No apple tv icon in itunes

I done all troubleshooting I could find. I have two apple tv's. Both of them do not show up in ITUNES

AppleTV 1's should appear under Devices when they are recognised by iTunes.
AppleTV 2's do not appear under the Devices category, just to confuse you. They require Home Sharing to be set up on the units and within itunes, no 5 digit code entry is needed. They do not appear as Devices (except when connected to computer for restoring an AppleTV using a microUSB lead).

Many thanks for your help on this. The instructions provided with the tv box were typically difficult to follow perhaps because Apple try to cover all languages etc. I also found the control on my iPad that pulls from the bottom of the screen and allows the iPad to control the tv. Thanks again for the help. Best regards,Brian.

Itunes 10.5.3 lost my Apple TV icon: Help!

itunes 10.5.3 lost my Apple TV icon: Help!

This happened to us and through much trial and error, this is what we did to fix it:
Go to iTunes ----> Preferences -------> Apple TV and see if your Apple TV is listed as streaming from there. Remove the Apple TV. Close iTunes. Open iTunes. Your Apple TV should now show under devices and ask you to set it up. Enter the code and set it up with your iTunes. That worked for us. Good luck!

I cannot find the apple tv icon on my iTunes when I plug in the apple tv unit to my mac book

How do I restore my apple tv when I cannot get the apple tv icon to appear on my iTunes when I connect my apple tv to my macbook?

You have to use a micro-usb cable
Here's a manual with a screenshot. In iTunes 12, the ATV logo is just about in the same spot, but without the actual words "apple tv" next to it:

I bought apple tv but I don't see the apple tv icon on my itune

I installed apple tv at home, but I can't find hte apple tv icon on my itunes ?

If it's AppleTV 2 or 3 (black) and you're used to an icon in iTunes from silver AppleTV1, then the newer versions are different - no icon in iTunes unless restoring via micro USB to USB cable.

I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
Thank you, Ripley

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
iOS 5.1 Software Update

You can wait a while & update at your convenience.

HT4381 my mack book pro will not show the apple tv icon anywhere except in itunes, so i can't mirror my mac book pro

i am trying to mirror my mac book pro. I can't find the apple tv icon anywhere except in iTunes. I tried displays and not there either.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, and OS X Mountain Lion. If you have a compatible Mac, you have two possibilities:
1. Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
2. Use AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto the Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com
Both options will work. If your computer isn't supported, the only way to mirror the MacBook is by using AirParrot

Why apple 4s shows usb icon and itunes icon

my new i phone 4s is showin gusb icon and itunes on window..

You need to connect it to your computer and restore it in iTunes.

My latest OS upgrade (to 6.1.3) resulted in loss of all music on the iPhone. It is still on my computer intact, but cannot get it back on the phone. If I click on music under the iPhone icon in iTunes, it shows me only voice memos. Help!

after upgrades, suddenly no music is on or can be synched to the iPhone. It is all there on my computer but cannot get it to synch back. I tried copying over older itl fils t no avail.
If I click on music under the iPhone icon within iTunes, it shows on a dozen or so voice memos. (also shows them under "Voice memos").
Itunes version is 11.0.3 (42)
Any suggestions?

From the requirements point of view, you can happily move to iOS 6. From the user tranquility pov, it's a crapshoot. Remember that MILLIONS of iDevices have been sold, a couple of those just this past Xmas season and hence all with iOS 6 preinstalled. "Many complain in the forums" is a number that ranges in the 10's or 100's: i.e., a minuscule amount of the total devices out there. And. of course, nobody comes here to gush excitedly about how well his iGadget works; everybody here (save those of us regular users who attempt to help, we're not Apple employees) has a gripe, grumble or complaint.
I can tell you from personal experience that my i5 with iOS 6.1.4 works as desired. All my colleagues' iPhones with iOS 6 work as expected. And we have a particularly flaky Wi-Fi environment thanks to our less than stellar netadmins.
But in the end, it is entirely up to you. Will you bite the bullet, or wait some more? Check the new stuff that came with iOS 6 and decide whether or not to risk it.

Can I use Apple TV to play iTunes from my iMac on my home stereo?

How does Itunes from my Imac connect to my home stereo using Apple TV?

Greetings;
When you launch the iTunes Application, down in the lower right hand corner, you see an icon and "Speakers". Select the Apple TV device and iTunes will then use the Apple TV as an external speaker.
You can also access your iTunes music and movies from the Apple TV menu. With your iTunes Application open on your computer, select "Computers" from the Apple TV Menu.
You'll also need to turn ON "Home Sharing" in the iTunes Application. You can find that setting in the "Advanced" menu option in iTunes.
Hope this helps! All the best...and Merry Christmas!

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer. This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either. This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed. How can I get it going again?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple Remote App and iTunes

Hi
I've got the latest software on iTunes and my Remote App for iPhone and iPad. I've noticed from tint to time that when selecting the source in the Remote App (I.e. whether to play music / films etc from iTunes or my AppleTV I notice the icon for iTunes DJ appears (icon is several CDs stacked on each other). This only appears very occasionally and I have no idea what triggers its appearance. I would have though it should appear there all the time.
Anybody have any clues as to what is happening and why?
Thanks

Hi,
I have had and fixed a similar issue;
Setup;
Linksys ADSL router/model (4 port wired and wireless)
LAN Network = 192.168.0.x
Mac Mini wired into the router (on same LAN)
Airport Express wireless (driving my stereo speakers and acting as a wireless client on the same LAN)
Apple iPhone 3GS wireless with Apple Remore app
iTunes 9.blah (last 9.x version before 10 havent upg yet, iTunes all configured to use airtunes, remote speakers and remote app etc)
Now It will all work fine and dandy at first then if i stop itunes (and the remote app disconnects) after a while (5 to 10 mins) the mac goes to sleep to save power.
The mac doesnt wake up again to accept the connection from the remote app.
So I found an apple support article (cant find it now) that suggested that I set the "wake on lan" feature, this wakes the mac and itunes if the mac has slept. Its in the system preferences / energy saver (its something like "wake on lan" or "wake on network")
This fixes it for me.
Cheers

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.
