Apple ID 3rd Gen - sync new purchases

I have the new 3rd generation Apple TV.  The movies that I owned before I bought it now show up under Moves > Purchased, but any movies I bought since then aren't showing up.  I can stream them from my computer if I keep my computer on, but I can't figure out how to sync them.  The only help articles I've found are for first and second gen and the software isn't the same (it says to select "Sources > Syncing" on the main menu and mine doesn't have that). 
It also doesn't show up as a "Device" in my iTunes menu, but if I play a movie from iTunes, it plays on the Apple TV (but, again, I'd have to keep my computer on to do that).
This article would be awesome, except it's only for first gen:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38571
This article is for 3rd gen but doesn't tell me what to do if the movies AREN'T under purchased:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5183
I have the latest version of software on both the Apple TV and iTunes on my Macbook Pro.  I also rebooted my Apple TV and that didn't help.
Suggestions??

The Apple TV 3 doesn't show up under devices in iTunes nor does it sync (copy) content from iTunes.
Being able to redownload purchased movies is a new feature available only in the US and only with movies from some studios, it may well be that your recent purchases were from the studios not participating in the scheme.

  • Apple TV (3rd gen)wont play purchased movies

    Having an issue with playing my purchased movies. The issue is that I click play on the movie I want and the gray circle shows like its loading then it reverts back to the play screen again. I have reset it to factory and after 8 minutes or so when it comes up it allows me to play and watch 1 movie. After I stop the movie or try to go into a different movie it no longer works and I have the same issue again. I have checked my firewall and my Avg they are not the issue. I have reset my Internet and the same problem continues. Air play, HBO to go, Netflix all work no issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Same problem -- click play, changes to "loading screen" for a few seconds, then flashes back to the "play" screen. I also can't purchase other movies. The first two times I tried,  the "are you sure purchase buttons" screen, click it and it flashes back to the movie not screen. Just now, I tried again after restarting, It got me to a screen that required my security code for my credit card. After I put it in, it said I'd have to go to iTunes to finish the authorization. The first time I tried through my iTunes account, it said the service wasn't available. The second time, it let me enter the numbers. Now, back to the Apple TV, again, it wants the security code again. Several attempts failed.
    Now, trying to download a free iphone game: iTunes story is temporarily unavailable.
    I'm persistant.
    Added:
    Apple TV is running 6.0.
    Netflix plays fine.
    Music (itunes match) plays fine.

  • When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
    Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
    Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

  • Can't Login to YouTube on Apple TV (3rd Gen) (YT and Gmail merged)

    So, I am unable to log in to my YouTube account on my Apple TV (3rd Gen).  I have read a lot of suggestions and nothing has helped.  In like 2006 I got my YouTube User Name, then in like 2009 I got my Gmail.  Google bought YouTube, they merged so I have a YouTube UN and Gmail Account.  I've tried logging in with each.  I've tried using the the 2-step verification, and application specific password.  But to no avail, not working.  Im getting either this Username can't be used on this device for the gmail account log in info.  And unable to login with this Username/password for YouTube UN. 
    Anyone have any suggestions!  This is really frustrating! 
    Thanks Brad

    I had problems back way back in the day with my gmail login so I made a new one (youtube user) for test and that worked fine
    not even sure it's possible anymore to make a pure youtube user you can troubleshoot by checking if it is

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

  • Using Apple TV (3rd gen) as a remote speaker from original Apple TV (1st gen)

