 TV not showing up as a device in iTunes

HELP! After the iTunes 8.0 update my  TV disappeared from my device list in iTunes, I checked for an update and nothing, I deleted iTunes and re-installed it and it sill didn't work! The  TV shows that my library is being synced so I'm not sure on what to do next.

then i would go into settings in atv
and if it see any computer it sync with i would remove the link
and then make remake a sync to the computer and type in the 5 digets
in itunes and see what happens

My iPod classic is saying its connected to the computer but is not showing up as a device in iTunes?

My iPod classic is connecting to computers but then isn't showing up as a device in iTunes. Have restored iPod and tried various computers but nothing happens. What do I need to do?

To be of any assistance, I need the following info
Which version of itUnes are you using?
What is your iPod software version, as shown in the Itunes summary page? 1.1.2 or 2.0.4
Are you running Mac or Windows?
Have you tried the Hard Reset?
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver Software.
Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.

Ipod nano is already "named" and it does not show up as a device in Itunes...

I have a brand new ipod nano 7th generation straight out of the box, but it's already named as "Kathi's Ipod". How can I change this name? Plus, I've already synched it with my Itunes account and that worked fine, but it does not show up in Itunes under "devices"????? Please help...

Apple TV (2nd gen) not showing up as a device in iTunes

Hi all,
I have this problem. The Apple TV (2nd gen) does not show up in iTunes under devices, and I really don't know why.
Mac OSX 10.6.5
iTunes 10.1
AppleTV 2nd gen with latest update installed
Network is a WiFi Airport Extreme (Mac and AppleTV are indeed on the same private network)
Airplay works, home sharing works fine. Remote App on iPad and iPhone works.
But the AppleTV is not showing up under devices.
I had a 1st gen AppleTV which I reverted to "factory settings" before unplugging. The 2nd gen ATV had the same name as the 1st gen at the beginning, but I changed it afterwards figuring it might be related.
Under iTunes > preferences I had the AppleTV tab. But I did read somewhere on Apple's site you have to "delete" the AppleTV from the list. So I did, and now the tab cannot be found anymore...
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance.

I seem to recall though that I have seen a screenshot somewhere on the web where iTunes showed the ATV 2nd gen as a device.
Not seen that, but the old ones have a logo that look (to me) like the new one, or at least a small darker grey than they are - they show up nicely in the iPad/iPhone Remote app though
If you are right it would be huge disappointment!
I believe I am correct as I've got new/old AppleTVs connected to 3 Macs and a dual boot Mac Pro currently, and the new unit has never appearede under devices.
.... I really HATE the interface organization right now. Why on planet earth do I have to go under "devices" -> "computer" -> "music" just to play some music?
You, me and many other AppleTV 1 users. I think they'd finally got it right in 3.02 for AppleTV 1 which is a much nicer user interface. Basically now the majority of the top level columns are unused by many people who don't rent but want to playback theit iTunes media.
I firmly believe Apple see this new AppleTV as a relatively cheap accessory for iPads/iPhones/iPods to show video/photos via Airplay on your TV without using a computer.
Secondly it's a vehicle for pushing itunes Store rentals, but for the majority of worldwide users they can only get Movie rentals, and Netflix is of no use bar in a few countries (US/Canada).
I would have much more preferred that a "music" tab (it also applies to all other tabs, movies, tv series and so on) and then just a list of all "home sharing" connected computers from which I could pick the one where the music is stored. Or even, and being Apple it surprises me they didn't implement it, just the list of the available music on my network, with a little tab indicating in which computer it is located.
Yes that would make absolute sense - a dynamic list of available content based on connected libraries that changes as new libraries appeared on/left the local network.
The new menu organisation is quite shoddy to me, ut many users new to AppleTV like it and rave about the devices not knowing what the old one could do - it's a good device don't get me wrong, but I still prefer the older units except for their power consumption and the fact I feel they are more likely to fail due to their high temps and mechanical hard drives.
But here I'm venturing FAR off topic.
Don't think so, it's a valid comment.

Thank you for your help anyway. I wait for confirmation of somebody else just to make sure...
Fair enough.

Apple TV not showing up as a device in iTunes on MacBook Pro

Having trouble with Apple TV - it doesn't show up in iTunes as a device, my iTunes playlists are not showing up properly, and I've tried everything I can think of (mind you, I'm not an Apple Genius).... please help!

To play your music on your AppleTV you have to enable Home Sharing in iTunes. Preferences>Sharing> share my library on my local network
Then on the AppleTV you have to login to the same Apple ID used in iTunes. Settings>Computers> turn on Home sharing
for more information go to Apple - Support - Manuals and select your AppleTV version.

My Iphone 5 is not showing up in my devices on Itunes and there is no option to sync.

My Iphone 5 does not show up in devices when I plug into my computer. No devices show up. I was getting a small box that showed the Iphone and wanted me to open it to view the files, which basically shows how much space is left. I tried draggin a playlist into this and it has a circle with a line in it and doesn't work. I expected to plug in and have it sync but no sync message appears and the phone is not being recognized in itunes. I have already confirmed that I have apple mobile support.

Have you tried this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

IPhone 4: My IPhone keeps in the "plug-into-iTunes-screen" after trying to update to iOS 5.0. The phone is not showing up as a device in iTunes anymore.

My IPhone doesn't turn on and keeps in the "plug-into-Tunes-screen" after update to new IOs 5.0 yesterday. I also tried to restore it, but it still keeps in the plugin mode. In ITunes the IPhone doesn't show up as a device anymore, but Windows 7 detects it as a camera. I started the problem diagnose via ITunes and it says "iPhone can't be found".I'm using the new version of iTunes.
Can anyone help me?

I have the exact same problem and have just logged on here to see if anyone can help also? My iphone is up and working but itunes won't recognise it as a device... just updated itunes aswell.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!!
