Apple TV - ITUNES

I just bought a second generation appletv.  I am able to view my itunes library and see all content. My itunes is running of a laptop with maximum wifi strength. However, it only plays two song and then freezes. I returned the appletv thinking it was fedective, bought a new one and installed it, played all my music from the itunes library but very slow. As soon as i did a software update, the system became faster and only played two songs before freezing. I have exhausted all options, have unchecked the checkbox for the songlists etc. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you know how to fix this before I return this untill Apple has sorted out the problem?

Yes & No.
You can only download HD movies to the tv, however anything else you download to either device can be watched on both.
If you download to itunes you can either sync or stream it to the tv, if you download to the tv you can transfer it to itunes from where you can either sync it back to the tv or stream it to the tv.

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

  • Problem with itunes update.  I am running OSX v 10.4.11 and can't get itunes to update.  I had itunes 9.1.1 and when I tried ask it to update it said there was no update. sent old itunes to trash and now apple site itunes download is not working.  help...

    From Apple website when I go to itunes update to 10.3 I am not seeing the left column to download itunes 10.3.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I tried yesterday as well.  Today, I threw my itunes 9.1.1 in the trash and emptied it... and then rebooted.  What am I doing wrong?

    What operating system are you running?  I doubt it's an iPhone OS on a Mac Mini, but if you meant to choose 10.4 then you're out of luck.  http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/  At the bottom of the left hand column on this page, you'll see it requires OS X 10.5 or higher.

  • HT201493 I have 2 iphones on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I have 2 iphones (mine & my wife's) on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    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!!

  • Smart family iCloud/apple id/iTunes/Apps Store setup?

    Currently, we have the following setup:
    Apple ID 1: (gen.appleid), used for:
    Mac App Store for all compurers (desktops & laptops)
    iOS App Store purchasing on Mom & Dad accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices
    Apple Developer / Apple Seed
    iTunes purchases on central OS X Server Computer including Match. This central server runsalways and can be accesses on all iOS devices for Remote, and from AppleTV. Mom and Dad thus have a full copy of their Music library on each account on each desktop
    iTunes purchases on Mom & Dad OS X accounts on both Macs and their iOS devices.
    Used as general Apple ID by Dad (e.g. find my iPhone etc)
    Used for Home Sharing
    Apple ID 2: (mom.appleid), used for:
    Nothing specific yet
    Apple ID 3: (dad.appleid), used for:
    Nothing specific yet, an not even sure it exists already
    Apple ID 3: (child1.appleid), used for:
    iOS App Store purchases of child 1, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
    iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 1
    Apple ID 4: (child4.appleid), used for:
    iOS App Store purchases of child 2, has no credit card attached but gets money on it via gifts
    iTunes Music / Video purchases of child 2 (each child has his/her separate iTunes Library with apps & music and own iOS Device(s)
    All iOS devices are synced with their owner's OSX account.
    User accounts are accounts with Portable  Home Directories so everybody can log in on any deskotp/laptop at home and away and get his/her own home directory there. Very nice, even if PHD syncing is not extremely robust.
    This is a bit of a mess.
    Mom & Dads photo's are separated, but they should be shared. There are two cameras, one used by Mom, and one by Dad and the photo's are in each account and sharing is a pain (and duplicates a lot)
    Mom & Dad keep separate full copies of the large iTunes database. These are synched/matched via the gen.appleid account, but it takes up a lot of space.The large iTunes Library has one copy on the central server and two on each desktop.
    All the other iCloud things are not used (e.g. calendar syncing etc.)
    What is a good setup and how can I get their from this setup?

