Apple TV buffers air play movie rented from iTunes and downloaded on iPad.

When I download rented movie from iTunes to iPad and then air play to Apple TV the AppleTV buffers for 30-45 min as if it is trying to re-download the rented move. It use to start instantly with a complete status bar.

Was an internet connection available?
I'm not sure I would ever play a rented movie by mirroring from an iPad as mirroring is lossy and reduces quality.
It may actually not work via mirroring.

  • HT204291 All of a sudden, my Apple TV requires HDCP for playback. It is directly connected to my HDTV and I never had any problems so far. Apple TV  also refuses to play movies rented from iTunes. What's going on?

    Why does Apple TV suddenly requite HDCP for playback?
    No mirroring possible, it even refuses to play films rented from iTunes.
    Apple TV linked directly to HDTV via hdmi cable?

    Hi Seraphiel07.
    I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
    Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
    Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
    Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
    All connected through:
    Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
    I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
    All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
    All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
    All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
    My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
    I have:
    1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
    2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
    3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
    4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
    It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
    All comments welcome.

  • Can I watch a movie that has been purchased or rented from itunes and downloaded to my ipad without internet access?

    I would like to be able to watch a movie while I'm camping and stuck in the camper due to inclement weather.  More than likely, I will not have access to the internet.  Is it possible to watch a movie that has been rented or purchased and downloaded to my ipad?

    I have seen conflicting answers about this issue recently.
    If you purchase a movie and it is fully downloaded to your iPad - yes you can watch it without an Internet connection.
    With a rental there seems to be two schools of thought. The first is just like the answer to a purchased movie - once fully download no Internet connection is needed. The other reply is that you need an internet connection in order to authorize playback and those who state this say that you can't play a rental without the Internet connection.
    I have never rented a movie but the second school of thought makes no sense to me. If the movie is downloaded and the authorization has already taken place, I see no reason to need the Internet connection. I have read stories of iPad users talking about watching rented movies on airplane flights so that would be without an Internet connection.

  • HT1745 quicktime not authorized to play movies rented from iTunes store

    Rented 3 movies last night from the iTunes store. Download began and ended just fine. When I tried to view one of the movies, quicktime opened with this message:  "QuickTime Player is not authorized to play “Clara's Heart.m4v”. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes"
    So, I tried to open with iTunes, and discovered that I couldn't.
    Any ideas of what to do please? I would appreciate explanations in simpe english as I do not understand computer jargon. Thanks very much.

    Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
    iTunes 10.4 for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode
    Does the rental play then?

  • My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

  • HT1657 Why are there no credits on movies rented from iTunes?

    Can anyone tell why there are no credits (movie credits ) with movies rented from iTunes?

    Amy, until the copyright holders for TV content in the UK authorize Apple to distribute, there is nothing Apple can do.
    The only way to buy from another country's store is to have a credit card with a billing address from that specific country. Again, these rules are set by the copyright holders not Apple.

    My TV will play movies via apple tv but on trying to play tv shows keeps asking for authorization..why ? How do I authorize ? Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

  • Movies rented from iTunes Store won't download what can I do?

    I have rented 2 movies from iTunes and keep getting error messages. I have checked storage and have more than enough available.  Any suggestions?

    This happened to me as well on May 14th. I have paid for the movies but still have not been able to complete the download or remove them from my download list. I have tried all suggestions on all other threads. Sync, restore, hard resets, tried swipping left. Nothing is working. I have cleared history & cache. I have logged out of itunes.

  • Why can't I play an old movie purchased from iTunes and later uploaded to iTunes from an external hard drive on my Apple TV?

    I bought Ratatouille some years ago from iTunes downloaded onto a 1st gen Apple TV, and subsequently to an old MacBook.  I had backed that MacBook up to an external HD.  A couple computers from that time and now I have a new gen ATV.  I noticed that all my old movies showed up to stream on the new ATV's system except Ratatouille.  So today I decided to upload the movie onto my new MBP's iTunes.  But the movie won't show up on ATV.  Again, this is an iTunes-purchased movie so it has nothing to do with format.  I can play the movie through "home sharing" but I shouldn't have to leave my MBP open to play the movie - it should be available on my "purchased" selection that can be played at any time.  Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

  • Apple TV v2 Not Playing Movies Rented On Computer

    It was my understanding that if I rent a movie on my computer, I can view it on my Apple TV. I did that, and I can see the rented movie under my computer on the Apple TV — but whenever I click through to play it, I just get the rotating spin wheel endlessly. I assumed it was merely transferring enough into the cache like it does when renting directly on the Apple TV, but NOTHING ever happens, no matter how long I wait.
    All other movies, rented directly, or bought on my computer, work as expected. This is the first time I've ever tried renting on my computer and watching on the Apple TV, though.
    Thoughts?

    No one...?

  • Watching a movie rented from iTunes store on television using ITV

    I installed my recently purchased Apple TV and had everything working smoothly until renting a movie from iTunes store. The movie would play on my computer monitor, but not on the television. When I tried a window would appear saying, "the movie was not copied to the Apple TV because the Apple TV could not contact the iTunes Store to authorize. Please check your Internet connection or try again later." The Internet connection to the television worked fine as did the Internet connection to the computer. It was only when I tried to watch the movie on television that the problem arose. What could be the problem?
