Extracting Movie Files from Apple TV

I am going on vacation and wanted to take some of my movies that I bought and directly downloaded to Apple TV on my laptop. However, in my iTunes I am not able to access these files even when iTunes is synced with Apple TV. Any suggestions as to how I might access these files? When I right click on the Apple TV icon in iTunes all I get is "Turn Streaming Off" and left clicking only shows the Apple TV stats and photo syncing options.
Is it possible to access the downloads elsewhere?

I've seen other people say that once they've moved the media folder to an external drive it's stopped transferring purchases from iTunes though this is only in recent months.

It may be a bug.
While you can have the whole of your itunes folder including the databaxse files and media on the external, I tend to keep it on the internal drive.
I set iTunes Preferences not to copy added media to the iTunes folder, so that the database just references file locations. On various externals I have groupings of media (I should consolidate them all) and drag and drop to iTunes which adds them to the library without copying the files.
With purchases, I locate them via itunes then copy them off to the external location manually, then delete the entry/files via itunes to free up internal space. Next I re-add the media from the external with drag and drop.
Admittedly this approach is a bit of a chore, but generally works for me, especially as I store different media on different drives.
I previously created a new iTunes folder/library on an external drive (database/artwork/media files and all) using option key when opening iTunes. From memory any purchases would transfer ok, but it was some time ago, and I've only seen reports like your in last 6-12 months.
I suspect it's a bug in iTunes relating to the storage path for AppleTV reverse transfers, but if it doesn't happen to everyone there may be some unique features for those affected.

    The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files).  Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac.  You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
    Alain

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf
    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
    To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.
    Model Name:          Mac Pro

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • What's the best way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my 2014 MBP?

    What’s a good way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my MBP?
    I prefer to do graphic work on my 21-inch iMac (2012 version). But when I travel I need to copy files to my 2014 MBP. I learned that my 2012 iMac is too old for use of AirDrop, so I’m copying and moving files with a flash drive. That seems slow and clumsy. Is there a better way?

    Target Disk Mode would provide a direct connection between the two Macs:

    Nothing simpler than that is available.

    It's likely that the drive is malfunctioning or that there is an internal hardware fault, but to confirm, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook Pro won't let me move files to HD without authentication. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them.

    My 2013 Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.5 won't let me move files to the HD without authentication. So I have to keep putting my password in. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them. This just suddenly happened last night. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
    Good luck,

  • How do i move files from pc to icloud?

    I have 2 questions, first of all how do I move files from my PC to icloud?  Secondly how do I access icloud from my PC so I can view and grab files in case I need them?  I have about 7 GB of photos and videos from my iphone4 that I want to move to icloud and I just bought 100GB of icloud storage so I can store stuff on the cloud.  I am sorry for the newbie question.

    What is it then? How and what exactly do i use it for? My i pad says there is not enough storage available so i have purchased more in i cloud. I now want to save some TV programmes and films to i cloud to free up some space but don't know how to... When you are told there is not enough space to download you are prompted to go to settings and to purchase more storage - so it is not unreasonable to assume that this will solve the problem - or am I missing something here? Or is this just a way for apple to get money out of me?
    If this is not what it is meant for then what is it meant for? Is it just space to back up files to? If so then surely what i need is stored there - so i can delete the TV programmes from my i pad and grab them from i cloud later?
    Am rather perplexed...

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.
    Ciao.

  • Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

    I have managed to leverage a powerful
    forfiles command line utility with the mighty
    7z compression program.
    Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
    archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
    @echo off
    rem extract_nested_archives.bat
    move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
    md %2
    7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
    del "%TMP%"\%2
    for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
    ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
    "7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
    The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
    c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
    Best regards, 0x000000AF

    Incredibly useful!  Thank you so much.  I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
    First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter.  The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
    break anything.  The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable.  Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
    SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    Set SOURCE=%1
    For %%Z in (!source!) do (
    set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
    set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
    Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
    %2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
    This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
    C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
    Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable.  So I replaced
    7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
    I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
    Here is my full script now.  Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
    @echo off
    Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    Set source=%1
    For %%Z in (!source!) do (
    set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
    set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
    move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
    md "%FILENAME%"
    "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
    DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
    for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
    forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

  • Cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else

    Help -- I cant move files from previous saved CD to desktop or anyplace else
    I don't know when this started but it was two days ago I noticed this. I have changed all the permissions in info to allow me to have read write access to all my hardrives(2) which are both segmented. May have started when I put in the second HD and now I have three systems installed.
    I did erase the com.apple.recentitems.plist -- which did not do anything.
    I was able to send a copy of the file from my CD via iCHat with no problem.
    Originally it would not allow me to move any files even on the harddrives. Not it seem related to the CD's

    this was related to Leopard refusing to give me administrative rights

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.
