Transfer Apple TV content to computer

I had a hard drive crash on my computer. Is it possible to transfer Apple TV contents back to computer? Thanks

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
It is not possible to simply transfer content back from your tv. If your content is valuable (photos/home movies etc) you may be willing to void your warranty to 'break into' the tv so to speak. If you are at all unsure about how to go about this I'd suggest you go to a data recovery expert with experience in mac products.

Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post.
My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated. I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT. I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts. I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.
Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop? (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way. I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
(I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard! Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device? And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
Thank you to anyone who can help me!

The link that brought you here tells you how, as far as Apple has designed it.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

You don't need third party software to do this for iTunes purchases.

What happens when you try to sync the music and videos to the iPod?
Was all media purchased wit the same Apple ID?
Did the music and videos sync to the old iPod?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.

How do I transfer my library to another computer

I have a new laptop and want to move my library over to the new laptop. How can I do that?

Hello Jeff,
Congratulations on your new laptop! The article below outlines several methods to transfer your music from your previous computer to your new computer.
Home Sharing is the easiest way to transfer your music from one computer to another, but I recommend reviewing the options available in the table to decide which method would work best for you:
The following table compares the methods to move music from your old computer to your new computer.
Method
Considerations
Home Sharing
The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
External drive
Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
Transferring purchases
Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
Windows Migration Assistant
Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.
You can find the steps for each of these methods in the following article:

Hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

If your computers are connected to the same network, you can turn on Sharing to allow you to see the contents of one from the other and do transfers. If there is no network, you can use "target disk mode" explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
Otherwise, you will need to use external storage such as a USB flash drive.

Transfer from iPod to New Computer

I use my iPod to listen to recordings of lectures. I do the recording using a digital recorder, then download to the PC and import into iTunes then sync to iPod.
Recently my PC crashed and the hard disk is no longer recognized. I will have to buy a new hard disk and reinstall everything to get that PC up and running. It will take a long time.
I tried to sync from iPod to another PC to continue using the iPod but it won't let me. I got a message saying that everything in my iPod will be deleted if I use it with another PC.
I can understand the copyright issue for purchased music but I don't have any -- everything in my iPod is recording of lectures.
I looked for Apple Support but all their Support web site does is refer me to this forum.
Can someone suggest a way to transfer from iPod to a new PC? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all your help,
Pius

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Connecting Apple TV to new computer

Getting new computer; need to transfer Apple TV to new machine. Is this hard to do?

Which AppleTv - grey ATV1 or black ATV2/3?
Simple for ATv2/3 as you just need to configure Home Sharing in itunes plus any photo sharing options.
With AppleTV1 if you have content on it you cannot use AppleTv as a backup to get it into a new itunes library unless it's a new purchase never transferred to itunes.

How to transfer my phone content to new itunes

i have already sync my i phone before with another laptop and purchased a new one and want to transfer all my content ((apps,contact,calender,tones,music, etc ..)) and sync my iphone with new laptop without looseing any data. how to do that?

Start by transferring your iTunes library from your other laptop to your new laptop per the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
For any photos transferred from the other laptop, you need to transfer the photos from the other laptop to your new laptop along with any other important data you will want or need to access on your new laptop.
Before syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported app on your new computer, enter one contact and calendar event in the supported app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Or transfer the backup for the address book and calendar app on your other computer to your new computer for import by the supported app on your new computer.