    Just got my new Apple TV (3rd gen) - discovered I can't AirPlay to multiple speakers from it like my old Apple TV (1st gen). As a workaround, can I use the old Apple TV just for music, using the new Apple TV as one of its airplay speakers? Can't seem to. The 3rd gen Apple TV doesn't appear on the original apple TVs list of airplay speakers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks, and thanks for your reply.
    Yes, that does work - from iTunes I can see both apple TVs fine as options in the multiple airplay speakers - I was just really hoping to leave the main computer off and play my music from either the original apple tv's hdd or my iphone.
    Prior to buying the new 3rd gen Apple TV I had been doing that for a while, using the original Apple TV to airplay music to speakers connected to its own optical out and via airplay to an express in the dining room.
    It's odd that I can see both apple TVs and the express from the multiple speakers option from iTunes, but I can only see the express (and itself) from the original apple TV's multiple speakers menu. (Original Apple TV has been updated to latest software.) Maybe it's just too old to know about the new Apple TV.
    Has anyone managed to get an original Apple TV to airplay to multiple speakers where one of those speakers is another Apple TV?

  • Apple TV 3rd Gen - iTunes Movies Not Showing Up???

    I have Apple TV 3rd Gen (latest) but for some reason my previously purchased itunes movies are not showing up anywhere on the system.  The content was purchased on my previous Apple TV 1 and stored in a connected itunes library via my iMac.  The TV shows are all there and eveything else seems to be working find.  Home sharing is ON. Does anyone know why?

    Changing the store setting in itunes store  helped me get the store back

  • IPad 2 no full screen mirroring on Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi People,
    I reacentley purchased an Apple TV 3rd Gen and I tried the mirror function with my iPad 2 running iOS 6.0.1. When playing games or viewing the home screen, it is centered on my HD TV.
    can you change this?
    Zuga01

    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone and aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

  • HT1600 Apple TV 3rd Gen Netflix issues

    We have recently purchased an apple TV 3rd gen and Netflix worked for about a week and has not since.  All updates are in.... can anyone suggest what needs to be done?  We bought it for Netflix and not any better than the WD or Boxee we tried....so far.

    Just found this:
    http://m.techcrunch.com/2013/09/22/apple-tv-6-0-update-pulled-after-users-report -bricking-other-issues/
    I will consider myself lucky that it didn't update yet. I will just wait patiently till the bugs are worked out.

  • 2014 Macbook Pro Retina crashes when extending display to Apple TV 3rd Gen

    2014 Macbook Pro Retina running Mavericks 10.9.5 crashes and restarts every time I Extend Desktop in Airplay to new Apple TV 3rd Gen running latest update.

    Hello Freytag,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was getting recurring kernel panics when using an external display. 
    First, I recommend troubleshooting the connection with the external display.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the article below.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but the following steps specifically stands out to me for the situation you are experiencing:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    If you continue expereince kernel panics, I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting a recurring kernel panic" in the article below to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue:
    OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Air play videos smoothly even through Apple TV 3rd gen and 8MBPS connection?

    Mine is a new MacBook Air and new Apple TV 3rd Gen, however whenever I try to play videos from my Mac Air, the videos are choppy. My internet connection is 8MBPS and both my devices connect on the Ethernet, not cabled. Please help as the Apple TV doesnt play Youtube videos either.

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    From the Safari menu bar, select

    If you use a FireWire audio interface, disconnect it and test again.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

    Apple TV: How to use your Apple remote for Apple TV

  • TS3972 How can I access the files(movies,music,etc) in my Apple Time Capsule(4th Gen) from my Apple TV(3rd Gen). This is very frustrating Apple has not provided a basic feature, and me buying the Time Capsule and Apple TV is an complete waste of bucks.

    I have an Apple TV (3rd Gen) and Apple Time Capsule (4th Gen). How can I access Movies and Music stored in the Time Capsule from Apple TV. This is very  n't give frustrating that Apple doesn't give their customers with an straight forward access to their customers in between their own products. Iam repenting that buying these products is completely waste of bucks. Appreciate your help...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Time Capsule is clearly announced as a router with a hard drive to make backups, not to store anything and share it with your Apple TV.
    To access to movies and music from the Time Capsule, note that the Apple TV can only access to them if they are stored in your iTunes library, so you will have to put your movies and music into iTunes to access to them, and then, put your iTunes library on the Time Capsule in order to access to your data from there
