My Apple TV connects to the computer but streams blips of sound.
I have re-booted everything, Mac, Router, Apple TV. I can connect to the Mac and see the library and such from the Apple TV. Apple TV apps work fine.
The issue is when I try to use the computer to play music through the Apple TV, it just gives me blips of sound every couple of seconds. The album art is there on the Apple TV, and the song time moves along as normal, but you only hear blips of the song roughly every 2 seconds. Movies I try to stream to the Apple TV from the Mac buffer forever. The Apple TV is only a couple of months old, and it has worked perfectly the whole time. I'm not sure what changed.
It has been a few days since the problem started, and I have even restored the Apple TV. The Airport Express plays perfectly from the Mac, so I don't think it's WiFi or iTunes on the computer.
I am completely stumped as to what this weirdness is... Any ideas or similar issues?

tmplHi pranoop,
If you are having an issue with your iPod touch not being recognized by iTunes when connected to your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.
Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective??? Thank you!
This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02. -

My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet. Currently using a D-Link Router and Shaw Cable in BC Canada.
Apple says "Connections through proxy servers are not supported". Would that be Shaw? How can I update the ATV
software without connecting to a TV and the internet? Can I connect it to my MacBook Pro? ATV worked very well in Arizona
using CenturyLink as an ISP provider and their modem/router. ATV software is 5.0.What happens when you try to connect? I would contact your ISP

My ipod wont connect to the computer but will connect to an ipod stereo
I have a 2nd generation nano that I have had for 2 years, but not used very much. It has always worked fine and still does however it wont connect to the computer at all. I have tried different ipod usb cables and different computers. It will charge and play on an ipod stereo. I would like to be able to hook it up to the computer so I can put more music on it. Has anyone had this problem before?
Update to the newest version of iTunes if that doesn't work
Try uninstalling the drivers,
Plug in your iPod
Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
that will bring you to the Computer Management
On the left hand side click on device manager
on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
right click and select uninstall
Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
Windows should automatically start installing them again
if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
and choose scan for hardware changes -
I was watching a video on the internet when my ipad screen suddenly went black. its not responding but still connects to the computer fine. I tried to restore it and it hasnt helped. it says its restored but the screen still wont function. Is it broke for good?
Is it possible that your battery has died? or that it's gotten too hot?
It is possible that the screen has died, or it could just be a glitch (my screen stopped responding once, eventually all I needed to do was give it a reset)
Since your device responds it means its guts are still good.
Is it still under warranty? If so and if the screen has failed it could qualify for a replacement. -

IPod connects to the computer, but not to iTunes
When I connect my 30 gb iPod to the computer, the "do not disconnect" screen appears on the iPod, but it does not show up on a Source list on iTunes nor does it update. The iPod does appear in the Finder, so I know the connection is made. I have OSX 10.4.11 and just updated to iTunes 8, but this problem occurred prior to the update (I was hoping the update would solve the problem!). What to do???
Yep add me to that list too, and I have tried the menu and select button on the ipod all that happens is the contrast goes very faint, tried the combo thing and it tells me it can't be installed on this computer, tried the 5 R's on the ipod frequent question page, all do nothing, totally un impressed with Apple for the first time, never had any problems but version 8 of itunes really needs bugging out before it was released, if anyone has any other ideas please do add them as I have just bought a whole load of music which is sat on my library and cant move to ipod...oh and I have also tried the create a new account and see if that works, well I could see the ipod but couldnt transfer the contents back to itunes - sooooooo unhappy can't do apple care as classic ipod is way past 2 years

My iPod classic is saying its connected to the computer but is not showing up as a device in iTunes?
My iPod classic is connecting to computers but then isn't showing up as a device in iTunes. Have restored iPod and tried various computers but nothing happens. What do I need to do?
To be of any assistance, I need the following info
Which version of itUnes are you using?
What is your iPod software version, as shown in the Itunes summary page? 1.1.2 or 2.0.4
Are you running Mac or Windows?
Have you tried the Hard Reset?
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
