Apple TV - Either Not Syncing or Syncing Very Slow

I went to use my Apple TV (latest model) and found that all of my content was no longer on there. So I reset it, re-established a link to my iMac and started a new sync. It took 14 hours to sync 1.88 GB of content. I restarted the iMac and Apple TV and it started the sync from right at the start again. I have tried resetting my Apple TV and starting a new link between the two - and the same thing - very slow. I have also noticed that it is syncing all content in iTunes and not just the content I have chosen. I have tested my wireless speed from my Time Capsule and everything looks OK.
I am also having an issue with my older Apple TV. I have it set to standby (power off), but every time I start iTunes, it comes on (but does not sync). Is this normal?
I have the latest version of OSX and iTunes.
Any thoughts?

Hi.
OK - So how do I back install without loosing settings?

Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

i am using mac os x lion 10.7
problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

Time Machine not backing up. Very slow, essentially hanging. I have 10.7.5 Mac OS X Lion (11G63). I have put in all updates. I tried to put my folders into "private" in the Spotlight (b/c I read that might be the problem). Still not working.

After installing Mavericks on my iMac, Apple Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. Now Mail crashes every time I open it. What's up?

After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Apple TV is not syncing music

Could someone help me with this? My Apple TV (V 3.0.1)was working fine with iTunes (V9.0.1.8)and all of a sudden, after a sync it erased music from the ATV and refuses to re-sync it from my PC to the ATV. I´ve re-started the ATV (even going to the factory setings) and it just won´t sync the music, but it does sync photos and movies. Thanx

I'm having the exact same problem also. I'm syncing from a MAC and it basically quit syncing music and music video after the latest software update, everything else syncs fine just as everything did prior to the software update. I tried everything jm mentioned with the same results. I can stream music and videos to Apple TV but it will not sync. Another weird thing is actually there is like 5 songs I purchased from iTunes for my daughter after the Apple TV software update and only those songs will sync over.

Apple TV (2) Not Syncing with iTunes 10 on MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8

My Macbook Pro was recently updated to OSX 10.6.8 and iTunes 10. I cannot get my Apple TV (2) to sync with it. It is connected to the internet and I can watch trailers on the Apple TV as well as see/listen to my pics and songs from before the sync. In wireless settings, everything is set up properly.
The TV does not appear on the left menu bar in iTunes. Halp!

ATV2 does not show up in iTunes nor does it have syncing abilities. You have to enable home sharing in iTunes and ATV2 (in settings) and it you library will show up on the computers tab on the ATV

Apple TV Gen1 Not syncing

When I sync newly purchased tv shows downloaded from the store on my iMac to apple tv gen1, I get:
"The Apple TV is not responding.
Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
I've checked the firewall settings so that apple tv and iMac can communicate freely. Still no joy. I'm not convinced the problem is to do with firewall settings as I've tried the sync switching the security settings off. I think it's something to do with the latest software upgrade for gen1.

Try restarting router, computer and AppleTV1 - I had this intermittently a few weeks ago.

Apple TV will not sync

My Apple TV used to sync with Itunes fine, but now I am getting a message "Apple TV is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.
I have not changed anything on my wireless router.
Any thoughts?

I get the same problem occassionally. I find that on itunes if after i get the firewall message i click somewhere else on the apple tv droplist (for example music sub tab) then back to the apple tv main tab and click sync button it now works. No idea why it just does. Worth a shot if you have not tried it.

For some unknown reason my apple tv will not sync with my wifi?

Hello can anyone help please, I can not sync my apple tv with connecting to the internet, I have rebooted this and tried everything else we have connects to our wifi and this used to! What can i do???

Turn off security on the network. If the ATV connects then you know it is a security setting on the router.

Notes Sync Error slows Mac to a halt

Whenever I open Mail, my machine slows down & looking in system log I get this error:
May 1 11:48:23 iMAC Mail[1305]: notes sync canceled, error:(null)
It slows down TM backups & makes them take over 30 minutes (instead of just minutes with Mail program closed).
I have deleted all the notes...
Even when I turn off "sync notes" and anything to do with "Mail" in .Mac preferences the error persists.
What is it trying to sync with?

delected synservices from app support & all is ok

After latest upgrade, iPOD sync VERY SLOW ??

f you change your Sync password, you might see this error message on your other devices "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Incorrect name or password." error appears in the bottom error bar. You can update your password on your device by completing the following steps:

* Select the '''Sync''' panel.
* Click ''''''Sign in'''''' and enter your password in the sign in page.
* Click '''Sign in''' to sign back in to Sync.

Syncing VERY slow

Hello,
iCal has been giving me a lot of problems, when I turn it on it takes about 10 minutes for the little beach ball to stop spinning and it finally pulls up the calendars. I have 2 subscriptions and 1 publish calendars, when I do "refresh" it also takes about 5 minutes. I have about 5 calendars in total, dating back to about 2 years ago with information. I used to run this on my 3 year old PowerBook G4 12 inch laptop and it NEVER took so long, on this brand new MacBook it's been this slow.
Lastly, when I sync my iPhone, it gets slow on the CONTACTS and VERY slow when syncing CALENDARS.
Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?
Please, please, please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really slowing down my work load.
THANK YOU for reading my post.
Bruce

I have downloaded all the upgrades.
I normally do that as soon as I'm notified that one is available.
Thanks for trying to help!

Whats going with itunes store ? after all this updates. win 7 64 bit store does not upload completly and very slow, no nav bar.

I re-installed itunes and by this i mean part by part itunes, quicktime and so on. Once I re-installed it looked like all was going well. I went to the store and upload like it use to before the upadtes. Than I pluged my Ipad2 no problem but I went to store once more the problem started agian the up-load was very slow it didn't up load completly. the nav bar on the store page is missing no apps, music, books,tabs are all gone. I think it has to do with the new itunes upates in the last few days. I also did the firewall and anti virus off step no fix and i'm running Norton 2011. Has itunes put any message on this ? Is it only window 7 64bit with the problem ? Oh one more thing I was getting a 3259 error but that looks like is good now, but it did take me a few days to download one book and one app the download is very slow.

Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above.

T540p not using nvidia graphics, very slow

Hi!
Well I'm using a T540p with GeForce GT 730M.
When I use applications with WPF or DirectDraw, like Office or Chrome (I think they do...) the notebooks very slow. I get a hight load on system process.
When I use the Process Explorer to see whats going on:
ntoskrnl.exe!WheaAttemptPhysicalPageOffline
is on high load.
I checked the Bios: There is no way to deactivate the Intel HD Graphics. Checked the nvidia system settings to: Its set to use GeForce.
Also tried to install newest drivers and so on: They are installed.
Oh well: I use Windows 7, 64bit.
Thanks!

I tried that (see first point in original post), it doesn't help.
I haven't tried the drivers from NVIDIA, but I would think the Lenovo ones should work and therefore the drivers aren't the problem. Has anyone used the NVIDIA ones? Are there any downsides? I assume I can just reinstall the Lenovo ones if I want?
