Syncing problem with AppleTV and HP w/ Windows Vista

Vital Stats:
HP Media Center PC
Windows Vista Home Premium
iTunes 7.6.2.9
AppleTV 40GB Software Version 2.0.2 Wireless DHCP
I have been trying to sync my Apple TV with iTunes and keep getting the error:
The Apple TV "Downstairs Apple TV" is not responding.
Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.
I have done the obvious. I have checked the firewall software on my computer and have manually set the port as open and apparently when iTunes installs it also puts port information into the Windows Firewall. I have performed a factory reset on the Apple TV, reinstalled iTunes, checked my router and still it's a 'no go'.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Check your router for port forward/NAT rules that may involve ports 5353 and 3689, check that you haven't got the tv isolated at the router also.
Security software and file sharing applications may also be interfering with these ports take a look at any software on your PC that might be doing this.

Problem with Speaker and Headset in Windows Vista

Hi, I just got my Macbook Pro 13" and having problem with speaker and headset when working with Windows Vista (I have installed the driver from bootcamp). The sound very weak if I play music from Itunes or youtube even the volume already full and if i put my headset the sound not coming out. Is there anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Regards,Edwin

When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).

Sync Problem with Outlook and Blackberry Calendars

I am hoping someone has an "easy" solution to this problem.
I am using Desktop Sync (BIS) and synching it to my work Outlook 2007 mailbox.
Normally my calendar entries should sync to the Blackberry calendar associated with my work email address. Somehow, over the course of the past several days, some of my syncing was occuring with the the VZW Blackberry calendar. I didn't catch the problem in time and now I have work calendar entries correctly listed on my Blackberry, but in two different calendars.
I have since lost some of those entries originally created in Outlook. They are on the Blackberry, but on the wrong Calendar. When I sync with Desktop, the work entries on the VZW Calendar are not getting over to Outlook.
So the question is - is there a way to "move" the entries in one BB calendar, over to the other calendar? Thanks.

I would love to know the answer to this problem as well. I had the same problem even when I downgraded back to 5.0. It always worked fine before. Very Frustrating. To get around it clearing out all the settings on my handheld. I just have to click no every time it asks if I want to clear all databases on the phone before sync. It still syncs but doesn't change my settings. Annoying but works until they get this aggravation fixed.

Sync problems with music and podcasts

Hi there,
whenever I put new content to the music playlists or I got new podcasts loaded down by iTunes to sync them to the iPhone, the first sync process breaks down. The iPhone applies again after 10 seconds in a locked condition so I have to unlock it fisrt to keep on syncing.
I always have to sync twice to get a result. For example, to get new songs to the iPhone, first I have to put the songs on the iTunes playlist, then I have to sync with a disabled checkbox at "music" (the complete music will be erased at the iPhone) and then I have to sync again with an enabled checkbox (complete music will be sync comletely new at the iPhone).
It takes a lot of time to do the sync process in this way, can anybody help me? Am I doing something wrong?
Best regards

Another user recently reported a similar problem and it turned out to be an issue with email.
What I would do would be to turn off all syncing except for music and podcasts, reset your phone (perhaps even restore) and try the sync and see if it works. If it does at least you can narrow it down to something other than music and podcasts.

Sync problems with itunes and latest IPod nano

Hello,
I have the latest IPod touch and later purchase the latest IPod Nano for GF. My problem is I can't sync itunes with Nano, my current itunes library is sync with my IPod touch.
How can we manage a reciprocity where itunes enables accessibility for Nano to sync with my itunes library has it does recognize my IPod Touch.
Hope you understand my problem, looking for your kind assistance.
Thank you,
Frank

There should be no problems connecting and syncing two different iPods with one iTunes library. In fact there is NO limit to the number of iPads, iPhones, and iPods you can sync to one computer/iTunes library.
There are several ways to manage multiple devices with one library. All of them are described in more detail in this Apple support document.

IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chuck

You're welcome.
You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

Calendar syncing problems with laptop and iphone

Calendar entries on my iphone don't find their way to my ical on my laptop. When i connect and sync all ical entries are double entered on my phone. Please can anyone help.
Driving me mad as i just can't rely on it!

I think this might be the same problem I'm having, except that I'm having the same problem with both the calendar and the address book. I know things are syncing correctly between my work laptop, my home laptop, my home desktop, and MobileMe. My problem is with my phone. Everything synced fine until I upgraded to version 3. Then the phone would not update at all. I've tried to turn on the Contacts and Calendars in the Settings, but the "switches" won't stay ON. The Mail switch stays on with no problem. I finally forced the phone to sync through iTunes, but then I had double entries in the calendar and double contacts (on the phone only). So .. how to I get it to sync automatically, and how do I get rid of the double entries and contacts? Should I completely delete my account on my phone, and start over? I don't want to mess something up.

IPhone 3Gs syncing problems with PC and photos

An executive at my company is experiencing syncing issues with his photos on his PC and iPhone 3Gs. He's gone to the Apple Store and met with a Genius Bar consultant and they've already wiped the phone "clean" and still is unable to sync his photos to his iPhone. Any suggestions or fixes are greatly appreciated. He recently upgraded his laptop to Windows 7, could that be a contributing factor? Thank you.

Unlikley it's Windows 7. Maybe delete the iPod photo cache?... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

HT1386 Windows 8 Syncing Problem with Contacts and Calendars Office 2007 and iphone 4

I have a new Dell Inspiron 17R and just did a sync with my iphone 4. It wiped out my contact and calendar listing. I have selected the contacts and calenders sync option. It is almost like the sync process can not fine the pst file on this new Windows 8 computer.

For this particular issue, as suggested by yellowadept, go the the info tab at under the advanced section, choose replace contact information on iphone. This will over write any contact information on the iphone with what you have in address book on the computer.
However, if you are interested in what part of the 111 contacts will be changed, you could open address book first. Then highlight all your contacts and click on file>export>as vcard. Then you could back up all your contacts to your desktop. After you export all your contacts then you could sync the iphone and allow the changes to see what changes were made. If the iphone actually changed anything, then you could delete all your contacts in address book, then import the vcards back in.
Also, keeping a back-up of your contacts and calendars is a pretty good idea.
Hope this helps.

Calendar syncing problems with outlook and iphone

Months and months ago I had the following window pop up when I go to sync my phone:
"synching with iphone will change more than XX% of your calendars"
First I have to say the vagueness of Apples messages is disappointing. This message does not convey to me exactly what its going to do if I accept the message. This is my first apple product and I love my iphone, but itunes and everything related to the PC is disappointing! Anyway, I have been hitting cancel because when I attempt to lookup the problem online in a Google search I don't find any quick definitive answers. I no longer use outlook on this computer, so I want all the calendar entries in the phone to remain the same. I've attempted to uncheck calendar syncing and get the following message:
"Itunes will no longer sync calendars to the Iphone. Would you like itunes to remove calendars previously synced to you iphone"
Once again, the infamous apple user friendliness I've heard so much about doesn't seam to be true! This message is so vague. What calendars is it going to remove, the ones on the pc or the phone? And why would it remove anything, I just want it to stop syncing. Urg, frustraded. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

Problem with drag and drop application windows from one workspace to another

I work with multiple desktops (Spaces) and before I freely dragged the mouse a window from one space to another, now the mouse rests on the edge of space and the application does not become the next space. What am I doing wrong or where this option is set?

After the publication of the problem has disappeared, the window is dragged. Miracle! )

I'm at the end of my tether with not being able to access itunes which I could do perfectly well before! Now my laptop won't even connect to the internet despite the connection at the hub being excellent! No problem with ipad and phone - only windows!

I'm tired of this problem of not being able to access itunes on my laptop and now no internet access despite connection and strength being excellent. What are windows playing at? Worked perfectly well until recently. Very frustrating and time consuming!

