How to keep synced library on Apple TV but delete synced items from iTunes

I use a Macbook Pro and space is limited, so does anyone know of a clean way to break the sync connection without deleting the existing synced content on Apple TV? I'd like to move items over, and then delete from my iTunes library to save space. I will also later want to add new items to be streamed, but without causing any past synching to be lost.
Can this be done by simply unchecking the "look for Apple TV" box in iTunes? If so, how can I then stream new content from the same Macbook Pro without causing past synced content to be lost? Since the syncing is quite slow over wireless network, I want to maintain commonly watched items on the apple TV but still ave the ability to stream a new item, from the same macbook pro if possible.

Thanks for the information. Just to be sure I'm clear: after I synch the one library (which I'll keep on an external hard drive where I have more space), is it OK to keep it around and make future changes that I want synced (and then just connect that library for synching whenever I want to change what is synched)? When I change back to my on-board library (on the Macbook pro), will that library not be synched automatically? Must I do anything on the Apple TV or in iTunes, other than start up with the different library, to ensure that my previously synched changes are not superceded?
Are you effectively saying that the synching of Apple TV is specific to a single iTunes library, even if different libraries are successively used in iTunes on the same machine? The manual has basically no information on how to preserve things synced, once synced, unless you're using the simplest model of wanting your iTunes library to be actively mirrored on the Apple TV. It is very painful to see things inadvertently deleted from Apple TV, given ow slowly things move over wireless g networks...

Deleting a contact list item through Powershell in sharepoint 2010 synced with outlook 2010, does not delete the item from outlook.

hi All,
I have a requirement for updating the contact list from CSV file and updating/ adding and deleting the changes in the SharePoint list using PowerShell script. List is also synced with outlook.
The problem arises, when we delete an item from the list using PS, the item (which was earlier synced with outlook) is not getting deleted from outlook.
Strange behavior : when we perform the same deletion operation manually from the SharePoint UI, every thing works fine as required.
Please refer the below PS
#Adding the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
if($flag -ne 1)
Get-Member -InputObject $csvRow -MemberType NoteProperty | ForEach-Object {
$property = $_.Name
$newItem.set_Item($property, $csvRow.$property)
$newItem.Update()
#Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file
CreatePSLog "Deleting the records from SharePoint not in CSV file"
foreach($itm in $List.items)
$del = 0
$items | ForEach-Object {
if($itm["SAP Ansprechpartnernr"] -eq $_."SAP Ansprechpartnernr")
$del++;
if(!$del)
$List.GetItemById($itm.Id).Delete()
$List.Update();
$Web.Update();
many thanks in advance, Please suggest as I am completly stuck on this :(
Regards, Arun kumar

Hi Kumar,
Please remove the codeline $List.Update();, then run your code again, it works for me.
You may need to firstly delete the synced contacts list within Outlook to remove those undeleted accounts, then re-connect the SharePoint contacts list to outlook, then run your modified Powershell code.
Thanks

How to keep a podcast in a playlist, but delete from Podcast library?

If I move a podcast to a playlist I've created on a certain subject, and then delete it from the podcast section of the library, it disappears from the playlist, as well. How can I move podcasts to a playlist and keep them, and at the same time delete them from the podcast library list?
Thanks!

Playlists are just links to songs, videos or podcasts that are in your iTunes library. If you delete something from the library it can't be in a playlist. You can have something in the library but not in a playlist but you can't have something in a playlist that isn't in the library.

How do i delete a video or playlist from apple tv without removing those items from itunes

I don't know how to control content on apple tv. The only way i know to remove a playlist or a certain video from apple tv is to remove the corrisponding playlist or video.
how do i manage files on apple tv

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Depends which Apple TV you have.
On the Apple TV 1 you can uncheck it in iTunes, on the Apple TV2 you can't remove it, you can however give the content a parental rating and manage what content is restricted for playback using parental controls.

How to keep A3 library stored in different locations in sync.

Hello,
I use referenced files, however, even having relatively small previews stored within A3, one of my libraries is over 34GB.
Main library is stored on MP. However, to do images selection, sorting, key-wording, etc. whenever I have free time and no access to MP, I copy the A3 libraries to my MBP. To copy latest versions from one computer to another takes time as I copy entire libraries.
The question: is there are any way to copy only parts of a library that are modified or newly added?
Hopefully there are more A3 users that need the same functionality and there is an easy way implemented to A3 already.

I did some research about information merging to A3 libraries.
Firstly, I copied A3 library from one computer to another and did some changes in one of libraries. Then I tried to import entire library from one computer to another selecting "merge" option. It failed right from the beginning bringing the "The library could not be imported because it is a duplicate of the library currently running" message.
Then on MBP I created an empty library and imported entire library from MP, did some meta data changes in one of libraries and tried to import entire library to unchanged one. My fault was that I played with my original relatively big library therefore it took some time. After an import process I realized that no changes were applied. I tried it another time selecting another library to resolve conflicts - same result.
I did more experiments, however the only way to get changes merged into a library was to export modified project and merge it to another library. Then, because the project is duplicated I had to remove an original one and relocate to correct place the one I just imported.
During these experiments I found that:
- if during an "Export a project as New Library…" to leave "Include previews in exported library" unchecked, visiting newly imported library for the first time it takes a few moments to regenerate thumbnails (smaller versions of preview) and some thumbnails are distorted. And it is a bug of generating thumbnails from the previews. If a thumbnail is generated but distorted, to fix it one can open a preview, wait until "Loading…" at the top of a image disappears and close the preview or by right mouse click, holding Opt/Alt and choosing "Generate previews" from menu. However, this works fine if the thumbnails of the images are already generated and if not, this "Generate previews" is useless. Which means it is necessary to go to "Photos" and wait until all the thumbnails are generated and then use this "Generate previews" option to heal broken thumbs.
I discovered this after I activated "Photos", but did not scrolled down to force A3 to generate thumbnails, hit Ctrl + A (select all) and "Generate previews". Previews regeneration took about 10 hours on my 24GB RAM 3.33GHz Mac Pro. When it is done, scrolling through images I found that thumbs are not created and some of ones that are appearing/generating during my scroll are distorted. The results of this quite long test were disappointing.
I have one more question: I found an option to export metatags from an A3 project, however, I did not find the way to import/apply the exported metadata to the pictures it belong to but located in another library.

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

My macbook pro is already authorized, but a purchased song from iTunes keeps stating that my computer is not authorized to play it. I enter my apple ID and password, upon which a window confirms that my computer is already authorized. Yet the song still won't play and continues to state that my computer is not authorized.

If you live in a country in which you are allowed to re-download purchased music delete the track from the library and the HDD and re-download it.

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

HT5312 How do I make a new apple account and delete the one I have now? I don't know my password for the id they use and it won't let me use my current email address?

How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

My daughter has somehow figured out how to register for her own Apple ID but is very underage. She is not giving me the correct info for me to get into her email. She has downloaded some apps that I would not allow. How can I recover her Apple ID info?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
