Updating Your iTunes Software

To use Apple TV, you need iTunes 7.1 or later installed on your computer. You can

download the latest version of iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes/download.

On a Mac, you can also use Software Update to update to the latest version of iTunes.

To use Software Update, choose Apple () > Software Update.

To use iTunes 7.1 on a Mac, you need to update your system software to Mac OS v10.3.9,

or 10.4.8 or later and update to QuickTime 7.1.5.

On a Windows-based computer, you can also go to iTunes Help to update to the latest

version of iTunes. Open iTunes, and then choose Help > iTunes Help > check for

updates.

To use iTunes 7.1 on a Windows-based computer, you need to be running Windows XP.

Connecting to iTunes

After you set up your network connection, your TV screen displays a five-digit

passcode, which you’ll need to enter in iTunes to sync or stream content to Apple TV.

To set up Apple TV with your iTunes library:

1

Open iTunes on your computer.

2

Select the Apple TV icon with “Click to set up” next to it in the Devices list.

Enter the 5-digit passcode from your TV screen.

After you enter your passcode, you can name your Apple TV and set up iTunes to

manage your content.
