ATV Not Syncing again.

I reported a similar problem earlier about syncing issues with Apple TV. This was eventually resolved by doing a clean reinstall (Combo version of OS 10.6.3). This worked well for about 2 weeks.
However the recent software upgrades of OSX 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2, Safari 5 and iPhone iOS4. All of which was carried out in that order. Has left a similar problem is that the ATV shows up in iTunes>Devices however when it tries to sync I get an error message, referring to "Firewall settings". It also gives a Port Reference 49152 which I think is associated with Fast User switching whatever that means.
+My Firewall Settings are:+
+Mode:Limit incoming connections to specific services and applications+
Services:
+Apple Remote Desktop: Allow all connections+
+Printer Sharing: Allow all connections+
+Remote Login (SSH): Allow all connections+
Applications:
+com.apple.AppleVNCServer: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.iChat: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.iTunes: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.mail: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.Safari: Allow all connections+
+org.mozilla.firefox: Allow all connections+
+Firewall Logging: No+
+Stealth Mode: No+
The only other upgrade I carried out recently was to iGlasses for use in iChat but I cant confirm if the sync issue was affected by this.
Can anyone explain how to see and set the individual firewall port settings in OSX 10.6 as this seems to be on an application only basis?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have done some further investigation. The Apple TV was obviously recognised by iTunes as it shows in >Devices. However it did not automatically start sync when recognised. When starting Sync from Button or by Menu it did not sync and I received the error report.
Despite being unable set Port settings in the Sharing>Firewall folder. I decided to delete and reselect only the Applications required.
This removed the AppleVNCserver set list in original question above.
My Firewall settings are now.
+Mode: Limit incoming connections to specific services and applications+
Services:
+Apple Remote Desktop: Allow all connections+
+File Sharing (AFP): Allow all connections+
+Printer Sharing: Allow all connections+
+Remote Login (SSH): Allow all connections+
Applications:
+com.apple.iChat: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.iTunes: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.mail: Allow all connections+
+com.apple.Safari: Allow all connections+
+org.mozilla.firefox: Allow all connections+
+Firewall Logging: No+
+Stealth Mode: No+
This has resolved the syncing issue for the time being. But I will monitor it for the next couple of days to ensure it is a permanent fix.
Thanks for your interest.

ATV not syncing all of movies

Just purchased new macbook 2 months ago and aTV; have installed all updates including new itunes update. Everything was working fine until yesterday turned on aTV and about 1/3 of movies in itunes not showing up in aTV and will not sync. Can't figure out why. All my movies are in the same format and were working great last week (syncing/streaming). I can add new movies to itunes and they will sync/stream just fine. I also click in itunes to create aTV movie on one movie that won't sync and it says it is allready in the aTV format. All my movies play in quicktime and itunes just fine. They all sync with ipod touch and play just fine.
Any help would be great.

could be a corrupted iTunes library file... (i.e. not the folder, but the text file that has all the info about the media in iTunes)
just to get it working.. sounds like you could just go to movies in iTunes do select all (Cmd + A)... press delete (when/if asked choose.. don't move to trash) and then select all your movies in the finder and drag them back into the iTunes window again... from what you've said this will likely work too.. might try deleting one and put it back and see if that works first.
or if you wanted to start from scratch... you could actually delete the iTunes library file (it's file in the iTunes folder that holds all the info about what is in iTunes).. remove all the content in iTunes go to movies, music etc and delete everything.. remember to choose not to move to trash. then add it all back (can just grab the containing folder (iTunes folder if that's where everything is) you can take the whole folder and drop it on the iTunes window don't need to select each file.. which would take forever) and you will have a fresh, iTunes Library file.
remember if you have things stored on different drives and you don't want them in the iTunes Folder press ctrl as you are dragging and they will not be copied into the iTunes library and just a reference to their location will be noted in the iTunes library.
[edit] to see the other checkbox just open up iTunes... click music or movies.. does't matter.. look at the list of any media an to the far left of the list are checkboxes... these turn off syncing to iPod and appleTV... maybe you just didn't notice them before? but just in any list of anything has this checkbox off to the far left of the list... there is a checkbox for each piece of media.

