Can't get TV in iTunes (can't sync)

What a pain. I guess I hadn't noticed since my last 3 months were all "rentals".
I can't get iTunes 9.0.2 to "Show connected Apple TV's" (check box is).
What I've tried:
Reset the AppleTV (removed all but my most recent "not synched" purchase).
Re-installed iTunes 9.0.2.
Changed all my wireless settings (no firewall in Security) and reset my DSL modem and wireless Belkin router.
Deleted the iTunes .plist file and rebuilt the Library.
Ran the hardware (Menu plus minus key) on the AppleTV (no errors or issues).
What works:
Computer and AppleTV can connect to iTunes. Everything plays and works as intended.
I can play audio from iTunes to my AppleTV (speakers show like "airtunes").
Quit and re-launced iTunes dozens of times. Unplugged the AppleTV at least 3 times.
What it is not:
A .plist file or a bad Library.
A hardware issue on the iMac or the AppleTV.
A network issue or a firewall blocking something.
Anyone got something else for me to try?

I assume you mean the tv doesn't show up in your itunes device list.
What I've tried:
Reset the AppleTV (removed all but my most recent "not synched" purchase).
I assume you mean removed all content except that which was purchased on the tv and hasn't yet been transferred back to itunes. Can you tell me how you did that since I would expect that the only content you could remove from the tv without doing it through itunes was content purchased on the tv and not yet transferred back to itunes. The only way to remove content which has been put there via a sync from itunes is to deselect it in itunes and resync, but you would need to see the tv in itunes to do that.

At this stage it sounds as though you have tried most things except relinking the library to the tv and restoring it. By the way what software are you running on the tv.

  • I get error message iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data

    I get error message iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data on my wifes phone how do you correct problem without losing calendars info on phone.

    One thing that might help.
    1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
    2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
    3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
    4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
    5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
    6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.
    7. then click apply on the bottom right of itunes.
    This will overwrite any events on the iphone, including any events that has become corrupted.
    Hope this helps

    hi there,
    i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
    just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
    turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • How do I get music from my PC, that was originally from CDs, to the iPod touch?  I think you have to get them on iTunes 1st, then sync them over to the iPod?  How do you do this whole process?  Thanks, I'm very NEW at this.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    The sync the music to your iPod by:

  • Why can I not get to the iTunes store or sync my iPod Touch?

    I am not able to sync my iPod or go to the iTunes store at all. I have turned off my firewall and my anti-virus and still can't do either. So it is obviously a problem with iTunes does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I am just frustrated that this won't work because its the program I use the most.

    Looks like there's a general problem across the US and UK at Apple's end. I've not been able to connect since this morning and there are loads of threads on here about the same issue.

  • NANOgen 7 , cant get any itunes U to sync to it ?

    Title says it all.
    I cannot seem to get anything from Itunes U to sync to it ? Is there something im not getting like a restriction ?

    you have to Convert them from file->Create new version -> ipod/iphone
    They no longer are organized in itunes as itunes u and just get dumped into films .
    Exceedingly lame. it also takes for ever to convert files but it is working now.

  • "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".

    I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" every time I sync the iPhone 3GS with iTunes by USB.  Can anyone help? Please !!!!

    I posted the following to "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "xx" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. What does this mean??" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15820680#15820680
    I haven't seen it mentioned but the secret is to
    Sync only selected calendars
    Select "Remove Calendars" from the popup window
    (This is ambigous: from where are the calendars removed?  From the device being synced to)
    Click apply.
    Oops!  My memory is already gone stale.  I think I left no calendars selected, then clicked apply.  Then I selected the calendars that I wanted, then clicked apply.
    In any case, I had a blank calendar on my iPad and then I had all the updated events that I wanted on my iPad.
    Thanks to all who provided some of the essential clues to resolving this problem.

  • Itunes could not sync mail account ... because the iphone canceled the sync

    Hello
    I get the error "Itunes could not sync mail account to the Iphone "........" because the iphone canceled the sync
    Calendar, Bookmarks, Music and Video are Syncing ok
    Strange !!
    Any Idea ?
    Best
    Cyril

    i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

  • How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

    How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!  I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one.  I tried his security questions to no avail.
    Thanks

    Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will  need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I can't get my itouch and iPad to sync to transfer the videos that I bought from the iTunes store

    I cannot get my iPad to sync from my iTouch.  I went to the setup and they said it would work when I got on my own wifi. Yeah right,  all of my videos purchased from iTunes are still on my itouch and not on iPad ?....

    You can't sync from an iPod to an iPad (or vice versa). If the videos are not on your computer's iTunes then you can copy them from the iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and you can then sync them from your computer to your iPad (depending upon what country that you are in then you might also be able to re-download them directly on the iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app).
