My Apple TV memory is getting full.  How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

Apps cannot be removed much less added to the device.
Only content from the iTunes store (movies, tv shows, music) can be added/removed on the 1st Gen ATV.
Again, the 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVS have no onboard storage for content and would generate no such message.
Just curious, has your ATV been jailbroken?  If it has, no support can be provided via these forums.

  • What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do i manage it?

    What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do I manage it?

    The "other" is mainly corrupt files and files that did not get deleted by apps one the app was done with the file. Normally the other s less than 0.25 GB.  To reduce the size of other, usually a restore to factory defaults/new iPodis required.  Sometimes restoring from backup helps a little.

  • HT1386 What is "other" in the storage category and how do you reduce that amount?

    What is "other" in the storage category and how do you reduce that amount?

    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    I want to delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems? 

  • From my PC how can I see what is stored in my cloud?  Reason is I want to move an audio books from my Ipad to Iphone.  I am new to the Apple products.

    I am new to apple products.  Have a Window 7 PC, I phone 4s and Ipad .  I want to move an audio book purcahsed on the Ipad to my I phone so I signed up for the cloud because it said what I described above would be possible.  How do I do it?  Also, how can I see exactly what is in "my Cloud" and selectively downloard the bits and pieces of what is in m cloud to a particular device.    Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone.

    Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
    Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again?  Is there some way around this?  I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
    Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand.  It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
    Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
    Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet?  Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

  • How can I see what's stored in iCloud?

    So I'm new to Apple and I'm a bit confused. I just did a search for something on my new rMBP in Spotlight and a whole load of files that I have on my PC, my work PC and a memory stick I used with my MBP the other day appeared in Spotlight, despite the fact I never copied them onto my MBP or (knowingly) made any choice to add them to iCloud, but that's evidently where they are.
    So how do I manage what gets put on iCloud? I don't want these particular files in iCloud or on my MBP as they are old backups of things I did on my PC that I don't need anymore.
    TBH it's mainly an OCD thing on my part, but any help would be appreciated!

    iCloud only hosts your iCloud email, and syncs contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, safari bookmards and tabs, photo stream photos, and documentes and data from apps that are specifically designed to sync data with iCloud, such as iWork applications and TextEdit and Preview on your Mac.  (You can see which ones are syncing data with iCloud by going to System Preferences>iCloud and clicking "Options" next to Documents & Data.)  It isn't a cloud-based file storage service like DropBox, Skydrive, Box, etc.
    Unless the files from your PC were in one of these categories and your PC was signed into your account and syncing with iCloud, the files didn't get to your Mac using iCloud.

  • How do i see what is stored on my icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see what is in your iCloud storage at settings > iCloud > manage, however this has nothing to do with iTunes or your music.
    To sync music from your computer, make sure the device is connected to iTunes, choose the device from the device list, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want to sync and click the 'Sync' button.

  • How do I see what I plug into the macbook on the desktop?

    When I got my macbook pro 13 I was able to see what was in my diskdrive and also whatever was plugged into it.  How do I turn that back on?  Funny thing is I do not even remember turning it off.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    By default, OS X doesn't show disks in the desktop. To turn this on, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "Hard disks" and "External drives". After doing it, all the drives will appear on Desktop

  • How do i see what is stored on icloud to delete some of it?

    I am struggling to work out how to access icloud and manage what I have stored there - there are images and apps that I want to delete but can't seem to get into it and edit.
    Hellllp!

    You can manage iCloud storage on iCloud-enabled devices.
    On iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.  This shows you the items stored on your iCloud account, the total space and available space (at the bottom). To delete the data stored by any app, tap the app's name, then tap "Edit" in the upper right hand corner.
    On Mac OS X devices, go to System Preferences > iCloud > and click on "Manage..." in the bottom right. The list of apps and how much data they store is the left column, and clicking on an app displays the data it stores, and allows you to delete that data.
    Images and applications you have purchased or synced through iCloud (such as iTunes in the Cloud, purchased items, and Photo Stream) do not count against your iCloud storage.

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

  • My older iPhone which is the 3G or 3S and it's showing an Itune Icon, and doesn't Work. What's wrong with the iPhone 3GS and how to fix it? It was working fine a few days ago

    Starting to wonder if the iPhone's been hacked into. The Iphone was working perfectly fine just a short time ago...only 48 hours ago. I never saw a screen on the front of the front of the phone which showed an iTunes Icon at the top of the screen and a cord going down to the bottom of the screen before. I cannot use the phone, get online to get to the internet, take photos of anything.
      The phone was working perfectly the day it started working very very strangely and I was able to use the phone, see the time of day, take photos, get online, etc.
      How do you fix the phone? I am not going to "restore" the phone & get ALL my info, photos & everything deleted!
      Think we need to change the phone number because we also got a strange phone call from a phone number we never saw before!
       Need some help. as I'm sure people CAN hack into smartphones.

    It's in recovery mode. It's tryijng to tell you to plug it into iTunes and restore it.

    I hate to tell you this, but ALL your "info, photos & everything" are already gone.
    You don't have a choice.

  • So, when will the networks allow 99 cent tv rentals?  I think the first Apple TV has so much more to chose from.  What will happen with the Apple TV 2?

    Anyone know what will be the outcome of Apple TV 2 as far as being able to rent shows from all networks?  You can get just about anything on the first apple tv.

    TV rentals were not and are unlikely to ever be available on AppleTV 1 (although I think in some ways it is still better than AppleTV2).
    Other than for direct purchasing as opposed to renting I've not noticed that much difference in content availability but our content is relatively poor anyway in UK compared to US, especially in terms of pricing.

  • How do I see what "Other" is in the capacity bar?

    Under music in my device, the capacity bar shows that Other has 4GB of space used. What does Other encompass and why is it taking up so much space. This is a 8GB Ipod Nano. Thanks!

    Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. or files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
