Apple TV - download to ATV then it sends all content to my MBPro
ATV has changed how we watch television. However, as the ATV has more space than the laptop, we'd like to keep all content on the ATV unit rather than it synching everything to the MBPro. Does anyone know how we can achieve this?
It's designed to sync back which can be a problem if your computer is short of space.
However, you need to backup purchases in case AppleTV fails as you can't download them again. The media on AppleTV could be worth more than the unit so think how annoyed you'd be if AppleTV eventually fails and loses all those purchases.
Buy an external drive, copy the things copied to iTunes over to that then remove them from iTunes (preferably with AppleTV off to avoid a resync though it might happen anyway). Next re-add the items to iTunes but set Preferences not to copy files to the library on the laptop. This allows you to keep AppleTV in sync with iTunes so things stay on AppleTV when they're not on the main laptop drive.

EErase the iPad to factory settings
If you want to sell iPad, make sure you erase all content and settings:
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.

<Email Edited by Host>These are user-to-user forums, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post.
Apple and/or iTunes support can't locate it for you, only you can potentially locate it via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. -
How do I view a movie I rented and downloaded to my computer on my apple TV. The ATV is not seeing the rented movie in my shared itunes library? I can't seem to transfer the rental to the ATV from the computer!
Dear friends,
Thank you for responding to my problem so promptly. Frankly, I did not expect to hear from people so soon! The fact is that as soon as I posted the question, I was shown a number of similar queries and managed to find the answer. I have to say it's not intuitive! I have an apple TV original version. Apparently I had the ATV on streaming and not syncing. Streaming does not allow you to stream a rental from your computer whereas you can sync and transfer the rental from the computer!
Thanks again.

the iPad is totally new to me. I can't seem to do anything with my Apple ID. As the title says, I am trying to download the Facebook app to my new iPad and I keep getting an error. It tells me to sign in using my existing Apple ID, which I enter, then when I put in the password I get ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed to find service connection url. Cancel or Retry. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also love to know how to get rid of the old owner's name, which was Mike - I'm AnnWow, I found a solution in another thread:
I had exact same error.....
Rebooting - Failed
Logging in to iTunes - Failed
Logging into itunes Store - Failed
Logging into iTunes Genius - SUCCESS I woulnd't have thought it would make a difference but it does Then just log into the 'other' services with iTunes.
Good luck!
I still need to know how to change the name to Ann, though, Mike keeps popping up - and yes, I have changed it under Settings..... -

Why Apple not give option on Whatsapp to send Music file?
Dear Team,
Why Apple not give option on Whatsapp for sending Music file? I am using sone trick but when i send music file via whatsapp other person download it but some time music file not played because of file not supported. What is easy way to send music file via Whatsapp with right format. If not any way then Apple should to look on Audio and give option to save audio file on camera roll so that we can easy to send audio file via whatsapp or any other social media software like picture and videos.Hi there,
But I have a question - Any Audio file thats sent over an android is being saved without any challenge & Whatsapp is not a product of Android or HTC ( Since i was using HTC one X previously), So - i dont agree with your statement - please clarify & Help,
Or you mean to say that - Whatsapp must tweek their settings to get it functional with iphone or ipad ?? -
The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen. Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this? The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.
This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -
I Purchased the hobbit desolation of smaug, the download completes, but then starts from the beginning again, using up more data.
Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no. -
My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?
Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

How do I delete and Apple ID ? I had a friend transfer all my stuff from one phone to another using his computer. I can't update or download apps, his ID pops up and asks for his password instead of mine! Ugh so frustrated right now!
You can't delete an Apple ID. Furthermore, everything you transferred is tied permanently to your friend's Apple ID. You do not legally own that software. If you want that software for yourself, then you need to purchase it using your Apple ID.

I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer."
I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.
