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?

Retrieving content from JavaScript created web tables?

I am developing a simple Java program that is to browse a particular site, follow links and download web page content (which is created dynamically based on day and sports selected) from which data enclosed in <table>....</table> tags is later parsed and used in Excel spreadsheet for later analysis.
The idea is to collect sports betting odds from Internet sportsbooks and of course such content is created dynamically based on day's offer of sports events!
It can be done when the web tables are created dynamically with ASP or PHP as it basically just feed you the web page with all the data still enclosed in standard HTML tables tags.
However there are quite a number of sites that use Javascript to create such dynamic tables. SO MY QUESTION IS: IS THERE A WAY TO GATHER SUCH JAVASCRIP CREATED WEB DATA IN JAVA?
Thanks in advance!

One more thing occured to me as a possible solution but I don't know if it can be done?
Those particular JavaScript generated web pages that I'm trying to retrieve contents from display data in html tables created depending on the user input!
Appart from zillion fancy design functions, those pages create a loooooong string which basically represents html <table>.....</table> structure and all the rows and cells are constructed by calling multiple JavaScript functions and filling those tables with variables contained in arrays located in several *.js files.
So my idea is, CAN YOU CATCH THAT FINAL GENERATED HTML, that is used to view the web page in a browser?

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.

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?

[SOLVED] - Create Boot Media to Retrieve Content from a Specific Distribution Point Regardless of Boundary/Boundary Group?

I think I'm a little confused because maybe I missed something somewhere.
I'd like to create bootable meda that would pull the content from a specific DP no matter where the device was physically. So if the machine is in Boundary A/B/C within Boundary Group group A/B/C, that media should
always pull from Distribution Point 'F'.
During the task sequence media creation process, on the 'Boot Image' page, you're asked to select a distribution point so I believed that was all I needed to do. But even though I selected a specific DP, DP F, when creating the media,
during the operating system deployment task sequence, I saw it was pulling the image from another DP; a remote DP for that matter. Imaging over the WAN is not ideal!
I double checked the Boundaries and with the exception of 1 overarching boundary, there were no other overlapping Boundaries. I then checked the Boundary Groups to confirm the Boundaries were associated with the correct Boundary Group (e.g.: all IP's
at site A are in Boundary Group A) and that the correct site system server had been specified for each Boundary Group.
Why the overarching overlap? I wanted to cover scenarios where a local DP had not yet been stood up or simply didn't exist. We frequently stand up several ad-hoc small 'offices' of just 1-3 people with bare-bones infrastructure. I
wanted them to fall back to HQ if they needed anything versus configuring separate Boundaries for each one as the ranges vary each time.
First question is, am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible?
Second, HQ is a fallback source location for content, and that's where this particular system was pulling content from. If the DP I specified during the TS Media creation is missing content, how can I confirm this and validate that the client was directed
to the fallback source which is HQ?

That cannot be done. DPs will be determined dynamically. The DP used in the wizard is for downloading the content just for creating the media.

Oh man - thank you for clearing that up. Sheesh I was thinking about that the wrong way.

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
same issue with 'AC.Detector' (I don't know what that is)
i have not had problems with Apple quicktime content in the recent past (same Safari 4 Beta)
i installed iTunes 8.1 recently

Retrieving Photos from Apple TV

My brand new hard drive just crashed....Is there anyway to retrieve photos that were located on my Apple TV so they can be downloaded back into I-Photo on my desktop?

DO NOT sync your AppleTV with a new iTunes library - all AppleTV content will be erased.
There is no official way to retrieve photos.
Your options essentially involve either dismantling AppleTV and attaching the internal drive to a Mac or an unofficial software hack to access the device using the command line or ftp.
Either option would likley invalidate the warranty if you had problems.
Depends how much your photos are worth to you really...

Trying to retrieve content from a text field & use it in a conditional statement

Hi Everyone,
I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo", and the button is called "genOrder".
Initially the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text field with an appropriate order number.
I need to check the text field for data (content) before writing the order number to it, this way if an order number is already present in the text field it will not be over written.
My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the testing, however I don't know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if content is present!).
If anybody can suggest how I can go about retrieving the content of the text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

How to retrieve content from DAO Class and process in Controller Class?

Hello
This is for the experts.
What is the best approach to passing a large set of data from Class A to Class B? I have a DAO Class that connects to a database to retrieve data. I tried saving the data in a collection (map) and passing the collection to Class B. The problem here is that the data is may be too large for a collection without increasing the heap size, it could cause out of memory exception. Instead I'd like to pass the data (row by row) on to the "Controller" Class where which will process each row. I am not sure how to do this without using a collection or some sort. Some tips will be much appreciated.
Note: MVC Rules dictates that Controller cannot call the DAO Class directly, it has to go through the Model which talks directly with the DAO Class.
Thanks

Edited by: 875864 on 30-Oct-2011 15:05if its a large set of data, and is fetched from DB and you are sure that it is too large and chances of getting out of memory exception then why you are passing it over request.
If the data is fetched based on some filter criteria, then just pass the filter criteria from class A to class B, and fetch the data from DB based on the filter criteria in class B.

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.

Retrieving content from the VCR

I can find lots of information on how to use the Portal Admin Console to add content to a repository. What I need to learn is how to use java code to extract what is added.
I did find netui tags that I can use in JSPs to access the repsoitory, however, I cannot find which java classes to use or how to access the repository object to get the data.
Any help, (i.e. code snippets), would be greatly appreciated.

Best Practice to retrieve content from WCM in Weblogic Portal 10.3

Hi,
Could someone tell us how to render static pages of WCM (which is part of UCM 10gR3) in Weblogic Portal 10.3.
Right now we are using WCM portlet & getting error when changing the portlet preferences.It was provided by oracle only.
Is there any other easy approach to develop static pages through UCM & then integrate in WLP considering the propagation frm Dev to Preprod to Production environments.
Thanks,
Protiti
