Photos and Podcasts won't sync to Apple TV after upgrade

I recently switched from one MacBook (10.5) to a newer one (10.6) running iTunes 9.0.2 (25) and have upgraded my Apple TV software to 3.0.1. I was able to sync the Apple TV to the iTunes library on my new MacBook, but it will only sync music and movies. I get an error message saying "iTunes cannot sync photos because of a problem on your computer. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I have already tried deleting and re-creating the iLife preferences file and the xml file for iPhoto. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I had a similar problem with my cousin's Apple TV and new 27" iMac. After finding a warm body to speak with at Apple, they asked if there were any slide shows in iPhoto. When I said, yes, they suggested deleting them. Since the photos were already in albums, that was not a problem. After deleting the slide shows from iPhoto, the photos sync'd to the Apple TV just fine.
They did have a follow on suggestion that I did not need to try and that was to restore the Apple TV to the factory settings, downloading the software updates and trying to sync. Please note that this was not necessary and so I do not know if this is an alternative "fix".
Deleting the slide shows from iPhoto did the job.

  • Purchased, mp3 and Podcasts won't sync to 160 gig classic

    I have a six-month-old iPod Classic 160 gig, with about 90 gig of music and 10 gig of video on it. In the last two weeks, though, iTunes tells me that 109 tracks won't sync, with the error message "because they cannot be played on this iPod." Some of them, homegrown movies, I understand, but others are either podcasts downloaded through the iTunes store, purchased music (Sheryl Crow's new album) or recently ripped tracks that I did through iTunes using either 128 AAC or Apple Lossless. Most of the ones I've noticed to date were imported in the last 2-3 weeks, and play fine on iTunes, just not the iPod.
    I've tried restoring the iPod and deauthorizing then reauthorizing the computer. Neither works. The next step, I think, would be to rebuild my library, but I have tons of playlists I don't want to recreate (or export/import one-by-one, which is how it looks like have to do it).
    I can't help but wonder if this is something related to the latest updates to iTunes, seeing as how it's a such a new phenomenon, and there seem to be several similar posts (although not exactly my situation) in discussions.
    I welcome any and all suggestions!

    Podcasts are completely independent of Apple and iTunes, they're not from iTunes itself. All iTunes does is list the podcast and tell iTunes where to go and find it if you ask to download it. There are other (non-iTunes) Podcast catchers which do the same thing for other MP3 players. So I think that when listing podcasts on iTunes, Apple/iTunes does not consider it's playablity - because it's a podcast and that's the way of Podcasts! Also, the podcaster has probably not produced these podcasts specifically for the iPod and so has not realised that they don't work on our iPods as you and I expect them to.
    You could try sending feedback to the podcast creator, explaining that their Podcasts don't play on the iPod itself. They may +_or may not_+ do something about it.
    I've had this problem with both audio and video Podcasts. There is an option to convert selections for the iPod which I have tried for the videos, (click on the top menu and *Advanced/Convert selection for iPod/iPhone*. However, this process takes forever and I gave up trying it. I simply watch them in iTunes. I cannot actually remember what I did for the audio Podcasts, but if I right-click (in Windows that is..) on an audio Podcast, I see the option to *convert selection to AAC*. I don't promise that it will work, but you could give it a try.
    As for the Sheryl Crow album , if it was purchased from iTunes, I would expect it to play on the iPod without converting it. The same goes for tracks ripped using iTunes on your PC. I can't explain that, perhaps someone else can?

  • Outlook and iCloud won't sync since Windows 8.1 upgrade

    So I've finally figured out my problem, but have no solution. The problem is that ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, Outlook "forgets" that the iCloud add-in is enabled. Every time I start Outlook, I have to manually go into options and re-enable the add-in. After that, syncing calendars and contacts to iCloud and my iPhone works just fine. In order to fix this, I figured out that I can set Outlook to run as an administrator. Works perfectly, as in now having the add-in enabled automatically. I thought this was the end of my troubles, but now Outlook no longer syncs with iCloud. Tried everything, and it just won't.I read on another thread that Outlook won't sync when you run it as an administrator. And sure enough, switching back to NOT running it as an administrator fixed the problem, in that it now syncs again. However, I'm stuck with re-enabling the add-in every time I start Outlook. Is there no other way to do this?

