Hey all, tried looking for a thread on this and couldn't find one. Also found threads on Apple troubleshooting forum w/o help.

I have an iMac, iPad and just got an appleTV. I have done all the steps to sync iTunes to the appleTV but it's still doesn't recognize the computer. Also tried restarting everything in case that helps. I haven't been keeping up with the news but I hear 'airstream' doesn't come out till november. Is that why it's not syncing or does anyone else have any tips? Thanks.

1. Make sure you have a network connexion (On Apple Tv, Go in setting /general/network)
2. Make sure you have the latest iTunes version (10.0.1)
3. Turn OFF Home Sharing on both Apple TV and iMac (iTunes)
4. Turn back ON Home sharing on iMac and follow instructions
5. Turn back ON Home sharing on Apple TV and enter same ID and password used on the iMac
