I found annother issue, after downgrading...


You CD/DVD-Drives disapear in the Explorer.

They will be marked in the device Manager,

You need to edit the following registry Key


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BF C1-08002BE10318}

If there will be a Key Named UpperFilters,

so just delete it.

After a rebbot the CD/DVD-Drives will work fine,

but... Itunes will now start with an Error.

Reinstall "only" Itunes and this problem also will be solved.

I have the same problem. Since iTunes upgraded, Apple TV will not show up in iTunes. My iPhone and iPod and my wiofe's iPhone show up when they are connected and iTunes is opened. I have re-set the Apple TV to factory settings on advice from the guys at the Apple store.

All software on Apple TV, Mac and iTunes is up to date.

Being back to Apple Store. They believe it is an issue with the last update on iTunes.


Please sort this Apple!

Since my first post, when on the wi-fi network, the 2 ATV gen 1's I am running will come up and then later drop off of iTunes. I can reboot the router and they might come up, then disappear. I then connected them both to the wired network, now everything is stable again. I already have etehrnet all over the house but this is probably not an option for some people. I now think it is in the TCP/IP network layer in the new iTunes that is changed. Only the geeks at apple will be able to figure it out. And, they really dont care about us gen 1 folks. The new ATV is about a marketing model where your content is on line and your iTunes is in the cloud. They want customers in the store buying stuff. That is reasonable for a retailer. I still believe they need to have a hard drive ATV. I do not leave my computer on. I do run ATV with personal slideshows all of the time. I think the marketeers have missed the boat on the merge of photos and music. With a few tweaks they could sell somthing that outputs from one ATV to multiple retna display picture frames. Talk about a sales opportunity. The long and short of it is maybe apple will fix the TCP/IP issue on the next release.
