Grr... please someone help me and stop me going mad!!!
I've just got a 160gb apple tv and running a macbook so all is good in the apple household, that is until i try and sync my movies or anything thing in itunes over to the apple tv, stream works but as soon as i log out of computer poof everythings gone.
Even after it says it's synced the apple tv still shows as nothing used on the capacity used bit of itunes
all i wanted for christmas was to save my movies to apple tv!!! please someone post me an idiots guide i've try doing what it said in the manual and for me to have to use a manual was hard enough (being a man and all) so for it still not to work!!! Grrr!!!
Please help!!!
Two areas to look at:
Firstly if everything disappears from the tv when you turn off the mac or disconnect in some other way, this is because you are watching or trying to watch streamed content rather than synced content.
You watch streamed content by selecting 'my itunes library' from the source menu on your tv.
You watch synced content by selecting 'tv' from the same menu.
Once you have correctly identified whether you are watching streamed or synced content, you can then determine whether or not content is syncing as it should.
The fact that your capacity chart indicates your tv is empty suggests you have not synced anything, but the fact that itunes and or the tv tells you are syncing and appears to complete tends to contradict this.
One possible reason could be that it is syncing, but syncing nothing because you have not yet selected any content to sync.
With all this in mind, can you tell us how far into setting up syncing you have got.

Please could someone help me - new to Ipod going mad!!!!
Just purchase ipod shuffle, I also got $50 Itunes music card.... follow instructions but when i redeem voucher it thinks I'm in the US, if anyone could help please do as i'm loosing intrest in ipods pretty fast. thnks
Well, you know an iPod shuffle is useful without purchasing music from the store — you can just use the music you already have.
But the question is — where was the music card purchased? Was the music card purchased in the US? This would mean that you have to use it in the US store. You can also change which store you're looking at by going to the iTunes music store and using the popup in the bottom middle of the iTunes music store main page. This popup will allow you to select which country you're in. -
Ok one day out of the blue my ipod just stopped working it wouldnt turn on nothing but after recovering it, it's fine now but there is only one problem my screen wont work i can't do anything on it not even unlock it please someone help!!!!
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me
If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

You do know where the project is, don't you? Select the project in the finder and get info for thr project. How big is the file.
You can find how to trash your preferences <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html">here</a>.
You do have the media on separate drive, don't you? If yes, unmount the drive with the application closed. Drag it to the trash. Trash your preferences. Launch the application. Reset the scratch disk if you have to. Open the project. What happens? -
i updated my phone to ios7 normally through the settings and everything was fine untill i was installing it and it asked me to go to itunes so i did and downloaded it again and installed it again and its working its all upadted but it said my phone cant be activated because it cant reach the activation server? i connected it to itunes again and it still didnt work it said the same thing now and now it sent me here please someone help?
Apple's activation servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

25k Limit in iTunes Match? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
I have been collecting music steadily for almost 25 years now. In 2009, before selling them on eBay, I had over 2,000 CDs in my collection. At that point I ripped them all into iTunes and stored the files on an external drive. I have continued to steadily collect music since then...ripping CDs borrowed from friends, free (and legal) downloads, bit torrent concert DLs from places like Archive.org and yes, many purchases from the iTunes store.
Currently I have 45,962 songs, weighing in at just shy of 264 GB. I have a 260 GB iPod Classic which I LOVE, but unfortunately outgrew quite some time ago (260 actually means 241 or so). Needless to say, I have very eclectic taste in music, and one thing I LOVE to do is listen to my ENTIRE collection on shuffle. I also have 30-or-so playlists which I add tracks to as they come up on shuffle. Once I reached the limit on my iPod, I set it to only sync checked songs and began systematically unchecking songs I don't like or like "not-as-much." This worked fine for some time, but I am all out of files to "uncheck" (I tend to only buy music I like). Additionally, I now need to quickly uncheck a bunch of files every time I get new music, if I want to listen to it on my iPod. For some time I held onto some hope that Apple would put out a 320 GB Classic, but sadly that is never going to happen.
I have a 16 GB iPhone 5, but storing music in that would be ridiculous.
Since getting my Mac, I have a renewed passion for my iTunes library and music collection (not-so-fun with semi-functional PCs). I am finally able to organize my library like I like to, and would LOVE to be able to access it remotely. A friend recently told me to check out iTunes Match, which reads like Storybook Fantasy in its description. Imagine my disappointment to learn that there's a 25k song limit! Tracks purchased from iTunes don't count toward the 25k, but I am not about to start re-buying 90% of my music just to use iTunes Match. I purchased a 3T WD My Cloud, hoping that would solve the issue, but apparently Apple's proprietary restrictions prevent the iTunes server from streaming remotely on my device using this service.
I read here in the forums, someone's instructions on how to essentially have TWO libraries, scaling one down to 25k...WHAT? I'd be better off just sticking with my Classic, which fits around 33k songs!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...Does anyone out there know of any way to accomplish what I want to do? I want to be able to access and play my entire music library (about 46,000 songs and growing), through iTunes (playlists, play count intact), through an app on my phone.
I own the following equipment:
(Late 2014) 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (running OS Yosemite)
260 GB iPod Classic
16 GB iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.1.2)
WD 3T My Book
WD 3T My Cloud
Thank you. Please help. Thank you.

Why is it nonsense?
iCloud Drive storage is not the same as iTunes match. ITunes Match does not store your music but matches with what's on the Apple servers and uploads non matched music.

Where shall I start?
The music that is uploaded to iTunes Match (as you mentioned) is stored in iTunes Match. If it is not then where exactly is it? User uploaded tracks are subject to a 25,000 limit. There is no limit to the amount of iTunes purchased music.
All music stored in Match (either uploaded by you or purchased from iTunes by you) is available for streaming or download to an IOS or OSX device (Windows may be download only)
It's nonsense because it is almost entirely incorrect.
