Apple TV Won't Sync With All My Movies In iTunes

Hello,
I have been having various issues with iTunes on my iMac (kept getting damaged files, etc). AppleCare, The Apple Store and myself seem to finally have it resolved. However, each of my devices have to be synced once again with my "new" iTunes Library. Everything has been going well except for the AppleTV.
I have about 30 movies that I had on my AppleTV before the problem arose. These are all my own productions made with iMovie, etc. When I try to sync them now I am only able to download about 15 of them onto my ATV harddrive. No explanations given. I try to select and deselect the movies and sync over and over but still no luck.
I am up to date with all software.
Any suggestions?
Tom

could the missing content be corrupt or not in the correct format for appletv?
play one of the offending files in quicktime and open "movie inspector". post the results and we can advise if it is the file causing the problem or not.

  • My purchased music on apple tv won't sync with iTunes on my macbook pro

    I purchased music through my Apple TV and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to sync/redownload the music to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro! Is there any way around signing up for iTunes Match? Or is that the only way? I've read on another discussion that if I try to delete my music on Apple TV and then redownload it on my MacBook it might register that I've already purchased it and hopefully not charge me twice, BUT now I cant figure out how to delete music from my Apple TV! Im usually very "tech-savvy" but am having a rough time thus far, someone help!

    Quick links is still there, top right corner of home page in iTunes store (use your Macbook Pro).
    Check for available downloads is not the same thing. Syncing an iPhone will only transfer content that is already downloaded. If you have not setup automatic downloads you will need to download from your purchase history.

  • Apple TV not seen on ITunes; Apple TV won't sync with Mac anymore

    The Apple TV no longer shows up on Itunes and when I get Apple TV to show up on the devices list on Itunes after putting in the secret code, the Apple TV says it is syncing to my Mac when in fact it is doing nothing.
    I also noticed that while the Apple TV is trying to sync, I no longer see the different types of files to sync. I just see "Other" and I no longer see photos, movies, and audio.
    I have tried syncing the Mac to the Apple TV overnight twice and still not a single file gets transferred to the Apple TV.
    I upgraded Itunes to version 8 and I upgraded to MacOS 10.5.5 too.
    Please help.
    I have also tried streaming content from the Mac to the Apple TV and it now says the format no longer is recognized.

    Right now it says it is syncing but at the bottom it says Other and Free.
    That indicates there is no content on the tv.
    It is syncing not streaming.
    Yes but it doesn't sound as though it is syncing any content, it could just be syncing/updating the library database file.
    This syncing happens randomly but nothing is transferred to the Apple TV. While it is trying to sync, I don't see Movies or Video or Audio at the bottom just Other and Free.
    This is what you would see if it was syncing the database file.
    When you turn off itunes, do you have any content on the tv you can watch.

  • I Tunes 10.4.1 won't sync with Apple TV

    Ever since I upgraded to itunes 10.4.1 everything is running extremely slow and computer has locked up twice.  Ipod Classic finally synced but took a very long time.  Apple TV won't sync at all.  Can anyone tell me how to make my 1st generation Apple TV sync with itunes 10.4.1?  I'm running Windows 7.  Apple are you listening???  Are you going to fix this mess???

    Then your problem may well be a network problem rather than just showing photos.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

    Try quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad -  and then see if the app works OK.
    To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • I replaced my HD in my iMac, now my Apple TV (1 gen) won't sync with iTunes, I turned on sharing on iTunes now iTunes wants to stream everything to my Apple TV. I can not longer manually run sync in iTunes?

    I replaced my HD in my iMac, now my Apple TV (gen 1) won't sync with iTunes, it does not even show up in the device section of iTunes.  I turned on sharing in iTunes now my Apple TV shows up in iTunes device section and when I click on it iTunes shows me a streaming sync page as if my Apple TV were a gen 2 unit.  ITunes  wants to stream everything to my Apple TV. I no longer can manually sync my iTunes with my Apple TV.   In the Apple TV menu when I select computers Apple TV shows me my old hard drive with a lock next to it, when I click on it I get a warning that if I continue I will erase the entire Apple TV.  Do I need to erase the AppleTV and start from an emty Apple TV HD?

    Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
    The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
    To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
    I have done all of that but not luck.  That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok.  I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised.  I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

  • My ipad 2 has deleted all mail, and is completely blank, can't send or receive, and won't sync with computer?

    The mail on my ipad2 is completely wiped out, totally blank, it won't sync with the computer, nor will it send and receive, everything else is running fine and syncing ok, can anyone help? The settings are all ok but just when you click on mail it comes up as a blank page......very bewildered, thanks.

    Since writing this yesterday, I have found that other iPhone owners have had the same problem in my immediate area. AT&T claims there was a problem the same day with the local cell tower. Despite that, AT&T customer service phone reps keep telling me that I need a new phone. I don't believe one rep knows what the other is doing.
    So as a word of advice, don't go out and buy a new phone until you are absolutely sure. My iPhone is working fine.

  • I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

    I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
    With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
    With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

  • IPod touch 2nd g won't sync with iTunes

    My iPad 3 syncs with my MacBook 2007, Lion only, through iCloud but now my iPod touch 2nd g won't sync at all through iTunes. So does this mean it can no longer sync with my computer? The "sync iPod" under edit in iTunes 10 latest version is dimmed and won't sync.
    I suspect I have to give up the iCloud and live manually.
    Apple used to just work. Now I feel I'm swimming in the land of MS.

    Can you describe your problem further? Are you getting any error messages in iTunes? Just appearing to sync as normal?
