ITunes freezes while transferring TV season from Apple TV back to computer

I bought a season of a show on the Apple TV and it downloaded the entire season fine. When I open up iTunes and it starts syncing, it indicates that the computer is transferring the shows from the Apple TV back to the computer, but then iTunes freezes in the middle. The Apple TV appears to be fine. I'm currently running Custom Sync as the option.
I'm running 2.4 ATV OS, the latest iTunes (8.2) on a Windows XP. Network is a Linksys 54G wireless router.
I've looked at some things and have tried reauthorizing, rebooting, etc. It's a pain because I have some new content that I want to get on the Apple TV, but it defaults to transferring shows back before adding new content from iTunes onto the AppleTV.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the update, but that doesn't really help me since my computer (desktop) and my computer about about 50 feet from each other and I really have no desire to unplug either to sync. The reality is that this has been a problem with 2.4 since it was released a month and a half ago and there is no reason why Apple hasn't fixed it by now.
What this has led me to do is not download any shows to my AppleTV, I just buy them on my computer now and the downstream sync works fine.

Transferring data from Apple TV back to computer

I had to replace the logic board within my computer and restore all of the data on my hard drive. Before I took it into the shop for repair, I transferred ALL of my music and video from iTunes to my Apple TV. Now that my computer is fixed, I would like to transfer ALL of the back to my computer. I thought it would be simple... just a sync, but I am not sure how to do this action.
PLEASE HELP ME... SOMEONE...

you cant unless you hack it or open it and remove the harddisk and connect it to your computer
next time you set it up to sync with your "new computer" it will delete everything on the atv

While transferring my documents from my Desktop to my new Apple laptop through a memory stick all of my files on my Desktop were lost. What Happened?

While transferring my Documents from my desktop to my new Apple laptop through a memory stick all of my documents were lost. I cannot find them anywhere...What happened?

If I'm reading this right, you copied the Documents folder from your User account to a memory stick? How big was the Documents folder?
How did you carry out the copy?
Drag and drop from user account to stick? - This should copy the data leaving the originals on your desktop Mac.
⌘-drag from user account to stick? - This would move the files - copy them over, then delete the originals.
Entire folder at one go or a few files at a time?
Assuming that you used the memory stick as received (straight out of the pack) it would almost certainly be formatted FAT32 or even FAT16 so it can be used onWindows or Mac. There are file size limits with both those formats, which could cause problems, but I'm not sure complete loss of data would result.

i've got this problem when I change my ipod nano to ipod Generation 5

Computer freezes while transferring information

Hello - if anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it! I bought a new MacBook today and was using a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable to transfer files from my old computer (a Powerbook G4). It all started off fine and then seemed to freeze while transferring documents. The blue status bar was about 40% complete and the note at the bottom of the screen said "about 22 minutes remaining". Nothing was happening after about 45 minutes - so I hit "apple-Q" to see if I could reset it (probably a mistake!!), the rainbow spinning circle appeared for about 15 minutes, then went away, then I saw this: "Mac OS X has finished downloading, continue?" and so I clicked yes. That was about an hour ago and still I have the same frozen screen: Transferring documents, about 22 minutes remaining". HELP!!!
Thanks - Diane

Thanks. After canceling the transfer (by unplugging the firewire cord) there was an error code that showed the names of the files it had trouble with. After deleting them, I was able to star the process over.
It seems to have done the trick. Thanks for your help!

How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone 5 to pc???

1)   How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone, 5c, 7.1.2., to pc?
2)   How to delete photos from iphone (when I pick a pic there's no option to delete from trash icon)?
3)   How do I get the app (VS) VarageSale back on my phone screen? It is only listed in settings > notifications.
4) Or how do I delete the VS from settings, so I can reinstall?
NOTE: I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store. I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

No icon to switch from Apple TV back to iPad ios7

At times, there is no icon available to switch away from Apple TV back to my iPad screen. It is sending a video to my currently turned off Apple TV. How do you switch back in this circiumstance?

Thanks, the help I needed. The irony: I was tying to show my wife the video of the crying 4 year old who didn't like the new changes.
Life is good.

Itunes is asking repetitively to activate the apple id on the computer (2nd id) although computer is already activated for that id (Windows 8)

ITunes freeze while listening radio through Apple TV

Hi there.
I've got problem with iTunes. It's freezes while I listen internet radio through Apple TV. It happens after about 15-20 minutes. Music continue plays but iTunes freezes and do not open. All updates to Mac and Apple TV has been installed.

Hi Dreanmachine1,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you purchase a song on your Apple TV, it is available on all of your devices. There are a few reasons why you may not see the song on your iOS devices or your MacBook Pro. They may not be set up to download purchases automatically, or you may not have been signed into the iTunes Store.
I'd suggest trying to download the purchases on your other devices using the steps in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You may also want to check your automatic download settings, so you can receive future songs automatically. See this article for help:

Itunes freezes when transferring purchases from ipad

Can 't trasfer purchases or syng my ipad with itunes, it just freezes

Hey there wbh1967,
If I understand correctly when you are trying to transfer your apps and content from your iPad to your computer, iTunes quits unexpectedly every single time but your iPhone works without issue. To start troubleshooting the software on the iPad, I would start by quitting all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that reset the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
You can always download your purchased apps from the iTunes store to your computer directly using the "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC" section from this article:
Download past purchases
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

ITunes locks up while transfering purchased apps from iphone 4

I have had various issues with upgrading to itunes 10.5. Now that most problems have been solved I am having trouble transferring purchased apps from iphone to library. The process starts but after a few apps itunes locks up. I have to go to task manager to exit. Task manager confirms itunes is not repsonding. Any help is aprreciated. I am also getting the blank page when opening itunes.

An iPhone backup does not contain any iTunes content. After you restore from backup, you must sync or re-download your iTunes content, to restore it to your device.

Itunes freezes when transfering books in iBook

I've been having a problem with transfering .epub file format books or .pdf file books in to ibooks via itunes. Whenever i drag and drop any .pdf file or any .epub file itunes freezes and doesn't respond. It happens when im deleting a particiluar book from ibooks via itunes as well. Itunes stops responding while its "Updating" files on the ipod touch.
I have an ipod touch 4th generation running the latest os. iO5
I've attached a screenshot so you can see exactly what im seeing, please help.

Browsing these discussions will probably give you some hints.
More Powerbook and iBook users have the same problem.
Many of them could solve it by letting the CD 'spin down' (could take a minute or 2) and then running iTunes.
