  • Iphoto 11 import problem.  My camera is importing photos as 4x4.  I see a single image in the preview window, but the import is 4x4.  I just imported from a different camera and that one was OK.  I can't find any setting to change to fix this problem

    I am having a new problem in IPhoto'11.  An older camera is importing photos as 4x4 (16 copies to a single image).  In the preview pane the photos are fine (single copy per image).  I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting but the problem repeats.  Earlier I had a successful import from a different camera.
    I can't find any settings to change this. Help!

    Sorry but I do not understand your question
    As to importing iPhoto simply copies the photos to the iPhoto llibrary - no changes of any sort are made

  • How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped working.

    How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped. 

    I find it's touchy.  Tap anywhere on the note to bring up the keyboard. If you tap and hold, you won't bring up the keyboard. Just tap momentarily.
    If you can't get it to work, try restarting your iPad.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If it still doesn't work, try resetting your iPad.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

    After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

    I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
    Here's the details:
    I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
    I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
    AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
    Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
    I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
    Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return. 
    Both have latest software downloads.
    I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
    I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
    One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
    Have you ever wronged a two year old?
    It is NOT pretty.
    Help me Apple-wan-kenobi...I can't take the screaming!

  • My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

    My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

    Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
    There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
    Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

  • HT1551 why  does my Apple TV say that some movies purchased through iTunes are not authorized to play on the Apple TV (1st gen)

    Why will my Apple TV (1st gen) not allow me to play some movies even though they were purchased in the iTunes store?  I have sync'd the movies to my Apple TV and there is plenty of room on the drive.  I get the error message that says this movie is not authoriezed for play on the Apple TV.  Thanks.  Ron

    Have you purchased anything on the Apple TV recently, next time you make a purchase, try making it on the Apple TV.

  • Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up Apple TV(1st Gen)

    So frustrated. Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up on my Apple TV(1st Gen) in the Shared Movie area. I've done the Media Type fix to "movie." I've re-started and re-booted and changed the Apple TV from ethernet to wireless and re-connected iTunes. Renamed the library. Everything's up to date. Grrr.

    I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
    Unbelievable.

  • Has the recent Itunes upgrade caused incompatibility issue with APPLE TV 1st gen?

    after recent upgrade to itunes, itunes no longer recognizes data on my apple tv 1st gen....but the Apple TV still has them loaded.  additonally this new itunes does not let me resync new songs or movies, etc.  thoughts? thanks!

    I'm having the exact same issue. Nothing in the "Music" menu except "My Music". I Noticed it this afternoon when I woke my Apple TV from standby. The disappearance, in my case, was not related to a reset. My Apple TV has not been reset since the power went out here several weeks ago. Though I obviously don't know for sure, I'm guessing that it's some kind of store problem and we most likely won't be able to correct it from our end.

  • Apple tv 1st gen can't add to hd and can't get shows off mac

    Thanks.  I'm not sure abou the type of security - I just use the Apple Airport Utility to have a password protected main network, as well as a guest network.  For the name there is a space in between the two words.  One is:  Family Network.  For the password, one does contain a symbol but the other one is just alpha numerical characters.

  • Apple TV 1st gen does not show in itunes preferences or devices

    Apple tv 1st gen does not appear in itunes devices nor in preferences. The words "Apple TV" appear no where in itunes whatsoever.
    Windows 7
    Apple TV 1st Generation
    It used to be there but not since I updated itunes.
    I have tried:
    re-install itunes (version10.7.0.21)
    re-set apple tv
    unplug all cables on apple tv and router
    performance test on apple tv (OK)
    turn off "Home sharing"
    turn on "Home sharing"
    "Share my library on local network"  - Off - On - Off - On
    The apple tv works fine and it is connected to my network (I can watch youtube no problem).
    I've now spent about 6 hours researching any other possibilities to no avail. Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for all the helpful answers I received on this thread!!!!
    Anyway, this morning I received the notification to download the 10.1.2.17 which I did. This resolved my problem.
    I am still a bit sceptical that the same symptom my return as it happened the same way in the past.
    Fingers crossed!!

  • The Remote App on my iPhone no longer works with my Apple TV 1st Gen

    I don't use it that often but when I want to, I want to...u know how it goes. Since one of the updates for the Remote app on the iPhone it no longer "sees" my 1st gen Apple TV, any ideas or am I SOL? Apple TV 1st gen doesn't do homesharing does it?

    there used to be a dark gray "pad" area on the display of my phone in the remote app that I could use kinda like a track pad to move around the menus on the appletv, u could tap it, swipe it etc, that's gone cause it no longer sees my apple tv library, I can't find the library on the apple tv, is that cause homesharing isn't available and it only sees things thru homesharing?

  • After iTunes 10.3.1, my Apple TV 1st gen. can't see any shared iTunes libraries!

    Ok, everything was working fine until iTunes 10.3 came into the scene. Post 10.3 / 10.3.1, my Apple TV 1st gen can't see any shared iTunes libraries...

