Streaming or Syncing DVD

I was told when i bought Apple TV that i can stream or sync a dvd without having to rip it with handbrake. Can someone please let me know, because i like the device but it has not lived up to the hype yet.

Gosh where did the other posts go?
Perhaps we inadvertently speculated?

I have produced several short iMovie projects and want to link them into a continuous stream on a DVD. Can it be done? All of the projects are in my Moblie Me Gallery

I have produced several short (2 to 3 minute) iMovie projects and want to link them in a continuous stream on a DVD. The clips are in my Mobile Me gallery. How can it be done?

You can do that too, it's all in the iDVD program.
But first you want to assemble the separate clips into one big long clip. For that you would use iMovie. Share to the Media Browser (choose the Large size). Let it export then quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, click on the Media button and then the Movies button. Under the iMovie star icon you will see your final assembled clips movie. In the iDVD project window turn on the map view (it's little boxes that look like a flowchart) then drag the iMovie project into the first box:
You can set the project to startup without a Menu, and then loop continuously as well. Go up to the Advanced Menu then click on the Loop movie option to turn it on.
Once checked the Loop movie status will appear as curved arrow icon in the Project Window:
In the lower right corner is the icon indicating this video clip will loop while being played.

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

From what I can tell this is a bug.
A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

TV shows no longer stream or sync to apple tv's

I have 2 Apple Tv's in different parts of the house on a wired gigabit CAT 6 network. Everything has been fine until a couple days ago when all of my TV Shows older than a couple days disappeared off both Apple TVs. I have over 300 movies and almost 2500 TV shows on a server. I use my iMac to run iTunes off the server and host the Apple TV's. Everything still shows up in iTunes and plays fine. All of of the 300+ movies still show up on both Apple TVs when streaming and the newest 10 show up on the Apple TVs when iTunes is not running as I have selected. All TV shows are displayed in the TV Show tab in iTunes to select to sync. However, only the shows I have downloaded in the past 2 days show up on the Apple TVs either streaming or synced. And, the exact same shows are the only ones that will show up on either Apple TV so I do not think it is a problem with the Apple TV itself. I have tried adding and deleting the Apple TVs, restarting, restarting iTunes, syncing shows and unsyncing shows and I cannot get all of my old shows to stream and cannot get the shows I selected to sync to transfer. Everything worked fine until a couple days ago and I haven't done anything since except buy that Michael Moore season of The Awful Truth. Karma? Any thoughts on fixing it?

Figured it out but in case this happens to anyone else...
The TV Shows somehow were all unchecked in the tv show section of itunes. None of the unchecked shows will display on the Apple TV. Only new shows that were downloaded were check and those would show up. Selected all then control clicked and selected "check selection". This fixed it but it almost drove me crazy trying to figure it out.

Why aren't my photo stream pictures syncing to iPhoto once I moved it onto an External Hard Drive?

I recently moved my iPhoto library to an EHD, and everything has been working great.
I just went in, however, and my August 2014 photo stream, which syncs from my iPhone, only has one picture from each day/set of photos I have taken.
It is extremely odd - only the first photo from a vacation I went on, the event I went to last night, the meal I photographed on Tuesday are showing up.
If anyone can please help, I'd appreciate it!

Syncing DVDs to your iPod Touch

Hello,
This is my first post on Apple Discussions. I would like to first comment on how supportive and polite this community seems to be, and cannot wait to get active in it.
Apple products are some of the best in my opinion. Innovative, fun, and very usable. You guys are evolving technology in ways no one else has. The work Apple has done on computers, handhelds, and even small accessories have led the path to inspiration and innovation in technology.
Okay, I am done sucking up now, haha. I will move on to my question.
Is it possible for you to sync DVD's, that you have bought at a store, with your iPod Touch? If so, can you use a CD-ROM, or do you need a CD-DVD on your computer? For example, I can take albums I have bought, let's say Elton John's +Songs From the West Coast+, and put them in my CD-ROM and they will automatically add those songs in a database that I can copy to my iTunes which I can sync to my Touch. Is the same possible with DVDs?
There are tons of movies I have bought that I would really like to contribute to my iPod Touch library. Some movies I have on DVD aren't even available in the iTunes Store. Now that is really frustrating.
Please give personal experiences with this, official Apple documentation about this, or any support you can give. I will greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for all support!

Well I wasn't planning on ripping, but I bought the DVD, and I am not redistributing it, so shouldn't I be fine?
Is there no way to add it on the Touch without "ripping" it?
And if I can't add a DVD onto my Touch, is there a place where I can suggest videos to be added to the iTunes store.
Thanks for the quick response as well.

Streaming and syncing

HAVE found a problem / have a question. I have synced my ATV with my macpro itunes. Some movies and TV shows are synced but as I have a lot of content, I need to stream the rest. Whenever I attempt to stream from the mac pro it tells me I have no content eg movies. So - is it true that you cant sync AND stream from the same itunes?? I did get a reply for Fletsch saying that streaming and syncing was possible (as I thought). BUT for some reason I dont get that option in my ATV menu. My existing content is invisible unless I sync it. Really annoying, as it also seems that if I set ATV to stream, it removes it as a synced option. Unless there is a box I havent checked or a setting I have missed. It is so much more complicated than the previous interface. Any ideas?

