Hard drive failure

[fw221]

My hard drive died yesterday. I took my iMac into the Apple Store and will be getting a replacement. Here's the thing...

My last time machine back-up was in May. I've purchased some music (which now reside on my iPad and Apple tv) and some tv shows (which all reside on my Apple tv) since my last back-up. How do I transfer the data back onto my iMac from my devices? Will it just know when I sync them?

if they are from itunes you will have no problem.... if they aren't (ripped cds dvds.....) then you have some problems

until you get expod! some program a guy made to take things off ipods, works even with ipod touches, i've used it once before. Its not a super beautiful program but it sure does get the job done no idea if it works with ipads though, but worth a shot

heres a link http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23015/expod or if you don't trust links just search expod, the current version is 0.7.3

Anything you bought in iTunes should be easy to recover. Once you've authorized your account on the computer, just connect the device, right click on it and click transfer purchases. I believe you can also re-download stuff you've purchased for free.
