Why am I having trouble keeping my itunes and ATV synced?

After syncing my Itunes with Apple TV, everything, movies, music, photos, etc. shows up on my apple tv under My Movies, etc. First question is, Are my movies, etc, now on the hard drive of the apple TV? Next question, With the material on the hard drive of the ATV, do I need to have my MacBook open for syncing. What is happening is after I sync, and close my MacBook, when I go to my movies, ATV tell me I have no movies. Once I open the MacBook and go to Itunes, it syncs up again and my movies are there. Am I wrong in thinking once I have synced and the movies, music, photos should be ready to pull without my MacBook on or open.
If I take my MacBook to work, and my wife wants to watch something, how do I keep everything loaded on the ATV hard drive.
Any help is appricated, Thanks

It sounds like you have your ATV set to "stream" from you Macbook instead of sync. Check the settings (On the ATV) and make sure (If the Macbook is synced, it will show a chainlink icon.).
Once you have the ATV synced, your music, movies etc. are saved on its harddrive. Thereafter, the Macbook only needs to be on when you want to add new material.

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.

  • I am having trouble logging into itunes and redeeming cards on itunes. I enter the redeem code or go to log in and when i enter my password i get stuck in a loop. It keeps asking me for my password. Help...

    I get caught in a loop when trying to log into my account in iTunes and redeeming cards. When i enter my password i get stuck in a loop where i kept getting asked for it over and over again. The weird thing is intermittently - maybe after 20 or 30 times it lets me redeem/in. But then it has the same problem again... I tried chat and it kept dropping out. Any help would be very welcome.

    Ok, time to report the issue here:

  • Why am i having trouble updating itunes  on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Why am I having trouble updating itunes on my windows 7 (64 bit) computer?

    Doug
    Thanks for the update.
    nothing is getting installed, copied or otherwise loaded onto my computer....first the program starts to load, then it asks for my serial number, then it goes out and seems to check the serial number then it says it can't be installed then it erases everything it just spent 10 minutes loading.
    In view of the above and your prior descriptions, have you tried alternative installation files?
    If you want to give a look to that approach, please download and install the tryout files for Premiere Elements 9 from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into them during installation.
    With this route, you need to carefully carry out the web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.

    Back to my questions from post 3
    Are you getting any Shared Technologies error message any where in the installation process that is failing?
    If you follow the following path, do you find an OOBE Folder?
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files Folder
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the OOBE Folder which you rename from OOBE to OLDOOBE to disable it.
    When you are forced into a roll back for whatever installation has taken place, do you ever see a message about Shared Technologies?
    And, whether or not the program installs to any extent, does your computer have the OOBE Folder? If so, then please rename it to disable it before
    you try for another 9 install.
    Looking forward to your results.
    ATR
    Add On....Please remind me....since you purchased Premiere Elements 9, have you ever installed and used it successfully on any computer?

  • Why am I having trouble signing in to iTunes with my AppleID? I change it

    Why am I having trouble signing in to iTunes with my AppleID? Once I go through the motions to reset my password on Apple's website & go back to iTunes, I still can't sign on. Should I have two passwords? Is there something I'm missing??

    Yep. Good point.
    To completely shut it down, even in the background, double click the home button to display the row of apps. Then press and hold the Facetime app until the app displays a minus sign. then touch the minus sign.
    The app is now stopped !

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried Tools -- Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3  years without difficulty

    I'm having trouble upgrading to ITunes v12.0.1 with
    Win 7. Download progress bar stalls and eventually cancels itself. Have tried
    Tools --> Download Only, but same result. Have been using iTunes for 3+
    years without difficulty; I have lots of ram, hard drive and speed.
    Thanks for your input

    One step listed in the link to "helpful" info, was (when Iooked 30 seconds ago), to search for and download the newest version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes on Win 7 machine and was prompted to update today, 10.22.2014, and did so without a problem. Having said that, however, it looks as though the latest iTunes (12.0.1.26) is finally doing what the last version refused to do, which is to actually fully populate all my playlists on my 6, but there is a hitch: 12.0.1.26 will NOT allow you to show the sidebar unless you click on "playlists," that is, you cannot keep it open all the time.
    And, when plugging the 6 into the computer, the phone icon shows up but clicking on it does nada. What does work, for some strange reason, is clicking on the tiny icon (just under the "Store" menu link at top screen) which looks much like a tiny barrel, someone's idea of external drives, I suppose. The phone then comes up, with the list of stuff on the phone just under it where the sidebar used to be. Sync is now restricted to the lower right of the screen.
    Apparently, you will also need to update your iPhone's software as well; some friends with the 4 and 4s, however, had troubles with them after upgrading. The message from Silicon Valley (I can see Apple from my backyard, ha ha) is apparently, "keep upgrading," folks, get rid of those old phones.

    While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

    I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

  • I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external drive.  I change the kind to "original" but when I view the video from the external drive once exported, the sound and picture are distorted.

    I am having trouble keeping the quality of my video when exporting to my external hard drive.  I have tried to export from iphoto with changing kind to "original" but when I open the video from the external drive the quality is effected.  I have also tried copying the video to my desktop and then dragging and dropping onto the drive...same problem. Any suggestions?  I would like to save everything to my external drive so that I can delete all of iphoto library and then reimport to correct a few things.

    The file sizes are identical.  In the finder I did a search for all .mov files.  Then when they came up, I went through them and named each one so that they would be easier to find.  I am a new mac user and am used to windows.  I realized later that I should not have done this....with a mac files should be named within iphoto app...not finder....When I went to open the videos in iphoto, it wouldn't allow me.  I had to go into finder, copy to desktop and reimport into iphoto.  Then the videos worked again.  However, I had the problem with the poor video quality when copied to external drive before that.  Actually the first problem I had was when I copied to ext drive...videos were copying as an image...so I learned that you have to change "kind" to original before exporting....then that problem was solved...now they are videos, not images but not of a great quality.  Skips, sound and images are not in sync...etc...
