Why can I only sync when my Apple TV is showing on the TV

Does anyone else have this problem?
I can only sync my PC to the Apple TV when either my Apple TV is actually showing on the TV screen or the TV is OFF.
I am connected via WiFi and Sync speed is good when it is working but why do I have to wait for the TV to be free. I have kids so it has to be either very late or I have to kick them off (no chance)???

Your tv sounds as though it isn't entirely disconnecting the HDMI to the tv when switched to another source and causing it some problems. Whilst I can't suggest a fix, this isn't usual behaviour.

Why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

Why would you need to sync any more than just 1? What exactly is happening? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.
However, it sounds like it may be more of an Audible issue, in which case you should contact Audible's support.

Why can I only sync my iPhone on one computer???

I was just wondering why I can only sync music onto my iPhone from one computer?? and not multiple like you can with the iPods?? I'm getting really frustrated because i have music on my home computer and 2 other laptops!

I am unsure on how I interpret the rule wrong, but here is a copy of the actual rule which I made a link to in my previous post.
Found under, http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/au/terms.html#SERVICE, 10. Purchase or Rental of iTunes Content, Usage Rule (iii).
"(iii) Your license of Products as authorised hereunder permits you to use the Products on five iTunes-authorised devices at any time, except in the case of Movie Rentals, as described below."
Also under, http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/au/terms.html#APPS, 9. USE OF PRODUCTS AND THE SERVICE, Usage rule (iii).
"(iii) You shall be able to store Products on five iTunes-authorized devices at any time."
When I read this, I understand it that the word Products refers to content on iTunes. But it could possibly interpreted differently.

Why can't I sync my phone with my computer after both the ios7 and Itunes 11.1 updates?

I just recently purchased the new iPhone 5s and have been very happy with it. At the same time I updated my itunes to the newest version 11.1.0.126.
Since the initial syncing, I have been unable to complete the syncing process. It progresses all the way through stalls out on step 5 "Downloading Safe Safari Browising Data". Is there anything i can do to fix this issue?

Which is precisely why I am frustrated with how proprietary Apple is. No matter how much people try to spout out about the superiority of Apple products, my iPhone should be able to grab music from my laptop and my PC at home, both being authorized already. I've already tried home sharing. I didn't buy the iPhone outright, it was provided to me through work. For all the Apple and Mac only fans, I feel this is Apple's way of trying to make me purchase music I have already bought on CD through iTunes. Whatever happened to ease of use? Customer friendly applications? Anyone else dislike how hard it is to add artwork to an album in iTunes after you load a CD and it doesn't recognize it? Track by track? How about offering one simple, convenient copy and paste to album like in Windows? Oh, yeah, so you give up and buy it again in iTunes. I do like the interface on the iPhone or iPod once things are working properly, however the hoops you jump through are ridiculous. I want to load music off of my laptop, after having most of my library on another PC, and it won't work without deleting the library off of the phone. What is the point of authorizing up to 5 computers if you can't use your music from those different machines? There, I'm getting off of my soap box now.

TS2972 Why can you only share photos to Apple TV and not iPad?

This seems like a development oversight on Apple's part. All I want to do is view my iPhoto library on my iPad using Home Sharing, the same way someone with Apple TV can view their photo library on their TV. When will this functionality be coming?

This is a user forum, no one here can speak to any updates. You can currently have your Photo stream for shots you want to appear on all devices.

Why can I only sync SD version of movie to iPhone 4?

A few days ago, I bought The Lion King (HD) from the iTunes store app on iPhone 4. I was almost certain I had enough space, but when I checked my phone the next morning, the download stopped prematurely due to not having enough space. So I had to then restore my phone in order to erase the large download, which I could not use.
After the restore, I started to download the movie on iTunes. I got the HD and SD version. After multiple fails at downloading the HD version, due to a faulty internet connection, I was forced to download the SD before I left for my trip. Now, I have both versions on iTunes.
But, when I try to sync the movie to my iPhone, it automatically syncs in SD form. I do not have the "Prefer SD videos" box checked. I would like to put the HD version on my iPhone 4, and from reading for info on the subject, I should be able to watch it on my phone; I did originally purchase it from my iPhone, just saying..
But, I just need to know if theres a way to fix this problem.

I view the regular facebook site all the time, I just type facebook.com into safari instead of m.facebook.com.
It's possible it may be less your issue and more how the site is coded - as in forcing people to their mobile side instead of the regular one.

When I share a link (URL) only Apple computers receive the link. Others such as PCs and Blackberries get the message, but the field which should have the link is blank. Is this normal? Why can I only send to Apple machines?

when I "share a link" (URL) using the pulldown menu in Safari, the email goes to all addresses I indicate, but only Apple computers receive the link. Others such as PCs and Blackberries get the message, but the field which should have the link is blank. Is this normal? Why can I only send to Apple machines?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

Why can I only see my purchased songs and not my entire library when I use an ipad?

Why can I only access my 'purchased' songs when I sign into an ipad with my AppleID. How can I access my entire itunes library (purchased, playlists and downloaded music)?

If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

That means you didn't do it properly. Use that article, make sure you do see those tracks in itunes and they do not have clouds next to them before you sync.

Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)

Why can't I sync videos in my iPhoto library to Apple TV (1st generation)?

If it's already in iTunes, you can reconver the video to an even more friendly iTunes format using iTunes' built in converter. Highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the menu bar.
When the video(s) has/have finished converting, configure them to sync to your iPod.

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
thanks,
Simon

First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
If it is an email address then:
Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries. Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing.
