Apple TV will not preview iTunes store items

sound on the apple tv is working and i can browse the store but previews for music tracks are silent.
anyone else have this problem?

For me the song previews play but are totally chopped up, like some kind of special effect. Silence would be preferable! They play fine in iTunes on my PC.

  • My apple TV will not let me purchase items direct from iTunes and I am logged in. why?

    I have nmot been able to rent a movie from my apple TV. I am logged into iTunes. When I try and rent a movie it tells me that I need to varify payment on my computer. I have then rented a movie from my PC  but this will not show up on my apple TV, and indeed the "rented Movie" option is not in my movies list. I have the latest version of softeware, 3.02, and have tried resharing the library. No Joy
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check you are using the correct location in the Apple TV store settings.
    Try changing a few details and changing them back before updating when you verify in iTunes, also check that your details are correct (ie that you have filled the state field out properly and so on)
    Rentals don't just show up on the Apple TV when you have rented then on your mac/PC,you need to transfer them.

  • Apple TV Will Not Play iTunes Content

    This is my last resort. The notion of paying Apple thirty dollars for simple support is ridiculous. For several days now, I've been entirely unable to access any purchased content through my second generation Apple TV. No music, movies, or TV shows. Which is especially important, because I just dropped over a hundred dollars on the new HD remastering of Batman 66', with a courtesy tax towards Apple. I could have bought it on Blu-Ray but felt having instant access to these episodes through my iOS devices and most imporantly, my television, would far outweigh the benefits of a hard copy.
    I can see now that faith was misplaced. It evidently was a mistake to finally purchase this very expensive show through Apple and their products. If I cannot watch a purchased television show on my television with a product designed to access this purchase on said television... That is distilled failure. Apple's failure to ensure their products and services to work as advertised and purchased. Most certainly in the future, any purchases through iTunes will be second-guessed and hesitated. A Blu-Ray needs no faulty authentication. I've lost trust in the silver and black monolith that is Apple. They are fallible.
    Additionally, before that Churchill dude or whoever shows up, yes. I've tried everything. Restarting or resetting, Apple TV or Router. Digital Audio on or off. I've have tried every available solution known to the layman. This issue clearly resides within Apple's walls or servers most likely. The progress bar loads, authenticates, and reassuringly everytime a yellow triangle comes. To tell me no, not today, you will not be using what you paid for.

    I assume it was bought with the saem AppleID you are logged in to iTunes with on the AppleTV?
    Have you tried restarting AppleTV?

  • My Apple TV will not stream itunes matched.

    iTunes is turned on, matched and works on my iPad, but not on the Apple TV.  When I go to the music part of the menu, There is a message that Apple TV is setting up iTunes match.  It has been this was for many days.  It did take hours for Match to wrok on my Mac.  I've let this run overnight several times.  I play music from my computer when I want music, but shouldn't Match work?

    Well, I restarted my Apple TV and it set up matching just fine...don't know what the problem was, but it working now.

  • HT4352 Apple Tv will not load iTunes library.

    Upgraded to Mountain Lion and latest Apple upgrade. Now I cannot load any iTunes library. Everything else on Apple TV works (Photostream, etc).  Network is OK and trouble shooting is not offering any solutions.
    Is it the itunes library itself or is it Apple TV?
    Is anyone else having these problems?

    I've encountered this same issue this morning. First use of my Apple TV 2 since upgrading to Mountain Lion. Mac was awake when I tried (I actually started out by trying the AirPlay mirroring from the Mac, which worked fine). When I tried to access my library in any way, the Apple TV displayed: "There are no [videos/playlist/songs/etc.] in this library."
    I have just managed to get mine working by restarting the Apple TV (Settings/General/Restart) and it's playing music as I type. I've been reading reports mentioning ML's sleep, so I guess time will tell whether this restart will be a permanent fix.

  • Apple TV3 will not load a movie I have rented. When I go to Settings/iTunes store/rented movies it still will not load.

  • Does VUDU come on Apple TV? If not, how do you recommend that Apple at it to the iTunes Store?

    IS VUDU available on Apple TV?
    If not, how do you recommend that Apple add it to the iTunes Store?

    It is not listed in Apple's list of Apple TV apps…
    https://www.apple.com/appletv/whats-on/
    You would need to do something to an Apple TV that will get this post deleted, see if you can guess what that is.
    You could just buy a device that actually supports the services you need…
    https://www.roku.com - it is a channel that can be added to a Roku.
    http://www.vudu.com/setup_roku.html
    Other media boxes also support Vudu (Chromecast, Xbox, Playstation, Android, WDTV… basically everyone who isn't Apple).
    If you think Apple will add Vudu as an Apple TV channel ask them via the feedback form. Just bear in mind that Vudu directly competes with iTunes video sales & rentals.

  • TS1368 My apple ID will not let me into iTunes.  Please help.

    Would somebody help me find out why my verified Apple ID will not allow me into the iTunes Store?  Thank you for your help.

    To use iCloud, you will have to change your AppleID to an email address - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    The old AppleID rules used to allow you to use any name you wished, but that was stopped a long time ago, and iCloud will not accept such an AppleID, so you will either need to change it, or create a new AppleID just for iCloud.
    BTW, the apps you are downloading have nothing to do with iCloud or your iCloud account.  The cloud icon in the App and iTunes stores merely indicates the app lives "in the cloud" as the storefront is an entirely internet based service.

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

      Apple TV will not give me a "password sign in" for iTunes even though it recognizes that my password is wrong (it's new). Help!

    Hi letjimdoit,
    If you are unable to get to the screen that allows you to enter your password on your Apple TV, you may want to first try restarting the Apple TV. Use the steps in this aricle -
    Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
    If the same issue continues after restart, you may want to restore the Apple TV. See this article -

  • How to link apple tv to itunes on macbook. apple tv will not play on tv.

    Do I have a defective unit? Apple TV will not come on the tv or my macbook, my itunes on my macbook will not recognize it. Used several different HDMI cables and tried in all the differnt ports on the tv. Power light will come on the unit but will not show on either my tv or laptop.

    The only way to get an ATV recognized on a computer is to physically plug it in via USB, has that been tried?
    With the ATV connected to the tv, were all inputs toggled through on the tv?  Not just physically moving the HDMI cable from one port to another.

    All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes.  It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
    Can anyone help  I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
    Not sure why this has just started happening.  have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error... 
    THanks

    Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.
