Finally got it to sync and then poof, ATV gone from iTunes

Got the network and firewall all set correct, finally recognized the device, actually had music playing. Went into iTunes, selected ATV, went to the movies tab to change setting and poof, no more ATV no more music, nothing. Have all latest software on ATV and my MAC including iTUNES and OS
What the heck is going on? This should just work

Tried all of the above. Every time I want to see the device in the iTunes menu I have to go through the network set up all over again. Interestingly enough, it is when I use my range extender (linksys). If I do not use it, seems to work fine. But per exhaustive testing and a long support chat, the extender works OK. BTW, one of my other MACs actually needs the range extender to connect wirelessly and it works just fine when it is on. Something strange about the AppleTV unit. At least the way it works.
Now set for hard IP address, does not matter either way.
Intego Netbarrier and the firewall on the Gateway are OFF
Permissions and UTP TCP settings are loaded.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
2) Erased phone and restored from back up
3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
11) I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
After all of these things it is now WORSE!!! My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out. My conclusion is i have no clue at this point! I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!! PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!!

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

IPad lost it's "touch" you can't turn it on because you can't slide the slider. I did a simple reset, and then a full reinstall from iTunes - neither worked. Any ideas? We are a school so I can't even afford a "chat" with Apple. So thank you.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. That will cost nothing and you will then know what the problem is and what alternatives you have for a fix.

No Back Ups when Syncing and "Back Up" options VANISHED from iTunes menu!

iTunes 8.2.1
iPhone 3GS 3.0.1
My iphone used to back up every single time it synced. Now, not only won't it do so, but right clicking on the iphone icon in the itunes contextual menu no longer even shows "back up" as an option.
Deleted the backups in the preferences window (there were two) as a post somewhere else online suggested this would "force" a backup during the next sync, but it still won't back up.
Before deleting the backups there was a "restore from back up" option in the menu, now there is no mention of back ups whatsoever.
About a week or so ago, during a sync I manually quit a backup since i was in a rush (just adding a few apps) and I've read that is always an option if you need a speedy sync. Since my iphone was often synced a dozen plus times a day, I didn't think anything of missing one backup.
Not sure if that's what caused the behavior but I'm guessing it started around that time since the most recent dated backup I saw before deleting them was from over a week ago.
Have rebooted and tried hard reset. Have restarted iTunes and my computer. Still no back up.
Have also tried connecting and disconnecting with "automatically sync when this iphone is connected" both on and off, with no effect on backing up either way.
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated! I hate going without a backup altogether. Thanks!

Shuffle appears for a few second and then it's gone! (itune 7.3)

Can't access my Shuffle since last night! (right after the software update for sound).
My shuffle mount on the desktop for a few second than disappears, it is available in Itune under devices but you can't copied or erased anything on it.
I have tried restore, restart, and all the USB port without success! ;-(
Has anyone the same problem?
Thanks

Me too. This is really poor. I plug in my shuffle and I get no status lights (maybe a quick red one then nothing). I don't know whether it is charging properly or not. In addition it will not respond to autofill. I can drag and drop things into it but when I do so, it will not play items in the proper order. I have never seen such poor software upgrades as this. It went from working fine to upgrades for both the shuffle and iTunes that degraded performance.
And don't just tell me to restore, etc. I'm no dummy.

Have a 27 imac desktop with mac osx 10.5.8, finally got out of grey and black screens etc. is there anything I can do to prevent all this from happening again when I shut down?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

"Mark in Sync" and then what?

I captured a Hi-8 tape with my D-8 camcorder (think 'DV Converter' setup) and the 1:40 master clip has the audio out of sync by about four seconds. It might be that the capture began on blank tape and it took a moment for the video and audio to settle down. I'd like to avoid recapturing the whole tape.
In the Timeline I locked the video track, dragged the audio into sync, and then picked "Mark in Sync", which got rid of the red complaint boxes. I want the slipped clip to be the new "Master" for the whole capture session. How to I preserve the slip/correction and return the clip to the browser? If I drag it back up there it seems to lose the new sync and the red 'slip' boxes return again. My goal is to 'start over' with the slipped clip and mark the scene changes on it.

The 'make subclip' command exists in FCE, but the new subclip is out of sync again.
Exporting the clip to QT movie, even without 'make movie self-contained' checked, works. I may 'print to video' anyway to create a DV backup of the Hi-8 original. Thanks for your suggestions.

HT204150 My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone. How do I recover my contacts?

My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone. How do I recover my contacts?

First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...). If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes. After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.

Whenever I try to sync my ipod, it'll say that it's syncing and then "waiting for changes to be applied" when it reaches step 5, then it closes and nothing happens. I don't know what to do :(

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone !

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.

You can look in Tools > Options > Sync

ITunes freezes after a sync and then clicking to disconnect

My iTunes is behaving very strangely lately. After I've done a sync (with my iPod Nano 6th gen), which works fine, and then click the disconnect button iTunes locks-up. It displays the spinning beach ball but never stops and I can't quit iTunes without a forced quit. On top of that, if I try to restart my Mac, my computer will not restart/shut-down etc. without a hard stop (pressing the on-button until it turns off).
In addition, just this week I been getting a message that say "The selected movie won't play on your display", "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)". This may be an unrelated issue but if you have any thoughts let me know.
Help! Any ideas as to what this may be? I've already tried to reinstall iTunes again (latest version). Thanks in advance for any help.

How long are you leaving it on the charger?
Are you connecting it directly to an electrical outlet or trying to charge via USB? USB may not provide enough power to adequately charge the device if the battery is that low.
If none of that helps, then the only option would be a warranty replacement as either the battery or system board is bad.

IPOD recognized during SYNC and then disappears from My Computer

My IPOD is recognized during the SYNC phase and as soon as the SYNC phase is done the IPOD disappears in My Computer. I have tried restoring my IPOD, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, deactivated the save power on the USB hubs and other suggestions. There is no problem with it showing up in itunes or in the Device Manager. When I plug in my flashdrive it shows up fine in My Computer. I can unplug the IPOD from the cable and plug it back in and it will again show up in My Computer until it finishes SYNCing and then again disappears. HELP! I don't know what else to try!

This list http://www.copytrans.net/helpcopytrans.php#22 of iPod not detected hints might help.

Finally got it to sync and then poof, ATV gone from iTunes
