Restart of iTunes on Windows 7 loses connection (binding) with Apple TV.

I run Windows 7 64 bit. I use iTunes 64 bit version 9.0.2.25. I have an Apple TV (ATV) running version 3.0.1.
1. When I initially connect ATV with iTunes (entering the 5 digit code given by ATV) iTunes starts downloading contents to ATV.
2. ATV shows connection to my library on iTunes. Fine!
3. After syncing finished, all contents is shown on ATV. Fine!
4. I exit iTunes on my PC.
5. ATV now shows no contents (Capacity 144GB, Free 144Gb). Also, on the Settings | Computer menu, the previous connection to my iTunes librarys is lost. Instead it shows "Connect to iTunes". Not good!
Please advise on what to do. It seems to me that ATV no longer recognizes the new instance of iTunes as significantly different from the one that was just running. There can not have been any network changes (IP address etc.) since both ATV and my Win 7 machines where up and running all the time.
Question 1: What is it in the ATV software that deecides that it must establish a new "binding" with iTunes, i.e., that the existing one is not good and must be discarded?
2. What is it in iTunes that makes it look so different to ATV when it is exited and then restarted?
I really appreciate any help you can give me to sort this out.
Regards, and warm wishes for a Happy New Year

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • My iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger.  The apple icon keeps flashing

    my iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger.  The apple icon keeps flashing

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

    Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

    The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
    A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
    I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
    But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
    External storage for iPad?
    A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk  in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

  • Restarted my MacBook Air, just have a white screen with apple . Will not start up

    Restarted my MacBook Air, just have a white screen with apple . Will not start

    What version MacBook Air do you have?  Usually identified by the year you bought it, i.e. mid-year 2012, 2011, etc.  Also, what OSX are you running?  (please provide OSX ver number, i.e. 10.8.2 for latest Mountain Lion, etc.)
    Not sure I can help you directly but for others to lend a hand, they'll need to know this information to make a sound suggestion.  I see you're new to posting here so this will help you in the future.
    Good luck.

  • HT201413 I Installed iTunes on Windows XP laptop, connected my iPad 3.  When opening iTunes I only get the list LIBRARY STORE and PLAYLIST.  But I can not see a tab "devices"  where mu iPad appears??

    HI, I need help to transfer a vidoe from my laptop Windows XP to iPad3.  Installed iTunes.  Opened iTunes, Connected PC and iPad.  iTunes does not show iPad under a "Devices" category ? Why?? How do I transfer the vidoe.  PC does show pictures that are on the iPad when I open the iPad files.

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • ITunes causes Windows to lose contact with external hard drive

    I'm running iTunes on Windows, with my music library on a 160gb external hard drive. System has been set up this way for a couple of years with no serious problems.
    I recently received a used iPod which I successfully synched with iTunes a number of times. The last time I tried however, I got a strange error message (can't remember what) and the synching quit.
    Since that time, whenever I open iTunes, it causes Windows to 'lose' the external drive; i.e. if I check to see if Windows detects the external drive before I open iTunes, it's there. But when I open iTunes and attempt to perform any function (like play a song) I get the "Delayed Write Failed" error message, the lost track error message by the song titles, my music folder location has switched from the e:/ drive to c:/ and a check of Windows explorer shows that the e:/ drive is no longer there.
    Lots of tech friends of mine - and the tech support at Ximeta (the external drive maker) - are stumped by this problem.
    Any and all answers, suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
    PC   Windows XP  
    PC   Windows ME  

    that's an odd issue.
    by way of experiment, do you get the same sort of issue if you try opening a different sort of file (with a different application) that is stored on that hard drive? say, a Word document or something like that?

  • Remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC with the new IPad

    With the latest version of ITunes for both Win7 and the new IPad, I'm only able to use the new IPad to remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC through wired connection  ( ethernet cable ) to the wireless router. As soon as I connect my PC through wireless connection, the new IPad can not find my libraries.
    Is this a known issue or am I missing some settings?
    Thanks,

    Are you using the 64 bit installer?

  • How to install itune under Windows XP 64-bit professional with SP2?

    I have iPhone 3GS for over a year and I have set it up at my work computer (Windows XP professional) with latest iTune and it work great. Recently our IT has upgraded our system and all of our new machines has Windows XP 64-bit OS.
    I can't figure out how to install iTune under Windows XP 64-bit, to synch with my e-mail, contact and calendars any more?
    Can any one help?

    New machines? With XP 64-bit? Your IT department is being rather foolish, in my opinion, deploying new installations of XP 64 since Microsoft discontinued mainstream support for it (more than two years ago) and it's never really been satisfactory.
    Anyway, there is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and almost certainly never will be. If you search the iTunes for Windows forums for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete. Connecting to iPhones is one of the most problematic issues.
    Regards.

  • ITunes on Windows 7 don't synchronize with iPhone

    I have: iPhone 3GS, Windows Vista at office and Windows 7 at home. I sync iPhone at office without any issue (only outlook notes and applications), but plenty of issues when I try to sync at home with Windows 7 (mainly music, videos and photos): Error -69999, can't sync: too many archives opened, can't find the file... Most times I lose all the applications and info in iPhone and must start from cero.
