New Songs Not Showing Up on Apple TV, Apple TV not in iTunes Sidebar

I have a first-generation Apple TV. I'm able to see my library of music fine, but new additions are not showing up. I've gone into iTunes to try and sync it, but the Apple TV is no longer appearing under devices. I went ahead and turned on Home Sharing, which I did not need before, and Apple TV showed up under Devices, but STILL, my new music additions were not appearing on the Apple TV and there is no Sync option. I turned off Home Sharing and the Apple TV disappeared from the iTunes sidebar. Where do I go from here?

Are the files in the library?
I notice that music and movie categories exist, and I can watch the movies I have converted using handbrake, and iMovie for home movies that we're added to my iTunes library....but... I want to sort this into kid movies, parent movies, and home video categories.  Apple TV will be so much more useful if I don't have to use my iPad to air play my home movies.  Browsing a single list of video that includes these 3 distinct functional categories is pretty lame.   Where is my apple freedom here?
I expect this fixed or more easily configured with the new Yosemite and iOS update. I hope there is an Apple TV update to make this better too.

    Hi Kevin,
    The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired.  For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

  • I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!

    I want to add new songs to my ipod.  When I set it up with itunes years ago I had a different computer that I no longer have.  Now it will not let me add new songs to my ipod shuffle without erasing everything that is already on it.  Help!!!  Is there any way around this?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

    my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11.  Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade.  The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress! 
    PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

    I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

  • I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

    I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play.  Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play.  How do I get it back?  Thanks.

    Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
    As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

  • Itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i deleted itunes and reloaded, it showed up for awhile, said it was restarting my ipad and now is not showing up again, any ideas??

    My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!

    Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera.  This is nothing new or different.
    When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
    Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
    Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.

  • I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?

    I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card? How would I know. Airport utility in my mac says no other devices connected.

    If both your MacBook Pro and iPod are unable to "see" the Wi-Fi network provided by the AirPort Express, it is most likely NOT that you are missing an "airport card," but the Express may be the issue instead.
    One quick test is to see if either device can "see" other Wi-Fi networks. If they can, then you can definately rule both of them out as the issue.
    By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can either device see this network? If not, then I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, check again.

  • HT1420 iTunes Match will not show on phone or ipad I have switched on iTunes Match on both units. PC is saying albums are in the cloud ?

    iTunes Match will not show on phone or ipad I have switched on iTunes Match on , On both units. PC is saying albums are in the cloud ?

    Hey there Dollyonline,
    Thank you for asking your question! It sounds like iTunes Match playlists are not syncing correctly to your iPad, even though you have already toggled iTunes Match off then on again. I would next turn iTunes Match back off, then close all the apps on the iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone then try turning on iTunes Match again to test the issue:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

  • Had to uninstall iTunes and download again because music file for ipod was not showing, then got this message after download "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes..help!!!

    I had to uninstall iTunes because when I connected my ipod and was in that file and clicked on music to add songs that file was empty. Once I downloaded iTunes again a box appeared that said The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes..............so then I unistalled iTunes and downloaded again 4 different times and got the same message each time. I am using a laptop Windows Vista 64 bit system...please help

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • My apple TV will not show my iPhotos travel photos in sequence. I set up a sequence of photos that STAY in sequence when viewing in iPhoto on my iMac, but they do not show in sequence when my Apple TV shows them on my TV screen. My Apple TV is MC 572C/A

    My Apple TV will not show my photos in iPhoto on my iMac in the same sequence of images that I can see when viewing the iPhoto photos on my iMac. This is especially frustrating when I try to show my travel pictures in sequence on my TV. I have to resort to showing them on my iMac which defeats the principle purpose for purchasing my MacTV. Does anyone have a solution?
    My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025)
    My iMac is Mac OSX version 10.7.5
    THANKS!
    Doug May

    I can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.

  • App store not showing purchases for 3 different Apple IDs

    I think there's something going on today (as others have mentioned and been told nothing is wrong surprise surprise)
    I have purchases on three different Apple ID's and every time I log in on three separate machines running 10.7 or 10.8 the Purchases page displays "You have not yet purchased any apps" when each account has definitely purchased 10-20 apps.
    I'm able to sign in without receiving any security warnings so it seems like more of a backend database issue (still a big concern).
    Is anyone else having similar issues? This just started this morning, I purchased an app with no issues last night.

    Yeah, I downloaded DayLite 4 about an hour and a half ago, but i cannot see any of my purchases.  I am on the phone with Apple support as I write this and I was told I had to pay a one time support fee.  Are you joking?  This is not a hardware issue.  I can't see my purchases from any coputer when I login with the correct credentials.
    I miss having my own installer.  I was asked how many purchases did I think I had.  I don't know exactly.  Not something I keep in my head, but now perhaps I should.  Now they're trying to talk to a senior supervisor because I complained about having to pay for support for Apple not showing the purchases in my account.
    Support guy is saying go to express lane to fix this issue https://expresslane.apple.com

  • New hard drive shows in Bios and device manager but not in windows explorer in windows 7

    I have added a new sata 500gig hard drive and it is recognised in the bios, but is not recognised by windows explorer, though the disk is showing in device manager as a hard drive . I have followed the example on the forum by going to computer management and rescanning disks, to no avail.
    Any ideas how I can get to use the drive?
    My comp is a packard bell and all the details are here:-  http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/?sn=845014390330&g=1400
    Hope someone can help.

    Thanks Dale (and everyone else). A cure! Sorry I did not reply earlier, but have been trying all known fixes to no avail... However. The second of your links in the last reply of yours (starting, New Drive or mapped network drive) worked with a slight variation in windows7, as follows is how I achieved joy.
    Right-click My Computer , and then click Manage .
    Under Computer Management (Local) , click Disk Management .
    This far is as above, then I'll add comments to the existing help to show my variant.
    In the list of drives in the right pane, right-click the new drive and then click Change Drive Letter and Path(s) .
    Here it still did not show the drive in the right window, but below it there is a second window listing disks and one of them unallocated and without a drive letter was my new drive.  IMPORTANT! This set of info may not be apparent unless you enlarge the box by dragging it, as the default only shows the top box (so I have missed it until now on all my searching). Right clicking on this gave a set of obvious choices to create a choice of drive letter, format and options (NTFS etc) and this created the drive for me. I am sorry I am vague on the box choices, but on right selecting a live drive it doesn't bring up the "unallocated" box choices again. Many thanks and I hope my variant helps anyone else with a similar prob. Thanks again - Rob
    Click Change , and in the drop-down box, select a drive letter for the new drive that is not assigned to a mapped network drive.
    Click OK , and then click OK again.
