Restore from ATV to iTunes

My HD crashed and I started fresh with no data but whatever remained on my iPhone and ATV. My question is:
How can I retreive back from ATV (old version) to iTunes my photos, videos and songs... etc.?
Everytime I go to Computers I have two choices either Add Shared iTunes Library or click on my old grayed library that says:
I get the message "Disconnect from iTunes, disconnecting from iTunes library will remove any iTunes content that has been synced with your computer!"

no, the appletv offers no facility to restore content back to itunes.

Sync from ATV to Itunes

Ok my ATV shoe in the device list and it is streaming. How do I get movies I have downloaded on ATV to Itunes? Is it suppose to be automatic? Because stuff that is on my ATV is not showing up in Itunes. I can sync from Itunes to ATV but I a can seem to do it the other way. i have tried to research this but can't find much. Just a simple few steps on what I should try would be greatly apprciated.
Thanks.

This is an all volunteer effort. Maybe no one who knows the answer has yet looked at your questions. You only posted it two hours ago. You may need to be a bit more patient.
And yes, your question is worded a bit oddly. What does "Okay my ATV shoe" mean? However, if I understand your question, (and I'm not sure I do) Control (or right) click on the items you want to transfer back to your computer and select Transfer Purchase.
Best of luck.

Restoring from backup on iTunes 8 stuck around 95%

Just thought I would test out the claim that the backups were faster iwth version 8 and now its stuck on 95% and has been for almost an hour. Anyone else experiencing this?

First off, "restoring from backup" is not the same as "backups are faster" (i.e. the backups will be faster, but a Restore may take just as long...). Second, the claim is that v2.1 has faster backups, not iTunes 8 (although v2.1 requires iTunes 8). So, wait until Friday to test the claim...

Ipod 5th gen taking long to restore from backup on itunes

I recently got an ipod 5th gen. I backed up my ipod 4th gen to my computer on itunes so i could use that backup on my ipod 5. when i did this it did not download my music or some of my apps. i put my ipod 5 in recovery mode so i can start the back up all over again but it is taking forever for it to restore from backup!! the time remaining says 7 hours then it changes to 8 or even 11 hours. does anyone have any idea what the problem is and what i can do to fix it?

Terminate the process.
Reboot the computer
Try again. you may have to place the iOS device in Recovery Mode to allow the restore

HT204136 Restoring from iCloud and iTunes backup used together

How would I restore my iPhone if I'm doing iCloud and iTunes backup together? The articles lists that as an option, but when it comes time to restore, can't you only pick one to restore from?

Restore from an old iTunes backup but preserve recent app data

I may need to restore from an iTunes backup that is several months ago, and I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to preserve the newer app data that gets synced to iTunes. Obviously it's not an issue for apps that store data in the cloud, but for my apps that store data on the device, when I sync *after* restoring from an old backup, will the more recent app data that *presumably* is on my computer in iTunes overwrite the old app data now on the phone?

Yes, if you restore from backup all the old dats gets erased.

How transfer movies from itunes to apple tv but not from aTV to itunes

I want to transfer the movies and tv shows that I have in iTunes to my Apple TV but I dont want the content of my apple tv to be transfered to itunes, I dont have enough space in my macbook. I tried to sync them but it automatically copies the content of apple tv to itunes and when I cancel the sync it threatens me to erase the content of my apple tv. I took the risk and disconnected itunes from my apple tv, nothing purchased on apple tv was erased but the movies that miraculously were able to be copied from itunes to atv were erased from atv (i still have them on itunes). I still want to transfer those movies to my apple tv, but whenever I do that apple tv keeps syncing with itunes and sends everything to my macbook. I just want to free space of my macbook without erasing anything from apple tv.

It's the way it works.
the iTunes library is supposed to be 'in sync' with AppleTV, so anything bought on AppleTv copies to iTunes to keep things in sync.
If you delete from iTunes it'll delete from appletv too.
There's no manual way to get stuff off appletv so you must make a backup of the files transferred to itunes.
If you then delete the files from their folder direct (right click on a file in itunes and open it's location) but DON'T delete the entry in itunes, you'll free space up on the laptop. You must make a copy first onto say a DVD or external drive unless you're happy for things just to be on appletv and to lose the if it fails/breaks. Remember you cannot manually access the files in appletv to do a file transfer.

IPad restored from backup but iTunes says restore failed

SO, it seems like iOS 5 has been a major pain for a lot of people...
I haven't seen anything about the specific issue I'm encountering though. I spent almost all day yesterday trying to get my iPad backup restored after the update. Finally, last night, the iPad had all my apps, with all my data (except some pictures I had synched from my iMac). But, when I reconnect to iTunes it treats the iPad as if it's "blank", wanting to either set up as a new iPad or restore from my back-up, and the restore process errors out near the end, resulting in the iPad having all the data, but iTunes seeing it as "blank" again.
Any ideas on how I can get my iTunes and iPad to agree on the status of my iPad?

Correction... now the restore from backup goes all the way through, BUT when the iPad reboots, iTunes still thinks it's "blank"... PLEASE help.

My ipad2 wants to now setup as new, but it's not new, and asks to restore from icloud or itunes. I don't know what to do

For no known reason, my Ipad 2 crashed. I turned it on one day and it acts like it's new. It says "setup new ipad" or restore using icloud or itunes. I don't know which to do because I don't want to lose what I had on my ipad and I don't know if I had icloud setup or not.

