Apple tv (1st gen) syncing with mountain lion

I have just performed a full clean install of Mountain Lion on my iMac. I have re-imported all my media in to iTunes and added my two 1st gen Apple TVs as available devices. Unfortunately, the only options on both AppleTVs now are: "Turn streaming off", "Settings" and "Photos".
Where have the tabs gone to allow me to upload movies/tv shows and music on to these devices - after all, both have a 160GB hard drive?

If you have already lost the content, how about trying a "Factory Restore" then upgrade the firmware, etc to current versions and setup again and retry?

TS3991 iCal won't synce with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s

I can't get iCal to sync with Mountain Lion & iPhone 4s via iCloud. Is there a simple way to make this work?

Okay, did some comparing and it appears only ALL DAY events are displaying on the wrong day. Anything I have set with a specific time shows up on the correct day. Found a reference on the Internet that explains this.
Apparently, according to that source, the computer considers a day to START at 12:00 am, so an all day event displays on the computer on the correct day which begins at midnight. But the iPhone considers a day to END at 12:00 am so all day events are posted BEFORE midnight of the correct day, which is the wrong day.
What I don't understand is WHY Apple has the iPhone using different criteria than their computers? This "bug" apparently goes back to the original iPhone iOS. Why haven't they reprogrammed it by now?
I have an appointment with Apple for next week to have someone call me and I will discuss it with them. Hopefully, they'll have an answer for me on how to fix my events to display correctly. If not, I guess I'll have to change all day events to begin and end at specific times. Which means deleting birthdays from the Address Book and creating calendar entries for each one. What a nuisance that will be!
ETA: AND I won't be able to rely on the US Holidays calendar. *sigh*

Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
*Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances. Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
for instance:
A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end. Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
any thoughts or suggestions?
I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.

Can I stream a dvd to my apple tv with mountain lion?

I have a 2009 MBP 13 and want to send a dvd to my apple tv. wlll this work with Mountain Lion, or Snow Leopard?

Sorry, but there is no way to stream a physical DVD from any Mac, regardless of the OS it's running. If this DVD is not copy-protected (most commercial DVDs are), you can convert it and import it into iTunes and then stream it from your Mac.
Regards.

Air play mirroring mac with mountain lion, sound is working but video is extremely slow to update

I am trying to get air play mirroring working on my mid 2011 Mac book pro and Apple TV 3 (latest one) with mountain lion. I have the icon, it seems to connect to each other, and the screen shows up on my apple TV, yet it doesnt update, takes a long time to show up at all, just keeps showing the same screen. However, the audio works fine, I tried to play a Xfinity stream through safari, the video didnt show up on apple TV but the sound came through with no delay. Any ideas?

thanks for the help.... even thought it didn't work...
basically I think i either have some virus or this is the result of that stupid update I did... I know i did that keyboard one an itunes one a quicktime one and there might've been another.

Screen sharing from iChat with Mountain Lion

I have not upgraded yet. I want to, but I am concerned that I will no longer have the ability to screen shard with my parents out of state.
I utilize iChat to control my parents computer, they live out of state and are not too computer savvy, this has been a life saver for me. Does Mountain Lion have a feature like this or is it gone with iChat? Is there a video chat option, or am I stuck with facetime???

Hi,
Yes.
You have to use the same iChat ID as you do now. (AIM or Jabber based)
You have to (it's just easier) have the Buddy lists on View (by default they are not)
Yahoo was added for iChat 6 and is in Messages but does not do A/V chats
iMessage (the new Apple Services between Apple iOS devices and Macs with Mountain Lion) is also Text only.
You have to be able to do A/V Chats.
Speed-wise over the Internet this has to at least 128kbps (the same as a Video Chat on a 1-1 basis)
Another way to view this is that Messages is iChat with the iMessages ability shoehorned in and with a main interface change.
When you first start up Messages it tends to push you to enter an Apple ID to "register it" for the iMessage service.
If you migrate an older OS's User Account to the computer the System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars (New Preference Pane) picks up on email and other IDs which tends to mean they get added to Messages for you.
You can of course add Screen Names and IDs using the + Button in Messages menu > Preferences Accounts like you do in iChat.
This tends to mean the Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts looks very familiar
The Window Menu can look a little different.
CMD + 0 brings up the Messages main window (A Chat Window that does tabbed Chats and an Interface all rolled into one)
Once you have other non iMessages Accounts then CMD + 1 brings up Buddies (A combined Buddy List). It is not listed until they are logged in.
They can be unlinked in the General Section of the Preferences at the "Gather all Accounts into one List" line.
Your "desktop" can then look like iChat used to:-

When should I expect to buy Mac with Mountain Lion pre-installed?

