Cannot sync any longer ATV1

I am not sure what changed but I am no longer able to sync Photos, music, TV programs or anything between itunes on the computer and the apple tv 1st gen.  I have updated to the most recent itunes 10.5, I have updated the ATV to the most recent version.  I am able to use the ATV for purchasing movies and viewing them as well as youtube etc.  I have reset ATV to factory settings.  I have disconnected the library and reconnected.  I have tried temporarily disabling the firewall, NetNanny and antivirus.  I have searched extensively and have found nothing that will fix this please help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What exactly is your problem, is it that it simply won't sync content or that it won't connect to your iTunes library.
If it's the former your library has either been changed from a (primary) custom syncing library to an automatic syncing library or to a (secondary) streaming library. See this.
To revert to a custom syncing library from an automatic syncing library, simply check the 'Custom Sync' radio button under the summary tab in iTunes.
To revert to a primary library from a secondary library, disconnect from the Apple TV (Settings/Computers/Your_Library) and reconnect again (Settings/Computers/Connect_to_iTunes) - You will need to re-sync previously synced content.

    I cannot sync any songs. It tells me, my computer is no longer authorized for purchased items. although it is authorized.

    I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

  • I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone.  Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone.  Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
    The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
    The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
    Just about time to dump apple I think!

  • Cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to iPhone

    I cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. When I select the box to "Sync Photos from iPhoto," it displays "0 photos" regardless of what other settings I try (all photos, selected albums, etc.). Attempting to sync from folders other than iPhoto works fine.
    I have tried removing the iPod Photo Cache. (First syncing the iPhone with no photos selected, then removing the phone, closing iTunes and iPhoto, trashing the cache, emptying the trash, rebooting the iMac, restarting the phone, reattaching the phone, and trying to sync again.)
    I've tried searching the internet for a solution, but have only found threads going off in multiple directions with no clear advice.
    iMac running OS X 10.9.1
    iPhoto 9.5.1
    iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4

    Additional info: I tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and even rebuilding the database in iPhoto. Rebuilding eliminated all ordering in my albums. Since this seemed to be only messing things up further, I then tried restoring my entire iPhoto Library from a previous version in Time Machine (when synching photos still worked). However, the problem persists. I am still unable to sync any photos from iTunes to my phone.

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    In brief; backup the device, recover what you can from it, download other purchases from the iTunes Store, restore the device, add content, keep a backup of your library in future.

  • IPod Sync error -48, cannot update any longer

    An intractable and frustrating problem has surfaced on my iPod and I’d appreciate any advice.
    System: Powermac G5 Dual 2.0, iPod 80GB. All newest software, firmware, etc. installed.
    Problem: A few weeks ago, after adding songs ripped from a CD, the iPod failed on the next sync. A dialog box appeared “Attempting to copy to the disk ‘Dons iPod’ failed. An unknown error occurred (-48).” I clicked OK and sometimes the same box would appear again. Then another dialog box, “The iPod ‘Dons iPod’ cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-48).” Clicked OK on that one, and the sync finishes and the iPod shows ‘update complete’ although none of the changed/added songs are added.
    I did a full restore and reload and all was well…until my next sync after songs/podcasts were added. Then the error -48 dialog boxes came back and new info was not added. A full restore and reupdate went fine, but basically I cannot resync after a full update any longer.
    Attempts to fix: Tried different cables and USB ports. Rebuilt the library per Apple’s technote. Emptied whatever iTunes caches I could find. Tried syncing only songs, not podcasts/photos/contacts. Enabled and disabled disk mode. My older 4GB nano still syncs perfectly, even adding new songs the bigger iPod rejects with the -48 error. My old 60GB photo always worked fine.
    Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks, Don

    At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for this. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a fix comes along.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
    Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me. I've tried the Apple advice of erasing the iPod in Disk Utility and restoring it in iTunes but found it only worked for a while before the error came back.

    Photos taken with iphone are not part of the sync process.  They should be imported regularly as you would with any digital camera

  • Sync applications checkbox is disabled - cannot sync any apps

    I just upgraded my iphone to 3.0. To do that I had to upgrade to itunes 8.2 first, which I could only do on a new PC. All my apps and appear fine in my itunes library. I authorised the new computer. When I try to sync, the applications are not syncing and the checkbox on the apps tab is disabled - cannot even click it on ! HELP I have wasted 3 hours already and have lost all my apps on the phone.

    You can't sync applications with manually manage music and videos selected, so make sure this isn't selected. Are you syncing contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with a supported application on your computer, and are you transferring photos on your computer, or transferring iTunes music? If so, does your selected iTunes music and photos transfer to your iPhone when syncing, and are your contacts and calendar events synced with a supported application on your computer when syncing?
    Have you tried disconnecting your iPhone followed by re-starting your computer, and reconnect your iPhone to iTunes after your computer has re-started to see if this makes any difference?

  • Cannot sync any of my devices wirelessly all of a sudden

    I had been able to sync wirelessly all of my devices (ipod, iphone and ipad) but all of a sudden it does not work at all.  I can sync with the wire to the computer, but i don't like doing that.  I have gone on to  make sure there have been no changes and everything is set up, no changes.  I have tried unchecking and checking again, still does not work.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Restart your router, PC.
    Also clean up all Apps in Multitask window on your device then restart the device.  Wait for a few minutes for iTunes to identify your device over WIFI.

  • TUNGSTEN E Had to be reinstalle​d, now my display/re​solution on my monitor has changed to fuzzy and I can't hot sync any longer

    Due to a system crash, I had to reinstall my software for my Tungsten E.  I've tried a few times using my disk, tried a couple of times getting the download from Palm, but each time I reinstall the software, the display on my computer's monitor changes the icons to fuzzy instead of the way they were, and the colors of all the other graphics have completely changed as well.  It now it won't sync up to Outlook as it did before.  Does any one know why this would be happening?  The only difference I can come up with from before my system crashed to after the crash is Internet Explorer 7 to 8.
    Thanks, Judi

  • Computer does not automatically sync any longer?

    Since installing 10.6, I noticed that my computer no longer syncs automatically with MobilMe despite preferences being set to sync daily. I noticed today that changes I had made to my Calendar on my MacBook had not showed up on my iPhone. When I went to MobilMe preferences, it said my last sync was 5 days ago. How do I resolve this?

    Hi,
    Please try to collect IIS log and then use "activesync" as keyword to have a search.
    Also we can use logparser to analyze the log.

    Besides, please try to test if the issue would occur when we use those problematic iphone to sync with working user's mailbox.

  • I cannot sync any music or movies on my ipod touch ( updated to the 5.0.1 version)

    I don't understand this at all, I just synced an album of songs onto my ipod touch but then when I went to sync a m4v file of a Tv show, it will not sync. Itunes keeps freezing. I don't even get a "sync in progress" message.

    Try resetting the iPod...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restart your iPod. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Now try the App or iTunes Store.
    If you still need help try here >  Can't connect to the iTunes Store
