After hours to load ATV upon next sync itunes wipes the unit clean

After countless hours it has taken to load the ATV with video, music, and photos about 10 gig worth upon my next sync itunes erases the unit leaving it empty, as if I had not placed any data on it. Anyone having the same issue and has anyone found a solution? I have only had the ATV for a week and this is the third time this has happened.

I also had this problem, the amount of time it is taking to transfer info to your ATV depends what kind of router you have, for large files a "N" router works best, better for large files such as movies. Next you need to set your ATV on Automatic sync, it will however transfer everything, but atleast it stays there. The custom setting transfers it back to computer for you to make changes to your ATV on a regular basis.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

    Hello WGT52,
    It sounds like this error message is preventing you from syncing your content to the iPod. I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit then plug it back in? (bascially reboot it)

    After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit wait a bit and plug it back in?  (basically a reboot)

    I updated the firmware on the 2nd of this month.  Everything was fine.  About a week later internet speed began to be slow.  I rebooted the modem and the speed was okay for awhile, then slow again. I'm wondering if it's the airport express.  It didn't tell me to reboot at the end of the installation.

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • Will my next sync replace all the contacts I just deleted?

    That's basically my question. This is for an iPhone 4 running iOS6. I just deleted a bunch of contacts on the phone. So when I next sync, will they all get put back on?
    My contacts are currently sycned to iCloud via a Hotmail account.

    No, i had this problem, as i shared Apple ID with my brother when i first got my phone, and i deleted all his contacts out of my phone not knowing they would delete out of his, and he tried to get them back that way, but it wouldn't work as they had already been deleted. And when you back something up, all its doing is storing the items on you device, and if you have deleted the contacts, there not there to be stored.

  • I have a new 160GB iPod Classic. I often listen to it for many hours at a time. Even with Itunes and the Classic set on shuffle it repeats songs often and only plays a small fraction of my songs. Help!            of my

    When listening for hours to my new Clasic 160 with several thousand songs and both itunes and the Classic set to shuffle all songs it only plays a small fraction of my library and plays many songs several times over that period. It also seems to pick a small different group of songs to repeat without touching many of most of my songs each time I start listening. Over 98% of the music is legally owned in my CD collection. A few are down loads which play! There should be no issues with ownership. Please help. As much as I like all my tunes I want to actually hear them all. There are many many albums that have never been played.

    Okay, well we've eliminated a couple of things.
    One thing I have noticed about the iPod Classic: I suspect that "shuffle" is actually a Playlist, not a real shuffle. The Classic is not as powerful as iTunes or a desktop/computer, so it cannot truely "shuffle songs". I suspect what happens is that every Sync of the Classic with its iTunes Library causes a revised "shuffle playlist" to be put on the iPod and then, when you choose Shuffle play, it actually uses that special hidden "shuffle playlist".
    So one trick is to Sync your iPod with iTunes frequently. This would change the "shuffle playlist". Another trick would be to create your own Playlists, either by adding what you want to a Regular Playlist or by creating a Smart Playlist which adds and removes songs by itself.
    Smart Playlists: for example, you can create a Smart Playlist (in iTunes) which contains a random selection of all songs, or a random selection of a particular group of songs, provided the song has not been played for a period of time, say six months, or 300 days. Every Sync of the iPod with iTunes would remove any song from that Smart Playlist if it has been played. That same song cannot go back into the Playlist for a period of six months, or whatever you choose.
    This way, you can reduce the likelyhood of hearing the same songs too often. This brings me to another point. If you have the same song, on different albums, then it's possible that you are hearing that same song but from both albums.
    Try this: in your iTunes Library,
    look for and click on the big + button and choose New Smart Playlist..., if you do not have the Sidebar displayed, switch to the Playlists view where you will find it in the bottom left corner,
    Set it up to look like this:
    It creates a list of songs that have not been played for fifteen weeks. It excludes videos and in my iTunes Library, it has 527 songs in it. If you would like a smaller list than that, click on the Limit to and fill in the number of songs you want.
    Having set it up, play some songs from it (in shuffle mode if you wish) and watch how it changes . The song must play through to the end of the track before it is classed as "played". If you like it, let it go onto your iPod. You could set up a few Playlists, each with their own rules. Even if a song appears in two different Smart Playlists, if you have the "last played is not in the last" rule in both lists, then playing the song will eliminate it from both lists. None of this removes songs from the iPod (unless you use Sync selected Playlists...).

  • Help syncing itunes for the first time

    Before you connect your iPhone to your computer, go to iTunes > Preferences and check "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically."
    Or Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.

