Sync instead of Streaming

I recently purchased a season of Mi-5(TV series), but it has not synced to my iMac. When I look at pref. in iTunes, it shows my computer and streaming, when I would really like it 'synced'. How do I change from streaming to Sync? I am running up-to-date versions of OS-X, iTunes, and Apple TV.
I have been using my Apple TV for 2 years, everything I've been listening or watching (music,movies,TV shows) have been from streaming, even though there is nothing on my Apple TV HD. I guess I've just assumed that is how it was to be working... Not realizing, that the information could have been synced to my Apple TV, for quick access from my Apple TV. (It would be nice, not waiting 2 or 3 minutes to stream the menu and not to have my computer on while I'm watching my Apple TV). Is there something I can do? I know that my system needs to have a reset, but i don't want to lose my Mi-5 season.

I played for another couple of hours, I decided to delete the connections, until all the collections were deleted. I also, deleted the Apple TV in Preferences. Then I reset my Apple TV (NOT Factory Reset). I then connected the AppleTV back to iTunes. I was able to identify it as 'sync'. As soon as I did that, it started to download my movie and Mi-5 TV series. (YES) Now I i'm waiting for the syncing. I'm keeping my eyes on it. Hope is all goes well. If there is a changeI will let you know.

My videos started DOWNLOADING instead of STREAMING, please help

Hi,
I use to be able to show streaming video's on my site, created with Apple's iWeb and Compressor. Now, the videos I add to the site do not stream they download; they show the QuickTime logo; it takes quite some time for the videos to appear.
I used QuickTime codec H.264 (mpeg-4), among others; videos are 320X240, 12 fps, hinted streaming, self contained just as for the other videos created and uploaded previously onto www.zoetra.com that play properly. I upload using Cyberduck.
I contacted the host they do not know what causes this problem. Here below are the URL addresses of the pages where the videos download instead of streaming.

I don't know much about this QuickTime stuff, but what I hear people recommending is to make sure that your movies have the "faststart" property included. It sounds like you probably have QuickTime Pro, and I understand that it is one of the save options there.
If you don't have QuickTime Pro or if you just want a one-trick pony type of application to add the faststart property, you should check out Lillipot...

What you'll have to do is to re-save the movie files, then replace the ones currently on your pages with the updated files.

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

During sync, new contacts on my iphone are deleted. I'll typically add any new contacts I get directly to my iphone, simply because I don't have my mac on me at all times. However, unless I specifically add the contact to my mac address book, it will be deleted from my iphone contacts upon sync. The option in iTunes to replace contacts on my iphone is not selected. Is there a way to merge info on sync instead of replace?

Thank you for your reply. I realy have nothing else to sync - no music. Emails do work so its just my contacts I am concerned about. I'm kinda new at this but have a working understanding of the system.
I have an icloud account but the Geek Squad went there and tried but could not export contacts. I truly am not that good re icloud. They worked exclusively with my itunes, re-downloading, etc - all of the stuff in their book.
I have not tried a complete restore because I am not sure I am that good with the equipment but could. I did all of the stuff on the help page - sync reset, forced one-way sync etc but the phone just does not seem to recognize the sync. I have not gone to an Apple store to have them have a look - that may be my next step to hook up to another itunes computer. It seems simple to me - it was working fine until maybe 3 months ago - probably when there was an update. Its telling to me that the phone does not tell me there is a sync in process while itunes is saying there is - its just not biting between the 2.
I appreciate any hep - and I said, I not stupidi about these things but have kind of reached as far as I am comfortable with fear of doing something really wrong.

You need to right (or Control) click on your playlist file and select "Get Info."
Then in the Get Info Dialog go to the Open with section and select the app
(like VLC or iTunes) that you want to open when you double click on the
playlist. You can click on the Change All button if you want all files of the
same type to launch with the same app.

Unfortunately not if you use separate ID's for your iCloud accounts.

Quick Time downloading mp3 file instead of streaming it

When I click on an mp3 file on a webpage which normally streams, it now starts downloading instead of streaming. Using the latest version.

