  • How do i watch movie rentals i rented on my imac but view on my apple TV

    How do I watch movie rentals I rented on my iMac but view on my apple TV?

    How do I watch movie rentals I rented on my iMac but view on my apple TV?
    Sounded like a good question to me but nobody seemed willing to respond. So... as I had never rented a movie, I decided to test the work flow on one of the $0.99 "specials" found on iTunes. For my test, I selected "Dark House." The 943.5 MB SD movie downloaded in about 8 minutes to the "Store/Downloads" area in the  iTunes app on my older PPC computer—most likely a volatile cache area as I could not locate a physical file at the Finder level. In any case, it seems that if you select the file in the "iTunes/Downloads" tab, it appears you can play the file locally on the computer (later confirmed this). However, as I wanted to take advantage of the my ethernet connection to my main HDTV, I went to that TV2 device connected to it and checked it's local menu. Sure enough, I found the movie available in a newly added "Rentals" menu that now displayed between the "Music" and "Movies" sub-menus within my own iTunes Library menu.
    Be advised that starting file takes a second or two of extra time each time the you quit/restart playback as it seems the movie must be "re-authorized" for the device each time. Further, the rental can only be played on one device at a time. That is, if you want to switch from the device to another, you must close the playback sub-menu for the current device before opening the file on an alternative device. In my case, I tested switching the movie back and forth between an TV2 device and the iTunes player.
    Hope that answers your question as I plan to go and watch the move now. If nothing else, this was a learning experience for me. Quality was typical for the data rate and I had no problems viewing the content on my system. I also like the fact that chapter "descriptors" were used for this content rather than the default chapter numbers I normally use.

  • HT1657 I downloaded a movie that I rented. I can't find it to play.  Any suggestions

    I downloaded 2 movies that I rented.  New to iTunes. I can't find them to play  Any suggestions?

    If you've downloaded them directly on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) - if they are not in there then are they hidden by a film age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?

  • HT1338 Why does the iPhoto that came installed on my iMac not update with Software Update?

    I have iPhoto v9.1.5 that came pre-installed on my iMac. However, although there have been newer versions available on the App Store (currently up to v9.2.3) there have never been any updates available in "Software Update".
    Weirder still, when I go to the App Store, iPhoto is one of the apps showing as available to update. But when I click to update, the App Store sometimes tells me I "must log-in with the account used to purchase the application", and sometimes that "only apps purchased from the App Store can be updated". I've tried both the accounts I have with the App Store, but same result each time.
    I had a very disappointing experience with Apple Customer Support, speaking to several people in different departments - none of whom could explain why I couldn't update iPhoto, nor offering any kind of fix. Not what you expect from Apple!
    Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this? v9.1.5 ***** on so many levels - but then maybe v9.2.3 is just as bad and I should just trash it and use something else anyway..... Any advice will be considered!

    I've since found other posts on this issue (like https://discussions.apple.com/message/16434345#16434345), so at least I'm not the only one. Seems that Apple are being incredibly slow to resolve this. The only solution I've read is to get my hands on an iLife installation disc - and amazingly, none of the techs on the phone (I've spoken to several) have come up with this solution!
    But is there any other way?

  • I am really frustrated - is it possible to view a DVD that is playing on my iMAC, on my HDTV through Apple TV??

    I have been trying to figure out how to view a DVD movie that is playing on my iMAC, onto my HDTV through Apple TV... I am not getting the "conventional" Apple TV icon on my IMac Screen. I have the AirplayIt app ... Can anyone assist?

    Firstly, not all Macs will do AirPlay mirroring.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
    Secondly, Apple's DVD application blocks AirPlay use for licensing reasons, you would need to use a third party DVD application such as VLC.

  • HT1657 If I decide to buy a movie that I rented, can the price of the rental be discounted from the sale price?

    No, you will still need to pay the full price, whether you've previously rented it isn't taken into account.

    I bought a license for Lr a few years back and installed it on a mac laptop.  I want to move that license to my new iMac and remove it from my old laptop. How? 
    I downloaded Lr on the new iMac but there does not seem to be a way of "registering" the software to give it functionality. 
    Thanks!!!

    Your Lightroom License key is,
    1. Cross platform Mac and or Win.
    2. It is a single user / owner.
    3. You can have two installations active with one in use at any point in time.
    4. There is no deactivate process like other Photoshop products.
    5. You can uninstall / install as many times as you need as long as you keep the spirit of the license.
    6. The license key is specific to the Lightroom version, i.e License key for LR 4 will not work for LR 5.
    7. You can upgrade i.e. purchase from any version of Lightroom 1,2,3,4 to the latest LR 5.

  • HT1657 why does every movie I download stops half way and says err=-50/err=-39?

    Why does every movie I download stop half way and say err=-50/err-39? I also have internet connection that is really good and it keeps saying to check that

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • A movie that I rented continues to download endlessly. Any suggestions?

    The screen keeps reading "ready to play in __ minutes"   The minutes keep going up and down ranging from as low as 19 to as much as over an hour.  The network is fine as other devices within the house all are working just fine when tested.

    Sounds as htough your network speed is variable (other devices could be using bandwidth leaving less for AppleTV?).
    Your connection is presumably (to internet) less than 6 Mbps which is needed for near instant playback due to large size of HD movie files.
    When that's the case the unit will calculate current internet sped and how long it will take to download enough movie to play - if the speed is not constant the calculation will change.
    Also if you do other things with AppleTV2 while waiting (eg view trailers, play local content) you may reset the download to start agai which is annoying thing.

  • HT1498 Where is my movie that I rented from my iPad to view with Apple TV?

  • HT1353 why are card games that are free on my phone not free for my mac

    I am wondering why the card games that I play for free on my iPhone and iPad (and PC as well) are not free for my Mac through iTunes?  It makes no sense.  I have a new 13" apple macbook pro laptop running yosemite.  

    iTunes does not sell anything for your Mac.
    You would have to buy apps from the Mac Apps store for your Mac.
    They may differ in price, because they are not the same thing.  One is an iOS app, then  other is a computer app.
    The maker of the app can choose what to charge for and what not to charge for.  It could be that one contains ads and the other does not.
    At the end of the day, then maker of the apps decides what to charge or if to charge.
