HT1751 why can't i sync my iTunes music to my 1st generation apple tv

I have a first generation apple tv with a 160 gig hard drive. i bought it specifically as a storage for itunes. I used to be able to sync, now i can only stream? help?

Spoke with Apple support on this issue. After deleting all music and playlists from the phone, unchecking ALL boxes within Music tab on phone, and syncing, music was removed from phone. Then went back and checked sync music/selected playlists/the playlists I wanted on the phone, and it successfully synced those playlists. I did lose the purchased playlist on the phone, which I like because it's my newest music, but that is easily fixed by making a smart playlist of recent purchases and adding it to the sync.
Hope that helps.

  • Why can't I sync my iTunes music from my computer to my 4s iPhone?

    After both of the newest upgrades, I'm having trouble syncing my music from my computer's iTunes onto my 4s iPhone.  After experimenting, somehow I managed to delete a couple playlists off of my phone (which when I plugged in to sync, it deleted the playlists from my library...very annoying, now I have to sort all of my music into playlists again). 
    I have always synced what was on my computer to my phone.  Why is what I'm doing on my phone changing what's on my computer's iTunes?  And why won't any of my new music sync onto my phone?
    Any suggestions or help is much appreciated, thanks!!

  • Why can't I sync my iTunes Library from my second laptop to my iPod?

    I just synced my iPod to my iTunes library on my OLD laptop and then used Home Sharing to import that content to my new laptop.
    Then, I tried syncing my iTunes Library from my new laptop to my iPod and it said " This will delete all old music, videos & movies from your iPod and replace it with your iTunes Library" wich is exactly what I wanna do! So I clicked continue and it started syncing...
    During the middle of the process a pop up appears and says " Your iTunes LIbrary cannot be synced to your iPod because there is not enough room on your iPod (additionaly 2.33GB required) "
    But I thought it would erase my songs from my ipod ( approximately 2.40GBs) and replace it with the new ones from my library (2.33GB) ???? Why didn't it? What can I do to have my iTunes Library from my new laptop to my iPod Touch?
    ( I want my iPod to be able to sync anytime to my new computer because I'm getting rid of the old one.)
    Please help, thanks.

    So I copied everything in the iTunes folder from my old computer
    and sent it to an 8GB USB,
    which I'll insert into my new computer and paste the files on to /Music/
    Will that work?

  • Why can't I sync my iTunes library from my MacBook Pro to my iPad Mini?

    I have just updated my MacBook Pro with the latest iTunes, something I swore I would never do. But I had to do it in order to sync my iTunes library with my new iPad Mini. Unfortunately, after waiting 23 minutes for the software update, I STILL can't sync my music! The only songs I can see on my iPad Mini are songs I've purchased from the iTunes Store...all two of them. The remaining hundreds of songs simply don't show up. C'mon Apple, the reason I use a Mac platform is because it just always works, unlike MicroSucks. Is this what we can expect in a post-Jobs world...?

    -_- this is a user to user forum.
    Click on your ipad in the upper right- this takes you to your summary page.
    click on music tab at the top.
    UNcheck all music and apply/sync.
    When that is done, REcheck everything, and sync again. This usually works.

  • Why can't I sync my itunes with my apple tv anymore

    I have a first generation Apple TV with a hard drive.  I have all my music, photos and movies on it.  I am trying to update my music and photo and I can't sync with my Apple TV anymore.  Has apple changed the system so that you can now only stream?

    I've had this same problem intermittently.  For me, it seems that between my Mac & 1st Gen Apple TV, they decide whether they are synching or streaming.  Since later versions, updating the software seems to overwrite the functionality of this earliest generation. My Apple TV now only has content on it that is bought or rented on it and I haven't bothered. The streaming option is not my preferred choice when my wi-Fi hub can be troublesome.  Highly frustrating when we've paid out for a device that has its own storage but we can no longer access/utilise it!

  • Why can't I sync my movies onto my ipod 5th generation?

    I have an ipod 5th generation. I just bought the newest macbook pro and started making a few iphoto videos. I transferred these videos to itunes in order to load them onto my ipod. However, itunes won't sync them because they cannot play on this ipod. Why can't they play? Do I need to change the formatting?

    What ahppens when you try?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Is iTunes 11 compatible with 1st generation Apple TV?

    I just did the update for iTunes. This new version (11) doesn't seem to be compatible with my 1st gen Apple TV. It only shows a sync for photos but not music. Even the photo sync doesn't seem to work.

    Same problem here. Some people are finding no problems while others this same problem. When I right click on the Apple TV in the sidebar, the only options are "Turn Off Streaming" and "Copy Serial Number". No sync option. The movies I had on my Apple TV before are still there from iTunes 10 but I can't add or delete any as of now. Maybe I'll try restarting the Apple TV.

  • How do I move rented movies from the itunes library to my 1st generation Apple TV?

    Any help with this would be much appreciated. If you read the Apple help functions it all seems so simple; it just tells you to select the movie & press the move button. There is no move button on itunes!! Alternatively you are asked to select Apple TV in devices - fine - and then select the movies tab. What movies tab? Nothing at all shows up when you select the Apple TV device apart from the serial number & the IP address.
    The instructions are just impossible to follow as the functions described just do not exist in itunes 10. I am just so frustrated & the only solution appears to be to rent the movie again from the Apple TV. So I have to pay twice to just watch the movie once? I HATE Apple's attitude to owners of the 1st Generation TV. They are basically just saying stuff it, we really don't care!!

    Use File -> Add to Library and navigate to the
    files you wish to select. You can also select a
    contiguous block by holding down the shift key as you
    click from first to last item in a list. Then press
    the "select" button. You aiff files should be added
    to the iTunes library
    Moriond,
    It worked! and on my first try. And all at one time. Thanks a million. I still have to delete all the AIFF files and name the songs and artists in my iTunes library, but I'll do that tomorrow. For now, I'll just close out my day with this great achievement, thanks to you.

  • Why can't I Sync my iTunes to my iPhone?

    I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes then connected my iPhone chose sync then it prepares to sync but stops before completion?

    Is this something new since upgrading operating sytems? I can get my new purchases into my phone, but not matter what I do, the new purchases don't show up in my playlists. For the life of me, I can't get a recent purchase into an old playlist. I can move the song into the phone's playlist on the computer, but after syncing, it doesn't show up on the phone.

  • TS1503 Why can't I sync my iTunes audiobook to my iphone?

    I bought an audiobook on my Mac from iTunes.  I thought it would would automatically sync to my iphone, but did not.  I got the app ibooks and made sure all my settings were set to receive any automatic downloads for books, etc.  But so far I cannot get it onto my phone.  The only two devices I use are my computer and phone.  What am I missing?

    It will only sync if you have selected it to sync.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, go to the books tab, select to sync audiobooks, select the audiobooks that you want to sync, sync.

  • HT1386 Why no wireless video sync to itunes or iphoto ? Cant belive Apple didnt include a smart way to do this.

    Are there any plans to include video in photostream or something? Do I actually have to connect to the mac manually and start iphoto to import videos? Iphoto already gets the pictures from photostream, why no videos, they could at least be synced when charging and while I am at my home network.
    Does anyone have any tips?

    It's called **photo** stream.  I suspect Apple doesn't support video in order to keep the amount of data stored on their servers aat a reasonable level.  It's a free service, so they can't be too liberal.
