Not showing up in devices

Hi people,
I have problems getting my AppleTV to show up under "Devices" on my early 2007 MBP.
Most interesting part: It shows up without a hitch on my wife's early 2008 MB as well as on my totally new Mac Mini. I have made sure they are NOT associated with the Apple TV.
My MBP is able to use "AirTunes" on the AppleTV without any problems whatsoever.
The AppleTV is connected to the MBP wirelessly via Time Capsule.
I have done the following:
* Made sure OS X Leopard, iTunes, Time Capsule and AppleTV is up-to-date
* Rebooted AppleTV and my MBP several times
* Made sure the digits are shown on the TV before starting iTunes
* Reset the AppleTV to factory defaults
* Used Bonjour Browser (which show my MBP sees the AppleTV)
* I'm able to "ping" my Apple TV from the MBP (there's network connectivity)
* I've set the firewall to "Accept all incoming connections"
* I've moved the MBP closer to the TC, so it has the best connectivity (as seen in Airport Utility)
* I've read and tried the solutions suggested at these pages:

As you can tell, I'm quite desperate. For the same reason, I'm very interested in suggestions on how to solve this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Please Note: Before responding, I kindly ask you to READ AND UNDERSTAND what I have written above. I'm not looking for suggestions like "try rebooting your computer" or similar.

I started having the same problem recently and tried everything you tried to no avail. I'm wondering if the recent ATV update caused the issue???

ATV not showing up under devices in iTunes

I have synced this ATV with this Macbook in the past.
I am able to play music from my Macbook thru my ATV by selecting the ATV speakers instead of the Macbook's speakers.
I can play movie trailers on the ATV.
In iTunes>Preferences>ATV my ATV shows up and says it is syncing
I have updated my ATV and iTunes software.
However, it does not show as syncing on the home screen of iTunes and does not show up under devices on the left side. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re-pair your library with iTunes.
Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.

My iPhone is not showing as a device in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but still not showinh

I am unable to see my iPhone in the itunes window. I authorized the computer but it still will not show. Under devices it is not listed. Any suggestions?

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

I have a macbookpro. when I connect any camera to the mac it does not show as a device. How do I load my pictures to either iPhoto or Aperture? It worked before but just stopped working. Any suggestions?

I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?

Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery. I can go back to the IStudio here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be. Thanks for all the help so far. God bless.

ITunes is not showing up my device (Iphone4). What should I do?

iTunes is not showing up my device (Iphone4). What should I do?

Try searching for the app using Spotlight, if it finds it, it's just on another home page or in another folder. You can swipe your finger horizontally across the home page to get to spotlight and the other pages.
Do you have any restrictions set? You can disable apps from Settings > General > Restrictions.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
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
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My phone is not showing up in Devices,

I have just switched from my 4 to my dad's old 4S and need to plug the 4s in to gain contacts and music, but it is not showing up in devices.

Hello TMC66,
It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

ATV1 not showing up in devices

So, I HATE the ATV2 I bought some time ago, because the wifi in my house wasn't strong enough to support any decent streaming (I'd get constant buffering or music would get warped), so my boyfriend and I switched ATVs. I now have an ATV1.
I did a full factory reset, did all the upgrades, made certain my iTunes had all the latest updates, etc.
My ATV1 can see the internet just fine; my iTunes has home sharing turned on.
The ATV1 does not show up in devices.
I have re-done the factory reset
Turned off all firewalls
Checked and rechecked that home sharing is on
Both are on the same network
I get three/five bars on signal strength
Network test tells me that the test is "successfully completed" but doesn't tell me what the test results are
Airplay in iTunes can find the ATV no problem (but the audio comes out horribly corrupted [sounds like trying to watch TV when there's horrible weather interfereing with the dish])
Why can't I see my ATV1 in the devices? How do I get content onto it if it doesn't show up in devices?
Computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.8
All software completely updated on the laptop, iTunes, and the ATV

Ok, solved my own problem.
It doesn't show up in devices until after its been paired.
For anyone else having this issue:
On the ATV1
Go to settings > computers > add computer
At this point, you should notice in your iTunes library to the far right of the screen, next to where it usually says library, it should say Apple tv. Click that and enter the five digit code you got on the television screen. Answer all the questions.
Then go into the "add shared itunes library" option
Click on the apple tv (same place) in iTunes.
Enter the new five digit code. Answer any new questions.
Ta-da, home free.
