ITunes and Apple TV Won't Sync After Moving to New Mac HD

I've had to clone my 10.5.5 system onto a new HD. Now the Apple TV that previously synced doesn't see iTunes 8.0.1. On the Apple TV under Settings>Computer, the link to my iTunes library is greyed out. However from iTunes on the Mac, I can still select the Apple TV for AirTunes and stream to it so they are connecting on some level. I'm fairly certain that I could turn off the sync on the Apple TV side and set up a new one. However that will likely result in the entire 23GB library being erased on the Apple TV and copied again over the network. Is there a way to save many hours and reconnect the libraries without copying everything again?

I haven't seen any reports of it being done with version 2 of the tv software, but under version 1, if you set up a new primary library from the tv which was essentially the same as the library you were replacing, it wouldn't re-write anything which it didn't need to.
As I say, I have no idea if this is the same with version 2 software.

ITunes and Apple TV won't sync, says Apple TV not found

Anyone run into this? I have 2 Apple TVs, both show up in iTunes but neither can sync. Error says the Apple TV can't be found. Everything was fine until I ran the 2.02 update on both machines.
Tried restarting the Apple Extreme router, no help. Will try rebooting the Mac next...

Thanx! That 'sort of' worked...
The error still came up, but iTunes is now syncing with the AppleTV. As it turns out, this was probably the case in the first place. I just tried syncing to the 2nd AppleTV (without relinking) with something new, the error appears, but the sync takes place.

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

I updated iTunes and now it won't open after reboot. Keeps being forced closed as soon as device is connected or open from programs menu?

This didn't happen until after I was attempting to restore my iPad. Restore was unsuccessful. It suggested I make sure I was up to date on upgrades and restart. I did and now it won't start again so I can attempt to restore my iPad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I put music from a CD into my iTunes and now it won't sync to my iPhone 4S

I put a CD onto my iTunes and then tried to sync my phone with my itunes on my computer and the album isn't showing up on my phone. No error message showed up and there's more than enough space left on my phone. I've tried restarting both devices. Do I need a new phone/computer? Do I have to go to the apple store? Please help!!

i had the same issue, though my mac desided to take all my music off my phone and i managed to fix it by unchecking the option to sync any music in the devises music tab clicking apply and then reticking and then clicking apply again so maybe give this a go?
Good luck!

IPad and Apple TV won't connect after upgrade to 6.1.2

I have two iPad2 that I installed the latest upgrade on to test the waters last Thursday. They both connected to Apple TV on Friday, now today, Monday, niether will connect.

I found another discussion that helped with my situation. I turned off the devices; iPad and Apple TVs, then powered down the Wireless Access Point (WAP) and when the WAP came back up, I restarted the devices. In both cases the devices connected without a hitch.

ITunes won't open after moving to new PC; quicktime.cpl corrupt?

I used PCMover to move my files and applications to my new PC. After this, iTunes 6 wouldn't open. I installed 7.0.2 over 6, but it won't open either. The process starts, then I receive a message saying iTuens has encountered a problem and needs to close. The iTunes display never appears.
So far I have:
Rebooted (several times, at various points in the below processes)
Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes 7.0.2 (several times)
Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
Re-installed Quicktime. It still will not run or uninstall.
Repaired Quicktime. No change.
Tried to open the QuickTime control panel. This fails with the error "An exception occurred while trying to run "C:Windows\system32\shell2.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Windows\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
Anyone know how I can get QuickTime and iTunes to work? Thanks.

when a QuickTime uninstall throws that message at folks, it's usually best to try completely scraping the itunes and QuickTime program files and installation configuration information from the PC, and doing a careful staged reinstall afterwards.
try the technique in the following post. (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove isn't letting you uninstall one of the programs.)

IPod Won't Sync After Moving Music to New Computer

With the help of someone here, I moved my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new one. It didn't work exactly like it was supposed to. All of my music is on my new computer and in my iTunes library, but my playlists, counts etc. are gone. Whatever - I'll deal. Now, though, my iPod won't sync with my new computer (which I did authorized). The "Do Not Disconnect" sign never goes away after I connect my iPod. Thoughts?

*I'm afraid to plug in my iPod in fear of it erasing my playlists...*
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different iTunes. You'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
*but should I plug it in to restore playlists??*
Your playlists won't be restored by simply connecting your iPod to iTunes.

