Q: Apple TV (1st gen) will not connect to iTunes
I am at wit's end. Until a couple of days ago, my 1st gen Apple TV connected fine to iTunes. Now, it will not connect no matter what. I have tried the following:
1) restart both ATV and my machine (Win 7 running iTunes 10.7)
2) restored ATV factory settings and reinstalled software
3) hard-wire via ethernet to my computer (which some articles seemed to indicate should work - nothing happened)
4) hard-wired both my cpu and ATV to a router - nothing shows up
5) removed and reinstalled all Apple programs, including iTunes, QT and ancillary
6) vaired between hard-wired internet connection and wireless for ATV
7) did everything on this page, including open ports manually http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1453
Most frustrating of all, my wife sees the device instantly in her iTunes. AGHH!
Apple TV, Windows 7
