Apple TV loses synched Photos after iTunes restarts

Everytime I restart my iTunes Server ( Mac mini with iTunes program- attached external drive with iTunes content) all my synched photos on Apple TV are gone and I have to synch again. Happened also before Apple TV 3.0. Why?

I have the same problem with my setup (all Mac OS versions, all Apple TV versions) since I purchased it back in March of 2009. Since then I have gone through all the different versions of Mac OS and the Apple TV OS and I am now on the newest version of everything involved (Apple TV, iTunes, MacOS and iPhoto). Nevertheless, this problem persisted the whole time.
I just got off the phone with Apple and they would look into it if I pay for a one-time support event ($49 or something) since my Apple TV is passed the initial 90 day warranty. If somebody is having this same problem and is within the first 90 days after the purchase or has the Apple Care package for the Apple TV you can call AT NO COST and get this fixed. Can anybody do that and help everybody with this problem? If you have support you can call them or ask them to call you right away, it certainly would be a great help to everybody.

Apple TV loses WiFi Connectively After waking up from sleep

My Apple TV, software version 3.0.2 (which gives us 1080P btw), works fine, until I put it to "sleep." Later, when I use the Apple TV, it says: "Not connected to the Internet." In effect, my wifi has disappeared from the memory of the Apple TV, and I have to enter the wifi network's password again on the Apple TV.
I have had this Apple TV for about a year; the problem appeared maybe one month ago.
I took it to the Apple Store after Apple Care Telephone Support consulted with engineers. The Apple engineers said it could be a hardware problem, and for me to bring my Apple TV to the Apple Store so they could diagnose it. But at the Genius bar, they put it to sleep and woke it up and it never lost connectivity every time. I suggested that as the Apple Engineers wanted the hardware looked at, why doesn't the Apple Store keep my unit, put it to sleep, and wake it the next business day? The genius bar refused, as the problem did not replicate itself at the genius bar. I told them that trying after 10 minutes wasn't enough. They should try it overnight, as I do (go to bed, try it the next day, only to discover that the Apple TV lost it's connection to the WiFi.
So for now, my work-a-round is that after a few hours, I have to reenter the password for the wifi. I've been reading threads about similar issues with the iPad, but I don't know if the problems are related (technology wise).
Bottom line: My Apple TV loses its connectivity after being in sleep mode for awhile. Nothing to do with the iTunes store or 3.0.2 as far as I can determine; if I don't put it to sleep I don't lose connectivity.

Thank you, Jamie Cox1. However, after rebooting the Apple TV, I lose my 1080P; it goes to 720P and takes about 5 minutes or so to reboot. Then I have to set the 1080P again. The good news is that the wifi returns But it is quicker merely to re-enter my password.
The problem remains: After a while of having the Apple TV in sleep mode, I lose connectivity to my wifi And while I have a complicated password (upper and lower case letters, numbers, and not a dictionary word), it still is quicker to re-enter my password than to wait for the Apple TV to reboot and re-enter the settings for 1080P.
Thanks anyway; if I only had 720P perhaps this solution might be enough - but I have 1080P.
I am working with Apple Care; I have reconfigured my wifi twice with Airport Utility, removed all interference (microwaves, cordless phones), and still the problem remains. Apple Care hasn't solved the problem. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store hasn't solved the problem. Re-booting does find the wifi again, but it takes a long time, and then I still have to re-set the resolution to 1080P. So I just re-enter my password each time.
And that's my update! I appreciate everyone's suggestions. However, the problem remains: after putting the Apple TV in sleep mode, and then later when I want to use the Apple TV, the Apple TV forgets that it is connected to wifi and I have to re-enter my password, or I can take some time and reboot the Apple TV but then while the wifi returns, the 1080P disappears.
Thank you everyone for all your suggestions
But the problem remains

Movies rented on Apple TV, not synching back to iTunes?