You don't have any choice. You will have to set the iPad up all over again now. Take a guess and pick one or the other and hope. You will be able to download most of your paid content again for free.

ICloud icon next to ALL my songs on my iPhone after restoring from backup on iTunes

i recently just had my iPhone back after having it repaired. I made a backup on my Mac before sending it away. Now after waiting for it to restore itself and even watch it download all 1800 songs, none of them will play unless i download them from iCloud. I dont understand why as it's never done this with my music before. I dont have iTunes Match and i dont recall ever storing any of my music to the cloud - just my mac. I am not really prepared to go through my entire list of songs and download them separately, so any suggestions as to why it's suddenly decided to do this and how to sort it? everything else from the back up is working fine and is the same as before. thanks!

Hi BeeRai,
If your music is not showing up locally on your iPhone, even if you do not have iTunes Match, you may want to try turning of the iTunes in the Cloud settings as described on the following page, then resyncing if necessary:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Remove iPhone from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices. In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.

Just had to replace iPad so I need to restore from other backup. iTunes has sync error that others say require uninstall and reinstall. "iTunes was unable to load prover data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." If I uninstall, will I lose

Just had to replace iPad and itunes has following error. "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Servies. Reconnect or try again later." I read that others suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If I do this, will I lose my old iPad's backup that I need to restore to this new one?

I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
Getting there.... I hope!

Restoring from itouch to itune

My laptop recently clashed and had to install Window 7. This wiped out the file on Itune. Is there way to restore all the contents from Itouch to new Itune?

Hello. I have updated my iphone 4 to ios7 after doing a backup to itunes. I am caught in a loop of being asked to 'restore from backup' as part of setup and that restore failing because the phone already has it's content I believe. Please help if you can.

Hi. I have an iphone 4 that I have just installed ios7 onto. I had backed up the phone prior.
After the software install the phone rebooted and showed the 'Hello' setup. I am stuck because as part of the setup it asks me to 'restore from backup via itunes". I dont understand why i need to do this as I thought the ios7 install procedure would restore the phone with it's content.
I tried to restore from backup but it says I cant because there is not enough space on the phone. If I connect the phone to itunes, it shows that the phone has all my content, especially since iphoto launches and I can see all the photos it wants to download to iphoto off the phone.
I am caught in a loop. My phone has it's content, but the startup procedure on the phone will not let me progress until I have restored from backup via itunes. But it cant because the phone has no space!!
The only other option it gives is 'Set up as new phone".
Can anyone help please. Thanks.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

My iPod Touch 4G facetime with my specific iPhone 4 only works when I restore from an Apple Store...my PC (XP) iTune Restore will not let my iPod facetime (10 seconds connecting then hangs up)...all other device like my iPads can connect to my iPod...

So, I have an iPhone4 iOS 4.3.2 restored from Apple Store iTunes. I also have an iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.3.2. These two devices can facetime other Apple products, but not each other.
So when I discovered this, I restored both at the Apple Store iTunes and they worked for the first time!! The Genius Bar guys told me to just set my iPod as New Device to my PC then manual sync it. I deleted all my iPod backup from this one since they are all from fresh restore.
I did as directed. iPod does not want to connect facetime to my iPhone. I tried uninstall and reinstall my iTunes to the newest version. Still not working after a full restore. My PC is XP Service Pack 2 with Japanese setting. I wonder if my PC iTunes has to do with anything or my iTunes account...

This is the iPhone forum
That said... PhotoStream is a stream of photos. The contents of the PhotoStream are not part of the backup. PhotoStream will hold the last 30 days of photos on-line. After 30 days, the photos are deleted from the servers. If they have already been downloaded from the cloud and appear on a device, they will remain there. However... if the device is wiped, restored, etc. or PhotoStream on the device is turned off then back on, ONLY the photos still resident in the cloud will download.
If the photos were over 30 days old, they are no longer in the cloud. If you didn't have them backed up elsewhere, they are gone.

HT4946 cannot find itunes backup on my PC (win xp). want to move over to external hard drive to restore from backup bc PC not enough space

i just restored my ipad2 to iOS 6.1.3 yesterday. i have been trying to restore from backup, but i keep getting error messages from itunes (running latest version of itunes) that says there is not enough space to save the backup on the computer. i have tried clearing up as much space on my PC (windows xp), but there is still not enough room. and ive tried disk cleanup on my computer and resetting the ipad and running it through recovery mode (as some articles sugggested it would help with restoring after failed attempts). i read on another question in the apple support discussions that someone just moved his whole backup folder into his external harddrive and then he was able to restore from backup.
the backup is definitely saved on my computer (itunes confirms that), and the backup folder is supposed to be here \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\, but im still not finding it with that file path. i get as far as "username" and then i dont see "application data" and so on. but when i try searching that file path in google chrome, i find it and i see it, but its strange that i cant find it in the "docs and settings" folder in my C drive.
please help! i just want to be able to move the backup folder to my external to restore from backup. thank you in advance!!

Thank you! I was able to find it. Im sorry, i have a few follow up questions. Does the iTunes have to be running from my external as well to do the restore from backup? And if so, how do I move iTunes to external and run it from there? Also, I just copied over the "backup" folder (last part of that file path to my external, is that enough, or did I have to copy it starting from the beginning (docs and settings and so forth)? Lastly, when I select restore from backup in iTunes, would it automatically know that it's the copy on my external to restore backup from? Or do I have to delete or do something with the original file path in my computer?
Thank you!
