1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.

I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV. I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore. I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV. Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')

Hi clur,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Apple TV and the most recent iTunes 12 upgrade. If you continue to have issues with your 1st Gen Apple TV not showing up in iTunes, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

HT1351 My ipod Classic is not showing all the music from iCloud.

My ipod Classic is not showing all the music from iCloud. I have "show music" enabled.

Glad 7.7.1 worked for you, I updated itunes on my macbook, and every time i try to sync the music to my ipod classic, it goes for 23 songs and then it freezes and I get "Cannot read or write to this disk", and it ejects it. I tried uninstalling itunes, reinstalling an earlier version (7.6.2) same problem, plus a new issue with itunes. (It was a clean uninstall, btw, I got everything cleaned out, I think, lol). Video's transfer fine. And no good way to get ahold of apple. That's great. If I have no music on my ipod, it's useless. Think they'll give me my money back? (lol)

Apple tv not showing up in devices on itunes. Content gone from the apple tv and I'm not sure how to sync.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re-pair your library with iTunes.
Settings/computers, disconnect your library, then remove the Apple TV from iTunes prefs if necessary.
Then settings/computers/connect to iTunes.

My brothers iPod shows it's syncing from iTunes, he isn't syncing anything though, and it won't turn off or on either. How do I fix this??

When my brother plugs in his iPod touch, it shows he's syncing from itunes. He isn't syncing anything though and we've tried charging it but it won't turn off or on.
We tried to turn it off but it wouldn't do anything. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

1st gen iPod touch not showing in iTunes 10.6

Hi
though it was about time to update my music on my 1st gen iPod Touch, however, when i connected it to iTunes it does not show up.
Is anyone able to assist?
I have tried hard resets and it doesn't work.
Have Apple stopped supporting the 1st gen Touch?
Regards

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

Apple TV not showing all my purchased movies.

Missing content from iTunes library. Purchased 5 movies at one time on my Mac iTunes, only 3 are showing up on AppleTV. The other 2 are in iTunes only. I do not want to have to stream movies.

Yes they were purchased with same Apple ID.
They are both 20th Century Fox movies. So that means I can watch on my Mac or stream only????

Apple TV not showing all of my itunes library

I recently bought an Apple TV, but I'm having a problem with the Apple TV showing all of the content in my iTunes library. For example on my computer I have Shrek 1, 2 and 3, all play fine on my computer, but from my Apple TV I only am able to see Shrek 2. What do I need to do to have my Apple TV recognize my whole iTunes library?

what is the source of your movies?
i already know the answer (from your removed post), but if you can confirm it.
if you purchased them from the itunes store then they are already appletv compatible.
if you have ripped them from DVD (and i believe you have) then we you already know the rules regarding that.
as a general rule, just because something is in itunes does not automatically make it appletv compatible. if it is not showing up on the appletv, it seems it is not compatible.

Apple TV not showing all my iTunes purchases in "Music"

Just got my Apple TV connected, all works fine (syncs with my MacBook iTunes etc) but one annoying thing is that under the "Music" tab, only a small fraction of the music I have purchased over the past few years appears, so that when my MacBook is turned off, I'm limited to those few songs. Any ideas?

The main Movies/TV Shows/Music icons play back either movie rentals/purchases, TV Show purchases or purchased music via the internet.
All the content in iTunes is normally accessed on the LAN using Home Sharing via the Computers icon and its Movies/TV Shows/Music submenus. If iTunes is not running local LAN content can't be accessed.
If much of the music you have is from ripped CDs, MP3s from other sopurces/vendors, it will not appear under the main Music icon unless you have an iTunes Match subscription. I'm not certain that even iTunes Store purchasesd appear under this without iTunes Match but as I have a subscription I can't currently tell.
If you have iTunes Match it's possible all your iTunes library has not been matched as yet as some non-recognised titles need to be uploaded to the cloud.