I thought I understood that movies you rent from the Apple TV 2.0 would synch back to iTunes and be available to watch on the Macintosh or from there could be synched to a current iPod for viewing. (For 24 hours once the movie is started on any device, or for 30 days which ever comes first.)
I took the Apple provided update to Apple TV (40GB) so now I am on version 2.0. I took the iTunes update to 7.6. My Apple TV seems to sync just fine with my iTunes library, i.e. otherwise couldn't be happier with the product.
I launched iTunes on my Mac; my Apple TV appeared as a device and then went back to my TV and rented a movie directly from Apple TV interface and watched it immediately. That process went just as Apple described it should, i.e. very smooth. However, immediately after watching the movie, I checked iTunes for rented movies (devices: Apple TV, Movies tab, and didn't see it. In the Rented movie section of the screen it said, "There are no rented movies in your iTunes library that can be transferred to this Apple TV." This is correct, but I just thought somewhere I would see the movie I had rented from the Apple TV within my iTunes. I tried proactively hitting the synch button; nothing. Went to the Movies library; nothing.
Perhaps I misunderstood the process as described by Apple (Steve Jobs 2008 MacWorld keynote) and the process really doesn't work in the ATV to iTunes direction. But I'm hoping there is something simple I missed in my settings in either iTunes or Apple TV to enable this to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much! I was under the wrong impression about moving movies rented on the Apple TV back to the computer. The forum has come through for me three out of three times I have posted question. Thanks again!
*Can I play my rental on more than one device?*
If you download a rented movie on your computer, you can transfer it to your Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone. Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only be viewed on one device at a time. *If you rent the movie on your Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on your Apple TV.*

Windows can't find Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) after iTunes 9.2 upg

Hey guys!
My iPhone 3G (3.1.3) and iTunes (9.1) has been working normally when I upgraded iTunes to the 9.2.0.61 version to install the OS4 in my iPhone.
After this, when my iPhone turn on in Recovery Mode, Windows cannot find the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" and the iTunes can't upgrade to OS4.
If I turn on my iphone in normal mode, Windows can install successfully the driver and iTunes recognize the iPhone.
I put my iPhone in another PC (with Windows XP and iTunes 9.1) and the Windows found and installed the iPhone drivers in Recovery Mode. But, in this computer, I've also tried upgrade the iTunes to 9.2 version and the same Problem has benn ocurred.
Someone else has the same problem???
Thanks for help!

I GOT THE SOLUTION!!
This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!

Re-synching problem after iTunes purchase

My husband bought some new songs on iTunes & went to re-synch iPod Classic, but iPod screen went dark. He hit "restore" for the iPod (Don't ask!) and now the iPod keeps flashing "Do not disconnect." I have tried restarting the computer, changing USB port, resetting the iPod per the iPod Support instructions (and got the Apple logo & check mark at appropriate times), but the farthest I get is that the iPod screen flashes "Do not disconnect" and never goes past that. All the songs are on our playlist. It seems maybe the computer is no longer recognizing the specific iPod we are trying to synch??? My other iPod is working and synching just fine. Any ideas?

Close iTunes
Delete the iTunes folder and any othe folders that you believe iTunes is creating.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Hold <SHIFT> while launching iTunes.
When prompted to create new or locate an iTunes library, point iTunes to the iTuneslibrary.xml file in the iTunes folder.
Everything will now be as it was on the old computer.

Will not synch photos after software upgrade

Last night I put the new software upgrade on my iPhone and iPad. Not problems with iPhone. After installation i synched the iPad and it went through the entire process but with the photographs it said it could not find the file and therefore did not synch to photos. Looking on the iPad I only find a few phgotoigraphs synched, the rest are not there. This worked OK until I upgraded the new iPad software.

That problem occurs sometimes. The fix is to usually delete your iPod Photo Cache folder (yes it is labeled iPod even for a iPad). See the following for the locations:

Connecting to AirPlay with my AppleTV using Netgear-G router. Apple TV loses wifi connection after about 5 minutes.

