How do I get shows from my DVR onto my computer?

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I have an iMac 27" with Final Cut Express, and I want to know what I need to upload shows from my DVR to my computer.

First you need an available video & audio out from your DVR. What does it have? Composite, S-video, Component, HDMI ?
Second, you will need a conversion device depending on the kind of a/v out your DVR has.
Third, what do you intend to do with the video once it's on your iMac? Just watch it, or do editing, burn DVDs, etc?
Also understand that your cable vendor may have Terms of Use that disallow this kind of DVR usage; and there could be encryption that blocks such copying anyway. Better check first.

How can I get songs from my iPod onto my computer?

I had to re-install windows on my computer about a week ago. I was under the impression that I could get my music and playlists back just by pluging my iPod into my computer and then i thought the ipod would snyc with itunes and put all of my music back onto the computer along with my playlists. However, i can't seem to get this to work... any help? I think i've heard of ways to just rip the music off, but what i would really like are the playlists that i had as well...

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I synced my iPhone with iTunes, and it deleted all my music on my computer and my iPhone except for what I'd purchased using the iPhone. The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone?

The rest of my music is still on my iPad, so how do I get it from my iPad to the computer, and back on my phone? All my music is sitting there safely on my iPad, but whenever I try to sync it with my computer the only option I get is to wipe the iPad and replace it with the files on the computer---which is only a fraction of what I had originally. How do I fix this?? It even deleted my playlists, and I now only have some 200 songs left out of what used to be over 1000!

It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

How do I get pictures from my GSIII to my computer?

if you have a Windows computer you need to have Windows Media Player 11 installed to "see" your S3's directories/folders when you attach it via USB .. this drove me crazy for a week trying to figure out as NO WHERE in the tutorials does it mention you need, at least for Windows XP, to install the latest WindowsMediaPlayer for Windows to recognize an Android phone and see it's files and folders
You'll find your pictures in the Gallery folder as I recall .. you can simply copy or cut them into your computer as if the S3 were another connected computer (which it is )

I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file. I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer? Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install? Finally which operating system are you using?

How can I copy a TV show from HM DVR to my computer?

Is there any way to get a show off and watch it on my computer. I used to be able to do it with my TIVO and there are many different outputs on the HMDVR (USB, ESATA, Firewire, etc).
I thought maybe Media Manager would allow me to transfer video files to my computer but it doesn't.
Thanks for any help.

With the Motorola DVR offered by FiOS, you can use a PC to record content from local channels via Firewire, as it is played. Instructions for that can be found this AVS thread. Note this only works for the local (including locals in HD) and public interest channels on FiOS; this does not work for any FiOS cable channels.
If you want to copy a recording from a cable channel using the Motorola DVR, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way -- connect the composite outputs from the DVR to your DVD recorder (or computer), press play on the DVR, and then press record on the DVD recorder (computer).
The TivoHD is still the only standalone DVR that lets you download SD and HD recordings to your computer over your home network, as seen in the screenshot below.
Direct recording downloads over your home network using a standard web browser. Use 'tivo' as the login and your TiVo's media access key as the password.

On itunes? OR externally? Because I did back them up on itunes and I think I do have an external backup, I just wanted to know whether it was possible for me to recover them from itunes as they still show up in my purchase history.
Only in the U.S.
This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is very important.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
Your purchase history is only a list of your purchases. There are no files there.

How do I get photos from iPhoto to my new computer?

I have a new MacBook Pro and I am using the copy-paste method of getting data from my exteranl hard drive to the new computer. I am doing this rather than using the migration assistant to avoid putting any corrupt files on the new MacBook Pro. My problem is that I have many photos in iPhoto on my old MacBook Pro that I would like to transfer to the new one and I can not figure out how to do this. Any advice on a step by step process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
Phillijr

If you do not want to use Migration Assistant, email the photos to your new computer. Use Transfer Big Files. It's free up to 1GB.