I'll like to purchase MacBook Air 2012 but prefer Mountain Lion pre-installed. It seems I need to keep waiting even the Mountain Lion is available today.

It will probably take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on stock, for Apple Stores to have systems with Mountain Lion installed; longer for many independent dealers. If you're ordering from the online Apple Store, it probably will be much sooner, but call them and ask.
You may find it better to have Lion preinstalled. That way you can upgrade to Mountain Lion when you're confident it's stable and that all your apps are compatible.
Regards.

Movie content will not sync with Apple TV (1st Gen)

I have some iTunes purchased movies which refuse to be sync'd with my Apple TV (1st Gen). Storage for the ATV is external using FireCore (latest release), and I have added content since this issue began, but the same movies still will not sync.
I have tried syncing as 'Playlists' - my preferred, also ticking the 'boxes' for these items within the 'Movie List' on iTunes, finally selecting 'All Movies' - none work.
My iTunes Library lists 98 items. Apple TV lists 90 items. Both include iTunes Extras
This question/problem is also listed (incorrectly) under Apple TV and Photo's

I am also experiencing major sync issues with my recently purchased Apple TV which will NOT transfer any content (purchased or otherwise) over from my iMac (27" 2.66 GHz Intel i5 Core). I am running iTunes 9.03, and Apple TV OS 3.02.
All content plays on my Apple TV fine and I've had no trouble transferring purchased TV shows back to the iMac.
I was on the phone with Apple support for well over an hour about this yesterday: failed solutions included factory restores and direct iMac-ATV Ethernet connection. They decided that the Apple TV might be defective, so it was returned and exchanged. New Apple TV=same problem.
Incidentally, the first Apple TV was initially synced with a Windows XP machine running iTunes 9.01. No problems with syncing content from the PC.
I spoke with Apple support again this morning: we tried 2 factory restores, but could not get any content to sync from the iMac to ATV.
I also tried to sync from an older iMac G3 (OS X 10.4 and iTunes 9.03) with the same unsuccessful result.
Still waiting for Apple support to call back with more ideas. In the meantime, I've synced the ATV back to iTunes 9.01 running on Windows XP without any problems.
Very frustrating: there must be a major ATV sync issue that affects Macs running iTunes 9.03. I hope that Apple will address the problem and offer a fix.

New iTunes videos won't sync with Apple TV (1st Gen)

I have two Apple TVs (1st Gen) that have been working wonderfully. I've had no problem in the past downloading videos from iTunes even as recently as a month or two ago. However, after upgrading both my OS (10.8.2) and my iTunes (10.7) my most recent download (a series subscription) won't sync. I'm ruling out a problem with the Apple TVs specifically as it is happening with both. The message I'm getting is "[SHOW] could not be copied to Apple TV because it cannot be played on this Apple TV". This is the same message I get whether trying to sync the HD (720) or SD version. Thoughts?

You can re-download SD content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer, uncheck the preference to download HD in the bottom right corner.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud? In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id. I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar? iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud. I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync. iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

I was told that with Mountain Lion I would be able to view my computer through the router onto my TV screen through Apple TV. How?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Help with movies bought on Apple TV 1st Gen.

I have bought several movies on my Apple TV 1st gen and I am not able to see them in my Mac's library so I cannot share the movies with my iPad

Your iTunes library needs to be paired as a primary (syncing) library before you can transfer content.
There have been a few instances where people even with a primary library have been unable to transfer content to iunes, in this event, report a problem with the purchased content in your iTunes purchase history and try purchasing from iTunes in the future.
