TA38571 I can STREAM, but I cannot SYNC (I don't have another library linked to my Apple TV)

I can only STREAM, but I cannot SYNC
Note: I do NOT have another itunes library linked to my Apple TV
Thanks!

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.

  • I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode.  I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account.  Help..

    I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode.  I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account.  Help..

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

  • Reformatted my computer...trying to sync my iPod Nano to recreate my library. pop-up window says I cannot sync bc I already have a library (empty on reformatted computer)..help!

    reformatted my computer (original iTunes library gone)...tried to sync with existing iPod Nano...iTunes won't let me sync from iPod to computer & says my ipod is already synced to a library

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time.  Reformatting your PC causes your iPod to think it is being synced to another iTunes library.
    If all the content that is on your Nano is still in your iTunes library, then go ahead and restore the iPod. This will allow you to connect the Nano with the new iTunes library and sync it just as before.
    Otherwise, if the content is not in your iTunes library and only on your Nano, see this older post from another forum memory Zevoneer covering a few methods and applications that can assist you with this task.

  • What can do if I can't remember my security question and don't have recovery email

    What can do if I can't remember my security question and don't have recovery email

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • I have a 2nd gen  shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

    i have a 2nd gen  shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar by default.  To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the sidebar visible on the left side of the iTunes window, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
    Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle, with the mini-dock at the shuffle end?  A USB cable that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle will not work; the connector is different.

  • TS3276 I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently renewed my password. What do I do to send emails please?

    Help! I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently changed my password. What am I doing wrong?

    You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Account Information" tab>and there input the required information for your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).  Your Internet Service Provider will have the required information to give you to input here.  Make sure that you also click at the end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server" on the arrows to get the dropdown list, and there click on "Edit SMTP Server List" and fill in the data in that resulting window also.

  • TS3276 I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail.  What could be wrong ?

    I have my email set up, I can send, but I cannot receive mail.  What could be wrong ?

    SMTP is the protocol used to send mail, where IMAP and POP are the protocols used to receive mail.  ISPs can have different servers for these protocols. 
    In this case, the specified receiving (IMAP or POP) server, or the receiving user and password credentials, are likely incorrect.
    What does the Connection Doctor diagnostic tool report?
    Mail.app's Window menu > Connection Doctor
    To check or change the settings, select Mail.app's Mail menu > Preferences... > Accounts and select the account you need to edit in the left column.
    The receiving information will be displayed for the selected Account, with either POP or IMAP shown.  Confirm with the ISP that your POP or IMAP mail settings are correct per the ISP's recommendations, as well.   And in general, IMAP is preferable to POP, if you have the option of using either of those with your ISP.

    I cannot send some emails, I can reply but I cannot start an email, an error comes up in outbox stating 'does not allow relaying' please help?

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

  • My new computer recognizes my ipod, but I cannot sync them.

    I transferred my itunes library from my old computer to my new, but cannot sync my ipod to the music library.  Instead of getting the message that my new computer does not recognise the device, the computer does recognize my ipod, but won't sync with it.  Is there a way to get the ipod to sync with the new computer or at least to move things from the itunes library to my ipod?

    iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
    But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

    If you still want to sync your photos try this instead:
    1. Go to the Pictures folder in the Finder window (Pictures usually appears under Favorites in the sidebar of the Finder window)
    2. **Locate the iPhoto Library file and Right click on the file and select Show Package Contents.
    3. Locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete it.
    4. Try the sync process again, it should work.
    ** Sometimes the iPod Photo Cache folder is simply in the Pictures folder and step 2 is not necessary
