Syncing Selected Content

Setting iTunes to sync selected content to Apple TV is useful if you have more content

in your iTunes library than fits on Apple TV. Only the content you specify is synced to

Apple TV. You can sync your most recent movie purchases or only movies you haven’t

watched, or create an iTunes playlist and sync that playlist.

To set iTunes to sync unwatched content:

1

On your computer, open iTunes and select Apple TV in the Devices list.

2

Click a tab, for example, Movies.

Select “Sync: … unwatched movies” and choose the number you want from

the pop-up menu.

Click Apply.
