HOW TO CONNECT MY APPLE TV 1ST GENERATION TO ITUNES

i just got an Apple Tv 1st Generation without cables. i want to connect it to my Mac and sync it with Itunes. Which cable should i get to be able to do that

If you want to transfer something off AppleTV to iTunes you can only do that for iTunes store purchases made on AppleTV, and only if they've never synced back to itunes before - when AppleTV appears in iTunes if you right click on the icon there may be a transfer purchases option.
Annoyingly there has never been a way to use AppleTV 1 as storage like an external drive to salvage video/music/photos by manually copying them to the computer - doing so would entail hacking or dismantling AppleTV to access the drive directly and even then might be less than straightforward.
The USB port on AppleTV1 is not for connecting/transfer of data but for 'diagnostic purposes'.

  • I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I've looked at that, but on my PC, "look for remote speakers connected with airtunes" isn't an option.
    The only options I get are "prevent ipods [etc] from syncing automatically" , "warn me when [X %] of the data on this computer will be changed" and "forget all remotes". Its also got a list of backups I have saved, as well as a button to reset sync history.
    When I am playing a song, the "airplay" button isn't even visible.
    I am sure that the apple tv setting is on as well. Is there anything else you can help me with?

  • Apple tv 1st Generation Remote Query

    I have an Apple TV 1st Generation and I have lost the white remote control. I had installed the Remote App on my ipad and it was working fine but it seems to have lost the connection with the Apple TV and is not showing up the Apple TV when I go into the Remote App. I got a new white remote control but to get this paired I have to I have to unpair my lost remote. This is difficult to do as I have lost it!  Does anyone have any suggestions how to get the new remote paired or to get the Ipad Remote app to work without going into SETTINGS > GENERAL > REMOTES in the main menu. Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Using the new remote, hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • HT4437 Can I use AirPlay for Apple TV 1st generation

    Is it possible to stream from iPad or iPhone to Apple TV 1st generation.

    No, Airplay does not work on AppleTV 1.  The software does not handle the protocol.
    While Apple TV 1 can handle the Airtunes protocol for audio, current iOS versions seems to ignore this from apps like Music.
    Your only option for audio on current iOS I've found is to use Remote app to control an itunes library for music and use 'Airplay' to the AppleTV for the music - iTunes still allows Airplay devices output for audio.
    You could also control AppleTV connected to a Sync or Share iTunes library using Remore but of course computer needs to be running.

  • HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

    I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • HT1515 How can I use Airport Express (1st generation) with OS X Mavricks?

    How can I use Airport Express (1st Generation) with OS X Mavericks?

    1st Generation AirPort Express will work fine with Mavericks.
    Are you sure that you have a 1st Gen Express?
    Check the model number on the side of the Express. 1st Gen is A1264.
    If you see A1084 or A1088, these are much older versions of the Express that were sold long before Apple began to use the Generation naming with "n" wireless devices in 2007.
    Mavericks will not support the A1084 or A1088. Use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express.

  • Can I use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation if I have a USB adaptor for my IPad

    Hi there just wondering does anyone know if I can use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation 16gb (WiFi only) if I have a USB adaptor, will the IPad !st generation support a A Vodafone Dongle(Irish network)

    You cannot plug a USB dongle into an iPad using the USB part of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
    The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting cameras - hence the name.
    You'd need to get a MiFi device to use 3G data via WiFo on your iPad.

  • HT1860 I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?

    I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?  I have home sharing set up and can see my computer iTunes on my apple TV.  I just can't see my apple TV movie on my computer.

    Hello theycallmeboz,
    If the movie was purchased on the AppleTV it wont show up in home sharing until that movie has been downloaded to an iTunes library. You can download previous purchases from the iTunse Store at any time. The article below goes over that process.

  • HT4972 How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

    How does someone who has a 1st generation iPad but no computer update to the current operating system?

    You take the iPad to someone or somewhere where you can update the device using iTunes on a computer. There is no other way to do it. You must use iTunes on a computer.
    Apple Stores will update the device for you. Make an appointment at an Apple Store for help.