Thanks for your help. Actually after my last post in saying it only happened in Firefox I had a further look in Firefox - Options - Applications - it showed that Quick Time default player was set to play mp3 files. I changed this to the Quick Time plug in and it worked. Thanks again.

Syncing Shared Photo Stream comments to the website

Running Mountain Lion on a new Mac Mini.
I have a shared Photo Stream that a couple people subscribe to but most see from the Public Website. Not all comments that I enter from iPhoto show up on the website. Especially if I delete an original comment and add a new one. Comments from the subscribers are also not showing up on the website though I see them in iPhoto immediately. I am adding the comments to the Photo Stream pics in iPhoto.
Is there a way to force the Public Website to re-sync to the Stream? Several pictures that the new comments didn't show up on I reloaded to the Stream but that puts them to the beginning or end of the stream, depending on where you're looking from. New pictures, with comments, show up immediately but added comments do not. Cycling the Website OFF and back ON doesn't seem to fix the problem.
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

Photo Stream only uses the file names and what you're changing is the Title, not file name. To get the title to be the file hame you have to export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option to use the title as the new file name.

The Cannot Setup Sync message indicates that you don't have internet access. Check that you can get your phone online (3g or wifi) and then try to connect again.

ITunes 11 Downloading Instead of Streaming

So unless I'm missing something, according to Apple the new iTunes 11 allows you to stream songs that are stored in the cloud, without having to first down them. I have a couple albums I purchased on my iPhone and show up in iTunes with the iCloud/download button like they should. But when I double-click a song it starts to download it, instead of streaming it. Once it's downloaded it plays like normal, but I don't understand why it's downloading instead of streaming.
Second issue I'm having is that complete albums are not showing up in iTunnes. I just purchased a single song, and from what I understand when I view it in album view it should (or at least can) show the rest of the album and offer me the chance to purchase additional songs. On my iPhone I can click the "Show Complete Album..." button in order to do this. But in iTunes all I get is the single song I've downloaded. How do I change this?

The Mighty Mouse is the newer mouse, with left, right, middle, and side buttons. I believe what you mean is that the computer only has the older mouse, with one button.
What he meant was click the control key (not the Apple key, which is also called the command key) and left click with the mouse on the link. This should open up a small menu letting you save it to the desktop. The control key is two buttons to the left of the Apple (command) key on the standard size Apple keyboards. Remember to hold down the control key while clicking with the mouse.
Good luck.

Syncing downloading and streaming

Like a lot of others I am having problems since v 2.0. While I work it out I have several short questions.
1) During streaming video should I turn off sync at ITunes? It will otherwise be syncing for the next 20 years since it is so slow (took an hour for 12 photos yesterday)
2) Does downloading movies (podcasts or from ItunesU) interfere with syncing and/or streaming? Should I pause this if I want to use streaming on my apple tv upstairs?
3) Should I bring down the little apple tv and hook it up by ethernet to get content synced to it? Does that retain when it connects later wirelessly?
4) If I download an HD movie from ITunes store how long does it usually take? (Again this is wireless)
5) If I decide I am not interested in doing #4 should I go back to version 1 of Apple TV?

I don't have a lot of (or any) answers for your questions, only some more information. I am having a lot of problems also since "upgrading" to 2.0 - basically any syncing is going at a snail's pace.
First, a new "feature" according to an Apple TV product specialist I am working with (he just discovered this in the process of trying to solve my slow sync problem) is that whatever iTunes library you are synced with (the Main Library) also allows you by default to stream, and there doesn't appear to be a way to turn this off. You can turn on and off other Shared Libraries.
I have well over 160Gb of content, so I am only syncing 1 playlist to the Apple TV. So I obviously chose Custom Sync. My synced content is uploading over 802.11g at the rate of about 3 hours of content per 24 hour period (about 30 times slower than before the upgrade), on the other hand, the streamed content becomes playable in about 1 to 2 seconds and I don't notice any untoward delay (e.g., I can fast forward through it pretty well).
In addition, I get strange behavior when checking the "Show only the synced items..." check box. I have started syncing again so it first shows only the message "No Content". Trying again gets a long message about how I should sync or download from iTunes to get Content." Trying a third time (meaning selecting My TV Shows from the menu) shows ALL my iTunes Library content available for streaming, however the show names get randomly replaced with Unknown Artist - and which shows get displayed as Unknown Artist changes at random also. They all play (as does music and movies, none of which are synced).
I am about ready to "downgrade" (upgrade?) back to 1.1
So
1) I don't think you CAN turn off syncing
2) Don't know
3) I don't know that this will help, my WiFi connection is WELL under saturated.
4) Don't know, and it depends on your connection - however you can start playing back before it is fully downloaded
5) There are some nice features implemented in 2 (I like that they finally added ratings control so that I can block content for my children), but if it is unusable, I will downgrade to 1.1 and wait for 2.1
5)

Why is my phone deleting new voice memos when I sync instead of transferring them to iTunes?

When I plug in my phone to sync with iTunes, it is sometimes deleting my new voice memos instead of copying them to iTunes. This is really frustrating because some of them are important. Why is it doing this? Did I miss some sort of setting that tells the voice memo app on the phone to mirror what is in iTunes rather than the other way around? I have the "sync voice memos" box checked, but I was under the impression that meant the voice memos would go from the phone to the computer. Is there any way to recover the misssing voice memos?

You need to restore your phone as a new device and NOT restore anything from backup.

Apple TV: Sync with iMac & stream from PC/Vista?

Happy New Year to all --
I have my main iTunes library on my Mac (box iMac, not portable) upstairs, and I have been syncing that library to my Apple TV downstairs. The syncing occurs, and I can listen to my library through my speakers which are connected to my Apple TV. This is setup fine. The only thing I don't like is that the Apple TV's options for playback are very limited.
I have a subset of my library on my laptop PC (running Vista). As this is portable, I'd sometimes like to stream music from this PC to my remote speakers which are connected to my Apple TV. Then I can use the iTunes interface on the portable to make playlists, plan upcoming songs, etc. on the portable and have the music streamed to the Apple TV and out the speakers. This I cannot get to work consistently.
So, I want to sync to one computer and stream from another. I do not have to do this simultaneously of course, I just want the flexibility that the iTunes interface has to offer, closer to the listening area.
I have tried many, many things. Rarely I can get the PC's iTunes to recognize the Apple TV, but when it does, the streaming is unlistenable (consistent dropouts). Today I haven't been able to get iTunes to even recognize the Apple TV's existence. I have rebooted everything (incl network/router), made sure all SW is up to date, changed channels, made sure PC is looking for the Apple TV, made sure UDP 5353 is open, etc etc. to no avail. My network is 802.11g and the signal is strong everywhere.
I thought this was possible, even desirable, and I also thought that the days of lousy audio streaming was largely over, since video is now being streamed with some success. My network is busy (two tivos, three computers, PS3, Apple TV) but not using a lot of the bandwidth most of the time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Multicast rate.
The multicast rate determines the minimum data transfer speed allowable for a transfer to take place, setting a high value may well make a more robust network but it may simply never allow a transfer if this is too high. I have mine set at 2 Mbps (although I can't be sure you have such an option on your router - sorry I thought you were using an airport.
Channel
I couldn't suggest a channel, it all depends on which channels those around you are using, you'll likely need to try a few options unless you actually know what all the other networks around you are using. Other devices (cordless phones, microwaves etc) can also cause interference.
Is it common to be able to stream to the ATV (i.e. see it in the remote speakers pull down menu at the bottom) but not have it recognized as a device in iTunes (i.e. in the left column)? That's what sometimes happens to me.
I wouldn't actually know, I've never had any problems with networking my tv's, although network requirements for the tv and airtunes are not the same, so I suppose it's entirely possible that airtunes will be available while you are unable to access the tv.

Sync works, but streaming just stopped

Up until recently, I could sync and stream from iTunes to my ATV, no problem. Movies that I had in iTunes that were not synced would stream. Now, I can still sync, but nothing is streaming and I have not changed any settings.

No. I just double checked.
Nothing is streaming, but I can sync okay.
