Can i Synch ATV Gen 1; despite factory restore?

I still like the idea of syncing my iTunes; streaming isn't a preferred option. Can i opt for syncing...
I am having problems doing that following removal of ATV from preferences and getting it back...
Thank you,

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.

Updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now a restrictions passcode has been set, not by me. How can this be fixed without resorting to factory restore?

Hi Mullan13,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Restoring your device is the solution for this issue, but if a backup was made you can also use that after the restore. This article provides details on how to go about this:

I realize it may not be the solution you were seeking but you should be back on track after performing these steps.

2nd gen iPod touch - Factory restore not working

I'm trying to factory restore my 2nd gen ipod touch. I figured I could simply choose the factory reset in the setting and it would do it's thing. Now it says it needs to connect to iTunes in order to complete the process. However, when I plug my phone into my (windows) PC, iTunes doesn't recognize it. It makes the normal sounds and starts charging, so I know the PC recognizes that it's connected, but iTunes will not. now, I can't do anything on the ipod - it just sits there like a brick, help!

Tap Settings > WiFi > your network name (or at least the one with the check mark). Tap the little blue > next to the name. Look at Device IP - if it starts with 169.x then your router has not issued you an IP address
You also should have "Renew Lease" and "Forget this Network" buttons. Try pressing Renew Lease to see if you then get a valid response from your router.
If this doesn't work you can try these things:
1. Reboot your router (just unplug the power cord for a minute, then plug back in). If this doesn't fix it, try disabling security to rule that out.
2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
There is more troubleshooting info [in this support article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398].
Hope this helps.

Nano 6th gen unplugged during factory restore, now it won't appear on Source list and I can't access it again!

I need to delet all the songs off my Ipod 6th generation nano. I began a restore to factory settings but my ipod was unplugged. Now the songs are still ON the ipod and the ipod does not register with my computer. It is not available in the device list. I am selling the ipod and it needs to be shipped tomorrow so going in for service is NOT the answer.

Probably too late, but try connecting the Nano to iTunes to your PC in Disk Mode and then restoring it via iTunes again.

Large library - can't synch. What gives?

My iTunes music library is way too large for my iPod classic, and I haven't synched for quite a while. I just updated to the most recent Itunes.
There used to be a "do you want iTunes to select the songs for your iPod" option, after it told me my library was too large. Now all I get is the "can't synch/your library is too large" message, and when I click OK, nothing else happens. [the synch options for movies, TV etc are unchecked, and I am desperately trying to avoid picking songs, playlists manually]
Is the "iTunes can create a playlist for your iPod" still available? and if so why can't I access it?
I considered restoring the ipod to factory settings, but I am afraid i could end up with an empty ipod, and no way to add music.
thanks

When your iPod is connected, go to the ipod's screen, music, and then select "selected playlists..." instead of "sync all music". Then create a playlist with the music you select that will fit on your iPod.

Can't Synch.."disk can not be read from or written to"

Hellppp...trying to get daughter's IPOD Nano to synch. It's a 3rd gen video (squarish model).
We start the log-in try to synch...it reads for a moment then says "the disk cannot be read from or written to". We can all her songs in the new library we created..uploaded from the Nano...next she buys 5 songs and can't synch back down to nano.
We've tried full resets, new iD's at the I-store, recognizing "new hardware on this laptop" etc. Could the nano be shot? Plays fine and loads her brothers songs fine but won't accept new songs she bought in her own store?
Help..

Hey there,
And Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document relating to this exact issue? If not, I would check it out. Make sure to work through each troubleshooting solution one at a time. Could be of help.
[Disk cannot be read from or written to when syncing iPod or Firmware update failure error when updating or restoring iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207]
Otherwise, I would try completely formatting the iPod through Windows and then restoring it through iTunes. Instructions on how to do this can be found below. Its worth a shot.

