Apple TV & iPhone/iPod download conflicts

So, I love both my Apple TV and my iPhone but they conflict with one another in terms of downloads. I don't have enough video yet to fill my entire Apple TV so I tell iTunes to send all of the video I do have to the Apple TV. HOWEVER, when I go to synch my iPhone I need to uncheck most movies and TV shows that I do have because I can't fit all that content on the iPhone.
Doesn't seem like a big deal right? Unfortunately, it is because it seems the Apple TV always wants to sync whenever there is a change. So, it goes ahead and deletes all my video from its hard drive shortly after the iPhone syncing.
I wish there was a checkbox on the Apple TV summary page that would allow me to tell iTunes to only Sync Apple TV when I initiate the sync. There isn't though so I'm looking for some advice.
Anyone?

Was going to say the same thing. For the iPhone (I too have iPhone and AppleTV) I don't take the default options for syncing. I just made a playlist named iPhone and I put in it all the music I want on the iPhone. I then tell the iPhone to only sync to that playlist (not have to worry about checks and all then). Same for movies on the iPhone. When I sync I know what I want on it so I don't accept the default try to do all, but rather just set to pick right there in the iPhone Movies (or is it video) tab. Really not a big deal at all.

How to set up Verizon.net email on the Apple iPad/ iPhone & iPod

After two hours on hold I finally got a soul to talk to but just to find out that nobody knew how to set up Verizon email account on the new iPad. It took me a few minutes but I figure it out by myself and I will be glad to share it with anyone by just calling me {edited for privacy} ( Verizon Wireless by the way - lol ).

Why not search for iPhone setup instructions on these forums? I have posted exact step by step instructions or configuration summaries at least three times in the past 6 months on this topic.

The above one specifically deals with Verizon mail via the Yahoo portal. For Verizon regular mail you would modify as follows:

I did this on my phone. Her phone isn't activated, no cellular service. So, for whatever reason it won't even let me tap on SEND& RECEIVE, to uncheck anything

Usually if you press buy it then it will pop up a screen saying you have already purchased this item, would you like to download it again. You can also click on the purchased tab in the app store on your iPod provided you are using the same apple id that you use on your phone.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

It could be that someone has accessed your AppleID/iCloud account with out authorization. Or it could be that you forgot to remove find my iPhone form a phone that your previously owned.
Change your Apple ID password.

HT5622 Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.

Why when I try to download songs onto my iPhone from my iPad, it pops up and says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID, You can download past purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 90 days
(Note, mine says 28 days because I have been waiting for a fair bit for this to go away.)

You can't keep changing the ID you use with iTunes, you are limited to once every 90 days.

Mac Mini used as Apple TV (airplay and apple remote on iphone/ipod)

Yesterday Apple announced the new Apple TV as an iOS device. It can be controlled using the apple remote app on an iphone or ipod touch. I am using a Mac Mini using Air Mouse to control the Mini which is hooked up to my TV. Would it be possible to use the Apple Remote app for this?

Hi Bart,
you could use the itunes remote app to control your itunes music / videos from an iphone/ipod touch/ipad.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/remote/
Keep in mind the itunes currently uses the remote app in a different manor to the apple tv. I don't think you could use the itunes remote app to for instance rent movies. But ones you had the movie rented you could use the remote app to trigger playing /pausing the movie. But there are some advantages, like you can get a list of videos on the computer on the iOS device.

Apple tv output to iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac

One can stream the display of iPad/iPhone/iPod to TV using Airplay/appletv.
Is it possible to stream the output of apple tv to iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac using Airplay?
Thanks,
BC

I wouldn't get too worried about standby, just set it to sleep in Settings after a certain period.
Mine seems to sleep when I change TV input or power down the TV anyway.
It is actually quite a low power device being about a 6W rating - I appreciate every little helps with energy saving though.
I assume it is the black AppleTv 2 or 3?
