Apple TV 2: Airplay no itunes movies streaming

Hallo to all, hoping someone should help me.
I have Apple tv2, updated to last fw version (iOS 4.2). I'm trying to connect my iphone 3GS with iOS 4.3 with Apple tv2 though Airport Express wifi router (no internet access). Pictures, personal clips (.mov) from iphone camera, video clips from iphone camera and downloaded from itunes (.m4v) all are going well from iphone to apple tv2, EXCEPT THE MOVIES downloaded from itunes that are storaged locally into my pc and iphone. Message error says that is impossible to reproduce them into Apple tv.
Someone can tell me why and what can I do?

Many apps don't natively support that audio out to the apple tv, (spotify, pandora, ect) Normally the work around is to get it going with the music app then back out of the music and open the other app (pandora, crackle) and the audio will switch. As far as getting the audio initially try running the music on the ipad then toggle airplay on and skip back to the initial song. At this point if you still have no sound toggle screen mirroring as well all while letting the song run on the ipad.

  • Apple TV freezes during iTunes movie stream.

    Since the last update of IOS in my Apple TV it`s not playing iTunes movies from my MacBook Air.
    The movie frame freezes in my TV screen and it seems like it`s buffering the stream from my Mac. Does anyone has a solution?
    Thnaks

    Do you mean pausing to rebuffer and then resuming by itself? Or does it stop playing entirely until you do something to restart it?
    We didn't have any problems with Netflix rebuffering this evening. However, HD content seemed much more likely to "pixelate" while we were watching it than it ever has before. I updated our ATV2 to the latest firmware today before we starting watching Netflix this evening. Don't know if it's related or if it's just a coincidence.

  • I think you guys in apple have an issue on iTunes movies coz I only get the full screen with small black squares...

    Lost a purchased movie and when checking iTunes movies I get the full screen with small little squares and weird signs.

    We are all irunes users just like you.  You are not addressing Apple here at all.

  • TS4124 ie should icloud allow apple tv to play my itunes movie rentals without itunes being open on my computer

    Shouldn't icloud sent my itunes movie rentals to apple TV without my computer open to itunes?

    Do I need to back-up all my movies and songs on to a hard drive
    Yes. An Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone is not intended to be a backup device and shouldn't be treated as one.
    The virus does not allow me to open iTunes, so how can I deauthorize that computer?
    You can't. If you run out of authorizations, you can use the Deauthorize All command. Otherwise, you should probably just leave it as is.

  • Apple TV Randomly Disconnects From iTunes While Streaming Videos

    Hey All,
    Anyone having an issue where your Apple TV randomly disconnects from your iTunes on another computer while streaming videos from it? Randomly, on different shows and movies, I have had it do it quite a few times.
    In the beginning, after it would disconnect, within a few seconds, it would reconnect to iTunes and then I would have to navigate back to what I was watching and and resume it. Now, it will disconnect, and then I will have to quit iTunes on my iMac and then start it up again.
    I am curious if it is an issue with the wireless adapter on the ATV because when it happens, it looks like it losses complete connection with the iTunes and then reconnects to the net only after. Then I would need to restart iTunes on my iMac to continue watching my show.
    This was happening before the recent update and continues after the update as well.
    Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

    You're talking about those WIFI bridges they make for xbox 360s that connect the 360 ethernet to a wifi adapter, bridging it?
    That is a possible solution, but I will definitely check with Apple first, hoping it will be a no money solution (I am a grad student, every dollar helps).
    My apartment is two rooms, my iMac being in another room, so that wouldn't work. The Wifi extender will probably be my only hope if Apple is not cool with the helping a brother out.

  • VGA IPAD connection and itunes movie streaming

    Using a vga connection between my ipad and samsung television, can I stream a movie from itunes so that it displays on the television?

    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

  • Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

    I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
    I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
    And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
    If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
    If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
    I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

    That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so

  • Macbook i7 to ATV - Airplay BOGGS and won't stream iTunes movies

    I have a 2012 i7 Macbook 13 inch, and a 2012 (3rd Gen?) (it's brand new) 1080/WIFI/HDMI Apple TV. I have set up the ATV and updated all of the software. It is connected to my WIFI, which is fast and stable.  then:
    -I started home sharing on my ATV/Itunes. My movies AND music show up on the ATV in the "Computer" section. I can select both movies and music, and all the media information comes up on the ATV.
    -When I play music on ATV, the MUSIC loads and plays VERY SLOW and CHOPPY.
    -When I play MOVIES on the ATV thru Itunes, they usually do NOT even load. The ATV tries to load the movies, but the spinning wheel (of death) is usually all I see. Sometimes, a movie will look like it is going to load, and play, but the it just sits on one frame of the movie. That is as far as it goes. The movie freezes but ironically neither the ATV or MACbook are freezing.
    -AIRPLAY will mirror my desktop onto the TV, but that is as far as it will go also. The mouse will not even move on the TV. It basically just shows a frozen display of the screen
    -I was using Moutain Lion when i first tried to get this to work, but i have since updated to Maverick, hoping that would fix things. It hasn't. NOTHING has changed. My iTunes is up to date. ATV software is up to date.
    -It seems like this would be a problem with the network or the internet, except here is the strange thing:
    -I can use my i7 HP PC to stream movies/music thru iTunes FLAWLESSLY. The movies and music inside of iTunes on the HP stream PERFECTLY thru the ATV.
    This is really FRUSTRATING. I went out and got this new Macbook, and decided to use all MAC, since I love my iPhone and iPad.. and everyone always tells me how much better the OS on Macs are.. well, I'm not too impressed right now. I would expect ALOT more plug and play. I am very good with computers, albeit mainly PCs, but this should be alot easier to work. I really hope I am doing something really stupid, and someone knows a quick fix. I have searched the forums and don't see anything that was resolved from similar hardware situations. I don't get it.. Totally stuck... Could really use some help.. Trying to be a converted believer in the ways of MAC, so far, not going so good. It's been a serious headache.
    Wondering why I even bought ATV right about now? I could have easily just plugged my HDMI cord into EITHER MAC/PC laptop, and accessed ALL the same things.. no remote I guess... but so far it's totally not worth the headache. PLEASE HELP

