Can I move content from my Apple TV to a different comp?

I bought my parents an Apple TV years ago and uploaded a bunch of photos and movies for them from the ibook I had back then. I've since moved out and sold the ibook. They now want to upload more stuff from there PC onto the hard drive of the Apple tv. Is there a way to sync a new computer without deleting everything that's on the Apple tv? Or anyway of getting the files off of the Apple tv?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
Unfortunately you cannot do this, if you sync with a new computer all the original content will be deleted.
You could set up their computer as a secondary library though which would let them stream from their PC, whilst maintaining the primary library.

  • HT1386 Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Can I move music from one apple account to another?

    Typically not.  Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes.  Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2.  Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does.  So that's a problem.

  • Can I move games from one iPhone to Another on different iTunes accounts?

    We bought my daughter an iPhone 5C for christmas.    Up until now she has been sharing my iTunes account as she was using my old phone.
    This has meant that when she or I bought a new app, it automatically showed up on the others phone. (I know that this can be turned off)   We decided that we would create a new iTunes account for her when we got the new phone.
    I just assumed that this would mean we would need to repurchase  all her Apps.  She is a bit sad about this as it means rebuilding all her little Sims worlds and losing her high scores etc. 
    So, is there anyway that the Apps or at least the games content from her old phone can be transferred to the new one even though they are now on different iTunes accounts?  We share the same iCloud (so I can track here phone from mine)
    I don't think so - but she is adamant that it can be done - so I thought I would check.
    Thanks
    Craig

    It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

  • How to move content from one Apple ID to another?

    When I first started with Apple, I shared an Apple ID with my dad because I only had an iPod. Now that I have an iPhone, iPad, and Mac, I need to have my own Apple ID. Is there a way to move everything currently on my phone (music, sms messages, contacts, photos) to my new Apple ID? I have looked in the threads and I know this question has been asked before, but none of the answers really made complete sense to me....so dumb it down a little? Thank you in advance!

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2689 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902 for information on sharing calendars and photos through iCloud.  Contacts are not included in the sharing from one ID to another.

    Yes, just use Creative Mediasource to rip the tracks from your smaller player to your PC music library, and then connect your larger player to the USB and drag these tracks to this player.

  • HT201209 Can I move money from one Apple ID to another?

    I'm hoping I can somehow transfer my iTunes gift card money!

    Only by asking the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

  • How Can I Remove Purchased Content from my Apple TV?

    I have content that I purchased through iTunes and it's stored on my Apple TV but I'm selling it so I need to move that content to one of my Macs. I can't find any instructions on how to do it. Can anyone help me out? It's the 40GB model running the latest software and it's connected to my Wi-Fi network. Thanks.

    Content purchased on ATV should automatically sync to a computer you connected it with. If you have not alreday done so, in ATV go to Settings -> Computer. Select the computer that has your iTunes library, follow the instructions and sync. Quickly disable syncing of music, photos, movies etc. so that you dont move content from iTunes to ATV. The purchases on your ATV will sync back to your iTunes anyway.
    If you already have a computer connected to your ATV, everything should have synced alreday. You then need to discionnect your iTunes from your ATV (Settings -> Computers) and this will automatically erase your ATV.

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

    I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxes in the far left column. I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail. Any suggestions for steps I can take short of going to genius bar?

    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • HT200109 Can rental movies be watched via Apple TV from an iPad 2?

  • How can I move pictures from my computer to my ipad?

    can i move pics from a non apple computer to my ipad?  If so, how?

    Yes - there are instructions on how to sync them via iTunes here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . As only the contents of the last photo sync remain on the iPad, you need to sync all the photos that you want in one go, so if you want to sync multiple folders they will need to be directly off the same parent folder so that they can be selected together. Not including a folder in a subsequent sync is the way that you delete that folder/album from teh iPad.
    You can also use third-party apps which can transfer photos via your wifi network to and from your computer (the photos will only go into the camera roll/saved photos album so you have less control in terms of destination than with syncing) e.g. Simple Transfer, which also has a free 'lite' version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer

  • I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library.  How can I move them from the iPod to the library?

    I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library.  How can I move them from the iPod to the library?

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.
