My apple tv is not picking up my iTunes library?

I have my Apple tv all setup and working. it's connected to my wifi. However, it is not picking up my Itunes library. I have the right I.D. and password on. I've turned on home sharing on all my devices. I've reset my router and even turned of my firewall... Any other ideas? PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks

Unless you have a first generation ATV it will not show up in iTunes.  The 2nd and 3rd gen ATV's do not connect to iTunes that way.  They just connect via a service called "home sharing".  You never see them in iTunes.

  • The movies that I've purchased from Itunes do not all appear on my Apple TV list of purchased movies. Also one movie that is listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not appear in my itunes library. Anyone have a solution?

    Some movies that I have purchased from itunes and are listed in my itunes library arenot listed as purchased movies on my Apple TV. Also one of the movies listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not come up in my Itunes library. Anyone know why?

    Are you by chance signed in to differnt accounts on iTunes (your computer(s)) and AppleTV?  Is AppleTV connected to more than one computer?  When you are compairing lists of movies are you looking under the "Movies" button, or under the "Computer" button?  Where all of these movies purchased though iTunes? 
    NOTE:  The computer button only shows the content that is downloaded to your computer(s).  So it will not show all the content you have purchased.  Just all the content on the computer.

  • Apple TV does not connect to my iTunes Library

    Apple TV has worked perfectly for the past couple of years but over the past couple of months the same message keeps appearing "could not connect to "my" Library". I have checked the following:
    iTunes is up to date
    Home sharing is turned 'on' on computer and Apple TV
    Wi-fi is on and signal strength is very good
    Computer and Apple TV is on the same network
    Restarted computer, router and Apple TV
    Firewall is turned off
    Apple TV has been reset
    Apple TV works for You Tube and TV channel apps on my iPhone and iPad
    The Apple TV device is a 2 or 3.
    Computer is a Mac and is only a few months old
    Tired connecting with Ethernet cable which made no difference.
    What else could it be?????

    Hey mustangtony,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the Apple TV is having trouble with Home Sharing. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a few steps in here you have not mentioned trying.

  • My Apple TV won't connect to my iTunes library on my windows pc home sharing is on and iTunes is open

    I can't get my Apple TV to connect to my windows pc to play music through my iTunes apple remote has a similar problem

    Thanks for the advice. Just had time to retest everything with the latest software and firmware versions. Even with Windows Firewall completely switched off my Apple TV can not connect to my iTunes library. The ironic thing is that my PC can no longer Airplay to my Apple TV after the latest updates, so things are actually getting worse ;-)
    I even restarted my router as some posts seemed to indicate this fixed similar issues for others but sadly not for me.
    I can at least still AirPlay from my iPad to my Apple TV, which is the main reason I bought the Apple TV, and the NetFlix client on the Apple TV is still one of the best as it supports captions.
    I have seen another post from another Win7 64bit user with similar problems so not sure if there is a solution out there yet.
    I also have some Samsung products and they can not interwork either so the grass is not greener on the other side ;-)

  • Why is apple this stubborn about not creating a new iTunes library in my Mac without telling or asking me? Does it think i'm that ignorant?

    Why is apple this stubborn about not creating a new iTunes library in my Mac without telling or asking me? Does it think i'm that ignorant?
    After consulting all the forums, I see that Apple is not answering this simple question: so disrespectful!
    Please do something about it! All it takes is to write a little code: in the "Advanced Preferences (advanced????) give us an option that just asks you IF you want to create a replacement iTunes library before doing it! is this hard for you Mac guys????? To me, and to others, many, this arrogant attitude is just disrespect. Do you know the difference between making love and rape?

    OK, OK,
    I read a little. I just tried the "Music alias" thing. It seems to work!!!
    Thanks to whoomever wrote this.

  • HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

    HELP"   error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • A recent download the CD gets stuck and repeats.  I believe that this is a fault in the CD not picked up by Itunes.  Downloading again may not sort this out.  Who do I contact to tell this to.

    You don't need an international credit card, to be able to buy items from your country's store (you can't use another country's store) the card needs to have been issued by a bank in your country and be registered to your name and address. If you only want to be able to download free app from your country's store then there are instructions on this page for creating a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • My husband purchased a Mac and without doing anything, it is picking up my itunes library.  How can he get it to recognize his instead? I was told I needed to turn off wifi sharing in mine, but can't find out how to do that.

    What a ding dong, I put my entire question in the subject line.  First time user, sorry.  My husband purchased  desk top Mac, and without importing anything via USB cord, it automatically is picking up my itunes library. He closed out, and signed in with his user id and password, and it still will only pick up mine.  Someone told me it is because I have turned on "share wifi" in my itunes account, and need to turn that off first, but cannot figure out how to do it.  Any suggestions?

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.