1st gen Apple TV not in devices list in iTunes

My 1st generation AppleTV is no longer showing in the devices list in iTunes on my Mac Pro. I have read several pieces of advice and performed the following long list of actions but I am still stuck and unable to sync my Apple TV. I hope someone has a new suggestion for me?
The AppleTV has had the computer removed from the connections setting. It has been rebooted and left on the connect a new computer screen with the numerical password visible.
The AppleTV can be seen visible in the iTunes of my Macbook Air running 10.8.3 and the iTunes version is 11.0.2. I have not 'clicked to setup' since my main library is on my Mac Pro that used to sync. I can ping appletv.local from my macbook air succesfully which returns an IP address.
My MacPro is running OSX 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.2 and one day the device failed to show in the devices menu. I cannot ping appletv.local from my Mac Pro but I can ping the IP address returned from the ping on my Macbook Air.
At first I removed the device from iTunes preferences and removed the computer from the AppleTV which allowed me to see the AppleTV on my Macbook Air but not my Mac Pro.
Secondly I used AppZapper to uninstall iTunes and reinstalled from a fresh download as r4ecommended here -> http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329494-263.html I also used Pacifist to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service after removing the service as per the instructions here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 My iTunes library is back as it was but my other devices were originally missing until I connected them via USB to re-enable the wifi sync.
I can see my shared libraries between my MacPro and my Macbook Air. I can also use Airdrop between them and can connect between them as usual. I have disabled the firewall on my Mac Pro just in case and I have no VPN or antivirus software that blocks any communication.
My network setup is a little unusual since I have my ISP router as the DHCP assigner connected to an Airport Extreme base station that acts in bridge mode to distribute a wifi network across my home. I then have a powerline adapter connected to the airport base station to send network around my home to places where wifi is weak. My macbook air connects to the wifi. My MacPro connects via a switch in my office to a 2nd powerline adapter. My AppleTV connects via a 3rd powerline adapter and can see the internet fine (it plays youtube videos for example). None of the network devices have any ports blocked on them and since the Macbook Air connects to the AppleTV as expected but the MacPro does not then I do not think it is network related.
So I can only assume there is something wrong with my MacPro being unable to recognise my AppleTV as an AppleTV rather than just another device on my network. Anyone else got any ideas of what to try on my MacPro to get it to recognise the AppleTV?

I am still experiencing this issue - can anyone help?
Since writing the above replies I have also tried to downgrade iTunes to 10.7 via these instructions -> http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/03/how-to-downgrade-from-itunes-11-to-version- 10-7-on-your-mac/ but that did not work. iTunes worked fine but the AppleTV was still not in my devices list on my Mac Pro

Apple health not showing all steps

I'm having issues on not being able to show all data within Apple Health when is comes to steps or walking + Running Distance. When I go into the specific category, I am able to see the chart for the past year, month, week, and day. But when I go to the "Show All Data", it just has the wheel spinning and never shows me all of the points. Wondering if I'm missing something here.

You are not alone. Mine takes a long time to retrieve. However, I have found no reason to sit and wait for a retrieval of all the data points of walking and steps. So, I have no idea how long it might take.

1st Gen Apple TV not syncing HD content

Howdy!
Okay, well, I've got a 1st generation aTV and just bought some 2012-13 HD tv episodes. Right off, I could not sync the episodes to my aTV. ITunes lists the episodes are part of the synced content, however they do not sync, they neither show up on the aTV nor does iTunes show them transferring.
My approach:
..I reset the aTV;
..I disconnected the connected account from its host computer (Mac Pro)
..I de-authorized the aTV from iTunes
..I looked for updates (none available)
..Pre-2013 HDCP tv shows play with no problems.
After some fiddling and trying everything twice, I wondered if the episodes were corrupted. I played them on my computer, and discovered they worked on one of the 3 displays but HDCP warnings came up when I attempted to play them on either of the other two.
Is this a problem I have to solve by upgrading to a newer aTV? Could I fix it by disconnecting the non-HDCP compliant display(s)?
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks, kind regards.

first off if they are from itunes and they are HD 1080p the first gen can not play them. It may say it is syncing but you can not play them. Does it say anything about being able to play when you try or just nothing shows up to even try? The new aTV should solve it. As for the display problem it could be they are old but that just does not sound right. I have a HP monitor from say 2003 and it can play fine. The HDCP should come frome your vidio card but still could be the monitor. Good luck

Apple tv not showing any movies or tv shows to rent.very confusing as music and podcasts allows me to buy media but in movies and tv shows I can only view trailers. Any tips please!? Other than reset.

Helppppp!!!!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that you have your location entered correctly in the iTunes Store settings.
You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds.

1st Gen Apple TV not Syncing to iTunes

Hi I have a 1st generation Apple Tv and for some reason I cannot see it on iTunes thus cannot sync it. I have unplugged it and reset it a couple of times but still nothing cming up in iTunes. The good news is that whats on the Apple TV is working. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice that can be provided.
Jon

I'm having the same problem. Waiting for Josh from Apple Support to call me back to help get icon back. I spoke with him about 2 weeks ago and we tried several things that didn't work. I didn't have time then to go through a process of getting it back so he gave me his name and phone number to make an appointment to fix this problem. Might have happened with the last update of iTunes.

TS4455 Why IMovie no longer shows all movie clips from movies from Kodak camera

I am on an IMac 10.6.8 2.16 ghz intel core 2 duo with 3 gb memory
I am using IMovie 11 (9.0.4)
My camera is a Kodak Playsport shooting hd video
On all of over 300 videos I have shot previously IMovie worked perfectly.
On the last 3 movies imported from the camera, I movie loads the preview and I can drag it into the stage but instead of opening up and showing all of the clips, it remains a single image exactly as it displays in the playlist
Nothing I click opens the frames. Thus the only want to edit is to open the file into the fine editing frame
But this is not as easy as it was before where I could see the clip and make the edits right there on the stage.
What has changed? What am I doing wrong?
