My computer/itunes won't detect apple tv

I'm using a mini usb cord, power plug not plugged in.
I keep re-opening Itunes(lastest version) but the Apple TV (2Gen) isn't showing up anywhere.
Help me, really wanna update my Apple TV.

Hello there, helell.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information in regards to AirPlay Mirroring and not seeing the mirroring icon:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
If you don't see mirroring options
If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the currentsoftware update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
There is some additional information to review in this article as well:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

ITunes Won't Detect My iTouch

Hey guys, I know there have been a few questions about this. Basicly, I upgraded my iTouch to v2.0 on my laptop that's running Vista. When I took it over to my desktop since I usually use that computer, iTunes won't detect my iTouch. Is there any way do fix this BESIDES having to put my iTouch in DFU mode? I've already got a bunch of apps that I really like and I don't want to have to reget them all.
Thanks

Ok, so I've tried to put my iTouch in DFU mode since all else has failed and well, that fails too. I hold the sleep and home buttons then let go of my sleep button, but when I finish it all, iTunes doesn't recognize my iTouch as an iPod in DFU mode. Then, when I try to turn my iTouch on or make something happen with it, nothing happens. I tried to redo the DFU steps and after reputting it in to DFU mode it turns on and my iTouch is like it was before anything happened. Can anyone help? I can't get my songs and videos and pictures and all that stuff on my iTouch cause they're all on my desktop and my desktop won't recognize my iTouch.
Thanks

Itunes won't detect ipod...

Hey all. I previously installed my ipod on my computer with all the software and it was working fine. It was working perfectly. I decided to return it to get a smaller version, but before I did that, I had to restore the factory settings. I later decided to keep the current ipod, but now itunes won't detect the ipod. I tried reinstalling the software numerous times and it didn't work. I also plugged it into a different usb port like the manual suggests but it still doesn't work. Can anyone please help? thanks.

i love you whoever posted the thread in this link!!!!!!http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=299830&tstart=90

ITunes won't detect my iPhone 4

I currently use a MacBook Pro with the 12.0.1 version of iTunes, however I also have an iPhone 4 and recently got an iPhone 5. In order to backup my iPhone 4 and put it onto the 5 i need to be able to sync, but iTunes won't detect my device (iPhone 4). I have completely uninstall iTunes so that I can install an older version that is compatible with my iPhone 4.
So my question is, what is the latest version of iTunes available that is compatible with the iPhone 4 software of 7.1?
All help is appreciated, thanks.

For anyone else having this issue on OS X this post will fix it.
Steps 7, 8 and 9 may not be required in Snow Leopard.

My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
2) swipe to power off
3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I have a new Ipad 2. iTunes won't detect it.

I have a new iPad 2, i need connect my iPad with iTunes to use. But iTunes won't detect it. I used lastest version iTunes and win7. When i connect iPhone 4 with my laptop, it's good. But it can't recognize iPad2. What's the probleme here?

I have a similar problem, but it began when i installed iTunes 10.5.2.11 on my windows 7 computer and tried to install the latest update to ipad2 software. Prior to installing the new itunes, i had been able to sync with itunes easily and as expected.
After installing the new version of iTunes - the ipad2 began to act strangely:
it did not charge correctly even when connected to OEM power adapter ("not charging" message appeared when plugged in)... this still appears to be an issue, though it does not happen all the time.
the computer no longer recognizes the ipad device (i have tried different cables and it does recognize my ipod nano)
i am afraid to reset the ipad for fear that i will still not be able to connect afterwards and i will have lost all the apps currently installed.
Any hints on how to go about fixing this issue?

IPod Touch 2g heats up iTunes won't detect it?

Hello there I have a iPod touch 2g it heats up when I try to charge it. Its not in warranty anymore sadly. I tried to do the DFU mode and iTunes won't detect it.
I have iTunes 10 and am running windows 7.
Please help

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
I suspect a hardware problem. Maybe a bad battery.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

So I backed up and reset my settings, updated iTunes and ever since my iTunes won't detect my iPhone.
I have tried all the troubleshooting options, uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes twice, and it's still not showing when I plug in my phone.
MY phone keeps restarting, won't allow me to text, won't allow me to turn on my iMessages.

ITunes won't detect firmware 4.3.3 for iPhone 3GS

I've read about the problem where it doesn't download it and you have to turn off the firewall etc. However my problem is that it just won't detect it at all. I check for updates and it says that my iphone is update to date which is running on a 4.2.1. I even tried to manualy do by downloading the firmware and going into recovery mode on the phone and shift clicking restore but then it says that the firmware is not compatible with my phone.
The phone is an iPhone 3GS not jailbroken running on 4.2.1.
Running Windows 7 64bit.
I have the most recent version of iTunes.
I did the whole virus protection being off, firewall off and changing the host file thing.
Nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what else to do here. I thought perhaps the 4.3.3 firmware wasn't for the 3GS but reading about it seems it is so I'm not sure why iTunes won't detect it.

Try getting it from here
http://osxdaily.com/2011/05/04/ios-4-3-3-download/
Download the version for your phone, then connect the phone to iTunes and hold SHIFT while clicking Check for Updates. You can then install the file you downloaded above.

Itunes won't detect all my music

Itunes won't detect all of the music on my PC there for I can't transfer all of it to my Ipad. Thoughts?

Think I found the problem. It appears that if you have music that is incompatible with the ipad and you don't have the automatic converter to AAC turned on itunes just stops there and won't load the rest of the music.
