My Apple TV sees my photos on PC but not my iTunes library?

I am in Dubai and my iTunes account is a US account. I have a very new Sony Vaio running windows 8. I have a brand new apple TV. I have a Dlink Router that goes into a Sitelink extender/repeater in the living Room. As the TV is in the living room i am signed into the repeater. I have set up home sharing on both Laptop and ATV.
I cannot see my iTunes library. BUT the very strange thing is that I can see photos from my PC on Apple TV (Sony Library) but the iTunes library doesn't show up. I am using same iTunes account for TV and Laptop.
Things I have done
1. Turned off Kaspersky
2. Turned off Windows firewall
3. Un-checked IPv6 box in Network Adapter settings for both wireless and LAN
4. Restarted ATV, Itunes, and Laptop numerous times
5. Looked to make sure Bonjour is allowed for firewall
6. Read several dozen articles
I have about 6 hours sunk into this thing and am considering just taking it back.

Managed to get this fixed tonight. Followed the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 to recreate the library file from the xml file and all looks good now!

  • Podcast on IPod Photo 4th generation but not in ITunes.  How to delete?

    One would think that it would delete with Sync, but no.

    Is your iPod set up to sync podcasts and other content automatically? If so, navigate to your iPod's Podcasts configuration pane in iTunes and remove the tick mark next to Sync Podcasts along the top of this pane.  Then hit the Apply button, which will then remove all podcasts from your iPod.  Re-apply the tick mark and again hit Apply to resync your desired podcasts iTunes back over to your iPod.
    This has happened to a few users recently, but as to why I do not know.

  • I tried using Apple TV on a TV in another house. After connecting to the Wi-Fi, I can access iTunes but not my iTunes library. Any ideas how to fix?

    I can't stream from my iTunes when on another TV in a different house. Any solutions?

    Actually it's quite a logical query when you think about it.  People are used to Slingbox type devices now.
    Without arguing about it, I don't think Slingbox works with iTunes material.  Regardless, it's a piece of hardware that I suspect has very few users due to the cost of the box and really, who needs TV garbage that much that you need to beam it to another location?  If streaming iTunes material over the internet were possible, I think a vast number of more people would be doing it and in doing so, would be "hogging" throughput. 
    *** you pointed out, most providers I've used limit uploading speed to less than 0.7Mbps . So, it would be a NO-GO right from the start.
    What amazes me about this thread is that someone would even think up the scenario.  Definitely thinking "outside the box".  Keep it up and you might come up with an idea that FaceBook will pay a billion for.

  • The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme. I have the latest IMac with plenty storage and ram

    The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme including premier elements and organiser. I have the latest IMac  with ample storage and ram

    I believe I have solved the problem.  I have 16mb ram so I went into photo
    preferences and raised to 75% what is available for photo
    I also reduced the cache from 6 to 2.  The last two sessions the coloured
    ball has not appeared.  Hope this might be usefull  to others

    Correct.
    Photos are not in iTunes library.
    iTunes simply sync photos from folder or albums to the iPhone.
    You use Windows system software to import them from iPhone to computer.

  • Apple, Pfft!!! (Another iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes post)

    How in the world does Apple market the iPod, etc... as if 10-year olds and grandmothers can operate the technology, when having viewed these message boards for 10 hours yesterday, it seems as even the tech savy people who can make a computer out of two pieces of bread and a piece of bologna have to wrack their brains to make it come a step closer to actually working. Blah!!!
    Anyway, the problem that I am having is the problem that a lot of other people are having and seems to be the main theme at the moment.
    I am unable to have iTunes recognize my iPod. My PC will once-in-a-blue-moon recognize the iPod as its own drive in Windows Explorer, but mostly all I get is the big freeze. Every time I connect my iPod to the USB, all of the programs cease to operate until I unplug it. I am not having memory problems either.
    Here's what I've done. I have updated the iPod Updater to the 06-23-06 version. I was able to get it to update the software on my 60GB iPod. I got all excited only to then have it give me several error messages 1) an internal manager error and 2) some unable to dock or something like that (sorry I'm not at my home cpu.) Once while I was doing the 4-hour battery charge my iPod came up in the source list in iTunes, but I have been unable to have it be rerecognized.
    I've unistalled and reinstalled iTunes and the iPod Updater over 10 times and have gone through the 5 Rs as well as all of the steps on
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 (My iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes)
    I've even messed with msconfig and tried a whole bunch of other suggestions. It doesn't seem that Apple has a fix for this problem and we are all left with paperweights.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks you all and condolences to everyone who is going through this same problem. I swear what happened to plug and play. Pfft!!!

    You know they are probably going to search me out and crash my computer for posting this but i had the same problem with iTunes. i spent hours, went through the 50000 "R's" and changed my settings and formatted and reset and reloaded and then i tried Realaudio. it found all the songs i had loaded into iTunes and put them on my shuffle first try. you can get Realaudio at <www.real.com> Let me know how it works...

  • Why am I finding this when I run disk utility? ACL found but not expected on "Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/Users"

    I am finding this when I run repair disk permissions in disk utility:
    ACL found but not expected on “Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/Users”
    Why is there an access control list on parental controls on my MacBook?  I don't use parental controls and I am the only user of this MacBook. I'm an old guy too, so it's not my Mom putting controls on the MacBook! ;-)
    Thanks!
    MacBook Pro 9, 2
    System Version: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 12.5.0

    From the article I posted a hyperlink to in my 1st post (at bottom): You can also usually ignore any "ACL found but not expected..." message. These messages can occur if you change permissions on a file or directory; they are accurate, but generally not a cause for concern.

    Windows Phone 8.1 is so full of surprises and opens the Windows Phone faithful up to a new world of apps.
    Video editors and
    file managers are just some of the new app categories possible thanks to Windows Phone 8.1. We’ve seen an official video editing app from Microsoft already, but today we finally get Files – the official file manager for Windows Phone.

    I was filling a form online, then I got to where I had to upload a Microsoft document but when I clicked on upload document I only had the option of uploading photos and videos, but not Microsoft doc. Please help.... How do I upload Microsoft doc  and other related office documents?

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

  • HT3819 can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?

    can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?

    That depends on where the movie is.
    If it is on a computer, it must be in iTunes to be able to stream to the ATV.
    If it is from an online streaming service, then it does not need to be in iTunes on the computer.

  • HT201401 I changed my apple ID, it shows on my computer but not on my phone. How can I fix it?

    I changed my apple ID, it shows on my computer but not on my phone. My still has my old apple ID, how can I change it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Amy.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    It sounds like this iPad was purchased second hand.  If so, you will need to contact the original owner, otherwise your iPad will remain Activation Locked.

    Have been taking photos with my Ipad and sending them to email address and FB.  For some reason it will now send photos to FB but not my email address.  What could be the problem?

    Does your email provider have a limit on the total file size allowed on their server? It could be that emails with photos send in the past are still on your email server. They might even be in the servers trash folder. If the total MB of those emails exceeds the amount allowed then no additional emails can be received. Try using a web mail page to check and edit what's on the email server.
