Apple TV and iTunes upgraded, now won't sync
About a month ago, my Apple TV upgraded to 3.0.2, and then required me to update iTunes to 9.2.0.61. The Apple TV continues to work well with the TV. It is also connected to my wireless network and the internet, since it browses the iTunes store and YouTube, as well as connecting to internet radio stations. "About" shows the correct name for the Apple TV, as well as the proper SSID and IP address for my wireless network. BUT...
In iTunes, the Apple TV does not show up in the menu list at the left side of the iTunes window, where you now find "Library", "Store", and the iPod, and where you could formerly find the Apple TV listed.
In iTunes, clicking Edit/Preferences and selecting the Apple TV tab, the list actually does show the Apple TV as connected to iTunes, with the status listed as "syncing". However, the Apple TV has not successfully synced since the upgrade to 3.0.2, as all the content remains as it was before the software update.
On the Apple TV tab, "Look for Apple TVs" is checked and "Prevent Apple TVs from syncing automatically" is unchecked.
Any ideas?

i try to unplug and re plug and my iphoto says theres no pics to upload and calls it "apple iphone" when my iphone has a name and itunes says"the iphone'___my name____'s iphone' could not sync because the sync session failed to start."
it just started doing this today.. i dont want to restore my phone because i will lose my pictures..Sometimes resetting the phone and rebooting your computer will fix this. Reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You will not lose any data doing this. Now reboot your computer and try syncing again.

ITunes upgrade, now won't open on external drive
Hello, mac genii,
I recently moved iTunes to my external hard drive. It has worked well. Just upgraded iTunes to 11.2.1 from a 10.? version. Now iTunes won't open. I have a 2009 13" macbook pro, using a western digital 1T ex. drive. I moved iTunes using a method I learned in this forum (from Limnos), by moving the iTunes folder to the ex. drive, and holding the option key down while clicking the iTunes icon, choosing the ex. drive for the location of the library. When I downloaded the upgrade, i had the ex. drive plugged in. It appears as though it upgraded in both the ex drive and internally. I tried doing the option + iTunes icon and nothing happened. The iTunes folders are all still intact as far as I can tell.
Any ideas or suggestions?My 8.1 will not start either. Starts to open the iTunes library, then I get the "quit unexpectedly" message.
I still have iTunes 8.0.2. When I try to open it, same thing happens, even though that version always worked just fine.
I have tried restarting. No luck.
Help appreciated.Thanks. -
Handspring had a stroke and forgot everything -- now won't sync
My Handspring Visor had a stroke yesterday [ran out of batteries and I didn't get them changed in time]; so when I got new ones in them today, it had forgotten absolutely everything it had ever known! When I tried to sync it to the Desktop, the only thing that happened was that the HotSync would only sync to the wrong "User" [which came from I-don't-know-where; it's my first name but not the User I created, and it only had very sketchy info, compared to what I had saved myself]. I tried deleting that User ["anne"], but even after deleting it, that's the only one the HotSync would use! It wouldn't even recognize the one I had made [a long time ago -- and theoretically the only one that was left!
Does anyone have any ideas about what I should do next? (I even tried resetting the Visor with the Reset hole in the back, but to no avail.) I would appreciate any advice -- as old as it is, I'm lost without my Visor!
Post relates to: Visor PrismWell, I just got an answer to my question from another message [that'll teach me to ask before reading ALL THE POSTS] -- I had only performed a "soft reset" and when I did a HARD reset, everything is coming up roses!
So thank you anyway, and I'm going to bookmark this site -- just in case. Y'all seem nice -- even if I answered myself! -
So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?
If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck -
How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.
Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane. -
Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?
Type "Apple Mobile Device service " into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support"

I just recently updated my Apple TV and iTunes, and now every time I turn on my Apple TV, I have to go to my computer and close and reopen Itunes several times before my Photos share to the Apple TV. Is there a fix for this??
This indicates the device is in recovery mode.
Connect it to a computer running iTunes and restore it. -
After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.
After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.
Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
See if this helps

