Apple TV - How to purchase Music Videos on ATV?

I see that I can rent movies and TV shows but don't see how you can purchase Music Videos on Apple TV ...... do I have to purchase them first in Itunes on the computer then watch it on Apple TV? I have the new Apple TV device (the small black hockey puck)
(Also Are the music videos HD sold in Itunes Store?)

Yes, it's crazy - AppleTV 1 was an ideal vehicle for browsing music videos (even if you bought them in itunes), it makes no sense that they'd leave this out on teh new model.
Send feedback - i would like this restored too:

The SD/HD weirdness is all down to the media companies and their licensing - I'm sure Apple would love to offer all combinations but they can't. I'm more frustrated on a slow broaqdband connection that many titles can be rented in HD on AppleTV but not in itunes with a view to AppleTV playback.
I also assume for rentals you are aware AppleTV 2 only shows either HD or SD depending on your selection in Settings whereas ATV1 offered either if available with no fiddling in Settings.
I found a couple of movies for the kids in HD the other day in iTunes, and was going to buy them - we already have SD versions on DVD - then just like that they'd gone and only available in SD again. Crazy. Saved me a few pounds.

How to watch music video in itunes all ready purchased ?

How to watch music video in itunes all ready purchased ?
please help me leave me a reply okay:)?????!!

Hi dantheman302,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on your exact question. If you are talking about watching something that you have previously purchased but is no longer in your iTunes Library for whatever reason, you should be able to redownload it from the iTunes Store in most instances. You may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Has anybody had this and know a fix?
I try to play a purchased music video clip and iTunes shuts down or windows 7 shuts it down as an unexpected error.

Still no go.

Purchased music videos completely white PLEASE HELP!

I purchased quite a few music videos from the iTunes Store and since i upgraded about 6 months ago (this is the first chance I've had to look into it!) I've had so many problems with iTunes.
Every time I try to watch a purchase music video- all I can see is a white screen with a yellowish outline of objects in the video. The sound is kinda alright, a bit crackly, but still unacceptable considering the videos are $3.69 each!
Can someone please help me out? Or just tell how I can re-download these videos for free?
THANK YOU!
peace

Hi, Jen the Hen.
Have a look at this Apple Support page , in particulat the section A purchased video looks or sounds bad.

ITunes crashes when I try and play a purchased music video

This is a new problem and appeared out of the blue. Any suggestions how to fix?

I'm having a similar problem (see thread below) - my purchased music videos used to play until I tried to move my library from my old PC to my new Mac. The restore kept failing as soon as a video file (.m4v) was encountered. Had to manually import blocks of music and avoid the videos. Now have my music again but iTunes just crashes when I try to play the music vids I bought from iTunes.

How to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune?

Can anyone tell me how to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune? Because I can't see the Music Videos and the Podcast section in iTune under Device when my iPod is connected to my computer. Thanks

iTunes doesn't have a separate *Music Videos* section. In iTunes these are just part of the main Music library. To manually drag a music video to yout iPod drag it onto the iPod or a compatible playlist. To remove, look for it in Music on the iPod and delete.
I think podcasts only work properly when placed on the iPod via the sync tabs. If you manually drag and drop then the files may get treated as general audio & video files.

How do I convert purchased music videos and television shows into my Itunes liabrary and sync it onto my ipod?

I recently purchased a music video and a television show episode off of Itunes. It was in my liabrary until I plugged in my Ipod nano 4th generation for it to sync. As my ipod is syncing the music video and tv show episode were'nt in my liabrary and they didn't sync onto my ipod. Yet when I log into my itunes store account the purchsed content is there. How do I get the music video and tv episode into my itunes library and onto my ipod?

My guess (and it is just a guess) is that what you are trying to do is no different than recording a TV programme to a VCR then watching it at a time of your convenience, probably the main reason why people have purchased VCRs, PVRs and the like.
However, with commercially produced DVDs, there is an encryption built in to prevent copying, and it the discussion of how to overcome this encryption that Apple will not permit on their forums.

Any iTunes content that is downloaded by your iPhone including 3rd party apps should be transferred to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer after doing so. All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer.

HT2729 When I updated my apple phones with IOS7, the music videos can no longer be viewed in widescreen mode on the phone. When I turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video, album cover art pops up. Any idea how to change that? I hate

After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?

We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Why isn't purchased music video (one of several) not appearing on my AppleTV

I recently bought a dozen music videos related to a tv show. All but one has appeared on my Apple TV music video list. Doing a search in music on my AppleTV I still find it listed for sale and not purchased even though I purchased it a long while back. How can I get the Apple TV to clue in and recognize ALL the music videos I have purchased?

I'd contact iTunes Store and see what the issue is.
I have items that I've purchased, do not show as such in iTunes on a computer but are available to re-download via iTunes Purchased quicklink.
When items 'change' in the store - they may get a price cut, different product code or something on Apple's servers they can be treated as different products.
Query with the Store - if nothing else they might offer a credit so you can replace the old item with one that shows up.
I've also in the past got caught out by poor quality video episodes that I've complained about and had refunds on - so for example one bad episode in a Season got refunded but was then not available in the cloud.

ITunes Purchased Music/Videos Not Playing On iPod

Hi All..
Long time reader, first time 'post-er'..
I have a problem that is starting to annoy me.. All my purchased music and videos from iTunes will play in iTunes and transfer to the ipod, but when I go into play these from the iPod.. It starts to play (on videos the black screen comes up) then just jumps back to the menu.
My videos that I have converted from DVD are perfect, and songs I have imported are also perfect.. Its just everything from iTunes wont play on my iPod.. But I obviously cant convert my iTunes videos because they are protected.. To get my purchased music on my iPod I need to burn and import.. Annoying isnt it?!
Anyone have any ideas??? Would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks Again!!
