Why won't apple TV show up in Devices on itunes?

Hi all. I know this has got to have an easy answer......
But here's my problem. I bought 2 movies on my apple TV and they won't show upu on my itunes account on my MAC. I have home sharing on both. But there's NOTHING listed on the column on right of itunes - there's NO device listed - In fact the only time I have a device shown is when I physically have them connected by USB cable. On the Apple TV it shows to be on, but nothing is listed there on that menu. Like I said I have a MAC and so i don't think i need this Boujour program. Can anyone help me? I'll note that under Itunes -> perferences -> devices appletv is NOT listed - so I'm not sure that's a problem or not.
Please help. And yes, I think I'm current on all versions and updates.
Thank you!

Why won't my iPad show up under "devices"in iTunes?

I have followed all the procedures, checking cables, ports, powering off laptop and iPad, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
My iPad only says "syncing will start when HP computer is available". I was able to sync before the latest Windows8 version was downloaded a couple of weeks ago.

Go into the control panel and look for 'add/remove programs'. Find one named something like 'apple mobile device support' and uninstall that. Reboot your computer then plug your iPad in and see if it self installs the driver.

Why won't Apple show in my Common files?

Why won't Apple show up in my common files when I try to update my Iphone

I assume Canon 70D came after Lr4 was no longer being fitted with new camera support (i.e. when Lr5 was released).
(feel free to double-check that assumption - if wrong, then forget the rest of this post..).
Remedies:
* upgrade to Lr5, or
* convert to DNG (using free Adobe Converter).

Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

So there are no apps at all on your home screens? Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you don't see anything after that, take a look at all of your home screens and folders to see if something is hidden. It that doesn't work, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Why won't Apple support Flash?

I posted this same question on an Adobe Flash forum and the answer I got was that Apple has to approve Flash for its operating system.
If this is true, why won't Apple do this? Not supporting it means we, the customers, lose out on a great deal of internet content--which we simply can't view in the Safari mobile browser.

As a non-techie user, this is seeming like a chicken-and-egg sort of thing: the Apple people point to Adobe. Adobe people point the finger at Apple.
In either case, I and other users seem to be on the loosing end of things.

Please show us where we might see a copy of the Adobe Flash Player for IOS then, and we will know who's the chicken, and who's the egg.

Why won't my macbook show app store

Why won't my macbook show the App Store ? I have uninstalled itunes completely at least 3 times....

Try downloading and rerunning the 12.6.7 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361

HT202636 How is it that apple allows you to permanently delete photos, but not books. Some books are a blight, and one has buyer's remorse, and they should be obliterated? Why won't Apple allow this to happen? We can do it with photos? And iI think music?

I want, for whatever reason, to be able to permanently delete, not just hide, books and PDFs from my iCloud? Why won't Apple let me? Beg pardon from Apple if I'm mistaken, but don't think so.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

Why won't Apple register the serial number for my ipod?

Apple won't register the serial number for my ipod purchased at a Walmart. Also noticed there is no settings icon in the upper left corner and can't connect to my own internet connection at home. Any suggestions?

Purchased new. Did not try to register thru iTunes. Just wanted to hook up via my wi-fi connection at home. Why won't Apple register my serial number without hook up to iTunes?

Why won't Apple let me set duckduckgo as my default search engine for safari?

I am using a iPad Mini and Safari only lists three options for a default search engine (google, bing, yahoo), all of which lack privacy. I would like to set my default to duckduckgo and would prefer not to modify my iPad illegally or use secondary apps (duckduckgo app). Why won't Apple just let me modify my default search engine manually? I quite enjoy Safari and don't like wasting space with other browsers on my iPad.

No browser can insure privacy.
The options Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Period.

Why won't Apple admit the problem with 6th generation nano power button?

The power (sleep) button on the 6th generation nano is obviously faulty and poorly designed. Why won't Apple step up and make it right and issue a recall to fix or solve the issue so many people are having? Apple, do you hear us? Make it right! You know it's wrong! If a power button fails after a couple of years, that's a sad design. Shame on you!

No, they don't hear you posting here. My button is working fine after 3 years.
This is primarily a user-to-user technical support site. You've wasted your time here.
Go down to Contact Us at the bottom right, get Apple's address and right them a letter.

Why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?

So why won't Apple do not manufacture keyboard with combined trackpad?
Same size like numeric keyboard, but without numeric buttons and model with wire or wireless, i'm just curious why they haven't manufactured this kind of product yet.
I have iMac Early 2008 (Upgraded with 128 GB ssd) and Macbook air 2014, sometimes i feel odd carrying separately keyboard and mouse if i want to plug my macbook with IPS display, so it would be lot help if they were combined.

Have a look at this (I've not used it and have no idea whether it's any good):

Why won't Apple let a screen recorder on the App Store

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't Apple activate the FM receiver feature of the Broadcom BCM4335 chip?
I paid for it, it uses less energy, less bandwidth, during emergencies, we would have radio access & FEMA would like it activated.
I asked an Apple tech on chat and they said there is no FM capability on the phone. I asked if my iPhone has a Broadcom chip and they ended the chat. I had to give them my phone number twice, but they never called back with me back to answer the question. According to NPR the chip is activated in other countries.

could it be because the iphone6 don't have an Broadcom BCM4335 chip?

Why won't Apple TV accept my AppleID password?

Why won't Apple TV accept my AppleID password?

Same here. When I want to sign in to iCloud I enter my password as requested which then takes me to the Apple Terms & Condition screen, so I hit the agree button, then it says connecting but then takes me back to the Terms & Condition page. It keeps repeating the same thing every time I hit the Agree button.
