How do I add music or videos to my Apple TV

I did the initial sync with the setup but now I want to add more files from my iTunes library. When I start iTunes, though, my Apple TV isn't listed as a device. What am I doing wrong?

anything new you want to put on the appletv has to be synced to it just like you did with the other content you already have on it.

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

    How do I add music from itunes to my slideshow in premiere?

    What have you tried, and do you receive an error message?
    In general, itunes has DRM (copy protection) so it will only work according to the license... and as far as I know, Apple's license does not allow use in a new product, only in the Apple player... new product being the video you want to create

  • How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    My itunes PC no longer works.  How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC.  Apple do not provide that facility.  It can be done with third party software though.  There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • How do I add music to a school owned iPad 2?

    I have an iPad 2, that my school has loaned out to me. When I connect the iPad to my computer the actual iPad says, "Not connected", and iTunes says, "this iPad is supervised by another computer and cannot be used with this computer. Is there a way that I can add music to the iPad without deleting anything from the iPad??? I asked one of the teachers how I could add music and she said, " Here is my hint, you need to use the cloud to add music to your iPad, but i don't know what to do from that step. Please help!

    I think your teacher was referring to iTunes match. It's $25 a year. Which really when you think about it is only $2 a month. Not bad but as a student I know that still quite a bit. I'm currently trying to figure out a way outside using iTunes Match myself. I'd be very surprised if there was a way since the iPad says it supervised meaning that it can only be allowed to be managed by one computer. Pretty much just a bum deal on your end. If you have purchases you can obviously go through iTunes>purchases and download from there.

  • Can´t add music and videos to iTunes

  • How do I add mpg background video behind a psd menu in Encore?

    How do I add mpg background video behind a psd menu in Encore? The psd file is transparent and it still comes out as pitch black behind the menu. I'm inexperienced with these products so any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you have done what Russ describes and it does not work...
    Encore replaces the background layer with your motion video. So make sure you have a) a layer at the bottom (in Photoshop layer order) that is named "background," and b) no other full layer above that (for example, an image in another layer you've used instead of the original background layer).
    Also keep in mind that setting transparency in Photoshop is overridden by various Encore processes.

  • How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store.  For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them.  Not sure about Apple TV.  I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

    How do you add music to iPhone in Itunes it doesn't show up in the right hand corner anymore?

    Reboot your computer. In iTunes go to View menu. Does it say Hide Sidebar? If it does look the iPhone in the left sidebar in iTunes.
    If it says Show Sidebar and you still don't see the iPhone on the upper right try choosing Show Sidebar and look on the left.
    If it's still not showing see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
