Move content to apple tv

I have just put my apple tv back to my TV after a long time absence and I am unable to trasfer itunes content like music to my apple tv. I see that my computer is sync as I have the chain icon in the settings menu but cant figure out what to do next.

One I reconnected the internet connection everything was fine and I was able to sync with no problem.
Thank you

  • How can i watch a rented movie in my apple tv?

    I rented a movie in iTunes and want to watch it in my apple TV.  I try to "drag" the movie to the apple TV under Devices, and can't seem to do it.  When I go to my shared movies in apple TV the rental is not there.  Does anyone know what I need to do?

    I assume you are using the Apple TV 1 (silver/grey).
    The rental needs to be transferred to the Apple TV. It sounds as though you have paired a secondary (streaming only) library only and you need a primary library to transfer content.

    You can't, unless you bought them from the iTunes Store on the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV can receive content only, it does not sync content back, except items that you have purchased on the Apple TV.

    Why does my Apple TV keep giving me the message "Apple TV cannot connect to the server" when I try and rent a movie to watch?

    Hello dprice3885,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the Wi-Fi troubleshooting since you can access the network but not the content.

  • TS3789 When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects - but zero dialog or voice overs?  What gives?

    When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects but no dialog from characters - no voices

    Push and hold the select button on the remote while the content is playing.  You should get an audio options menu.  Guessing you selected one of the the secondary audio track options by mistake somewhere.

  • HT1589 what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

    what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

    Sophie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're only hope to recover the library as it once was is to: 1 - if you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library or 2 - you can put everything back exactly the way it was in the Finder.
    Otherwise you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your current library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I cannot purchess movies on my apple tv. i keep getting a message that says i need to update my billing info. i have done this and i still get the message. help help help

    i cannot purchusse movies on my apple tv. it keeps telling me that i need to update my billing info. i have done this and i keep recivimg the same message!!! help!!!

    You don't.  the ipad is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    If so, not good.
    You may be able to purchase  a third party program, not supported by Apple, to get the other music.

  • HT1860 I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?

    I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?  I have home sharing set up and can see my computer iTunes on my apple TV.  I just can't see my apple TV movie on my computer.

    Hello theycallmeboz,
    If the movie was purchased on the AppleTV it wont show up in home sharing until that movie has been downloaded to an iTunes library. You can download previous purchases from the iTunse Store at any time. The article below goes over that process.

    I was watching a movie on my Apple TV and suddenly it stopped. I noticed I was logged out. Then I tried logging in again and I keep getting a message "cannot connect to iTunes". I restarted the Apple TV three times and tried again each time. I am stuck  Help please

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • Movie Content Not Available ???

    Hi all,
    Just purchased the Apple TV a couple of days ago. I have not been able to download any movies so far. The only options to choose from are Trailers and My Movies. It seems like the content is unavailable from apple/iTunes. Is anyone else having difficulties accessing movie content? This really blows, cause the movie downloading was 99% of the reason for purchasing apple tv, all the other features are a bonus for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer. Yes, I believe I was misled. Again, the reason for purchase was to have access to movies. I even called the support line to ensure i had everything set up properly... the guy said the network was down and should be up in a matter of hours or next day. *** is that all about? Good thing I saved all the packaging.

  • Can't watch purchased content on Apple TV-?

    Hi there,
    I am an American living in Saudi Arabia. I have purchased my Apple TV from the United States when I was there last and it is the 2nd generation. I have updated the software to 5.1.1. I have a few accounts on my Apple TV, but I am unable to play any purchased content on it. Everytime I try to play a Movie or TV Show from one of the accounts in my family, it says "An error occured loading this content. Try again later". How can I fix this?
    Streaming through Airplay from any device (iTouch, iPhone, or Macbook Pro) works just fine, but playing purchased content through Apple TV directly does not work. It shows all my purchased content, but it will not play any of it. My iTunes store location is set to United States, as all of our accounts in the family are US accounts.
    Also, previewing Movies and TV Shows in the iTunes store works fine as well. Its only watching purchased content.
    Thank you!

    Hi
    I doubt it's the new update, I don't know if this is an issue specific to AppleTV but if you can play on the laptop it would seem unlikely it's because the content is blocked due to your location.
    Have you unplugged AppleTV and restarted since changing the settings?  This can sometimes help fix odd behaviour and quick to do.
    Hopefully somone doing teh same thing will chime in to confirm it works in Saudi Arabia with US content.
