Cannot stop movie from syncing

Hi There,
Looking for some advice - I bought a movie from the store (on my iPhone) and I have watched it, but cannot get it OFF my iphone! I have unchecked it in "Purchased from my iPhone" playlist and it is always still there!
Can anyone help?
Thanks

All you have done is remove it from the playlist - not from the phone.
Go to the Movies section on the left in iTunes and untick it there and resync

How do I stop movies from syncing to my laptop and disappearing on Apple TV

I download movies onto Apple TV - then they disappear onto my laptop. How do I keep them on Apple TV?

you are on the appleTV generation 2 forum.. is this an appleTV generation 1 problem?
if it is a gen 1 question.. that is how the it is supposed to work.. appleTV 1s cannot be backed up so after a sync is performed items will get synced back to the linked computer (where it can be backed up) where it can be synced back to the appleTV (will be in two locations) or can be streamed to the appleTV.. if that didn't happen you could possibly lose all the content sitting on your appleTV gen 1 if you had a hard drive failure or had to restore you appleTV.
appleTV gen 1 is not intended as a archive for media, only as a temporary location to mirror some portion of the content sitting on the iTunes folder sitting on the linked iTunes library.. it functions exactly like an synced iPod.. not like an external hard drive
this is the kind of confusion relating to how appleTV functioned is why i believe apple went to a much simpler streaming only model in appleTV generation 2
in any case if this is an appleTV 1 question.. you are on the wrong forum..

Stopping video from syncing with iTunes

A frequently asked question is: How do I stop video content from being synced from my Apple TV to my iTunes? As soon as someone asks that, some frequent posters respond: Why in the world would you want to do that? Your video won’t be backed up, etc. etc. (And by the way, you can't stop it from syncing.) Here’s why we want to do that:
A large number of Apple TV users download their video content directly to the Apple TV from the iTunes Store – Jobs announced that feature last winter, and Apple prominently markets it. Many of us don’t want to keep that video permanently, since it’s either rented movies or TV episodes we’ll never watch again. So we have no need to backup that content to our iTunes.
But if we also have music and photos to watch on the Apple TV, there aren’t any good options:
* Stream music and photos to the Apple TV: Photos are slow to stream, and often I have my laptop with iTunes out of the house when my wife wants to watch or listen. (We have a wireless g network with typical average transfer speeds of 8 – 10 Mbs, so streaming a 5 MB high-resolution photo from a 12 MP camera takes 3 – 5 seconds seconds, which is an eternity when you’re looking at family snapshots.)
* Sync video, music, and photos with iTunes: The videos hog space on the laptop’s hard drive, and more importantly, syncing hogs network bandwidth for 10 – 30 minutes for each TV episode (longer for movies). The video can be stored on an external drive, but that’s extra money and an annoying hassle to keep iTunes video on the external drive and music and photos on the internal drive (so they can travel with the laptop).
So here’s what I end up doing: When I start iTunes, if it starts syncing video with the Apple TV, I immediately cancel it. Usually, we’ll watch and delete that video from the Apple TV soon enough. But occasionally there’s a movie or TV episode on the Apple TV we haven’t watched yet, and I want to sync new photos or music with the Apple TV immediately. So I’m forced to wait for the video to sync with my iTunes before it will sync the photos (despite selecting the option “Sync photos before other media”). At that point, I have to remember to delete the video from my iTunes, but only after we watch it (Apple TV won’t let you delete a synced video). (Yes, I know I can go into Windows Explorer and delete the actual file and delete the dangling link from iTunes later, but that’s even more annoyance.)
This is all pretty clumsy for a consumer product. It would be trivial for Apple to add an option to iTunes that would prevent video from being synced to iTunes, and it would better support a very common use-case.

While holding down the Command + Option keys and connect your iPod. Wait until the iPod appears in iTunes before you let go of the keys. This will stop the iPod from doing an auto sync.
Once in iTunes you will have to restore your iPod by clicking on the Restore button. Once restored you will then have to sync your content back onto the iPod.

Stop Itunes from syncing contacts

How do i stop Itunes from syncing my contacts with my phone?

I have a solution for you!
I was having the same issue. I copied albums to my iPhone and then I was deleting songs that I didn't like. But then when I Synched with iTunes, the songs would reapear. I complained about it to my husband, and he explained that iTunes was just trying to "complete" my albums. Because in the sync setting I said I wanted that particular album.
Here's the solution. Don't move the songs or the albums directly to your iDevice. Instead make a playlist and call it something like "My iPod Music" or "On the go". Add your albums and individual songs to the playlist and then move the playlist to your iPod. When you sync your playlist everything will be transferred over to your iPod. Including the Artist and Album information. But when you delete items from the playlist, they stay deleted.
One last thing, make sure you unclick all the albums in the iPod Music Sync window.
This worked with my iPhone 4S running iOS 6.01

I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note. I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds. I can't get rid of it. I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch. But, Notes will not stop. It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

How do you stop ITunes from syncing automatically every time I attach a device?

I have the option box checked that is supposed to stop devices from syncing automatically, yet ITunes STILL insists on syncing the devices automatically and overwriting gigabytes of data. I've had to spend hours finding everything again after ITunes has synced when I don't want it to. Needless to say, this is INCREDIBLY frustrating.

I no longer need an answer to this question. I didn't directly solve the problem but it solved when I was fixing something else.

You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account. Don't do that.

How do you stop audiobooks from syncing to apple tv?

I'm syncing to my apple tv and I do not see an option to stop audio books from syncing. How do I stop audiobooks from syncing to my apple tv? Thanks!

Open iTunes.
Select the device.
Select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
FYI, only the 1st Gen ATV has any content sync to it. The 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVs have no internal storage to store content.

I cannot stop emails from this community.

I cannot stop emails from this community. I changed my email preferences to "no" on every category yet I'm getting hundreds of them. How do I stop them?

Stopping emails from ASC is a three step process. All the steps in the user tip I wrote have to be followed as written.
There is confusion because there are two settings Email Notification Preferences and Email Notifications which sound the same but control different things.
As a rule if you are getting 100's of emails a day then
If you are receiving many notifications per day you most likely have selected to receive notifications from a community. That means you are getting notified anytime anything is posted to that community. Some communities in ASC can generate 100's of posts per day.
To delete the notifications you do not want to receive, select the checkbox after the notification and then press Remove Selected Notifications.
I'll alert the hosts but while you are waiting go through the steps in the tip again paying special attention to the Email Notifications.

HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

Stop wmp11 from syncing ima

how do i stop WMP from syncing all my images as well as my music? i use media player because it syncs .WAV files with their album tags, but everytime i do it tries to sync all my images also. and there's well over a thousand just unwanted junk (often i find off the internet and save because i thought it was funny)
it actually gets on my nerves, i'm standing by to hit "stop sync" when all the musc is done

If iCloud is syncing between both devices, then you need to either change or turn off the iCloud account on the computer you don't want to sync it to.

I cannot stop iTunes from trying to wirelessly sync with my devices

I've checked the box to prevent it from syncing wirelessly automatically, but iTunes continues to try to sync unsuccessfully with my iPhone 4 (which half the time it doesn't recognize) several times per hour. It is very annoying to have to keep clicking the Ok button when the dialogue pops up saying it can't sync with it, ususally two or three times, one after the other, in order to continue using iTunes normally.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to fix this?

You could try using the wifi only when you need it. This could cut down the number of times you will have to press OK. It won't fix it but it could help.

How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
Thanks!

I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...

I'd try dragging the whole folder, if it exists...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
to the Desktop & reboot, we can always move it back if need be.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist
are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.
