Not Sharing Everything with Apple TV

Here is the deal... I have the iPhone and Apple TV. I used Handbrake to rip some DVD's (That I already Own) onto iTunes to play on my iPhone.
So, iPhone movies are not the best quality so someone told me to rip to Apple TV quality (Yes, it's twice as good), but those can't go on my iPhone. So the story is I have two copies of most of my movies and I don't want to share all of them, just the better quality Apple TV movies.
Is there anyway to say "Don't share this content in iTunes, but do share this content" in a way that would solve my problem? Thanks.

Interesting finding...you may recall that I said it didn't work for me.
It does work, but not for software 1.1 which still displays a list of everything.
You have to resync or shut/restart iTunes for the changes to show on 2.02 software.
This actually suggests that AppleTv gets a list of everything then in 2.02 discards the entries that aren't checked in the main library, rather than itunes sending a list of only checked items.

Just to clarify, iOS is the operating system for iOS based devices such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.
Your Mac runs on OS X.
As for your Apple ID, help here > Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store

New MBP will not log on with Apple ID

Trying to set up my new MBP Retina for the first time (using WiFi), but it will not log on with my Apple ID due to some server error.
This is certainly not the first time I've set up a new Mac, but it's certainly the very first time I have encountered a problem while doing so.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Just skip this step. It is most likely due to an issue on Apple's end, not yours. You can set up iCloud and iTunes later by following these steps:

I hope I helped.

Resolution of Home Sharing photos with Apple TV 3?

Let's say you have an Apple TV 3 and you have configured Home Sharing so the Apple TV 3 can view the photos in iPhoto on a Mac in your network. Using the Apple TV 3, are the photos displayed on your TV from iPhoto on the Mac in 1080p? I have an Apple TV 2 and the photo resolution does not seem super great compared to directly connecting the Mac to my TV. I asked at my local Apple Store and they didn't really know.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Obviously not, the Apple TV 2 can only output 720p.

Airplay does not always work with Apple TV (no airplay symbol)

We have two iPhones and one iPad (all using iOS6). Sometimes we can connect any device without problems, sometimes the Airplay symbol does not appear on the iPhone or iPad at all. Rebooting (unplugging and plugging again power cord) the Apple TV sometimes helps. Anyhow, I checked all hints from the Apple FAQ and the only thing I don't use is iOS 7 (but currently iOS 6 should still be ok).
Does anybody made the same experience?

This morning I downgraded the firmware of my Apple TV to 5.3 (I was on 6.0.2). This solved my problem! :)
I too had lagging playback, both from iTunes as well as for Airplaying a video from my iPad. Often the video or airplay just would not start.
With firmware 5.3 my ATV is again as fast as it used to be: videos start promptly, no waiting for the spinning disc and hoping the thing will start. It just works now :)

Remote not working properly with Apple TV...sporadic fuctioning

Hello,
I have no idea what caused this to happen, but both my remotes (I have one from my MacBook Pro and one from my AppleTV) seem to not work properly with AppleTV. It sometimes works but it is extremely frustrating as it only registers about 1 out of every 10-20 clicks then continues to remember the previous clicks therefore making it essentially impossible to select the desired menu/item. Basically it just seems like it's out of control!
I tested whether it was the remote or AppleTV that was causing the problem by running Front Row on my MacBook Pro and both remotes seem to navigate Front Row perfectly fine. They both act the same way with AppleTV, whether they are paired or not. It seems as though something happened with my AppleTV. This problem occurred randomly, with no specific cause I can think of.
Please let me know if any of you have ever experienced this problem and what your solution was, if any!
I have tried restoring to factory conditions, resetting settings, ran diagnostics, unplugged and replugged it, and nothing seems to be working!
Oh, and I just replaced the battery on one and have tried swapping batteries, etc.
HELP PLEASE!
Thank you,
Travis

The menus have never been as responsive as they used to since the 2.0 update in my opinion - basically AppleTV seems to cache/buffer remote click if it is busy or perhaps waiting for something to stream from itunes, and when resources become available it suddenly executes all command rapidly which makes it behave wildly in menus.
Usually happens I find after restarting the unit or if streaming drives have gone in to power saving modes and there's a delay while they wake up to feed the AppleTV.

