Sky Go content won't play on Apple TV 2nd Gen

I have a UK Sky Go account and can download video to iPad.  When I activate Airplay to Apple TV 2nd Gen it will not display. Apple TV works fine with iTunes downloaded content.
Any options/ideas to get this working??

While I am pretty sure I had tried it, I just did a little rearrangement within my stereo cabinet which resulted in moving the Apple TV to another shelf.  And of course unplugging it to move cables.   After powering it up and redoing some of the setup, the movie plays properly.   So maybe a power cycle was needed.   Or maybe the problem resolved itself and the power cycle just coincidently happened at the same time.   Either way, my problem has been resolved.

  • Help! iPhone 4 won't connect to Apple TV (2nd gen)

    I just got a new ATV today and everything seems to be working. It's able to connect to iTunes and play songs and movies and display pictures. I'm trying to set up my iPhone 4 as a remote, but am having some issues. The Apple TV shows up in the list of libraries, but when I select it, the animated "thinking" icon shows up on the right but keeps going and never connects.
    Any suggestions on how to get around this? Any help would be appreciated.

    There are reports of network issues only after adding the new ATV to the network wirelessly. Personally my iPhone 4 works pretty well but at times might become sluggish.
    As for the two libraries that is correct. Its detecting iTunes on your computer and the ATV. What you select depends on what you want to do.
    Select Apple TV if you wanting to use the iPhone as a touch remote to directly control movement and selection while viewing the ATV interface on your screen and want complete access to ATV2 features.
    Select Apple TV then select a computer *from the list on the iPhone* to browse iTunes library content on the iPhone but have it playback music and videos on the TV. This is for music, music videos and movies in your iTunes Library only.
    Select computer instead of Apple TV to browse iTunes library content on the iPhone. Select Apple TV as the Remote Speaker from the iPhone interface. Audio will play through ATV or stereo depending on how your audio is hooked up. Music album art and info will display on TV. This is best for when you just want to listen to music. Its also the only way that allows you to control the volume directly from your iPhone.

  • How do I play iTunes LP content on Apple TV 2nd gen?

    I've just upgraded my Apple TV 2nd gen, and iTunes on my Mac.
    I can't figure it out. Is it possible to play iTunes LP content ("CDs extras") on Apple TV?

    No, only AppleTV 1 did that and until recently ony AppleTV 1 did iTunes Extras.
    iTunes Extras have just been added so maybe hope for itunes LP, though I gather Extras is streaming only and old itunes downloaded Extras may (I haven't tested yet) be incompatible.

  • Apple TV 2nd gen. When I rented movies from iTunes they won't play - says Loading error please try again later .....but never works

    HI.
    I rented two movies on my apple TV 2nd gen. and they won't play.
    When we try to play them it tries to load it and then says there is a loading error and try again later, but it never works.
    Has anyone else had similar? Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

    Same issue. Apple has my $4.99 and I have no movie!

  • HD movies with iTunes extra won't play on Apple TV.Tried to repurchase and message states, "Already purchased, would you like to view now?" Submitted "YES" and am taken to movie's menu with iTunes extra with no tab for 'PLAY'. Menu won't work at all.

    Several movies I purchased won't play on Apple TV. They don't show up on my Apple TV menu, and if I search for them, the "Purchase HD movie" tab shows up. When I try to re-purchase, states "Already Purchased- would you like to view now". I answer "YES" and I'm taken to a screen without a "Play" tab. Other tabs such as "Extras" are frozen and don't work. Unable to see the movie or any of the iTunes extras.

    Hey there storytellerstudios,
    I see that you are having an issue with some purchased movie extras from iTunes on your Apple TV.  I would like to suggest that you use the following link to help you report an issue with these purchases to iTunes:

    Does that mean you cannot move it to the TC and plug in by ethernet? What does bypass mean?
    I would still move it closer to the TC.. and just trial it there. Range on some AC models for 2.4ghz is worse than old one. For some people.
    Another thing to try is fixed wireless channels.. one of the very few options still available in the AC model.. lock the 2.4ghz to 11, 6, 1 .. try it in that order.