Just a few lines to assure you you are not alone regarding speed delivery. By no means.
I'm on Infinity 2 with HH5 - was virtually guaranteed 63 d/l and told possibly even up to 78. My actual speeds are nearer 15 (yes 15!) to 28 d/l if I am lucky. I've played all the obligatory games of checking and posting and reviewing my HH stats - and of course wasting my time with India "help" customer services who are instructed to read from a script of inane generalities which are usually completely irrelevant and have no connection whatsoever with a user's Specific problem.
It more often than not turns out that the automated monitoring system imposes a software called DLM = Digital Line Management = which (with the endless excuse of improving line stability) increases noise margins and drastically reduces speed. This can kick in pretty rapidly and can take at least 3 to 4 days to modify itself - if indeed at all!!! Usually an Openreach engineer visit is then needed - who will re-set the Profile to what it is you are supposed to be paying for ..... then of course it is totally possible that DLM will re-emerge and the same old cycle of troubles will have to be endured.
We pay in good faith at the outset on the back of so many promises - only to be cynically let down and dismissed once signed up. It is quite wrong we have to continually argue our case to (try) to get anywhere and are always reminded that we are tied into contracts with expensive escape clauses - or that an engineer's visit is only free IF it is proved the fault is not inside your house - which it very rarely is! This is often more an Ordeal than a subscribed service. Superfast reliable Broadband in the UK ? Ha!

Sync Problems With Ipod and External HDD

Ive just got a new 4G ipod after returing it because of HDD problems and when i try to sync with itunes, it manages to sync a random number of songs (ill get to that later) often about a 100 and the says "Ipod could not be written or read from". The thing is that i use an Lacie 80Gb External USB 2.0 Powered Harddrive as my Music library. Also it seems not to be USB timeout because ive tried to power both the External HDD and Ipod with an external powered USB 2.0 Hub. Ive found out that the number of songs that syncs each time depends on the songs, because it seems that some songs cannot just be copied (ive tried to copy them through finder and it dosent work either, but moving and/or deleting them works) and they arent in anyway different(what i know of) to the songs that manages to be synced to the ipod. None of the songs have any kind of DRM restrictions.
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Use An External USB 2.0 powered HDD as main media storage

Ive had it on my Ibook before and then moved it to the HDD because of Space Shortage, and then just added as ive aquired more music. Idon't Really Remeber but i think it worked before without any hiccups. oh well otherwise i can just delete those files because theyre only single files here and there. but its quite irritating because they don't seem to have any kind of corruption.

Syncing problems with Itunes and Ipod Help?

Okay..I don't even know what's been happening with the newest Ios 5 update for apple products, but since the update, my ipod hasn't been able to synch with Itunes.
For example, I manually organize all my music and when I edit the album artist or the album artwork etc, it would show up in Itunes perfectly, but on the Itouch, nothing has been changed. This means that not only does it now show the album artwork that I set up in Itunes, but also all the artists as well. I've seen many people so far having this problem, but through all the solutions people have said, none have worked for me. Another problem is that it also mix and matches all the songs I have downloaded as well. Only the songs I purchase seem to be alright.
I have tried many things from restoring my Itouch and re-downloading music, manually re-synching my Itouch to see if the artists will show up, but to no avail, it hasn't worked.
Please help me. It's getting quite frustrating that nothing is synching since the newest ios 5.1.1 update. Thank you

The ipod touch will only sync to one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will indeed erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
Sign into your account on the computer, make sure it is authorized, then connect the ipod:

Problem with StatelessConnectionPool and Threads on Windows XP

I am trying to use a StatelessConnectionPool in a multithreaded app under Windows using 10g. The problem is that when my application is exiting and I go to terminate the StatelessConnectionPool, I get an access violation inside Environment::terminateStatlessConnectionPool.
A short program that demonstrates the problem is at the end of this post. One thing I have noticed is that by calling terminateConnection inside the thread instead of releaseConnection the problem goes away. However, performance really degrades. Thanks in advance.
