My apple tv can't find or connect to my itunes library

Hi my Apple TV can't find or connect to my library

Hi lassefromnora,
In order for you to be able to see content on your Apple TV from your Mac, you need to set up Home Sharing on the Mac. You can do this by following the steps in this article -
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd generation and 3rd generation) - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • Apple TV can't find my computer/ipad or itunes libraries of either but does find photo stream. (home sharing support all done, no fix) any idea's?

    apple tv 3, software: 5.2
    Using an Ipad2 , ios 6.1.2
    can't seem to share in itunes?

    Your Apple TV won't be able to access your iPad library. The reason that it will connect to Photo Stream is because it is pulling it from your iCloud account, not by connecting to your computer. Here are some things to consider (without knowing more about your issue):
    1. Are the Apple TV & computer with iTunes connected to the same network?
    2. Is iTunes open on the computer?
    3. Do you have Home Sharing setup on the computer and the Apple TV with the same account?

  • Defrag my hard drive on my iMac now I tunes can't find my songs in the iTunes library

    I defraged my hard drive now iTunes can't find the songs in the library. Not connected to the cloud yet. Any suggestions on getting iTunes to find the master copy of the songs so I can play them on my iMacs. I have the same songs on my I pad but I don't know of any way of transferring my music from my iPod to the iTunes library on my iMac. Any thoughts.

    Same problem here. In my case I suspect due to having been cleaning out duplicate music files when hard disk was filling at an alarming rate (as I watched.) No longer doing that but my cleanup must have moved essential elements and files.
    Anyone know how to get my purchased stuff, showing as purchased but with exclamation mark, back into itunes again?

  • Where can I find Music Videos in my iTunes Library

    I've recently converted my music videos to the "music videos" category under "Get Info" ~ "Options" ~ "Media Kind". Now the music video are in a separate category under Videos in my Ipod, the issue I can't seem to find them in my iTune Library. I've checked under "Preferences" and can't seem to find it.

    The one and only +music video+ that I downloaded from iTunes (it was free) is located (in iTunes) in the main Music library, sorted in the same way as all my regular non-video songs.

  • HT1495 If I have an IPHONE with my own Apple ID and my husband has his IPHONE with his Apple ID, can we sync them to the same ITUNES Library on the same PC??

    Confused....

    As long as you have iTunes logged in with your Apple ID, you can just plug your phone in and sync it, and all your music will appear as your Library (e.g. "Nolan's Music"). When your husband plugs his phone in, he'll probably have to log you out and login with his Apple ID, before he syncs his phone.
    The problem is that Apple IDs are accounts. Your phone is linked to your account, and his phone is linked to his account. I don't think you can sync them both while logged in to one of those accounts. Have you sync'd your phones before? What happens when you plug them in?

  • Can't find recently purchased songs in iTunes Library

    I've recently purchased a song when it downloaded I couldn't find it in the Music Library or the Purchased Library. But when I tried to buy the song again, a message appears saying that I had already purchased the song. Can someone help me with this issue?

    Hi - you are not alone in this. I've had the same problem, and apparently so have others. I'm also following the discussion:

  • My new apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching

    My new Apple tv can't find its bluetooth connection, just keeps searching,

    Seeing as MobileMe is being discontinued with no information from Apple as to whether or not galleries will be retained, there may be little point investing time in creating new ones from now on.
    Photostream alone will not cut the mustard.

  • Apple TV2 can't find my network connection after recent update?

    Why can't my Apple TV2 can't find my network connection after recent update?

    I had to update the software on my Airport Extreme then reset my apple tv and that resolved the issue for me.

  • HT204370 I registered a digital copy on disneymoviesanywhere and connected with my itunes account but can't find the movies on my itune account.  Just want to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

    I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere.  I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account.  I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

    Hey cptniemo,
    Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
    Download past purchases

    Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):

  • I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

    Hi all,
    I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
    I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
    Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
    Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
    I've tried both methods, and neither work!
    Here's what happens for each method:
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
    After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
    I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
    I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
    I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did. 

  • Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find it. It says that home sharing is not on, but it is. This was working perfect beofre the upgrade.

    Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find the computer, it says "turn on the home sharing". Both of these are on, iTunes and Apple TV, what to do? It was working perfect before update.
    Thanks in advance.

    Make sure the firewall and wifi router is not blocking it you can likely see if its the wifi router by connecting by etherent cable that would mean itsopen in terms of ports

  • HT1595 Apple tv3 can't find wireless network

    Apple tv3 can't find wireless network

    can it connect if you connect it to the router by wire?
    if the router is set not to broadcast SSID you have to manually type in the SSID
    if the router is set to use mac filtering then you need to add the mac address of the appletv to it's list

  • HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv.  I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.

    I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house.  I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer.  Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?

    Version:
    iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
    Are all the devices on the same physical network?  I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
    If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
    If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
    Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server. 
    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

    Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?
