Sync Purchased/Downloaded Apple TV content to Itunes

I have configured quite the home entertainment network replete with a mini, a NAS, a couple ATVs and a couple Airport Expresses over a new wireless N network. All is well. I have been using my ATVs for streaming content from the iTunes share only.
However, I would like to purchase content on my ATVs and have the content stored/moved to the iTunes library. I have consciously chosen not to sync my Apple TV with iTunes because I have a lot of content in my library (see 1TB NAS) I would prefer not to bother syncing or adding content to the ATV at all for that matter. It doesn't need to have it...
So, what is the best solution for configuring content (music/podcast/tv shows/movie) purchased on the Apple TV down to the iTunes library?
Additionally, if I sync, and I know I can easily fill the ATV hard drive with photos, video, music and still be able to stream the remaining.... what happens when the HDD on the ATV is full and I go to purchase new content? Anybody achieved that level yet? I only bought 40GB ATVs. I really don't want my purchased files all over the place...

You set up syncing from the tv by selecting settings/computers/connect to itunes (you might have to remove itunes as a streaming library first).
If you don't want to actually sync anything, choose custom sync and imply don't choose anything to sync.

    Any error messages when you sync the iPod? Do all of these tracks play okay in iTunes?
    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs?

  • Where can I purchase/download Apple Works

    I have installed several iMacs over the last few months and am running across users who use AppleWorks. They are wanting to continue using it specifically the draw portion.
    Where can I purchase/download Apple Works?
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    You could try eBay and do a search for "AppleWorks" or "Apple Works" (some people put a "space" in the name). Hardcore Mac sells AppleWorks 6.2.4.

  • I can not get to the site to get songs purchased & downloaded.Haven't been on iTunes in quite awhile and ended up redownloading iTunes still no help finding my songs.

    I can not locate my songs that I downloaded. I even redownloaded the iTunes site and still it did not take me to the site to find my songs. Please, someone help!

    So what sync settings do you currently have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?  Any error messages when you try to sync?
    To be sure, reset sync warnings. To do this, right->click the iPod under Devices and choose Reset Warnings. Then resync your iPod.

  • Can't manage Apple TV content in iTunes 8.1

    After upgrading to iTunes 8.1 i had to reconnect my ATV with iTunes by finding the device and entering the code. I can see my ATV in devices no, but on the Summary page it only shows Name, Capacity, Software Version, and S/N. Nothing about disk space, auto-sync or custom sync, etc... as it did before. I verified that the ATV's software was up to date. The only other tab besides Summary is Photos.
    Has anyone else run into this? How do I get the Music, Video, Podcast, etc... tabs back and get a full Summary page?

    It's because you have set iTunes to stream only to the Apple TV when you reconfigured it. You need to set it back up again as a "synced" library.
    I don't think downgrading will make any difference in this case.

  • Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes

    Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network.  The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start.  With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
    Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes.  Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
    Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

    Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

  • I'm unable to download Apple Keynotes vids and iTunes gimme an Error code (403)

    I'm unable to download "WWDC 2008 Keynote address / Apple Keynotes" and iTunes gimme an Error code (403). Would anyone tell me what to do?

    Either the service did not install when you set up iTunes, or it has been stopped for some reason.  If you are using Win7, go to the start orb, click, type services at the bottom. Then look in the window that opens for the Apple service(s), and start them all.  Then reload iTunes and try again.  If you don't find an Apple service, then you will need to install iTunes again, and be sure it is the current (10.2) version.

  • In-App purchase using apple account redeemed with iTunes card

    I have charged my apple account using iTunes card to buy diamonds from boombeach game. Unfortunately, they didn't allow me to buy diamonds because thay said "apple doesn't allow in-app purchase to be done using iTunes card, you should pay with visa instead". That's exactly wastes my money ! How could I pay with my iTunes card amount. If I cannot do so, how could I refund the price of the iTunes card?
    thank you.

    You are in the country that you have listed on your iTunes account, you aren't trying to use another country's store ? If you are then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can do anything to stop it requiring payment details : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • HT2729 Can I sync movies downloaded on another PC via iTunes to a new PC?

  • HT4914 I will soon be getting a new PC and I'd hate to lose all the music I've purchased/downloaded from places other than iTunes , is iMatch my solution or am I out of luck?

    From what I've read I think this is my solution , but I'm still unsure.

    The general question of copying all user data and settings to a new computer is really out of scope for this forum - however, Microsoft does have tools and tutorials on their site on how to do this (details will vary depending on the version(s) of Windows running on your old and new computers.  A Google search for "Windows transfer data to new computer" should provide useful results.
    Detailed instructions specific to iTunes also depend on the version(s) of Windows you're running, and on how your current iTunes library is organized.  If you can post a response with answers to the following questions I can point you in the right direction.
    What version of Windows in running on your old computer?
    What version of Windows is running on your new computer?
    Do you have either:
    a network that both old and new computers are connected to, or
    an external (USB) hard drive?
    What version of iTunes are you running on the old computer?
    Now, on your old computer run iTunes (I'll assume for now that its running version 11), press Ctrl-B if the menu bar is not visible, then select Edit > Preferences > Advanced.  You should get a window that looks like this:
    What is shown as the "iTunes Media folder location" (1)?
    Is the box labeled "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" (2) checked?
    Is the box labeled "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" (3) checked?

  • My purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device.

    I'm not sure what I've done but my purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device. They can only be found on Itunes under 'library/tv shows' and 'apple tv/tv shows'. How can I transfer the shows back onto my Apple TV and then erase the files from itunes? Once accomplished, how can I prevent my Apple TV purchses from syncing with my itunes (to save space on itunes, I prefer not to sync purchases from apple tv).
    Thank you in advance for any advice!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You haven't done anything wrong, this is the way it is supposed to work. You cannot sync the content back to the Apple TV and then erase it from iTunes because the Apple TV mirrors iTunes, and if it is deleted from iTunes it will also then get deleted from the Apple TV.
    You might also see this, however I strongly recommend against it.
