Synching of Apple TV to iTunes inconsistent.

Some movies purchased on Apple TV have never synched to my iTunes account. TV shows and music purchased during the same time frame have all synched. What am I missing?

Launch iTunes and navagate to the iTunes Store on the left. After the Store opens click the home icon at the top (it looks like a little house). On the right side of that page there is a Purchased option. If you purchased the movie using your Apple TV and it's not in your iTunes library you can re-download them with that feature.

See if this user-tip for syncing to a new computer helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If you have music from other sources on your phone (e.g. copied from CDs) and you don't have them on a backup, then there are some program listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

HT1766 I'm switching from iPhone 3GS AT&T iOS 4.3 to new iPhone 5 Verizon. Apple online suggests iTunes 11.0.1 on MB OS 10.6.8 to backup contacts, etc. How do I know if backup really worked? Can't find an iPhone contact in MB AddressBook? tx

I created a new contact on my iPhone and a different one in my calendar on the MB. Connected iPhone to the MB and synched/backedup. However, I can't find my iPhone contact in MB AddressBook and vice versa. Did the backup work? I cannot afford to lose my calendar, contacts, etc when I get my new iPhone 5. thanks!

When synching my ifone 4 with itunes the synch stops working.

When synching my ifone 4 with itunes the synch stops working. and an error message saying the program has stopped working correctly and windows will close the program and notify me when a solution becomes available. I've unistalled i tunes and assoctiated programs and done a re-boot and installed I-tunes again, but still got the same problem. Any suggestions?

I've unistalled and double checked the c: drive as per the Apple instructions and re-loaded itunes and still get the same error. It seems to be when its synching the phtographs when the problem occurs.

I can't get my ipod to synch with my conmuter or itunes. But my kids are able to synch their ipods.

I can't get my ipod to synch with my computer or itunes. I've checked the USB ports, my ipod is charged and my kids are able to get their ipods to synch.

Have you tried using a different known working USB cable? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.o port on the back of your PC? What happens if you reset the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try removing all other USB devices (minus the keyboard and mouse if applicable) and reboot your PC. Then reconnect your iPod after opening iTunes. Any luck there?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac running iTunes. Is it recognized there?

Why can't I see Apple TV in iTunes?

Why can't I see Apple TV in iTunes so that I can synch it?

The current ATV generation has no storage and therefore nothing to sync.

Question about TC, Apple TV and iTunes. Thoughts/suggestions please :)

Hi guys,
I picked up a TC and Apple TV last weekend, and have finally got them both working through my Netgear 834G modem/router.
I have currently got iTunes library setup on my Macbook Pro, but would like to move this onto the TC to free up space on my laptop. How do I go about doing this? Is it literally just a matter of copying/moving the itunes music folder onto the TC?
When the files are sat on the TC will I still be able to synch the apple TV by pointing it at the Macbook Pro library which in turns does not contain any physical files but points to the TC music folder?
Also, will I be able to point my partner's PC with iTunes installed to the same library to allow it to stream from there?
I don't know the best way of doing this and would like some thoughts and suggestions please. I basically want the files on the TC, the apple TV synching with it, the ability to play the music in the study (where my partners PC is) and also in the future, the ability to play music in the bedroom & dining room. Could I do this via airtunes and will I need an airport express to do this?
Suggestions/thoughts etc very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am interested in the iPhoto support as well. Are you able to zoom in and see photos in their native resolution- or is ATV downconverting them for 720P support. I would imagine that it must be doing something on the backend to shrink photos or else the wifi transfer would take a long time. Maybe the 8GB of cache is being used to store thumnails on the fly? Are you able to quickly move from photo to photo or is there a lag?
Can't wait for this to hit Canada!

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter. How do I fix that?

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

One Apple ID for iTunes...dont want to share photos/contacts/calendars....now what???

We have always just had the one Apple ID for the family....sync my iPod and the kids iPod along with my iPad. Just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and hubby's iPhone 4....now our calendars have merged. We dont mind sharing apps but dont want to deal with each other calendars or contacts. Had to restore husbands phone once after upgrade bc iMessage was frozen on "waiting" ... how do I handle this when we all sync to same MacBook??

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device.
On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Can I use multiple apple ids with iTunes Match?

My family has multiple apple ids although we share many devices. If we subscribe to iTunes Match, will it pull all the content from all the devices or just one apple id?

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store account. To use iTM on multiple devices all those devices must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same AppleID.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

How do i connect my apple ID with itunes?

I keep on trying to sign into itunes with my apple id, but it never works . How do I connect my apple ID with itunes?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
You may find that when you try to do this, the password for your old ID it isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can not get shows "Purchased on Apple TV" in iTunes to show up on Apple TV

Hi - Ugg! To try and make this all work I deleted and re-added Apple TV to iTunes. I now can not get any of the shows that have been transferred to my laptop (which I did not want in the first place) to show up on the Apple TV.
All the shows that I bought now live in iTunes under "Purchased on Apple TV" but are not showing up on my Apple TV.
When I go to sync it wants to move the few shows I have left on my Apple TV over and I can't get it to not do this.
Thanks

Control-click the movies in iTunes, reveal them in the Finder, move them over as you would any other file, and drag them into the open iTunes application window. Rented movies won't play if moved this way.

If you can log into the computer, go to the Mac App Store and purchase Mavericks under your AppleID. Even though its free, they still consider it a purchase.
If you are not able to log into your Mac you can try on a different Mac. Once you purchase it, you can stop the download if you want.
Once you do that then you should be able to reinstall via the Recovery HD
