Why doesn't my apple tv show up in my source list on itunes?

I purchased a movie and then realized it didnt sync on my apple tv. So I go to my computer to see that the apple tv isn't listed in the sources. So far I have unplugged the apple tv, restarted it, restarted my computer, made sure all available updates have been downloaded, and also factory restored my apple tv.....still it doesn't show up.
So how do I get my apple tv to show up in my source list?

  • Why doesn't my apple tv show up under my devices?

    I changed TVs...have the HDMI cable correctly set, but when I select that HDMI source nothing there. When I use the remote to reset, I get the visual of the itunes logo w/ the plug showing, telling me to connect to Itunes?? In Itunes...nothing under devices.

    I am only able to answer part of your question because I didn't understand the first part...
    Your ATV2 will not show up under devices in iTunes because it is not supposed to.  Remember, it has no hard drive or anything else which you are able to "synch." 

  • Why doesn't the dvd show up in my source list?!?

    Can I transfer my DVDs into iTunes and sync to my iPod?
    iTunes and QuickTime Pro do not support importing content from DVD videos.
    Heres the Apple link if you can understand it.

  • Why doesn't my lost iPhone show up on the 'find me' map?

    Why doesn't my lost iPhone show up on the 'find me' map?

    Many things can prevent this: the phone is out of battery power, the phone has been wiped out and is no longer connected to your mobile me account, and many more.
    The full list of possible issues according to Apple is here:

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • My Ipod does not show in source list in itunes

    I have recently downloaded itunes 7.7 (previously using 7.1) - my ipod is no longer showing in the source list in itunes although I get the usual clunk clunk sound when I attach it to the PC.
    I have tried to re-set unattached from the PC and attached to the PC to no avail.
    The only thing that I can think to do is to uninstall the ipod software and itunes and re-install both - but I will have to get some CDs first as I have a lot of tunes in the itune library which will be lost if I delete itunes.
    Can anyone suggest anything else which may help please??
    Thanks.

    I am having a similar problem. I have done the "5 R's" and even had my iPod replaced with a new one by apple (suspecting they couldn't solve the problem). But even now, with a completely new iPod, Windows (Vista) recognizes the iPod (as it did previously), but iTunes does not. The iPod displays that it is connected, but does not appear in the iTunes source list! Then, as soon as I disconnect the iPod (as there's no other way) then suddenly it appears and several error messages come up saying: "Jarad's iPod cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." !!! This is so fustrating!!!! Is there anyone out there who can help?

  • Games and podcasts are showing up in my source list but won't transfer

    My son just upgraded from an ipod shuffle to a nano 2nd gen. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. He bought a game and got some podcasts. They show up in the source list but won't transfer to the nano. I have tried restoring the nano but that did not help. Any suggestions?

    Make sure to enable podcasts on the iPod nano. When you plug it in pick the iPod nano in the source list and then click on the podcasts tab. Then enable the transfer of the ones you want. I believe that the games are only playable on the 5th gen iPod not the nano. Sorry about that

  • Why doesn't my iPad mini show as a device in iTunes?

    I just got a new iPad mini and was planning to sync my iTunes library to it.  I've never had issues with syncing my iPod and I understand how to sync and choose playlists.  BUT: when I connect my iPad to my computer, the iPad never shows up as a device detected by iTunes.  ALSO: It will not allow me to copy over any music manually.  I would prefer to not use iCloud, as the iPad and the iPod are the only Apple products I own. I have already downloaded my purchased iTunes onto the iPad, but really would like to grab some of my imported files as well! 
    The only thing to note: when I last logged into iTunes on the computer, it found an update.  However the update did not complete and gave me an error.  I've tried multiple times to update it, but it keeps erroring out (does not say what the problem is).  Other than this, could there be any reason why iTunes on my computer doesn't detect my new iPad mini??

  • A message is marked as unread - so why doesn't the Inbox count show it?

    There is a message marked as unread (the little blue ball) in an IMAP account's inbox.
    So why doesn't the Inbox show a (1) next to it to indicate there are unread messages?
    doug

    Thanks for your replies, people.
    I actually just created this IMAP account about a week ago.
    Yesterday I deleted a separate, POP3 account and recreated it as IMAP. At that time everything got re-indexed (at least the activity window was going on forever about rebuilding and reindexing this and that).
    Rebuilding from the Mail menu doesn't help.
    I might try removing and re-adding the IMAP account or the entire re-index later if I find this behavior annoys me too much. Will that lose my replied-to indicators?
    So anyway, what I am seeing is not normal? If you go to a message and mark it "unread" does your Inbox for that account go up by 1?
    Thanks,
    doug
