Just one other thought, which you may have already tried. AppleTVs are great but they do get confused every now and again. For example, I rented a moview on mine the other day and it wouldn't play it. Every time I tried, I got a white screen of death. Yes, I found the answer on the forums, and yes, you guessed it -- a hard reboot (meaning restore the factory settings). It's not that big a deal to set it up again.
A new Apple TV Question
OK, where did I go wrong? I finally got around to installing a new Apple TV in my main rig. When I unplugged my original (which was working fine) from the main system and plugged it in to my second system, it is no longer recognized on iTunes (or at least not completely). The icon for Apple TV 1 (the original installation which I unplugged and installed in my second system) does not show up under "Devices" but does show up as "syncing" in the Apple TV section of Preferences.
OTOH, Apple TV 2 (the new one installed in my main system)shows up in both places and works fine. In Devices it shows the spinning arrows while syncing.
Adding insult to injury, Apple TV 2 does not show up as an available library on my iPod Touch, so now I can't use it as a remote (with the "Remote" app.)
ARRRRGH! Anybody got a clue? BTW, there is no video monitor available to set up the Apple TV 1 in my secondary system.
