    Hi cecilfromforest hills,

     

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

     

    The instructions you see on your TV refer to how to stream from iTunes to your Apple TV using AirPlay:

    To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:

    1. Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.

    2. Open iTunes.

    3. Locate and click the AirPlay icon TS5209--itunes_airplayicon--mul.png to the left of the iTunes LCD window.

    4. Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.

    You can find these steps here:

    If you already have iTunes set up this way, but it is behaving unexpectedly, I recommend the steps in the "Troubleshooting performance issues" section of this article:

    Best,
