Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
I get a message
If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop
Please help. seems like I had this issue before but do not remember what caused this and how it was resolved

I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
Infuriating.
Any ideas?

How to transfer a TV show episode rented in iTunes 10 to Apple TV 1st Gen?

I've rented an HD pilot episode of "Lie To Me" show on my PowerBook in iTunes 10. Unfortunately, the video is very choppy (it's only a 1.5 GHz G4) and I'd like to transfer the episode to my Apple TV.
I've read about how to do it, went into the device Apple TV menu in iTunes 10, but I do not see the rented episode anywhere under any tab. Drag'n'drop obviously doesn't work either. Is it even possible to transfer a rented show from iTunes to ATV? I've done it with rented movies in the past, but never with TV shows.
I had to rent, because this show is not available for rent on ATV, only for purchase. Which I'm not interested in.

What is even more disappointing is the lack of information regarding this topic on the apple.com support pages. Nowhere does it EXPLICITLY tell us that 1st generation Apple TVs cannot show rented TV programs. One place where this could be signaled is on this troubleshooting sheet - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1359
Otherwise one could spend 3 days trying to trouble shoot this issue and resetting their Apple TV !st gen over and over without success. The only place that comes close to explaining is on the TV program download page but it only states that the product affected it Apple TV 2nd generation without having the courtesy of telling us that the 1st gen cannot play such content.
Please, please, please make it clear to the many 1st gen Apple TV owners that they cannot view rented TV programs. This will save us time and the more time we are not resetting our Apple TVs the more time we will be purchasing content on iTunes. Less frustrating for us, more money for you !!!!!

TS1424 Some but not all of my purchases from iTunes store (TV shows) have been downloading in a Quicktime format that can't be viewed via iTunes or on apple TV (1st gen). I get error message when I try to convert.

Since I have a new iMac and now use Mountain Lion, I am observing that TV shows purchased in iTunes sometimes download in a Quicktime format that will not open in iTunes. In some but not all cases, I right click "open in" and select iTunes and then it will play. However, this doesn't always work. When I open in Quicktime and try to export to iTunes, that won't work. When I try Wundershare's Video conversation program, it won't even accept the file. What's going on here? Any ideas? Please reply [email protected] with any suggestions.

Thanks for the help Ricky.
I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

Apple TV (1st gen): how to free up space?

how do i delete some of the content to free up space for new content?, Apple TV (1st gen) : how do i delete some of the content to free up space for new content?

If you want more space or take certain things off then just manualy select what you want on it. I just check the shows I want on it the when I want them off I uncheck them and then resync he ATv to get them off etc.. Easy as pie....pi !
As for the purchased items not going away, scroll down to make sure that playlist is not checked on the computer under movies or shows etc...

How do I save itunes when upgrading from osx4 to osx5 ?

how do I save itunes. bookmark, when upgrading from osx4 to osx5?

When you upgrade attached to iTunes a backup copy is made...then after the upgrade the backup is used to restore all the content to your iDevice, assuming you are actually talking about upgrading from iOS 4 to iOS 5.

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

How to recreate list of media or Library in iTunes and link to Apple TV (1st gen)

Here's the scenario:
I have the iTunes folder pointing to an external device (Time Capsule). I have most, but not all of my media content on the Time Capsule, as my MacBook Pro only has a 122GB drive. (Yes, I have been warned that changing the iTunes folder has consequences, but I'm sure iTunes is still happy I'm buying content.)
I also have different content purchased on the Apple TV which is not on the Time Capsule, or on my MacBook Pro.
Upgraded iTunes to 10.4.1 & result - list of media AKA 'Library' (TV shows & Movies) was reduced to nil.
(Thank you Apple - not what I expect, although iTunes is the most obscure piece of software I have ever used.)
I re-added all the Movie and TV content stored on the Time Capsule to the 'Library' in iTunes, called "MyLibrary". I am unable to add the content on the Apple TV to that same library.
When on the Apple TV I can view all content stored on the Apple TV. It currently is linked to an old library and it is greyed out on the Apple TV. I am afraid to disconnect it in case the information in that library indicates that the content has been synced, in which case that content will be 'removed' from the Apple TV.
The 'Computer' link on the Apple TV points to a shared Library --- "MyLibrary".
If I add the shared library "My Library", I can view the content stored on the Time Capsule by accessing "Shared Movies"/"Shared TV Shows". That's good, however ...
I want to integrate the two libraries together and to copy the purchased content on the Apple TV (1st gen) to the Time Capsule.
(Just had a thought ... if I could arrange to download those purchases again, the problem would be solved.)
The reason I want to do that is I can not 'see' the content on the Apple TV through iTunes, nor do I have a duplicate copy of all that content on the Apple TV should the Apple TV storage fail. Also, I cannot connect to the Apple TV through iTunes except through the Shared Library "My Library", which now only contains content on the Time Capsule.
I know this is complex, but for those of you who understand the innerds, do you have any suggestions?
Thx
Moira

I'd strongly suggested posting this in the ATV forum if you haven't already.

How do I save the contents of all of my saved mail folders?

How do I save the contents of all of my saved mail folders?

Oh, I see...
All the mail is stored in ~/Library/Mail (and its associated subdirectories).
Your Library holder is hidden by default under Mountain Lion (and Lion, too?), so hold the Option key when selecting the Window menu in the Finder to add it to the menu, from where you can access it.

How do I activate iTunes Match on Apple TV? Just signed up for it but can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV. It works on my phone and ipad.

How do I activate iTunes Match on Apple TV? Just signed up for it but can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV. It works on my phone and ipad.

Ive had to reboot my Apple TV before I had the option to enable iTunes Match but it did not see my music library. I tried a second reboot and it still says my music library is empty. Its been several days and I can access my library on a Windows PC, my Mac and my iPad so Im all synced up, my Apple TV apparently just wants to be stubborn.

I will soon be purchasing a new PC running Windows 7. I need to know how to migrate my iTunes Library and apple devices to the PC. Is there a previously published support document on this topic? Thank You.

Connect a blank powered external drive to the PC.
Right click on the Disk in the File manager and choose format: exFAT
(if it's a XP machine, first install exFAT from Microsoft and reboot)
navigate to your user account folders on the PC and drag and drop copy (or copy and paste) to the external drive.
(if a program has your files, then export them out first)
Hook up the drive to the Mac, and transfer files to the desktop or to their same appropritate folders.
Import photo's into iPhoto program, import music into iTunes etc and they will manage those files.
You can continue to use the external exFAT drive between Mac's and PC's
Do not format the drive NTFS or FAT, NTFS can't be written too by the Mac and FAT can't hold over 4GB sized files.
If you format exFAT on the Mac, it likely won't work correctly on the PC.
"Migration" type programs are a utter waste of time and effort between PC's and Mac's for the fact that only certain files (and no programs or anything else) will work between them, also it's a hassle and takes too long. So don't even bother with it.

How can I save iTunes videos in my icloud?

Hi how can i Save iTunes videos in my icloud?

You can't save your iTunes films and/or TV programmes in the cloud, whether they will show in the cloud for redownloading in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app depends upon what country that you are in (they can't be redownloaded in all countries) and whether they remain in your country's store (rights-holders occasionally remove their items).
You can copy your iTunes downloads to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of them, and not have to rely on being able to redownload them from the store.
