Removing library from Apple TV

I just did a fresh install on my system, and Apple TV recognizes my iTunes library as a new one, distinct from the original that no longer exists. Since the old system is gone, I can't use iTunes to remove the Apple TV from the old library. As a result, I'm blocked from syncing my "new" library with the Apple TV.
How do I remove an old library from the Apple TV when the computer is no longer available?

Typical of Apple software: the solution is hidden in plain sight. Never thought to select the item from the list, because I assumed being greyed out meant I couldn't do that.
Thanks for your help.

    remove device from apple account

    Remove it from where on your account ?
    If your support profile so that somebody else can register to their account then you can log in to this site and remove it : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    If from being associated to your account and it's been associated for more than 90 days then you can log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes and remove it : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
    If you just want to use a different account in the store on it then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it and log out. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account.

  • Ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    If the movies were rentals then no.
    If the movies are purchases and you have the iTunes 10.4 then you should be able to access the 'cloud' option from in the main iTunes page  - purchases - (upper right corner) and go from there.
    You should also have the option to transfer purchases from the iPad back into iTunes. I don't have an iPad but you can transfer purchases from the iPod/iPhone back to iTunes.

  • Remove streamed library from apple tv

    Hi guys,
    I have an apple tv that syncs with my iMac and I also stream content from my macbook pro.
    Recently I reloaded my macbook pro with a fresh install of leopard, since then in the apple TV i still see the link to connect to the old library (bryan websters library) and to stream again I have had to setup a new library (also called bryan websters library) How do I get rid of the information regarding this old library as it is confusing having 2 the same. I have tried selecting it and choosing disconnect but this doesnt seem to get rid of it.
    any help?

    Ok this is worse now, because both Librarys were called Bryan Webster's Library the apple tv did not seem to connect.
    So I have renamed my Library in iTunes to MacBook Pro library and it connects fine now. But now I have 2 redundant bryan webster's librarys now. and i just realised that you can only have a total of 5 streamed librarys and I am now using 3 for one machine.
    Anyone got an idea on how to get rid of these old connections?

  • Can I restore iTunes library from Apple TV?

    My iMac harddrive has crashed and is unrecoverable. I have Apple TV, and have synched my iTunes library between the 2 devices. Is it possible to restore my iTunes library from my Apple TV to my new iMac harddrive?

  • Remove number from Apple server

    Changed to Android. People with iPhone still sending IMessage to my device.
    How do I sort this?
    Have unregistered old iPhone from my Apple ID and deleted my number from iPad / turned off iMessage.

    Hey there Cogers1980,
    It sounds like you need to unlink your phone number from your Apple ID. You can use the following info to remove your phone number from all your devices that have your Apple ID signed into the, with the article named:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5538
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Remove Shared Library From Apple TV 'Take 2'

    I have recently reinstalled my iMac and now I have two entries in my Apple TV's shared menus, one available and one greyed out. How do I delete the old greyed out library?

    I can't remember how i did this as it wasn't obvious, but I think I tried selecting the greyed out option and there was an option to remove it.

  • Is It Possible to Remove Songs from Apple TV But Not iTunes?

    I want more space in my Apple TV for my movies/TV shows but a ton of the space being taken up is from my music library. I'd like to remove the music from ATV and just keep what songs I want on there and keep it all in iTunes.
    Is this possible?

    I'm not sure I truly understand syncing. I have 34+ gigs of space taken up on music alone and would like to bring that down. I synced my ATV with my iMac and it added all the music to my ATV taking up the 34+ gigs and don't want all that space of the 160gb on the ATV used on music, so if I choose the custom sync and then choose only certain things in the music section will that space free up?

  • Removing images from Apple TV

    How do you remove cached images from your Apple TV library? Home sharing is on; we have library's on our computer but old images remain on the Apple TV.

    I have an iPad and Apple TV with Photostream used on both. I tried deleting photos from Photostream (on the iPad) and some still remain (most did delete).
    In order to clear Photostream, I completely eliminated it from the iPad and turned it off. I signed off Photostream on Apple TV and restarted it. Even though the photos originated on the iPad and it's been completely deleted from there and completely turned off there ... they still show up on Apple TV.
    I restored Apple TV back to factory state and it reloaded the software update. After all that (and with no Photostream on the iPad) Apple TV still, somehow, gets all the old photos (including some of the prior deleted ones) when it should be getting none at all. Photostream has been "on" nowhere at all.
    I don't seem to be even able to get rid of all the pictures in Photostream, no matter what I do!

  • Remove photos from Apple TV (Gen2)?

    My parent's Apple TV (Gen2) used to be sync'd to a photos folder on a Windows machine running iTunes. They're now using the Apple TV with a Mac (replaced their old Windows box). They want to start fresh with the photos on the Apple TV, but all the photos that were sync'd to it via the old Windows machine are still showing up — and since there's no way to manually delete photos from the Apple TV itself, outside of a factory reset (which I really don't want to do), I have no idea how to get the photos off the device?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Kristin.

    Other than recently purchased content (deal with later) all the content on the tv will have been synced from your itunes library. You cannot delete it from the tv, so I'm not quite sure what it is you are doing that makes you think you can.
    What you should be doing to remove this content from the tv is uncheck it in your sync options in itunes on your mac by selecting the tv from the device list and looking under the appropriate media tab. Once you do this and resync the content will disappear from the tv. It will remain in itunes on your mac so you will not lose it and can simply check it again at some point in the future should you wish it to sync to the tv again.
    As for content purchased from itms to the tv, this content can be deleted directly from the tv in which case you would lose it. What you should do is let it automatically transfer back to itunes where you can then choose to sync it back to the tv or not. (note; if you let it transfer to itunes and sync back to the tv again you will no longer be able to delete it from the tv directly.

  • Remove adware from apple user id

    Adware popups are constantly popping up on my computer. I went to the Apple store and they were not able to find the source. They recommended that I create a new user and move my pictures and documents  over to the new ID. I went to create a new user, using my existing apple ID and the adware showed up on that user to.
    Any help, the store did not help me out.
    Thanks

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How do I hide media in my iTunes library from Apple TV2?

    I did a search for this topic and I was able to find the answer for the 1st gen Apple TV but no solution for Apple TV2.
    For some of my movies in my iTunes library I have the main copy and an iPod version.  I want to hide the iPod version from the Apple TV2.  How do I accomplish this?  Unchecking the media simply shows it as gray in Apple TV2 lists.

    Normally iTunes purchased movies/shows that are HD have SD and HD versions and only the HD one shows automatically on AppleTV 2.
    Are these therefore HD/SD files you've created yourself ?  If so suspect they are not tagged correctly to differentiate them so they are sorted correctly.
    There is a catalogue ID (cnID) tag which is set the same for both copies and allows only the HD copy to be automatically used on the HD capable device.  Do some Googling.

  • Batch Remove emails from Apple Address Book

    Hi everyone,
    I have a csv file contained all the email addresses that were bounced, all originating from my Address Book. This bounce file was obtained using another software (Email Bounce Handler by Maxprog).
    I was now wondering if there was any way to automatize the removal of these email addresses from my Address Book, with an Apple script or any kind of extension.
    Thanks in advance for your attention and your help.
