My Apple TV has stopped syncing TV shows in my iTunes Library

For some time I have been successfully using my Apple TV, to watch TV shows purchased from iTunes on my computer and synched to my Apple TV. Recently my Apple TV lost all of the TV shows which had previously been synched to it. When I now select "My TV Shows", I get the message "There are no TV shows on your Apple TV", and no shows are listed for my Apple TV in iTunes. And although I have many TV shows in my iTunes Library (for example the entire Season 1 of Heroes, with 11 unwatched episodes, and the entire season 1 of "30 Rock" all unwatched) when I try to sync my Apple TV, no TV shows are copied over.
In iTunes, I have tried many times to sync using both the "Automatic Sync" and the "Custom Sync" settings, and various settings listed under "TV Shows" tab, e.g. Sync "all", "all unwatched", etc. for "all TV shows", and "Selected TV shows". In every case when I sync, the status bar says: Syncing "Apple TV", for about 15 seconds, then the synch ends with no episodes are copied.
My version of iTunes is 8.0, Apple TV software version is 2.2.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

* As far as I know I've never changed this field. How was this working before?
Yes this is how it worked before, you may have inadvertently changed this setting (see below-checking/unchecking all) or it might have just happened due to an update or some other glitch for some unknown reason.
* Do I have to check every file manually after downloading?
* Can I automatically check them all?
If you hold down the CMD key while you check/uncheck a single item the instruction will apply to all content in that window. So to check all music for example, make sure all your music is in the window when you CMD-click the check box, not just a playlist or album for example.

  • HT1495 If I have an IPHONE with my own Apple ID and my husband has his IPHONE with his Apple ID, can we sync them to the same ITUNES Library on the same PC??

    Confused....

    As long as you have iTunes logged in with your Apple ID, you can just plug your phone in and sync it, and all your music will appear as your Library (e.g. "Nolan's Music"). When your husband plugs his phone in, he'll probably have to log you out and login with his Apple ID, before he syncs his phone.
    The problem is that Apple IDs are accounts. Your phone is linked to your account, and his phone is linked to his account. I don't think you can sync them both while logged in to one of those accounts. Have you sync'd your phones before? What happens when you plug them in?

  • Just downloaded itunes version 10 .2.2 and my iphone has stopped working. now showing fault on itunes asked to reinstall. Why has this happened?

    just downloaded itunes version 10.2.2 + Qucktime and my ipohone has stopped working!
    I am told there is a fault in my itunes software and I must reinstall.
    Why has this happened, is there a fault with this new version?

    Whilst I don't have an answer, I hope a knowledge specialist does.I've seen numerous posts like this.After 10.2 update I lost library and haven't been able to actually connect my iphone to itunes for the upgrade. Each time I connect the iphone my system crashes. There was NOTHING wrong with my itunes or system until the point of update. There doesn't seem to be support, despite the extent of this problem. My iphone seems to need an update as its overheating and battery life is a nanosecond. BEYOND FRUSTRATED! All input welcome.

  • ITunes bought on iPhone won't show up in iTunes Library on laptop

    if I buy a song from iTunes while on my phone, shouldn't it be in my iTunes library after I sync?
    I have a total of 53 songs on my phone, but only want 41 of them, but iTunes on my laptop is showing that I have only purchased 23 songs.
    none of the music that I bought from my phone since the last sync is showing up on iTunes library on my laptop.
    Essentially, there are songs on my phone that I don't want anymore, so I want to get everything off my phone and into iTunes, so I can manually drag the songs I still want back to my phone. I thought when I synced it, my entire iPhone/Ipod music library would go to iTunes on my laptop, and I could pick and choose what I wanted to drag back to my phone manually, but it's not working out that way. iTunes is almost empty, and only has the 23 songs I had when I first synced it forever ago, not the 53 songs I have currently. I have always only purchased songs while on my phone, so why are some of them on my iTunes Library, but not the most recent ones?

    Don't know (though it would be 30 songs, not 20). A third-party utility, of which there are many, for transferring content from an iPhone back to iTunes might do the job. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some suggestions:

  • My lightroom mobile has stopped syncing

    for some reason my lightroom mobile has stopped syncing. It just stops and shows that little symbol..see attached photo. Anyone any ideas.

    Could you try to swipe to the next photo and back to the previous. I'm assuming that you are in edit view, right?

  • The calendar on my Tungsten E2 has stopped syncing with my windows 7 PC.

    The calendar on my Tungsten E2 has stopped syncing with my windows 7 PC.  All other conduits sync perfectly but only if I first change the conduit setup to not include the calendar as part of the syncing process.  I have already tried reinstalling the Palm Desktop, but this did not help.  If I try syncing with the calendar included in the syncing process, the entire syncing process freezes up when it comes to the calendar.  Thanks for any ideas.

  • Calendar has stopped syncing to my iPhone

    Hi all,
    My contacts are syncing fine, but my iPhone calendar has stopped syncing with my Mac. My MobileMe online calendar is up to date, so the Mac and MobileMe are talking fine. I've tried switching off the phone and on again. It's still out of date. It's not synced for nearly a week judging by how out of date the calendar is on my phone.
    Can someone please advise on what I can try?
    Thanks,

    I have had the same problem. Also seems to have started a few days ago. Mobile Me is working fine for notebooks, and desktop, but can only sync iCal information with hardwired sync at desktop. Any official word from Apple? This problem does not seem to be related to any action by users. Something has changed. I will continue to follow forum for plausible explanations.

  • My Mac's iCal has stopped syncing with my iPhone, Macbook and iPad?

    My Mac has stopped syncing with my iPhone and MacBook Pro.  System preferences setting for iCloud has iCal selected in all devices.  Interestingly, my iPad is showing all chat messages between me and other people when I am using my iPhone.  This started about the time that iCal started misbehaving.  May or may not be related.

    i should've also mentioned that none of these problems occurred until after in tried syncing up to itunes on my pc. I've tried normal stuff like turning off/on, etc. have not done a hard reset for fear of losing everything on my phone. Don't really know what to do.

  • TS3623 purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working.  I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available.  I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!

    purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working.  I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available.  I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • My apple TV has stopped working completely.  Just a flashing Amber light

    My Apple TV has stopped working.  When it is turned on I just get a flashing amber light and it does not turn blue as normal.  It doesn't connect wirelessly to my Mac and it doesn't connect to the TV.  I do not get the setup menu and it is totally unresponsive to the remote control.  I have tried connecting it directly to my Mac but this also does nothing.  I am at a loss as to what to do next.  I have a lot of films and music stored on it and I am worried that I have lost it all.  I am not sure which generation it is, but it is the silver one, model number A1218.  Can anyone help?

    Unfortunately, it sounds as though your Apple TV 1 has failed. Unlike the later Apple TVs, you cannot connect it to iTunes to restore it.
