Can my ATV be set to stream movies and sync music?

Can I sync my music and photos and at the same time stream my movies? I only have a 40Gb ATV and don't want to fill it with only a few movies. I have my iTunes music and iPhoto folders stored on my TC and my movies stored in a separate folder on my TC.
Thanks
Rob B

yes...
in iTunes
Summary Tab... click on "Custom Sync"
uncheck "show only synced items on my AppleTV"... this will make unsynced items show up on the appleTV menu... if they are not synced then they will stream when clicked on they act just as if they were actually synced
go to the movies tab and uncheck "Sync" (sync is off)
go to the music and photos tab and make sure "Sync" is checked (sync is on)
turn syncing on or off as you require for TV Shows and Podcasts

  • How to stream video AND sync Music + iPhoto from the same iTunes library ?

    Hi everybody, my iTunes library is full of Music and with movies "linked" outside itself (to a external hard disk connected to my iMac), I'd like to sync this iTunes library to my AppleTV as follows:
    1) the video should be set in streaming mode hence itself not being copied to ATV hard disk;
    2) the music and my iPhoto library should be sync'ed (hence copied!) to ATV hard disk.
    How could I achieve that ?
    Thanks a lot.

    Custom sync with Photo set to sync preferentially and all music syncable checked in the device music tabs.

  • Can stream movies and music, but have to sync photos?

    I can stream movies and music without taking up space on the AppleTV. I can't seem to figure out how to stream my photo library instead of sync it. Is that possible? Or must I sync the photo library to be able to browse it the AppleTV?

    a brody,
    Per knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305139, photos must be synced and cannot be streamed.
    Regards,

  • Streaming Movies and TV Shows from iTunes is very, very slow since recent update

    I have an Apple TV 2nd generation and since I updated it to the latest firmware available, that came out last week with the announcement of a new Apple TV, streaming content from iTunes servers, Movies and TV Shows, has become a nightmare. I don't think it is due to the firmaware update as I think it is due to the lack of capacity of the servers. As recent as last week everything worked fine. I would just press play and the TV Show would start almost immediatly and the streaming was fast enough that all the TV Show, past the point I was watching, was downloaded, without any delay or having to stop to rebuffer. The first time I noticed it was on monday this week and since then I have been testing streaming directly from iTunes every now and then and it never came back to work the way it did. I know the problem isn't my network. I have a 20 Mbits connection and download content at 2 Mbytes/sec on avarage.
    And I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Apple has made available content in 1080p, and that maybe it is stressing its servers even more. What I do know is that the way it is working right now undermine the entire concept of what Apple TV should be like. It has to work just the way it did when Eddy Cue gave a demonstration of the new Apple TV on Wednesday, the content played authenticated immediatly and started playing, without long time buffering. "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV", said Philip Schiller. But I can't even stream 720p content.

    I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.
    I called my ISP and applied for a 50MB package and see it it helps.

  • Help!  I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music.  I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York.  I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes.  Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

    Help!  I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music.  I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York.  I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes.  Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
    Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
    Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
    Any help very welcome!

    Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin?  I've pasted it below.
    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

  • Can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    It seems the ability to restore from backup discs was removed along with the ability to create them. You will need to temporarily install an older version of iTunes (e.g. 10.3) to recover the media from those discs.
    See Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I for a previous thread discussing this.

    I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes.  It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered.  My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again.  Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account.  I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again.  i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again.  Can someone please help me!!  Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore..   And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it  I am so good with technology and this has me stumped  please help

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Minimum requirements to stream from and sync to?

    I am considering purchasing an AppleTV and was hoping to use my old 533MHz G4 PowerMac as the "host" for my media. I'm running Tiger Server on it with a wire connection to my AirPort Extreme (802.11n). I know the PowerMac itself can't play the HD video based on iTunes 9 requirements but I am hoping I can plug my 1TB drive into it and still stream from and sync back to it.
    Any thoughts on the possibility this will work?

    as long as you can get the latest and greatest iTunes running on it, it should work fine...
    Min Rec for iTunes..
    Macintosh Software
    Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later; Mac OS X version 10.5 or later is required to play an iTunes LP or iTunes Extras

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

  • Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop.  What do I need to do to fix problem.

    Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop.  There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?

    MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
    Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
    Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
    AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.