Program won't load after moving to new computer

Hi,
So, I was having an incredibly difficult time on my mid 2010 iMac trying to use Premiere Pro CC after I had installed new memory. The program stopped responding and/or anytime I tried to render or encode, the entire computer would restart. It had been going on for way too long. So now I am working on a brand new iMac, fresh from the factory. I installed Creative Cloud and downloaded Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC and Media Encoder CC. (i signed off CC on the other computer) I plugged in my external drive and opened the program. I had to relink a bunch of the media because I hadn't been incredibly organized about filing it to begin with, but everything seemed to sync up. Finally opened the project.
First - when trying to render a sequence, less than 1/4 the way in, an error comes up - "Unknown error in compiling movie."
Second - all the After Effects linked compositions are just color bars. Big fat ones. When I click "Edit Original" and it comes up in After Effects, there were regular color bars. There was sound. It did display what effects I had done to it in the effects window. All effects that I have done have been to sharpen or to remove grain. Nothing razzle-dazzly.
In trying to figure out how to deal with this, I tried to link up the file in After Effects with its original video file. Couldn't figure that out. Finally, got so frustrated I decided to export it to xml and download FCP X trial to see if I could work with it in that. I exported the entire project using Export-> Final Cut Pro XML but was unable to open the file in FCP. Both by opening the program and trying to open the file from inside there, and by clicking on the file and trying "Open With." FCP was grayed out as an option. I clicked the box to allow me access to all the applications and it still wouldn't allow me to do it. So I decided that maybe something went wrong with the export.
I have now gone back into Premiere to try to export again but now NONE of the video files will load and "The Application is not Responding."
I am perplexed! Can anyone help me?!

Photos not syncing after moving to new imac

i just moved from a mac mini to a 24" imac. I used the migration assistant to move my old user over to the new machine. everything works fine (imovie, iphoto, itunes). but when i try to sync my photos to my apple tv, i am getting that triangular exclamation mark.
i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
thanks for any help
marc

i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
This seems contradictory, I'm not clear whether music, movies etc work for you or not.
In regard to the photos, make sure iphoto sharing is enabled and not blocked by your firewall, you could try creating a new photo library in the same location but with a different name to your existing library to avoid overwriting it, to see if it's a photo library issue or something else.

Cannot open iTunes after moving to new Mac

I just replaced my original MacBook with one of the new ones, the aluminum 2.0 GHz one with the RAM upgraded to 4 GB. I had everything on the hard drive of my old computer transferred to the new computer by the staff at the Apple store.
However, now when I try to open iTunes, I get a message saying, "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes," and no iTunes window. Every iTunes menu option is grayed over except for "Hide iTunes" and "Hide others", so I can't check for updates. When I click OK to the message saying "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes," iTunes closes.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Update you iTunes by running Software Update (Apple Menu-> Software Update) or going to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

CreativeCloud application won't open after migrating to new Mac (also running Mavericks)

I had CreativeCloud installed and working on my Mac running OS X Mavericks. Then I migrated to a new Mac, also running OS X Mavericks. My CreativeCloud 2014 applications all work properly. My problem is with the CreativeCloud application itself -- the little cloud icon that appear in my Mac's menu bar. When I double click the CreativeCloud application icon on my Dock, I see the Cloud icon briefly appear in the menu bar and then it disappears after a second or two. I went to the Utilities folder and I used the uninstaller to remove the CreativeCloud application from my Mac. I then downloaded the application installer and reinstalled it on my Mac. The exact same problem persists. This problem occurs in two different OS X user accounts on my Mac. How can I fix this problem?

Thannon88 please try utilizing the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend starting the migration process over again. This time please only transfer your documents and settings. This will allow you a clean system to reinstall your applications.

CS5 problem restarting after moving to new Mac

I have moved all my contact and applications – inc CS5 – from one Mac Powerbook to another. On the new Mac, when I try to start Photoshop 12.0.4 it is asking for my serial number. I have entered the number off of the back of the box, but it says this number is invalid. With Illustrator and InDesign I get installation error 5. HELP!

This thread was moved from the Adobe Captivate forums to the Creative Suites Macintosh forums.

ITunes and my iPhone won't sync. What can I do with this software issue?

I have a PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iTunes 10. I also have an iPhone 4. I recently upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4, I then plugged my iPhone up to iTunes to sync. Now iTunes is telling me due to the upgrade of the iOS, it will not recognize the device. I would have to upgrade to iTunes 11. Easier said than done, right? But the system requirements to run iTunes 11 is at least running OSX 10.6 or later. This sounds great but i think my PowerBook G4 cannot hold or run 10.6, iTunes 11 cannot run without the OSX of 10.6 or later, and my iPhone 4 cannot be recognized by iTunes since the iOS's too new. but can't upgrade iTunes to 11. What can I do to resolve this communication/software issue without purchasing out the wah-zoo?
