Restore content from Apple TV to HDD

I've been synching content between the Apple TV and an external drive. The external drive failed. Does anyone know if you can restore the content from the Apple TV back to a new hard drive array?

Not easily, if your content is valuable consider visiting a data recovery specialist that is familiar with macs.

Erasing content from Apple TV

We have an apple tv that has always been hooked up to our pc (our library of movies and tv shows is on that machine). For some reason, the pc no longer sees the apple tv. We've tried all kinds of fixes and can't figure it out. The apple tv hard drive is almost full, so, as a quick fix, I was hoping to delete most of its content, using itunes on my mac...since I can see the apple tv there. I thought that synching to my mac would remove the content from the apple tv that I didn't purchase but it is still there. How do I erase it? Thank you.

On the ATV, go to Settings => Computers. Tell it to undo the link to your syncing computer. It will warn you it will delete everything. Then just do it.

TS3682 Restore content from older device to new device in iCloud

Hi, just got a new device ( iphone5 ) and I need to transfer content from my older device using iCloud. Unfortunately I missed the prompt during the setup of my new device when asked if I would like to restore iCloud back up. Verizon activated my new phone and never bothered to ask me if I wanted this option , they answered no when I really should have said yes. Now I'm trying to restore my old back up and can't since I don't have access to my computer / ITunes. Is there any other way to get this backup using wifi ? Thank you for your time and expertise regarding this matter. Miguel

Group names and content from Apple Address Book not syncing to iphone

My contact from Apple Address Book Syncs, but no group names get down loaded. Clicking The "group" icon in the iphone status bar bring up an empty page from which I cannot recover back to all contacts without restarting the device. In Essence the contact app is stuck in a blank group page.

I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.
Any ideas? Is this consistent with the original post?

Retrieving content from Apple TV

Pretty sure I know the answer as others have posted similar questions but here goes:
I bought a used Apple TV. The guy I bought it from does not have copies of any of the content (both iTunes purchased and non purchased (ripped etc.)) currently on the Apple TV (it's his, long story). He asked me if I could somehow get the content off the Apple TV and burn it to some DVDs for him. I'm up for trying.
It appears from what I've read here though that as soon as I pair it with my computer/itunes the content will be erased as Apple TV views that as a new library. Is this correct ?
What I haven't been able to find out is can I plug the Apple TV in without pairing it and somehow access the content ? Does it show up as a network drive perhaps ?
I gather that I could remove the drive and mount it but that's a little risky.
Always willing to help my fellow man if I can.
Thanks
Marc

Thanks. Does anyone know how Apple TV determines if it is a new library ? Assuming he can retrieve his iTunes library file and put in on another (empty) Mac or PC. would Apple TV still think it is a different library ? Or because the library is the same would the files then be synched back to the new computer?

Problems With Quicktime content from Apple website

Hi
I have problems visualizing various sections of the Apple website that contains quicktime content. (Safari thinks Quicktime is not installed)
for example can't see shuffle giuded tour
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/guidedtour/tour/large.html
or the video for the iphone os 3.0
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0903lajkszg/event/index.html
from the safari error console i can see there are runtime javascript errors on calls to
'AC.Detector', whose result is non an object, as you can see here
http://i40.tinypic.com/1jb1qc.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/15ejrb9.jpg
Any idea?
Thanks
PS: i have no problems with quicktime from other websites, or from other parts of
Apple.

i don't know
it could be an issue with something else, maybe iTunes
look here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8689671&#8689671

i have not had problems with Apple quicktime content in the recent past (same Safari 4 Beta)

Hi David,
Please double check and make sure the SharePoint patch level is the same for two environments from CA->"Check product and patch installation status" (PatchStatus.aspx), then re-run the
SharePoint Configuration Wizard again, and then backup and restore, let us know your results.
Here are two articles about this topic you can take a look.

Deleting Selected Content from Apple TV

I synced a lot of music onto Apple TV and now I've decided I no longer wnat song of the songs on it.
In order to snyc the music I created a new playlist in Itunes and checked the box on ATV to sync all the files over.
If I delete the files from the play list on Itunes all that will do is edit the play list as it appears in Itunes, not on ATV, correct?