    OK! I figured something out.. I got my MAC to start streaming movies and music finally!!!! It turns out that I need to shut off the WIFI on the PC that I am also homesharing thru iTunes on. I set both the PC and MACBOOK to homeshare their respective iTUNES, and they both simutaneously show up on the ATV. BUT... if I have them both running WIFI at the same time, while both signed into homeshare in iTunes, only the PC's streaming works correctly. (see above post for more detail of FAILURE) SO WEIRD. The MAC shows up stil on the ATV, but BOGGS down or fails to load files completely. As soon as I turn off WIFI on the PC, Mac streams perfectly thru the COMPUTER folder on the ATV..
    SO..
    Can ANYONE please tell me how to use both PC and MAC on the ATV without shutting off one or the other? Or is that not possible? I guess it doesn't really matter, since I can only stream one thing at a time to the ATV . I like to keep both computer's WIFI running at the same time (downloading files in background), but I guess I can just shut off home sharing on the PC when I am using the MAC, and vice versa. Glad to know they both work thru the ATV. Haven't tried to use the mirrored display on the MAC yet.. gonna stick to watching movies thru the ATV's computer folder with my iTunes movie playlist for now. No need to frustrate myself anymore. Just gonna enjoy some technology for a minute.
    I guess I have answered my own question.
    Pretty surprised I didn't get even one response in 24 hours to my original post. This is my first time using any forum for TECH support.
    I thought this post made sense, but maybe it's a bunch of jibberish. Or maybe people saw the word "PC" and didn't want anything to do with this post.
    Truth is, the iTunes on my PC worked flawlessly with my ATV, right out the box, whereas the MAC was a little work to get going. Also, it (MACBOOK) loads content slower than the PC on the ATV. They are both i7 processors with 8 gigs of ram.  I still have yet to find something on this MAC that I can't do just as easily on a PC for a third the cost. I love the way the Apple stuff looks, and there are some cool things that MAC has gotten right (love the trackpad).. I love my iPhone, iPad, and now my ATV.. but my PC is still givin this MACBOOK a run for it's money. Just sayin.
    Hopefully this post can help someone if they are in a similar position: in a household that uses both MAC/PC and shares one Apple TV.  Like I said, this seems to be working now. Fingers crossed. If anything changes I will be sure to talk about it.

  • How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
    Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

  • Are there any plans to make renting iTunes movies workable, Apple? Or should I just use Amazon, BBC, Netflix, etc., which all stream HD?

    I have tried twice to use iTunes rental.You have to plan ahead, preferrably the day before, unless you have a fast broadband connection.
    I don't.
    However, my slow broadband connection enables me to stream instatly HD content from Netflix, BBC and now Amazon.
    So, if I wanted to watch a movie on a journey, I guess downloading the whole movie would do the trick if I planned ahead.
    But there are alternatives, particularly for those of us who still have DVD drives.
    So, is iTunes movie just designed for commuters?
    I think we should be told.

    Thank you for getting back so quickly.
    If I knew how to remove my post I would.
    As for the problem, I don't know where to turn. Twitter, perhaps.

  • HT1725 I rented an iTunes movie Prometheus on Sunday over AppleTV and it kep sottping after a minute or so and spinning trying to buffer.   I tried everything same thing 5 times and then I gave up 5 minutes into the movie.  My Apple TV and Netflix Movies

    What am I doing wrong?   I have hi-speed cable internet and N wireless WiFi.
    AppleTV and Netflix movies and TV work great - not buffering at all???

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • Streaming video from iPad to Apple TV using Airplay

    Hey there,
    I have the following problem which I havent been able to fix. I have an Apple TV (2010 model) and the latest iPad which I use to stream videos on my TV using Airplay. Everything seems to work fine, I am able to stream and whatch movies on my TV using my wireless network.
    However, as soon as I purchased a movie and trying to stream it to my apple TV, I am only able to stream the audio through my Apple TV while the video is shown on my iPad. Both my devices iPad and Apple TV are updated with the latest software.
    Is there anyone that shares the same problem or have a solution to this? As I said, only when the movie is being downloaded while I want to stream it on my Appe TV, I am only able to hear audio through my Apple TV. As soon as the movie has downloaded, I am able to stream both audio and video to my TV.
    Thank you so much for your input.
    Sebastian

    I have just experienced the same issue with the same setup and its very frustrating.
    Wanted to watch a movie (Airplane 2), but couldnt find it when browsing directly on the Apple Tv, so switched to iTunes on the iPad, found the movie, and purchased it. I was thinking thatnwhen I purchased it, the movie would appear in my library and I'd be able to start playing it as it downloaded. I realised quickly this was not the case, and that it was just downloading on my iPad, so then I thought, well thats okay, I'll just start playing it on my ipad and airplay it to my Apple TV.... Which is where I met the same as yourself. Only the audio plays when trying to airplay a movie thats downloading. If I try to airplay mirror, I get the message ""the connected display is not authorised to play protected movies". Great.
    So I've had to wait for the entire move to download, and now it airplays from ipad to AppleTV. I also then had to do a Transfer Purchases from iTunes, to get the movie into my library. Not very intuitive really and very frustrating when I wanted to watch the movie quickly.
