Songs bought on iMac doesn't show up on Apple TV

I have a Apple TV (160 gb) and has set it up to sync with my iMac, after the first sync everything in my iMacs library was available to my ATV. But when I've bought a new song on the iMac, it doesn't show up on the ATV. I manually have to sync it to the ATV to get it to work and store it locally on the ATV. Anyone know why my songs are not being shared?

OK, better late than never... Needed to sync the ATV with my iTunes library for this to happen.

  • Itunes movie doesn't show up on Apple TV

    My movie shows up on itunes on my computer. I can play it and send it to view on Apple TV but it doesn't show up on Apple TV's menu and all the other movies on my iTunes do. Any thoughts? (I have checked different lists on Apple tv).

    Do you have an iCloud account?  Sometimes they end up there.

    If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
    You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
    Store  >  Authorise this computer...
    This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
    If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required.

  • Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

    I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
    I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
    Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

    Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.

  • IMac doesn't show we have e-mail accounts

    Our iMac Mail doesn't show any of our mail accounts.  It want us to set up our mail account again.  Any suggestions?

    Did you ever set it up/configure it with your ISP's server addresses, port numbers, etc? If not, you will need to do so or it won't work. If you've done a reinstall or inadvertantly tossed out a needed file, Mail might think it's never been set up or the same thing can happen if you've changed ISPs. So, before you open Mail, call your ISP and get all the relevant information you need or check their website for instructions on how to set up Mail on a Mac.

  • Movie purchased on iTunes doesn't show up on Apple TV. Any ideas why?

    Hi,
    I just paid to rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook. Switched on AppleTV to sit and watch it, and it doesn't show up in my Purchased area in movies.
    Tried turning "home sharing" off, then back on again to reset it.
    Tried logging out of my account, into my wife's, then back to mine hoping that would 'refresh' it.
    Still nothing.
    Am I doing something wrong.
    P.S. The reason I didn't rent it thru AppleTV is that it was trying to charge it to my credit card, yet I have credit in my iTunes account and want to use that instead (hence why I did it thru iTunes on my macbook instead)

    You rented the movie, you didn't purchase it.
    Assuming you have now let it fully download to your computer, look under the computers section on the Apple TV.

  • Messages on iMac doesn't show attached images. OK on iPhone.

    When someone sends me an iMessage with a picture attached, I get nothing on my iMac. No picture and no text. Any messages before or after the missing message are okay. Quitting and relaunching doesn't help. Rebooting the computer doesn't help.
    I can sit my iPhone next tot he iMac and watch the messages come in at the same time. When someone sends a picture, the iMac just sits there with no activity while the iPhone receives everything.
    Anyone else having this issue? Is it possible this is a feature and not a bug?

    Yes. As I said, I receive all messages both before and after the picture message, but not the picture message or any text sent with the picture. Again, this is only on the iMac. The iPhone gets everything.

  • Imac doesn't show display half of the time.

    Sometimes when I boot my G5 1.6ghz iMac up It starts up fine. Most of the time however I get the chime but no display. Today for example I have tried to boot it up probably 30 times, but now after the 31st the display flashed gray and everything loaded like normal.
    I had been doing alot of reading from these forums and other sources and inspected my capacitors or whatever they are called on my logic board but they don't seem to be swollen or miscolored or anything. Is there something I can do to fix this problem because everything seems to be running fine other than the display not always working properly.
    Thanks in advance.

    "Is there an alternate way to run the hardware test?"
    No. The Hardware Test is on the system DVD that originally came w/your computer. You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

  • The toolbar at the top of my desktop is no longer white and doesn't show the little apple symbol

    The toolbar on the desktop is no longer white and is missing the apple symbol. How do I correct this?

    At the most top right point of the screen hover with your mousepointer: an icon of two small arrows will come visible, click that and the maximized application window will shrink and your "normal" desktop will become visible.

  • My external hard drive doesn't show anymore

    Hello Everyone,
    I hope you can help me. Today I wanted to put new data on my WD hard drive, I have it for almost a year and always worked fine (it's just USB, no power necessary). But my External HD was almost full so I deleted the "time machine" back-ups. Now, my Macbook Pro or iMac doesn't show my WD in Finder. I can find it in Disk Utility but only for a few seconds. Can someone please help me by giving some tips or own experiences? Thanks!

    If you want LR to show the full path of a directory tree as it is on an actual drive, you are going to have to fool it into showing it to you.
    a) Place a COPY of a photo, ANY photo, in the directory/folder that you want to show as the root of your folder tree in LR.
    b) Using "Import Photos from disk" import ONLY the photo that you placed in the 'root' folder, by DOUBLE-CLICKING on it so that only it is imported.
    c) After the import, your folder structure should now look the way that you want it to in LR, matching the actual drive structure from the root upwards.
    d) Using LR, delete the photo that you used as a placeholder. The LR Folder structure should remain intact.

  • Answer security questions option doesn't show up when reset password

    I restore my iphone 5s then i can't active it because of activation lock.
    I don't remember my apple id password, so i go to reset it but the answer security questions option doesn't show up (my apple id is [email protected] with no backup email).
    how can i reset my password now.

    Hey dunglv,
    It sounds like have tried resetting your password but do not have the security question option and do not have a rescue email account setup. Use the following article to contact Apple for assistance with your account:

  • My Macbook Pro Retina's serial number does not show up on Apple's warranty check page?

    My Macbook Pro which I bought around 2 weeks ago doesn't show up in Apple's warranty check website it just says:                                              
    "We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again, or contact us.'"
    Currently I do not have any problem with the machine. But I always like to check the warranty in any product when I buy it and it got my attention what is said. An important detail is that I bought it from an Apple Authorized Reseller. I have try also registering from webpage to register my devices and this showed up: We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again.

    Firstly, is your Macbook Pro a new one.   The apple registration site is now closed and the details are usually sent to Apple via the sales slip or seller.   Have you checked to see if the serial number on the machine itself matches that number you provided to Apple?
    At this busy busy time of the year you should also expect delays but in the event the situation continues you will need to get on to Apple Support.   Can't tell where your location is so go via ...
    Contact Apple for support and service  
    find your national flag and proceed from there.

  • HT3819 Bought new iMac & moved (or thought so) music from old PC to new Mac. Now several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; , I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac Shared folder. How do I move & retir

    Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • A song I bought is on my iPod Touch but doesn't show up when I plug in my iPod to my computer. Why?

    I recently bought a song off of iTunes. It shows up on my iPod Touch, but when I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't show up with the rest of my songs. I tried deleting the song directly from my iPod by swiping the screen (which I normally do) but the delete button doesn't show up. When I try deleting other songs directly from my iPod by swiping the screen, the delete button comes up. Why is this happening? How can I get my song to show up on my computer? How can I delete the song?

    It worked! Thank you!
    But how come it didn't work when I first plugged in my iPod into the computer?

  • Song doesn't show in ''bought'' list

    So i bought a song on itunes and downloaded it on my brand new laptop. I want to send it to my iphone but i know that if i sync my device, i will loose a ton of songs that i didnt buy on itunes but imported from my cd's. I know there's a way to download it directly from my iphone but when i search for the song on itunes store, it says it's already bought and won't let me download it. And when i search into my ''bought list'' it doesnt show and there is at least 10 more bought songs that doesn't show. I'm starting to think i should go back to android because of how complicated and problematic is apple so HELP!

    Open the iTunes Store on your phone.
    Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase on your computer.
    Tap More from the bottom navigation bar.
    Tap Purchased to go to your Purchased page.
    Tap Music.
    Once you've located the music you are looking for, tap the download button. Looks like a "Cloud".
