Photos on ATV only copies due to dead HD on computer can I get them back?

well my time machine also has lost the photos but I Can still see them as a slide show on my apple TV any way to get them back? and if I have to pull the drive from the ATV to do this can I replace it with something a lot larger? 31 gig available is not much with HD content is there a website that details this process and sells the larger drives unit is long out of warranty
also I have a lot of audible.com books on my itunes on my laptop but only the books I bought on CDs and ripped on to itunes can be seen/played on my old Apple TV none of the stuff bought and DL from audible more than 20 days worth bought over the last 10 years
this is an early ATV updated to the 3,0 software

Thanks looks simple enough can I just copy the contents of the original tiny drive on to one of those 250 gig 2 1/2 inch drives and slap that back into the ATV to get my other problem fixed?
Th fact that audible.com content on itunes can only be used on a full computer and not on an ATV is "working as intended and is imposed by them on Apple as part of their DRM contracts... ARG I have spent several hundred $$$ on thes files and the work on computer itunes and on iPods but that is all
I Hate the way DRM treats me as crook and I have never DL a file that I did nit have the right to use

    You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
    First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
    Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
    For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

  • I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?

    I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?
    I dragged one photo to the My Pictures folder in Finder. I knew it was just one photo because it was the only one highlighted in yellow. When I saw it in Finder, it was labled iPhoto. I thought it was the wrong picture, so in Finder I deleted the file. When I got back to iPhoto, EVERYTHING was missing. Events, photos, recent, and even trash. At this point, I went into my Trash. I searched for iPhoto and iPhoto was there. I opened it and it was still empty. All I want to do is to get my collection of photos back!

    Best solution is to load your backup from before you did this?
    Where did you drag the photo from?
    Have you tried dragging it from the trash to the desktop?  What size is it?
    What size is your iPhoto library in the pictures folder?

  • My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

  • I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
    Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
    Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage.  You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.

  • Photos on Nano - Can I get them back to my computer?

    I'll try to be brief. I recently re-installed the operating sys on my macbook. Before I did so I backed up everything (at least I thought I did). My back-up did not contain all of my photos. I thought they were gone, but they are still on my nano. Question is can I get them back? I tunes is now asking me to re-synch my nano (will replace all existing music and phots on the nano with what is on the computer). That's fine on the music end, all of that was backed up and restored. But I can't resynch with the photos or I'll loose them. So how, if it is possible can I get the photos on my nano back to the computer?
    Thanks!

    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

  • IOS 5 Cleared My Apps/Photos/Videos - WHY? Can I get them back?

    I backed up my iPhone before updating to iOS 5. After installing iOS 5 and restoring the phone, my apps, photos, and videos are all gone.
    No other iPhone updates have this this, why did iOS 5?
    Can I get them back?
    Thank you

    I just encountered a similar problem, but just as frustrating.
    Yesterday I updated my iPhone 4 to OS5, and as it finished restoring, there was a message prompting an 'unknown error occured'. I found that all of the original data was present though, apart from the fact that all of the apps I ever had were now on my phone, randomly arranged. I decided to deal with it later today.
    Meanwhile, today I took a couple of hundred pictures. So tonight, as I wanted to sync them to iPhoto, iTunes prompted me to continue restoring first, as it found the process wasn't complete yet. Unknowingly, and given the fact that I've been through this process more than once, I opted for the restore to be completed, only to find my apps nicely arranged, and all data from the last day erased. This is highly frustrating.
    For the sake of completeness: I tried resetting, never interrupted the process nor disconnected my iPhone.
    If anyone knows a remedy, I'd be most thankful.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • HT4436 Since installing Ios7 280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place.

    Since installing Ios7   280 music tunes out of a total of 360 will now only play when I'm within range of WiFi. The remainder now appear with the stupid Icloud logo beside them. How can I get them back on my Iphone 4s and scrap this stupid icloud that I did not want or ask for in the first place. Why can't rotten apple ask if you want the dam icloud rather than just stealing everything without permission and then you can only have access to it through wifi.

    Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
    What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

  • Updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed.  How can I get them back?

    I just updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed.  How can I get them back?  And how do I show the Apple Music and Weather app- I can find them in spotlight, but there isn't an app button for them.

    Are you sure you don't see them when you swipe to the left?
    I actually had only one icon showing on the second page .... and then all of the rest showed up on pages 3, 4, etc.
    The Apple Music app is a red box with a white note
    Weather app is a blue box with a white cloud and yellow sun
    Did you try resetting or restarting the device?

  • My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?

    My photos are out of chronological order after the os 5 upgrade.   How can I get them back in order?
    If its not possible, how do I go back to the old  os?

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

    Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.
