Apple TV rentals and iTunes on iMac

I have rented movies on Apple TV. I want to download to watch on iMac but the rentals do not show up on my iTunes on iMac. How do I 'see' these rentals in iTunes on iMac?

Movies rented on Apple TV can only be viewed on Apple TV. If you want to move between devices then you need to rent via computer.
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

I get an "unknown error" message using Apple ID password on iTunes on iMac

I am unable to sign in to iTunes to download iPhone apps or purchase from iTunes Store. No problem signing in until today. I think I signed in during the preceding 5 days. But today, each time I typed my Apple ID password I got a red "unknown error," with NO error number. I changed my password but no luck. Problem persisted. I contacted Apple Support which walked me through many steps but, again, to no avail. I am able to use Apple ID with new password on my iPhone 5 and on my iMac for the App Store and other programs, but NOT to sign in to iTunes. I noticed a separate posting by someone describing these same symptoms for iTunes for Windows. So this may not be an Mac issue. Anyone have some thoughts?! THANKS.

I am having the same issues. My apple ID works from everywhere else (icloud, appstore, iphone, ipad), just does not work in iTunes.

Apple TV2 starts up iTunes on iMac

On occassion when I wake Apple TV with the remote, iTunes on my iMac will start playing. This has been happening both in Lion & ML.
I've searched through System, iTunes Preferences and Apple TV Settings and don't see anything that would cause it.

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Apple Remote App and iTunes

Hi
I've got the latest software on iTunes and my Remote App for iPhone and iPad. I've noticed from tint to time that when selecting the source in the Remote App (I.e. whether to play music / films etc from iTunes or my AppleTV I notice the icon for iTunes DJ appears (icon is several CDs stacked on each other). This only appears very occasionally and I have no idea what triggers its appearance. I would have though it should appear there all the time.
Anybody have any clues as to what is happening and why?
Thanks

Hi,
I have had and fixed a similar issue;
Setup;
Linksys ADSL router/model (4 port wired and wireless)
LAN Network = 192.168.0.x
Mac Mini wired into the router (on same LAN)
Airport Express wireless (driving my stereo speakers and acting as a wireless client on the same LAN)
Apple iPhone 3GS wireless with Apple Remore app
iTunes 9.blah (last 9.x version before 10 havent upg yet, iTunes all configured to use airtunes, remote speakers and remote app etc)
Now It will all work fine and dandy at first then if i stop itunes (and the remote app disconnects) after a while (5 to 10 mins) the mac goes to sleep to save power.
The mac doesnt wake up again to accept the connection from the remote app.
So I found an apple support article (cant find it now) that suggested that I set the "wake on lan" feature, this wakes the mac and itunes if the mac has slept. Its in the system preferences / energy saver (its something like "wake on lan" or "wake on network")
This fixes it for me.
Cheers

Syncing all my devices (Apple TV, iPads and iTunes)

Since my Apple TV get's it's songlist from my iCloud account, I want it to match my iTunes account. I've started using a product called SuperSync to achieve this. I have over 10,000 songs and really tired of messing with duplicates and the poor organization that iTunes does. So I've made my laptop the hub for iTunes. It's a PC running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.5.5. My library in "Preferences" points to my M: drive which is a NAS device. When I sync with the iCloud account, I get duplicates for all my current songs on my NAS device. So what I did was to move all my music off to an external USB drive and allow the sync from iCloud into a clean directory on my M: NAS drive. My goal is once this is complete, to copy the M: drive to my E: drive (iTunes Media folder) and change the preferences in iTunes to point at my E: drive instead of M:. After that I will use SuperSync to sync my files between my E: drive (local iTunes Library) to my M: drive (remote iTunes Library). This is the only way I can't think of that makes any logical sense. Any other ideas??

I would recommend to turn off the services that don't work properly or just disconnect your account for a moment and then add it back again.
On iOS: "Settings > iCloud" then turn off the services or delete the account for a moment
On the Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud
In most cases this helps to refresh thy sync process.

I'm unable to download Apple Keynotes vids and iTunes gimme an Error code (403)

I'm unable to download "WWDC 2008 Keynote address / Apple Keynotes" and iTunes gimme an Error code (403). Would anyone tell me what to do?

Either the service did not install when you set up iTunes, or it has been stopped for some reason. If you are using Win7, go to the start orb, click, type services at the bottom. Then look in the window that opens for the Apple service(s), and start them all. Then reload iTunes and try again. If you don't find an Apple service, then you will need to install iTunes again, and be sure it is the current (10.2) version.

