How to get my Music and videos from my Macbook pro to apple TV

I have some music and videos from my macbook that i have added to itunes from CD's and DVDs. Whenever i try to play music or movies on my apple TV it says that there is no music in the library. Is this because the items were not bought on itunes and were added from my computer??

If the music and video is compatible, it should play from Computers.
The Mac and iTunes must be running, the media files must be accessible on an internal or attached external drive.
I assume you have enabled Home Sharing.

  • How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    My itunes PC no longer works.  How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

    You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC.  Apple do not provide that facility.  It can be done with third party software though.  There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.

  • How to back up music and video from  iphone to laptop.

    I have a problem about my boss's iphone.

    music and video in his laptop because the musics and videos already had in his iphone is from his friend pc.pls some instruction to me.
    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Transfering music to your pc is only possible if you bought the music via iTunes. Then you can tranfer your purchases back to your computer.
    Or you have to look for 3rd party software to transfer music you didn't buy in itunes to your pc. Search in google for "iphone music backup" or see this link:

  • Getting purchased music and video from itunes

    I deleted some music and videos that i purchased from itunes store by accident from my computer. Is there a way that i can retrieve it from the store again without paying for it? I was able to view everything that I purchased but I couldn't find a way to download them again. Thanks
    marc

    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • How to get back music and video conent after updating ipod

    I have recently updated my ipod touch. And when it restored tmy stuff back it only put back my photos and apps, but deleted my music and videos. I already tried restoring form an back-up and it did not work. please help, that was a lot of music.

    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.
    If for some reason you have failed to transfer any purchases to your computer before updating ( as you always should), then you will have to redownload whatever you can:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

    Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video?  I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv.  I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv.  Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv?  thanks for any help.

    You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

  • How do I move music and videos from Iphone to Icloud?

    Trying to move my music on my Iphone to Icloud and it doesnt seem to be moving...what do I do?

    Music is not stored in the iCloud. Past purchases can be reloaded from the cloud, and iTunes Match provides this function to non-purchased music.

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)
    Chris

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

    I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
    Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

    In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
    I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.

  • My old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto my new computer

    my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.