Cannot connect ATV 2.0 (factory restore) to wifi (tried all secure modes)

Restored ATV to v2.0. ATV sees the wireless network but cannot connect. Have attempted all types of encryption settings:
1. WPA2-PSK: AES, TKIP and mixed mode
2. WPA-PSK
3. WEP 128bit, hex and ascii.
Using Buffalo Airstation WZR-HP-G300NH, firmware 1.74. Wireless was working fine at current version (3.x?) prior to factory restore using WPA2-PSK. I recall having these same issues on another router when I first got my ATV and finally had to revert to WEP 128bit 26 character hex code to get it to work. Unfortunately, that's not working with this router.
Ethernet plug is dead, so I can't connect it directly to the network.
Any ideas?

Closing this as answered. Went into Apple, they pretty much confirmed that both the wifi and ethernet were dead. It was out of warranty so I just bought a new one.

How to stream content from Mac or Ipad to ATV Gen 1

I have an unlocked ATV Gen 1 ( just bought 2nd hand ) and I want to stream content from either my MacBookAir or my ( Jailbroken ) Ipad 2 to the ATV which is connected to my nice big TV.
I can view all the integral stuff in ATV and also view/listen to movies/music in Itunes.
I really want to view BBC TV which is streaming on my MBA or Ipad onto the ATV.
How can I achieve this?
I've dabbled with Airshare ( a Cydia app ) on the Ipad but that doesn't seem to work.
Of course, I can run a HDMI cable directly from the MBA/Ipad to the ordinary TV and throw away the ATV but I want to do it wirelessly.
Surely this is achievable with ATV?
Thx,

Mr Churchill, I assume that you are talking about "live broadcasts" when you assert that I can't stream 'anything'?
Of course, I can 'stream' videos/music/podcasts/photos which are in my Itunes library of any of my devices to the ATV .
I'm pretty sure that I have read postings where content displayed on an IOS device can be mirrored in Audio/VDO to the ATV.
If this only realates to content contained within ITunes then confirmation will be regarded as the correct answer ( if not the one I wanted ).
Can someone pls assist

My ATV gen 2 won't connect to the internet over a wireless BT home hub 5 network

My ATV gen 2 won't connect to the internet over a wireless BT home hub 5 network. I've recently upgraded to a BT HH5 and now I cannot airplay with my 2011-MBP, and the ATV will not connect to the iTunes store or software update.

Ok, thanks (not sure I know what you mean!). I have seen a solution that tells me to rename the two SSID's? Is that what you mean? All my devices are wireless, and all can connect to the internet except the Apple TV. Now I have disabled the 5GHz channel all devices are on the 2.4GHz channel and all work fine, including the Apple TV and airplay between my MBP and ATV.

Did factory restore now I can't reinstall some apps

Hi,
I have a 2nd gen ipod touch. I think in the past that I musy have update the iOS but not sure what to. I did a factory restore which put it back to 4.2.1.
Now when I try to reinstall my apps some of them are coming up as incompatible with the iOS. These include TuneIn radio pro, Office2 and Card Shark Collection. Previuosly these all worked fine.
Is there anything that I can do to get these working again (short of buying a new ipod)?
thanks in advance

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.

Apple TV Gen 3 takes too long to load 15,000 photos. Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

I just purchased Apple TV (Gen 3) It takes too long to load my over 15,000 photos for viewing. This was never a problem with my ATV (Gen 1). Do I need to go back to ATV Gen 1?

Do you have a technical question?
What have you done to troubleshoot?
Typically issues like this are related to the local network. First thing would be to try ethernet, if on wifi. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV, router.
You can go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network.