ATV not Sync'ing Photos

I have an ATV and I have been able to sync my music, movies and TV Shows with my iTunes on my PC. The photos also sync with my iTouch and iPhone but will not sync with my ATV. Any suggestions?

They all are .jpg's and are stored in My Pictures folder on my PC's HD. I have created the following hierarchy within My Pictures: My Pictures -> Year -> Month and then I have all the pictures for that month. I don't believe that any tags have been added to them that would cause any issues because they sync fine with my iTouch and iPhone. When I sync with my ATV and iTunes, iTunes just sits there for as long as I will let it trying to sync my photos with my ATV.

ATV Not Syncing Completely

The issue started last night. My ATV says its syncing in iTunes but none of the updates and recent additions to iTunes are showing up on the ATV. All of my old music, movies, tv shows and photos are available but that's it. It also shows ATV is syncing in the iTunes window for hours and hours...

I had a somewhat similar problem, except that it was with my streaming computer. (My syncing computer continued to work just fine because it was still running iTunes 9.)
After updating to iTunes 10, and after running fine for a couple of days, all of a sudden my "shared" lists were not reflecting anything more recent than April 2. So, I did the "disconnect" (as has been suggested as a cure). However, when I tried to reconnect, I could not get the ATV to show up under DEVICES in iTunes 10.
Some folks have reported success at getting back in operation, as discussed here:

Outlook not syncing - again - 9.1.1

Today (May 17, 2010) I downloaded and installed the latest version of Itunes. I had an older version of Itunes running because the last version would not sync with Outlook calendars, contacts and notes.
I followed the bulleting board and it seemed that 9.1.1 was ok with Outlook.
For me it's not. Once again I cannot sync? Ideas?

How to make the Notes sync again with Outlook?

I recently changed my iPhone 5 to a new iPhone 6. At the first it did not sync at all with iTunes. After a few updates, now looks like it is OK. However, I could never get to sync or coordinate the Notes from Outlook to the iPhone 6. I have tried to all the guidelines that are posted, but basically the setting to Sync Over-the-air the notes cannot be modified, making it almost impossible to change, even when I connect the iPhone with iTunes.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot!
Sebastian

ATV not syncing any movies

For reasons unknown, when I sync my ATV all goes well except my movies won't sync. If I use the tick box for selected movies, then tick the ones I want and choose "APPLY" all I get is a quick sync and no movies transfered. If I use the tick box for "ALL" and choose "APPLY", ATV syncs only one (and always the same) movie and none of the others. BTW, that one movie is not ticked on my list.
TV shows etc. all sync properly. I have Factory re–set the ATV twice, as well as re–installed the 2.0 firmware and restarted my iMac.
Also, because of the fac reset, I lost 2 rental movies that I had not watched yet. How do I get them back w/o paying again?
thx all

Contact iTunes store support and explain to them what happened. They may be willing to authorize you to download them again or give you credits that you can use to rent them again.
Also, I'm not sure what kind of movies you're having trouble syncing, but rental movies don't sync like other content does. You can use iTunes to move a rental movie between iTunes, an ATV or an iPod/iPhone, but a rental movie can only be on one device at a time, and you can't move it once you've started watching it (it may get deleted if you try).

ATV Not Syncing or Streaming Unchecked Items.....

I'm guessing that this just started since the latest software update, but maybe I'm just noticing it now.
I have tried the automatic sync and custom sync settings, but cannot get my unchecked items to appear on my ATV any more. They will not even stream when iTunes is open.
I am having NO other issues. I have an excellent connection. It syncs new content (checked of course). YouTube works great. No problems downloading HD rentals. Etc.
Any ideas? And yes, I have rebooted both my computer and ATV.

"Everything else that is checked will automatically be streamed to the AppleTV unless that is checked."
Huh? One of us is confused.
Think about it....if unchecked items will never show up on an Apple TV anyway, why do we need an option telling it not to show unchecked items?
And managing playlists over 30GB is far too difficult of a task. That's why iPods, in addition to playlists, give you the option to sync only checked items or all items checked or unchecked. Why shouldn't an ATV give us the same option?

