My first generation ATV no longer will sync with iTunes

Is syncing with iTunes no longer an option with the newest version?  My ATV appears on the menu but I have no options other than streaming.

Fixed!  I disconneced streaming then re-connected the iTunes and now it works.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

  • HT4859 Do I need to turn backup on to allow iCloud to store data?  Can I turn it off again so iPad will sync with iTunes?

    Do I need to turn on iCloud Backup to,store data?  Can I turn it off again so it is not on automatic and will resume syncing with iTunes?

    You don't have to turn on iCloud backup to sync data with iCloud, but you do if you want to back up to iCloud.  (You sync data with iCloud by going to Settings>iCloud and turning the data you want to sync with your iCloud account to On, and choosing Merge to upload your data.)
    Also, backing up to iCloud does not prevent you from sycing with iTunes.  All it does is cause your iPad to be automatically backed up to iCloud instead of automatically backing up to your computer each time you sync.  And even if you are automatically backing up to iCloud, you can always manually back up to your computer using iTunes at any time by connecting your iPad to your computer, clicking on the name of your iPad in iTunes, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sycn settings, and clicking on Back Up Now.
    You can, of course change back to automatically backing up to your computer using iTunes at any time as well.

  • New iMac 27, my iPhone WILL sync with iTunes, but does not backup......

    I have synced 4 times now, and my phone has not backed up yet in iTunes. I have a new iMac 27", and I use a 3Gs phone. On my windows computer, iTunes performs a backup almost every time I sync it. I have authorized my new iMac. It just wont backup....

    Possibly because you have automatic syncing turned on for the Windows computer?
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    *Creating a Backup*
    +If you have configured your iPhone or iPod touch to automatically sync with iTunes on a specific computer, iTunes will back up the iPhone or iPod touch after you connect it to that computer and sync with iTunes. iTunes will not automatically back up an iPhone or iPod touch that is not configured to sync with that computer. iTunes only makes one backup each time you connect, even if you sync multiple times before disconnecting.+

  • Mail application (besides Mail.app) that will sync with iTunes?

    HEre's the deal:
    I run a lot of websites. 50 or so are hosted per dedicated server. Lots of websites means... lots of email addresses. Mail.app in it's infinite wisdon of creating somehting like 4 IMAP connections per email address often crashed the IMAP service on the otherwise exteremely relaiabl;e and well-appointed servers. The ONLY reason I'm still using it at this point is because in addition to running 3 Mac's, I also have the bevvy of iPods, iPhones and iPads. The fact that I can sync my mail withe them is a huge deal and a timesaver to me. Take for instance today. I am launching 2 new sites. I just created the standard 5 email addresses for each sites. That's 10 new email addresses and settings I'd have to put into 3 iOS devices.
    So, is there any commercially available Mail application nthat can sync with iTunes? I HAVE to ditch Apple Mail, there's no way aroud that unless they fix the IMAP issue that I've read countless threads of people complaining to Apple about.
    I'd like to just do this once... it's going to be a huge pain in my a$$ so any help minimizing that aspect of the move would be greatly appreciated.

    Outlook will work.

  • Neither my ipad nor iphone will sync with itunes on my pc. it says i need a newer version of itunes but when i download the latest version i get the same message.

    I can't get my iPhone 4s or my iPad 2 to sync with itunes on my pc. My very ancient ipod nano works fine. I get told that the version of itunes is too old. I have tried on 3 occasions to download the update, and while it doesn't say there has been a problem with the download I continue to get the same message. I do get a warning that itunes is not properly installed and that i won't be able to burn cds. I have tried uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but that doesn't work either.
    does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Have you run windows update?  That could prevent iTunes from properly installing.  Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled.  What version of Windows are you running?
    OS X is the operating system on the Mac.

  • HT1386 AFter installing Windows 8 on PC the PC no longer will sync with my ipad Shuffle. I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing but it did not help.

