Apple TV will no longer Sync and YouTube Not Working

Recently my Apple TV (160GB version) has stopped syncing with my copy of iTunes.
Previously it synced fine and when ever I lunched iTunes it would show up under my devices. But now it behaves rather strangely. Every now and again my Apple TV shows up in iTunes (E.g. every few days for about 2 minutes when previously it was always there) and when I try and press the sync button it says it is syncing but nothing ever syncs.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Both my MacBook and Apple TV are connected wirelessly to an Apple AirPort Extreme (both are within range and show up as connected to the base station).
I have checked and I have iTunes music sharing allowed on my MacBook.
I also just noticed that my Apple TV no longer connects to You Tube (can't see any videos if I am signed in or not). Although in AirPort utility it says my Apple TV is connected to the base station (signal = -79, Noise = -92, Rate = 1) and my Apple TV says it's connected to the network.
I tried to in my Apple TV into my MacBook via a Ethernet cable (went into the sharing option in System Pref and started "Sharing your AirPort connection" to computers using "Built-in Ethernet") and it synced my content from iTunes but I still am unable to access You Tube. For example I go into the You Tube menu and click "Most Viewed" and it takes about 2-3 minutes to load the page before an error message is displayed.
I also noticed I can't watch any film trailers (although I only attempted to do this for the first time today), the names of the films come up with the description but the film image on the left and the actual trailer do not load. Do I need to open up extra ports on my MacBook to get this all to work?
Sorry if all that was very wordy but I love my little Apple TV as it lets me watch Podcasts and You Tube videos on my TV. Any help on getting this fixed would be really useful.

Welcome to the  discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

  • Sync and Bluetooth Not Working

    I have an Iphone 4S and an Ipad that will not transfer my itunes music from my PC to the devises.  My bluetooth is also not working.  I have asked Apple Support and they are unable to resolve the issue.  Any suggestions?

    To transfer music from your PC to your devices install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, then connect a device using the USB cable. Click on its name in iTunes when it appears, click the music tab, select the music you want on the device, and click "sync".
    What part of BlueTooth is not working? You cannot use BlueTooth to transfer music or other files. It is only for audio devices and their controls.

  • Google, gmail, flickr, and youtube not working.

    Whenever I try to access gmail, google, flickr, and youtube it won't work. I've tried it in safari, firefox, and camino. It's not my network because it doesn't work at school or my friends house. I've done virus scans and nothing comes up. I also don't have any firewalls or virus programs that would block any of these things from working.
    oh, mac mail also won't work because of my gmail email. The RSS feeds don't load either.
    I really need someone's help. I've looked all over the place and can't find anything that helps.

    Hi Alicia
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Adobe Flash is required for those sites to function correctly.
    Go to your Safari Preferences>Security. Is the "enabled plug-ins" checked? If not do so, then try one of those sites again. If it is checked, then go here to determine the Flash version you are using. Let me know the version number (e.g. 10.0.12.36)

  • Syncing and streaming not working properly

    I have several movies recorded from television that I normally sync to my iphone through itunes. Recently I got Apple TV. Now I format the television recordings for Apple TV. I use an Airport Express as my wireless router. When syncing the Apple TV through iTunes, I have never been able to successfully complete a single television program (avg 1.5 GB) without the Apple TV losing connection from the wireless network. While still frustrating, the workaround has been to stream the programs to the Apple TV. These programs, however, only show on Apple TV once I begin syncing. If while syncing the connection fails, Apple TV fails to recognize the stream and the program stops. I've tried turning off syncing so that I could only watch via stream, but doing so removes the Apple TV from my devices list in iTunes at which point the only way I can reestablish the connection is to disconnect from my computer through the Apple TV interface and then reestablish he connection by running into the other room and inputing the code that was given on my television screen.
    In an effort to isolate the cause of the problem, I checked my iPhone's connection to the wireless network in the house. It turns out that at the same time the Apple TV stops syncing/loses connectivity, the iPhone too loses its wifi connection and switches to 3G. Of course my initial conclusion was that the problem lies with the Airport Express. But then when I check the wifi connection on both of my iMacs, both have solid and full connections to the wireless network. So what's the deal? Are the devices competing for bandwidth? Or does the iMac have a stronger receiver as compared to the iPhone and Apple TV?
    I would appreciate if someone could help me resolve this once and for all. Thank you in advance.

    see this read about possible sources of _*wireless interference*_.
    download iStumbler (free) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel of your network as far away as possible from those as per WC's advice.
    another, more powerful tool, would be KisMac. however, be aware that in some countries the use of KisMac may not be legal !
    here's another discussion on he subject: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2412843&tstart=0.
    good luck !

  • Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

    Hi guys,
    We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
    However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
    If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
    Software:
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
    CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
    RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
    Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
    Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
    Diagnostics:
    Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
    Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
    Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
    Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
    Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
    Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
    Tried on IE9 same issue
    Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
    Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
    Any help is appreciated
    Andy

    I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
    Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
    Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
    Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
    Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
    Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
    Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
    I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.

