I am looking to sync photos from my laptop to Apple TV. I have selected Homesharing and selected the files to sync, but nothing happens after this. Am I doing something wrong?

How to use Airplay to sync iPad with Apple TV

I have a new imac which is linked to my Apple TV, but I want to sync my iPad to the Apple TV so I can view apps. Do I need to download Airplay on the iPad. Couldn't find a download link. Help please!

You cannot sync with the Apple TV. You can use AirPlay to stream iPad content to your TV.

How many devices can sync to one apple ID?

How many devices can sync to one apple ID? I need to get all my music from an old computer to my new computer. I just purchased an album on my new computer and it's not syncing with my iPhone 5 and I don't want to pay $25 for the Cloud.

You can sync as many idevices as you like to one computer/library
The iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content fro the iphone.

How to keep synced library on Apple TV but delete synced items from iTunes

I use a Macbook Pro and space is limited, so does anyone know of a clean way to break the sync connection without deleting the existing synced content on Apple TV? I'd like to move items over, and then delete from my iTunes library to save space. I will also later want to add new items to be streamed, but without causing any past synching to be lost.
Can this be done by simply unchecking the "look for Apple TV" box in iTunes? If so, how can I then stream new content from the same Macbook Pro without causing past synced content to be lost? Since the syncing is quite slow over wireless network, I want to maintain commonly watched items on the apple TV but still ave the ability to stream a new item, from the same macbook pro if possible.

Thanks for the information. Just to be sure I'm clear: after I synch the one library (which I'll keep on an external hard drive where I have more space), is it OK to keep it around and make future changes that I want synced (and then just connect that library for synching whenever I want to change what is synched)? When I change back to my on-board library (on the Macbook pro), will that library not be synched automatically? Must I do anything on the Apple TV or in iTunes, other than start up with the different library, to ensure that my previously synched changes are not superceded?
Are you effectively saying that the synching of Apple TV is specific to a single iTunes library, even if different libraries are successively used in iTunes on the same machine? The manual has basically no information on how to preserve things synced, once synced, unless you're using the simplest model of wanting your iTunes library to be actively mirrored on the Apple TV. It is very painful to see things inadvertently deleted from Apple TV, given ow slowly things move over wireless g networks...

Only the Apple ID used to buy an app can update an app. Apple does not merge Apple IDs and Apple does not transfer content biught with one ID to another ID.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

How do I deauthorize all the computers I have synced to my apple Id when I don't have the computers any more

How do I deauthorize all the computers I have synced to my apple Id when I don't have the computers any more all I need is to get rid of the ones synced or authorized to my account so I can authorize my new computer thank u people :)

If you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

My photos will not sync to my Apple TV (1st generation), ipad, iphone, or itouch. They used to be there but upon recent syncs with all devices they have all gone. I am totally baffled as I have not changed settings?

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

How do I enable my new macbook pro to become my default computer to sync all my apple devices-iphone 4, touch, ipod classic, nano? My five year old dell's hard drive has only 2GB of space available and is currently the computer I use for all these device

I have a new macbook pro that I wish to sync all my apple devices--ipodclassic,nano,iphone4,touch-- that are currently synced with a 5 year old windows based computer with only 2GB of available hard drive space. How can I do this and maintain all of my info-contacts, songs,photos etc without losing this data< Thanks

you can either update to lion/ios5 and use the cloud to sync or you can plug in said devices and sync them with your MBP instead of your dell via a tethered usb connection.
also, sign into your itunes store account on your mac.

How do I sync my new apple id to my iPhone 4?

I just changed my apple id from a yahoo to a hotmail account. All of this information has been stored and sorted out on iTunes, however, when i go to purchase an app on appstore on my iPhone 4, it continues to ask me for the password of my old apple id. Is there away to sync my new apple id to my phone? If so, how? Thank you in advance.

You're welcome.
Bear in mind, any apps obtained with your old ID, can only be updated using that ID/password. Apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them.

Syncing iPad to apple tv

How do you sync iPad to apple tv

If you mean have the display be mirrored to the Apple TV, displaying what you see on the iPad onto the TV, you'd need an iPad 2. Visit the link below to learn more.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airplay.html
If you mean sync as in put the media you have on your iPad onto your Apple TV, you will have to go to the 'Internet' section of the Apple TV, and scroll down to Photo Stream to view your photos. To stream your music from the cloud, you will need to pay a subscription to iTunes Match, which is $24.99 a year, allowing you to stream all of your music on all of your iDevices while upgrading your ripped CDs and music acquired from other sources to iTunes quality music. Or you can leave your computer on and ultilize the 'Home Sharing' feature under the 'Computers' section in Apple TV.
If you have anymore questions, respond back.

Aperture 3.03 sync issue with Apple TV

Hi to all,
I would like to ask you for a help in the following issue:
When I sync Aperture with Apple TV I then see that only masters were transferred. When I make some photo adjustments (without creating a version from master) they are not visible on the Apple tv. I can only see a master photo without any adjustments.
How can I transfer a photo with adjustments made on it? Do I have to create a Version from master and then sync only that version with all adjustment made on it?

Related question from me.
I've got my Aperture library on an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme. Now version 3.0.3 of Aperture opens beautifully and reads my library, but when I try to sync my photos with my Apple TV then iTunes doesn't recognise any photos in my library, although it does recognise the projects and albums . :-s
Any ideas? Looking like a bug to me at the moment...
Kevin
