Missing AppleTV in Windows 7 iTunes

Having a really strange problem.
I have a WIndows 7-based PC that I'm trying to connect to my AppleTV, and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to want to actually connect. It used to work in the past, although this was some time ago as I was unable to use my AppleTV for a few months (didn't have a working tv).
I have deleted all references to the link between ATV/PC in both ATV and PC. I have updated the software on both. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, disabled the Windows Firewall (before disabling it I tried adding the iTunes sharing TCP/UDP rules), Stopped and started the Bonjour service, verified there was nothing similar running (very light installation in terms of applications installed), yet when I try to establish a new connection I have no luck.
Interestingly, the iTunes share (sharing is enabled in it) appears in the iTunes on the Macs that are on the network, but their shares are not showing up on the PC. Additionally, an Airtunes link with an Airport Express on the network shows up on the Mac, but not on the PC. This leads me to believe there's something wrong with Bonjour, or something blocking it from functioning properly.
The main router on the network is a 1GB Time Capsule. The PC can see the share on that.
Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have same error except that i get it even when my phone is not connected.

  • After I install Itunes 10.5.2 and open itunes a window opens stating another program is not allowing itunes to burn cd's. Next, I get an error window stating itunes 42404 is missing. I've uninstalled itunes 3 times and re-installed. No luck.

    After I install iTunes 10.5.2 and open iTunes a window opens stating "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." This happens everytime.
    After that on one occasion a window stated "Itunes msi) was missing. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling that disapeared. Now I get a window stating, (A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Itunes.(_42404)"

  • My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on.

    My Windows XP and Windows 7 iTunes no longer 'see' my AppleTV since latest update (25/02/2013). Also, my AppleTV tells me I must turn on Home Sharing which is already turned on. I have the little arrow that normally selects my AppleTV in iTunes but AppleTV is no longer listed (only My Computer). Is there an issue with the latest update. This is probably my fault by telling everyone how good AppleTV is and that it just works! Doesn't work any more :-( I have tried all the usual restarting of AppleTV and PCs. I'm having to revert back to the Samsung Blu-ray player's PC sharing :-(

    Restarted router(s) and it works again.

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

    You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
    you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
    then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

  • Funky window in iTunes 9 with missing sides

    I am missing parts of my window in iTunes 9. I am missing the bottom of the window as well as the right hand side. The minimize, maximize and exit buttons are missing. I have to use File, Exit to close the application. Also when i try to scroll through tunes in my library, it does some kind of funky wrap instead of continuing to head down the list. Has anybody seen anything like this? Thanks.

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
    [I typed it all, I am sooo happy!]
    I made an entire post in here, spoke with an Apple rep, and wrote that in the Apple Feedback page as well. No one could answer it.
    And you did!
    You are my hero!

  • Another victim of the suddenly-missing AppleTV in iTunes

    I picked up my AppleTV a couple of weeks ago, brought it home and synced it successfully to a G4 iMac. Put some content on it, and it ran quite well.
    Last night I get home, and iTunes cannot see the device any more. The only variable? Installed the QuickTime "security update" that came down the other night. Can ping the aTV, the router can see it, the aTV can get to the internet and view trailers, did the factory reset twice. AppleTV never appears as a device on iTunes 7.1.1(5) on that machine.
    However, my girlfriend's MacBook sees it perfectly. It shows up in the Devices list within seconds and can sync or stream, no problem.
    Steps I've already taken:
    - Powered off the aTV
    - Factory reset the aTV
    - Restarted the wireless router
    - Restarted the G4 iMac
    - Logged in as Administrator and a couple of other users on the iMac
    - Physically removed and reinstalled iTunes on the iMac
    - Verified that I can ping the aTV both from the G4 and the router
    - Verified that all devices are on the same subnet
    - Verified that all devices can be seen by the router
    - Changed channels on the wireless (from 6 to 11)
    - Forced the router to 802.11g-only
    - Read at least ten threads over the last two weeks about similar problems, none of which have conclusive solutions (Apple's troubleshooting page about this pretty much parrots the user guide and is thus useless in this situation).
    Without any of these tricks, the MacBook sees it and works with it. Even with all these tricks, the G4 cannot at all.
    Other fun facts:
    - Firewall is not and has never been enabled on the G4
    - Router is not blocking any ports
    - Router configuration has not been changed (except channel as noted above) in weeks
    - All of this used to work on all machines involved
    And to restate: this all worked perfectly with the G4 for a couple of weeks. I cannot say that the QuickTime update had anything to do with it, and in fact, the MacBook *got this update too* and still talks to the aTV just fine.
    The one thing I haven't done is physically wire the G4 and the aTV to a 10/100 hub and do it wired-style.
    I've seen several threads about this, as I said. Nobody seems have come up with a reliable solution and there seems to be a lot of casting-about for possible solutions instead of Apple investigating this properly.