  • Apple TV (2nd gen) not showing up as a device in iTunes

    Hi all,
    I have this problem. The Apple TV (2nd gen) does not show up in iTunes under devices, and I really don't know why.
    Mac OSX 10.6.5
    iTunes 10.1
    AppleTV 2nd gen with latest update installed
    Network is a WiFi Airport Extreme (Mac and AppleTV are indeed on the same private network)
    Airplay works, home sharing works fine. Remote App on iPad and iPhone works.
    But the AppleTV is not showing up under devices.
    I had a 1st gen AppleTV which I reverted to "factory settings" before unplugging. The 2nd gen ATV had the same name as the 1st gen at the beginning, but I changed it afterwards figuring it might be related.
    Under iTunes > preferences I had the AppleTV tab. But I did read somewhere on Apple's site you have to "delete" the AppleTV from the list. So I did, and now the tab cannot be found anymore...
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance.

    I seem to recall though that I have seen a screenshot somewhere on the web where iTunes showed the ATV 2nd gen as a device.
    Not seen that, but the old ones have a logo that look (to me) like the new one, or at least a small darker grey than they are - they show up nicely in the iPad/iPhone Remote app though
    If you are right it would be huge disappointment!
    I believe I am correct as I've got new/old AppleTVs connected to 3 Macs and a dual boot Mac Pro currently, and the new unit has never appearede under devices.
    .... I really HATE the interface organization right now. Why on planet earth do I have to go under "devices" -> "computer" -> "music" just to play some music?
    You, me and many other AppleTV 1 users. I think they'd finally got it right in 3.02 for AppleTV 1 which is a much nicer user interface. Basically now the majority of the top level columns are unused by many people who don't rent but want to playback theit iTunes media.
    I firmly believe Apple see this new AppleTV as a relatively cheap accessory for iPads/iPhones/iPods to show video/photos via Airplay on your TV without using a computer.
    Secondly it's a vehicle for pushing itunes Store rentals, but for the majority of worldwide users they can only get Movie rentals, and Netflix is of no use bar in a few countries (US/Canada).
    I would have much more preferred that a "music" tab (it also applies to all other tabs, movies, tv series and so on) and then just a list of all "home sharing" connected computers from which I could pick the one where the music is stored. Or even, and being Apple it surprises me they didn't implement it, just the list of the available music on my network, with a little tab indicating in which computer it is located.
    Yes that would make absolute sense - a dynamic list of available content based on connected libraries that changes as new libraries appeared on/left the local network.
    The new menu organisation is quite shoddy to me, ut many users new to AppleTV like it and rave about the devices not knowing what the old one could do - it's a good device don't get me wrong, but I still prefer the older units except for their power consumption and the fact I feel they are more likely to fail due to their high temps and mechanical hard drives.
    But here I'm venturing FAR off topic.
    Don't think so, it's a valid comment.

    Thank you for your help anyway. I wait for confirmation of somebody else just to make sure...
    Fair enough.

    It appears that this is due to firmware corruption and you can fix it by using the micro USB cable and hooking it to iTunes.  I have not tried it yet but supposedly several people were able to resolve their problem this way.  If you do try it, let me know.  I don't have the cable at this time.

  • Question for audiophiles using Airplay with Apple TV 2nd Gen

    I'm using AirPlay on my iphone to play music to the Apple TV 2nd gen. (running optical out of AppleTV into high quality Rotel receiver)  I'm hearing what I believe is best called "pumping" in the audio: the volume is modulating in waves, and the music sounds distant.  I can't figure out what would cause this.  I've got excellent signal strength so I don't think it's a bandwidth problem where the devices might be over-compressing and thus introducing artifacts.
    I've done A/B comparisons with the same song, hardwired to my receiver, and I've heard it on all the tracks I'm streaming, so I know it's not in the recording.
    Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?  Thanks.

    Sorry, I can only offer sympathies and the fact that I also had this issue with wired connections, using XBMC on my Mac Mini to play out to an Audiolab M-DAC. Unfortunately I made lots of changes trying to set up my Media Center, so I don't know what made it go away!
    Just saying that it's not neccessarily an Airplay issue.
