I have an old Apple TV with built in hard drive is it possible to retrive Music and Photo's ?

I recently had a new Hard Drive fitted into my MacBook Pro and could not retrieve files from the old drive, however I do have an old Apple TV (one of the old ones with built in Hard Drive).
Does anyone know if there is a way of retrieving Music and Photo"s from the Old Apple TV onto my MacBook Pro"s new Hard Drive?

To the best of my knowledge I dont think thats possible unless you take the device apart and connect the drive inside to a Mac with a cradle.

  • Can I turn my soon to be old Apple TV into a wireless hard drive???

    Can I turn my soon to be old Apple TV into a wireless hard drive???

    Exactly. That's my question? There's a 40gb hard drive about to be tossed if I were to purchase the new Apple TV. I assume there are features the new one will have that old does not...?
    Either way still a good question because there is a 40gb hard drive that has just been sitting there unused. It would nice if it could be used as a data storage device.
    Currently I just stream content thru the Apple TV or rent movies directly from the ATV (not at the computer and then wait for them to transfer to the hard drive)

    There's a defect. The computer is in warranty so take it in for repair.

  • I am trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    Iam trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    I found another forum that had a solution.  Instead of using the recovery discs that came with the mac, use snow leopard to perform the actions that I needed to do.  It worked.  No input/output error and the software recognized the 1Tb hard drive.

  • Why do I have 200 GB of "backup" on my main hard drive?  Any how can I find and erase them?

    I have a MBP that was recently subjected to some liquid damage and taken in for repair.  While it was being repaired, I purchased a second MBP.  My newest MBP is now my personal laptop, and I'm converting the old one over to a work laptop.  In that process, I've upgraded to Lion, and now I'm trying to free up as much hard drive space as possible.  I have already deleted all of the music, photos and videos from the hard drive.  However, when I go to see how much free space I have left, it shows that I have over 200 GB of "backups" on my main hard drive. 
    I have never created any backups on this drive.  I only used an external HD to do Time Machine backups.  How can I locate these backups and delete them in order to free up the hard drive space?

    When you open FINDER, is there a folder titled 'backups?  If not, have to tried 'search' or 'spotlight' to locate 'backups?  By any chance is your disc partitioned?
    You state that you have deleted all music, photos and videos from this drive.  The graphic that you included in your query shows that these are still on the disc.
    The simplest way of achieving your desired result is to open Disk Utility and erase all user data.  However that does not tell us what 'backups' is.  Pure speculation on my part, but if the disc is partitioned, maybe that is how it is represented on the graphic.
    Click on the HDD on your desk top using Command 'I' and see if available space correlates with the the above graphic.  If not this suggest a software issue.
    If it does, you have to locate 'backups'.  As alluded to previously, try SEARCH and SPOTLIGHT.  200GB is hard to hide.  Another technique is to open finder and press COMMAND 'J'.  Click on 'size' and 'calculate all sizes'.  If one of those files is over 200 GB, you have located your culprit.
    Better yet wait for someone who knows exactly what the problem is and will give a simple answer.  I admit I'm grasping at straws here, but maybe I've at least given a bit of a starting point.  Good luck.
    Ciao.

  • Hi, I have a late 2008 iMac with a new hard drive. How do I install Mountain Lion from my bootable USB flash drive.

    How do I install Mountain Lion to a new hard drive without having the recovery partition on it.
    I have the USB flash drive with software on it but when I switch my Mac on all I have is a white screen & a flashing question mark.
    ATB,
    Steve.

    Did you use LionDiskMaker or DiskMaker X?
    Boot the machine with the option key down until you see your bootable USB stick.  Select the latter, and reboot.
    When the installer boots up, you will first need to choose Utilities and Disk Utility. Select the target HD device name and then the partition tab. Select 1 partition, name it Macintosh HD. Format is Mac OS Extended, and option is GUID. Apply. Exit Disk Utility and return to the installer, which will now show your newly partitioned HD as available for install.
    When OS X is installed and all updates applied, press shift+command+U and run disk utility again. Verify/repair permissions and verify the boot disk.

  • I tried to master reset my I pod touch, now all I have is a apple skull with a flame on its head I am trying to sync and I can not get past the apple with a flame

    I bought my daughter an I pod touch 3 gen. I tried to do a master reset so I could sync it with my Itunes account. After resetting, all that is showing is an apple that looks like a skull with a flame on top. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do so I can sync it?

    Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
    But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems.

  • Imac as Thunderbolt display with built-in hard drive and...