    Hello everyone
    I have fixed it! The problem was that Apple TV had tried to connect to the computer so many times the Virus Barrier X6 had decided it was a malicious attack and blocked the IP address.
    I fixed the connection by adding the IP address to a trusted list within the FireWall rules.
    To do the same follow these instructions
    Go to Virus Barrier X6.
    Click the 'Anti-Vandal' Tab at the top of the screen.
    Click 'Blocked Addresses'. Select the IP of Apple TV (you can find this IP address through your router software). Click the '-' sign at the bottom of the left hand column. If the Apple TV IP address isn't listed then you have a different problem!
    Click 'Trusted Addresses'. Click the '+' sign at the bottom of the left hand column. Add the IP address of Apple TV in the pop up box, select 'permanent', add any notes you want to and then click 'OK'.
    Turn on Apple TV and it should all be working fine (assuming that your 'Home Sharing' setting are all on and you are connected the the network!).
    Hope that helps

  • Some iTunes TV shows not playing on Apple TV (1st Gen)

    I purchased several seasons of a show a couple of years ago. I used to have no problem syncing or streaming all of the seasons onto ATV. Recently, I can only stream or sync some of the shows. I can transfer the content that won't play on ATV to my iPhone or iPad with no problem. I use Custom Sync and when I click sync, the sync icon starts but then immediately stops. ATV also won't "see" those shows when attempting to stream. I have tried resetting ATV to factory and then installing all updates; nothing works. Help.

    There are a couple of posibilities.
    Make sure the tick box next to the individual episodes are checked in the TV Show section (not the AppleTV device section).
    Your itunes database may be corrupted and tripping over in some way. Unlikely if you can transfer to iPhone.
    Could you have deleted/moved the files using Finder and itunes still thinks they're there but can't find them? Unlikely if you can transfer to iPhone.
    iTunes may for some reason be thinking these files are not compatible with AppleTV 1 - possible if there's been some change to the way iTunes assesses suitability for AppleTV.
    iTunes is failing to sync with AppleTV due to a network issue.
    Personally, I would try both the following:
    1 - Ensure you have a backup of the TV Shows outside of iTunes. Delete the TV Shows from iTunes. Re-add them from the backup. Try again.
    2 - Create a new test user account, configure AppleTV for sharing/streaming only under AppleTV's Computers menu for this iTunes. Add the problem files to the new user iTunes account, do they work from there?

  • Apple TV (1st Gen) not seen by iTunes

    Hi there, my Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer appears in itunes 10.
    I have looked at as many of the forums as I can and I have followed all the advice to reset Apple TV, router and PC. No joy. I have then restored Apple TV, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked router ports etc. but still no joy.
    The Apple TV is connected to my network just fine (I can download movie trailers etc.), my PC is connected to the network just fine (itunes store opens and I can shop). However, the Apple TV does not appear in the devices list on the LHS of the itunes window, there is no Apple TV tab in preferences and I cannot locate my library (not listed) on the Apple TV.
    Basically I have tried everything I can find to try to solve this, but no joy. Please can someone help me as this is driving me crazy?
    (I have also posted this in the Apple TV forum as I was not sure if it is an iTunes or Apple TV issue)

    Ok, so I figured out that the software on the ipad must not be compatible with the old airtunes...
    So I did further research and went ahead and got the Remote HD app on my ipad 3 (kinda pricey for an app, but even cheaper than a cable after all); this only works if you have a jailbroken atv1 with the RemoteHD plugin installed.
    And instantly, shazam, the box and triangle shows up on the ipad and I can airplay to the atv1. I only was really wanting to play music over the house system via the apple tv; but the video mirroring actually works as well. It's not that great, however. All of these mods are really pushing the envelope on the poor old atv, which has smoke pouring off of it... i'm kidding.
    The whole Firecore (atvflash) setup process was actually kind of a pain in the neck, but now that it's all set up everything works. Mostly. Bottom line I'm playing music from the ipad on the house system and walking around... look ma, no cables!

  • HT3199 connect iTunes on new macbook to apple tv 1st gen. library

    On my formar macbook I had iTunes to synch with Apple TV 1st generation.
    After upgrading to a new macbook pro with iTunes 11.0.3 I observe following problem:
    1. on apple tv 1st gen. the library from my old macbook is there but in light gray, i.e. not connected to new macbook
    2. when connecting new computer to apple tv 1st gen. it will create a new library (instead of connecting with existing library).
    3. in iTunes, Devices Apple TV, only buttons "Settings" and "Photos" appear on top of window. "Music", "TV-shows" are missing.
    How do I connect the two libraries, i.e. iTunes library on my new macbook with library on my apple tv 1st gen (last synched with my old macbook)?

    AppleTV 1 was designed to sync with a single computer, but apart from untransferred purchases made on AppleTV, the sync was to AppleTv only.
    You cannot make the new computer sync with AppleTV without removing the old sync connection on AppleTV under Settings>Computers.  Doing this wipes the AppleTV of content tomprepare tobsync with a new iTunes library.
    AppleTV1 also allowed streaming only from several computers other than the synced one - content will appear under My Shared Movies and so forth when the computer is on.
    you really need to remove both computer entries  from the Computers settings screen then re-add the new iTunes as a sync library.
    Hopefully you have still got the old computer to allow you to copy media to the new one, or have copies of he media somewhere.
    If most of your stuff was from iTunes Store then you should be able to redownload in iTunes.
