Anyone tried AppleTV with Snow Leopard yet ?

Very tempted to go and pick up a copy, but not sure I can be bothered with the potential hassle when my main computer is now reasonably stable.

Chances are the upgrade will just work fine, but you never know with these things, and then there's the potential software conflicts and hardware without compatible drivers.

Anyhow it'll be interesting to see what the new streaming/sleep feature adds...

I had the same problem - but only on my iMac. The solution on the iMac was to re-start the ATV, then disconnect it from my iTunes library (allowing it to remove all content from the ATV), then connect it to my iMac library fresh. It's currently syncing perfectly. Annoying, but not all that big a hoop to jump through.

Oddly, I also have a MacBook Pro which syncs with a different ATV and the upgrade to Leopard caused no hiccups with that particular ATV at all. My guess is that the MacBook Pro's ATV is a later model than the first-gen ATV which got scrambled in the Leopard installation.

Hope that helps!

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I cannot stay connected to my Apple TV through iTunes even while syncing. when iTunes drops the connection I quit and restart iTunes and it finds the Apple TV, and restarts the sync. I tried a reset on the Apple TV and then a Factory Restore and updated the software but still have the same problem. iTunes and OS are up to date.

This is working now, after upgrading to iTunes 9.
