Should my ATV3 show up in iTunes as a device?

Sould I see my ATV3 in iTunes as a device like my iPhone and iPad?  I have it linked with home sharing but not sure if there is something else I should do to link it up to iTunes on my iMac.

No. There is no syncing capability. It will only show up if connected for a restore

  • IPod charges, but doesn't show up as a drive, nor does it show up in iTunes or the Device Manager.

    I was given in iPod Touch 8GB (used) for my birthday on the 8th, but I still haven't been able to get any use out of it it. When I plug it into the laptop it charges, but it isn't recognized as a drive, doesn't show up in the Device Manager, and is not recognized by iTunes. I've tried plugging it into a different computer, using a different cord, re-installing drivers, re-installing iTunes - everything! It's also stuck in recovery mode, and I can't do anything to get it out. I've tried restarting it, but it goes right back into recovery mode, telling me to connect it to iTunes. It's driving me batty! If anyone can tell me how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! c:

  • My iphone 3g shows up in itunes but not my computer

    I have been able to download my iphone camera roll photos for years, but my iphone no longer shows up as a device for Picasa or under "my computer".  But it does show up under itunes as a device, and properly syncs my contacts to my gmail account.  I need to download my lastest pictures (200 plus) but can't.  Is it a hardware issue?  I am also experiencing antenna issues (poor quality, not total loss)

    If the iphone shows up in iTunes then the device is not the problem

  • Movies and TV shows sync with Itunes. TV shows disappear.

    OK-
    PLEASE be gentle. I am, new to the Ipad3 and even newer to Apple/Itunes in general.
    I have a TON of TV shows that i already personally own. I want to load these on my Ipad. OK, seems simple enough. NOPE.
    If i just drag them over to the "MOVIES" tab under my device in Itunes, the shows load fine and I can watch them on my Ipad. However, The Ipad will only play 1 title and then stop. Thats pretty stupid, especially because I am using the Ipad on a business trip hooked up to my hotel TV for when i go to sleep. I have to get up every 20 minutes ti press play again.
    So i read a tutorial to highlight all of the TV Shows and RIGHT click them and change them (meida kind) from movie to "tv show." Great, i do that, they change to TV SHOWS and they show up in Itunes under my device, under TV shows. BUT- where the heck are these TV shows on my IPAD?? I click "VIDEOS" and all i get are the MOVIES that i uploaded to the ipad. I do NOT see any of the TV shows. Where the HECK to i go to watch TV shows on the IPAD???
    Thanks in advance for any help. And remember, please be gente. Dumb this down to a lifetime Microsoft user. lol.

    Hi Johnathan-
    I appreciate your reply. Thank You.
    I *dont* have another category under videos.
    When I click the "VIDEOS" icon on the main screen, It just brings me to a list of my movies. There is no other option other than VIDEOS. I see *no* "TV shows" option anywhere.
    Am i really THIS dumb? and why does Itunes have Soooooo many freaking restrictions? Itunes alone is making me regret the purchase and return the Ipad. Every time i plug this thing in somewhere Itunes warns me that it is going to sync and erase whats on my ipad with whats on my computer (or vice versa). Its getting a little silly.
    Anyway, for the life of me, I can not get this thing to recognize TV SHOWS. If i load the TV shows into the MOVIES folder, fine. all is great. TV shows show up and i can play them. but when the TV shows go into the TV shows tab they disappear.

  • HT4061 My phone will not turn on. I did a hard reset but all that my screen will show is a picture indicating I should connect the power cord to iTunes (iTunes icon).I don't know my serial # and I do not have acces to my laptop

    My phone will not turn on. I did a hard reset but all that my screen will show is a picture indicating I should connect the power cord to iTunes (power cord symbol with an arrow iTunes icon).I don't know my serial # and I do not have acces to my laptop.

    The serial number has nothing to do with this.
    YOur phone is in recovery mode.
    You will need access to a computer with itunes on it to restore your phone.

    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences(PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.

  • How long should it take for a new podcast episode to show up in iTunes?

    Greetings, I have a podcast listed in iTunes and it showed up fine after they listed it. However, about 6 hours ago I uploaded a new episode (number 2 - woohoo) and it's not showing up in iTunes yet. Obviously when I fired up iTunes it downloaded it for me as I was subscribed but if you search for my podcast under iTunes podcasts it only shows one episode.
    The podcast is Duel Boot Radio, hosted on libsyn (http://duelbootradio.libsyn.com/) and the iTunes listing is at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=121788608&s=143 441
    Yes, if anyone does listen, we have a ways to go on our sound quality, etc.
    Anyway, is this normal for this type of delay before a new show appears in iTunes?

    Hi Scott.
    Some people are reporting problems with getting new episodes listed. Here are a couple of things to try:
    - Make sure you have the <ttl> tag in the <channel> tag
    - Include the tags
    <pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2006 10:51:21 -0500</pubDate>
    <lastBuildDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2006 10:51:21 -0500</lastBuildDate>
    in the <channel> tag
    - After you've uploaded your new .xml file with the updated info, PING the iTunes server with
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is your ID number
    You can also use the html address like this:
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=http://www.YOURADDRESS.org/YOURFILE.xml
    - And lastly, once you have downloaded the new episode in iTunes, PLAY it all the way to the end (you can jump to the end) so the date played shows. I believe this sends something back to the iTMS, and sometimes it helps to update.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

    I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
    Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
    The gist of what you need to do:
    Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

    How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

    i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully.  They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac.  Is this a synch issue?  When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased.  Is that true?  My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well.  Thanks.

    You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

  • Movies Purchased on iTunes via iOS Devices not showing up in iTunes on my MacBook Pro

    I have some 40 movies that I have purchased through iTunes on my iPhone.  They all show up on my iOS devices as well as my Apple TV but only 8 of them show up on iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I have read threads from other users that found a resolution to their problem by "unhiding" the movies through iTunes in the Cloud but my account only shows Manage Devices & iTunes Match, so that didn't help unfortunately.  I am runing the latest version of Mountain Lion and iTunes and I have gone to "Check for Available Downloads" but a window just pops up saying "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID".  Does anyone have any ideas or guidance on what I could or should do?

    Hello RepsolRider
    Go to the iTunes Store > Purchases, and then you should be able to see your purchases. Click the cloud icons to download your purchases. Also go to iTunes Preferences, go to the Store tab and make sure that Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases is checked.
