Old Apple TVs and new Macbook

I have 3 gen 1 apple TVs and a new MacAir. It works fine for sharing movies, but I can no longer access the disk space on my apple TVs to erase movies or add movies. I take my laptop to work everyday, so my kids cannot watch new content when I am gone. How do I regain access to the hard disk space on these apple tv models and erase old movies and put the new ones on so they can be watched when my computer is at work.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library may have been changed from a (primary) custom syncing library to an automatic syncing library or to a (secondary) streaming library. See this.
To revert to a custom syncing library from an automatic syncing library, simply check the 'Custom Sync' radio button under the summary tab in iTunes.
To revert to a primary library from a secondary library, disconnect from the Apple TV (Settings/Computers/Your_Library) and reconnect again (Settings/Computers/Connect_to_iTunes) - You will need to re-sync previously synced content.

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID email and its all verified ok but on my iPhone 5 every time I go to update an App or buy an App it comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for a password. Why doesn't it have my new ID because on Apple ID link it does?

I've changed my Apple ID password and when I go to the Apple ID link the changes have been emailed and are all verified. However, when I try to do something with an App or iTunes etc on my iPhone 5 it still comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for the password and I don't have the option to overtyped the Sppld ID section with the new email I've set. I can't update Apps or buy Apps because of this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option. I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist. Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.? I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one. However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

My iPhone is still displaying my old Apple ID and I can't figure out how to change it to my new one?

I have an iPhone 4s and it keeps asking me to sign in using my old Apple ID and I have a new(ish) Apple ID that I've been using for several months, since before I even got the iPhone, but it's still not using my new ID. The new ID is on my iTunes and iPod, but isn't on the iPhone. I can't figure out how to edit or change my Apple ID in the settings. Help me?

Hi,
I have the same exact problem, and I see no one has posted a correct answer for you. Alexbird's reply didn't help. Can someone give us the correct answer?
My old email address is on my new iPhone 4s, and I can't change it. In the store on the iPhone 4s it correctly has my new email address. iTunes also correctly has the new email address.
I can't update my apps because the old email address is stuck in there, and no password is being accepted.
(By the way, as much as I attempted to read all of the warnings online about how to back-up and transfer data from my iPhone 3gs to my iPhone 4s, sure enough apps were lost. I wish instructions on 'Fingertips' had been clearer)
Thanks!

My phone is logged in as my old apple id and it is telling me that the password is wrong, but i am typing the correct password for the new apple id... how do i change it!

My phone is logged into my old apple ID and is telling me my icloud can not sign in. I am synced into the new apple id on my mac and there is no problems. I have reset the password about 4 times. I need help

Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

You can use a wireless flash drive.
Copy from old iPad > wireless flash drive > copy to new iPad

It is not possible to do that.

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
