My atv 1 is not showing up in iTunes 11

I am using Apple TV 1 and ITunes 11. Apple TV is not showing up in ITunes. I tried everything possible but to no avail. Internet is working fine on Apple TV.  This is so frustrating. Anyone help please. Thanks

I had the same problem and thought an update might fix it. Finally, after searching forever I got ahold of a phone number for Apple and knew they would ask for money to talk to me and they did.  They wanted right at $20 for one time phone support.  I said I was interested and simply asked the man "who I could talk to for free in order to find out if Apple was ever going to update the ATV1st gen to make it compatible with Windows 8."
Now I do not know if you are using Windows 8 but my problem started when I got a new computer with Windows 8 and upgraded to iTunes 11.0 so I was never sure where the problem was; Windows 8 or iTunes 11.
Anyway, I was told that there was little chance Apple would ever make it so our 1st Gen's would show up when using iTunes with Windows 8. He went on to say how the 1st Gen is obsolete. I replied "it's the only one with a Hard Drive and I do not want to stream movies."  He went on to say he would sent a request to Apple and if they got enough request they might change their minds but it was doubtful.
I have purchased roughly 160-180 movies, two dozen TV series, and 150 or so Music Videos and now all my options for watching them on an actual TV are not great options. I have learned a lesson. DO NOT buy a product if future use of that product is dependent upon a companies mood of the moment. I mean folks who still have VCR's can actually watch those. I don't know why they would want to but they can. I am done with Apple.  I will now join one of the many "hate Apple" groups out there.

  • ATV not showing up in iTunes

    My ATV is not showing up in iTunes. ATV is working correctly on the television. search for ATV is set in pref of itunes. ATV shows up in choice possibility of itunes speaker choice (right bottom). Reinstalled itunes still no joy.
    Any suggestions to get ATV displayed again in itunes

    When I first hooked up my ATV, it came up under devices in iTunes, and I started syncing my videos on to it. For whatever reason it was taking ridiculously long to sync, so I figured I'd cancel and just sync a couple just to test it out. The second I changed my syncing preferences and went to click apply, the ATV disappeared from iTunes, never to be seen again. I've restored the ATV to it's factory settings, done software updates, rebooted my Mac numerous times, and still have nothing. Looks like we are all in a similar boat and any sort of help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Rented Video on ATV not showing up in iTunes

    I have rented videos on my ATV with no problem and transferred them to iTunes. Now, today, a rented video on my ATV is not showing up in iTunes. Is there a setting that could have been changed?
    Any ideas?

    I just spoke with Apple Tech. Apparently, you can not transfer a movie that was purchased on the appletv over to the computer. This seems odd to me, but that is the information I have just received.
    i think you've been given wrong information then.
    afaik, as long as the movie is not HD, you can sync them back to itunes (just the same as purchasing tv shows - and i know this works as i do it).

  • Not showing up in iTunes

    I've had ATV for a month now and I'm about to reset the ATV for the third time due to various connection issues. The first time the ATV was frozen and no amount of soft resetting cured the problem so I hard reset. This time I have full control of my ATV but it is not showing up in iTunes. The ATV is on the network and can see You Tube and all the web based things, it just isn't being seen by my iTunes. I'm going to hard reset again and then I'll wait 12 hours for all my content to be reloaded onto my ATV. It doesn't appear that I'm the only one with this problem here, but it doesn't seem that there are any solutions to this just yet. Let's see if a hard reset does the trick.

    Wifi can be broadcast over a number of channels (frequencies), typically they are channels 1 through 11 in the US, 1 through 13 in the UK & Europe and 1 through 14 in Asia. These are not necessarily discrete channels and a number will overlap. In Europe channels 1, 5, 9 & 13 are generally non-overlapped channels and would usually be the first ones to try, although channel 11 is often used as the default channel, presumably being a reflection of a dominant US market where channels 1, 6 and 11 are non-overlapped.
    Depending on your router, settings will vary, you should look at your manual to learn how to change these settings on your specific equipment.

