How to restore movies loaded on my 1st Gen Apple TV back to the computer

I just pulled a major dumb move. I deleted all of my movies from my computer. I am not worried about my iTunes movies because I can restore those. I am talking about the 30 or so movies that I have converted from my DVD collection. Presently, they are still loaded onto my Apple TV (1st Gen). If I simply synch, will they reload to my Computer (Windows 7)?
HELP! 

No.  AppleTV was never intended as a storage device.
If you sync you will lose items not in iTunes from AppleTV too.
Always wise to backup media - less of an issue with iTunes purchases than it used to be, but even they can occasionally disappear from the store if they are no longer for sale.
(BTW discussing DVD conversion is not allowed by Apple even if you own those DVDs yourself and feel this is fair use - the laws vary around the world but Apple forum T&Cs make it best for you to avoid such discussions).

  • HT2463 How can I move photos from my 1st generation Apple TV back to iPhoto on my computer

    Accidently deleted photos from iphoto but they are still on my Apple TV. How can I move them back?

    Sure.  Merely dock your Iphone to your computer.  Then, open up Itunes, your phone should show up there.  Click on it and go to the photo section and do as you please.

  • How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

    How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

    Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
    Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free  in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App  as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

  • I up graded my mac mini with a new hard drive and now need ios 10.9 how do i down load it so i can put it back on the mac

    how do i get the ios 10.9 so i can put it back on the new hard drive

    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install Mac OS X 10.6, update it to 10.6.8, open the Mac App Store, and download 10.9.
    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect it to the Internet, restart it with the Command and R keys held down, and install an OS. If this isn't 10.9, open the Mac App Store and download it from there.

  • How to restore content purchased on AppleTV (1st gen.) and lost in syncing?

    I am an Apple TV (first generation) user who lost all my content purchased directly to the Apple TV when I finally was able to get iTunes on my PC to recognize the Apple TV and then synced it. I did not know or understand about the "reverse sync" that I first read about in these support pages. When I first got the Apple TV, I had a very bad router and just could not get the PC and the Apple TV to talk, so I proceeded to purchase a number of TV series and movies directly onto the Apple TV. I have the receipts. Do you know of any way to get them back or re-download them? There must be a way. I'm talking about several seasons of TV shows and favorite movies for my kids, so it's a big loss.

    Open itunes and go to store->My Account->Purchase History -> Find all the receipt numbers for your missing content, copy and paste them into a text editor. Next find one of your purchases and click "report a problem". Explain that you purchased itunes content on your atv1 and it didn't sync back to itunes properly, paste the receipt numbers.
    Apple is under absolutely no obligation at all to do so, however their unofficial policy is to reflag these purchases for download (at least once, don't count on being so lucky a second time so make sure you have a good backup strategy this time). Note that a lot of ISPs with "unlimited data plans" actually have hidden caps starting around 60-100gigs. If your atv was near to full you might be hitting those caps when you redownload all the content in one fell swoop.
    G'luck.

  • HT3296 How do I navigate 1st gen Apple TV without ANY remote?

    How do I (or can I) navigate 1st gen Apple TV without being able to use any remote?

    You can use Remote app on an iOS device, however it needs to have ben configured first and that would entail using an Apple Remote.
    If you have lost or do not have an Apple remote the new silver remote works with all units.
    Some 3rd party programmable remotes may also have codes to use with other devices like AppleTV.

    hi i have the 1st gen apple tv and suddenly when trying to rent a movie i don't see the rental interface. i did a factory restore and now i see movie trailors and my movies but not rental option. any idea what could be wrong??

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

  • HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

    Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

    This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

  • TS1717 how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download stuffs up

    how to restore my itunes music library when an apple download malfunctions

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.