When an itunes library is set as the primary library (syncing) it will also stream any content you have in the library that isn't synced provided it is checked by its name in the appropriate library listing.
It sounds as though the tv can't see your library when set up as the primary library, is your itunes library sharing turned on in itunes prefs.

Videos in a shared Photo Stream can only be streamed, they cannot be downloaded.

Yet another photo question -- better to stream or sync?

I plan to purchase an ATV this weekend and need help choosing between the 40 and 160 models. Though I've read dozens of posts, I'm still confused whether streaming or syncing photos will work best for me. My understanding is that I will only need the 40GB if I stream (ignoring other HD uses).
My photo setup: I currently have about 10,000 pix stored on a NAS drive and add to them weekly. My itunes runs on a PC (sorry) and I manage photos with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.(I do not have Photoshop Elements). Network is hardwire 100MB.
My goals:
1. To view my pix on ATV with the least additional workflow relative to my current habit of downloading and managing images in Lightroom (i.e. need to transfer or rename files to view them in ATV, etc.)
2. To have the best possible viewing performance (i.e. no lag, easy to find pix, etc.)
3. Spend as little as possible (i.e. no new software, 40HDD)
How does streaming compare to syncing given my needs?
What size drive?
Thanks in advance for the help. Sorry if the answer is obvious.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
In most cases setting up your itunes as a syncing or primary library is a better option, it gives you much more functionality. What you should remember is that even in the role as a primary library you do not need to sync all your content as you have the option with a primary library of syncing or streaming your content.
This doesn't apply to photos though, so if you set itunes up as a primary library you must sync your photos, if you set it up as a secondary library you can only stream them.
Question to ask yourself is how many of the photos will you want on the tv, I have about 14,000 photos but only have about 4,500 on the tv. Many of my photos were taken on digital cameras as far back as 1995 when photo file size was quite small hence I have about 4 GB of photos on the tv.
I sync very little else and 4 of my 5 tv's are 40 GB and the other tv doesn't really have anything different on. You do use a little space for temporary storage of purchases and rentals you make via the tv, but I rarely ever have more than 10 GB of such content at any one time.

Photo stream not syncing to other devices

I have an iPhone, iPad and Macbook but can not get my photo streams to sync on all my devices. Example I have 5 different streams on my phone but they are not visible on my macbook and iPad

Hi Carolyn Samit & Kyled75,
I'm having almost a similar issue with my two iDevices. I have an iPad 3 and an iPhone 6 Plus and both of them have exactly the same settings for iCloud as well as "Photos & Camera". Photo Stream is enabled on both devices.
But when I go to "Photos -> Albums -> My Photo Stream" or simply in the main Photos Section, I cannot see all my previous photos and videos on my iPhone. However, on my iPad, I can see each and every photo and video perfectly without any hassle.
I really hope to get some help on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Abid

Multiple Video Streams not synced

Long story short;
I have a track with two video streams or angles. They are the exact same in terms of timecode down to the last frame (it's basically the same video but one stream has a color filter for visual effect).
My problem is this: whenever I switch between the two videos, the second video is not synced with the audio. It seems to be a few seconds off, and I'm hoping to get this issue resolved. The first video stream is synced properly regardless, but it's just the second stream that isn't working properly.
If it makes any difference, I'm using .m2v video format and only one audio stream. Anybody have any ideas?

That's actually exactly how I have it, I just added an extra option so you can, in theory, switch between the two versions on the fly.
In the track viewer both video streams are the exact same length, the only issue is when I switch the video angles. I guess I could just erase the second video stream and avoid the problem altogether (don't want that showing up in my final school project now do I), but I really want to figure this out.

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all

Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Apple TV streaming vs syncing and not doing either

I have an Apple TV and a MacPro with an iTunes Library on it. I went to get the ATV on the network and that was just fine. I can get on the internet and watch trailers and download and watch movies. But the iTunes Library won't either stream or sync. It certainly won't sync. It says [in preferences] that it is streaming. And when I check the ATV again ref. the shared libraries of music or photos or podcasts etc, it says "Loading XX Library" - and it's been doing that for about 10 minutes = and I'm right now just testing it with 7 photos and it's not going anywhere.
Network works, ATV can get on internet, it shows up in iTunes, the iTunes Library on the computer is properly named and listed as one of the 'computers' but it won't load to either sync or stream.

It's all about which set up you choose when you set up the library. When you click on the tv in itunes how many tabs do you see (as per the link). If it's only 2 you have set up a secondary library and a secondary library cannot sync.
If this is the case you need to delete (disconnect) on the tv (see the bottom pictures on my link), then you need to start again by 'connecting to itunes' (the top one in the list-where I've denoted 'add a primary library) you will need to go through the pass code thing again, but before you do, look in itunes preferences-tv, ensure that look for Apple tv's is selected and delete any tv's that are already in the list there.