Can't do factory restore & only disks that keep ejecting are the osx install and apps disks

First of all let me say, this is my first Apple computer and I'm not experienced in forums. Please do not read rudeness into what is actually frustration at searching forever for a solution and trying not to wish I had been talked into an Apple. With that said....
I've had my iMac for about a year and a half. We had lost our internet and were using a hotspot for awhile so we could look for another provider and get online if we needed to. One day I signed on and, we didn't have an isp mind you, but the browser opened up to the dominant isp in this area saying a virus was detected coming from this iMac address? I thought that was strange and panicked so decided to do what I would on a pc, just restore the whole thing to factory settings. Everything was going smooth, (my updates were at 10.6.8 at the time)... when I restored I was back at 10.6.2. (osx disk) I was doing systems updates and one apparently hung.... when told to restart, I did... but the computer would never boot back up. It would turn on.... go to gray screen... then blue screen... then shut off. I couldn't boot in safe mode, pram reset did nothing, smc reset did nothing, couldn't hold 'd' to get to diagnostics, couldn't boot to recovery... it kept spitting out disks after trying to read them... with all those solutions I found online and nothing helping I had to call Apple... they couldn't help over the phone because Apple Care expired, unless I purchased help... this frustrated me because every where I found my problem and a different solution their Apple Care had expired too.... so had to set an appt at an Apple store.
So took it in to Apple, just got it back yesterday. I let them know I was restoring to factory settings so wasn't worried about losing anything. When I picked it up, I was told no charge... it was a software issue they saw where it hung and fixed it. I tried to ask questions about the 'software repair' but they didn't seem to want to answer my questions. It just says 'software repair' on my order. So I asked 'okay, so it's back to factory settings like when I bought it?' I was told yes and I said great that was my goal anyway. I get home and it's NOT like when I first purchased it or like a factory restore. Everything I was doing before it crashed is on there. So I'm back to trying to do a factory restore. But for some reason now, it seems the only disks that keep self ejecting are the osx install and application disks. I still can't do a boot recovery, AHT, or 'c' boot... since the apple disks eject I can't use start up to get to them.
I find it odd that both the oxc install disk and applications disk would be damaged at the same time when they both previously worked. I called the Apple Store where I took it to talk to the geniuses that worked on it because I had a question about the repair they did....
Apple: I'm sorry we don't offer tech support
Me: I understand but I had a question about the repair done from there the other day
Apple: We are just a store and can't answer tech questions
Me: I understand and get that but since I took my mac to your store to be worked on I thought I could ask the person that worked on it a question about the 'software repair' and meaning and what software was repaired
Apple: No you will have to set another apt to bring your computer in if you are still having problems
Me: UGHHHHHH (pulling hair out)
So (a little late huh?) to make a long story short giving what I stated above:
Why is it, only the osx install and application disks not working now? They worked before taking it to Apple
What can I do at this point?
Can you do a factory restore without disks on a Mac?
If by chance both disk did for some reason go out, how do I get them replaced?
If I gave TMI without enough important info let me know.
My OS X install disk says version 10.6.2 on it
About this Mac currently says Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Batteries died on keyboard and mouse so am using usb wired keyboard and mouse
At some point I had used bootcamp and then later found parallels so I could install a Corel product and keep using... could some windows files be messing something up in there somewhere?
It used to say Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and I could have sworn I saw it said 'snow leopard' in there somewhere, now I can't even find that word in search on the computer. Long post I know but trying to set what was going on at the time I took it in.
I'm not sure what else needs to be added to get this to the correct thread or help. As I stated my goal is to have it like I just pulled it out of the box for the first time so no solution will scare me off about loss of data.
Thanks for any help.

Wow, sorry to hear of your experience. Seems strange that your disk would just eject like they did. It could be a lot of things but more than likely you just kind of have to start all over.
What I would do is insert your system disk and instead of going immediately to an install I would go to disk utility and erase the drive. That will erase everything on the disk and give you a new blank disk to start with. After that I would try to reinstall the system. Assuming that goes well then you should be restored to where it was when you purchased it. After that you can reinstall all your applications or personal files. I hope you have good backups.
I remember one time I was having a similar problem and don't ask my why I did it but I actually could not get it to install a system. I removed both of my ram sticks, shut the computer down for about 10 minutes including unplugging it from the wall plug, then reinstalled the ram, plugged it back in and started up from the system disk and all worked just fine. To this day I have no idea if pulling the ram helped but I have never had to do it since and for some dumb reason that solved the problem I was having, which is the same problem you are having now. Call it voodoo but it worked.
Good Luck!!