I had to change my Apple ID and password. Now when I try to download or buy an app it says your Apple ID is disabled. How can I fix this?
If it says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons", then you will just need to change you password by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
If it does not says "...for security reasons" you will have to contact the iTunes Store to have your account 'un-disabled' http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Apple TV and iTunes not able to see each other
I think I have found a bug in either iTunes or Apple TV. My network configuration is a bit complicated so I will describe it first.
Cable modem into my house hitting a Linksys WRT330N router at a central box in my laundry room. From there my house is hard wired to different rooms of the house. One goes to my office where I have a Apple Extreme N airport, connected to my PowerMac and my iTunes library. Again out of the central point in the laundry room again hard wired I have a wire going to my living room, where I have another Apple Extreme N airport, this is where my Apple TV is hard wired too. I have all the latest firmware and software installed on all my devices. Also both Airport Extreme's are setup using bridge mode and letting the Linksys serve the IP addresses for my network.
Now to the problem. I can not explain when or why but my Apple TV and iTunes are not able to see each other after about 48 hours. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting steps including changing my connection from being hard wired to wireless connecting directly to the Airport Extreme my iTunes computer is connected too. I know my network connection is good as I can see trailers and pull up video's from uTube.
The only way to get them to see each other again is to do a factory reset of my Apple TV. After I do this they can both see each other again. But again after about 48 hours they lose the ability to see each other. I have taken these steps twice now to fix the problem
I just finished reseting my Apple TV and am going to watch it to see when it stops working the next time.
All of these problems started the other day when I introduced a new Apple Extreme N router in my my network. The airport Extreme seem to be working fine with my PS3 and XBox 360 that is also connected to it. So I don't think it's the router that is causing the problem.
If I had to guess I would say something in the Apple TV is locking up. Although I have tried power cycling the Apple TV which does not fix the problem. I'm going through 3 routers to get between the Apple TV and the iTunes library somehow it appears the Apple TV is losing it way.
I welcome any help as I don't want to have to keep factory resetting my Apple TV to keep it working.Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
"I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
Good luck. -

Issues with multiple apple IDs and iTunes accounts
I work in an office that is all mac based and have mac computers at home. I have an apple ID and iTunes account for personal use where I purchase books and music and I have an office apple ID and iTunes account to share calendars with colleagues using iCloud and purchase work related apps like upgrades to operating systems, etc.
I have an iPhone that is set up with my personal apple ID so that my music is on my phone and so that the photo streaming is attached to personal photos, etc. Is there a way to sync my personal contacts with my contacts that are registered with my professional apple ID? Ideally, I would like to have my iOS devices syncing my calendar and contacts with my work apple ID and my music and photos with my personal ID. Is there any hope or am I stuck?
Thanks for any help anyone might have...Welcome to the Apple community.
So far as contacts and calendars go, you can share your works data and your personal data with your iOS device by entering the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
You should also be aware that your iCloud and iTunes accounts and different accounts, you do not have to use the same ID for both. -
Migrate Apple Mail and iTunes to a new Mac

As the old AMcBook pro is full of problems on system level I offered to help him with th emigration of some of his old data to the new machine. iPhoto data is no problems as I know which files to copy but hesitate on Apple Mail and iTunes.
I read this extensive manual http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/moving-apple-mail_4.htm#step-heading but it tells me also to copy the old keychain data, which is corrupt and even Key Chain First iAd can't solve.

My 2 sons shared an apple ID and itunes account........
Hi
I hope someone can help, My 2 sons used the same Apple ID and itunes acounts from way back when they got mp3 players, now they both have iphone 4.
They really need to get their own accouts as arguements are being caused as you can imagine!!
How can I set up a new account for my youngest son without him loosing all the apps and stuff he has bought??
Any help would be gratefully receivedno, you can't do that, but what you can do is this:
create a new apple id, then you sign in with the old apple ID on the iphone 4s, then with the icloud help you should be able to install all the apps you want in the iphone, and finally you sign out and sign in with the new apple id. This way you would be able to use all the apps from the other ID but all the new apps your son is going to download are going to be from the new apple ID. Hope you understand it
