New Computer can't see Apple TV

Hey Gang,
I have a mac book pro that I had been using to sync to my apple to tv. I recently bought a mac pro and did the migration to it but the new one can't seem to see the TV even though I marked in preferences for it too. Are their any suggestions of things that maybe I did wrong? The laptop can still see it but it is gonna be a pain if I have to keep disconecting the external drive that holds all the media in order for to use it on the laptop for syncing.

I was meaning more in respect of migrating your itunes library. It's not necessary to try to copy over the itunes application itself. Indeed it should already be on a new mac, you may however need to update it to 7.3.1. What you should have done in brief is move your itunes folder (~/user/Music/iTunes) from your old mac to your new one, connect the external HD with your music on, open itunes and ensure that the HD is selected as your music folder location. I'm assuming you have done this.
You will also need to turn of syncing between your old mac and the tv (it will only sync with one itunes library) and register your new one as the primary source (the pass code thing), you could then register your old mac for streaming only if you wished.
Everything should now be working for you. If not where do things start to go wrong for you/how far do you get.

  • Have new computer can't see lightroom history on imports from old

    Hi i have just imported lightroom photos I have been working on into new computer and cannot see any of the previous history

    Importing is the wrong thing to do.
    You need to transfer the  catalog file (and photos) from your old computer to the new computer, then in Lightroom open the catalog file.

  • New computer, can't see downloaded songs in iTunes

    I have a new computer, IBM thinkpad and when I hooked up my ipod to the newly downloaded ITunes it recognized my ipod (name and all!) but I can't see my songs in the itunes window. I have hit "sync" it shows updating, but my songs still don't appear in the window.
    The songs are ok on the ipod, at least i didn't delete them as i've done in the past!
    Help!!!!

    Just hit the arrow to the left side of the ipods name
    in iTUnes, then select "Music" under the ipods name
    That did it!!! Thank you so much!

  • New Computer - Can't See Video Now

    I bought a new computer, and transferred all my iTunes files over. But when I went to watch a video on my iPod the other day (a TV Show purchased from iTunes), my iPod no longer played the video - it just played the audio portion of the TV Show. The video file on my computer is intact and plays just fine. Is there a setting or something I need to do - to be able to see the video in these TV Show files again?

    Thanks for your quick reply!
    Okay, I switched the Video Setting to OFF, then sync'ed. But what happened next is that my Videos disappeared from my iPod entirely. The word Video was even removed from the iPod menu list.
    Next, I went back and set Video Settings to ON, and re-synced. The videos came back, but again only as audio, with an "album cover" for each of the TV Show. Do you think maybe there's something on my computer that needs to be adjusted...?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not entirely sure if this is what you mean, but the following User Tip may help you.

  • I can't see apple tv on my computer as one of the devices

    I am trying to use the home sharing feature, have confirmed that I am hooked up to the same wifi connection.
    I can't see Apple TV as a device when I open up Itunes on my computer.

    Apple TV will not show up as a device unless connected to iTunes for a restore. Home-sharing is separate regardless and you access your iTunes library via the computers section on Apple TV (provided your computer is on and running iTunes of course)

  • My computer can't see my iPod

    Hello good folks,
    I need some help!  Something happened to my iPod 2nd generation recently, and I would sure like some help to figure it out:
    My computer can't see it when it's connected via USB (doens't show up on My Computer (Windows XP) and
    iTunes won't sync up
    It never finished charging; it's been going for over 24 hours now and it still hasn't finished charging.
    Unfortunately, I'm in Cusco, Peru where there are no authorized Apple support and I'd really love to get it working again.  The music on public transportation here isn't exactly to my liking and I have a 45-minute commute each way.
    Anyone out there have any suggestions?  Thanks so much!

    We are all itunes users just like you.
    If you are transferring from Mac to Mac, then copy the entire itunes folder.
    You can also type :" move itunes library" into the google search bar for directions.
    Since you do not mention exactly what you have tried and what happened, it is difficult to offer much more.
