Apple TV--purchases through iTunes account??

Hi,
I just purchased an Apple TV and assumed (silly me) that when I purchased a movie, that it would just filter out of my iTunes account. I have quite a bit of money in there from gift cards, etc. and would rather have it take the purchase from there than my debit card that is on file.
Is there any way to change this or am I stuck purchasing movies this way? If so, this is disappointing.

Actually, I'm talking about purchases and rentals. Using my Apple TV I rented a HD movie and also bought a tv episode, as well as a couple of songs from iTunes. None of it came from my balance on iTunes, all from my debit card on file.
I can see where buying on my MAC then syncing with the Apple TV would work to use the credit that I have on my account, but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having Apple TV to use? It just seems very convoluted, when Apple products always just seem to "make sense".
Thanks for your insight Winston!

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

  • If I buy an in app purchase with iTunes account "B" on my ipad, while logged into a different gamecenter, will it show up on Apple ID "A" email?

    If I buy an in app purchase with iTunes account "B" on my ipad, while logged into a different gamecenter, will it show up on Apple ID "A" email? I am trying to buy an in app purchase for Clash Of The Clans. My gamecenter is associated with Apple Account "A", but if I purchase the in app purchase under Apple Account "B", will it show up in Apple Account "A" email, due to it being associated via gamecenter? Please reply!

    No. An in-app purchase can only be made through the same iTunes Store account that the game was originally purchased through and will be linked only to that account. Receipts will be mailed only to the email address associated with that Apple ID. What Game Center account the game is linked to will be, to the best of my knowledge, irrelevant.
    Regards.

    I have numerous music movie clips that I have not purchased through iTunes, Is it possible to stream these "home" movies using iTunes to apple TV?
    And if iTunes will not allow it, is there another complete program available that I can purchase to have my music movie clips stream to a TV and/or another computer?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks, Winston C, I've actually tried everything you suggested. I'm thinking now that the Home Sharing problem likely is related to Bonjour--I've seen several people mention this with similar (but not identical) problems. The solution that seems to work for some people is to uninstall and reinstall Bonjour. Frankly, I don't want to go through the trouble given that the iOS 7 release is imminent.
    One thing that I haven't tried is resetting the ATV to factory settings. I'll give that whirl.
    Thanks for your advice!

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • Using two apple IDs on one Itunes account

    I recently purchases a ipad for my 86 year old mother. I want to also add music to it that I have cd's for. She now has an Apple ID of her own and I have my own Apple ID. The problem is this, when I log out of my itunes account and log in as her, I can still see all my music library as her. How do I see NOTHING under her account, until I actually load in music for her. Then can i sync her ipad using my OWN Mac and have it appear on her ipad? I have not enabled home sharing at all. Thank you!

    Phil, I am confused about your statement/answer:
    ""Is it possible to create two Apple IDs on one iTunes account?"
    Yes.  I have two."
    Apple says:
    "An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID."
    Thus an Apple ID is the same as the iTunes account.
    Did you mean can yu use more than one Apple ID on one iPod because yuo know the answr is yes.
    Or have I go something wrong?

  • Does family sharing allow content not purchased through itunes?

    Most of my music has been ripped from my CDs, not purchased through itunes. The family sharing feature in ios8 sounds tempting since I currently have 4 of us working from a single account which causes some issues at times. Will I still be able to share the ripped CDs and other content not purchased from itunes with other family members if we split up and then turn on family sharing?
    Thus far, the 5S that just arrived today is the only device with ios8 on it. The other iphones and ipads in the house will need to be updated when it seems safe to do so. We are also running itunes on two macbook pros and a few PCs.

    Yes, home sharing works with both purchased and ripped music, as well as videos.  It does not allow you to move content from one computer to another; it allows you to stream content from one computer to another computer or device on the local network (or connected via a VPN).
    If you want to access music outside of your network and copying it is a problem, then you might consider Match.

  • HT1386 i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs.  Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

    i've already synced my itunes on my laptop with my iphone but it's not synching all of the albums/songs.  Everything was purchase through itunes so i'm not sure what the issue is.

    What settings do you have in iTunes? Is it set to sync all music, it is set to sync only checked songs? Is there anything different about the songs that it is not syncing. Is it possible they were they purchased with a different Apple ID?

  • I have static on song not purchased through itunes?  Any help??

    I have static only on the song I have not purchased through itunes. All itunes music plays fine? Has anyone else had this problem.

    Well, I don't think you are alone. My iTouch is exhibiting a high frequency liek static scratching on imported from CD songs. It's very annoying to be experiencing this kind of issue on such an expensive music player.
    Does your issue reside in the high end of the music? If so, please complainas much as possible to Apple. Mine and my wifes are doing the same thing, from two different PC's.

  • TV Shows and Music purchased through iTunes doesn't work on my iPhone

    When I play some of the music and tv shows purchased through iTunes on my iPhone, it would play for around 30 seconds for music and anywhere from 5-20 min for the shows, and then either go to the next song, or stop playing the video for no reason.
    It seems to be a specific spot which "crashes" the song, because say the song or video stops at 2:31, I can seek to "2:33", and the song/video would play normally, and not crash.
    What's the reason for this?

    Contact Apple and report a problem via your *purchase history*. Either from the iTunes store, or the email receipt they send.
    Also you might have more luck in the iPhone forums:

    Hello kerrisapatricia,
    It sounds like you have a couple of songs you want to delete from your iPhone. This article should help with that:
