Apple trailers on apple tv2

I just purchased an aTV2 and wanted to watch some of the trailers that are available on apple @ http://trailers.apple.com/
I can watch trailers from the in theaters catagory but not any other trailers that are listed on trailers.apple.com.
Is there a way to watch these trailers?

Welcome to the Apple community.
There isn't anyway to manually enter URLs on the Apple TV which means the only trailers available are those you access through the standard interface.

  • Problem watching trailers in Apple Web Site only

    hi,
    suddenly i have an odd prolbem in watching trailers at Apple's web site.
    when im loading a trailer, it just indicating that the trailer is loaded and nothing happens, and the QuickTime Player is not even starting.
    i have the latest version of quicktime, flash and shockwave and in other web sites i succeeded playing trailers , its only reproducing in apple site for some reason.
    when i double Clicked on the bottom of the IExplorer to see Error messages,
    i saw some quicktime error however i don't know if this error is related to the problem. the Error Message is : AC.Quicktime is null or not an object.
    by the way, i don't think that this is the cause but im using Iexlporer 6 and not 7.
    waiting for your reply,
    A.T

    Amir, I'm also having a similar problem with watching trailers on Apple's site. I've tried with many of them.
    Clicking on the "Small" button under "Standard" plays the movie fine inside of the browser. Clicking "480p" under "HD" takes focus away from the browser after a few seconds (and I can see QuickTimePlayer.exe appearing in Task Manager), but then nothing happens. The process, after a bunch of initial activity, just sits at zero CPU, going up to 2% periodically, as if checking on something. The player window never appears.
    Here's what is more strange: if I click on the same trailer link again, it somehow kicks QuickTimePlayer.exe in the butt and soon two players will appear, one for each time I clicked. I've even tried this with other trailers, and clicking on the second one is (so far) a sure way for the player to finally do something besides sit in memory.
    I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 and QuickTime 7.6. I've tried with both Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and there's no difference in the behavior of the QuickTimePlayer. Other .mov files on the hard drive (like the sample.mov in the Program Files\QuickTime directory) play instantly. The QuickTime plug-in for IE still works for .mov files on other sites and other media (.aiff, etc.)... just not for the movies on Apple's own site
    I haven't seen any warnings/errors, JavaScript is on, and I'm accepting the Active X notification on Apple's site.
    What is wrong, I wonder?

  • When I try to play videos on Apple's website, "missing plug-ins" appears. The same happens when I try to play Apple trailers. Other "users" on the same iMac don't have this problem.

    Thank you again. :-))

  • Apple  trailers won't play

    i downloaded Divx Player and now i cant't watch trailers on the apple trailers page. i get sound but no video. can anyone help?

    Uninstall the Divx Player, repair permissions, restart your computer.  Either use Quicktime 10 or Quicktime 7 which is located inside your Utility Folder.
    Still having trouble?  Install Perian, repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation.

  • Apple Trailers - not a chance on a clamshell?

    Hello
    When did trailers from Apple stop working on the iBooks?
    I have a 466 SE that my son had been using with OSX Tiger, but I have since upgraded him to a G4. My plan is to donate the G3 to my niece, and I was fussing around and noticed that no trailers will play. I remember a couple years ago the "low" quality ones would play just fine and dandy, but now? Neither the "iPod" nor "low" will play in any reasonable way. How is it that this computer can decode DVDs on the fly for playback, but cannot handle the low quality H.264? I wish Apple would go back to the old .mov files for "low".
    Is there any way to get these trailers to play?
    iBook SE Graphite 466   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   320MB

    Have you got Quicktime updated to the latest state? ( Apple Menu > Software Update... > ). 
    The specs for playing back H264 are high (link). I guess is the processing required to decode H264 versus decoding MPEG2.

  • Unable to view Apple Trailers in Chrome

    When trying to view trailers on Apple's website, Google Chrome (Version 38.0.2125.44 beta (64-bit)) tells me I need QuickTime, despite the fact that Google Support says, "QuickTime is included on Mac computers," and QuickTime comes as part of OS X Mavericks. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Haha, and people wonder why apple folks are pretentious! Thanks for the advice 213JB and Csound1!
    I also am having this problem, and the "use apple products if you want apple products to work" argument is not helpful at all!

  • Quicktime works for Apple QT test page but not for Apple trailers

    Hi
    I'm using XP Pro SP2. I've installed the latest QT 7.1.3. Looking at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
    QT works fine. But on going to any of the websites at Apple trailers I just get QT with a question mark logo.
    I've read the posts with similar problems but there seem to be no definitive answers.
    Is it possible for anyone in Apple to suggest a solution.
    Thanks

    If you go to your account page there should be a Downloadable Software Purchases link on the left, and that takes you to a page that should show your QT Pro number.

  • Apple Trailers won't play after update to Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and the only glitch I have encountered is that Apple Trailers will not play. The computer screen darkens and the movie viewer screen pops up, but the viewer screen remains black and no movie appears. I have tried reinstalling Snow Leopard and updating to 10.6.1, but still no trailers. Any idea what's going on and what I should do? Many thanks.

    Mine seems fine, but you might post a link to a specific trailer.
    It's possible it may be Flash related, some early disks broke Flash.
    What version of QuickTime do you have? Which browser are you using?

