Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

You need to establish if it was 1080p or 720p HD you downloaded.
If it's 1080p it will not play at all on AppleTV1 - the hardware is not powerful enough to decode 1080p h264 (or 720p above 25fps). When AppleTv1 came out most items were SD only and with time more 720p HD stuff became available. 1080p content cm after AppleTV 1 and 2 were replaced by AppleTV 3.
AppleTV2 can process but not display 1080p - it is stuck to 720p output.
AppleTV1 could only process 720p max, but could always upscale on output to 1080p!
Your iTunes Preference should determine what quality you are downloading/renting.

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

You first have to subscribe to iTunes Match through iTunes on your computer and have your music library in iTunes uploaded/matched before you can enable it on your iOS devices (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Without a computer you won't be able to use iTunes Match.

How do get airplay from my mac to the Apple TV

Where can i find airplay on my Mac

Howdy MiaDad,
It sounds like you would like to use the Airplay feature from your mac to the Apple TV. I found this article for you to help you get that setup named:
iTunes: Using AirPlay
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5922
Enabling AirPlay from iTunes on your computer
To use AirPlay Mirroring, you will need the following:
iTunes 10.2 or later
Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
AirPort Express
Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n) network
To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:
Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Open iTunes.
Locate and click the icon to the left of the iTunes LCD window.
Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.
Note: The images of a TV screen or speaker next to each AirPlay device in the AirPlay menu indicate the type of media content you can stream to that device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

i'm sorry for repeating this, but i have not found a clear, step-by-step answer in several hours.
i have a macbook with iTunes library, a new iMac, and a new time capsule. how can i transfer my itunes library from TC backup to the iMac?
(sharing the iTunes library between the macbook & iMack requires both machines and seems silly ...)
thank you -

No.

When will the ability to transfer seamlessly between apple Tvs be available? I want to be able to move from one room with an Apple TV to the other, and easily transfer a movie or tv show.

No one here can answer the question (if or when that might happen). We are users here and do not speak for Apple. In fact, it violates the TOU to speculate about future Apple plans.

Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
(It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

Can I load a purchased movie from my Mac onto the iPod ?

Can I load a purchased movie from my Mac onto the iPod ?
Yes, if the iPod is a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod classic, iPod touch, or a third or fourth generation iPod nano, and the movie is in iTunes. A Fifth Generation iPod can't play rented movies.

I have just down loaded a movie on my itune using my new ipad. i have also bought and apple tv how come i cant play the movie from my ipad through the apple tv? i tried syncing the ipad to my comp and playing the movie that way but once in my itunes no mo

I've downloaded a movie on my ipad and I've hooked up my apple tv. Why can't i whatch the movie from my ipad through my apple tv? I tried synching my ipad to see if, when synched, I would see the movie on my computer in itunes. No luck there. What am I doing wrong? Why is it showing in my itunes on my ipad but the movie has disappeared when I look at my itunes on my computer so that I can watch it via Apple TV?

If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.

How do you transfer rented movies from a mac book to apple tv?

I have downloaded some movies onto my mac book pro, but want to watch them on my apple tv. How does one transfer from the computer to the ATV?

I'm pretty sure you can't. I complained about this because I couldn't even airplay a rental movie from my ipad to my Apple TV. The support team game me a free rental for my troubles and said if I want to watch rentals on my Apple TV then I must rent it from my Apple TV. The rental prices and restrictions are bad enough, not being able to stream it to my Apple TV is just ludicrous.

How can i transfer my itunes account from one mac to another?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I'm trying to stream a movie from my Mac to my Apple TV. It doesn't work.

I'm new to Apple TV. Trying to steam a movie from an app from my Mac to my Apple TV.

Is it a movie you purchased from iTunes or one you already had on your computer?
If it's one you purchased go on Apple TV>movies>purchased
If it's one on your computer: Open iTunes>file>add to library and it will put it in movie, then on AppleTV go to main menu>computer>movies, then choose it.
Make sure on your main menu on AppleTV, sharing is on. Good Luck!

HT202157 my apple tv suddenly stops working, and can't seem to detect my itunes account from my pc

My first generation apple tv frequently stops detecting my itunes account on my pc. I can't see my shared libraries on the apple tv, even after repeated attempts to reconnect. Any suggestions?

Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting. Mine started working after the update.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

Why can't I edit bookmark titles or move them to folders on the Apple Air?

I just bought an Apple Air after being a longtime PC user. My bookmarks got synched to the Apple by Xmarks, the Firefox app. Although I can use the bookmarks without problem, I can't move them, and this is particularly frustrating since I can't get them to where I want from the "newly bookmarked" tab. I also cannot edit the name of the bookmark when that option is available in the window that opens when I click on "bookmark this page" on Firefox. (I'm using Firefox 3.6).
Other than that the bookmarks work to get me to the desired site/page.Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

What broadband modem/router are you supplied with? Does it have built in wifi?
From your no 5, if there is no guest network then the TC is setup in bridge. This will remove the function of guest .. whatever Apple was smoking when they dreamed up this idea.. they need to stop it.
What I need is the IP address you are getting on the TC WAN if it is in router mode.. and the IP your iMac and air gets. I want router and dns values as well?
When the iPad or iPhone attempts to connect, what IP does it get.. plus router and dns.. it is the later two that are often the problem.
I would have a go at simply resetting the TC.. change the wireless name for 2.4ghz to short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.. and fix the wireless channel. Check what is available as Korea is not in my normal range.. 1, 6, 11 are pretty well universal though.. Try each of those channels.
Load istumbler onto the Air and see if you have thousands of wifi AP's around you.. find the lowest single channel out of the above.. do not worry too much about the inbetween ones.. they simply overlap.