    After inc with my ipad Shuffle.nstalling WIndows 8 (I had to reformat C:), iTunes will no longer sync with my ipod shuffle.
    I had to deauthorize itunes before installing Windows 8, and then reauthorized it after reinstalling it. It syncs with my new Phone 5 but not with my old shuffle.
    It acts like it thinks this is a different computer. It says I have authorized tunes on 2 computers.
    Note: Computer sees shuffle as a disk and device but will not sync with it.

    You have to restore the iPod via iTunes and then sync. The iPod is seeing the reformatted computer as a new iTunes library and you can only sync with one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • IPhone (4s) no longer will sync with my PC (MS Outlook)

    About 2-weeks ago my iPhone stopped syncing with my PC running MS Outlook.  It has worked fine for about 1-year.

    The computer is not running MS Outlook.
    Outlook is a program that runs on Windows.
    See if you can clearly communicate the real problem and some specifics about what has been tried.

  • IPhone no longer can sync with iTunes on Mac Intel Mini

    I have an original iPhone (not 3G). It was working fine until today. Today when I booted my mac mini, Software update said that there was an iTunes update. I downloaded and installed version 8.2 of iTunes. When I connected my iPhone to my mac mini (Intel running 10.4.11), which is what I use to sync my iPhone, iTunes didn't see it. It was as if the iPhone wasn't connected to the mac.
    I thought maybe it was the cable. So, I switched cables. It still didn't sync (or even see the iPhone).
    I have been charging my iPhone using a wall adapter, so I tried both cables with the wall adapter. The iPhone charged just fine using both cables.
    I used the cables and tried to sync my iPod Classic (120GB) with iTunes. I can sync my iPod Classic with iTunes just fine with either cable.
    I have an 17" Powerbook G4 running 10.5.7 and I thought I'd try to see if it could see the iPhone. The Powerbook is running iTunes 8.1.1, I haven't upgraded it yet. I was able to see the iPhone and I could try to sync, but the iPhone isn't sync'ed with that iTunes library so the sync doesn't do anything, but at least the Powerbook sees the iPhone and connects with it (and iTunes sees the iPhone as well).
    I'm upgrading to iTunes 8.2 to see if the Powerbook can still see the iPhone (just seeing if it was the iTunes upgrade that broke the iPhone sync). Well, the upgrade on the powerbook didn't seem to hurt its ability to see the iPhone.
    I'm back at square one. My mac Intel mini running 10.4.11 can't see my iPhone and nothing I do seems to help it see the iPhone, but I can sync my ipod classic using the same cable.
    I'm now wondering if there is something wrong with the iPhone. Has anyone else seen this problem?

    Sometimes a glitch can happen with an itunes upgrade that can cause itunes to no longer recognize your iphone. If you have already tried to restart your computer and tried different usb ports, I would try this:

    Hope it helps
    Your only removing the outer software so it shouldn't affect your itunes libraries or files.

  • Will syncing with iTunes delete all my stuff?

    My computer crashed the other day. The HDD was destroyed and I had no choice but to buy a new one and install iTunes again. I still got my 2g Ipod Touch filled with valuable family photos, music and, of course, apps.
    Nedless to say these are things i would prefer not to loose.
    Now here is my question. Can I sync my Ipod Touch with my iTunes on my new computer? *Will I risk having all my data and apps deleted?* And if so is there any way I can transfer my apps to iTunes.
    I would very much want to upgrade to iOS 4.1 so I will have to sync my iPod to iTunes sooner or later.
    *Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!*

    iTunes can only be synced with one computer. If you sync your iPod with a different computer it will erase all items on your iPod. You will find some suggestions in a post by Zevoneer on how to transfer from iPod to computer here:

  • My pc is not seeing my iPad when connected.  It will sync with iTunes, but I can't download photos to my pc.

