There are two ways to get iTunes content from your computer to Apple TV—syncing and streaming. This document explains the differences between syncing and streaming on Apple TV with software version 1.x.
Sync or Stream to Apple TV
The setup for syncing or streaming always starts with Apple TV and finishes with iTunes.
1. On Apple TV’s main menu select Sources.
- to Stream: select Connect to New iTunes
or- to Sync: select Syncing
2. Apple TV will generate a unique passcode for either function. Make a note of the pass code.
# Go to iTunes, select Apple TV from the Devices list.
Enter the passcode.
iTunes will confirm if the passcode was accepted. From this screen, you are given the option to rename your Apple TV (the name will appear under Devices in iTunes). Click OK.
Turning off Syncing
At any time you can turn off syncing and switch to streaming only:
1. From Apple TV’s main menu, select Sources.
2. Select Syncing > Turn Off Syncing.
3. Press Menu to go back to the Sources menu.
4. Select Connect to New iTunes, and a new passcode will be generated. Make a note of the passcode.
5. Go back to iTunes select Apple TV from the devices list.
6. Enter the new passcode. iTunes will confirm the passcode is accepted.
7. Click OK.
8. Go back to Apple TV and select Sources from the main menu.
9. Select your iTunes Library to browse the content.
