New v's 1st gen photo's

I just bought a brand new 3rd gen ATV yesterday after owning a 1st gen since they came out. I love my first gen and was surprised to learn the hard drive was no longer there but hey ho... needed a second one in the house.
It all works brilliantly, as I would expect from apple, except I cannot understand photo's and itunes. I can turn on photo stream, which I don't want. What I would like as my screen saver are pics from iphotos that I have in albums. I sync these to1st gen via itunes, but cannot even see my 3rd gen on itunes on my iMAC. I can of course still see my 1st Gen.
So 2 questions.... should I see my 3rd gen on itunes? And how do I choose what pics to use as a screensaver?
Many thanks folks!

Hello ljferrara,
You select where to get your photos from in the Settings of the Apple TV.
Check out this article named Apple TV (2nd generation): How to use your photos with your Apple TV screensaver found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4362
To use your photos with Apple TV (2nd generation) Screen Saver, first make sure your Home Sharing account is enabled with the same Apple ID on both your Apple TV and your computer (see this article for additional information). Then follow these steps:
Open iTunes 10.0.1 or later.
In iTunes, from the Advanced menu choose Choose Photos to Share....
Enable the option to Share Photos, and then select the iPhoto, Aperture, or a folder you would like the Apple TV (2nd generation) screensaver to use images from.
On your Apple TV (2nd generation) , go to Settings > Screen Saver > Photos.
Select your computer.
Select the folder or Event that you want the Apple TV Screen Saver to use photos from.
To confirm: On your Apple TV, go back to the previous screen by pressing the menu button on your Apple remote, then select the Preview option to see which photos are being used.
Additional Information
If you are sharing your personal photos from iPhoto, Apple TV (2nd generation) may take some time before recognizing any changes made to your photos within iPhoto. To accelerate getting modified photos or Events to your Apple TV, quit iPhoto after completing your changes and then open it again. If you've created new Events in iPhoto, make sure that they are selected in iTunes in the "Photo Sharing Preference" window.
Regards,
Sterling

Apple TV (1st gen) photos in an Event not in date order

I have synced selected Events from iPhoto to my Apple TV 1st gen with iTunes 11.0.1
The events synced are "merged" events from 2 cameras on a month-by-month basis.
In iPhoto, I have the event sorted by date, but on the Apple TV, the photos are NOT in date order.
How can I get the Apple TV to reflect the choice I make in iPhoto ??

Thanks Winston

New aluminum keyboard, 1st Gen MacPro

Curious about this.. I applied some kind of update after getting this keyboard for Christmas, firmware I guess. It works fine, but I am curious about the F17,18,19 keys. WOW doesn't seem to recognize them. Could be WOW but when I go into System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse>Keyboard tab>Change Keyboard Type...
The first message is that "keyboard can not be identified" etc. "Continue" yields "press the key to the right of the shift key" and that yields "You have pressed a key on your build-in keyboard. Please press the keys on your external keyboard."
This seems incorrect to me and maybe has bearing on the F17-19 issue...
Any ideas or similar experiences?

I have the same keyboard and Mac Pro and the only difference in the profiler readout is that mine says
Version: 0.69
Did you download and install the Apple Keyboard Updater? Not sure what the latest version is now, but it was a mandatory update. It should be available on the Downloads page on this site.

Is the replacement iPod 1st Gen brand new or a refurbished model?

Today I recieved the packet to send my iPod nano back to Apple, but before I do, I'd like to know whether I'll recieve a brand new iPod nano 1st Gen or a refurbished model. My unit is in virtually mint condition due to me keeping it in a case since purchase, and the battery still lasts several hours anyway (I'd be happy with a brand new unit, but I don't want to return it just to get a scratched model with a new battery).
Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You will not receive a 1G nano at all. You will receive a refurbished 6G model (in whatever color they happen to pull out of the bin).
I was on the phone with Customer Service for almost a half hour today. The limited supply of already refurbished 1G nanos has already been exhausted, and they are not even refurbishing the ones they are getting back... they are using them for parts for later generation nanos.
I am NOT a happy camper right now. If Apple had truly done the ritth thing and told people what they would be receiving in return, I would have kept my nearly pristine, shiny black 1G.

HT3199 connect iTunes on new macbook to apple tv 1st gen. library

On my formar macbook I had iTunes to synch with Apple TV 1st generation.
After upgrading to a new macbook pro with iTunes 11.0.3 I observe following problem:
1. on apple tv 1st gen. the library from my old macbook is there but in light gray, i.e. not connected to new macbook
2. when connecting new computer to apple tv 1st gen. it will create a new library (instead of connecting with existing library).
3. in iTunes, Devices Apple TV, only buttons "Settings" and "Photos" appear on top of window. "Music", "TV-shows" are missing.
How do I connect the two libraries, i.e. iTunes library on my new macbook with library on my apple tv 1st gen (last synched with my old macbook)?

