Apple TV - Purchasing and renting movies / videos in Austria

I want to buy an Apple TV in the next days, but today I saw, that it is not possible in my region (Austria) to rent or buy movies in iTunes yet. So I'm afraid it would make no sense to buy the Apple TV. Does anybody know, until when movies will be available in Austria's iTunes Store - i hope quite soon?!?
Thanks, Thomas.

Purchased and rented movies not showing upon Apple TV

I can view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV. The only thing that shows up on the screen is a large white screen. Any ideas or suggestions?

I assume you mean, "I can't view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV"
The white screen indicates an authorisation issue, try restarting your tv and if that is unsuccessful, try de/re-authorising your itms account.

Purchased and Rented movies not playing

recently any movies that i have downloded form itunes store or movies that i have previously downloaded haven't been playing back.
when i go to choose a movie itunes can see my movies are there but when i play them it comes up with a blank screen ( no audio or visual) and the timer counts down as if the movie is playing. This also happends with movie clips/video clips i steam from the store.
i have removed, repaird and reinstalled itunes 64bit about 6 times, downloaded quicktime and reinstalled it twice. Updated my drivers and made sure everything else was up to date, even did a system restore and still no luck.
i am running windows 8 pro 64bit but this problem has only happend with in the last 2 weeks and i have been running win8 since the start of the year.

TS4223 how do i sync from i tunes account for purchased and rented movies on to my ipad

How do i sync from my itunes account to my ipad for rented and movies i have purchased

Yes you can do that. The problem comes from the fact that you both used the same Apple ID to purchase or download Apps. Purchased apps are associated with the Apple ID used to purchase them.
I would just go ahead and back up all info on the old iPad to your computer. Then restore and erase the old iPad and set it up as new. Get a separate Apple ID for your wife and enter only her email settings. She might have to repurchase those non free apps that she might want but to me this is a small price to pay.

HT3951 I am having difficulty downloading purchased or rented movies on other linked computers. Any hint pls?

Hello All,

Try re downloading the movie. You won't be charged again > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT204088 I've noticed a charge on my credit card for $8.49 each month. I looked at my Apple iTunes purchases and don't see it in my purchase history. How do I find out what this charge is for?

If it's happening every month then it's likely to be an auto-renewing subscription - there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

Apple tv and rented movies

How do you get a rented movie over to apple tv or do I have to wait for the apple tv update to come in the mail

I rented a movie from iTunes, and can't get to my AppleTV, I thought I would wait for the 2.0 upgrade to watch, but do not think I will then either , as much as I dislike opop ups, I think they should have one when you rent, letting you know where you can watch (on what)
, found this article (good read)
AppleInsider has a very good article on AppleTV 2.0
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/01/15/firstlook_apple_tv_2_0_and_itunes_movie_rentals_photosvideo.html
Here is a excerpt about the movie rentals
Now, users can rent and buy movies, as well as buy music, music videos, and TV programs directly from the iTunes Store using the simple remote control. While music and video purchases can be synced back to a desktop iTunes library, just like the new WiFi Store on the iPod Touch and iPhone, video rentals ordered on Apple TV can't.
You can rent movies directly from iTunes for playback on iPods, but those can't be synced to the Apple TV. Therefore, you have to choose whether a rental you order is something you want to watch on TV or anywhere else, before you actually rent it. Given that rentals are $3.99 and $4.99, that decision isn't as deeply ponderous as it might initially seem to be.
I am thinking (scary thought) it has to do with the "DVD quality" and HD, vs 640 for iPods?
?/what is DVD quality? and what was "near DVD quality" that was advertised for AppleTV1.0
Is Winston in the house?

Rented Movie Video and Sound out of sync

I love renting movies from ITunes , but there is this ongoing issue with video and sound syncronisation. I have Window 7 64bit with i7 processor and the latest version of Itunes. I have gone through the settings of altering the sound properties on Quicktime player and Windows to 16bit 44khz which had improved it alot.
But when watching a film half way through the sound appears to overtake the video. Would this be a setting on the latency currently set to 33.000ms and should increasing this cure the problem?
I'll try altering the settings on one more film , if that doesn't work then ITunes for me is history.

Does it behave the same way when you watch the video on your computer? What you observed is not that uncommon since some formats/recorders tend to loose sync between the video and audio.

Have downloaded movies in the past and no problems. Now I have bought concerts and rent movies and after 45 minutes I lose sound and have updated quicktimeplayer and itunes is updated as per answer when reported to apple. Help.

First time I have used this system but as per sentences above I cannot watch a rented movie or live concert that I have bought without restarting my pc?
Before I never had this problem and starting to get frustrated with Itunes but no problems with music.

