Apple TV Itunes Movies are Not runing on Apple Tv

I just synced my movies from my Itunes account with the apple Tv. If I am going on my movies to choose a movie I like to watch, I am getting the message that the movie is not allowed to be played on Apple TV!
Do I have to turn on my computer as well if I like to watch movie?

The message can be when AppleTv can't find the movie - if the movie has really synced, it should play, but if it's simply streaming (the sync library streams stuff not on AppleTV) and computer is off it may not be able to find the streaming movie.
Restart the AppleTV it may correct the problem.

    Not all videos in iTunes can be played on AppleTV. If a video is not playing on your AppleTV do this:
    1) Select the video
    2) Go to the File menu and choose 'Create new version'
    3) Choose 'iPad or AppleTV version'
    A new copy compatible with AppleTV will be created.
    (these steps are intended for iTunes 11. In iTunes 10, click on the Advanced menu)

  • Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV.  Why?  Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

    Please understand I am a frustrated customer like you,  , but the availability of movies that have been shown before is dependant on licencing from the rights owners. Sky quite rightly have to pay the film studios for the ability to show to Sky's customers. As I understand it they purchase the right for a period of time, hence when the right expires then it has to be removed. The costing of the movies does reflect on the anticipated popularity of the programme, hence an older less popular movie might seem expensive but if not many people watch and pay that would be right. The apparent silliness of having movies in the store and on demand, allows those people who do not have a movie subscription to rent the movie on a one off basis. I agree that Sky seem to be licencing some programmes for shorter periods and it really upsets me when movies appear in buy and keep but not available to rent only. I recently queried Sky about Fortitude being available in OnDemand until 2022!, then of course found out that Sky owns the rights of the series. I can only say be careful if you are a movies subscriber and wish to watch a movie, not to select the Sky Store version if it is available in the Movies on Demand section. I recently wanted to watch a film that I found in Sky store at a cost, and just to be sure I searched for it and found it was to be shown on Channel 4 in a few days. I don't think we'll ever understand how such decision are made as to how long they licence movies for and how the charging model works with the film studios. Logically you would think that a smallish fee to have available indefinately and to pay the studio fee based on the number of rentals would be better, but that might be difficult to administer and Sky would have to have extra server storage fees, which they outsource. Hope that help you understand

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

    The feed for the first podcast you list is at

    There is a line at the very top of the feed which reads

    Its presence renders the feed unreadable; when subscribing it shows up blank, and the iTunes Store is showing a cached version from the last time it could read the feed.
    The feed for the second podcast is at

    There appear to be no errors in this feed, but it is showing up empty when subscribing. It did take a long time to load in Firefox, so it's possible that it may be timing out in iTunes and the Store.

  • 10.6 to10.8 upgrade some of my movies  are not opening

    I get messages telling me that some of my movies are not movies when I try to play them.
        <   The movie could not be opened  >
              The file is not a movie file.
    This is the exact message that I get, but not on all my downloads.  ???

    I have upto date apps ,FLIP for Mac, .Realplayer,  VLC, DIVX player and converter, Quicktime 7 Pro
    Quicktime that came with OS10.8.2  .
    The only one that is missing is  <  Windows Player  > from Explorer.
    In short I think Apple is screwing their customers

  • I recently updated my software on my computer. Now when I plug my devices into iTunes, they are not recognized

    I recently updated my softward on my computer. Now when I plug my devices into my computer on iTunes, they are not recognized and I cannot sync them.

    Had the same problem.  I initially reinstalled iTunes without removing the older files.  Finally, I removed itunes, apple application support, apple mobile device support and apple software update.  Downloaded a fresh iTunes instal file from the iTunes site.  Everything is fine now.

  • Quicktime movies are not playing in a particular website

    Quicktime movies are not displaying on the catalogue pages of the Science Photo Library website - one url below - but they are displaying on their demo movie pages.
    We're running Firefox 3.6.6 on XP Pro SP2 with the QT 7.6.6 plugin. The Library have tried this but say it's working for them; we have two machines here that can't see these catalogue movies.
    When clicking one of the icons to launch a preview movie, the QT either shows a question mark, but which is unclickable, or is white. In the latter case you can click the playhead, but it doesn't start the movie. Also, if you right click these, you get the options you would see if you don't have QT Pro installed, ie. the Save options have 'Pro' in front of them. We do have Pro licenses.
    We also have the VLC player and plugin installed. Disabling that in Firefox makes no difference though.
    Thanks.
    Julian.

    Hello Julian.
    You probably need to contact Apple for support on QuickTime. And maybe the site's owner... This isn't likely to be a Firefox problem.
