TS1453 Apple TV (1st Generation) no longer synching with iTunes

Since updating to OS X 10.7.4 I am no longer able to synch my Apple TV with iTunes on my 21.5" iMac. The Apple TV appears on the list of devices in iTunes and is connected to the internet, but it will not synch with iTunes on my computer. Also since the update I am no longer able to wirelessly print files and can only print by connecting my printer cable. Looking at the community pages I suspect the problem lies with Bonjour and this may have been affected by the update. Has anyone experienced similar problems, or can you offer help to overcome this frustrating issue?

Have you tried the following:
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.

My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
Some points:
There's enough hard drive space on both
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
Cheers
David

As per the question, really...
"My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"

It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer appears in iTunes 10.

Hi there, my Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer appears in itunes 10.
I have looked at as many of the forums as I can and I have followed all the advice to reset Apple TV, router and PC. No joy. I have then restored Apple TV, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked router ports etc. but still no joy.
The Apple TV is connected to my network just fine (I can download movie trailers etc.), my PC is connected to the network just fine (itunes store opens and I can shop). However, the Apple TV does not appear in the devices list on the LHS of the itunes window, there is no Apple TV tab in preferences and I cannot locate my library (not listed) on the Apple TV.
Basically I have tried everything I can find to try to solve this, but no joy. Please can someone help me as this is driving me crazy?

If you've reset AppleTv, have you actually set up the sync/share computer again?
If not go to Settings>Computers and add a new library - a 5 digit code will appear for you to enter in itunes.
The top computer entry in the list syncs and streams, the others only stream. If you plan to purchase anything make sure you have an entry for sync/stream as streaming only libraries may not transfer AppletV purchases.

Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation

Is it normal that Apple TV 1st generation cannot use AirTunes with Apple TV 2nd generation or Airport express 2nd generation? I want to play music synced in my ATV 1st gen. to a nymber of speakers in the house. In the list of speakers I can see Apple TV itself and my two Airport Expresses 1st generation but not my Apple TV 2nd generation or my Airport express 2nd generation. For the ATV 2nd gen. I found a solution: when I enable the Airplay setting of XBMC which is installed on my ATV 2nd generation, then AirTunes in ATV 1st gen. sees the speaker "XBMS (Apple-TV)". Itunes can in my Macbook pro can use Airplay with all my speakers, i.e. ATV 1st gen., ATV 2nd gen., Airport Express 1st gen., Airport Express 2nd gen.

Last time I checked ATV1 could not use Airtunes to send audio to an AppleTV 2 or 3 - highly annoying as you think they would have kept backwards compatibiility for audio, but it seems Airplay is more than a superset of Airtunes.

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

My ipod no longer synchs with itunes

My ipod no longer syncs with iTunes and my computer. It shows up under devices, but not in itunes. I installed an update from Apple yesterday. Could this be causing the problem (their updates have caused issues before), or is there something I need to do to get the iPod to synch with iTunes? Thanks. JP

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPhoto no longer synching with iTunes

Ever since I installed the latest Yosemite update, 10.10.3, iPhoto no longer syncs with iTunes. Once I connect my iPhone with my MacBook Pro and iTunes launches, I have confirmed that it is wanting to sync with iPhoto and not the new Photos app (which I can't stand). I have selected events I have chosen to sync and this used to be a seamless process. There must be a glitch since the update, as it freezes on step 5 of 6, importing photos. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Have you found a solution? This is most frustrating.

Have you tried the following:
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.

iPod nano (1st generation...5 years old) no longer registers in iTunes. Music is no longer a viewable option when connected to iTunes through Mac Pro.
Is it just not supported anymore?

Hmmmm...so they are recalling them. Why not just include them in the "updates?"

Is a 1st generation iPod nano compatibale with iTunes 12?

I have a 1st gen iPod Nano (lucky me, but I like it). After downloading iTunes 12 the iPod will not sync with iTunes. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. That did not work. Called Apple and they said the iPod may not be compatible with iTunes 12. So they were no help at all. You would think they would know the answer. Tried going back to an earlier version of iTunes but it will not play my library since it was created with a newer version. So it sounds like I'm pretty much screwed unless I buy a new iPod. Anyone have any suggestion.

Glad you were able to sort it out - iPod cables and USB ports can sometimes by mysterious in their variability - though in your case the symptoms suggest that a conductor may have failed inside the cable you were using. I've found that, using a selection of cables:
my 2G nano will occasionally be detected as being connected via USB 1.0 (even when connected to 2.0 ports)
my 3G nano syncs fine but steadfastly refuses to charge when connected to any of the USB ports on my main computer, though using the same cable charges happily when connected to a USB AC adapter
Such things are just sent to annoy us
On your other question, it is possible to completely replicate your library across two or more PCs. As long as the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) is duplicated as well as all your media you then have two physical copies of one logical library, with which iDevices will sync on either computer. See turingtest2's notes on Make a split library portable to see how to verify that your library is in a consistent structure to make replication easier, and Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy on one method for replication (typically using an external hard drive that also serves as a regular backup). My configuration looks like this:
where the library on my "master" system is replicated, using MS SyncToy and an external HDD, to two other systems - a secondary one at home and one in my office at work. My iDevices will sync to any of these without the "threat" of wiping their content because iTunes detects that they've been previously synced to a different library - because of the replication method used the "unique" library identifier that iTunes uses in the sync process is actually the same on all three systems.

I have purchased recent songs and within the last week my iPod is no longer synching with iTunes. I have all the recent downloads. Help!

I have purchased recent songs on iTunes within the last week and now my iPod is not synching with recently purchased songs. I have all the current updates. Help!

Hi there seanstrvln,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s an issue syncing recently purchased music from iTunes on your computer to your iPod nano. Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the process of selecting the music that is synced to your iPod and displaying music that has already been synced to the device.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
So long,

Apple TV (1st Gen) not fully syncing with iTunes 10.4

Today i discovered that after syncing my Apple TV with iTunes 10.4 after a few weeks nearly all music and movie files have vanished from ATV.
ATV has the actual firmware and was working fine till last iTunes update.
Syncing shows up about 60 music files ... instead of >10K
I have tried to delete the computer from ATV which erased all files and re-connected ATV with the controlling computer, no change.
All other devices like iPad and iPhone are still synced with all files.
Internet Access from ATV works fine, playback of all synced files works fine .... but ATV simply does not sync all files.
Any ideas ?

Yep. I am sure
I have also marked all files, rebooted Mac and ATV, nothing.

IPad No Longer Synching with iTunes

Took awhile to get the laptop to recognize the iPad as a device. It finally happened after booting it on and off.
But since then, it goes into perma-sync mode and rolls on for hours without changing the content on the iPad (new songs on iTunes and new photos added).
Strange, since I've never had a problem with my iPod before, but the iPad (granted, first generation), seems to have a lot of issues. PS -- I've booted both machines on and off, to no avail.
Anyone with other ideas?

thats whats happening with me!

IPhone no longer synchs with iTunes

For the past few days, my iPhone was syncing perfectly. My songs, calendar Apps; everything was on my iPhone. Now, since this morning, for some reason, none of my songs will sync to my iPhone from iTunes. I am wondering if it has something to do with the iCloud, since I haven't upgraded to Lion yet?

Have a look in the settings on your iPhone to see if you have enabled iCloud backup.
The phone will only backup to one or the other.
