How to Import, Sync or Stream your content to Apple TV
This article explains different ways to sync and stream content to your Apple TV
First of all you need to set up an account in iTunes so that you can purchase movies, TV shows, Music and other content from the iTunes Store. They’re automatically downloaded to the iTunes library on your computer. If you already have an Apple account, or if you have an America Online (AOL), use that account to sign in to the iTunes Store and buy content.
Now let's see the ways to sync and stream content to your Apple TV.
The following ways will help you adding movies, TV shows, music, and other content to Apple TV.

Syncing is an easy way to add content to Apple TV. By default, iTunes automatically syncs your content to Apple TV. 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.
Now you can follow the following steps to sync the content.
