How MOVE TV shows to Apple TV, not just SYNC?

I have some TV shows on my MacBook Pro that I want to MOVE to my Apple TV (to free up space and because I don't ever really watch TV on my computer).
How can I do this, please?
Thanks.

not a good idea. see this user tip.
instead, get an external HD and let iTunes move the files to it. courtesy of *Chris CA* come these instructions:
+Point iTunes prefs -Advanced - iTunes media folder location to the NAS.+
+Don't uncheck anything or delete anything from iTunes.+
+In iTunes, select all the files you want to copy to the NAS.+
+Then right click - Consolidate selected files.+
+This copies the selected items to the location on the NAS.+
+You can then delete these from the iTunes media folder (\Music\iTunes\iTunes media\Movies)+

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Movies & TV shows from iTunes Store won't sync to TV

I have a late 2009 TV 160GB and I have recently noticed that all of my movies and TV shows that I have bought from the iTunes store are not on the TV anymore. My computer s authorised and I am logged into my iTunes account on the TV. I have tried erasing it and restoring it's factory settings but nothing will work. I have made sure that all the checkboxes on the movies and shows are checks and have re-synced the TV and they are still not appearing. Please help, this is getting really frustrating.

Could you possibly be viewing the titles in an 'unwatched' view.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

As far as I know they can't be deleted, just remove any personal info from it (credit card details etc) and stop using it.
If you downloaded any content via it then you will need to remember it and it's password, as content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so if you move to a new computer you'll need to authorise the account on it if you want to use any of its content there (or if you bought apps with it you'll only be able to download updates to them via that account)

How do I uninstall an app entirely, not just deleting it from the Launchpad?

How do I uninstall an app entirely, not just deleting it from the Launchpad? I've delete the app at the Launchpad, but the remaining files of it are taking up space in my macbook. How do I do that?

As Cunnla says, the best way to remove an application and all auxiliary files associated with it is to use a developer supplied uninstaller or, lacking that, directions on uninstalling from the developer. Unfortunately, there are a number of applications which have no developer uninstaller nor instructions.
Some won't recommend it, but I use AppDelete for those apps with no instructions. It gets rid of most auxiliary files and I've never had a problem with it. I just make certain that the auxiliary files that AppDelete selects are, in fact, associated with the application.
My 2¢...

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

"Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

Hi barryfromwarrington,
Welcome to the Support Communities! There are two things I can think of to keep your Stepdad's information separate from yours on the computer and the iPad. On the computer, he should have his own administrative account, and on the iPad he needs his own Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud services. Here is some basic information to get started. I don't know if you have a Mac or Windows computer, so I'll include info for both.)

OS X Yosemite: Set up users on your Mac
If your Mac has multiple users, you should set up an account for each person so he or she can personalize settings and options without affecting other users.
Add a user
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
Click Add below the list of users.
Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
administrator: An administrator can add and manage other users, install apps, and change settings.
Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Using a password hint is recommended to help the user remember his or her password.
Click Create User.
For an administrator, select “Allow user to administer this computer.”

Usually means that critical system files are corrupted. Start by:
Boot into Safe Mode if possible. If it boots into safe mode, then restart the computer to see if it will boot normally. Otherwise, reinstall OS X. Unfortunately, you've not provided any information in your profile about what version of OS X you have installed.

I want to move voice memos from iPhone to PC (not just sync to itunes)

Hi,
I want to move voice memos from my iPhone to Windows desktop. I saw several posts about syncing them to iTunes. Thats not what i want. I want to copy them to my desktop not just sync to iTunes. Unable to copy - paste from iTunes either.

impossible to do anything simple on iTunes, I managed to wipe all my recorded voice memos when I tried to move my files from iphone to desktop, instead they just "sync" I never got the point with sync, why can't you just export files and import files from desktop, simple as that why make it so complicated

How do I get my Apple TV NOT to control my Macbook volume?

We just recently bought an Apple TV. We synced it to our new remote to control volume and everything. Now, when we're on the Apple TV, when we move up and down on the screen, my volume on my Macbook Pro goes up and down with the tv. How do I get that to NOT happen.

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

I believe it's a bug: How do I fix the 'items could not be synced. See iTunes' issue on iPhone?

Hello,
I've read previous discussions that are marked as fixing this issue, tried them, and they didn't work. Including deleting the cache.
Everyday I've synced my iPhone since the iOS 5 update, I've had this alert: '54 items could not be synced. See iTunes...'
When I go to iTunes, no clue, no buttons, etc..
I do know now what items those are, by sheer coincidence.
I clicked the triangle near my iPhone device in iTunes and saw 4 greyed out items under Television. They were 4 tv shows I had purchased and then deleted from my iPhone. I never synced them with my desktop. Yet the device is trying to sync something that supposedly has been deleted.
So then I clicked in Rentals, and there are 50 items greyed out. All Rentals I watched through my iPhone since I've purchased it. They get deleted after 48hrs you've started watching. Desktop is trying to sync those as well. Even though they also have been deleted from my iPhone.
So now I know what those 54 items that cannot not be synced came from, but not how to fix it.

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
"iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.
