Play itunes film on tv
If I download a movie to my mbp how do i play it on my tv pls?
Thanks guys for your replies. Just to help me complete the picture: I don't know much about AV (as you might have guessed!), but I sort of expected the following to be possible (2010 mbp on SL) :
- download a movie from iTunes
- connect my mbp to my tv by an hdmi cable (both devices have hdmi ports)
- start the movie playing, whereupon it becomes visible - and audible - on the tv
- close the mbp i.e. fold the screen down
- kick back using the tv's remote to adjust the volume and the mbp's remote to pause if needed.
... applying the principle of least surprise :-) Or am I about to be surprised!
TIA, Terry.

Itunes films on external speaker
I cant play iTune film sounds by using my external Bowers & Wilkins A7. Can anyone help me?
When i stream other films from my hardrive using Apple TV, there are no problems using the external speaker.
The problems only occure when I try to play sound from films purchased or rented on iTunes...
Looking forward to hear from YouSee the user tip Make a split library portable for information. You should be able to clone the library files to local storage. Worth knowing now how to put them back on NAS for when the library needs moving to a new drive/system.
See also my script ConsolidateByMoving for a potentially easier way to move content between the NAS and the local drive.
You ought to maintain a complete copy of the library and media on a separate drive at all times as backup.

Itunes will no longer play any film?
I have recently reinstalled and authorized Itunes on my computer but i can no longer play any films which i have previoulsy paid for and downloaded?
any ideas?
Thank you,
jamesYou get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you? -

Can anyone help me fix my itunes? I have the new version of quick time but it is now telling me it wont play my films on itunes because it needs quicktime. Iv tried un installing quicktime and re installing it but that hasnt worked. I dont know why it would suddenly stop working, I watched something on it this morning.
Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
Quit iTunes first.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message? -

Error message "MPAVControllerErrorDomain error 3" will not allow me to play iTunes movie rental. I rented film 6 days ago. Please help.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
I have downloaded 4 films purchased on my Ipad to my laptop but can only play 1. The other 3 do not have a screen symbol in the list and are called ie The Lion King - Extras. How can I play the films?
Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

I can't play the films I bought!
I can't play my films or tv programmes, I just get a black screen and the controls don't work and then Itunes freezes! have tried with several. I am running them on a PC windows 7 Dell Inspiron. I spent £15 buying these!
If you had searched here you would have found the answer much quicker, but to summarize:
This game does play, just not on Macs using the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M or GeForce 320M graphics cards. The problem is related to integrated graphics cards. EA are aware of the problem. If you are able to load past the splash it can be persistently sluggish and freeze at different stages of the game. There is no possible work around for this at the current time.
So EA are the ones who will need to provide the fix.

Hi there
I play any films on my ipod but it stops play half way and goes off. It seems the battery caused the device to switched off. Music is great to listen too but, do I need to replace the battery? And how much will cost to replace from the apple shop?

How Can I play iTunes on my HDTV without Apple TV?
I am looking for an affordable method of playing iTunes on my big screen HDTV. In other words, I just want to mirror whatever is on my iMac screen on my HDTV. So I want ALL the iTunes features like the visualizer, randomizer, etc. to work without a hitch. Some people were saying they can't get the visualizer to work smoothly. And of course I want quality audio so I can utilize the soundbar on my TV to play MP3s.
I do not own an Apple TV device but I own a Google TV device called the Vizio Co-Star.
I was not able to find a Google app to simply mirror what's on my iMac onto my TV screen.
I reseached and found that there are two apps I can purchase - AirParrot and Reflector. Is this the best way of achieving what I want to do? Do I purchase both of them on my mac or do I need to purchase one of these and install on my Vizio Co-Star?
Is there a better or simpler method? I'm up for suggestions.
Thank you!
Steve
Message was edited by: Steve WiskowskiIt sounds as if you have an iMac that is over five years old, and therefore has a mini-display (instead of Thunderbolt, as found on newer iMacs) port.
Have you considered a mini-display to HDMI cable connection? Here is one (from the U.S. store):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k?fnode=51
I am certain a Thunderbolt port would transmit audio as well as video. I think the mini-display port may transmit audio, but I'm not 100% certain. -
I am using a mini display to hdmi with my macbook and the display works fine. However, the sound will only play iTunes such as music and movies but when i go online to watch movies on youtube it will not play any sound. Please help
HDCP maybe? Read this http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/26/displayport.drm.conflict/

Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?
Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
JanThat was easy. Thanks. Jan

how can i play iTunes on apple tv from my mac? i used to have an icon that synced the two but i can't find that icon anymore
If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

My iMac is authorised to play iTunes content, but my Apple TV keeps asking for me to authorise and I am unable to view content from my iTunes Library. How can I convince my Apple TV that I am authorised?
I am not exactly sure what you mean by "authorised", but I am experiencing a similar problem...or the same, in that Apple TV keeps telling me to enable home sharing in my MacBook Pro. It does not seem to recognize that home sharing is already enabled on my Laptop.
Is home sharing and "authorised" one in the same? It used to work just fine before these recent Apple TV updates.
