Q: have a 1st generation apple TV (the one with the hard drive)...

it sort of worked of & on...

when it does work it gets my music from my iMac & is able to download things from the store

but recently (a month maybe) it hasnt shown on the iTunes menu at all

 

so I reset it (back to original software)

I managed to connect it to my wieless network & upfate the Apple TV software....no problem here as I can see the store & also get into YouTube

 

I simply cannt connect it to my Mac....

if I go into the Apple tv menu & get computers I get the code number...

its the fact that the device doesnt appear on my Mac that is puzzling me....also my two iPhones dont show wirelessly in the iTunes menu (they did a while back)

 

what common issue is there blocking my TV & phones

 

any help appreciated

 

I am reasonably savvy as regards macs & following instructions (the apple TV & iTunes ones I have worked my way through)

Apple TV, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
