My ipad2 won't sync with Apple tv or let me airplay

MMy ipad2 won't sync or AirPlay to Apple tv

Then your problem may well be a network problem rather than just showing photos.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes.  Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7).  Cable connection.  What am I missing?

    My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes.  Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7).  Cable connection.  What am I missing?

    I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

    you have to go to your atv's settings and remove the sync setup with the in the atvs eyes "old" computer
    before you can add the "new" computer as a sync computer
    an atv can only be set to sync with 1 and it don't know the "old" computer is not just off

    iPad2 won't sync with iMac and only my iphone4 shows in the devices window on my iMac.  For some reason it will not detect my iPad via my wireless network!   The iPad will sync when plugged into the Mac however looses connection and disappears from the device window when unplugged.

    You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
    If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
    Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
    Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
    You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

  • New iTunes videos won't sync with Apple TV (1st Gen)

    I have two Apple TVs (1st Gen) that have been working wonderfully.  I've had no problem in the past downloading videos from iTunes even as recently as a month or two ago.  However, after upgrading both my OS (10.8.2) and my iTunes (10.7) my most recent download (a series subscription) won't sync.  I'm ruling out a problem with the Apple TVs specifically as it is happening with both.  The message I'm getting is "[SHOW] could not be copied to Apple TV because it cannot be played on this Apple TV".  This is the same message I get whether trying to sync the HD (720) or SD version.  Thoughts?

    You can re-download SD content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer, uncheck the preference to download HD in the bottom right corner.

  • My ipad2 won't sync with iTunes on my PC so I can back it up

    I Always have synced my ipad2 with ITunes on my PC to back it up. This week when I opened ITunes on PC it would not show my device as connected so that I could back it up. Can anyone help? I just updated to 8.02 could this be a problem? Thanks

    When you get back home, try different USB ports and/or different cables, just to rule out any mechanical issues.
    Then try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.  Sometimes there seems to be a driver issue, where the up to date driver doesn't install but iTunes thinks it's there. The easiest way to get it on your computer is to remove the programs that use it and reinstall iTunes, which will automatically reinstall the driver when you plug your iPad back in.

    As I already had Windows 7 x32  installed on my MacBook and just upgraded to Windows 8 x32 it is difficult to say whether you can directly install Windows 8 x32 or have to do the upgrade Windows 7 x32 route.
    I would read this thread that applies to the installation of Windows 8 on non supported Macs.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4897066
    This is for getting Windows 8 x64 installed but it may work for Win 8 x32 using the switching of the CD's from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
    I initially used my Windows BootCamp 3.0 drivers on the my Snow Leopard disc after using BootCamp 3.0 to install Windows 7 x32 so I would try using those 3.0 Windows drivers first and then upgrading to the Bootcamp 4.0.4033 drivers after you have booted into Windows 8.

  • My hard drive crashed on my apple computer recently. I have a new one, but it won't sync with apple tv1, and I want to retrieve my photos from teh appletv1. It appears in devices now, but won't let me go any further with it. Help

    The hard drive crashed on my apple computer and I lost a lot of photos. I want to recover them from my apple tv1, but the computer won't seem to pair up with the apple tv. The Apple tv does appear in devices, but it won't let me go any further. The 'apply' button is a pale grey colour and you can't click on it. Help!!

    there is no facility to recover your photos from the appletv.
    the only way to link the appletv to your new "system" is to remove the existing itunes link and then link it to the new itunes - this will delete all content from the appletv though.

  • Aperture Won't Sync with Apple TV

    My Aperture photos do not sync automatically with my Apple TV. If I select an album on Apple TV, the album will load, but I cannot get all the albums to sync automatically, even overnight. I have both the Apple TV and my Mac set not to sleep. I'm using Aperture 3.3, Mac OS 10.7.4, and Apple TV 5.0.2 software. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

  • Gmail won't sync with apple mail

    My apple mail no longer shows any past or current gmail message. I have tried deleting the account and making a new one and I have tried reinstalling OS X (I am currently running OS X 10.10.2 and running Mail 8.2). This has been going on for a couple days, I have not updated the system or anything, it just sort of stopped happening. If anyone had any ideas to how I can fix this I would be very grateful.
    Thanks!

    Clarification question - can you download e-mails or you can't see downloaded e-mails?
    Try re-indexing the mailboxes. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

  • I replaced my HD in my iMac, now my Apple TV (1 gen) won't sync with iTunes, I turned on sharing on iTunes now iTunes wants to stream everything to my Apple TV. I can not longer manually run sync in iTunes?

    I replaced my HD in my iMac, now my Apple TV (gen 1) won't sync with iTunes, it does not even show up in the device section of iTunes.  I turned on sharing in iTunes now my Apple TV shows up in iTunes device section and when I click on it iTunes shows me a streaming sync page as if my Apple TV were a gen 2 unit.  ITunes  wants to stream everything to my Apple TV. I no longer can manually sync my iTunes with my Apple TV.   In the Apple TV menu when I select computers Apple TV shows me my old hard drive with a lock next to it, when I click on it I get a warning that if I continue I will erase the entire Apple TV.  Do I need to erase the AppleTV and start from an emty Apple TV HD?
