Apple TV reverse sync with iMac

So I made the mistake of trying to use Senuti to grab some songs off of my brothers iPod. My Mac lost the connection with our AppleTV and won't recognize it and now my entire library of 4500 songs is gone. My iTunes folder only has 1000 songs on it (I think that it also got corrupted during my Senuti sync). The Apple TV still has my 4500 songs on it. I have been told that the sync is only a one-way street from Mac to AppleTV. Any suggestions to get the music from my Apple TV back to my computer?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I doubt  have any objections to people recovering data whether it be by conventional methods or unsupported ones or indeed whether anyone voids their warranty or not. As others have said there is no easy way to move data from the tv to your mac, but you can remove the HD from it and do so but it does void your warranty.
If you are in the slightest doubt about such methods I suggest approaching a data recovery practice that has experience with macs.

What is best password AP to sync with Imac (Snow Leopard)?

What is best password AP to sync with Imac (Snow Leopard)?

Here are a few analog to digital devices and approaches I have had success with:
1. Sony DA-2
2. Most Name brand Firerwire or i.Link Minidv Camcorders with Digital Pass thru feature will suffice since more often than not this feature is also included ... But read the owner's manual or check online to make certain it's included.
3. Canopus products work perfectly nearly 100% of the time and will keep the video and audio in synch much better than other devices. It can take the form of a pci card (if your mac is so equipped) and if not, then a canopus media converter box will also work (as already mentioned above):

4. Another approach I use to simply "dump" mini dv or VHS tapes to Dvd-R is a DVD Player/Recorder like the one shown below with Digital inputs. In this case (i.Link / FW)):

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

Hi, I recently got an iPad air. Singed in for new registration with cc details as I had no other option I already own an iPhone and also my husband owns one. Both have same Apple ID to sync with iCloud But after registering for iPad all free are charging

Hi, I recently got an iPad air. Singed in for new registration with cc details as I had no other option
I already own an iPhone and also my husband owns one. Both have same Apple ID to sync with iCloud
But after registering for iPad all my free apps are asking me to purchase those free apps. I have no idea what went
Wrong, please help.

You created the same Apple ID with the setup assistant on the new iPad Air - the same Apple ID used for the iTunes and App Store on your iPhone?
There is no charge for a free app regardless.

I synced with iMac itunes and got many more contacts than I want on the iPhone. How can I delete multiple contacts rather than having to do so one at a time?

I synced my iPhone with itunes and iMac and got many more contacts than I wanted on my iPhone. How can I delete quite a few of them at one time as opposed to deleting one at a time?

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

Apple TV Reverse Sync FAIL

I buy content on my Apple TV and it has started not reverse syncing that content so I can see it on my MacBook iTubes library.
I use the same iTunes account on both so they should have the same content
no matter on which I purchase on. Even when I right-click the Apple TV icon in
iTubes and select 'Trasnfer Purchases' it syncs for 2 seconds... then nothing.
This was not an issue on Tiger and iTunes 7/8 etc.
But on Snow Leopard and iTunes 9, Apple TV 3.0.1 it's annoying as ****.

This isn't good enough from Apple. This is not some small glitch, it's a FUNDAMENTAL flaw. and needs to be sorted ASAP.
AppleCare have been absolutely useless, shuttling me back and forth between iTunes support, Apple TV support and back again with nobody taking responsibility.
What does it take for these issues to get to the people they need to!

ICloud don't sync with iMac/iPad 1, iPhone 4 and MacBook

Hi,
Just experience 3 days ago that my iCloud account stop syncing with my other devices. Have otherwise worked perfectly.

Here is senario 1 : Opening iCal and is just continiues to " update " .
Here is senario 2 : Upgrading Calenders ( if I get so far ) - nothing happends - even leaving them for houres.
Here is Senario 3 : The sever responded with an error - ICal couldn't connect to p02-caldav.icloud.com.
Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try agian later.
Well im sure im connected to the internet. Talk to the Danish Apple support, they suggested it was a (apple)server problem... is it ? because then its meaning less sitting here and pulling my hair out. Then I just can hope it will get fixed soon.
DO ANYONE have the same problem or know how to fixit... ?? Im a MAC lover, geek and a woman , but this one I just cant fix.
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance
Julie

Julie,
I'm having the same problem as well. See this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/19929421#19929421
Were you ever able to come up with a fix for this? It sounds like problems at Apple's end, but it is very frustrating nevertheless since it is critical that I be able to see my wife's shared calendars with the amount of time we spend apart traveling.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Sprint 755p sync with iMac Snow Leopard using Missing Sync

I have a different problem. I have been using Palm Desktop on my Mac for several years, syncing with my Sprint Palm Treo 755p. I recently upgraded to a new iMac with Snow Leopard. I noticed the warnings that the Hot Sync was no longer going to work. I also noticed the glowing reports about Missing Sync. Based on those reports I ordered Missing Sync from Mark/Space. The first Sync went very well, except the wrong information was synced to my 755p!!!!!!! I do not use the Apple iCal or iBook as extensively as I do the Palm DeskTop addresses, calendar, notes, & memos. Unfortunately for me, the sync transferred ONLY my iCal & iBook information (approximately 80 contacts) onto my 755p instead of the contacts in my Palm Desktop (almost 5000 contacts). Reviewing the Missing Sync information, this seems to be a result of the "conduits" selected. But, I do not see the conduits to get the Palm Desktop information onto the 755p. Can anyone help?
I can not find the answer on the Mark/Space web site. I have called there support number and was very disappointed from their automated response. There was no way to reach a "live" person to discuss the problem. The automated response promised an email response in 4 days. 4 days!, is that "customer service"???? I have a MacBook Pro laptop as well. I hoped to be able to sync the computers as well, even if I had to go through the 755p to Sync the MacBook with the iMac. I ordered the "2 pack" version of Missing Sync, downloading the first copy on to my desktop computer with no problem. I was assured that the code to download the second copy onto my laptop would be sent by email. That was 7 days ago, and nothing has arrived yet! I also registered with Mark/Space to be able to access technical support and submitted the proper on line forms. No notification came back and it won't let me in! I sure am getting frustrated with Mark/Space and Missing Sync. Anybody have any other suggestions?
Regards,
Elevatorman

making an appleID to be able to access app store and itunes is required
for getting apps and using icloud (which is free)
other then that when you connect the ipad to the computer and start itunes on the computer
and click on the ipad under devices
and click on the info tab you can set it to sync calendar, contacts, mails, notes and bookmarks and the likes without having an appleID

Ipad Mini doesnt sync with IMac

I have a 4 year old Imac running 10.5.8. How do I go about updating the OS to mountain lion because my Imac does not recognize the ipad mini.

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with iDevices:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

"sent" email on iPad (Google) not syncing with iMac

Lately, when I send email on my iPad (Gmail) it does not sync with the "sent" mail on my iMac. (The "sent" box is not synched on both devices.) Funny... I get the "response" or "inbox" on both devices, but not the "sent" mail. Everything else seems to be synched.
STATUS: iPad1 with latest iOS. iMac with latest ML OS. I have both talking to iCloud.
Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem?