  • Sync and previous not working in lightroom 3

    In lightroom 3 when I sync photos not every photo is getting the sync setting some of the photos are getting a red tint or faded down look over the complete image I try to set them back to original and they won't go back. This is also happening in previous and copy and paste some times the functions work and take prior setting and other time it wigs the whole photo out. This never happened in 2 what is up

    no I am have not applied those effects to the prior photo I have set white balance to overall image, fill and recovery, brightness, contrast, sharpen, and noise reduction to over all image not any specific point, when I select preceeding images and select sync some but not all of the synced images not have a a red opacity over the complete image and some are synced correctly

  • HT5595 Is there going to be an update soon that will fix the "move and scale" not working on wallpaper, etc???

    The move and scale feature on the setting of wallpapers has not worked for quite some time now, Ive tried ALL suggestions online and none of them are working.  This is an apple issue that needs to be resolved asap.

    No one would know when or if an update is coming, unless Apple announces, which is rare.

  • Apple Keyboard: Tab, Caps Lock, Tilde and Esc not working.

    Yesterday I turned on my mac and was filling out some form and discovered whilst trying to go the next field that my tab button wasn't working. My tilde, esc and caps lock buttons won't work either (light comes on when I start up and pull out and plug keyboard back into USB port). It's strange that they're all tucked up in that left hand corner.
    Has anyone else come across the problem or have any thoughts about curing the problem?
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • 1st generation apple tv will no longer sync

    We have two1st generation apple TVs - one syncs thru Wifi and one is wired.  While both continue to be seen in iTunes neither will sync.  Ipads and Ipods continue to sync properly.  I reset one to factory setting and reinstalled but issue continues.  I am using the most current version of iTunes and I don't believe any other settings have changed. Any advice would be appreciated. 

    if one was factory reset use the settings on the appletv to make sure it using the latests firmware as factory reset return it to what it came with
    and when I had issues with my appletv not wanting to sync then I go to the settings and unpair it from whatever computer it thinks it's set to sync  with and then add the computer again
    think I don so 2 times for my appletv
    it always fixed it but it does result in a full sync which takes a bit

  • My apple tv will no longer sync movies

    I have rented and purchased new content from the iTunes store and when I try and sync them to my apple tv I get an error that they are not supported formats. I have reset the apple tv and computer... It will sync audio and photos... but any tv shows or movies that I try to sync result in that error.
    I have been able to purchase and download content directly to the Apple tv (causing me to rent the same movie on both the computer and TV and be charged twice). On my apple TV the menu under TV Shows only now has the option to watch My TV Shows so I assume that there is some relation between this and my problem.
    Any Ideas?

    I have exactly the same issue, I can see the content that I have purchased and when I start a show or film I get error message after a few seconds. Apparantly it is only for the movies and shows, since I can see and hear my music, clues anyone?

  • Blackberry Z10 will no longer Sync and Sympatico Contacts and calendar have disappeared

    Two weeks ago my sympatico email stopped on my blackberry. The email was uninstalled and reinstalled and the contacts and calendar disappeared and the phone stopped synconizing . When the email is loaded on another Z10 the contacts and calendar come in. The issue appears to have happened after an update.Restoring the phone to factory settings did not help. I can get all other emails to load including contacts and email. Does anyone have a solution other than getting rid of this phone.
    Sympatico does not appear to be an issue as I can load the email on other blackberry devices and have loaded it on another Z10 with no issue.
    I have made called to Blackberry and they keep pushing me back to Bell but based on the tests above it seems to be a Blackberry issue not sure how to resolve and frustrated.

    Two thoughts.
    When you did the factory reset the wise thing to have done would be add the email and test before restoring and reinstalling apps. If the problem is corrupt settings or data, you might end up restoring the problem. Testing beforehand gives you an whether or not the stock software install is ok.
    If you didn't test with clean device, I would do a security wipe or repeat the reset to factory and test.
    If you did test on clean device, then I would do a clean OS install, and test.
    In my opinion the issue is software, one way or the other. You may want to go straight to clean OS install.

  • Apple TV and YouTube - Not working

    Is anybody else having trouble with YouTube through their Apple TV? It worked fine for the first 4 days last week when it was launched but now it's just "stuck" trying to connect with YouTube. Everything else with my network connection works fine so it's definitely a YouTube issue.
    Any suggestions?

    I've seen quite a few similar issues posted on this forum, in most but not all cases, restarting the tv has resolved the issue. Have you tried doing this ?

  • Sync and download not working

    I recently changed my Apple ID and password. Now my IPOD touch will not snyc and download new purchases. My Ipod still shows my old ID. Is this causing the problem and how do I fix?

    Did you go to Settings>iTunes and App Stiore and sign out and sign back in?
    Also note:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT1349 how come Apple Apps are sometimes complete rubbish and do not work - do Apple not check what you can buy in the Apple store?

    I have just bought a thermometer on Apple Store and it is useless - do Apple not check the apps they sell?  I had to pay for this one.

    Take it up with the developer. Apple did not make the app.
    Yes, Apple does have a screening process or else there would be floods of scams. When you get your email receipt, click the Report a Problem link, follow the steps and say the item was not as described (depending on how you define "useless"). Sometimes a bad one slips through.