    Hello,
    I'm new to this but couldn't find anything which completely sattified me on this idea on the internet.
    Let's say I own a macbook pro with thunderbolt port and also an iMac 27" with Thunderbolt port.
    Wouldn't it be great and rather easy for apple to do, if I could connect my Macbook Pro to my iMac?
    Indeed this is already possible, but it only let's me use the screen of my iMac if I'm not mistaken.
    My idea was to make it happen that once connected through Thunderbolt, my Macbook Pro is able to use all the assets of my iMac, as there are the Facetime camera, usb ports, ethernet port, harddisk and maybe even some processorspeed and memory?
    My guess would be that the way Thunderbolt is connected to the machines, there should be no problem but the OS isn't ready for this.
    Any ideas?
    With kind regards,
    Willem

    That's what I thought, but dream with me, how cool would this be, maybe something for the next Mac Pro? Is apple reading these things actually? Thanks for the reply!

  • I have a lot image files on external WD hard drive USB powered .i just purchased aperture and have initated an import into aperture of all photos on thatdrive.it has about 1.75gig of images. how long will that take--been 24 hours already???

    I have had several issues so far with my new aperture program, and this is the fifth time i have tired to collect all of my images (or nearly all) onto a single drive and be able to file them from my mac notebook...obviously one huge problem is that every timie the dog walks buy he knocks the cord out and i basiclaly have to start over again...
    but i have taped the cords in an managed to fly across country while keeping the whole import running---up near 24 hours constant now...
    anyway, i ahve a bunch of questions but my main one is, i think from reaeding up here that it could take a fulll week to finish this transfer (even though i beleieve i made it very clear that i only want to index the fiels from their current location and not to move any of them around at all....
    the only rush really is that i have my daughter's graduation pictuers and everyone wants to see htem but i don't really want to cancel this transfer after i have already spent 24 hours!!!
    sorry to write so much...
    thanks for any ideas....
    Max

    Max,
    It really can take very long to import and process so many images - I would not dare to make a prediction.
    Can you open the Activity Viewer?
    From Aperture's main menu bar: Window > Show Activity.
    This window will tell you the filename of the image that is currently being processed.
    if you are seeing, that the import is still far from being finished, you might to pause certain tasks directly from this panel, like the generation of previews or scanning for faces. I'd let the import run, if you see that it is making progress.
    Have you enabled very time-consuming options, like the generation of high resolution previes or scanning for faces and places? if yes, and the import is not making any progress at all, I'd disable thes options in the Aperture preferences for the initial import. You can add these later for the projects where you want to use these features.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Airport Extreme with a USB Hard Drive to a store all iTunes music

    Can you plug in a USB external Hard Drive to a Airport Extreme to store all iTunes music (or other files) and then access this from all wireless devices?

    Yeah the backup is where I'm getting stuck. Seems just keeping the files on my local hard drive is the easiest but that would essentially require a new computer as I'm running a 2008 Macbook Pro and don't want to upgrade it.

  • I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

    Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

    With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

  • MacBook Pro Retina with a 500gb hard drive - 400gb storage space?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina with a 500gb hard drive. I recently deleted a windows 8 partition, and now my macbook says its total storage capacity is 399.42gb. Is this normal? Or am I missing 100gb storage space?
    When I deleted the partition through boot camp, there was an error, but the boot camp partition seemed to have been deleted completely. I ran disk utility repair and single user mode command prompt /sbin/fsck -fy to make sure my disk was properly partitioned, but it still shows 399.42gb total storage in my "About This Mac".

    You did not remove your Windows partition correctly. You need to remove it using Boot Camp Assistant. If you cannot then you will need to repartition the entire drive back to a single partition/volume.

  • Help with my Internal Hard Drive!!! New to Mac

    Hello! I've only had my iMac for a few months now after switching from PC. I have a 1TB hard drive, which is plenty for my files and photos.
    It says that I only have 244 GB left on my internal. I don't know how this could be. I checked in all the folders that I have, music, pictures, documents, desktop, etc, all the file sizes add up to about 350 GB. What else is being stored in there? I tried to download Adobe Acrobat and it told me I didn't have enough space. What? how can this be?
    Do all my software and applications get stored on there too? I run Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. I'm sorry if this is a stupid and obvious question. I'm not very mac literate yet.
    Thanks

    Yes, your entire system including applications is on that drive.
    To see where all the space is going, try Omnidisksweeper (free) http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/
    If there's excessive space being used by cache files or other background processes, come back to the forum and and someone will point you to a solution.
    Even if there is "only" 244GB available Acrobat should not be complaining. (But then, it is Adobe) I'd ask Adobe themselves about that one.