Apple TV2 not playing rented movies

Hi folks,
Here's a problem which I've discovered since the latest software update for the appleTV:
I regularly rent movies via the iTunes store on my iPad2. Usually in standard def. I've had no trouble in the past viewing said videos on AppleTV - appearing in the top left of the Apple TV home screen under 'Purchased' or 'Rented' items.
On Sunday past, I rented a film in the same way only to find that the rental did not appear on my AppleTV - I even did the whole 'check for rentals' thing via settings, but to no avail. In the end, as I had friends round to watch the movie, I had to rent the movie a second time via my appleTV.
Phoned support last night who couldn't give me an explanation of why this might be, but did offer me a work-around - ie, play the movie on my iPad and send it via Airplay to my appleTV - I tried it last night while the guy from support was on the phone with me. It worked with a rented movie on my iPad 'Stander'. No problems. So, I went ahead and rented 'In Time' on my iPad, sent to to Airplay as before only to get the message on my iPad 'Not authorised to play this content on the selected monitor device'. However, the audio was playing via the AppleTV. Tried again this morning to find that now not only isn't the audio not playing via AppleTV but I'm getting the yellow exclamation mark triangle on screen with the message 'Not Authorised to play this content'.
There is nothing wrong with my hardware as far as I can tell. Everything else works as it should. This is a problem which has suddenly occured since the last firmware/software update for AppleTV.
Can someone offer me some help/explanation because Apple support both last night and today have been entirely useless. While not able to offer me an explanation, they did however try to sell me extended phone support, which was nice...
So yeah, if anyone else can offer me any help/suggestions, it'd be much appreciated!

I don't recall rentals made on an iPad ever also being available on AppleTV direct - they're not supposed to be:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
It's a long time since I rented on an iPad so that's not to say it never happened I just don't recall that you werer supposed to be able do to this.
Airplay however should work.
Funnily enough I tried Airplaying a movie my kids had started to watch on teh AppleTV2 yesterday and got audio only. This was from a local iTunes library so easy to do direct on the unit - I'd only tried Airplay as it should have continued from where they were watching rather than ahving to manually naviagte to there.

Specific Apple TV Setup? Rented Movies NO SOUND

Hi Everyone,
I wonder if there this anyone out here who's Apple TV is setup this way:
Apple TV >> HDMI Cable(AV) >> HDTV >> (Audio) Digital Optical Cable >> Home Theatre
I just got my Apple TV for 2 weeks now and set it up the way that is stated above. I have expected that the TV will display the picture of course and stream the audio out through the optical output to my home theatre's digital audio in via the optical cable. The setup works fine navigation through the menus, playing music and watching movie previews except for one BIG thing - it doesn't work when watching a rented movie. There is video on the TV but the audio isn't just going through the Apple TV to the TV and finally to my home theatre.
So I have tried this setup below:
>> HDMI Cable(V)>> HDTV
Apple TV
>> Optical Cable(A)>>Home Theatre
And it works on everything, especially the one that I am having issues with, watching a rented movie. Now I can forget it and keep the setup this way. But I am concerned about having to buy a splitter and another 2 optical cables just to connect other TV audio output to my home theatre which only has 1 digital audio in.(which most if not all systems do).
Now I am confused if there a way to keep my previous setup and make everything work.
Anyone who went through the same trouble? Or knows more? I'd be glad to hear your advice.
Thank you in advance!

I can only think that there may be some setting on the TV that is causing the problem or only Dolby Digital which originates from the TV itself is passed through the optical out.
On the matter of connecting the Apple TV to the receiver, most set ups would have all your devices connected to the receiver by HDMI and then the receiver would pass the video through HDMI to the TV.

HT3209 I do not have a simcard in my IPAD and seem to be able to view purchased and downloaded movies only when connected to WIFI. Is there a solution to this?

I do not have a simcard in my IPAD and seem unable to view movies that I purchased and downloaded from ITUNES when not connected to WIFI. Is there a solution to this?

How are you trying to access them ? If they are fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them via the Videos app, you shouldn't need to be online.

Apple TV Dvice and no Movies Tab

I have OS X 7.5.2 Apple TV 2.0 and iTunes 7.6. When i select the Apple TV under divices the Movie tab does not appear. Just Summary and photos appear. How do I correct this problem. Thank you for your help.
George

NO you don't have to change to Sync
I got mine working by doing the following:
1) remove your Apple TV from Itunes
2) do a factory reset on the Apple TV (this will remove the 2.0 update)
3) re update to 2.0
4) add your Apple TV back to Itunes , you can also do it after the factory reset before the 2.0 update
Your all set , you will now see the Movie tab and can move your rented movies over to Apple TV , on Apple TV a new menu will appear "Rented Movies"
So in summary I still 100% stream all my content and rentals show up fine. But please note that while you have Apple TV set to stream all your other TV and movie content , your rentals will be copied to the Apple TV hard drive

Updated to Apple TV 7 and My Movies Icon is Gone

Just updated my Apple TV to 7.0 and I have no longer have the Movies Icon. I can't access any movies at all. Did Apple remove the ability to rent movies from Apple TV???

I had the same issue but went to settings-general (down at bottom) and restart and it came back! Good luck, I hope that helps.

We are fellow users here on these forums, unless you give us some info as to what happens when you try to download it (e.g. are you getting any error messages) then we won't be able to try and help. Your post's title says 'purchased to rent' - is a purchase or a rental ?
For the page that you posted from, redownloading past purchases, films can't be redownloaded in all countries (rentals are one-time only downloads), and even where they can be redownloaded not all studios allow redownloading and there is no guarantee that a film will remain in a country's store for future redownloading.
