Can I copy the content of my Apple TV to a new Mac?

I have lost my entire iTunes library from a house fire, but I have my Apple TV with over 14,000 songs on it. Most from my also lost cd collection.
Can I copy the content of my Apple TV to my new Mac? If so, how

Not without doing things that void the warranty. You can always disassemble it, put the hard drive into an enclosure and copy things off it that way. Not for the faint of heart.

  • I have two computers and one iphone, one computer and the iphone are synchonized but how can I copy the contents to the second computer?

    I have two computers (1 PC and 1 iMac) and one iphone, the PC and the iphone are synchronized but I cannot copy or sync the contents to the iMac. How can I copy the contents? Can I connect the PC to the iMac so that I can use the PC as a hard-disk? Will that affect the system to work smoothly?
    Thanks

  • Can I copy the contents of a dvd to the hard drive?

    How can I copy the contents of my dvd to the hard drive? It is from a home movie that was transferred onto a DVD. I would like to send it via e-mail. is this possible?
    thanks

    You need to convert it first to a smaller file.  You can't typically send several gigabytes of video via email.  You could copy the contents of the DVD to your mobile me account by making a Disk Image of the DVD using the Disk Utility.  A typical DVD is 4.7 gigabytes, so the coping will take over night.  If you just want people to view the DVD movie, you might want to rip it from the DVD and put it on Youtube as a private video.  I would recommend doing this with DVDxDV.  It can break up a long video into multiple parts and upload it to Youtube. 

  • How can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
    You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password.

  • Can you copy the contents of an iPod onto a new PC?

    A friend of mine has an iPod and is considering buying a new PC. Because of circumstances he cannot get his library from his old PC. Is it possible for him to copy the contents of his iPod onto new PC to create a new library?

    David,
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)

    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    You need at least three sets of your music:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • AppleTV 1st Gen has my entire music library loaded however my iTunes library was lost when my external hard crashed.  My question is can I copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac?

    AppleTV 1st Gen -
    I have a rather complex music/movie library system, as well as the ability to listen/watch the content throughout my house thanks to Control4 - extra vegetables and other various 3rd party equipment.  I moved my entire music library onto an external hard drive to free up space on my iMac...then my dog got tangled in the cord and pulled the external drive from my desk to the floor destroying the hard drive...(yes I've already attempted to have the content recovered by specialists- no such luck.
    My question is... Is it possible to copy the content from the AppleTV 1st Gen back into my iTunes on my iMac?  If so step by step directions would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks to all
    Tom

    Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

  • Why Apple does not offer software to copy the content of my iPod Touch to my new computer?

    Hi, I got a new laptop. And I want the content of my iPod to copy to iTune on my new laptop. Is there Apple software to perform this function? I do find many third party software to do this function, but I have to pay that software. Can you help?

    You don't need to purchase additional software. This link may help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • How can I copy the contents of an address book group

    Does anyone know how I can copy the entire contents of an Address Book group and paste the results into an e-mail to send to others? When I select the group and then the "copy" tool, it copies only the first address in the group. If I select "select all", it selects all e-mail addresses everywhere, not just the ones in the intended group.

    He did not want to add them all to his address book; he simply wanted to have my long list of staff email addresses without having to type it or create it himself, like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. We used to use an email application called Eudora which allowed you to copy and paste group lists as though they were just text characters. With Mail (and Address Book), everything is connected to everything else and a group list is actually a set of flagged contacts from your "All Contacts" list.

  • I can't see the content of my apple tv-just pictures

    Hi-I have a Apple TV (1st generation). When I go under devices in Itunes and I try to explore its content I can't see anything but pictures and settings. But even when I go in settings there is nothing I can do. Bottom line I can't see the hard disk usage what's in the apple tv etc etc...it's not the firs time that happens to me but other times it went right quickly

    Try force closing Mail: double-tap the Home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, finish by tapping the Home button.  Open Mail again and see if it's fixed now.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods available for copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.  Once you have successfully done that, you can safely choose the Erase and Sync option.

  • How can I control the content shown on Apple TV that reflects whats on my computer or what I've bought on iTunes? There are some pilot TV shows that I'd rather have disappear.

    I love my new Apple TV but after I have viewed some shows that I don't want to show on the menu, How do I remove them from my menu? I can't find any method on iTunes or on the menu on the Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, the Apple TV shows everything on your iTunes library.

  • HT204053 The music I have on iTunes is all from my CDs. Can I copy the contents of my iTunes music between computers/pads/phones?

    I'm starting to buy e-books, and e-magazines/newspapers.  So far they are scattered about on my Air/Pads/Phone. They come in a variety of formats. iTunes, Kindle, PDF, and more. There are also some I want that will need an Android machine to download.
    I need to keep track of all these, preferably in one place (the iCloud?). I would prefer them all to be in the same format; iTunes or PDF, preferably, but anything reasonable considered. BTW I use EndNote - could I store them in there?
    Thanx in advance.