TS1702 Not sharing documents with photos in by email e.g. from pages or explain everything.....apple id issue?

I've got a work ipad. I have 3 or 4 different email accounts on my ipad.
I have several documents in pages which email in to work easily.
If I add any pictures into the document in pages ir refuses point blank to email them in to myself via any email adress on my ipad. they sit in the outbox. The documents are def not too large to send as i've checked the mailbox size limits etc.
Interestingly if I use a colleagues ipad and put my email accounts into their ipad I can share documents from their ipad. This issue also occured with my old ipad (updated about 8 weeks ago).
The only common factor linking the 2 ipads and the diff email accounts appears to be apple id which was used to set up both my old and current ipad.
I have tried a complete restore....no luck
HELP!
Driving me demented as I need the function for work.....
I thought the issue might be email related........but as it works if my email is set up on someone elses ipad it seems not......

Re: Cant verify Apple ID
created by kelly218 in iTunes Store - View the full discussion
I just spoke with a technician at Apple. I hsven't been able to verify because the wife has the phone. but he said all that you need to do is:
1) Go to Settings --> iTunes Store and login with your Apple ID and pwd
2) Go to Settings --> iCloud and login with your Apple ID and pwd
seems that the phone requires you to login to the store first...

Apple tv 1 will not sync everything with itunes 10

I recently purchased a new Macbook computer and am trying to sync with my Generation 1 Apple TV.
Two options show up, "settings" with actually has nothing as far as settings go, only the name of the Apple TV, capacity, serial number etc and the other options is to sync photos.
I tried downloading an older version of iTunes but the library has been updated to Version 10 so I'm out of luck there.
There used to be an Apple TV tab in the preferences window as well and that's gone too.
It would be nice to sync movies, music and all the other things that make owning an Apple TV fun and useful. Right now it's a small box collecting dust.
Can someone help?

You've paired your library as a secondary library (streaming only).
Go to settings > computers > connect to iTunes, which is the top option. If you've already got a library listed at the top, select it and unpaid it before pairing your new library as a primary library.

Home sharing problem with Apple TV3

I have an Apple TV3 in my bedroom and an Apple TV2 in my living room. Both are presently connected to my wireless network. I cannot get home sharing to work with the Apple TV2, but it works fine with the Apple TV2.
I have tried everything I could think of. I exchanged the location of the 2 with the 3. Home sharing still works with the 2 but not with the 3. I have restarted many times and reset the 3. I have turned off and on home sharing both on my IMac and on the 3 and rebooted both several times. Nothing seems to work. Does anybody have suggestions?
Many thanks.

Sorry there was a typo in the last sentence of my first paragraph. It sould have read " I cannot get home sharing to work with the Apple TV3, but it works fine with the Apple TV2."
They are both using the same Apple ID for homesharing.
The TV2 has the name "Apple TV2" The TV3 has the name "Apple TV3".
I have tried restarting the router. I have just done this again and restarted the TV3, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.

Home Sharing Streaming with Apple TV Network problem - Solution

What is Wi-Fi Multimedia?
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), previously known as Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), is a subset of the 802.11e wireless LAN (WLAN) specification that enhances quality of service (QoS) on a network by prioritizing data packets according to four categories. Network administrators can change priority levels as they see fit. Ranging from highest priority to lowest, these categories are:
Voice: Giving voice packets the highest priority enables concurrent Voice over IP (VoIP) calls with minimal latency and the highest quality possible.
Video: By placing video packets in the second tier, WMM prioritizes it over all other data traffic and enables support for three to four standard definition TV (SDTV) streams or one high definition TV (HDTV) stream on a WLAN.
Best effort: Best effort data packets consist of those originating from legacy devices or from applications or devices that lack QoS standards.
Background: Background priority encompasses file downloads, print jobs and other traffic that does not suffer from increased latency.

