Sync iTunes with Apple TV by keeping movies on Apple TV hard disk?

I have a 144 Gb AppleTV that I sync with my iTunes, I was wondering if their was a way to keep all bought/rented movies and TV shows on Apple TV without having them on the computer hd too? I tried syncing my photos the other day and kept on copying the movies to my computer even with the setting made not to sync movies and tv shows! any solutions?

This is never a good idea. You should always have a backup. If anything happens to the ATV you will be out of luck.

How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone 5 to pc???

1)   How to for dummies: sync itunes with pc to import pics from apple iphone, 5c, 7.1.2., to pc?
2)   How to delete photos from iphone (when I pick a pic there's no option to delete from trash icon)?
3)   How do I get the app (VS) VarageSale back on my phone screen? It is only listed in settings > notifications.
4) Or how do I delete the VS from settings, so I can reinstall?
NOTE: I have been to Verizon and they could not help me and it is too far to go to an apple store. I have downloaded the apple manual and it is toooooo technical for me.

If you don't have a backup of your pc, you will have to use a third party solution to get your music back. Wiki has a [comparison of ipod managers|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers] here which you can look through to see if any meet your needs. I have used [CopyTrans|http://www.copytrans.net/copytrans.php] successfully but I did purchase it so I don't know what the free version supports.
You can [download purchased Apps for free|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519] but that won't work for music, movies, etc.
Hope that answers your question. Sorry about your lack of backup. Better luck next time.

Hello Lcw2610,
I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.

Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc) via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.
Regards.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

We could not complete your iTunes store request. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.
New to all this and would really appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance
PS: I should say that I have an ITunes account - I have full permissions over the website etc. I am using Powerpress plug in on a wordpress site.

My guess would be that you've fallen over a glitch in the Store, in which case all you can do is wait a bit and try again, but it is only a guess. Without being able to look at your feed it's not possible to say whether there might be a problem there.

Syncing ITunes with My documents music folder....?

Was just wondering if its possible to sync ITune with the music folder on my computer as it gets annoying having to add new music manually, especially as Windows media player does this automatically without causing duplicates...

iTunes doesn't do folder monitoring.
One possible workaround is to look at 3rd party solutions such as iTunes Library Updater:

Article about automating updater

iTsync, a non free commercial program is another possibility although I don't have any experience of either myself.

HT204088 How do I verify a purchase in itunes when trying to rent a movie via apple tv?

How do I verify a purchase in itunes when trying to rent a movie via apple tv?

I have simply re-entered my credit card data after making the movie selection. It is a big nuisance to pull out the card and enter the numbers etc. including the 3 digit code. There must be a way to save the data for the Apple TV, but I have only had it for a few days and haven't figured it out.

You don’t sync iTunes with iCloud.

HT1725 Everytime I plug my phone into to sync, Itunes starts downloading the same rented movie over and over. I go in and delte it from my library but it does it again. How can I stop this from happening?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

How can i download movies from my portable hard disk or usb to my Ipad2 ?

how can i download movies from my portable hard disk or usb to my Ipad2 ?

Import them into iTunes, then sync to your iPad. Movies may need to be converted to an iTunes compatible format. There are any number of utilities for that such as HandBrake 0.9.5.
Please get the iPad iOS 4 user guide.
