AppleTV doesnt query iTunes every time so misses new content

Hi,
I have this on again off again problem with my AppleTV (possibly between iTunes versions).When I open TV Shows, for example, it should give me a message saying "loading XXX library" which is good as it is checking iTunes for a list of available content.
At present (since iTunes 9) it doesnt do this so it only shows the content that was on my iMac since I set it up. As new content is added it doesnt appear as its not rescanning the library.
Anyone else have this problem?? or know the solution.
I have to repair the AppleTV with iTunes to have it check the library which is obsurd!
Dave

I am having the same problem. I have about 213 videos on my MAC... used to be able to just stream them to either one of two iTV's. Now after recent updates, I find that the iTV's do not see recently added content to the iTunes movie file. THis is whether or not it is set to sync any movies at all, or no movies (in which case it is supposed to just look at the content of the ITunes file.) It appears that iTV must build its list of files in iTUNES when it is set up, and then never updates this list regardless of whether new content is added to iTUNES. Very irritating, and not the way it is supposed to work.
Only work-around I have found is to just manually add the new file you want to watch to the iTV by selecting it and pushing sync.... then wait for the GBs to be transferred (if you have any room left on the iTV)..... AGAIN.. NOT THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK (APPLE?).. needs a fix.

  • Working with Tomcat 4 and JDO doesnt query database every time

    I have a strange behavier with an Struts-Application deployed on Tomcat
    4.1.18.
    Whe I run a a piece of the app from commandline (whiche make changes in
    the database, it is called by a cronjob) tomcat (or the PersistenceManager
    in Tomcat) doesnt query the database, so that these changes are never seen
    on the GUI... The Web-App shows the old values (the new values are seen if
    I restart tomcat!).
    Where is the problem? Or where can I configure to disable this kind of
    caching?
    I'm using KODO 2.4.3 for evalutiong...
    Thanks
    BERND

    Bernd,
    With Kodo 2.4, your only options are to disable caching for the class in
    question (see the can-cache metadata extension for details), or to make
    your cron job communicate the changed OIDs (or just the fact that changes
    have been made) to a JVM.
    In Kodo 2.5 (currently in RC1), you can set up a cache timeout on a
    class-by-class basis.
    At some point in the future, we may also include the capability to
    specify a timeout time (rather than rate) for a class, which would let
    you configure your class to time out just after the cron process runs.

  • Every time i close my itunes it erases all my music from the application, all the music is still in the itunes folder but i have to reload my music to itunes every time i turn on my computer. is there any way to keep from having to do this?

    i am looking for a solution to this problem so i can use itunes faster and more conveniently instead of having to completely reload all my data into itunes EVERY time i open it up.

    Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
    You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
    Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one. 
    In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

  • Have to restart iTunes EVERY time I want to stream to Apple TV!

    I have the 2012 Apple TV and while Netflix, Youtube, etc. normally work well, I have to restart iTunes EVERY time I want to stream to Apple TV! My iMac is always on and the newest version of iTunes is always running. It doesn't seem to matter if the iMac is in sleep mode or not, and I have a very strong wifi signal coming from my Airport Express. Every time - not sometimes - I want to access music, TV shows or movies in iTunes on Apple TV, it says my library is loading, or cannot connect. Every time. What can I do?

    WC, When I use the term Home Sharing it is perhaps a little oversimplified, it is quiet impractical and often overkill to continually restate the complete sequence of events that led me to 'a fix', however, I did not suddenly one day find a problem, switch to wi-fi and find all was well. There was significant investigation done on my part to try to find a solution. if by me saying I moved to wifi and it worked, others can move to wifi and have a fix, great. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel here, others much cleverer than me are looking at that...
    I had a functioning setup over wired until approx 2 months ago with an ATV2 connecting to Imac library, I was at the time occasionally running some software that restarted itunes once finished which may have masked the problem if it was there, unlikely though. I purchased an ATV3 with a new TV, this upon installation required an ios update much the same time as the itunes update.
    I noticed the white light on the atv3 flashing when it was asleep, this was not something i had seen on the atv2, Investigation suggested this was normal behaviour, I remain unconvinced of this.
    from that point on 'Home Sharing' did not work until a restart of itunes, it would then work all night (6+ hours)
    My mac was set to sleep over night, I tried turning that off-no difference, turned ip6 off-no difference, once it hangs other devices on the network are unable to see the itunes lib, iphone, ipad,MBP etc
    Once the thing hangs, Netstat shows a massive quantity of open ports 100/150+ to each on/sleeping atv,  a restart of itunes clears this lot. with wired, these connections start to build again, with wireless not so much.
    looking back on here shows folks have had this problem in various guises since early 2011, apple by their own admission state the last update 'fixes some issues with Home Sharing', it seems it introduced some for me...
    I am quite sure some peoples problems are down to underlying network problems however this is supposed to be 'Home Sharing' it shouldnt need a degree in computer science to configure, it should just work.
    I am not about to pull my network apart to troubleshoot any further, between mac & atv's there are 2 x Giga/switches(netgear) and an Airport Extreme(bridged), the atv cable was plugged into the A.Ex no dice and now connects w/less to the same box and works fine...

  • EVERY TIME I ADD NEW SONGS I LOSE MY OLD SONGS HOW DO I FIX THIS PROB??

    every time i add new songs to my 30g ipod all of my songs that were on there b4 get deleted. how do u put new songs on there without hav to re-add all of my old songs again??