ATV Not Syncing - Wireless N?

Not sure if it's any help, but I slowed my router from N to G and have managed to stabilise ATV and keep it connected and in sync.

My daughter received a 4th gen. 32gb itouch for christmas. it will not sync her music. we've updated itunes, and turned off voice message syncing. (that worked for a little while) now it's not syncing again.

What happens whenyou try to sync? Error messages?
Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

I am having trouble syncing. I had this problem before and uninstalled itunes and redownloaded itunes. Now it's not syncing again. Any thoughts as to the problem?

Unwatched items not syncing with Apple TV (1st Gen)

Hopefully someone can help me?...
I have a 1st Gen Apple TV, Windows 7 64bit, and iTunes 11 (wishing I'd never upgraded now!)
I have it set up to Custom Sync (FILMS: Automatically include 'all unwatched' films with selected films. TV PROGRAMMES: Automatically include 'all unwatched' episodes of 'all programmes'. And not to sync anything else.)
Before, in version 10, if you made the slightest of changes (even marking something as watched then as unwatched) you could press the Apply or Sync button.
But now when I add a new Film or TV Show, or mark one as unwatched, I cannot sync it to my Apple TV.
iTunes marks it as New/Unwatched but the Apply button stays greyed out and I cannot Sync.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

Movies Purchased on ATV will not sync back to iTunes

I've tried "Transfer Purchases" - no good. I've gone to Automatic Sync - no good. The movies and shows I've purchased on the ATV itself will not sync back to my iTunes library, but the movies I purchased from the computer will sync to the ATV. So ... where am I going wrong?

Hi,
I had exactly this issue. It seems apple is not altogether consistent with regards to this. I phone tech support, and they assured me it was a content issue, as purchases made on the appletv in any content besides hdtv would not be synced back to the itunes library on your computer. However, in talking to the itunes support, they assured me this was an appletv issue.
Eventually they allowed me to download the tv shows I had purchased (standard def) again, allowing me to see them both in appletv, and in itunes so they could be backed up.
Moral of the story is I think, dont purchase shows in standard def in appletv, only purchase through itunes.
Hopefully they will get this sorted out in the next few days, if they update appletv at Macworld, although if its a rights issue, perhaps it wont be that simple.

I can not sync my iPhone to the computer. I keep getting up an error message that synchronization does not want to start. I have uninstalled iTunes and then reinstall it. But the same warning box will appear. How can I get my phone in sync again?

Can someone please help me get my iPhone to sync to your computer?

Hello lenmin,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where you're repeatedly prompted to authorize with your Apple ID in iTunes when syncing, please follow the directions in the article below.
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

Error message: Cannot sync songs purchased in iTunes to iTouch because computer is not authorized. I go in and authorize computer (only computer I have ever used for iTunes), seems to be successful. Then I try to sync again and it gives same error mesg

It just goes in a circle. This computer not authorized to sync purchased songs to iTouch. Follow directions to authorize computer, seems successful. Sync again and it comes up with the same error message....this computer not authorized to sync iTune purchases to iTouch. I have deauthorized the computer and reauthorized and it didn't make a difference. I updated and restored to factory settings. Still same error message. I have had this problem the last 2 times I have synced. Worked previously. Any ideas??

additional info: I looked into similar complaints. 1 suggested that something is wrong with the files. Delete them off of computer and divice (but they are not on my divice anymore) and then download them again from iTunes purchase history. Went in to check iTunes purchases to make sure the songs would be there if I did follow these steps. Well, NONE of them are in my purchase history.....probably the real problem here. I had an original iPod Nano and then upgraded to my current iTouch.....same computer for both. Could there have been a problem at the point of switching over to the iTouch? That doesn't make sence to me because it is through iTunes and it was the same account for both. I thought I'd be smart and put all the songs in a playlist and burn to a CD and them load them back in that way.....but I was not authorized to burn to a CD....go figure. Any idease would be great!!