    I am unable to copy photos from my iPad to my pc

    iTunes has nothing to do with the importing of photos from the Camera Roll. Those are imported from the iPhone to the computer with Windows Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can also access it with Windows Explorer, select the phone in the list of removable drives or cameras and that will do it.
    If Windows is not recognizing the iPhone connected to it, then you need to look at this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Follow instructions there to see if you can get Windows to recognize the phone is connected. The last step is to completely remove iTunes and reinstall it. To remove it in Windows, follow the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

  • IPod shuffle first gen won't charge or sync with iTunes

    When I connect my shuffle to the mac, iTunes won't recognize my it anymore. No light even comes on to show that it was charging, as if it wasn't connected. I decided to charge it to an outlet, but still, there was abolutely no light on the iPod. I know it never got wet, and I can still listen to music, but the back cover (that protects the battery, circuit board, etc.) came off when I dropped it recently. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    A 1st gen shuffle does not have a "back cover."  Are you referring to the flat piece that moves as the shuffle's power switch?  If so, you should be able snap it back on.  It may have been damaged internally by the impact of being dropped, but it should not be damaged only because that piece came off.
    A 1st gen shuffle is getting pretty old at this point.  The most common failure point is the built-in full USB plug on that model.  It wears out over time, from being plugged and unplugged.  At some point, it can lose its ability to connect for power and data.  If the problem occurred at the same time as being dropped, that could have damaged an internal connection between the USB plug and the logic board.
    It could also be a problem on the logic board.  The battery also wears out, but I don't think that's the cause in this case, because you should still get some kind of light when you connect it, if it was only a worn out battery.
    It's probably not worth the cost of repair, if you have a shop do it.  Plus, even if you find a shop that will do it, the repair parts they would use at this point would likely be salvaged from other used shuffles (that are broken for some other reason).  You can get a brand new shuffle with one-year warranty, more storage, new headphones, and new features for $50.

  • My iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes,

    my iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes, but Windows Explorer (Windows7) recognizes the iPhone is connected and will download photos from iPhone. 
    When I look at the Settings-General-iTunes Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when "PC" is available."
    More details:
    I have three iPhone4 phones. 1 of them will Sync with iTunes, but the other 2 have this problem where they will not Sync.   All 3 phones recently were able to Sync, like 10 or 14 days ago.  I am Sync ing them all to the same PC and iTunes account.   No idea what has changed to cause 2 of the iPhones to be unable to Sync.   they both have the "Sync will resume when "PC" is available" message under the Wifi Sync menu.

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

  • Ipod classic won't sync with Itunes

    Help! Since the time change, neither my Iphone 3G nor Ipod classic will sync with Itunes.
    I unplugged Iphone after receiving can not sync messages. Plugged back in & Itunes did a restore. However, upon starting to sync, message re-appeared that it could not sync. I unplugged Iphone and it is still functional.
    However, when tried to sync Ipod, syncing continued overnight (about 12 hours). When I awoke this morning, PC was frozen and had to hard boot it. I then went back into Itunes and Itunes did not recognize that my Ipod was connected. I ran diagnostics and it failed at recognizing Ipod. Ipod is frozen with message "Connected, Eject before disconnecting' and is not functional. I have sent diagnostics to Apple and am waiting to here from them. However, thought I'd check here to see if anyone else had encountered this issue. I am totally lost without my Ipod and can not run or workout until repaired. That may sound silly. But it really helps me mentally through workouts.

    Update: OK! I am not sure what happened because I have tried this all morning. I held down the menu key on Ipod for about the 12th time. This time it rebooted. Ipod is functioning and appears that it did sync. However, I am not yet confident about connecting it to Itunes. I may wait until I am ready to purchase more tunes in a few weeks. LOL.

  • A contact and calander program that can sync with iTunes

    Hi There Everydoby-
      I was wondering if anybody know of a free calander and contact program that can sync with iTunes and my iPod touch. I do not have Microsoft Office, I currently use Open Office for my word and Excel documents. But I do not have a clalander or contact program that will sync with iTunes.
      So if anybody can let me know if anybody is using or know's of what I can use that will work with iTunes, i'd really appriciate it.
    Thanks- Doug

    Hey Galilio,
    You can try restoring the iPhone from a backup that is dated before the contacts were erased. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 will walk you through restoring the iPhone from backup.
    You can also Reset the Sync History from the iTunes preferences window, under Devices. This would force iTunes to prompt you again, asking if you want to merge or replace contacts. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides more information.