    If the songs are still in your library, they shouldn't be deleted from the iPod every time you add new ones.
    If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
    On the 'summary' page you will see the options to:
    "open iTunes when this iPod is attached".
    "only sync checked items".
    "manually manage music".
    "enable disk use". This will be automatically enabled if you have the iPod set to 'manual' and be 'greyed out'.
    If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".
    "display album artwork on your iPod".
    Which of those do you have selected?

  • Why do purchased tracks always resync every time I change shuffle contents?

    I change the contents of my shuffle almost every day (add new podcasts, swap out albums, etc.). But if the shuffle contains songs that I've bought on iTunes, each time i change the contents of the Shuffle, those songs begin syncing again. It sometimes takes a half hour for a bought album to resync.
    So say it's 5 minutes before I want to leave work and i throw a podcast on my shuffle...any bought tracks on there start resyncing. Since I don't have time to wait for that to complete, I wind up having to delete them from the shuffle.
    Why?

    Do you use Autofill at the bottom of the Contents view? If so, do you have +Replace all items when Autofilling+ checked? Or do you +Autofill from+ the main library or from a playlist with many more songs than the shuffle can hold (in which case most of the items will be replaced)?

    Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
    In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

  • New instant message has old message that reappears every time I select new message.  Cannot get rid of it.

    Iphone 4 new instant message screen has old message that reappears every time I select new message.  Cannot get rid of it. Any known solution?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

    every time save a new contact dont Shows in Outlook 2007

    Hi,
    You need to go ahead and complete it. 
    Before you can enter a phone number for a contact, you need to enter your telephone area code and save it . This way Outlook will know how to format your phone numbers.
    You can configure this in Control Panel > Phone and modem.

  • Need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time for each new reader update?

    Hi there,
    This should be a simple question...
    Do I need to run Adobe Customization Wizard every time on each new incremental reader update, or just once per major revision (e.g. Reader 9, Reader X)?

    This question hasn't been answered because it would be better asked in the enterprise deployment forum. The Wiz is an ent deployment tool and only is used for initial deployments in most cases. You use it to customize the installer and the product when it's first installed. You could use it for any install, but that is a less common scenario.
    Usually, you customize the first version you install and then just apply updates as they are released.
    HTH.

  • Every time system create new production order after releasing sales order c

    Hi Guru,
    FG material strategy: 82 (sales order creates production order).
    After creating the sales order it goes in to credit block. Whenever we release sales order from credit block through VKM1, system has created production order. We confirmed this production order and delivered.
    But after this sales person change the sales order value, because of which again sales order goes into the credit block and after releasing sales order from credit block system create new production order even if one production order already confirmed and delivered against the same sales order.
    *Every time system create new production order after releasing sales order credit block.
    Thanx & regards
    pnu

    PNU,
    So, to restate:
    In MD04, you have Unrestricted Sales order Stock ('E' Stock) on hand.
    In the same MRP segment, and against the same Storage Location as the stock, you have a Sales Order requirement that was recently blocked and unblocked.
    During the unblocking event, the system produced a new production order.
    This is not normal.  If the above accurately depicts your situation, I would look for an altered Strategy 82, or a userexit.  SAP ATP (the beginning event of the Strat 82 process) will normally first check for the availability of stock.  Only if the stock is not available, then it will create the new production order.
    Best Regards,
    DB49

  • Clicking on the "i" button at the end of the description of individual podcasts crashes iTunes every time.

    I recently updated to version 10.5.1.42, after being seriously out of date ( I'm pretty sure I was running 9.0.1). The new version runs OK except for crashing every time I click on the little "i" button where the description of individual podcasts gets truncated. I get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close message" and the option to send an error message to Uncle Bill Gates - like he actually cares about compatibility issues with an Apple product!!
    The "i" button isn't the single most important feature of iTunes, but it is sometimes useful and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered and fixed this. I'm running XP, service pack 3 and hoping to hang on to it for a while. Yeah, I'm old and resistant to change, but I realize that you have to give in and update eventually or your stuff stops working. So I'm hoping that this isn't about XP, but if it is, I guess I'll just have to live without the "i" feature.
    Something that might possibly be relevant to this issue: I did go in and roll back to my previous video driver after, I'm told, the iTunes update installed its own and screwed with all my other settings elsewhere in my system: made my desktop icons much bigger, changed the font in my Gmail account, etc. This happened last time I updated iTunes a couple of years back and was the reason I resisted updating since then. This is also the reason I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Thought I'd try this post first and see if anyone had an answer.
    Thanks

    Simple solution... don't do that. 
    Check for Windows Updates, most likely the system is missing one or several.

  • Having to reinstall itunes every time I want to recharge iphone via mac

    Can anybody relate to the following problem I've experienced twice in a space of 24hrs with a brand new 32GB 3GS iPhone, barely 2 weeks old.
    I charge my phone usually via a USB 2.0 cable into the back of my Intel imac. The phone vibrates and charging appears to take place as normal.
    However, in the last day or so, every time I insert the iPhone charging cable, the whole thing appears dead, the phone doesn't vibrate, it's not showing up in itunes anymore and no battery charging on the phone seems to take place.
    I changed ports on my USB hub and within the mac etc. still nothing, then I reinstalled itunes again and the iPhone suddenly came to life again.
    I've now had to reinstall itunes at least twice to get mac to recognise the iPhone again. I'm using itunes 8.2.1 at present.
    Has anyone else recently experienced this problem?

    Are you connecting your iPhone to a USB hub, or direct to a USB port on your Mac?
    The former is not recommended.