No, if you remove the entries from the playlist and sync again, it should remove the files from the tv.

Moving content from apple Tv to computr

Hi,
I have purchased some movies that now sit on my Apple TV. I would like to find a way to move them to my iMac. Can someone help me with this.
thanks

They should have synced over automatically to the machine the AppleTV is set to sync with (won't if only set to stream).

Content from my Apple TV only displays on about 50% of the screen on my 40" 1080p flatcreen. How do I fill the screen with content?

Content from Apple TV 2 only displays in about 50% of the screen on my 40" 1080p flatscreen. How do I fill the screen with content?

Check TV remote for an aspect ratio control (occssionally zoom) and set to 16:9.

Can't restore iPad from icloud

I Had the "unable to download item" issue after updating iOS recently. Forums suggested that I shoud restore the iPad 2 via iTunes and then restore content from backup. So I held down the two buttons while connecting the iPad to the computer and the system restore worked fine however when it came to restoring content it said that the iPad had not been backed up previously.I looked online in my iCloud account and there is definitely a backup there but for some reason it is not tied in with my iPad any more. Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks

Dont worry about this!!! I am a moron! Just figured it out. Thanks

some people have reported issues trying this with content not being found etc...
On a sidenote: I am pretty sure that in some of those cases what actually happened was that people opened Logic immediately after installing or copying content, and then expecting Logic to find this, but the Spotlight index (which EXS24 and NI's Kontakt use to find samples) was probably still busy updating.
This can take a few minutes up to half an hour or more (e.g. after installing big sample ibraries).
A pulsating dot inside the magnifying glass Spotlight symbol, on the top right corner of the screen, indicates that the Spotlight Index is being rebuilt or updated. Other indications are active MDS and/or MDWorker processes; those can be seen in Activity Monitor.
(these processes are usually open, the CPU % is what matters)

Restoring backup from nokia 6230 to nokia 6233

Hi there.
I am using Windows XP SP2 with Nokia Connectivity Cable CA53 and PC Suite version 6.80.22
My problem is when I backup my 6230 via USB and select phone memory only , it backs up fine aside from warning me that certain items are content protected.
When I restore this backup to my 6233 via USB and select restore abd then select the option to restore contacts , calendar , etc and then OK , Content Copier tells me that restoring contents from another phone model to the connected phone may result in all the information not being restored , once I click ok on this , it starts the restore process.
What happens then is that after 28% , Content Copier tells me that restoring the backup was aborted due to inadequate space on the phone , and that only partial content was transferred.
I then browse through my contacts on the 6233 and see that its the same as whats on the 6230 BUT I don't have any of the messages that was on my 6230 transferred to the new phone.
Any ideas or help or suggestions or what , I need exactly what is on my 6230 to be on my 6233.

This is tricky and from what I have learned so far I suspect this may be a current bad feature of PC Suite. I think it is so overly conserned about not overwriting anything on the new phone, that it is very picky of the memory availability (or something )
Anyways, so is your new phone totally empty or does it contain already data that you have put there ? Would you be able to empty the "target" phone and try the restore then, if that helps ? (for example, if you have images, move them to PC, if you have calendar items, add those to the old phone first, also contacts you can syncronise to PC first and then later when restore is successful(hopefully), you can resyncronise the additional contacts to your target phone.
If you can empty the target phone, then run factory settings to it, battery boot and then run a fresh backup from "source" phone and try restore.
Really interested in hearing will you get this sorted...

Anyone experiencing extremely slow downloads from Apple?

For the past 48hrs or so I've been unable to stream or download HD Video from iTunes store or iCloud on any of my devices, Apple TV's or Computers.
Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other HD Streaming services unaffected. Internet up and running 45Mbps connection, working great. only thing affected is content from Apple, specifically content purchased and on iCloud. iCloud account fine, Apple ID account fine. Can access Apple.com, iTunes Store, Apple Store, Communities, and content, however, streaming, downloads extremely slow, almost unresponsive....
Is anyone aware of any slowdown issues, servers down, or other issues affecting access to content?
You know because Apple is always so forthcoming on these issues!
So far Ive found no mention of any issues in any of the communities....
Thank You.

Apparently Adobe is having server problems. Other users have reported problems today.

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.