    I assume you are all using one ID at the moment ([email protected]) for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime and iTunes.
    If your husband created his own ID ([email protected]) and your daughter her own ([email protected]), then you could do the following.
    iCloud. Each of you use your own address, this keeps your contacts, calendars, photos, documents etc seperate, it also gives you all your own 5GB of cloud space for this data and back ups of your devices.
    iMessage. If you want to see your daughters messages, then I'd suggest you and your daughter logs in with [email protected] and your husband with [email protected]
    FaceTime. You can't really monitor FaceTime by sharing an ID, so I'd suggest you all log in to FaceTime with your own ID's.
    iTunes & App Stores. I'd suggest you all use [email protected], that way you all have use of the existing purchases of apps, music, books etc.
    In order to share your calendars, there are two ways.
    1. You (or/and vice versa) could use the share feature in the calendar app (Tap calendars at the bottom of the calendar screen, then tap the i next to the calendar you want to share and add your husband to the shared section on the next page).
    2. You (or/and vice versa) can add [email protected] to your device as a secondary iCloud account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars), this allows you to share mail, calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, which you can enable individually as you wish.

    My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem.  I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad.  I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync.  I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library.  How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

    Go back to her login.  Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers!  Then, you need to set up each iPad separately.  You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
    There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except...  Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them.  If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
    On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs.  Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in.  The device handles that.  All you need is the correct password.  In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

  • HT1751 I have always shared my apple ID & iTunes library with my daughter but now she is old enough to have her own. Is there a way to split my iTunes library with hers if she now has her own apple ID/library?

  • HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

    I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

    Hi Kim,
    The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
    After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account. 
    iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • Like many others, I got the new iPad 3 and couldn't sync all of my photos.  The best i got was 1,000 out of 15,000 to work.  Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 and said the syncing issue was resolved.  I erased my ipod cache and hit sync.  Still locked.

    Like many others, I got my new IPad 3 and could not sync all of my photos.  The highest I got was 1,000 out of 15,000.  Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 that , among other things, said it fixed the sync issue with photos.  I excitedly, erased my ipod cache and hit sync.  It looked like it was working, but just like before iTunes locked.  This time at 2,244 of 15,000.  Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

    What's the capacity of your iPad?
    iTunes needs up to 3x of the actual size of the files you want to sync during the sync process. And syncing 15.000 photos could cross the size of the available free space on your device.
    Don't forget that the pictures are now optimized for the retina display, so the size increases for each of them.

  • Deploy app from iTunes Store to multiple iPads. Without Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts for iPads.

    I can't find a simple answer to this question from Apples flashy "documentation" or from any online straighforward guides.
    There is an app called "Articulate Mobile Player" that we want to deploy to our fleet of iPads. These iPads do not have Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts configured for them to access the iTunes store.
    We have access to the Apple Configurator for Windows and Trend Micro MDM (Mobile Security and App Management for BYOD).
    From what I can ascertain perhaps we need to create VPP account, "purchase" the free app required to gain access to the .IPA file, then either use our MDM solution or Configurator to place the app on devices.
    Will we then need an Apple ID/iTunes Account to use the App?
    Is there further requirements such as certificates and such? The iPads are configured to use the Trend MDM for app deployment as far as I am aware.
    Thanks for the help and hopefully prompt response on exactly what is required for what is a really simple requirement and should not be this complicated.

    That was quick!! So to double check on the statement:
    "If both the Dutch apps + the newly downloaded HK app are visible (ON THE DEVICE), then I should be able (ON THE DEVICE) to switch back to my Dutch Apple ID, to keep receiving updates on my Dutch apps (including, and not limited to, newspapers, magazines, etc), Accepting that I would not be able to receive updates of the HK app."
    This is a valid statement?

  • Error with Apple's iTunes U Certs?

    Hello:
    We are running into an error with Apple's iTunes U certificates and get the following error and https is bombing out...
    sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
    Anybody else having issues?

    Yeah, I noticed the same problem. I sent Duncan the results of our curl output.
    The problem is easily circumvented (if you're using curl) by using the -k option.
    But I bet you knew that in Utah.

    i have an ipad2 and cannot find how to upgrade to ios 6, despite visiting apple site, itunes etc. Apple is normally intuitive but this is a real labarynth?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
