Tv shows menu does not appear in ATV 2

The 'TV shows' menu item does not appear in my brand new Apple TV 2.  I have rebooted a couple of times.  Any help appreciated

Thanks for the answer.  After more research I realise that as I'm in Australia and there are no TV show rentals here that is why there is no TV Shows menu item.  This is despite the fact that the Australian AppleTV 2 site shows a screen shot of the Apple TV menu with 'TV Shows' on it.  When you read the text it does not mention TV shows. What I find most annoying is that there doesn't seem to be a way to access the Itunes store from the ATV2.  With ATV1 I could watch a TV show and if I wanted to immediately buy the next episode or the whole series I could do so from my ATV1 iTunes interface.  Now with the new ATV I can watch a show through home sharing if I have already purchased it but if I want to buy the next show I have to get up from the TV room, go to the study, buy the show on my iMac and then wait for it to download to stream to my ATV2.  Is this user friendly progress?
While I understand that ATV2 is for rentals and that there is no hard drive storage, I can't believe that Apple couldn't come up with an interface that allowed the ATV2 to access and browse the iTunes store and then download purchased items to the iMac for streaming.
As a, hopefully temporary, solution I have reconnected the ATV1 to a different HDMI input, and synced only unwatched TV shows.  This will allow me to then purchase new shows (or movies), which will be stored on iTunes for later streaming via ATV2.
Am I missing something or is this the only solution?

  • HT202213 I own toshiba laptops. Both computers have the latest itunes software. However the 'show menu' does not appear on the screen?

    I own toshiba laptops. Both computers have the latest itunes software. However the 'show menu' does not appear on the screen?

    Thanks for the response diesel. I dont think I clarified my question very well. I'm trying to do home sharing between mine and my wifes computers. The intructions say:
    Log in as the same user on each computer.
    Ensure both are current version.
    Choose the correct list in sharing ie Music
    Then in the 'show menu' at the bottom of the screen, choose items not in my library.
    I do not have the show menu to select any songs.
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers

  • TS2972 Home Sharing "Show" menu does not appear

    Can anyone tell us why this does not appear in our itunes window, "In the Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window"?
    The shared library appears, and all the music, but there is no Show menu and no way to import songs anymore and we can't for the devil figure out why. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

    I have the same problem... last time I saw the home sharing icon was when I hit the "done" button, and ever since the home sharing icon is missing from my Itunes and I cannot find it anywhere on my Ipod. Itunes "help" was useless, what is going on, why doesn't this work??

  • The "Show" menu does not appear at the bottom of ITunes like the help topic explains?

    I am connected to another computer on our home network.  They are signed in with their apple id, maybe that is the problem?

    Doublechecking. Is the library for the other computer showing and selected under SHARED in the source pane off to the left of your iTunes screen, as per the following screenshot?

    Click on Application Console under "Portal Anywhere" Admin Tools. Select com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl and click on show. Refresh and restart the services.

    Hi,
    and you should then iron out this minor inaccuracy, which I found in your source code, for example here:
    <div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="hays.html">HAYS</a>
            <ul>
              <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
              <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
            </ul>
    All your "first" entries have to show a '#", like this:
          <div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">HAYS</a>
            <ul>
              <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
              <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
            </ul>
          </div>
    after that you can link to the individual subgroups. See here e.g. (screenshots from my German DW):

  • Sometimes ESS menu does not appear

    Hi,
       Sometimes when the user logs into the ESS the ESS menu does not appear
    . This happens only sometimes and when we restart the ITS and ask the  
    user to log in again the menu appears.
    I looked at the access log of the ITS and found the following entry there : access with invalid random key.
    Any suggestions will be very helpful.
    Below are the technical details  :                                                              
       ESS is being launched through the ESS menu 'PZM3'.                   
       ITS 620 patch level 16, HR 470 patch level 45, Basis patch level 54.
    Hi, I know that it is a weird problem but any brain storming suggestion would be helpful.

    Hi Kapil,
    - check access log of ITS if the request was received
    - check if other flowlogic services like i.e. systeminfo work
    - check with a HTTP sniffer what was send to the server/client
    - check the output of view source in browser
    - make sure that no network device (proxy,loadbalancer...)  leads to the random failure
    - check trace files of ITS
    Just some ideas.
    Regards,
    Klaus

  • HT1619 menu does not appear when pressing the menu bottom from the apple remote

    I got a apple remote but the menu does not appear on the computer when pressing the menu bottom!?

    Prior to Lion, it used to invoke the menu of the FrontRow application.  FrontRow is no longer available with Lion.  The menu button will work with apple TV.

  • My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple tv first generation.  How do I restore my main menu?

    My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple TV first generation, how do I restore my main menu screen?

    When I turn on, it asks for language choice, then it asks for 1080i, then it asks for network choices.  I choose my network, then it asks for my network password.  I enter the password, then it say it does not connect to network, and if I hit menu on remote, it goes back to network selection.  I can not get to main menu to see my setting for the network, because there is no menu. 

  • Airplay menu does not appear on ipad

    The AirPlay menu does not appear on the control menu on my iPad (iPad 2).  I have gone through each step of the troubleshooting provided by Apple support but the menu still does not appear. I have tried to connect my Apple TV to two separate networks with an Ethernet cable and the menu still does not appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any further suggestions beyond the troubleshooting guide?
    thanks!

    Hello shearinrx,
    Try to reboot Apple TV, reboot router, also reset your device. Guide to reset device: (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Then, after that go online to: speedtest (You must be online for this to work on YOUR WIFI) Click "begin test" and it will test download and upload speed of your WIFI. A modern home can vary; an average WIFI speed is download 1-20 Mbps, upload .5-15Mbps. If it is in that range then you should be fine.
    Take care,

  • When iTunes is opened the menu does not appear properly but script does

    for the past 2 months whenever i open my iTunes it opens, however not properly. I am able to see all of my songs in my library but the actual menu does not appear. I have tried reinstalling itunes multiple times as well as reinstalling quicktime. I have no idea what else to try please help!

    Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.
