Adding Movies, TV Shows, and Music

You can set up iTunes to add content to Apple TV in the following ways:

ÂAutomatically sync content

ÂSync selected content

ÂStream content

Automatically Syncing Content

Syncing is the simplest way to add content to Apple TV. Syncing copies content from your iTunes library and stores it on Apple TV. By default, iTunes automatically syncs your content to Apple TV. Your computer doesn’t have to be on to view content you sync to Apple TV. If you have a slow network, syncing is recommended.

Content is synced to Apple TV in this order:

ÂMovies

ÂTV shows

ÂMusic

ÂPodcasts

ÂPhotos

If your movies and TV shows fill Apple TV, for example, your music, podcasts, or photos are not added. Content is removed from Apple TV in reverse order, as needed. Syncing a new movie might result in photos and podcasts being removed from Apple TV.
