How to stream video AND sync Music + iPhoto from the same iTunes library ?

Hi everybody, my iTunes library is full of Music and with movies "linked" outside itself (to a external hard disk connected to my iMac), I'd like to sync this iTunes library to my AppleTV as follows:
1) the video should be set in streaming mode hence itself not being copied to ATV hard disk;
2) the music and my iPhoto library should be sync'ed (hence copied!) to ATV hard disk.
How could I achieve that ?
Thanks a lot.

Custom sync with Photo set to sync preferentially and all music syncable checked in the device music tabs.

Is it possible to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library?

Hi,
I am having trouble in setting up sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
Config :
Mac OS - Latest update 5/6/09
iTunes - Latest update 5/6/09
Apple TV - Latest update 5/6/09
I am able to either sync OR Stream from my iTunes library but not sync AND stream from the same iTunes library
Let's say i want to sync :
Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
Add Library (Not shared for Syncing)
Enter passcode in iTunes and select the items to sync
After sync is complete
You can see photo, music & video in My Photos, My Music & My Videos.
Let's say now my Apple TV is full
So like to stream some other content
Now
Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
Add SHARED Library
Passcode is shown in apple TV but not able to Enter it in iTunes (click to set link is not there next to Apple TV item under devices)
To get that you have to right click the apple tv from the devices and select don't sync.
You will get a message saying that all content in apple TV will get deleted.
If you say yes then only the passcode screen for streaming is presented.
So i am not able to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
Any idea?

1. The checkbox for "show only synced content" should be unchecked
yes
2. No need to Add Shared Library
correct
3. After syncing is complete as per the steps said before, if i have to see a synced content i go to My Movies for streamed content i have to go to Shared Movies?
no... both synced and streamed content show up all together. there is no way to tell what content is synced or streamed when looking at it on the appletv. it is seemless as in there is no difference in how it is presented.
you also need to make sure you are using "custom sync" rather than "automatic sync", as you can't select the "show only synced content" box when using "automatic sync".

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

From what I can tell this is a bug.
A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

How can I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned

Syncing 2 iPhones on the same iTunes Library

Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library? So games etc get synced to both phones? BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?

"Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library?"
Yes.
" So games etc get synced to both phones"

Itunes recognizes each device, so you can set each to sync whatever you like.

Can I sync 2 iPhones with the same iTune library?

I am currently using an iPhone 3GS and have no problems with it. I also have an iPod Classic synshed to the same iTunes library with no issues.
My question is: Can I also synch my old iPhone 3G so that my kids can use it to play some games, videos and music, synched from my library, with SIM card?

Try it and see what happens. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
If you DO have problems, put the phone in Airplane Mode. And see if that helps.

Duplicate Contacts After Syncing Two iPhones from the Same iTunes

My husband and I each have an iPhone that we sync from the same iTunes account. We sync our Yahoo contacts as well. Following the upgrade yesterday, we each now have each other's Yahoo contacts (as well as our own) showing up on our iPhones. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached for iMessages at. Uncheck the phone number that you don't want to use and check/select the number that you do want to use on each phone.

Can I sync two iphones to the same itunes library

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can sync multiple devices with a single iTunes library.

Is it possible to synch and stream from the same iTunes library?

We have two Powerbooks in the house, each one contains our own individual iTunes library. Powerbook 1 is synched to ATV. Powerbook 2 just streams to ATV. Because each Powerbook can obviously be moved to different parts of the house, we want to be able to stream each iTunes library to ATV (in the living room) AND play the same library out of the Powerbook in a different room.
When using our iPhone Remote to select the iTunes library on Powerbook 2 (the 'streamer'), an "Airplay" section appears at the bottom of the "Settings" screen which allows the output device to be selected as the Powerbook and/or ATV - meaning that the same music can be played through both devices in different parts of the house - great!
However, the same "Airplay" section does not appear at the bottom of the "Settings" screen when the iTunes library on Powerbook 1 (the 'syncher') is selected - and the music just plays through the Powerbook 1, not ATV - not great!
Is this somehow because it's not possible to stream the Powerbook 1 library to ATV because it has been synched? It feels as though there must be a simple way around it?

you can sync multiple macs to one ATV, one at a time. use the Finder and set up your first itunes library. make a folder and give it a name. then drag that itunes library file into that folder. launch itunes and make another library synced to the same ATV. Make a folder give it a name. The only issue is remembering to drag out the proper library, don't change the library name because it is not a one to one relationship.
I never tried multiple libraries at the same time to one ATV but I am doing one Mac to two ATVs, each with their own library and synced.
Helps me keep track of my library and then my wife's.

How can I sync 2 computers with the same iTunes library?

I have an iMac and a MBP, and I want to keep my iTunes library the same on both machines. Is there an easy way to do this?

Home Sharing is the easiest way to do this.
It works automatically if your music has been bought from the iTunes store.

HT1495 I just purchased a new I-phone 5s and gave my 4s to my wife. Can we both sync our phones to the same itunes Library.

I just purchased a Iphone 5s and gave my wife my 4s can we both share my existing Itunes library. If so how do we go about it?
I'm lost. Help

You can sync as many iphones/ipods/ipads as you like to one computer/library.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync
Do the same with the other iphone.

HT1373 How can I make all of my devices use the same iTunes library?

I have an iMac, Macbook Air, Macbook, iPad, iPhone and an iTouch. So, as you can imagine, I have many devices that need to be on the same page at all times. I take my Air to campus with me and use it for classes, along with my iPad, so I usually plug my iPad into my laptop for updates, dowloads, transfers, charging, etc... The same with my iPhone. However, when I get home and I plug my iPad or iPhone into my iMac, it does this whole (This iPad is currently synced to another library, would you like to Erase & Sync to this library). No. I want my Air and iMac to be the same so I can plug my devices up to either of them without having to worry about erasing or adding anything that I don't want erased or added.
How, if at all, can I accomplish this?
Thanks!

You can't. An iOS device can still be synced with only one computer. That is making sense have it referer to multiple files from your computer (backup, iTunes medias, sync information).
As you will only sync your iOS with one computer, it is iCloud you need to use to keep all your content in sync. While on the go, you use your iPad for a purchase for exemple, iCloud will allow you to push that purchase to all your devices automatically. Though, it doesn't mean that it will sync with any devices.
iCloud will allow you, once properly configure, to use any documents, media, purchases, apps, bookmarks, content, calendar, email... and so one in sync from any of your devices without the assle to sync from an iOS device.
