Apple TV Bug: selecting Podcasts to sync does not work: syncs everything

I have even tried to restore to factory settings, then downloading latest software, deselecting everything but one podcast (video) and look, indeed, no movies, no music but then all podcasts from my entire library are synched to the ATV despite only selecting one... Apple, please can you fix this.
I also have the problems others are reporting on the movie and TV show synching and disappearing but think that has enough attention right now..

It seems that the Apple TV is really designed to stream and connect with media that is on an Apple desktop that is always available to update and sync data.
Synced content plays independent from any computer, streaming is only possible with a computer running iTunes. You have to judge for yourself whether the 40 GB drive holds enough content for the time when your computer is not available.
I only have my laptop available in my apartment for perhaps three hours at the most. During that time I am probably working on it, so it is not just idle to do syncing.
Syncing runs fine in the background. The network bandwidth is the limitation, not your computer power.
Also I was wondering if people could give me advice on the specs required of a Mac mini to run video playback.
The mini should have no problems playing back the video (and recording it). Other people in this forum who have used their mini as a dedicated video server might jump in.

  • In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work.  Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

    in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
    Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
    I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
    This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
    When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

    why not sort by (name, date, etc) and Click on 1st and Shift-Click on last.
    Might work better to copy or import to a project folder.

  • LG Ally Facebook Sync Does Not Work

    Good afternoon,
         The following feature does not work for my phone, and LG Electronics pointed me in the direction of Verizon.  Also on a side note, the older version of Facebook that comes with the phone is not uninstallable. 
         Under "Accounts & Sync," when I select "Add account," and select Facebook I at first will receive the option to log in to facebook, however it will never sync contacts or Facebook data.  When attempting to sync a second time after login, it will just show a blank white screen or nothing at all  and return me to the "Accounts & Sync" screen with no change in added accounts.  I have upgraded to the newest version of the application, uninstalled everything facebook related on the phone and started from scratch and rebooted/reinstalled with the same result.  This is one the main reasons I purchased the phone.  Please assist, I would like utilize this feature.
         Another note, the Socialite Facebook version that LG provided works perfectly, however the contacts you cannot edit which pretty much makes the application junk to me.
         Dan

    Same problem here. 
    Socialite will sync but locks the contacts, and has the further irritation of being unable to load any FB profiles.  Hence, no pictures are included.  Not even mine.   At this rate, the app would be more aptly named "Anti-Social".

  • Address book to google sync  does not work

    I use Google apps as my primary calendar and address book. I have them synced to the Mac OS X ical and address book (to use off line). I have the Mac OS X ical and address book synced to mobile me to update other computers and my iphone.
    The net result is everything matches the Google apps calendar and address book.
    Well, not so fast.
    The calendar does work as expected.
    In the Mac OS X address book, the Google sync option does not sync (you can enter in your user name and password fine, it appears to make connection fine, but it does not sync). The mobile me does sync as expected.
    It is simple, there is not a lot you can do wrong, it just does not work.
    As a work around, I am using Googles over the air sync to iPhone which does work, but that means the mac address book is getting skipped.
    When does the checked Synchronize with Google happen in address book? When you open address book? Why does the option only appear if you have an iPhone? How do I get the address book to google sync to work?
    Any ideas?
    thanks
    bob

    Mine actually performs the sync, but after a few rounds of syncing, some contacts get deleted, some get their photos removed, some get duplicated, and some get removed from groups. The sync basically puts my address book through a blender. I'm syncing both with MobileMe and Google. Well, that is I tried to. I've decided not to sync with Google since that's what seems to initiate the mess.

  • Subscribing to podcast in iWeb does not work???

    I created and exported to iWeb a music podcast using Garage Band. The podcast correctly imported to my iWeb website, so you can visit the site and play the podcast their. This process also creates a "subscribe to podcast" button on the iWeb website, which is supposed to allow visitors to click it and the podcast will automatically be added to their iTunes podcasts library. Well, this partially works, that is, an entry IS made in the iTunes podcasts library, but the entry does not work. It appears to reference the full text page of the podcasts webpage instead of the actual music podcast, so when you try to play the podcast within iTunes you get an error message.
    Any ideas? There does not appear to be a way to correctly point the iTunes podcast entry to the actual music podcast on the website instea of the text main page.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
    http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
    I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
    In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
    1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
    2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
    3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
    Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

  • Sync does not work- multiple desktop FF

    Sync does not allow adding more than one DESKTOP FF in order to sync multiple desktop FF (e.g: work, home, & friends , etc..)
    I do not like to use an add-on.

    Sync doesn't care about the type of device (desktop vs laptop vs phone) when trying to add a new device to a Sync account. Please explain what you want to do with Sync with a little more detail.

    Hello Oliver,
    I know this is 2 years old, I have a Mac Pro from 2007. I just updated to Lion so I can use Adobe CC software. iCal has been trying to update, or upgrade as it says, and it's showing like it's doing something but it doesn't respond. Have to force quit. It's been 4 days now. I use ical extensively in my business. Any ideas on how to fix that?
    thanks,

  • IPhone4 MS Outlook 2010 Sync - DOES NOT WORK

    Syncing between MS Outlook and iPhone4 Contacts and Calendars does not work. Is there a fix for this? Music and videos sync, but anything related to MS Outlook 2010 does not.
    Help! Any fixes or suggestions. I want to keep my iPhone4 and not toss it.
    Computer OS: Windows 7 64 bit, MS Office 2010 Ver: 14.0.5128.5000 (32-bit. iPhone4 Version: 4.3.1 (8G4).

    My life and contacts are in the hands of MS Outlook 2010. I need to get a new smart phone that will sync with Outlook. I was shocked to see that Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 7 and having the latest version of MS Office Mobile WILL NOT sync contacts with MS Office Outlook 2010 running on one's PC. There is a very limited work around using a Hotmail account, but it will only work with a relatively small number of contacts (I have 3,500!).
    To what extent does the iPhone 4 sync using the procedure you outlined above? Does it sync 100% of all info in your MS Outlook contacts? For example, does it sync "Categories" and "Groups" information? Also, does the sync work both ways? I.e, does a new or updated contact in one device update the other, regardless of whether the change was originally entered into the iPhone 4 or the computer on which one has MS Outlook 2010?
    Thanks

  • *BUG* Open Parameters Partial Search Does Not Work

    Similar question: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1773556
    Quite simply, using the open parameter #search=<keyword list> does not work at all if the search terms are partial matches.
    For example, if a document contains:
    abcdefg
    abcdef
    abcde
    abcd
    If I use the open parameter #search="abc", this will return ZERO results.
    If I use the open parameter #search="abcd", this will return ONE result.
    Is this intended? Is this a bug? Is Adobe going to respond to this?

    It isn't a bug. Read the documentation:
