Apple tv (3rd gen) os 6.0 and itunes 11.1.1 library not syncing/updating

hi all,
just wondering if anyone else has had this happen, and if you have worked out a solution.
there were some issues with the 6.0 upgrade and are getting agitated with this as have tried many scenarios to find a solution.
thanks in advance.

I wouldn't go down the path of going backwards or restoring to previous version. If I didn't fix the issues that I had I was going to ethernet cable it into the network and see if that assisted the process. The upgrade took between 2 and 4 X to get running and the restore took forever… I let it sit and do it's business without interference. Turning off the sleep function and energy saving altogether. So that it would happen. As for netflix I don't use that function.
If you are seeing files in iTunes but not on Apple TV the next issue would be the naming conventions and in the information section of the file, possibly needing it's "Media Kind" changed to Movie in the "Options" section. As they all went to a default setting.
I found quite a few of my files lost their formatting with the combined iTunes and AppleTV upgrade.
I hope this helps. Cheers

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • Update 2.2 and iTunes 8.02 - Now will not sync calendar

    I have been one of these people who have watched the past updates with everyone having problems and flew through without any issues... this one has been a little different.
    When I updated iTunes and my iPhone on Friday I kept loosing my USB connection to the iPhone during the update which really screwed things up. I thought I had bricked my phone until I hooked it up to my iMac and was able to do a restore and then the update.
    NOW... when I hook it up to my laptop and try to sync it just sets there. I did not do anything different than I have in the past... not sure what is going on.
    Any thoughts???
    Thanks,
    Ronnie

    Whoa... by no means did I mean anything derogatory... not by a long shot. I simply meant that I have not experienced some of the issues that others have when they updated iTunes or my iPhone. Nothing more and nothing less.
    Up to this point it has been a fairly straight forward process.. My laptop is an HP running XP Pro and yes it does have (2) USB ports. What I have done is completely remove iTunes and anything related to Apple. Reloaded and it connects and backups without issue... I just timed it and it took 15 minutes to attempt to sync my calendar... this took less than 30 seconds before the update to both iTunes and 2.2. I cancelled the sync because it was attempting to change, or it states, more than 5% of my Exchange calendar.
    Any thoughts?

  • Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there

  • Can't Login to YouTube on Apple TV (3rd Gen) (YT and Gmail merged)

    So, I am unable to log in to my YouTube account on my Apple TV (3rd Gen).  I have read a lot of suggestions and nothing has helped.  In like 2006 I got my YouTube User Name, then in like 2009 I got my Gmail.  Google bought YouTube, they merged so I have a YouTube UN and Gmail Account.  I've tried logging in with each.  I've tried using the the 2-step verification, and application specific password.  But to no avail, not working.  Im getting either this Username can't be used on this device for the gmail account log in info.  And unable to login with this Username/password for YouTube UN. 
    Anyone have any suggestions!  This is really frustrating! 
    Thanks Brad

    I had problems back way back in the day with my gmail login so I made a new one (youtube user) for test and that worked fine
    not even sure it's possible anymore to make a pure youtube user you can troubleshoot by checking if it is

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

  • I updated my apple tv 3rd gen to 5.1 just...after updating my trailers and photostream icons were gone. Had to facotry reset,then sign in again...after a while icons were gone again...

    i updated my apple tv 3rd gen to 5.1 just...after updating my trailers and photostream icons were gone. Had to facotry reset,then sign in again...after a while icons were gone again...

    First I would charge it for an hour and then:
    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Air play videos smoothly even through Apple TV 3rd gen and 8MBPS connection?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update

    Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
    and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
    I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
    Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
    After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
    Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
    but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
    I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
    There are no updates available for the AirPort

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
    Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
    Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

  • Using Apple TV (3rd gen) as a remote speaker from original Apple TV (1st gen)

    Just got my new Apple TV (3rd gen) - discovered I can't AirPlay to multiple speakers from it like my old Apple TV (1st gen). As a workaround, can I use the old Apple TV just for music, using the new Apple TV as one of its airplay speakers? Can't seem to. The 3rd gen Apple TV doesn't appear on the original apple TVs list of airplay speakers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks, and thanks for your reply.
    Yes, that does work - from iTunes I can see both apple TVs fine as options in the multiple airplay speakers - I was just really hoping to leave the main computer off and play my music from either the original apple tv's hdd or my iphone.
    Prior to buying the new 3rd gen Apple TV I had been doing that for a while, using the original Apple TV to airplay music to speakers connected to its own optical out and via airplay to an express in the dining room.
    It's odd that I can see both apple TVs and the express from the multiple speakers option from iTunes, but I can only see the express (and itself) from the original apple TV's multiple speakers menu. (Original Apple TV has been updated to latest software.) Maybe it's just too old to know about the new Apple TV.
    Has anyone managed to get an original Apple TV to airplay to multiple speakers where one of those speakers is another Apple TV?