I am using a new MacBook Air with OS X and just bought an Apple TV. Using Netgear-G router.
After 5 minutes of AirPlay, movies, etc from my laptop stop playing on my TV and then lose sound on the laptop (but have video on the laptop when that happens).
Just bought this tonight, pretty frustrating. Any help appreciated.

PS I've tried disabling WWM and it doesn't work. I do have a B/G only router though, do I need an N one?

Will I lose my photos after I upgrade to the new iPhoto upgrade

I tried to open my iphoto icon and it gave me a warning message. My hubby and I recently upgraded our system to Lion and downloaded iCloud.
I am so scared that all my photos will be lost after I press upgrade. I was unable to quit iphoto the normal way and had to force quit. I hope I never screwed things up.
Just a note: My hubby backed up our files a while ago on Time Machine, but with his track record, I am not so confident that things were done properly and therefore I need a professional to help me out.

I guess I should give a little bit of hitory.
My hubby put on file vault on his profile and he failed to put in the correct password. Since then I/we have been unable to open a bunch of our files.
I gave him instructions not to download or do anything that would jeopardize any of our files anymore. I cannot, with a good conscience, upgrade anything that I am not sure of.
I do not want him to turn around and say I told you so like I said to him.
We have a bunch of photos on iphoto and now I cannot see them because of the message it gives me: cancel or upgrade.
Once bitten, twice shy!
I need someone to give me the ok to say 100% that I will not lose any of my pics.

Ipod can not sync photos after iTunes upgrade

I upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1.22 a few days ago. I plugged in my ipod and get the message, "ipod can not be synced. required folder can not be found" and after this message another, "...device cannot be found" I have not deleted or moved any folders.
I have never had trouble with syncing my ipod before. What's different? any suggestions?

if you guys own Aperture, a new update just fixed my issues.
I didn't even think Aperture was an issue since I never selected to sync using aperture. But now my iPhoto options are not grayed out to select partial library options, and the full library sync finally shows my accurate 12.8 gigs of space in the colored device fill bar at the bottom of iTunes sync.
Issue RESOLVED.

Apple wired keyboard stops working after iTunes sync

I have an imac running snow leopard. When I sync old ipad, iphone 3gs or iphone 4, the wired keyboard stops working. The only solution seems to be to turn the IMac off and turn on again. Have tried resetting permissions with no success. Any ideas?

Try resetting the NVRAM

Try another BK. Maybe a KB problem.
Try booting to Recovery and see if it works OK. Maybe a software problem with Yosemite

How do I import photos to iTunes, to synch with iPhone?

The manual for my new iPhone says I can synch photos via iTunes with the phone. But I can't figure out how to get photos into iTunes to start.

Hi cafox513,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Two applications you can sync photos from (through iTunes) are iPhoto and Aperture. This article has some more information:

Synched photos erased after using Camera Connector

I recently purchased a camera connector for my 60Gb iPod Video. I had already synched a bunch of photos through iTunes, and when I used my camera connector, all those synched photos were erased. It has done this several times now. Can I not have both synched photos via iTunes and upload photos through the Camera Connector? If I can, how can I keep my synched photos from being erased? Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to avoid the restore option as my iTunes doesn't have the music that is on my iPod (ie I update my ipod manually and delete the songs on iTunes after transferring the songs to iPod - frees up space on my computer).
Is there any way of making a back up of the songs on iPod or transferring them from iPod to iTunes?

I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

do you use the same Apple ID on your iMac, your iPhone and iPad? This is a requirement.

After downloading iphone pictures to desktop, itunes won't open. I downloaded itunes 10.6 (64bit) but get "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer?" Apple Inc. I've clicked "yes", restarted the computer, and still no luck.

I also have the same problem, but the Software Updates tool doesn't recognise that Quicktime is out of date. Have you tried downloading Quicktime 7.7 Leopard from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime as this worked for me...?