  • Photo not showing in AppleTV iTunes 11

    Hi,
         My mac mini that I used for my media server crashed last week. was running snow leopard itune 11 and latest iPhoto.
         I then bought the latest mac mini, now running Mountain Lion, iTune 11 and latest iPhoto.
         Since then, on my appleTV 3Gen, under computer, I can see Movies Music and TV Show, but no Photos... Not sure what I am missing here.... Home sharing enambled everywhere (itune and iPhoto).
    Not sure if this is normal, I can't remember, but the aTV is not showing as a device in iTunes. All my other devices does (apple TVs 1st Gen, ipod touchs, etc...)
    currently doing a factory restore see if this change anything...

    I tried your solution - went ot File Menu, Homesharing, Choose Photos to share with AppleTV, closed iTunes, re-opened.... then went back to TV and AppleTV and drilled down through the menus. It took awhile to find where the Photos are hidden in plain sight! I THINK it is going to work. I still don't see any indications that my Mac iTunes is seeing the TV, but the photos do appear to be trasferring. The Photos selection is buried under Music as a sub-tier after the rest of the list, Artists, Albums, etc. Right now, spinning wheel, I think because it is doing a first time 'load'.

  • Another Apple TV not showing up in iTunes...

    Ok, this is the config: Apple tv Software 1.1, iMac Intel 07/2007 with OS X 10.5.1, iTunes 7.6. All of a sudden the Apple tv did not show up in iTunes anymore (after working perfectly before). I have another MacBook and a Windows Vista System, both have no connection problems with the atv.
    The atv can be pinged from the iMac, who does not show it in iTunes, without lag or packet loss. There is no firewall enabled. The atv connects perfectly to the internet and to the other computers (MacBook and Vista PC) via WLAN.
    I did anything described on the support page to try to resolve the problem. I resetted the atv, I re-installed itunes... i upgraded to Leopard (after the problem showed up)... not resolving this issue.
    Any clues?

    My ATV mysteriously disappeared from iTunes today as well. I'd been using it all weekend to play music. Today I come home form work and it has disappeared from iTunes.
    I restarted everything including the ATV. It will show up in iTunes at first but then I get a message that I might have a firewall enabled because iTunes can't communicate with the ATV. It gives me port umber to stop blocking. Then the ATV disappears again.
    No firewalls turned on (Leopards Firewall is useless anyway since you can't specify numbered ports to allow communication through.) Nothing has changed in my setup.
    I tired linking the ATV to my Macbook Pro Core Duo (G networking) and it kind of works. I got it to start syncing files but the progress bar in iTunes doesn't update. It stays stuck on one file. But the ATV is copying the files because after I lost patience I canceled the sync and found that some of the media had been copied over. When I tried to sync again I got the same error about a possible firewall blocking the port. After a few iTunes relaunches I got ATV to show up in iTunes again and it resumed trying to copy files over. Again the progress bar just stuck on one song.
    The only thing I can think of is some kind of major interference that is nearby and out of my control. The ATV shows full strength in the Wifi Signal. It can connect to the internet and YouTube. But its iTunes connection is just plain flaky. I've switched on interface robustness in the AirPort base station. Still nothing.
    Sorry I can't be of any help. Maybe more squeaky wheels get grease faster.
    I'm so glad this thing broke right before "Take 2"

  • No ATV purchased movies show up in Itunes

    I have a new ATV 3G.  Everything in itunes shows up great on the ATV, but I purchasedd 2 movies on the ATV, and they do NOT show up in itunes, and my ATV doesn't show as a device??  Why can I see Itunes in ATV, and not the reverse?

    ANyone resolve this?

  • I have registered with and validated click and buy but it is not showing on my itunes account

    I have registered with and validated click and buy but it is not showing on my itunes account???

    In iTunes these should theoretically be available on the iTunes Store home page.
    On the right of that page under Quick Links find Purchased section (if available for your country) and then choose the TV Show category and choose to download there - it doesn't happen automatically.
    If not in US you won't be able to redownload movies (yet anyway).
    If a title is not available there are reasons for this but you'd expect it to be if you've only just bought it.
    Actually I prefer buying in iTunes - I bought some TV episodes on AppleTV but cannot complete my season in iTunes - maybe i can't for that show (support were useless) but I do wonder if it's because the purchase was made on ATV.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

    Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
    The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store.  To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.
