Transfer from apple tv to mac

Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer files from my Apple TV back to my Mac? I had a bunch of movies files that I ripped to place on my Apple TV. Some of the files on my Mac were accidentally deleted, so I was hoping I could transfer them back from my Apple TV. I'm using a 1st generation, if that helps. And these are not movies purchased on iTunes.
THanks,
Bryan

That's not possible unfortunately. The next time you connect the Apple TV to an iTunes library, all the synced content it contains will be deleted. If the content you have lost is valuable enough to you, you might consider removing the drive from the Apple TV and connecting it to your computer, however this is not straight forward since the Apple TV isn't designed to be serviced by the user.
Can I suggest you get yourself an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or another back up utility. Data loss is often sudden and unexpected and far too late to do anything about in many cases.

How do I get key from Apple to download Mac office?

How do I get a key from Apple to download Mac Office? I have a CD for 2008 but not a drive to load it. Do I get free upgrades or do I need to purchase them?

You get it from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products?aspxerrorpath=/blog-archive/Office-for-Mac -Keyboard-Shortcuts--Excel/2/filter/category.Office%202008

Transfer from old to new Mac impossible

I can't transfer the information from old G5 to a new Mac Pro 8 core. Using T mode, as described, transfer doesn't occur after two hours at all. There is a window "Transferring information" but nothing happens. Using SuperDuper! or Migration Assistant from OS10.4.10 to copy the entire bootable volume from the external HD, is impossible. However, it's possible to copy the old volume to a second, non startup disk, but without libraries, which is worthless.
Do I have to manually transfer the libraries to the new computer in order to use the old applications? It's going to take for ever. I have no idea why the simple transfer from the old Mac to the new doesn't work as advertise.

When you booted up the new machine the first time, did you use the migration assistant? If not, you might want to try using the Restore disk and restore the Mac Pro to its factory state. Also, take a look at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773 and A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs. Those should get you started in the right direction.

Mailbox transfer from Apple mail to Windows Outlook 2010

There were thousands of emails in Apple mail email client. I sorted out and maild mailboxes for different types of emails. I separated work-related eails and other stuff related emails and made mailboxes for each. Now I want to move the work-related emails
to my windows laptop in Outlook 2010 email client.
I did try to sync the emails via Imap but the synchronization fails every time I try to sync the emails. I have double checked everything many times before synching but it always fails. Now I am sick of doing it as there are 10k plus mails and the sync is always
failing.
Is there any other way to transfer the mailbox from apple mail to outlook 2010. It would be very helpful of anyone can guide me to transfer only the work mailbox folder as syncing via Imap starts downloading all the emails including the others.
I just need to transfer the work folder.
Helpful solutions will be really appreciated.

Hi,
The easiest way to transfer data from Outlook for Mac to a Windows-based Outlook client is to upload to an exchange server. To do this, please refer:

However, if that option is not available use one of the methods listed in the link below:

Address book transfer from Palm 3x to Mac Address Book Lion

Have a vintage Palm3x synched with a vintage Dell Inspiron 8300 desktop computer using XP. Recently aquired a Mac Book Pro with the new Lion OS. Is there any way to transfer the address book and memos from the old machine to the new? Apple recommended trying to transfer via a flash drive using the .csv format. When I tried to export the data from the Palm Desktop OS 3.0.1 to the flash drive, I got a message: : "Export error, *.csv contains an invalid path". Heard from another source that Palm 3X is incompatible with Lion OS anyway, and to try to export to Microsoft Outlook on the old Dell first and then to attempt to synch with the Mac from Outlook...
Any ideas on how this might be done, and if so, what exact steps should I take? Should I still attempt to sync with Outlook with .csv format? Tried this, but couldn't find the appropriate folder to export to - under the C: drive, there were only about 6 or 8 options, none of which seemed to have anything to do with Outlook.

I tried going to the application support folder to get the address book to transfer from my iMac with Leopard to my Powerbook with Tiger. It didn't work for me either. So here's what I did and it worked like a charm:
Select all contacts in each separate group in your address book on your iMac and drag them individually to a thumb or flash drive. This will create a vcard for each of the groups. ( I had 8 groups). Plug the drive into your Powerbook, add the name of each group you are transferring, and drop each group into the proper group on the Address book. This essentially copies each V-Card from one computer to the other. If you have obsolete addresses on your Powerbook, they will be automatically updated. This may be too late to help you, but perhaps someone else may have the same problem.

Easy transfer from ipod to computer mac

I have brought my apple MacBook Pro as of yesterday - and do love it, but I am having problem with get my ipod library transfer to the mac. I phoned support they advised me to down load the subject line (a free download) which then should work --- it didn't!..
Please can you help me?

You can only "transfer" purchased music from the iPod to your computer. Any music you ripped from CDs or purchased elsewhere will have to be moved (either fromt he computer you originally synced with or using third-party software.
If you used third-party software and it didn't work, it would be helpful if you told us what you used and what happened.
Also...are you really running OS 9? If so, which of version of iTunes do you have? It could be that a much older version of iTunes is not compatible with the current third-party apps available to do this.

Using iPod for data transfer from windows to a Mac... is this possible?

ok here's the situation.
my room mate has a (video) iPod 30G colour screen and everything. she has downloaded a show (not from iTunes) on her laptop using windows. We want to use her iPod to transfer the data from that show onto my computer which is an iMac G5 Intel Core Duo.
We connected the iPod to my computer but it was not recognized. Is this because her iPod is formatted for Windows or is there possibly another reason?
if anyone could help that would be great.
thanks

From what I know, windows will not recognize the complicated data of a mac formatted device; hence not recognizing it. Macs can recognize a windows formated ipod though, so if you decide to reformat it on windows, then you can use it on both computers. If you dont though, looks like you are out of luck, sorry.
Hope I helped.

Can I transfer from Apple TV to my new Ipod touch?

I have a tricky situation on my hands. My old pc which my itunes library is stored can no longer connect to the internet. It was a windows 98 sony computer. I also have an ipod I bought 4 years ago that broke about the same time which was my device for this library. I just got the new 64 GB Ipod touch for Christmas and I also have an Apple TV. I would like to transfer all the music which is on my apple tv to my Dell Windows XP laptop computer so I can sync it to my new ipod. I have wifi on bot the laptop and apple tv. I have 8500 songs on the apple tv and the old computer with no internet connectivity.

No you can't transfer things from AppleTV to any other device or iTunes library.
Your best option would be to try to copy off the old iTunes library onto maybe an external drive (does the old machine have USB ? Could you add a USB PCI card?) and attach that to the laptop.
Provided your old computer works and the hard driev is k, you shoyld have a variety of potential options for getting the data from that onto something the new laptop can use - even removing the old computer drive, getting an IDE drive caddy with a USB 2.0 interface and hooking up to the laptop.

Synch from apple TV to mac

My Mac had a major crash during installing of bootcamp, I loosed all data the cpu and HD where changed. I have all photo's and music stored on Apple TV but can not restore it to my Mac , any idea how to sync form AppleTV to Mac???

If you can borrow a MacBook it uses the same drive setup, so you could install the ATV drive in the laptop and boot from a DVD or external drive and read/copy the files.
Access to both the ATV HD and the MacBook HD are fairly simple. On the ATV you will void the warranty when you remove the rubber on the bottom to get at the Torx screws, but the MacBook drive slides in and out once you remove the battery and no tools are needed. No expensive drive enclosure needed - if you can borrow a MacBook.
