log and capture window. It should work.

Finder Doesn't Show External Firewire, But Pathfinder Does

Hey Folks,
Am hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I've been using Pathfinder for a while, but have wanted to switch back to the normal Finder of late. My only hitch is that, for some reason, the Finder doesn't show an external firewire drive I've got running, while Pathfinder does.
The drive is available -- when I go into terminal, the drive is listed. Again, it's just not showing up in the drive list in the Finder.
Any thoughts? I tried dumping my Finder prefs, but that didn't seem to work.
Cheers,
Anthony

Finder->Preferences->General->cycle HDs to show on Desktop. If not, launch Disk Utility->select the FWHD and unmount it. Turn its power off, disconnect the FW cable, and shutdown the machine for five or so minutes. Restart the machine, reinstall the FW cable, and power it up.
