How to sync previous purchases to new 2nd Gen appletv?

I tried searching but didn't find any posts that answer my question. I had the 1st gen apple tv and purchased many songs and movie titles. How do I sync my purchases to my 2nd gen apple tv?

ATV2 doesn't have syncing capabilities, unlike the 1st model there is no permanent storage.
You use home-sharing to see your iTunes library and you can access TV shows purchased via iCloud. If you have iTunes Match you can access that from the cloud via ATV2 as well.

    I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

  • How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

    how to sync ipod to a new computer when your old computer is dead

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

    - Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod  under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
    - Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.

    I changed my apple ID on the same account. How to download previous purchases?

    You should be able to redownload content (what you can redownload depends upon the type of item, what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store) via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes
    Depending on how you updated your account you might need to log out of your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out) and then sign back in (Store > Sign In) for the update to be recognised.

  • HT1386 I have an 80GB iPod that was purchased in 2007 and I cannot figure out how to sync it using the "newer" iTunes format.  Can anyone help?

    I have an older iPod (80GB) which I used to be able to sync, but now the iTunes format has changed and I cannot figure out how to sync it.  The tutorial showed a page that should pop up when the device is connected to my authorized PC, but that page does not appear.  Any suggestions?  I need to sync my device to transfer newer music.

    If you have a PC, Control S brings back that familiar side bar on the left side. That might help.  I'm also going to askt he hosts to relocated this post in the iPod forum. This is the iPad part and you may get more device specific info there.

    You should be able to do it as described on the page that you posted from, assuming that they are still in the store e.g. via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your phone, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (which you can then sync to your phone).

    There is this user-tip about syncing a device to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