Multiple devices: Apple/iCloud IDs and iTunes

Hi - I have a headache trying to figure this out reading articles on line.
Can someone please provide a simple explanation to do the following, and being very clear on Apple ID vs iCloud ID? I can't believe this is so complicated, but judging by the number of stories on this, Apple really needs to put out something step by step.
Currently I have one Apple ID and one iCloud ID, using the same email address, and also is the same as my iTunes account. I have a iPhone 5 tied to this, and manage my wife's 7th gen Nano using the same.
I just got my son an iPhone 4S. I would like to manage all of the content on his phone (music, apps) off of my account, but I'm reading that he need to have his own Apple ID and iCloud ID to use FaceTime, iMessage, track his phone location, and to keep his iCloud documents separate from mine (which makes sense).
So would someone be able to give me a quick step by step as to what needs to be done where on his phone, and if I can keep my email logged in on iTunes, or if we need to log in separately will we still have access to the same library?
Thank you for any direction you can provide.

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

Apple Remote Desktop and Itunes

I am using Apple remote desktop to connect to several servers with several users on each server. When Itunes is playing and I try to fast user switch, it will stop playing itunes on the user I am switching from.
Is anyone familiar with any problems like this? It is blowing my mind!
I am running the latest version of both Itunes and ARD.
Thanks!
Mike

It is if you are trying to stream it.
Users may want to stream their music into a third party program such as Ventrilo (as I do) to share their music (but not their libraries) with other listeners and speak on Ventrilo at the same time. You need two user profiles running Ventrilo at the same time, and two user profiles running iTunes.
When I roll over to User Profile #2 after setting up iTunes to stream into Vent in User Profile #1, iTunes stops playing. This is a recent change. It's annoying.
How do I change it?

Apple Tv 3 and iTunes 10.6.3

Hi there,
Does anyone know why my Apple TV 3 will not connect to my home sharing network with iTunes 10.6.3? I have two apple computers. One computer has iTunes 10.6.1 anthe Apple 3 Tv connects just find, but does not conect to the mac with iTunes 10.6.3. What is the problem?
stirred not shakened...

I had the same problem after upgrading itunes tonight on my WinXP machine. After restarting Appletv, turning off home sharing on appletv and then reentered my id as different id, turning off then on home sharing in Itunes. Nothing seemed to work. I then rebooted my router and PC...no idea which fixed it but it seems to have done the trick. I bought Appletv to get my music to my home entertainment center since it was the easiest to use Itunes...this frustrated the heck out of me tonight!!

Identical password for mobileme/apple ID/mail and itunes

how can i make my itunes password different from my apple ID/mobileme password?
I recently had 23 lots of 30 pounds taken out of my itunes account as a gift for someone i had never heard of in two minutes. they used 23 different passwords some had my name in some had my password with numbers ( none were my exact password )
I rang itunes who are doing nothing about it . They want american express to pay me back.
As a result i do not want my itunes account to have the same password as my mobile me/apple id password.
However when i change one, it changes them all.
thanks

If you are using your mobile me login as your iTunes store account then you can't have separate passwords, they are one and the same account. However your suggestion seems to suggest you are wanting a strong password on your iTunes account and a weaker one for your email etc. Best to change to a strong password full stop. If you are worried about fraudulent transactions remove your card details from your iTunes account and fund it via iTunes gift cards.
Your credit card company is responsible for reimbursing you so contact them.

Apple Mobile devices and Itunes is taking up 100% of my CPU and I can not get to the Itunes music store on 10.5

I have installed the 10.5 version of the Apple Itunes app. Now when I bring it up it takes up one whole CPU and my other CPU is used up by Apple Mobile devices. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2. I have tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling them but with no luck. Please if anyone has any advice I am all ears...

Thanks, Andrew for your help. Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay. Rebooted it and still won't go past login page. Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified. I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen. Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously. Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed? TIA again.

Apple TV 2 and iTunes-Device cannot be found

I'd be grateful for any help and/or advice.
Whenever I connect my Apple TV2 via microUSB to my Windows 7 PC to restore, the message pop out "Device cannot be found". I downloaded 5.2 firmware and restored the apple TV firmware by pressing shift key and it restored it perfectly well. Whenever I connect the device to my TV it works fine as well however the iTune message still says "device cannot be found".
Looking through the forum it appears that a number of other ATV owners have similar problem since iTune 11 release. Some managed to resolve the problem by restoring firmware however others like me are unable to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi I have same problem too.
Ihave windows 7 at my home desktop and latest version of iTunes. I bought this apple TV 2 from a friend of mine couple of days ago. It works perfectly fine when I plugged into my TV however the home sharing is still linked to my friend's email address so I tried to restore it by plugging into my iTune but meessage pops out everytime that device cannot be found. I tried re-installing as well however results remains the same i.e. device cannot be found.
Any help appreciated.
Please do let me know if you require additional information.
