How do I transfer purchased TV shows to computer.

Hello, I have an Apple TV and I have purchased lots of TV shows. The Apple Tv is now full but I don't want to erase anything because I will loose them. Is there a way to transfer this Tv Shows into my computer?

Control-click the Apple TV in iTunes and choose Transfer Purchases from the menu which appears. If a message appears saying the computer isn't authorized, authorize it from the Store menu and try again.

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?
    What does it say?

  • How do I transfer purchased TV shows to my MacBook?

    I have a Generation 1 AppleTV (I "upgraded" to Gen 2, but guess what?  I live in Canada, and for some reason....not allowed to download tv shows with Gen 2!!!).  So I don't think I'm "allowed" to Home Share, either (with Gen 1).
    I am going to lose my mind 3 years after buying AppleTV.  I have been a Mac user (exclusively) since 1989, but working with AppleTV reminds me of DOS of the old days!!
    All I want to flippin' do is to buy TV shows on AppleTV and back them up on my computer (once I do that, I simply transfer them to an external drive, thus having them for the future). 
    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    For instance, I bought the first season of "West Wing." Watched it, and now I want to remove it from AppleTV to save space (this is another issue).  Rather than delete it, I need to copy it to my MacBook. Simle enough, right?  Pfft! The unbelievable thing is that all these "phantom" tv episodes show up in THREE different places, while it says it's backing up.  AND for some other reason???   I sometimes have multiple copies of the same episodes (presuably HD and non, but yet, I have 3 copies of one!).
    Something different shows up under "Devices/AppleTV/TV Shows" from "Devices/AppleTV/Settings across the Ribbon bar" and Library/TVShows.
    I have no idea what is syncing (it takes forever each episode, and sometime it downloads and sometimes it doesn't.)
    Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or am I insane?  All I want is for some straight-forward steps on how to transfer my tv shows!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

    thanks.

    Thank you for the reply.  Is there a way to only transfer music purchased and not movies etc?

    Hi: I got my ipod in 2011 and synced it to my old computer. The music that Is on it is from imported cd, so I cannot transfer purchases to my new computer. I also want to keep the settings, favourites, folders, and information that is on my ipod. How do i sync it to new computer? Please Help.

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.
