Buying a season on apple tv then syncing takes episodes off ATV

I've bought seasons on Apple TV so they download directly when available... If I sync the Apple TV with  my computer after a new episode has been downloaded, it transfers to the computer but removes it from the Apple TV (annoying to say the least).  I've checked the box on itunes to sync the FULL season, however it becomes unchecked when a new episode is added on the Apple TV, as if Itunes can't figure out what to do when there's a new episode other than copy it to the itunes library and delete it form the Apple TV library.  I have the Apple TV set to sync manually by season because I removed episodes from older seasons in the past but want to keep them backed up in my itunes library. 
How can I fix this so I don't have to copy new episodes back to the apple TV?

Michele,
Thanks for giving me an idea to try. I may set up manual addresses and see if that helps. But that'll have to wait until I can be bothered!, Thanks.
Mr Churchill,
From your post, I suspect you are thinking along the lines of something generating interference on my wireless network.... I've not added anything or changed my configuration in any way - but there's always the neighbours I suppose.
When I first moved to my current flat, it took some time to find a good spot for the Time Capsule and select the right channel, but when I was having problems, my internet access was badly affected and network transfer speeds were ropey - this isn't the case with this problem.
I'll monitor the situation for a while and see if anything changes. I'll post back if I find anything conclusive.
Thanks again.

  • Ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    Connect it to itunes, and see if itunes recoginizes it.
    If not, then hold home and the power button to do a soft reset.
    If not, then you will need to go into recovery mode.
    To get into recovery mode you need to Hold Power + Home at the same time. After it goes blank, continue holding the home button while releasing your finger from the Power Button.
    You should be able to do it. Otherwise, you may need to send your Ipod in for repair.
    NOTE - Using recovery on your Ipod will erase all data and reset all settings.

  • Mac Mini turns on, progress bar loads slowly on the apple screen, then it just turns off. What's happening?

    So the power went out and my mac mini came on when the power came back on and as it was loading the power went off again. It didn't come on for a while but when it did the mac mini would load much slower than usual on the apple screen then the progress bar would get stuck at less than 50% before the mac mini would just switch off. It doesn't restart or anything, it just turns off. Go to turn it back on again, same happens, turns off. Try to boot it up in safe-mode, loads slowly then just turns off.
    Please help!

    You can boot the problem Mac to Recovery like you did before. Attached the external HD and then install Yosemite to the external HD. That will erase the external HD and the external HD will have to be formatted in Mac format.
    The Recovery link in my previous reply covered that.
    If necessary, once installed on the external HD, boot while holding the Option  key. Choose to boot from the external HD. Once booted up use Finder to copy importent files the external HD.
    I would also backup those importent file to another device/media too.
    Then replace the failed HD.
    Then you can clone the external HD to the new HD

    Note that the Free SuperDuper does not clone the recovery partition to the new drive but the paid Carbon Copy Cloner does.

  • Trouble buying full season on Apple TV -- not all shows download ...

    I am very frustrated because, for the third time, I purchased a full season of a show on my Apple TV & only some of the shows were downloaded. When I check for downloads they are not there, but they are not on my Apple TV either. All of the FAQs suggest things that I are really obvious & that I've already tried with no success. Customer Service has been very slow in responding to me. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Hi,
    Posting your question in the discussions for AppleTV may help.

  • My ipod will turn on until the apple sign then turns itself back off

    When i turn on my ipod i see the applesign then it quickly shuts itself off and on again without me doing anything, i try to charge it and it wont charge i pulg it into the computer and it wont recognize it. so i turned on DFS mode and it says waiting on ipod and doesnt change.

    Try:                                               
    - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5484608?tstart=0
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    hi im stck with my i pad and i cant access it through i tunes because i have a passcode on it can anyone help me?

    If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Hi, If I play a single episode of a full season on Apple TV / I-Phone / I-Pad, the last played adds the date to all episodes in that season, is it a setting I need to reset

    Does TV Shows show as a category under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes ? If it does, and that series is still in your country's store, then it should show there and you can download it from there (click the cloud icons) onto your Mac's iTunes library - you can then sync the episodes to your phone.

  • I synced to move all to a new computer but after I moved successfully, when I cleaned off the old one and forgot to undo sync it cleaned off my new one.

    I successfully moved my info, favorites etc., to a new laptop with the sync feature, but when I cleaned off all my info from my old internet computer and forgot to undo the sync, it then synced and cleaned off my new one. Help! Can I get my favorites and other stuff back???

    I can very well empathize and it hard for me to say it, but you can not get anything back - because there's nothing left anymore, at least not on Mozilla servers.

  • How do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    how do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    If you mean your iCloud Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you are changing accounts (by setting up a new account with a new ID), when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then create the new account, turn on your data syncing and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
    If you change accounts you will be assigned a new iCloud email address.  You will also lose your photo stream.  If you have any photos in your my photo stream album that are not saved to your camera roll that you want to keep, before deleting your orignal account, open the My Photo Steam album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id.  It sync'ed and got my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted them off her ipod.  Unfortunately, my iphone then 'synced to the cloud' and I lost all my contacts.

    My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id.  Once she sync'ed it, she had all my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted the ones she didn't want.  Unfortunately, my iphone then sync'ed to the cloud and all my contacts were wiped out (the ones she deleted).
    So, I wiped my iphone and did an icloud backup/restore.  This restored all my apps, but my contacts are still the ones from when my daughter did her update.  It doesn't appear as though I got back my contacts, even though I chose an icloud backup from before the deletion.  Logging into icloud shows the reduced/deleted contacts, not the full list I had, and I can't see a way to revert back to an old copy.
    Any ideas?  I thought restoring from the cloud would have done it, but the contacts I got were the 'current' copy, not an older/archived copy.
    I'd appreciate any ideas.  None of the articles I found seemed to address retrieving an 'old' copy of your contacts from the cloud.

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • Buying TV season passes and then the show is cancelled?

    What happens if you buy a season pass and the TV show is cancelled?
    I purchased a season pass for Fringe this morning on my Apple TV, but having just seen the overnight ratings (2.1), I've realised it might not get a full season order.
    Do Apple credit your account in this case? If so, when?
    (P.s I know I'm jumping the gun, but I'm curious)

    They refunded my multi-pass for The Tonight Show back when NBC pulled out of the iTunes store, so I would expect them to do the same for a season pass if a show is canceled mid-season. If that happens, find the season pass in your iTunes purchase history, click on the "Report a Problem" button, and raise the issue with them.

  • I deleted the applications on my 2nd gen iPod accidentally, now I can't download anything because everything's updated and the newest software isn't available for 2nd gen iPods?! What's the point of buying apple devices then?? They're meant to last long.

    So basically, am I now suppose to throw the device away??
    I was really disappointed in Apple when I found out that 1st and 2nd generation iPods cannot be updated. So my device is pointless now?
    Or is there any kind of solution?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
    Your iPod still plays music, gets and sends mail, surfs the web and does other things. to. It is old by electronics standards.

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck
