Is there a way to keep iTunes library on AppleTV after sync and then...

Is there a way to keep iTunes library on AppleTV after syncing with my iTunes library on my MacBookPro and then erasing library on the MBP so that I can save HD space?
Will they just auto sync and either erase library on AppleTV or copy complete library from AppleTV to MBP?
Thank you for any insight you can give.

Is there any change on this with Take 2? I was really hoping I would be able to specify which movies are on both ATV and my computer, and which are only on ATV. I don't have enough disk space on my MBP to store all the movies I want to have on my ATV!

  • 4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however  this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing  itunes library with 4 separate ids?

    4  of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

    Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
    Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook.  I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't.  I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

  • HT4970 Is there a way to keep a reminder on my lock screen - and counted on the bubble of the reminder app -  until the task is checked off?

    Is there a way to keep a reminder notification on my lock screen - and be counted on the bubble of the Reminder app - until the task is checked off in the Reminder app?

    Let me clarify my question regarding the Reminder App. Lets say I set a reminder  for a task for today at 2PM. At 2PM my phone sounds and  I pull out my phone and on the lock screen is a notification of my reminder.  However, lets say I dont complete the task that I was suppose to do at 2PM  and, therefore I have NOT put a check mark in the reminder app box that the task was completed). What I want is for the notification on my lock screen to keep hounding me until I put a check mark in the reminder item. I want the bubble in the Reminder App on my home screen to contain the cound of UNCOMPLETED tasks (e.g. tasks that do not have a check mark in them).
    Is there an option in the Reminder App to do this (e.g. the "dont stop hounding me" option) ? It all seems so logical. Someone must have asked how do this before but I couldnt find it.

  • Rebuilding PC disk - quickest way to keep iTunes library?

    I am going to rebuild the disk and system on my Windows XP PC today.
    What's the quickest way to save & restore my iTunes library?
    Can I just dump the folder "My Music" onto an external hard disk, then dump it back into the rebuilt PC ?
    Thanks

    The following Apple article tells you how to use your iPod to transfer your library to another PC, which your new installation effectively is. You could easily substitute an external drive for the iPod.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    This method involves just copying the iTunes folder. If you keep music outside the iTunes Music folder, for example elsewhere in My Music and you don't want to condolidate, then copy My Music. It is probably simpler to copy the contents of My Music on the external drive back into My Music on the new installation rather than replacing the actual My Music folder on the new PC. You could upset the registry setting for the My Music folder if you delete it on the new installion prior to copying the version from the external drive.
    One point if you do have music outside the iTunes Music folder it is important to set up your account with an identical name to the one you are currently using. This is becuase the library stores the full path to your music files and if it changes, iTunes won't find files that are not in the iTunes music folder.

  • Error Message: iTunes library cannot be saved (50) and then iTunes crashes

    I am running 64 bit windows vista, with itunes 10.7.  I get the error message "Error Message: iTunes library cannot be saved (50)" once or twice and then iTunes crashes entirely.  this occurs after a random amount of time using iTunes, and the library is in fact saving between incidents.

    Resolved by my getting an iMac ...

  • Is there a way to export Itunes library including playlists into folders?

    Hey, i have quite a large library with over 100 playlists some playlists themselves in playlist folders
    Is it possible to export all playlists (Including playlist folders) into folders and for them to keep there structure?
    For example
    Playlist folder
    "Best playlists"
         "Playlist1"
         "Playlist 2"
         "Playlist 3"
    "Other Playlists"
         "Playlist 1"
         "Playlist 2"
         Playlist 3"
    So i would get a folder with "Best playlists" then 3 folders inside with "Playlist 1, 2, 3" etc.
    Of course i want the music inside as well
    Maybe there is a script that will do it?

  • Is there another way into an iTunes account? Besides email verification and security questions? I'm not trying to hack I have rather extrodinary circumstances!

    Alright so I had an iTunes account that as you'd expect was linked to my email. Long story short my email got hacked and hotmail shut it down because my email address which I could no longer get into was sending spam to all my contacts. Anyway I used to keep a lot of the same passwords for different things and I realised that I had the same password for my email as I did for my hotmail so I decided to change both the password and the email of my iTunes account but then I encountered some difficulties. I had to either answer the security questions or verify my email. I'd long since forgotten what I'd put for the answers of the security questions so now I was stuck. So I called apple and the guy helped me 'sort it out'.
    I got my new account with its new email and new password and new email. But here's the thing now I can't get any of my old purchases. I've basically lost everything! So I need to get back into the old account and I've managed to get my broken old email restored so it should work now. But it doesn't the verification email doesn't come through! I need to get back on my old account. Someone please help!

    You can't get any of your purchases because you created a new Apple ID, you didn't change the email on your old one. App and other content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it. There is no way to transfer them and no way to merge Apple IDs.
    You need to call Apple back, explain the situation and tell them you need to change the email on your old Apple ID - NOT create a new one.

  • Is there any way to keep the old mail, phone, calendar format and yet switch to IOS7?

    Is there anyway to keep our old mail, calendar, and phone format and yet use IOS7?  I find the new system so plain that it is difficult to see.  I keep missing new emails because the little numbers are so small they barely show up and the plain white screens are so bright they are hard to look at.  I would just go back but I really like some of the new features.

    Man I am with you!
    The new user interface for iOS7 is just dreadful.  I turned down the brightness but the lack of shading or delineation between UI elements makes it difficult to read. 
    It feels like they're chasing Android.

  • My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

    My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

    If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
    If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    The use family sharing to share apps
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
    Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    You can have two separate libraries, just do not put them into the same location on the computer. You could also create a new user on the laptop, you, and then you would start out with a blank iTunes library, then just add yours to that. It would also prevent you and your girlfriend from mixing content up unless you share an Apple ID.

  • HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

    Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
    Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well.  I also have an iPad and iPhone.  In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc.  I then  just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID.  Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
    Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?