    OK, even further update... it turns out that the installer for the new EyeTV 2.4 AppleTV-compatible software has a problem with the QT 7.1.6 update.
    Here's the scenario:
    I redid my iMac back to a known-good configuration from a few weeks ago, before the 7.1.6 update. AppleTV now appeared on the Device list just fine, synced up, did everything perfectly.
    I installed the 7.1.6 update, and Apple TV STILL worked perfectly!
    Then I ran the installer for EyeTV 2.40, and as soon as I gave consent for it to modify some device driver it was using, which I assume means it tweaked QuickTime or iTunes somehow, AppleTV disappeared from Devices, iTunes stopped working correctly, and EyeTV itself would frequently hang.
    Reverted back to the next-earlier EyeTV, pulled a good copy of iTunes from my earlier image, and everything started working again.
    Late yesterday, Elgato sent me a link to a new beta version of 2.40, which apparently addresses this problem. It has been reported only by users of PowerPC machines, which is why my fiancee's MacBook didn't have a problem. The new patched code works nicely with 7.1.6 and everything works again.
    Here's the patched 2.4:

    I'll post another thread about this with a better subject so that EyeTV owners can find it and deal with it.

  • Missing AppleTV in iTunes w Vista

    Hi everyone,
    My new AppleTV will not appear in my iTunes Devices list. I'm trying to connect to the ATV using a Dell Desktop running Vista Home Premium. The ATV and my computer are connected via a Linksys WRT54G2 router. The ATV connects to the internet and I can stream audio from my iTunes library on the computer to my ATV but the ATV does not appear in the devices list. Here is a list of things I tried.
    *Connected the ATV to my home network via wireless and wired
    *Turned the router, ATV, and computer off and on in every conceivable sequence
    *Disabled the firewall in Vista and uninstalled Norton Anti-Virus
    *Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
    *Allowed anonymous internet requests and multicast traffic in the router
    *Turned off AP isolation in the router
    *Captured network traffic to and from the ATV with Wireshark. It appears Bonjour traffic (port 5353) is making it to my computer. Interestingly Wireshark is telling me the Time-to-Live (TTL) is low or unexpected for the traffic from the ATV.
    This seems like a great product but it's going back unless I can get it to work. Please help.

  • IPod no longer registering in Windows or iTunes

    I am registering this as a new thread as the previous two related threads are marked as answered and it is obvious from the content that they are definitely not!
    I have a problem with my 30GB iPod no longer registering in Windows or in iTunes since I updated to iTunes 7.1.1.5. In my case when I plugged in my iPod not only did iTunes not recognise it but iTunes froze and my whole laptop slowed until I forced iTunes closed.
    I have tried all remedies previously mentioned but no success. The 'reset all settings' mentioned in previous thead has not worked either but at least iTunes does not now freeze when I plug my iPod in.
    My iPod works with my daughters laptop operating on Windows 2000. Is this therefore a problem with the new iTunes and Windows XP? I notice all the other people with problems are running XP. If so is this a bug and can Apple release a fix?
    Dell Latitude   Windows XP Pro   with SP2

    I am adding to this thread as well because I am having exactly the same problem. Sorry if it seems a bit long, but I want all to have as much info as possible.
    Things started "not" happening after install of Itunes 7.1.1.5. I can no longer see my ipod in windows or itunes. It works fine for playing. It charges and everything, but it has become a big no erasable mp3 player.
    I have tried just about every option on all of the threads I have read on this forum. I have spent days on this and still no progress. Forget being solved, I hven't seen any positive results yet from any of these suggestions. I know they don't all apply to the same computers but I still have tried the 5 R's., delete USB controllers and reinstall, attempted new driver, but there wasn't one. I've tried every usb port available on the machine. I've tried the reset, the disk mode, everything on these forums. I think I might be missing steps but I'm usually pretty thorough.
    Did I mention, I've tried this on 2 different machines? Both had itunes 7.1.1.5 installed. I'm afraid to try any other machines, in fear of having the same happen and if it is itunes, I potentially will mess up the machine(s) for nothing.
    Any help with a new soltuion would be greatly appreciated.
    My last resort would be to call Apple, but from comments on the forum, it might not be helpful. And sending it back for a new one doesn't seem to make a difference after reading the forums.
    So please......any new ideas? Apple please help.

  • Each time I have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''. i recently Upgrad to 9.0.2. i already uninstall and install.
    pls help me.
    thank you in advance .

    when i start my itunes each time i have a message ''please wait while windows configures iTunes''.
    The iTunes desktop shortcut is an "advertised shortcut". When you click it, the first thing it does is check the iTunes.msi and determines (against the installation database in there) whether or not there's any files and registry entries and whatnot for iTunes missing on your PC. If it finds something missing, it'll do a repair install of iTunes, which is the "configures" message you're seeing.
    As to why it's always doing it in your case, and fixing it ... we'd better first work out if there's real damage to the iTunes stuff on the PC or if the shortcut/itunes.msi/registry machinery is just a bit confused.
    Apart from the "configures" message you're getting every time you launch iTunes, is it working okay? Are you able to sync, play music, use the Store and so forth without any trouble? Or are you getting other problems as well?
