ATV Only Shows Tabs: Summary and Photo's

Trying to set up an old ATV on a Laptop and only get two tabs: "Summary" and "Photos". Can anyone please tell me how I get the TV-SHows, Movies, Music and other tabs to return?
Thank you!

you have connected appletv to itunes as a shared library with only stream options.
if you want all the tabs (and thus sync options), you will need to break the link and set it up this time as a primary library connection.

AppleTV syncs with iTunes, but only two tabs - summary+i photos

The problem started when my hardrive on my iMac stopped working. My apple TV was working fine and I continued to buy some movies while my iMac was being fixed. I had my iMac hardrive replaced and I had a backup of my itunes music folder.
Now when I tried to re-sync apple tv with my iMac, i typed in the 5 digit code fine and apple TV pops up in the device list. but when I click on the device in itunes, I only see two tabs for the device. Summary - which is mostly blank, and Photos - which allows me to select the folders I want to include. What happened to all the other options, TV, Movies, Podcasts etc. How can I get it all back?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Tony

Sounds like you are set up for streaming only, See This
Settings/computers, select 'connect to itunes.....' (not shared library), you may need to unlink your current set up first.

Apple TV showing only "Summary" and "Photos" under devices.

My ITunes is only showing "Summary" and "Photos" tabs when highlighted under Devices. No Music or Movie tab, thus I am unable to transfer iTunes purchases to watch on my TV.
After reading many posts on this topic, I read this post:
"you have your itunes set up as a secondary streaming only library.
you need to break the link and add it this time as a primary library. this will give you all the tabs and syncing options."
How do I "break the link and add iTunes as my primary library".

On AppleTV go to Settings>Computers
The sync library is the top entry on list.
Your is probably empty or greyed out.
The entries below this are the stream libraries.
Basically move down to your current entry and select it with the remote, and it should give you some kind of message about deleting it.
Delete it, go to the top line and select that and it'll generate a new code to enter into iTunes.

TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
What am I going to do?

The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

Summary and Photo Tabs only

With the new iTunes 9.0.2 upgrade I can no longer see the other tabs in iTunes for managing the content on my Apple TV Devices. When I click on the AppleTv under Devices the only 2 tabs that appear are "Summary" and "Photos" therefore I can not manage the movies directly.
Where did the tabs go? And how do I regain control?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
You have the wrong type of library set up, you need to change to a primary library after disconnecting as a secondary one first.

HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Why does Startup Manager only show Recovery HD and not my other drives like Macintosh HD and my USB drive?

I'm not really sure what happened to my Mac but when I start it, it only shows Recovery HD and nothing else. I tried re-installing Mountain Lion through my Apple ID but it states that I have not purchased it and will not let me proceed. I have bought a usb drive that has Mountain Lion, since I cannot purchase it in the apple store, on it to install it from there but I cannot boot into my USB because it only shows "Recovery HD" in Startup Manager. I would really appreciate some input from you all, thank you for your time in advance.

Either your drive is failing or has been corrupted. Please try the following. You cannot do the following unless you have purchased Lion or later. From your post that's not clear. Without knowing your exact model I cannot tell you what to do.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If your computer is a 2010 or earlier model, then you should be able to do the following:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Mini DV to Video only shows in black and white

I bought a mini dv to video from an apple shop so that i could watch films on my tv. I connected it to my tv at home and it worked perfectly, but when i try to connect it to my parents tv it only shows in black and white... both tvs are of roughly the same age...I'm connecting the yellow wire to the scart on the back of the tv to the yellow socket on the adapter
how come it works on one tv and not the other one?

When you press the INPUT button on the remote to cycle through the inputs, is "ColorStream HD" listed? Is "Video" listed?
The Xbox is connected using 5 cables, correct? Red, blue, green, white, and red?

Films only showing in black and white

hi,
I've just got the Iphone and when I try and watch a film from Itunes through my tv using the AV composite cable it will only show in black and white. The cable is new and when I've tried it with my 5th gen Ipod it works fine. I've checked the connections and everything seems to be hooked up OK. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

When installing the new cartridges, did you get the message "Original HP cartridges have been installed"?
Can you check the ink levels and actually see the been color displayed?
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Toshiba 40E220U - Only shows in black and white

I purchased a Toshiba 40E220U a few weeks ago and tried using it with my Xbox and it will only show in black and white. The Xbox has all the updated cabling (red, blue, green instead of the red, white, yellow combination). I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong and why it won't show in color. Any one have any suggestions?

Why does my ipod only show an apple and wont start up

Why does my Ipod only show an apple and wont do anything else> And holding down the two buttons has done nothing!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
