Apple TV

Options
Being the lonely saddo that I am, I have had to buy myself my own Xmas pressie...:rotfl:

I already have an Ipod Touch, 3rd Gen. I bought myself Apple TV. But it doesn't appear in devices in iTunes. Or under shared. I can download trailers etc on the TV, but when you are on the main screen it doesn't show anything under computers.

Anyone have any suggestions?

    In my one (Old Version) you need to from the Apple TV, connect to Itunes library on the computer. Its in settings then conncent to library (Or something along those lines) on the Apple then goto your Itunes and it will ask for a 4 digit number thats displayed on your TV once in it should sync up.

    Yes, one of the first things I checked. It's 10.1.1.4

    I have reset the Apple TV, and turned Home Sharing off and back on again on both the Apple TV, and my PC in iTunes.

    Both are connected to my home network, but there is nothing showing under computers on Apple TV screen.

    Still trying...:rotfl:

    edit; now I can stream video from my Touch to the tv. I start the movie running and press the Airplay icon, so that's a step on...
  • As mentioned previously you should first go to settings on your Apple TV and then choose Computers where you can add a library. It will give you a number to enter. I have an old one but did not pick it straight away.

    Anyway one thing I did find really useful is the remote app on my iPhone but works on ipod touch and iPad too. Much better when you need to type something in like a search or account details. Also better for controlling rewind and fast forward.
