My Apple TV 2 isn't recognised in iTunes.

Hi,
My Apple TV 2 isn't recognised in iTunes and checking the support pages the solution appears to be to get a Bonjour update download, only problem is where do I get this download as I can't find it anywhere. Second problem may be linked to the first, I am not able to connect to homesharing and when I try my ATV tells me that I am using the incorrect Apple ID or password which is not the case.
Please help as I am desperate to resolve these issues so that I can start enjoying my new toy.
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Rudegar,
Thanks for the post however the download you sent me to is for Windows (see below) I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac. Could anyone help with this as this is still not resolved.

My ipod touch will not turn on, charge, or isn't recognised by itunes or my computer. I've tried most common fixes. Please help!

Hi. Last week, in this hot weather, my ipod (8gb, 4g) started flickering , screen went white and then it died! Left it off for 24 hrs to cool down and eventually it powered up again. Thing is, I needed to charge it and so put it on a dock but it wouldn't charge. Tried a diff dock, ac charger and apple usb cable to my laptop and nothing. Battery nearly completely drained, just get the flashing battery with lightning symbol when I press the on button. Not recognised by itunes or my computer and all the advice says to charge it and try again but mine doesn't seem to be charging despite being on a charger for several hours! Tried pressing on and home keys together for diff periods of time (up to 5 mins once) but still nothing. Not even getting to the apple logo stage Can someone out there please help me??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Help! When attempting to go to iTunes connect I get "Apple I'd isn't enabled for iTunes connect.

When attempting to go to iTunes Connect I get "Apple ID isn't enables for iTunes Connect. What do I do now?

I just had this happen to me too. I read that my apple id (the one that I couldn't log into iTC with) needs to have a credit card on file. So I opened iTunes, changed to my problematic account, which was brand new, entered a cc, and then went back over ot iTC.
I still couldn't log in. But I tried creating the account again, and this time, it worked. So I had to go back to the "front page" of iTC and start over after I entered a cc on iTunes.
Hope that helps...

TS4062 My Ipod classic isn't recognised by Itunes and it won't sync. I have tried everything-please help!

I have the latest version of Itunes and I've tried reinstalling it but it made no difference. I recently got a new laptop (a toshiba, windows 8) and downloaded itunes onto it and logged in because I have the same itunes account on other laptops. Syncing is not a problem on the other laptops.
When I plug my ipod into this one, it just says its connected, thats all. Furthermore, I don't have the option to sync using the Devices tab in File because it isn't highlighted when I plug it in.
I have tried other things that have been suggested for problems like these, but nothing seems to be working. I'm wondering if its just because my ipod isn't registered or something. If so, does anyone know how to do that?
Thank you so much in advance for reading this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Did you also try to remove all Apple related software before you installed iTunes again? Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Do you use windows? Try uninstall itunes, restart your computer and then reinstall itunes?

My iTouch 4g isn't recognised by iTunes, computer finds it fine but iTunes won't?

I have an iTouch 4g and it's worked fine since I got it with iTunes. Just yesterday it suddenly stopped syncing to iTunes. The computer recognises it and pulls up a window asking me what I want to do next, but iTunes just doesn't realise it's there. We have no problems with the computer as far as I can see, but it is a bit slow at the moment. Don't know if that means anything?
The iTouch is on software 4:1 (October 2010 was the last upgrade) and the iTunes is the most recent upgrade.

Do you use windows? Try uninstall itunes, restart your computer and then reinstall itunes?

My iPod touch is stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by iTunes

My iPod touch gets stuck on the apple logo and won't let me get to the home screen. I tried plugging it into iTunes but It was not recognized. When I hold the power button down it tells me to charge it. When I do it gets stuck on the apple logo again. Please help!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod Shuffle not recognised by iTunes on Mac or PC

hi
i have just received a new ipod shuffle 1GB 2nd Gen and when i first plugged it in to my Mac it wasn't recognised by iTunes, only as a 'Volume' in Finder. I could see that it was formatted as FAT-16 which i had never heard of before, only FAT-32, so i thought i would format it for Apple (MAC OS extended - Journaled), but still it wasn't recognised. I can drag and drop files onto the Shuffle as though it was a hard drive, but nothing else. I have attempted to restore it with the Ipod reset utility, but because it isn't recognised as an ipod i get a message 'Plug in Ipod to reset it' and the 'OK' button is greyed out. I get just the same behaviour when i plug the shuffle into a PC - i.e. it shows in explorer but isn't recognised in iTunes or by the iPod reset utility. the shuffle has been plugged in for a few hours, so should be fully charged. I have tried formatting to FAT-32 as well with no joy, and repairing the disk in disk utility but it says that all is fine.
i would be grateful for any help to get my shuffle working!
thanks
nick

Same problem here, on 10.10.2 with iTunes 12.0.1, my iPod Classic 160 ejects immediately, on my mavericks mac with iTunes 12.0.1, all is well.
I've tried forcing iTunes not to run, by getting it into 'choose library mode' (holding down option key, whilst starting), and the iPod stays connected, but as soon as an iTunes library is chosen, it ejects. This leads me to think, it may be a system call that iTunes is using that has changed in 10.10.2, forcing the eject.
To Xavier, I don't see an issue with my iPhone wifi sync, although as I tried reinstalling iTunes to remedy the iPod situation, I did have to set that up again on the summary page.
I've also submitted a feedback assistant report, hopefully a fix will be coming...

TS1538 My iPod Touch isn't recognized in itunes.

My ipod touch isn't recognised in iTunes on the computer I always use to sync music onto it. (I can't see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
When I plug it in and I open up iTunes, the device isn't shown.
However, the device is shown in My Computer.
When I plug it into other computers, iTunes recognises my device. (I can see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
I've tried every method, except for Recovery Mode because I don't want to lose any of the files on my iPod.
I've done every method in the Apple trouble shooting manuals.
I need iTunes to recognise my device, help please.
- Omar