  • After updating today:  Everytime I try to sync, iTunes closes.

    My daughter updated her iTunes to the latest version today. (7.6.2.9) Now as soon as I connect the phone to my computer a window opens up and says "iTunes has stopped working" Then iTunes closes. Every thing worked fine until this update. Do I need to uninstall and re-install? And what will I lose in doing it? Or is there a easier fix?

    I'm not sure what the installer does for removing. Here is a link to an Apple support document for completely removing iTunes and its components. Once you do that, you should be able to reinstall iTunes.

    Here is another document that talks about the iPhone not being recognized in Windows.

  • My old computer crashed completly. I have a new computer now. It is a HP with internet 8 on it. I downloaded itunes but can not sync itunes to the new computer. Every time I try I get a warning that if i proceed then all my stuff on the phone will erased.

    I recently bought a new computer becouse my old computer crashed. Now I can not sync my itunes account. I get an error when I try. It says that itunes will erase my phone content and replace with what is on the phone. I do not want to lose all my stuff so what do I do?

    This is how it works.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do you down load a previous purchase from iTunes. The help instructions don't match what is on the iTunes My Purchased list.

    How can previous purchases be downloaded. The help instructions don't match what is on the page of the previous purchases.

    What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in - music, films and TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries, audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (if content providers/rights-holder have removed items from the store then they also won't show for redownloading)

  • I need to reset my apple tv due it not working following system update. I cannot reset onscreen, so need to factory reset via iTunes. However, upon plugging into iTunes with the micro usb cable, iTunes is not picking it up. Any ideas pleas??

    All that happens is the light on the front of the apple tv flashes rapidly. Itunes is not recognising the apple tv being plugged in, so I cannot attempt the factory reset. Help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you made sure that you have removed all the cables other than the USB cable when connecting with Apple TV to iTunes. Also make sure that you have connected the Apple TV to a powered USB port.

  • ATV WILL NOT sync movies or TV shows

    I've seen threads that talk around this, but never this exact problem. I had 2 TV shows and 1 movie on iTunes synced to ATV. I purchased another movie 2 weeks ago, and when I tried to sync, it says it is doing it, but the indicator never moves, and it quits after awhile. I have de-authorized and re-authorized my iTunes account, re-established my connection with ATV with a new passcode, and even completely reset ATV. I am able to sync all music on iTunes and all iPhoto photos. I have access to Flicker and You Tube. I am using an iMac G5 Power PC running 10.4.11. The ATV communicates over my wireless Airport Extreme network. Any thoughts? I think I've tried almost everything!!

    I am also having this problem. TV shows seem to be ok. 1 purchased movie has synced. I have a total of 4 movies. the one purchased movie is showing in the ATV devices section of itunes in the purchased and purchased on apple tv folder. it also appears in the movies folder on itunes. The other 3 movies do not show in the purchased folder or purchased on ATV in the ATV folder in itunes. They do appear on the ATV device however. I have read some posts indicate that movies cannot be synced from ATV to Itunes when purchased on ATV. I do not believe this to be true and because one movie is on itunes and ATV in itunes and I am able to sync back and forth with ATV through itunes. I have had a hardware change to my system with the Airport extreme but it is still letting me sync the one movie back and forth. It seems odd that the other movies are not showing up in my purchased folder in itunes.

  • Satellite L845-SP4303: Win 8.1 - Screen got black after account is loaded

    Hi there! How are you?
    First of all, I'll apologize if my English is wrong.
    Well, I'll tell you what happened.
    I have a Satellite L845-SP4303FA and I installed Windows 8.1 from the Store yesterday.
    The installation took a lot of time, and the laptop was connected to the electric energy with the AC connector during the installation.
    The installation was sucessful, and when it was completed, I disconnected laptom from electric energy.
    I used the laptot without problems, Windows 8.1 worked great, and when there's no more battery I turned laptop off.
    And here's the problem:
    today, I turn on the laptop, one of the Windows's accounts is loaded automatically and later, the sceen get black forever.
    I'm able to move the mouse, but I can't do anything more.
    I can't use the keyboard, I tried to pulse Ctrl+Alt+Supr but it's impossible.
    Is there any possible solution?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi
    Power OFF the unit.
    Disconnect the AC adaptor
    Remove the battery
    Press and hold power button 30 sec long
    Leave the notebook disconnected for a while (3-4 hours)
    Connect battery and AC adaptor and power up the unit
    Can you see something on the screen now?
