Apple TV will not complete syncing

Got an apple TV and netgear wirless router with i-mac.
Am running i-tunes 7.1.1
I have to unplug everything and re-plug it again before i-tunes sees the apple tv as a device. It slowly starts syncing and then stops. I have to repeat this procedure over and over again. After 2 days i ave finally synced 1GB and have 15GB to go.
Does anyone know how to help me?

You say that you "disconnecting my ATV from all of my iTunes shares, and reconnecting them again." What do you mean "iTunes shares"...what specifically did you disconnect...where, what, and how? I am almost 70 years old and know just enough about computers to be dangerous. LOL
Steve Gartside suggested I try setting up my ATV configuration from scratch after ensuring that ALL library links have been properly removed from both iTunes and from the the ATV. Problem: I need specific step-by-Step instructions for doing this. I did a complete factory reset on one of my ATVs and I understand that removed all of the ATV Library Links. What does ALL Library links mean in iTunes? Where do I find them to remove them on iTunes.
Looking for help on the above.

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.

On your iPad tap Settings > Store
Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Update your iTunes to the newest version.
Try different USB cable, Different USB port.
Should solve it.
If not, try other computer!

Iphone 4 will not complete sync, stuck on last step

Updated iPhone to iOS 5.1 the other day, now iPhone 4 will not complete the sync cycle. It gets stuck on step 7 of 7, waiting for artwork to sync. I am running this on a Windows-based machine, and while I have synced daily in the past, I have NOT synced my contacts list and the like. I do NOT want to Restore my phone at this point; I'd like to see if there's a fix out there for this problem first as I don't want to have to rekey in all my contacts. Restore is last resort. I have tried everything that has been suggested (that I can find), but I am not technologically inclined and many of the answers have to do with Mac rather than Windows. Can anyone out there help?

My iPhone is recognized by iTunes. The issue is that it will not complete its sync cycle. I have tried searching for other resolutions, but I haven't found anything similar for a Windows system, only Mac.

Apple tv will not fully sync then disappear.

I work with a young man who has special needs and we have been able to use an apple tv for about the six months with no problems. It was working very well for him and he loves it.
Problem is that one day another person came into his home and unplugged the apple tv and it would not sync again. I tried everything that I could think of. I updated itunes and apple tv. I reset router and made sure all the ports and router settings were good.
I can't get the apple tv to sync, I can get as far as getting itunes to find the apple tv, but it never syncs all the way and does not transfer any data before disappearing again.
The young mans mother had a geek squad person come out to see if the router settings were okay and to see if they could get the apple tv to sync, he was here about an hour and could not get it to transfer data.
Notes:
*He uses windows vista, but i tried using my macbook and it did not work.
*He has a linksys router g.
* Has itunes 8.2 now and the latest apple tv update.
* He has norton but the settings were made sure to let apple tv stream?
* He owns two apple tv's and both are not able to sync, I only try syncing one at a time with the other unplugged.
* When I try to steam it will for about 10 mins then connection is lost.
Any advice would be a big help!

Sounds suspiciously as though something is interrupting the network frequently stopping the sync. Microwaves, cordless landline phones and various other devices including neighbouring wireless setups can cause issues.
AppleTv and iTunes are not that resilient if the connection is broken - one or other seems to refuse to reconnect unless one/other/both are restarted.
I think for troubleshooting I would try a wired sync.
This will hopefully let you work out if it's a wireless problem stopping the sync or something else eg corrupted iTunes library that gets so far then fails.
Connecting an AppleTv direct to the router with an ethernet cable - it doesn't need to be connected to the TV at this stage, but unplug an HDMI lead if there's one connected to it (leave it all connected if you have a long enough network cable of course).
Then try a sync - if it's a wireless thing it should complete the sync. If not the problem could be in itunes/AppleTv or the network environment settings.
My guess is that it's the wireless setup.
Also I assume the computer isn't set to hibrnate/sleep after 10 mins of inactivity which could abort a sync.

I have also tried to de-select the option to sync apps and all media to my iphone - syncing - and then graduatly adding things to my iphone. This works with everything except my music. iTunes just could not sync my music. I have tried diffrent songs any playlists but nothing works.

Apple TV will not stop syncing.

I have three AppleTVs that are use with iTunes on a PC. Since the last iTunes update 8.1.1, none of the AppleTVs sync properly. The SYNC NEVER STOPS. I do custom syncing that includes, movies, music, and picture from "My Pictures" folder. I note that others have had this problem but I have not seen a solution. I have reinstalled iTunes and the recent update. I have reintalled the software on the AppleTVs. I have made sure that the firewall allows communication on port 3689. All other functions of the AppleTV work. I have rebooted the wireless router. I can rent movies, etc. Does anyone really know what the problem is? When I talk with ATV support they act like they have not heard of this issue before. What should I do to correct this issue or do we have to wait for Apple to fix it with a future iTunes update?

8530--will not complete sync, receiving FREQ uncaught exception erros prior to sync

I am having a NUMBER of issues with my curve 8530. The most IMMEDIATE issue is I tried to do a sync and now it is seemingly stuck. I tried to stop and they sync process indicates it is cancelling but it appears "stuck." Of course software says not to disconnect until sync is complete but it would be nice if I remove it from my computer before I have to go work tomorrow...as it used for both work and personal purposes.
Additional issues I'm having now on a daily basis include uncaught exception errors with phone, bbm, and my internet. The phone uncaught exception error always occurs after I disconnect a call and the phone freezes showing the call as still connected however call timer and clock are no longer accurate. Please bear in mind this does not occur EVERY time I disconnect from a call and I have not been able to predict when it will begin having this issue. It also appears to randomly give me uncaught exception errors when using my email, text (SMS) feature and internet. I'm so very frustrated as this is my second BB Curve 8530--my 1st one had to be replaced after these errors began occurring and finally the phone would not reboot at all.
I greatly appreciate any help & feedback!!!

Ok the sync FINALLY gave up...but any insights on these other issues would still be greatly appreciated!!! Or even the reason for the hangup with the sync...
Thanks again!

Apple TV will not completely load Playlist from iTunes

Howdy,
I have an AppleTV, the little black one, and it has been updated for a bit and it works...to a point. when i make a play list over 20 items, it leaves out different items. i made a playlist with my music and movies i have, and it has about 60 songs/movies, a seperate play list for each, and it doenst show certain things. its really frusterating cause my tv series' are broken up with missing videos. when i play it on my laptop, and change it to my apple tv, the video and audio are way off. the video is very slow, and the audio is playing normally. what can i do to fix this? or am i gonna have to call apple and tell them my story again like i did last time, just to figure out that i should have bought the apple protection plan just so i can get told to do something stupid easy i dont know about yet?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just to clarify your problem.
Some content in your playlists don't show up on the Apple TV - do they show up in their regular places, ie under artists etc.
If you play the items that are missing via iTunes and AirPlay to the Apple TV, the video is choppy and/or out of sync - does other video that is not missing from your playlists show the same problems when they are played from iTunes over AirPlay.

IPhone will not complete sync...please help!

I'm trying to help a client with his iPhone woes, every time I sync with his computer, I get the follwing error (or one similar to it):

Are you asking about the 4 digit passcode used to open the iPad? Or are you referring to our Apple ID and password?

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