    I don't use playlists. Maybe as a workaround you could try music software other than Windows Media Player, like Media Monkey
    http://www.mediamonkey.com/
    And see if you have better luck.
    The free version of Mediamonkey should  do playlists for you; what you get with the Gold (paid) version, mostly, is an mp3 ripper, but you can also install an mp3 ripper without buying it. 

  • Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Please,please, help,
    My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

  • IBooks and podcasts won't sync between iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro

    I have an iPad 2, an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro (Mavericks) - all are on the cloud and wifi sync, all permissions are there, settings are correct.  The iBooks issue I had was between the MacBook and the iPad - I put some PDF files into iBooks on my MacBook and when I went to the iPad they were not there.  Even after syncing, connecting directly to the MacBook via USB - nothing.  They are there now, but I have no idea how that happened.  I tried that a week ago.
    This morning on my commute into work, I added a couple of podcasts to the Apple podcast app on my iPhone 5s.  When I got into the office and went to the podcasts app on my iPad, they were not there.  Even after syncing on wifi (I don't have my MacBook with me so I haven't tried direct syncing).
    Am I misunderstanding how the wifi syncing works altogether?  Or is my iPad the issue?  Any help is appreciated!

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

  • My iPhone won't accept my Apple ID after upgrade

    Hi
    I just downloaded the iPhone OS 5 update and my phone won't accept my me.com password so I can't unlock it.

  • IPod won't sync or be recognised after upgrading to 2.0 software

    Decided to pay for new 2.0 update for the iPod Touch, now when I connect it, Windoes makes a beeping sound to show that it's been recognised, and iTunes (7.7) opens automatically, battery on the iPod starts charging, but the iPod doesn't show up on iTunes. I'm not being able to sync any of my music onto the iPod, so it's been empty since last night (since I updated it.) It's driving me insane. I've tried doing the following things:
    - install iTunes over the existing iTunes
    - delete iTunes, Apple Software Update, Quicktime, and then reinstall iTunes again.
    - changed the USB ports a number of times, and tried 3 different USB cables
    - restarted iPod and reconnected
    - Stop and Start the Apple Software in 'Services'
    It was all fine before I upgraded to 2.0 and I was able to sync before. This is probably a very repetitive topic in this forum, but I really don't know what else to do.

    Try to reinstall iTunes.
    Some necessary drivers for your iPod Touch might be corrupted.

  • YouTube Videos and others won't play on iPad mini after upgrade to iOS 7.0.2, any suggestions?

    I upgraded my iPad mini to the iOS 7.0.2 software and now videos (YouTube, USA Today, etc) won't play.  I have already done a restart (holding down the menu button and on button) and eern after restart, videos won't play.  Any suggestions?

    when u do a restore it deletes off everything on the device, including software. then it reinstalls the software from a new download package. this will ensure ur device isnt getting the same glitch in its system that ur current software has if that is the issue. when u restore from the backup u made AFTER uve done the 'restore ipad' that will put all of ur stuff back onto the ipad. i would suggest deleting off the youtube app b4 doing the back up and then readding it after the restore and restore from back up phases. if all of that doesnt work, youtube is the one with the problem and u should contact them.

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

    before you can add the "new" computer as a sync computer

  • HT204264 "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices."  Really?  Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" mode

    "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices."  Really?  Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model?  If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit?  I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage.  Please advise, Apple.  Thank you.

    I agree and am baffled by this also.  At first I was really excite about this new feature.  Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream.  I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries.  Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does.  However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit.  This just makes no sense to me.  I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB.  So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large.  Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model.  My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

  • I purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.
