Can't find movies when sync apple tv

Have bought a new iMac. Setting up Apple TV worked well, but... When I try to sync I all of a sudden can find "settings" and "pictures" as tabs, movies, podcasts, etc is all gone. Help!

Contrary to the new model wich allows only syncing, the old Apple TV (1st generation) allows syncing and streaming from an iTunes library.
For syncing you should pair your Apple TV (1st generation) to your computer's iTunes Library instead of just connecting it to it's shared iTunes Library for streaming
Here you will find the explanation on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1143
If your Apple TV (1st generation) was already paired and/or connected to your computer I suggest that you first  unpair it and/or disconnect it.

  • Can't find computer when syncing

    I think I understand how syncing works and have intermittnet luck with using it.  I have plugged in the iphone selected sync over wifi, synced everthing but when I unplug my phone (iphone 5, using io6.1.2) the device disappears from the column on the left in itunes and I can't sync wirelessly.
    Any ideas??

    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.

  • HT1498 How can I find out when a movie will be available for rent?

    How can I find out when a movie will be available for rent?

    You can't. A movie's only available for rental if the copyright holder allows that; nobody except for them and Apple would know when or if a specific movie will be.

  • Can't find Movies

    When i go onto i tunes UK site version 7 there is no heading for movies in the i tunes store, however when i look on the US site there is a section for movies. The US site will not let me purchase anything as my account is for UK store only. Where can i find movies on the UK site or how can i purchase on the US site ??

    Movies are only available in the US at present and unless you can show some form of residency there you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
    In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
    a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
    b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
    If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
    .......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.
    I believe the plan for the Movies is to roll them out to other stores in 2007. However whether or even if the UK store gets them in 2007 will depend on the negotiations with the film distributors for the region.

  • Where do I find movie bundles on Apple TV?

    While searching on my laptop for movies in iTunes I notice several movie bundle options, but I can't find them on my Apple TV. I prefer to download movies to my Apple TV to save hard drive space on my laptop. I know one option is to download movie bundles in iTunes and then sync my computer with the Apple TV. I prefer not to do that. Does anyone know where I can find movie bundles on Apple TV?

    OK, question has been answered.
    First, movie bundles are a group of movies ranging from 2-4 that can be bought for the price of one. For example you can buy all four Lethal Weapons movies in a movie bundle for $19.99 ($4.99 a movie). This feature can only be purchased through iTunes. Once iTunes syncs with the Apple TV, then I can view them from Apple TV.
    Second, I didn’t understand the purpose of Apple TV. After speaking with Apple and reading discussions, I want my Apple TV to sync with iTunes. If my Apple TV looses it’s data, I have a way to restore any data that has been lost. Now to learn how to have my library store on an external hard drive.
    FYI - I submitted a couple of suggestions to Apple. First offer a monthly rental subscription to be competitive with RedBox or NetFlix. Second, partner with hulu or offer something similar to hulu with the option to purchase episodes. These two features only being offered to Apple TV owners. If you agree, make sure to submit the feedback to Apple.
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

  • I have replaced my faulty hard drive on my macbook air 1.1 and need to reinstall the original software where can in find this on the apple web site?

    I have replaced my faulty hard drive on my macbook air 1.1 with a new ssd, I need to reinstall the original software,where can I find this on the apple site?

    There is no download for the software.  The factory software that you are looking for is called ilife.  It is all of the software that would have came preinstalled with your mac on your original hard drive when you first bought it.  You will have to get new software on your computer.  This might actually be a great opurtunity to upgrade to Lions.  Search the Lions software in the mac store and it will come up.  Click add to cart and check out.  The price for it is $20.  I defientely recomend Lions, it has alot of new great features.  Then wate for the install disk to come in the mail.  when it come just pop it in and follow the step by step instructions.  If you dont want to upgrade to lions however you can download the ilife package from apple.com for a small price.  Hope this helps.

  • How can I find movies created in past versions of iMovie?  They are still on you tube but I want the original higher quality versions and I can't find them anymore.

    How can I find movies created in past versions of iMovie?  They are still on you tube but I want the original higher quality versions and I can't find them anymore.

    Paul -
    I'm sorry you've lost files, but when you set up an account as Guest, there's a message that clearly states "When a guest user logs out, all information and files in the guest account's home folder are deleted". If you want an account where files are retained, you should create an Admin or Standard type.
    You will need to use data recovery techniques to see if your file can be recovered. The more that you use your computer, the greater the risk that the file will be overwritten. You can contact a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers (which will be expensive, but you can judge the value of the file) or try something like Data Rescue. The latter has a demo which you can install to determine if your file can be recovered, and then, on purchase, you can actually recover the file.
    Good luck!
    Matt

  • Just bought an apple iMac went to import music cd only to discover it doesn't have a cd/DVD player can't find any on the apple site what do I need to buy to import cd into ITunes

    ,Just bought an apple iMac went to import music cd only to discover it doesn't have a cd/DVD player can't find any on the apple site what do I need to buy to import cd into ITunes

    Get the Apple USB Superdrive. It is available on the Apple store page of the Apple web site. Just look under storage on the left hand column under accessories for the Mac.  $79.  I have one since I have a lot of DVD's and CD' s. I burn DVD's made from movies created with iMovie.  Works fine. You may be able to find one cheaper at Other World Computing.
    BTW, you can expect that future computers will not have optical disk drives. This is definitely true for Apple and I suspect other mfgrs will also as we move more into streaming video and downloading of apps rather than selling CD/DVD versions.
