Apple TV 1 - no manual sync anymore? Only Settings and Photos

I still have an Apple TV 1 and I wanted to go transfer some stuff today but noticed that in the Devices it shows up but when you select it you only have 2 tabs - settings, which just tells you that it's a 32gb ATV etc and then a Photos tab. I want to be able to select which movies, tv shows etc to sync like I used to be able to.
iTunes and ATV are both up-to-date software wise. I've reset the settings but still no go. It's a simple network with no other ATVs in the house.
Any suggestions as to how I can get this working?
Thanks in advance

It's set to stream rather Then sync remove sync computer from ATV and re ADD it

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging ". I read other forms and people also struggeling with the same problem. My computer dose'nt have enough power. There must be another way for me to get to charge my ipad mini from my computer. It works fine charging it in an outlet. any ideas??!

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

I'm going to be using a borrowed computer, so don't want to make permanent changes to that FF. Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use?

Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use? I know you can try to copy the "default" folder in .mozilla, but that usually ends up a mess. The home computer runs on Linux, don't know what the borrowed one will be.

There's Portable Firefox for Windows - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - and another for Macs - http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/firefox/ - not for Linux, AFAIK.
Firefox Sync works thru a server, either Mozilla's sync server or a local sync server the user has running on their own LAN. There's no way to sync the data to a thumb drive unless it has a version of Firefox on that thumb drive.
You didn't mention which "settings" are involved, but you can export your Firefox bookmarks in HTML format to a thumb drive, and view that bookmarks.html file on any web browser on just about any operating system.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ''(or Organize Bookmarks for 3.6 and earlier versions)''-> Import & Backup - Export HTML...
For your other personal data in Firefox, there is no real solution outside of using Firefox.

Trying to update my apps but the Apple ID is wrong. Changed it in settings and rebooted. Still didn't work.

You need to delete them and then download them from the correct Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Apple TV showing only "Summary" and "Photos" under devices.

My ITunes is only showing "Summary" and "Photos" tabs when highlighted under Devices. No Music or Movie tab, thus I am unable to transfer iTunes purchases to watch on my TV.
After reading many posts on this topic, I read this post:
"you have your itunes set up as a secondary streaming only library.
you need to break the link and add it this time as a primary library. this will give you all the tabs and syncing options."
How do I "break the link and add iTunes as my primary library".

On AppleTV go to Settings>Computers
The sync library is the top entry on list.
Your is probably empty or greyed out.
The entries below this are the stream libraries.
Basically move down to your current entry and select it with the remote, and it should give you some kind of message about deleting it.
Delete it, go to the top line and select that and it'll generate a new code to enter into iTunes.

Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

When will Apple restore my ability to sync "my"Address book and contacts to "my" Mac not the cloud ?

I asked this question before but Apple deleted it. . . Hmm. . .
freedom of speech?

They may not. This facility was included with 10.8 and below only and I believe was called Sync Services, pls see here for the number of people irritated by this omission and for a possible workaround.
Please post feedback here too.

Manually Sync movies/tv shows and auto sync music

Is there a way to manually manage my movies and tv-shows but maintain auto-sync with my music? I have the box unchecked on movies and tv shows and it won't let me drag and drop any movies onto my ipod.

Yeah, I attempted that, too, because there are only some TV shows I want to watch, and it seems to avoid them regardless of what option I choose.
I tried to mix it up, but it just disabled the "manually manage", so I just use the "sync only checked" options and uncheck the things I don't want the iPod to sync.

How can i get my apps and music back after upgrading to ios5? i back up my iphone and sync it. only contacts and settings are the same now..

above

Music is never sync'd back across, its always done manually. Apps should automatically sync back across after you restore from backup.

Why has apple removed the ability to sync calendars, contacts, notes, and what ever by hard wire and is forcing people to use iCloud?

Removing this ability has to be one of the worse moves that apple has made. Beleave it or not some people may not want to connect to use iCloud.

I hate iCloud, too
Never use it. I don't want to trust any of my real important data to remote servers.
Especially don't trust Apple and their servers with personal contacts info, my calendar and appointments info, personal note, etc.
I want the ability back to sync calendars, notes, contacts to my local computer and local storage.

New Apple ID email has caused sync issues between iPad and iPhone

I changed the email of my Apple ID and made sure to save photos and delete old iCloud backups. The calendar noon get syncs but instead eats any new events. Photos from my iPad appear on my iphone but it doesn't work the other way around. Instead my iPad still has an iCloud photo album from my previous Apple ID email. I've made sure that my email is updated on both devices and that everything syncs to iCloud and has been recently backed up. I even deleted the new backups and did it again. I turned off photo steam and turned it back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One more detail, even in iTunes, I do not have photo albums being synced from my computer. I just have photo stream with iCloud.

I'm not sure what caused the issues but backing everything up and restoring both devices has fixed photo stream as well as notes/calendar icloud issues. It even syncs to my computer again! The icloud photo album from the old apple id email is also gone.

Manually Syncing &/or applying settings crashes computer

When I plug in my ipod classic to my computer, it automatically syncs. But when I change something, and then tell itunes to re-sync (because the ipod it still plugged in) it crashes my computer. This happened once when telling it to "sync" from the summary page, and twice when I changed the folder that the photos were in, (I hit "apply" and it crashed). After it crashes, everything starts right up, but having it crash every time I want to sync or change a setting is not good. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Move the audiobook to the computer you usually sync with.

Photos synced, connect to computer and photos disappear (on Touch)

I just got an iPod Touch and synced some photos last night. I plugged it back into my computer this morning to charge it and all the photos disappeared. How do I save photos so that whenever I connect to my computer they don't all get erased on the Touch? Does this make sense?

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions,
It sounds like you have either -
1. moved or changed the name of the photo folder with which you synch.
or
2. moved or deleted the photos from that folder.
or
3. Changed your synch settings in some way.
To organise your photos you could do the following -
1. Make a dedicated folder on your desktop and call it whatever, I chose "Pod Pics"
2. Within this folder make sub folders such as "Holiday 2008", "Beach" etc. iTunes photo synch will only support 1 level of sub folder so do not put other folders within these.
3. Copy the photos you require into the appropriate folders. I use copies to ensure my originals do not get lost or deleted accidently
4. Open iTunes and with your Touch connected go to the "Photos" tab on the "Summary" page (click on your device name in the left pannel to see this).
5. Check mark "Synch photos from" and choose the folder "Pod Pics" you made previously.
6. Enable either "All photos" or "Selected Folders" and select the sub folders you want to synch with, then Synch your Touch.
iTunes will then "Optimise" (read mangle) your photos to fit on the Touch. It does not actually alter the originals but makes copies which will appear in a subfolder called "iPod Photo Cache"
Hopefully that all makes sense.
Good luck,
Dud.
