Apple TV - How to force local storage in auto-sync mode?

I love my Apple TV -- couple of questions:
1. What's the best way to force specific movies to be stored locally onto the ATV
while in Automatic Sync mode? Should I delete the file from my iTunes library
and then add it back in, and re-sync?
2. Also, would be great to be able to see in iTunes which files are available locally on the ATV. (Easiest way is to close iTunes and see what is left on ATV -- is there a way to determine this in iTunes from my desktop?)

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for. I had assumed I needed to use auto-sync to access the non-synced content. My bad. Thanks! Kevin
It's obvious when you know, but I don't think the 'sync' library that 'also streams' is particularly intuitive.
Older software use to have a 'sources' menu, so you'd basically either choose 'AppleTV' to play only synced material or an iTunes library to play via streaming.
I think it used to work better because the new 'merged' media list can confuse people, and I also think 'merging' a list of synced ans streamed content causes resource overheads that didn't exist in the past an has slowed menus, but I guess new features since software 1.0/1.1 have mad up for that.

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

  • I have several apple devices - how do I keep my email from syncing to all of them instead of just mine.  Some emails are not appropriate to show up on my kids apple products.

    I have a iphone and a ipad 2 wifi that is mine.  my kids have ipods and a ipad 2 wifi that is theirs.  How can i stop my emails from syncing to all of these devices.  I do want the emails on my device but not on the others.  I also want to clear the email off of the other devices.  Is their a way to do this without physically having the ipad in my possession.  The ipad is with my daughter at college and i do not have access to that now.  They are all syncing under my itunes account if that makes a difference.  I did change the passwords on my email accounts but not sure what to do to fix this.  Can anyone help?

    You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

  • How to force a "push" for contacts sync?

    In Settings, I use my MobileMe account ONLY for contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, not for e-mail.
    I have Fetch New Data set to Push, then Push set to Manually, then in Advanced, my e-mail accounts are set to Fetch (i.e. it'll update my mail only when I launch the Mail app) and my MobileMe account set to Push (i.e. I'd like them to be pushed to the phone).
    However, no contacts seem to get pushed to the phone. It's confusing as to how I'm supposed to initiate a manual push. Launching Contacts doesn't update the contacts.
    I don't particularly want to set Push to every 15 or 30 minutes, because I don't want to drain battery life. I'd be happy if it sync'ed once a day, but right now it's not syncing at all.
    Can someone help me understand how "push" and "manually" work (since there is no "force push right now" button anywhere) and how I can keep my contacts on my iPhone updated regularly automatically?
    Should I set MobileMe to Fetch? So that, as in when I launch Mail it updates the mail, when I launch Contacts it will update the Contacts? That would be good enough for me.
    (Also, this entire post is about downloading contacts from MobileMe, but I'd also like to make sure the reverse works too -- that if I add a contact or calendar date to my iPhone, it gets synced with MobileMe and later appears on my desktop machine.)

    Huh. Mine it does happen automatically, both ways.
    On the phone, Settings, Mail, Mobile Me account--do you have to set to sync contacts, calendar and bookmarks? Those can be turned off individually (this is in the account detail itself, not under the Fetch/Push setting screen.)
    On the computer, System Preferences, Mobile Me, do you have it set to sync automatically?
    When I see things not syncing, I generally force a sync from the computer, figuring that triggers the server and so on down the line to the phone.

  • I have 2 iphones using the same apple ID, how do I upgrade without both phones syncing the same data?

    Hi, as it says above, my wife and I have an iphone each with different content on each. How do I upgrade the IOS on my wife's phone without syncing all the content on my phone?
    Do I need a separate apple ID for my phone? If so, how do I set this up without losing all the data and content?

    I am having the same issue.
    There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
    Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!?  "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number.  I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
    Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

  • How can I stop apps from auto-syncing on one of my computers...?

    Hi all
    I have an ipad 2 that I sync to my MacBook Pro at home. I also have a few other computers on the same iTunes Store account. One of which is my work iMac 27inch (Lion and iTunes 10.5.2). Every morning when I turn on iTunes it trys to download the apps that I have downloaded from the appstore on my iPad. Some of these are quite big and I certainly dont need them on my work computer. I have turned off auto-syncing of everything on the iMac and iPad but every morning I have to manually go to the Downloads on the sidebar and pause/delete the active downloads. Even if I delete them they reappear the next time I open iTunes. Very annoying...??? Any ideas...???

    Hah.... That was quick...! Seems to have worked too. Very easy. Annoyed with myself that I didnt see that.
    Thanks a million

  • Is there a trick to forcing Address Book to update/sync with Google?

    I cannot figure out how to force Address Book to update / sync with Google. Every time I go into Address Book preferences and check the box for Google synchronization and type in my information it shows that it is connecting. But the contacts do not update. Then when I close Address Book and open up preferences again, the checkmark for Google synchronization is gone. This happens on my Mac Pro tower and also on my MacBook Air -- both are running OSX 10.6.4. Any ideas?

    Try opening up iSync in Applications. Go into preferences and make sure the "Show in Menu Bar" option is selected.
    Then you can click iSync in the menu bar and tell it to Sync Now. Might help?

  • How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull a dynamic image from a URL to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

    How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull an image from a URL (which is dynamically updated - like a weather map, say - to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

    Any particular reason for those specific technologies?  wget does not exist on a mac, although you can nstall it I guess.  OS X has curl installed which should do pretty much anything you want to do with wget.  cron is being replaced by launchd, although cron still exists on mountain lion.
    As far as I can tell from automator all the standard 'actions' to access keynote  available to it require keynote to be open and running, but does not provide a function to actually open it.  So I think you will have to write some applescript, as a minimum to open and quit keynote. I notice that the keynote actions are mostly circa 2005 an wonder if they would even work.
    Under utilities in automator 'actions' there is a capability to add applescripts as part of the workflow.
    Also, note that cron is being dprecated by Apple and replaced by launchd.  that said cron is stil on my mountain lion instalation.
    This entry at stackoverflow shows use of cron with curl to get web urls.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683620/getting-started-with-cronjobs-on-a-ma c
    If I have any time I may try and get this to work as it is quite interesting and new to me.  But otherwise, good luck.

  • How do I download a movie to my phone?  when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'.  I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

    How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G?  When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'.  I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone.  thanks for any help you can give.

    I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
    Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an  option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

  • How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs

    Hello,
    We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
    While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
    Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
    From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
    Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    You can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
    I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
    You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
    I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
    You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
    Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
    For your review...
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
    Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

    Hi,
    if you want to import an ISO image, why you mount it?
    after you complete your installation.
    1- discover server. (if your installation is finished good, then you found your server in Onglet Servers and VMs / unassigned servers)
    2- Go to Perspective / Physical Disk to verify that detect the second partition
    3- if it's good, then crearte a pool with no Clustered Server Pool.
    4- create a repository on your physical disk.
    5- Go to ISOs in your repository and click import iso image.
    Now, verify that your apache/httpd server it is working or not.
    1- after you install apache/httpd
    2- you shoud verify if it is running or not (pgrep httpd) if not start it (e.g. service httpd start )
    3- copy the ISO file under /var/www/html
    4- open your browser and verify.
    and at this point i think it is good.
    then copy the url to import the iso file with Oracle VM Manager
    the URL Look's like http://IP-Address/image-iso.iso
    you should verify that the IP-Address is reached from the Oracle VM Server.
    and that's it
    I tested it: and in my case:
    i have copied the windows iso image:
    cp ../windowsXP.iso /var/www/html/
    and now my URL is like * http://IP-Address/windowsXP.iso*
    I hope this can help you
    Best Regards
