When apple tv syncs with itunes the media disappears from the apple tv

evrytime i purchase something through the apple tv i can play it on my tv until it syncs with itunes. after the sync the media just transfers over to my computer. how can I leave the stuff I buy in apple tv stay in the apple tv. and all of those other purchases that transfered into itunes how can I get them back on the apple tv?

Someone above mentioned this, and the answer is to make sure you're either set in iTunes to sync ALL episodes of your shows, or if you're set for ALL UNWATCHED, as I was, mark the episodes that were transferred to iTunes "New", then re-sync. Poof, they will all be copied back to ATV, where they will remain until you have watched them, even with iTunes shut down. I wrestled with this problem for 24 hours before it occurred to me.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

IPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes

iPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes.
Since IOS 8, my iPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes on my Mac. It will start running the backup and reboot, it will reboot many times when updating packages. It can take 12 hours to finish a sync with the mac. The phone gets hot during this. I keep deleting more and more pictures and apps, hoping that maybe it doesn't have enough space, but iTunes shows I have 4.9 Gbytes free, which I think should be enough. I am on IOS 8.0.2, I thought maybe I would try to upgrade to the latest IOS today, but I am worried that I will end up with a non working phone.
Is anyone else having these problems?

Well thats Od... I have never experienced that problem.. Maybe you should try to backup your phone and then wipe it by going to Settings<General<Reset

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

ITunes Festival app disappeared from my Apple TV menu screen...

My iTunes Festival app disappeared from my Apple TV menu screen, does anyone know how to bring it back again?
I restarted my Apple TV and everything but nothing is happening... please help!

I may be wrong but I suspect the festival was a limited time free extra not directly advertised on the AppleTV page. I agree it's a shame it's gone - I browsed it and there were a few artists I might have watched who were not available as they had not played yet.
There may well be licensing/contractual limitations for how long Apple can broadcast the material set up by the music studios and artists.
If things are added for free temporarily it would be nice if they gave some kind of expiration date warning.
Send some feedback to Apple:

I have a FreeAgent Goflex drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting

I have a FreeAgent GoFlex backup drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting the firewire. This also happens when I use the USB connection as well. Thanks

Did you use any of the "sleep" drivers supplied? I have found it best to just totally reformat/erase the drives and let the OS handle them.

Error message when trying to Sync with itunes

Hi
I seem to get error messages when I try to sync with itunes. I have the iphone 3G. Also all my music and videos seem to have carried across, all except one, it's very odd. Latest error message reads:
"itunes could not connect with the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)."
I have also an error message saying it cannot sync and error message number 0050.
Any clues?

"itunes could not connect with the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)."
This error is associated with ringtones, are you trying to sync a ringtone, purchase a ringtone...need more info...
I have also an error message saying it cannot sync and error message number 0050.
Are you on Windows XP? Is this the error message...iTunes displays -50 error message? If so, follow these directions:

Ipod won't sync with itunes, wiped itself, won't leave apple logo screen

I think the problem showed up after I plugged my ipod classic into a Belkin (I think) ipod speaker dock. The next time I plugged it into my computer, it wouldn't sync with itunes. When there's no ipod plugged into the computer, itunes opens fine, but when I plug my ipod in, itunes will open then freeze. Unplugging my ipod makes itunes go back to normal, but with an error message that I can't sync my ipod. After going through that a few times this morning, I tried doing the middle button+menu reset, which left it stuck at the apple logo for around 15 minutes. It eventually took me to the language select screen, where I saw that all my songs and podcasts had been wiped from the drive. However, when I hover over the "settings" menu option, it says I only have 40 gigs free, which is the amount I had when I still had all my data on the ipod. I've also tried plugging it into my computer and formatting it through windows, but that doesn't work either. Do I have any options here? Thanks in advance

Tried most of these (including swapping out cords in dfferent ports) with no luck. I tried to restore it as well but it won't let me do that either. The hard drive is working to the point where the ipod works normally with the exception of the syncing issue. I have also run the diagnostic and everyting is fine until the last one, the device sync test. It is able to see the ipod earlier in the diagnostics.

TS1538 when trying to sync with itunes my only option is restore

when I try to get my music onto my iphone 4s the only option I get in itunes is restore. I was able to transfer everything else.....any ideas?

This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
(Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
1) Start iTunes.
2) Connect phone via USB.
3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
6) Tap on Sync now.
The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
Good luck!
