TS1453 there is no "look for apple tv's " in preferences in itunes

Hi i cant connect my itunes and apple tv together , it doesnt come up in devices and when looking in preferences it does not show the tab to" look for apple tv's" can anyone help

That depends on how you set it all up. If you chose the "connect to iTunes" option then you should be able to sync content to the hard drive on the Apple TV. If you chose the "add shared library" option then you can only stream to the Apple TV.

  • "Look for Apple TVs" is missing from iTunes10 prefs.

    based on apple's kb http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453 :
    Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected"
    I don't have the ATV in itunes 10.1 (10.6.5):

    I do have it in itunes 9 (10.4.9):
    !http://www.gballard.net/apple/Atv9.png!
    I recall some time back I unchecked "Look for Apple TVs" in itunes 9 so it didn't keep trying to update, but since updating to itunes 10 it appears broken.
    I tried to read through this previous thread but it went all over the place.

    I suppose I could erase/restore the ATV and get them talking again to upload 130GB of content...

    I booted off an external FW of an Erase Start From Scratch 10.6.5 (OS only) install I use for maintenance.
    itunes 8 (default first time opened), 10.6.5:

    I booted off an external FW of a 10.6.4 clone of my full working hard drive (the source drive is the drive I am using now with the itunes 10.1 problem).
    The clone has itunes 9.2 and still shows the atv icon.
    The clone includes my full working itunes.
    itunes 9.2, 10.6.4 clone:

    This tells me the problem occurred somewhere in iTunes 10 and/or 10.6.5.
    sigh...

  • "Look for Apple TV" preference doesn't appear to work

    Have just set up Apple TV for a friend, without realising the HD is only 40gb. As a result his music and photos have instantly filled the HD and it seems to be constantly trying to sync (or at least the spinning arrows beside the Apple TV in the devices list won't go away)
    To solve the problem until I next get over there, I suggested he merely uncheck "look for Apple TVs" in his iTunes preferences, but the TV still comes up under the list of devices every time he opens iTunes. I have also got him to uncheck the option for synching music and photos in the tabs of his Apple TV device
    Any assistance most appreciated
    Kind Regards

    Chances are it's your internet connection.
    If you can play things under the Computers tab from your local itunes library without issues then your LAN is likely to be fine.
    AppleTV2  does not play well with slow/variable interent connections for rentals.
    Basically it calculates how much needs to download to flash memory to allow continuous playback without interruption at the rate your internet connection is delivering - if this rate drops due to more users in your area or perhaps throttling of bandwidth by your ISP then the calculation will be wrong and movies will stop/start.
    If you simply have a slow connection, then you have to wait for much of the movie to download first, this may take some hours.  On AppleTv1 the presence of an internal drive made this much more robust as the movie would stay on the unit until the rental/view period had expired.  It might take hours to download (so rent in advance of viewing) but once it was there it would stay until expiration.  AppleTV2 however does not retain the download and often if you restart the film it has to start downloading from scratch which I think is crazy.
    Please send feedback here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    I wish they had the option to 'lock the download in memory' until viewed or deleted - this would limit you to 1 HD movie rental at a time in order to keep enough free for other tasks/local streaming usage, but would make the device far more practical for slow connections.
    You should test your internet connection at say speedtest.net on the computer.
    Just as estimates I'd say:
    1Mbps - probably 12 hours+ to start watching HD, less for SD
    3-4Mbps - 20-30 mins to start watching HD, within a minute for SD  (my speed)
    8Mbps+ - watch within a few seconds
    If you go to Settings and in iTunes store options change to SD from HD you may find you can watch far quicker with any new rentals, but if you want HD it defeats the purpose.

  • I know this is the wrong forum but there isn't one for Apple Mail!

    Hello all,
    Forgive the slight mis-placement but.. I'm looking to move my Mail from my desktop Mac Pro to my Macbook Pro! Can anybody advise the best method that will maintain the current email archive and listings, thus being no change whatsoever once moved to the Macbook?

    Not sure what you are talking about? If the post, which I did not see, was posted in this forum (Mail and Address Book) then it was the correct forum. Your saying there was no forum for Apple Mail would probably have not helped get a reply.
    The correct and simplest method to move is to transplant both the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library from the one Mac to the other.

  • How to locate 'look for apple tv' command in iTunes

    i am trying to connect first generation apple tv to mac mini.
    following all instructions but apple tv does not appear in itunes devices list.
    cannot find how to configure itunes for 'look for apple tv' command.

    That depends on how you set it all up. If you chose the "connect to iTunes" option then you should be able to sync content to the hard drive on the Apple TV. If you chose the "add shared library" option then you can only stream to the Apple TV.

  • "Look for Apple TVs" is checked, but Apple TVs a No-Show

    My AppleTV refuses to re-unite itself with iTunes. In iTune Prefs the "Look for Apple TVs" is checked, but no Apple TVs show up in the box below. So I can't input the pass-code to get it syncing. It's weird because the network-password info in "Setup" and is correct working, the cables are all connected and secure, and the most current software is installed.
    I just thought of something! It was working fine, but then my older DSL modem was damaged and I had a new WIRELESS DSL modem installed. But I DID re-input all the new info (new network name, password, etc.) and everything has been working fine except this new problem with Apple TV. Any ideas?
    Tomorrow I will be installing Leopard OS. I wonder what effect this might have.

    Please don't start two threads with the same question.

  • Is there a release date for Apple pay in australia

    IS there a release date for Apple pay in Australia

    The SQL Developer team have always run a series of early adopter releases before the production release as we have found the community really get involved in these, which is of course benficial for everyone. We plan to do the same for the next release and will announce any early adopter releases here on the forum.
    We will be demonstrating features at Oracle OpenWorld, but you may recall that SQL Developer 2.1 was not production for that last year, so we have a lot to show.
    Unfortunately we are bound by Oracle policy and may not release any dates.

  • Looking for apple authorize reseller in usa for iphone 4S or 5

    I'm looking for apple authirized reseller in usa that sells unlocked iphone 4S or 5 , if any body will help with this topic , please.

    No. They don't. Amazon and eBay are not authorized sources for iPhones. The only authorized resellers in the US are agents of the authorized carriers. Pretty much anyplace where you can sign up for a contract with a cellular carrier you can buy an iPhone.
    If you want to carry the iPhone, you must be an authorized agent for a supported carrier. Then you go through the carrier to get your stock.

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • Is there a grace period for apple email address?

    Hey guys I was wondering if there was a grace period for apple email address yourname@'insert apple domain name'.com once you deactivate or delete it before it can be used again?
    for example with phone numbers for certain companies it takes 2yrs once the number is disconnected for it to be available to be used again.
    Which leads into why i'm asking this, as the reason for this is I had an apple ID/email address that i used when working for an apple reseller a few years ago and when i left i was asked to delete it. which i did but i would like to use the yourname part of it again with @icloud.com but its saying the email address is already in use.
    Now i know what you might say that someone else could be using in but thats is very unlikely as i have a very unique name plus i also know that apple in their infinite wisdom kept all address ending in @me.com and @apple.com active in the icloud change over to allow association between @me.com accounts and @icloud.com accounts and i believe the later is the cause of my fustration.
    If there is no grace period is there anyway to prove that i was [email protected] and delete that record so that i can setup [email protected] as the apple ID in question are different?
