"Music Videos" under "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu is missing.

I no longer seem to have "Music Videos" under the "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu. This occurred about a month ago now (early October). Does anyone know why? I have worked with Apple Support and I have reset my device to factory settings to no avail...
I actually used this menu option often but I might have been the only person who did since I cannot find any information on it nor does anyone seem to know it even existed:)... I am more curious to find out what has happended now than expecting a fix for it.
I have had a rough couple months with my Apple products actually...:(
Thanks for taking the time to review.
Regards,
Roger Delorme.

Having the same issues.....I have two 1st Gen Apple TVs and neither are showing on the Remote App on any of my devices as of Dec 24th. Everything is connected to the same network, have most recent updates to Remote App, software of devices, itunes. Rebooted router, computer, apple tvs....deleted the app, reinstalled...turned off wifi and homesharing, then turned back on and the Remote App will only find my itunes library and not the Apple TVs. Any help would be appreciated.

Music Gone from 1st Gen Apple TV after iTunes upgrade to 10.1.1 (4)

I use a 1st Gen Apple TV to store and play all my music throughout my home. It's perfect for that because I don't have to stream from my computer (as with 2nd Gen Apple TV) and can control the music from all over the house from the Remote App on my iPad and iPhone. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1 this week I synced my Apple TV with my computer to add some new music to it from iTunes. All of my music promptly disappeared from my Apple TV. It may have still been there, but didn't show in iTunes on my computer or on my iPad or iPhone remote apps.
My first thought was that I might have to do a restore on the Apple TV and then re-sync with my computer's iTunes. Before doing that, however, I simply re-synced all of my music to the Apple TV from my computer. It worked and now all of the music is available again.

had the same problem once
went to the appletv's settings and unlinked it with the computer
let it do it's restart and clear synced data
set it up to link with the same computer once more
and let it sync the data once more
haven't have issues since
but described the solution to many in this forum who had the same issue

How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video, and play those from same playlist through Apple TV? I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem. The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one. I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

1st gen Apple TV - SD TV - no color

I'm seeing only b&w with my 1st gen Apple TV connected to an SD TV through a component to composite converter. Why don't I have color?

Thanks for your response.
I was actually wondering about iTunes updates, not Apple TV. The problem is that iTunes does not show tabs for syncing my 1st Gen. Apple TV. I wonder if the problem is in iTunes.
My Apple TV does still remember music and photos that were previously synced, but I can't re-sync to add new music and photos.
I am worried that if I unlink and re-sync, I won't be able to get anything back, and will be limited only to streaming.
Thoughts?

1st gen apple tv.

I have a 1st gen apple tv. I have always and only streamed from my 1T TC. What has heppened is: it follows menus to the selected movie and when i select the movie, the 1st 1 second of video plays and then freezes. The audio continues for i don't know how long because i stop it. I have tried to sync a movie to it (wirelessly) and it tells me i have to open port 336(?)
1. Anyone know how i can fix the streaming? or how to open a port so i can try syncing...
I'd rather stream as i have 100's of movies to stream

Applications>Utilities>Terminal
sudo ipfw add allow ip from 336 to 336
sudo reboot
If this does not work, try connecting the Apple TV to the Time Capsule via ethernet.
WARNING
Before entering sudo reboot, save any open files. You will lose all changes during the reboot.
You will need an admin password. The characters will not show when entering the password.
Also, you could go to Settings>Computers>Your Library.
Then go to Settings>Computers>Add iTunes Library. A code will be displayed. In iTunes, go to iTunes>Prefrences>Apple TV>Remove.
After that, restart iTunes. Your Apple TV should appear under Devices. Select it and enter the code.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Using 1st Gen Apple TV on several Logins

Hi
I have a house guest that I have set up a separate login account for on my Mac. I have already setup my iTunes library so they have access to it, but no purchase rights, while on the machine. I have 2 1st Gen Apple TVs associated with my library. How can I enable the apple tvs so he can watch movies or listen to music from his side of the Mac?

