Re-sync Apple TV & IPOD After OS Reload?

I had to reload my OS(XP) after some problems. I did the recovery + backup my system is up and running again. (I did not have any of the Itunes items backed up prior to the reload).I have a couple of questions;
1. I loaded most of my music and photos on AppleTV is it possible to recovery
them back to my computers hard drive and re-sync to Itunes?
2. Is there any way to get all of my music back that was in my Itunes library?
Thanks,
Jim

No official way to do this I'm afraid.
Your options are to google for 3rd party hacks/mods that might help or to dismantle AppleTV and remove the drive - you'd then need to stick in a USB caddy (it's a small IDE drive) and attach to computer, but you'd need additional software to read teh disc structure as it's a Mac format.
2. Is there any way to get all of my music back that was in my Itunes library?
If it was purchases from itunes store you could enquire via support if they'd allow you to redownload stuff - the might, they might not.
If you've overwritten the PC drive reinstalling the OS then your media will e gone in the process.

  • My music will not sync to my iPod after updating it to IOS6

    Okay so earlier this week i got notifed for a new update. I didn't want it so I cancled it. Today I watned to sync new music to my iPod but it comepletely shut down. It started to restore by itself and deleted everything. Luckily I had it back-uped to my computer so it fixed everything BUT my music. I have tried some of the tips that have been given to others on here but none of them work.
    I tried "unchecking" the synv music box in the summary and all.
    I tired restoring the whole thing.
    I tried wifi sync and nothing. Its the same crap.
    I turned off the music match and and reset it. Still nothing. This is frustrating me! So much for improving everything. This is crap.
    I need help!

    I also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
    This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps!

  • I cannot get my songs to sync to my Ipod after I installed the new update because I had to restore the ipod.

    I originally had an error message that said Ipod cannot connect to iTunes, ipod needs to be restored. After I updated the itunes software I was able to restore my ipod. Along with the restoration it updated the software. When it was done restoring and updating my music was off of the ipod, and now I am not able to sync my music to ipod.

  • ITunes freezes when syncing music onto iPod after restoring

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation. This thing has become my life, but it has given me ungodly amount of problems since the day I got it. It is updated and always remains that way. Well, due to the amount of problems I had I decided to start fresh and restore my iPod. It seemed to work which was great. I slowly built things back onto it: first all my apps, then photos and onto music. When it came to my music, iTunes would seem to freeze on one song and stop syncing. This has gotten very frustrating for me.
    Am I doing anything wrong? I mean, I restored it completely thinking that it would be fine and act as a new iPod again. Obviously I was very wrong.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Can't sync music on Ipod after formatting

    I recently formatted my computer and so, lost Itunes. I installed it all over again. No problem until then. I put my music and videos from my Ipod (Fifth generation, 30go) on my computer and then on my new Itunes. Doing this, I lost over 500 songs and about 50 videos, who knows why, but that isn't the main problem. My problem is that now, I can't sync new music on my Ipod.
    Also, when I plug my Ipod on my computer, the "Do not disconnect" sign appears automatically and stays there until I manually eject my Ipod. Before the formatting, the "Do not disconnect" would only appear when I was syncing something on my Ipod, and would disappear right after.
    Other minor problem, time on the clock is wrong. For exemple, it showed 12:30 AM when it was 20:00.
    Can anybody help me?

    just had about the same thing happened to me,downloaded a few songs, went to sync them and lost about 400 songs that were already installed....now itunes says computer is not authorized to play!

  • Unable to sync library with ipod after upgrading itunes

    I store my music on a NAS which is connected to my router. Having upgraded itunes recently, the folder automatically changed back to my documents but i have since changed it to the NAS again. However, when trying to sync the ipod with the library, it will not update with any music.
    is there something I need to do like consolidate the library etc?
    any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    hi Jamie!
    However, when trying to sync the ipod with the library, it will not update with any music.
    hmmm. check to see if you've got a drive letter issue:

  • Permissions issue:  can't sync music to ipod after installing leopard

    It says I don't have enough access privileges to write to my music folder, yet I'm the admin and the music folder says I can read and write. Here's the things I've tried:
    At first I thought it was an itunes problem so I re-installed itunes to no avail. Then I tried repairing permissions, no dice. Then, I was sure it was a permissions problem when I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, because it said I had "custom access" and there was an unknown user listed along with me (the admin) and "everyone." So after searching on this forum, I tried using these commands (as suggested by djhartman) in the terminal:
    To set the owner and group correctly use the following command:
    sudo chown -R yourshortusername:staff ~<enter>
    Now type your administrator password. (and if needed confirm that you know what you are doing)
    This will remove the write permission for everyone except you.
    sudo chmod -R go-w ~<enter>
    This might "break" your Drop box in Public. This will fix it again (it means set read and write for you, and write only for others)
    sudo chmod -R 733 ~/Public/Drop\ Box<enter>
    To remove ALL ACLs from your homedir, use:
    chmod -R -N ~
    When using the last command, I got the message "chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file controlsocket: Invalid argument," but it cleared up the "custom access" issue and got rid of the "unknown" user. So now my music folder says I can read and write, but when I hook my ipod up, itunes continues to give me the message that I don't have enough access privileges to write to the music folder.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

  • How do i edit the cd information in itunes so that it syncs with my ipod

    why wont my cd information in itunes sync with my ipod after I edit. I like for my albums to have one artist instead of the main artist and featured artist it just makes music eaiser to find. i'm new to the apple word coming from a mp3 this is so complicated.

    If you havent synced to a computer before then see if this page helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    In terms of updating the iPad, your games progress should be included in the backup. How long it takes to udpate will depend upon your content on the iPad (it will backup and restore it, though the contents of the iPod and Videos apps aren't included in a backup) and wifi speed - the iOS update file is something like 700 meg so may take a while to download.
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • Update iTunes to version 7 and now will not sync with my ipod

    Hi, when i go do add my new playlist it is saying error -50 and that the playlists are not sync'ed. Also my iPod is showing the 1.25 gd is used other formats? not sure what this is about. I have tried to restore and it will not let me - stating that another application is using it? Any advice welcomed.
    Thanks

    This discussion form is for Mac users only. I see that you have a windows machine and therefore should go to the iTunes for Windows discussion form. But to answer one of your question about "other formats," those are files that you sync to the iPod after you enable disk useage. Those can be anything that you put on your iPod.

  • ITunes Unknown Error -48 - no music on iPod after a restore

    I did the 5 R's after having "freezing up" issue with my iPod - went in to sync iTunes with iPod after the restore step, and know I am getting this error message. I did a search and can't find a solution for -48, or even what it means. The songs will sync to about #40 or so, then it stops completely and ejects my iPod as the error message comes up. Please help - no music on my iPod.

    Received no help from this board - took it back into store and they said it was a hard drive error ands replaced the iPod under my 3-year plan. Always buy that. I have needed it twice.

  • I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

         I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance
