Air playing iTunes Movies

Will Apple TV Airplay iTunes movies whilst downloading? The reason I was asking is because I got Apple TV and each time I was trying to stream wirelessly from my iPad/iPhone it failed with a copyright error message.
I did however try again once the film (x men: first class) had finished downloading from iCloud on my devices and it worked without issue
I have probably answered my own question but I had thought HDCP and HDMI played a role in this issue, and reassurance is needed to confirm I have purchased something with keeping
Thanks

Where are the movies playing from? iTunes on the computer, streaming from the iTunes store? Netflix? some other streaming app?

I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

Hi komansava,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
You can find this information here:
Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support
Best Regards,

Playing iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I have the opitcal cable working. I have changed the channel seletion to surround on the movie and there is no audio. So, in short, I want to use my MacBook Pro to play iTune movies in 5.1 on a surround system. Currently, I am running OS X 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1. I can play DVD's back in 5.1, so this must be an iTunes issue. Please help.
Thanks,
Kim

Channel selection on the receiver right?
Also, do a "Get Info" on the file you are attempting to play in iTunes. Does it show Surround (or something similar) for the "Channels" tag?
In any case, I found the following:

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")

How to sync and play itunes movies in 1080p hd on iPhone 4S/5/5s or iphone 6 plus

About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p.... So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
<Edited By Host>

Currently There is only one option to watch 1080P movies from iTunes on your Apple devices... With a sync with a laptop.. Apple by default sends the 720P file... Users have no option to control video download... Some like me want the full file... Some uses may think the 720P file is fine... However I see the difference... And it is big.. The iPhone has a 1080P camera... So it can play and store a 1080P file... And the screen does display a better image... Just watching a iTunes movie and shooting a video in 1080P on your iPhone and you can see the image is better.. YES it's 1080P... not 720... Apple has know from release of iPhone 5 on September 21,2012 iPhone can play 1080P file... However the system is overloaded as I seen on my Apple T.V. On Christmas say ready to pay is 8 hours 22 minutes... I pay for 50MBps download and 5MBps download.. fastest I can get in my area... It's obvious it will load Apple's network and the don't want to make the changes... Users now wanting 1080p files for iPhones/iPads.... The system load would jump off the scale... I contacted Apple told them the issues, currently they have stopped emailing me replies on the issue after issue was escalated to Apple engineers... Apple knows... Yet...
I want control of what file I download into my device over Wi-Fi... Apple has missed the ball for over two years... Missed it rolling down the hall... Missed it bouncing down the stairs.... Missed it as it rolled across the street and is still going with no fix yet....

Wifi hardrive to play itunes movies on an ipad?

I am looking for a way to play my movies purchased through itunes on my ipad when i am traveling. I have over 100 gb of movies so my ipad wont hold them all.
I already have an old seagate golfex satelite that allows me to play movies not purchased through itunes on my ipad. I just cant seemt ot play my movies purchased through itunes.
Is there a program that will allow me to do this?
Is there a newer/different wi fi enabled portable HD that will allow me to do this?
thanks

Most HDMI converters are unreliable. If you want to send the video to the TV and it has an HDMI port buy an adapter to go from your iPad mini to HDMI. Apple sells one both for 30 pin iPads and lightning connector iPads.

Computer blue screen while playing itunes movies

In the middle of a purchased, itunes movie, my computer suddenly emits a horrible sound before the blue screen of death appears. I have to manually hold down the power button to shut down the computer. I have the latest itunes updates. Any suggestions?

"It is really frustrating and have no idea *why it is not happening with the computer tech guys."*
+"I have a hard drive hooked up to the computer"+
The +"tech guys"+ when troubleshooting do not have any devices hooked up to the computer except maybe a keyboard. Did you take your comp to an Apple Store, an AASP or a comp repair shop that fixes PCs & Macs or just PCs?
Have you tried troubleshooting w/o the external HD?

Playing itunes movies from macbook to Projector over HDMI

Hi,
I'd like to play moves that are in my itunes library over an HDMI connection to a projector. I think that I will need to buy a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.
Is there anything else that I need to know about settings for this?.. do I have to allocated my thunderbolt port as HDMI or anything?
Any display setting that I should know about such as resolution etc?
I was thinking about getting this projector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9S3OOC/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=& seller=
Thanks

it's dvd's DRM encryption kicking in
it's by design if you use remote desktop from another computer to the computer
the same thing would happen
people say that the free player vlc don't have the issue
if that is the case then vlc are breaking the law as stripping a dvd's movie stream of encryption is not really legal

Can't play iTunes movie rental because of QuickTime error????

Dear All,
I just rented and downloaded an HD movie from iTunes ("Despicable Me"), but can't play it, because instead I get the error message: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
I do have QuickTime (V.10.1) as well as the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4).
How can I solve this supposed incompatibility problem?
Or can I at least get a refund or credit on the unused rental?
Thank you!!!

When I read your post, I checked my version of QuickTime, and see that it is version 10.2.
Then I noticed you are not running Mountain Lion - you are still on Lion per your post.
I don't know for sure if that's the problem, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
