Cannot sync ATV after 2.3 update

Just updated my Apple TV to 2.3 and after it rebooted it did not report any errors. However, I have had to re-enter my network details - although it had joined the wireless network it had not kept the Manual IP Address - easily resolved.
When I went into any of the movies/TV stuff all my content had disappeared and it had lost its connection to my iMac. i had to reset the connection to iTunes on my iMac, which appeared to go OK. My problem is that in iTunes if I click on Apple TV in the Summary Page it simply tells me:
Name: Apple TV
Capacity: 144.75GB
Software Version: 2.3
Serial Number: <correct serial number is here>
There is no other information. No option to sync etc.... Infact the only other tab visible in iTunes for AppleTV is Photos.
Any advice? Thanks

See This, you may have set your library up as a shared library ('settings/computers/connect to itunes...' not shared library)

Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows

Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows 7.
It is fine when transfer from devices to itunes, but cannot transfer from iTunes to devices. Computer is authorize, same apple store login on both itunes and ipad, but it just wouldn't allow me transfer the apps.

Was this installed from the CD or from a download from HP?
With one system working and this one not working, it sounds like an issue with the software than anything else.

Sync problems after iTunes Match update

iTunes Match has created an ongoing sync problem for me. If Match updates automatically based on songs I've purchased from the iTunes store, then I usually have no issues with the sync function. However, if I load a CD that is not in the Match library, or if I just manually do an update to Match, it causes my 160gb iPod to take 15-20 minutes to sync. Why is this happening?

I cannot sync my music but I get the message that it is connected but it is not recognised.
As advised on the error message I have reset the Nano and re-installed itunes with the same results.
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Cannot sync iPod after hard drive crash

Hard drive crashed last week so reinstalled new from Dell. Data all backed up. Since new drive in cannot sync iPod. USB cable OK, iTunes "sees" iPod name and can download to iTunes but no sync. Do not get any kind of error msg that iPod registered on "another" computer (which it was). Still under warranty.

Try restoring the iPod in itunes. This should assure that it sync with the current computer it's hooked up to.

Pavilion g7 cannot install printer after 8.1 update.

After 8.1 update I could not print to my Office jet 6500. Tried re-installing and even with direct connection with USB cable could not install. Bought a Laserjet P1102w. It will not install. I have been through every possible suggested solution on HP and MS support and forum pages, updated drivers, downloaded installation software, etc.... No luck. HP says the model is compatible with 8.1. I'm thinking it is not and I need to reinstall 8.
Any other suggestions?

Hi jimbois,
Sorry that didn't help.
The PNP are the plug and play for USB devices. That could be causing this issue.
Check the Device Manager for any unknown or other devices, especially on the USB hubs under Universal Drivers.
You would have to right click and update it or possibly right click remove and restart the computer, to get them to install properly. Also look for the printer entry, mass storage device and remove it. You can include a screen shot if you like.
Run your Windows Updates if you haven't yet.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then right click on the downloaded driver and Run as Administrator to try and install the printer again. Don't connect the USB cable until prompted. Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet. Try another USB cable if the printer isn't being detected or another USB port on the computer.
Let me know which printer we are trying to install right now please.
If you are still having issues, let me know how the is listed in the Device Manager window.
Thank You.

OSX cannot boot-up after installing Security Update 2008-008

Hi Everyone.
I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 3GB RAM with Tiger 10.4.11.
After installing Security Update 2008-008, my OSX was not able to boot-up. The screen shows the Apple Logo and the spinning grey gear wheel. It stayed that way for several hours.
I finally switched it off and re-installed OSX 10.4.8 using the Start-up disk that came with my MacPro.
Now I've updated the OSX, all the software & updates EXCEPT Security Update 2008-08. My MacPro works fine now.
Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
Sincerely,
Azman

Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
Probably not directly. Very likely something was not quite right on your computer before the update and the update happened to exacerbate that. A number of people feel that optimizing the maintenance of your computer before doing the update and doing the update under controlled conditions minimizes problems.
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

Cannot sync Ipad after updating to ios7! Please help!

I just updated my family's Ipad, called "Soy's iPad" to ios7. I created a backup on my iTunes account just before I updated. Now, when trying to sync my Ipad after downloading ios7 iTunes gives me the error:
"The iPad "Soy's iPad" could not be synched because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPad.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store choose Store > Authorize this Computer."
So I authorize the computer and iTunes gives me the message "This computer has already been authroized." So, naturally, I try to sync the iPad again. It gives me the same "computer is no longer authorized" error message. It's an infinite loop. Please help me get my data back on my iPad.
Signing out and then back in to iTunes does not help either. Also, under my iTunes account under manage devices, Soy's iPad does not even show up as one of my devices anymore. How to I add my iPad back as an authroized device on my Apple ID?
Is anybody else having this error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated since there are many cherished memories along with important data on my family's iPad. Please help me get my iPad working again!

Your iPad is not syncing with iTunes now and before it does start to sync and before you create a backup that overwrites the current backup that holds all of your data and camera roll photos, you should probably turn off autosync. I should have thought of that before, but if the iPad isn't syncing, no damage has been done.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK.
If it doesn't make that much difference to anybody, you could try deleting the app and see if that will let you sync after you delete it. You will lose all of your progress in the game if you delete it, but - if you did create a backup before you updated - then your game progress should be included in that backup.
BTW, did you try restoring from the backup that you created before you updated, and then try to sync with iTunes? Restoring form that backup should restore the old settings that were on the iPad and the iPad was syncing properly while using those settings.

Cannot sync iPod after updating to 10.4.1 for windows. Help?

