How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?  I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
Can anyone help?

You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

  • Can't watch purchased movies on Apple TV

    I purchased movies on Apple TV but I can't watch them through Apple TV, only through my computer. They are in 'Purchased on Apple tv" on iTunes but when I browse Apple TV, they are nowhere to be found. Do I need to transfer them somehow somewhere? Thanks!

    Purchases made on the tv will at some point transfer themselves back to itunes, this will enable you to back them up and protect them against loss. Providing your sync/stream options are set accordingly you should then see them either be synced or streamed to the tv for viewing.

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

    How can I watch a movie I purchased ?

    If you purchased and downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies section of your iTunes library and you should be able to play it from there. If you downloaded it on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then it should be in the Videos app on that device - and if it's not a rental you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases so that you take a backup of it.

  • How can I force purchases from one apple id to another?

    We bought my childrens music under my wife's apple ID but now we are split up.  I can transfer the purchases to my itunes and make all new purchases under my apple id but cannot update those purchased under her apple id, I guess it remembers where it was purchased.  How can I make them under my apple id so we can update them?

    You can't. All purchases under an Apple ID are forever tied to that ID and cannot be transferred.

  • HT2499 How can I watch a movie and have two subtitle tracks at once?

    How can I watch a DVD using Mountain Lion's DVD player with multiple subtitle tracks, such as english and chinese, simultaineously?

    This will depend on the media player. I do not believe DVD Player in OS X offers this, and don't think even versatile players like VLC or MPlayer support it. Most give you the option for one subtitle track at a time.
    One option is to use a transencoder like Handbrake to rip the DVD and "burn in" one of the subtitle tracks but include the others. This way the burned in one will always display, and you can then enable the second one. It's a bit of a workaround, but will ultimately do what you're looking for.

  • How can I watch purchased itunes shows on my tv w/o apple tv?

    I bought the Futurama season pass and I want to watch the episodes in 50 inch HD, but I don't have apple tv and myimac is too far from the tv for a cable so how can I do this?
    I have a google tv box that will talk to my pc laptop, and an xbox 360 with a program called xbox connect that tricks the xbox into thinking my imac is a pc so i can stream music and videos but i cant get purchased itunes videos.
    can i authorize the pc laptop on my itunes account and copy the shows to it and then play them on the google tv box via the pc? (im at work and i cant just try it myself)

  • Can't watch purchased content on Apple TV-?

    Hi there,
    I am an American living in Saudi Arabia. I have purchased my Apple TV from the United States when I was there last and it is the 2nd generation. I have updated the software to 5.1.1. I have a few accounts on my Apple TV, but I am unable to play any purchased content on it. Everytime I try to play a Movie or TV Show from one of the accounts in my family, it says "An error occured loading this content. Try again later". How can I fix this?
    Streaming through Airplay from any device (iTouch, iPhone, or Macbook Pro) works just fine, but playing purchased content through Apple TV directly does not work. It shows all my purchased content, but it will not play any of it. My iTunes store location is set to United States, as all of our accounts in the family are US accounts.
    Also, previewing Movies and TV Shows in the iTunes store works fine as well. Its only watching purchased content.
    Thank you!

    Hi
    I doubt it's the new update, I don't know if this is an issue specific to AppleTV but if you can play on the laptop it would seem unlikely it's because the content is blocked due to your location.
    Have you unplugged AppleTV and restarted since changing the settings?  This can sometimes help fix odd behaviour and quick to do.
    Hopefully somone doing teh same thing will chime in to confirm it works in Saudi Arabia with US content.
    You could enquire with Apple and itunes store via:

  • HT1657 how can i watch the movie that i rent the downloading of the movie is not good

    I don t know how to watch the movie can you show me how

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