More or less the same story here.
My Apple TV and my iTunes got along just fine until I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now Edit > Preferences > Apple TV no longer exists so it's hard to check "Look for Apple TVs". The Apple TV device doesn't show up in iTunes.
I, too, am afraid I'm going to lose stuff I bought with Apple TV that hasn't been synced with my iTunes library.

1st Gen Apple TV hard disc full.

My 1st Gen Apple TV is showing that its 144.63 Gb capacity is now full.
So, where am I supposed to store content that i want to purchase from the Apple Store in future?
All comments gratefully received.

You might consider getting an external FireWire drive to store video, then link the video to iTunes on your Mac, where your AppleTV can find it.
That is my setup, as I have about 700 gigs of video (I don't have cable TV and buy my shows from iTunes). It is a bit of a pain, as after watching the show (I have my 1st generation AppleTV set to store only unwatched shows), I have to copy the video files from my Mac's hard drive to the FireWire drive, then delete the file on my Mac, and relink the video to iTunes from the Firewire drive. But it works.

1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.

I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV. I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore. I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV. Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')

Hi clur,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Apple TV and the most recent iTunes 12 upgrade. If you continue to have issues with your 1st Gen Apple TV not showing up in iTunes, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Ive got a 1st gen apple TV wifi issues help please.

Ive got a 1st gen apple TV, had it about 4 years and I cannot get it work over wifi for the past 2 years. If its wired with network cable it works.If using wifi I either get no movies on appletv or sometimes it syncs and lists all my movies in Itunes but when I try and play any movies it says video format not recignized. Ive disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Apple TV. Navigated to Settings > General > Network. Click Configure Wireless.Selecte my wireless network and entered password then done. see "Connecting to wireless network" screen appears then "Connection Succeeded" I see IP address, Wi-Fi Address, and signal strength is strong all bars. Any ideas as to What the heck is wrong with this AppleTV.

Doesn't sound good if you've restore to factory from the diagnostics menus and are seeing this.
Have you unplugged from the main for a few mins and restarted. Disconnect any ethernet cables if you have them.

How do I get Faces in iPhoto to appear on my 2ed gen Apple TV. The appear on my 1st gen Apple TV with Photos and Events.

How do I sync Faces in iphoto to iTunes and then to my 2ed gen Apple TV so I can show Events,Photos or Faces on my TV? On another TV which I have connected a 1st gen Apple TV all three appear, so some how the 1st gen is sync'ing with itunes but not so with the 2ed gen Apple TV as I ony get Events and Photos on the TV screen.

To choose which photos to show on your Apple TV
File > HomeSharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV
The dialogue box that opens lets you select what photos to send over

HT3296 How do I navigate 1st gen Apple TV without ANY remote?

How do I (or can I) navigate 1st gen Apple TV without being able to use any remote?

You can use Remote app on an iOS device, however it needs to have ben configured first and that would entail using an Apple Remote.
If you have lost or do not have an Apple remote the new silver remote works with all units.
Some 3rd party programmable remotes may also have codes to use with other devices like AppleTV.

Hi, I have the 1st gen apple tv and suddenly when trying to rent a movie I only see movie trailors or my movies. What do I do to see the rental interface??

hi i have the 1st gen apple tv and suddenly when trying to rent a movie i don't see the rental interface. i did a factory restore and now i see movie trailors and my movies but not rental option. any idea what could be wrong??

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

HT1551 1st Gen Apple TV - Remote worked fine yesterday and today acts like it is unpaired. Is it possible to pair it again without a working remote?

My 1st Gen Apple TV remote worked fine yesterday and today acts like it is unpaired (amber flash when I hit a button). Is there a way to pair it or another remote now?
Thanks.

A 5 GHz network cannot reach as far as a 2.4 GHz one, nor is it able to penetrate walls and the like anywhere near as well, it is not therefor always an ideal solution. It can help avoid interference from neighbouring networks but it may not avoid interference from other household appliances. You might want to try another wifi channel or even temporarily move the Apple TV closer to the AP for diagnostics.

"Music Videos" under "Music" header on my 1st gen Apple TV menu is missing.
