Downloading photos OFF Apple TV

I have a question that might seem a little odd. I was trying to install windows on my mac earlier this week. To make a long story short all my data was erased, including my photos. BUT, I still have all of my photos on my iPod and my Apple TV. I want to somehow get these photos off my iPod or ATV and restore them to my mac. Of course any ideas or suggestions are more than appreciated.

I don't have a video iPod but I think you stand more chance with that unless you're prepared to dismantle or hack AppleTv.
There is software that lets you access the ipod which might work eg Red Chair Software's Anapod:

Runs on Windows - did you install that ok?

Going by your profile your Mac has v10.5.8 installed. That is the most recent version available for Leopard.
You may be able to upgrade to v10.6 Snow Leopard > Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Snow Leopard is available for purchase from the Apple online store > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
With Snow Leopard installed, iTunes would be updated for you.

I am trying to download photos off my IPhone as the "Cloud" tells me I have run out of storage space. I have connected my phone to IPhoto on my Mac but when I clik on Import nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to download photos off my old LG phone into iPhoto but it won't connect via Bluetooth

I'm trying to download photos off my old LG EV3 via Bluetooth into iPhoto. It shows that the device is paired to my MacBook, however, when I try to connect the phone it shows that it's connected for only a few seconds but then quickly disconnects and the phone says "No Services Found." I also tried to change the connection for this phone (it's currently set-up as a Dial-Up modem connection via Verizon but the phone is no longer connected to Verizon) but it apparently will not let me do that. Any ideas?

COntact LG support for support on their phone - this does not involve iPhoto for the Mac in any way

Downloading photos OFF my ipod or Apple TV

I have a question that might seem a little odd. I was trying to install windows on my mac earlier this week. To make a long story short all my data was erased, including my photos. BUT, I still have all of my photos on my iPod and my Apple TV. I want to somehow get these photos off my iPod or ATV and restore them to my mac.

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Copy. (Windows only)
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.
As for recovering them from your ATV, I have no idea.

How do I not automatically download photos in Apple Mail?

How do I not autmatically download photos when I open Apple Mail. I lve on a boat and internet by the satellite gets expensive. I would like to know how to turn off automatic photo downloads.

Check with your email provider. Blocking images is a function they usually can provide.
Example from Verizon Mail Setup:

External Hard Drive has failed!! How do I get a copy of my Photos off Apple

My Western Digital external hards drive has failed. None of the data can be recovered. I basically held my music & photo collection. Most off my music is still on my iMac so no problem there. However, I has moved my entire photo collection onto the External Hard Drive. The only way I can recover it is to copy the photos that I (fortunately) copied onto my Apple TV. The question is how Do I do this?
There must be some whizzy piece of software out there that can do the job?

I cannot delete photos off Apple TV

Please help. There are some photos which I do not want showing on my Apple TV. I have deleted them off iPhoto and no longer can see them on my mac, however, when I have the photos showing on Apple TV they still appear. Please can anyone tell me what I can do?

Hello cj1836,
You may need to disable Photo Sharing for the Apple TV, then remove your iPod Photo Cache from within the iPhoto Library before re-enabling Photo Sharing.

Unable to download photos to Apple Store

unable to upload photos to AppleStore. Keeps stating there is an error. I have tried a lot of things but no success!

Please explain with some detail - the Apple store is either the online store for computers, etc. or the app store is where you purchase software. You usually do not upload photos to the store.

How do you download photos from Apple TV back to a mac

I had to clear my hard drive and lost all my photos however they are stored on my apple TV. Does anyone know how to get them back onto Iphoto from the apple TV?

There is no easy procedure to do this.
• You can take our the ATV's hard drive, connect it to a computer, and read the data (thereby voiding your warranty).
• You can try to "hack" the software of the ATV to access the disk. A commercial offer of a device that promises to do this just appeared (look at the thread next to yours), but nobody in this forum has yet tested it, so I certainly am not recommending it. If it works, it's probably the cheapest option if you're not technically savvy.

Getting photos from Apple TV back to iPhoto

I have just loaded all my photos to Apple TV, a family member accidentally erased my entire iPhoto album from my iMac and from the TRASH, about 1,500 pics. I have disabled the sync on my Apple TV so I would not loose them on my Apple TV, is there a way I can get the photos off Apple TV or download them so I can get them back onto my iMac?
Thank you in advance for the help

That kind of depends on whether or not the links to the photos still exists in itunes. I know that with movies and tv shows I can copy the files to an external HDD for backup and delete them from the itunes/Movies folder but not deleting the items from the itunes library from within the application. After syncing the movies and shows on Apple TV are still intact. Not sure if photos work the same way.
You will not be able to get the photos off the ATV without cracking the case but they are still there to be viewed. If the data is really important I wouldn't hesitate to open the box and void the warranty. Another apple TV is a bargain compared to losing one of a kind data. Who says it wouldn't work once you put it back together?

Hi MrRhea,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
Best regards,
Joe

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive. I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either. I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere. I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
Hope this helps