  • I can't play apple trailers on my  macbook pro

    I keep getting this when i try to play trailers on apple site..my computer has quicktime player - this only recently started happening - what's going on?

    I have the same problem and I tried installing and unistalling Silverlight from my system but did not work. I had a chat with someone on Netflix and he told me that this is a Silverlight problem an Mac and the browser who use it, he refer me to use Google Chrome instead because don't need Silverlight and it worked. Now for Netflix on my Macbook I'll use Chrome.

  • Why did apple trailers and quicktime stop working together all of a sudden?

    I'm running Chrome and Firefox and Apple Trailers suddenly stopped launching HD trailers through Quicktime X. It was working automatically a few weeks ago. The only info i can find on the net is years old. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone fix it?
    Thanks.

    I've been having the same problem, I think since updating to Lion. HD trailers will only load through Safari, no other browser.

  • Quicktime 10.0 will not play apple trailers from site. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 - site directs me to download - then states I have it already - all software updated.  What do I do?

    It is Correct for your Current OS = Leopard = 10.5.8
    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download...
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    In the US...
    1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • Playing quicktime videos other than apple trailers

    Hi everyone,,,I just got a Touch, but can't play quicktime videos on my site or any other, besides the ones on the apple trailers page. Is it normal, do I need to update the software????? Thank you for your help...and Happy New Year!!!
    This is my site:http://web.mac.com/germandelamoneda/iWeb/Site/Home.html

    yes, you can watch videos on webpages.. You go to the webpage and instead of seeing the vdideo on the page you will see a little play button, you press that and it opens the video up in a player...
    I only tested it on 1.1.2

  • The movie trailers via AppleTV are not up-to-date with trailers on Apple's web site... why?

    I love my Apple TV. I have no problems using it whatsoever. There's just this one issue.
    The movie trailers I see on AppleTV are not up-to-date with the movie trailers on Apple's web site. I'm hoping there is a user tweek that would resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,
    Adam

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't believe the trailers are from the same source, which would explain why they are not necessarily the same.

  • Apple Trailers question...

    Hey guys, I posted this on the Final Cut forum but I thought this might also be viable here since it's also a Quicktime issue.
    I was wondering if you could enlighten me with how to get my videos online to stream as fast and as high quality as the movies on the Apple Trailers site.
    I know they use h264 settings, but I can't seem to place what bit rate they use, and how they have that fine balance between good quality and fast streaming. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with Apple's fast servers, but I was hoping to find a setting in FCP that will let me show my videos online as close to this quality as possible. Youtube quality not an option, it irritates me because a lot of a film's elements are lost in pixelization.
    I downloaded a trailer from Apple Trailers and here's the info:
    Dimensions: 480x260
    Codecs: H.264. AAC. Timecode
    Channel Count: 2
    Duration: 02'29
    File size: 14mb
    So as you can see, the bit rate isn't specified.
    I have a .mac account and use FCP 4.5 and I'm looking forward to experiment. Hope you guys can help me out. Thanks very much!

    I tried using the settings above with 500kbps as my bit rate, and it estimates around 3+ hours to render out (this is a 6 minute film using Final Cut Pro, 1GB of RAM). Does it usually take this long?It sounds excessive to me, but then you have not indicated what source (SD or HD) you are sharting with, what filters may have been applied, whether or not your clip is being "rendered" before conversion, or what mode (single-pass or multi-pass) you are using. For instance, if you have selected multi-pass, then encoding in a single-pass mode may cut your time in half. If you are starting with an HD file and are targeting it for a two thirds of the of the trailer target data rate, then additional iterations are likely required to reduce the data rate to the lower target level. Since you did not say what target dimension you are using, you may be forcing extra iterations to here also. I normally use a 512 Kbits/sec (480 Kbps video + 32 Kbps mono) for a 320 x 240 H.264/AAC Baseline profile encode. Other tricks would be to lower the target size during encode and play the file back at a larger size. Here is a 516 Kbps Sample file if you want to look it over and check out the settings.

  • Apple Trailers?  Any luck?  Unlimited ipod touch storage?

    You guys have any luck getting www.apple.com/trailers/iphone to work?
    If the ability to play quicktime videos easily becomes reliable...then this story becomes very interesting I think.
    http://9to5mac.com/trick-wifi-ipod-touch-iphone-unlimited-storage-2343452

    I think the problem is only with specific pages on the apple trailers web site and not a bug with the Touch. My iPhone will go to the iPhone formatted pages (/trailers/iphone/fox/hitman) just fine. My coworker's Touch will try to go to the iPhone formatted page, but you can see the screen flash a couple of times and the url changes when it gets redirected to the non-iPhone trailer page. This page doesn't have the mobile Safari compatible version of the trailer. I think the pages that are having problems are not correctly recognizing that you are running mobile Safari. A small bit of information (called a user agent string) about your browser is submitted every time you go to a web page. The iPhone's starts out as "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U;"... and the Touch's starts out as "Mozila/5.0 (iPod; U;"...
    I think the pages you are having problems with are checking to see if the user agent string says "iPhone" in it, which it doesn't, so it redirects to the non-mobile version. Apple needs to change those pages to check to see if it says "iPhone" OR "iPod".
