Apple TV and movies

Hi folks. I'm new here. I don't have an AppleTV box. I did some researh and I couldn't find any information about purchase of HighDef movies. I only see HighDef movie rentals. Can we purchase HD movies?
And also, I noticed from Apple's website that the max HD resolution that they are offering is 1280x720. Do they have 1920x1080?
Thanks!

you can only rent HD movies (direct from AppleTV).
the HD rentals are 720p.

  • Apple TV and movie rental

    Hi
    I have just set up apple TV and have watched 2 movies. At present my computer is not linked as I need to upgrade to Lion
    My ipad 2 is linked.
    Problem is there nothing has come up on my itunes account about payment or purchase.
    is there a delay in this?
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It may take a while for it to show up in iTunes. If you make a few purchases together they may well be grouped.

  • Finally Sweden Apple released Apple TV2 and movies.

    But, the movies didnot include subtitles. Even if we are in dvd region 2. That was dissapointing.
    Further Appletv2 worked for 15 minutes.
    I have iMac with updated Lion, an updated itune.
    Appletv updated.
    Time capsule
    iPhone and iPad with ios5.
    Found the streaming shut off depedent on time capsule. Had to enter port 123 at shsring on time capsule.
    This is crap....no data re This re appletv and itune 10.5.
    Films on swedish itune ...no subtitles...i am really dissapointed

    After having audio background noise so loud you cannot hear the audio on Apple TV using iTunes movies and Netflix television programs, but no noise problem on Netflix movies or on Apple TV iTunes movie previews, Apple Care solved the problem by telling me to go to "settings" in the menu, select "audio and video", then select "dolby".  Turn "dolby" to off.  For me, this not only solved all noise problems, but also enabled the closed captioning on the Netflix movies, which were not showing before!!!  You must be sure closed captioning is enabled in the "settings" section in the Apple TV menu, and the movie must be closed captioned (noted on the preview page for all movies, etc.) - for ITunes movies or Netflix.  Netflix is closed captioned just by turning off the dolby on the Apple TV.  Netflix doesn't seem to know this solution.  Apple Care is finding that the dolby fix also seems to fix a "no audio" problem.

  • How can I keep my old things from own apple account and move it to a new one?

    I got a new iTunes account today and all of my old things (videos, pictures, music, apps, etc.) are all on the old account, which is my dad's. I want to have all of my stuff on my iPhone, but also have a new Apple Account.

    You will not be able to transfer the items purchased or the other Apple ID. You will need to reinstall the data under your Apple ID and pay for the apps. 

  • New Apple ID and Movies Disappeared from iCloud

    I changed my apple id to my new email address and now when I go into "purchased" in iTunes, all my previously purchased movies are gone. It's not even a category at the top where it says "Apps" "Music" "Books" "TV Shows", there's no "Movies" Does anyone know why?
    I don't know if that makes sense or not. But basically what I'm saying is I no longer have the option to download my previously purchased movies from iCloud now that I have changed my apple ID. BUT it does allow me to re-download all my previously purchased TV Shows, Apps, Books, and Music. What do I do now?

    i have the exact problem.. where can we ask for help?

  • Old Apple ID vs new Apple ID and movie...

    Ok. This is what is going on.... This has to do with Family Sharing....
    My husband had to get a new email address because we got a new Comcast account. He had a credit on iTunes so I thought that I would use that credit to purchase a movie before I changed his Apple ID to the new one. So the movie is there on his MBP and I want to transfer it to my computer..... I can't seem to do that. He is part of my Family Sharing-I am the Organizer. If I don't get the movie onto my computer and he starts to use his new Apple ID, then the movie is lost isn't it? Or maybe not. I am SOOOO confused! I sure hope someone can help me.... Thanks for reading this query! Judy

    You don't have to change your AppleID just because the email changed.
    You can manage your AppleID here, where you can change the email associated with that AppleID, and I think you may be able to change the AppleID username. https://appleid.apple.com/
    However, if you already created an AppleID with that new email address, you can't associate it with the old AppleID.
    Regardless, the username is irrelevant to the actual account. It's just a username, but when set up, it uses your current email address as a username.

  • Apple TV and .mov files

    Hello, I have used submerge in order to merge my movies with SRT files. The output is then a MOV file. Until just a few weeks ago, this worked just fine with my ATV. But my recent merges trough submerge have been declined by my ATV, it says that it does not support the file type.
    Can someone please help?

    This will probably be best done in submerge, I don't use it so I don't know what settings there are, but you need to be exporting to h264.
    The issue with the file as it stands is that the tv won't support DivX. (additionally, and I don't know if it will be a problem for you but the audio appears to only be AC3, which is fine if you are connected to a home theatre but if not you won't hear anything)
    It would appear that all submerge has done is taken the original file wrapped it in the .mov container and added the text as an image.
    Again because I don't use submerge I'm not sure, but it may be the case that all submerge does is exactly that, wrap the original file in a .mov container and add an image. It may then be the case that the files that worked for you before were simply of a different format before you started.
    I'll see if I can find anything out about export options in submerge for you.

  • I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?

    Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

  • HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
    In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any  downloads are finished, the icon disappears.  I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
    My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes.  Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
    I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail.  Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies.  Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'.  Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab.  Hey Presto!  The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
    This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading.  Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me.  Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem.  Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie!  We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
    In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV.  Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it!  We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough.  We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same.  One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired.  There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie.  Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • I travel - a lot. I have apple accounts in Canada, US and Brazil. I want to consolidate and listen to my music and movies on one device. Right now there is a 90 day limit per account on each device. How can I download and use all my purchases?

    There must be a way for people who live in several countries or speak several languages to purchase music and movies in various national Apple IDs and then consolidate and listen to the media they own on just one device. How can I do that?

    There must be a way to get all the music and movies into one place. Maybe on Laptop rather than iPhone or iPad. I can get one set to one ID and the other to another, then switch to the third ID since I have not changed the two in 90 days. But I would need to download all media during the time each device is on each ID. Must be possible, but I don't know how.

  • How can i use apple tv and iTunes movies with component video cables for an older receiver and projector?

    i have an older yamaha receiver and projector both without hdmi inputs but component video instead. I would like to get apple tv and start renting movies through iTunes but apple tv only supports hdmi and ive read that iTunes has codes to prevent the use ot analog cables with movies. Is there a way to adapt hdmi to component video for both apple tv and iTunes easily?

    Yes, HDMI is the only supported method. Also, with converters you will run into issues with HDCP (which will prevent you from streaming DRM content from iTunes etc) as well as resolution.

  • I have two apple accounts and one of which has my music on. I would like to move this music to the other account. Is there a simple way of doing this?

    I have two apple accounts and one of which has my music on. I would like to move this music to the other account. Is there a simple way of doing this?

    There is currently no way to merge accounts.  The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.
    HTH.
