    Slow Home Sharing without Internet connection?

    We have two AppleTV 3rd gen's, both set to share content from iTunes on the local network over WiFi (using a 6th gen AirPort Extreme).

    iPhone X Maintain data on phone during first connection to iTunes

    So here's the situation: My wife got a new iPhone X, but the people at the store didn't let us know that she'd have to upgrade to El Capitan to synchronize the device.

    What kind of garbage is this? This is how they treat their customers? do they have to fax a request to another department and hand carry it to get stamped or something? this is pathetic for an online service they should be ashamed. Really regret getting in the Apple ecosystem