I recently updated to iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows 7 on my PC and now I can no longer sync my iPod. Once it starts syncing music, I get an error message that says "iTunes Has Stopped Working" and it does not give me any kind of resolution to the problem. I have uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and all other Apple software from my computer but I'm still running into the same issues after I've reinstalled everything. Does anyone know why this might be happening and how I can resolve the issue? I've researched the issue and it seems like a lot of people are running into this and I haven't found any kind of universal fix yet.
Thanks

Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and it syncs fine now so if anyone else is having the problem, that's the only solution I've found out there.
PS - Posting on these forums appears to be pretty useless!

Iphone4 having problems syncing music after the latest update. only half of my music has been synced. during the syncing process the system stalls and i get an error stating itunes cannot locate the file.

My IPhone 4 is experiencing an issue since the latest update. Itunes will not allow the library to sync my entire library. Itunes get stalled and the error message reads ITunes can't find the file for a certain song.

I had the same issue and was told it was because I was using Windows XP. Not sure if the same issue or not, but check that first.

ITunes not recognizing my ATV after a Windows update

Sorry to start a new thread here, but my ATV is all of a sudden not appearing in my iTunes devices list. The only thing that has happened from last night, when it was working and syncing just fine, and right now is that my computer restarted after an automatic Windows update overnight. The following updates were installed:
- MS Office Compatibility Service Pack 2
- Update for Windows Vista (KB968389)
- 2007 MS Office Suite Service Pack 2
- MS .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack1 and .NET Framwork 3.5 Family Update
and
- Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.63.1684.0)
I have made no changes to settings or anything, so perhaps something was changed in the course of one of these updates. I have already tried some of the basic things, including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and restarting the ATV, to no avail. iTunes and ATV both have been running in most current versions with no problems until now. I am hesitant to do a factory restore on the ATV, as I have done this once before and it resulted in my ATV being nothing more than an expensive brick...until my ATV magically appeared in iTunes when I purchased a new computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Sync issues after iOS 8 update

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5S, 64 GB. After updating to iOS8 I got sync issues. "Waiting for changes to be applied" never disappeared. Also the storage usage in iTunes 11.4 is wrong. iTunes said I had 6GB free, when I had in fact 20GB. I restored the phone back to firmware, restored the backup. All was fine until I made setting changes in iTunes what I want to sync. The same issue in iTunes is back again. I already deleted my voice memos as someone recommended in another threat but that didn't help.
Any ideas how I can solve the problem, would be appreciated. Thank you!

Can anyone help me with iPod/iTunes syncing problems after recent software update?

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help me. Last week I updated my iPod to the latest software (8.2). Today I deleted some albums from iTunes and added a few others. I also made some changes to a few of my playlists. I then synched iTunes and my iPod. However the synching has not worked.
When I connect my iPod, it shows up in iTunes pretty instantly. When I click on sync, I can see in iTunes that it is syncing and also on my iPod, but the changes do not appear on my iPod afterwards. Also, after the first syncing attempt, I lost two-thirds of my album cover art. So, I lost covert art, but no other changes were made. The albums I deleted from iTunes are still on my iPod and the ones I added to iTunes are not on my iPod.
I have looked at the music on my iPod while connected to iTunes. I can see the songs/albums I have added are there, but they appear in grey and have a doted circle (to the left) next to them. This shows that they have not synched (I guess).
I have already restarted my McBook Pro and iPod a few times. I synched my iPod with iTunes after every restart, but it has not made any difference. I also deleted the music I added to iTunes and added it again. I synched iTunes and my iPod after this, but it has made no difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks
Summary:
Updated iPod to iOS 8.2.
Made changes in iTunes i.e. delete and added music
iTunes and iPod show they are synching, but changes to not appear on iPod.
Also lost cover art on iPod after synching.
Products:
iPod Touch, latest generation
iTunes 12.1.0.50
MackBok Pro OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Thank you for your reply. I followed your suggestion and restored my iPod to its factory settings. I then restored it from a backup file. All the problems have been resolved. Quite incredible that I had to go through that process to fix it. I hope Apple will find a solution to the iTunes problem soon.

Calendar no longer syncing properly after 3.0 update

Anyone run into this problem? Any solutions?
After the 3.0 update, any events that I've entered into the iPhone's calendar are not showing up in iCal. As well as that, all of my iCal events have been duplicated on the iPhone...
I use Mobileme, but haven't changed anything. Everything worked absolutely fine prior. The only variation has been updating the phone's OS to 3.0...
I'm having general Mobileme issues... 'replace info on this iPhone' (from the iTunes summary control) has no effect... controlling Mobileme from the iPhone preferences have none either...
I never learn: don't immediately install OS updates. Let them work the bugs out first...

I am going crazy..I worked on this nightmare 14 hours yesterday working with 4 techs on apple mobileme chat, 2 hours in the apple corte madera store and i have yet to fix this issue. i am unable to sync either the contacts or the calenders over the air via mobileme.
Most of the techs on the chat line don't seem to even read what one writes, because they ask questions that make no sense.
i have tried numerous times deleting the mobileme, waiting 10 seconds and then re loading...
It stems from getting duplicate calender items and duplicate contacts(5404 x 2=10,808 total) after syncing the new g3s with my mac book pro. One of the reps at the corte madera apple store was able to get all my contacts and calenders off my phone, and he was able to upload my calender items over the air from mobileme, however we thought since i have so many contacts(5404), thati it would just take time. Well lots of time has passed, and i still have no contacts in my new iphone.
HELP!!!!!??

Error syncing email after mountain lion update
