How to re-download tv shows on new macbook pro?

Hi,
I recently lost all of my iTunes tv shows - about 70+ How I Met Your Mother episodes, and Little Einsteins for my boy - when my hard-disk crashed. The data couldn't be recovered, but I was told that you can re-download previously purchased media from Itunes.
With my new macbook pro, I tried that, but found only a few of my music that can be downloaded. Couldn't find how to download the tv shows I purchased. How?
Please help!
Danielle

Danielle, even having a back up may not have helped.  I backed up my entire libary and computer with time machine.  Then I cleaned out my Mac and reformatted everything.  When I turned it back on, Time Machine showed that there was used space, but I never got the content back.  Apple scratched their heads and didn't know WTH.  Worst of all, everything on Apple TV was gone-same story.  Used space, but unreachable.  Never got any of it back.  I was hoping iCloud would fix everything but, NOPE. 
A few months later I had a lightning strike.  Everything I had saved on external hard drive AND Time Machine was blown away.  As soon as I turned on Apple TV, it was all missing-again!  No trace.  This time I had a SECOND external hard drive back up, but everything I had purchased and saved on my Apple TV was gone.  Now I'm fighting to get it back.  iCloud should do it.  It doesn't.
Long story short.  You can back up everything you want, but in the end-iTunes and Apple are a fickle lot. It's a crap shoot.

    First... Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    See Here  >  OWC RAM  >  http://www.macsales.com
    The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
    Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

    NOTE that Rosetta is no longer supported in Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion.
    It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Major Update or Upgrade.

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

    Can you tell me how to enable automatic punctuation on a new MacBook Pro with retina? Thanks

    In which application?  (There is no system wide punctuation.) 
    And how is the computer supposed to know what is the correct punctuation?  For example "Let's eat, Mom!" versus "Let's eat Mom!"  (Sort of depends upon whether your computer has weathered the zombie apocalypse, I guess.)

    You would be incorrect on that.  
    Commercial music videos are not to be downloaded, nor is there any difference between that and illegal torrent downloading of copyrighted material.
    Such actions pertaining to commercial copyrighted videos / music videos (lots on youtube) is not legal.
    Any distribution of videos, music or text without the express permission of the copyright-holder is copyright infringement
    regardless of all of that, Google/Youtube clearly notes that its against their policy to allow same from their site on such materials (not all, but most of it there).
    most such videos are not free and "open public domain" materials

  • How quick to export HD footage on new Macbook Pro?

    I have a mid 2007 Macbook Pro (2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gig memory, 7200 rpm hard drive) and will be editing HD footage soon. I've been told I should avoid it with my laptop though it seems to work fine on the whole.
    What it does seem slow on is exporting and was wondering if someone could help me judge this....
    I exported a Quicktime Movie of 2 mins 59 secs of XDCam EX footage shot at 35 mbs and it took 10 mins 51 secs. (I put a couple of lower thirds on it and few video tracks.) Just how does this hold up against a new Macbook Pro? Is this good or bad?
    Thanks

    do some searching here.  My experience has been to set up my xdcam sequences  to render as prores.  I thought this sped things up as I think every bit of an xdcam sequence has to be rendered even if you're exporting with current settings, but I seem to remember a recent thread saying this wasn't true.

  • How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

    How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.

    Ah, a Powerbook. I miss that.  Anyways, I believe that the Powerbook G4 has an Firewire 400/800 port.  Why don't you do that?  It's fast, and you don't have to set up one of those funky reverse wire ethernet cables.  I wouldn't use Migration Assistant, but that's just me.  Too many issues.  I'd start up your brand new MacBook Pro and during the setup assistant, it'll ask you to transfer data from an older Mac.  Using firewire with a Target Disk Mode, it's pretty fast.
    If you have already opened up your new Mac and are using it, then use Migration assistant, but also with the Firewire (preferably 800).

  • How can I install Aperture on my new Macbook Pro. I am up to date with my Mac Pro, I have the Aperture 1 and installation disks but cant remember how I got to 3. Can anyone help?  Many thanks regards Alf

    I have an up to date version of Aperture on my Mac Pro, and I would like to install it on my new Mac book Pro. I have the original installation disks for Aperture 1 and 2. I cant remember how I got to Aperture 3, I think it was via a web download but not sure. I have checked my purchases in the App Store but there is no indication of me buying an upgrade to Aperture 3.
    Ive tried to download it from the App Store but it wants me to pay again.
    Can anyone help on how to install Aperture 3 on my new Macbook .
    Many thanks regards  Alf

    Then you can download the Trial version of Aperture 3 and unlock it with your serial numbers - you will need all three for all three versions: A current link to the Trial version is in this support document, also instructions on how to reinstall on different systems:
    Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
    Regards
    Léonie
    BTW: Your Aperture 3 serial number will be displayed in the "About" panel - the panel you see, when you use the command "About Aperture" from the Aperture menu in the main menu bar.

  • How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

    I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
    thanks

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one.  You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
