Installation
- iTiVo requires MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) or newer.
- Make sure to update your operating system to include the latest updates (top menu apple logo, Sofware Update...).
- Download the file containing the application from:
http://code.google.com/p/itivo/downloads/list
- Open the result.
- Drag the iTiVo Application to your "Applications" folder
Configuring your tivo to allow downloads
- Sign in to http://www.tivo.com/tivo-mma/index.do (clicking the link will take you away from this page.. so you might want to open it in a new window). Sign in with your username and password.
- Select "Change DVR Preferences". Enable Tivo downloads. (if you are already logged in, you can go straight to This page to do the same).
- Save your settings.
- You may need to force a daily update or wait overnight for these settings to take effect.
Obtaining the Media Access Key (MAK)
The media access key is a special key that is unique to your tivo account. It enables you to view the shows on your tivo in multiple locations. (including TivoToGo). It is needed by iTiVo to download shows. You enter it in the Prefs settings.
- Sign in to your tivo account
- Go to Tivo.Com's Key page. You will need to already have an account on the website. If not, follow the appropriate instructions.
- Copy down that ten digit number. That is your MAK
An alternative method that can be used is to walk up to your TiVo, and do the following:
- Go to the main TiVo menu (hit the TiVo button)
- Go to Messages and Settings
- Select Account and System Info
- Select Media Access Key
- Copy down the 10-digit number
iTivo tries to connect but then says MAK is configured incorrectly... any idea what that means?
Where in the application do you enter the MAK number? I can't find it in the application.
MAK entered but says it's configured incorrectly...how do we solve this?
I can't open my preference panel to input the MAK. This message appears:Can’t get window "PrefsPanel?". (-1728)
How do you determine TiVo? IP address?
iTivo literally stopped working without warning over the weekend. I didn't change any settings and now every time I try to download a show the status bar at the bottom says "Couldn't download (Show Name)".
I can still see the shows on my tivo and the list updates, but I can't download them.
Tivo built a hard end-date into a session cookie issued by the server in the Tivo box. Guess what date that was?
Several solutions have been proposed, including some discussed on this page.
Thanks for supporting this code!!
I'm new to iTiVo, and have it downloading my first file now. However I have a question. I wasn't sure if this was an "Issue" or not. Is it possible to have iTiVo decode/decrypt .tivo files I've already downloaded with Toast's TiVo? Transfer? I've downloaded all of my recorded shows, many of which I can't re-download because of a TiVo? hard drive failure. I'm hoping to convert them at 1080p quality instead of the lower quality Toast can do because of restriction by TiVo?. Intended playback is over an AppleTV 3.
If it isn't possible with iTiVo, is there another way to do this? All my other programs refuse to convert .tivo files.
Does this work on OS-X 10.8.3? I just installed it and am getting lots of weird popup messages.
a) Please do not add comments here. They become permanent. b) Please see cTiVo. All of the features, less Applescript.
Help... sometimes when I run iTiVo, it gives the error message AppleScript?? Error: Can’t get item 1 of {}. (-1728).
I also get this error message when running it: AppleScript? Error: sh: mDNS: command not found No matching processes belonging to you were found (1)
It is impossible to enter the MAK at this point. Any fix for this? Thanks for assistance.
How do I find out the IP address? I used a network tool but it couldn't give the IP address. My TiVo? box did not have it listed. I am using 10.8.4.
Just downloaded iTivo 1.7.7b3 to my new MacBook? Pro OS X 10.9 and when I try to open it I get Messsage: "iTiVo can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." Seems like all my options for downloading TiVo? Shows have now failed, i.e., Toast 11 TiVo? Transfer, Decode Manager, kmttg, etc.
Please see the comment of May 18, 2013. iTiVo is no longer under active development.
