Appe TV synching, but not streaming

do you want to change from sync to stream or do you want it to stream
the sutff you dont have room for ?

you can set it to hide nonsycn items if you dont see it on appletv that could be the
problem

if you want to change to stream of the whole thing you need to add it as shared lib rather them primary lib

....I'd like I tunes to just stream to Apple TV.

A secondary library will stream only, to set up a secondary library you will need to unpair your primary library first (select 'settings/computers/ your library') and then select 'settings/computers/connect to shared library'

However before you do that you can stream everything but photos from a primary library and there are significant advantages to having a primary library. Your primary library will stream everything that isn't synced and you can actually tell it to sync nothing, in which case everything will be streamed.

If your tv is only showing that which you have synced then you most likely have the 'Show only synced items...' box checked under the summary tab.

(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

....How do I delete stuff from the Apple TV hard drive?

Everything will be deleted if you unpair your primary library, however if you intend to keep your primary library, simply deselect the items you no longer want synced and the next time you sync they will be deleted from the tv.

Winston, you said above: "Your primary library will stream everything that isn't synced"

This is +exactly what I want,+ but I'm having a really tough time figuring out how to achieve this.

I have a ton of music and movies- way to much to fit on the hard drive inside the Apple TV.

I would like to choose specific items to sync, and I'd like *all media that is not synced to be available via streaming.* From what I've read on these boards this is possible, but I can't seem to get it to work on my Apple TV.

I would appreciate any advice you can offer! Thanks in advance.