AppleTV 1 was designed to sync with a single computer, but apart from untransferred purchases made on AppleTV, the sync was to AppleTv only.
You cannot make the new computer sync with AppleTV without removing the old sync connection on AppleTV under Settings>Computers. Doing this wipes the AppleTV of content tomprepare tobsync with a new iTunes library.
AppleTV1 also allowed streaming only from several computers other than the synced one - content will appear under My Shared Movies and so forth when the computer is on.
you really need to remove both computer entries from the Computers settings screen then re-add the new iTunes as a sync library.
Hopefully you have still got the old computer to allow you to copy media to the new one, or have copies of he media somewhere.
If most of your stuff was from iTunes Store then you should be able to redownload in iTunes.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

Back up Iphone 1st Gen to a new Imac

Could someone tell me, how can I backup my Iphone 8GB (1st Gen) to my new IMAC? I would like to the have the current contents of my Iphone back up in new IMAC.
Thanks.
ike1906

Not sure what you mean by back up.
When you sync a back up is done. It does not include music and photo library photos.
Why would you not move your info/music/pics/etc from your old computer to your new one?
Iphone will sync music and photos from ONE computer at a time. When you sync to a different computer, the current pics and music will be erased.
If you have at least one unique contact and calendar entry in your new computer, then you will get the option to merge the data. If you don;t, then that will be erased as well.
It is much simpler to move the data from the old computer to the new one, then sync.

I cannot back up my iPad 1st Gen on the new version of iTunes, I get an error saying it is incompatible. I need to back it up so I can then restore into my new iPad Air.

How do I get around this? The iPad one has the most current iOS allowed for the 1st gen per settings.
Help!

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

Cannot download photos from original 1st gen iphone

An aunt passed on her old 1st gen iphone (16GB) to my son for Christmas as a starter phone. We cannot get the photos he shot Christmas to download to our Windows vista computer. The only way we can get a photo off this phone seems to be by email - one at a time -Surely there is some better way!
I've downloaded iTunes and it will back-up the phone, but I can't find any way to see the photos. Following an old discussion we tried to look at the phone files without iTunes (clicking on it in My computer ) and it wants to format the disk.
The phone wants us to connect to MobileMe, but we don't have an account and it is closed to new registrations, and you need a higher iOS to connect to iCloud. We have downloaded and tried Diskaid based on another discussion and it can't seem to see the phone either, but iTunes can. I cannot find a way to seach the app store and filter by iOS version, in order to find a some other file transfer program that works with 3.1.3 - they all seem to require 4.0 or higher.
I thought Apple was supposed to be user-friendly...but it certainly doesn't seem to support older equipment users very well.

When there are photos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to a compatible computer. Photos in the Camera Roll can be imported by the computer as with any other digital camera, which is not handled by iTunes.
Try the Windoze scanner and camera wizard, which works with every iPhone and iOS version beginning with the first - 1.0.

Photos not syncing to stream from 4s to iPad 1st gen

Hi
I have an iPhone 4s 16gb and an iPad 1st gen 64gb. I'm currently travelling (so no access to my laptop) and trying to sync all photos from my phone to my iPad so I don't lose them when I get a new phone. Most have synced successfully but some older photos don't appear on my iPad at all? I don't want to lose these photos and can't think of a way to get them from my phone to my iPad!
Also, any suggestions how to store the videos from my iPhone as I read somewhere that iPad 1st gen isn't compatible with videos from a 4s?
Lots of travelling memories I don't want to lose!
Thanks in advance!

TS3694 Just took my 1st gen iPod out of it's original box, never used before. Plugged it into my new Mac book Pro and it recognizes that the iPod is in recovery mode but when I click to restore, error 1611 comes up - but that error code doesn't say what

I had an 8GB 1st gen iPod in it's original box in storage and just took it out to hook it up. Charged it overnight, plugged it into new Mac Book Pro and it was recognized as being an iPod in recovery but other identifying information was all indicated as "n/a" (so, unknown OS, etc). Error code 1604 came up so I downloaded iTunes on the Mac Book and it is currently showing version 10. But now when I try to restore the iPod, error code 1611 comes up and the troubleshooting doesn't tell me what else to try. The USB connector that came with the iPod was also never used before - brand new also from the box so that should be fine. I also tried a different USB port on the Mac Book. Any ideas?

Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

How do I get Faces in iPhoto to appear on my 2ed gen Apple TV. The appear on my 1st gen Apple TV with Photos and Events.

How do I sync Faces in iphoto to iTunes and then to my 2ed gen Apple TV so I can show Events,Photos or Faces on my TV? On another TV which I have connected a 1st gen Apple TV all three appear, so some how the 1st gen is sync'ing with itunes but not so with the 2ed gen Apple TV as I ony get Events and Photos on the TV screen.

To choose which photos to show on your Apple TV
File > HomeSharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV
The dialogue box that opens lets you select what photos to send over

How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
Thanks for the help!!

You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
To avoid that see:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