Hope this helps someone, please let me know

Update
Also disable this feature on your router, the data packets are not being read correctly. Temporally while Apple figures this out.
Disabling WMM will just tell your router to stop regulating it, giving every bit of data transfer the same priority. Most routers come with it disabled by default, but some have it enabled by default as well.

Remote not working properly with Apple's iPod to TV dock/system

Everything appears to be set up right and the remote is communicating with the ipod base, which in turn is connected to the TV... But the Menu feature doesn't seem to work at all or defaults to the music library (no menu, just starts playing)... All the settings appear correct and if I manually select a TV show on the iPOD and can control the position and volume with the remote, but hitting the menu button as one would on the ipod to get the full list of shows either does notthing or starts the music... UG!!! Just bought this today and very diappointed that it seems buggy, not working...
I know this is probably not a high volume issue, but can someone please help???
Thanks!

Don't feel alone. I have the 80GB and my AV kit remote is doing the same thing. Start playing the video, pressing menu doesn't cause a response at all. However, if you hit the "go back" you end up back at the video menu. When you hit play it starts playing 1 of how many songs you have loaded in your ipod.
This has had to be known as an issue by now.
Cheers!

Automatic app updates in iOS 8, only when not signed in with Apple ID?

Just updated to iOS 8, and discovered an odd issue, as follows:
One of my favorite additions of iOS 7 was the automatic app updates, because I do not have access to the app store. My app store is locked under restrictions, but with automatic updates I had no need for the app store in order to update my existing apps.
Well, I just updated to iOS 8, and I find that there is only an option for automatic app updates when the app store is open, but as soon as the app store is locked through restrictions, the automatic updates option disappears. And to add to the mystery, the only way to get it back is by SIGNING OUT of my Apple ID. When I do that, the automatic music downloads option disappears, and it is replaced by an option for automatic app updates.
Is this intentional? Why on Earth is there no option for auto updates when signed in, only when signed out? I can't make any sense of it. Any help would be appreciated.
Other than that, iOS 8 is awesome so far.

Shared Libraries with Apple OS & PCs in the same network...

We are currently in the process of updating InDesign files. Some of the InDesign users on the network are using InDesign from PC-based laptops. Others are using InDesign from Apple OS laptops. All are on Adobe CS5. One of the tasks of the rebrand is replacing a branded banner image at the top of the the layouts. We set up banner libraries with a limited number of images available which, when tested, could be shared between users. Previously all of the users were on the Apple OS platform. Some of the new users are on the PC platform. They are able to see the items when they open the library, but when they attempt to place the image on a photo layer from a PC, they have to follow a path to the location on the network and relink the image.
We're guessing its an Apple to PC problem similar to the issue of when you set up an alias in Apple OS, PCs sometimes don't recognize it.
Has anyone else had this problem? ...and come up with a solution?
Please help.
Thanks.

Stop using libraries and start using folders of snippets. Combine that with minibridge and you should be good to go.

1st generation MacBook not pairing/connecting with Apple Wireless Keyboard

I just purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPhone and my 1st generation MacBook.
I managed to pair/connect my keyboard with iPhone on my first try.
So far, however, I have not been able to pair or connect my keyboard with my MacBook.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your help. Indeed, I followed the instructions for pairing and connecting the keyboard last night. I shut down my computer last night with the idea that a restart this morning might be helpful. Per your message, I attempted to follow the instructions again a moment ago, with no success.
Bluetooth on my MacBook and on my keyboard are both on. My MacBook is discoverable. Any thoughts about what the glitch might be?
Thanks again!
Scott

Can not sign in with Apple ID

I have just bought an Air. While trying to setup it will not let me sign in with my Apple ID. The message displayed is: "Couldn't sign in because of server error. Try signing in again" I registered my air online using my iPhone hoping that this would help but it still will not sign in.

Did you already activate iCloud on your IOS device using that same apple ID?
