Apple tv won't recognize movie I rented on main computer through iTunes. Tried everything, help!

I bought an older apple tv. I went to rent a movie and it said to go to my main computer and put in my information. I did that waited for it to download on my computer. After I downloaded it into my iTunes account, I went to the apple tv and it is not there. I made sure the apple tv was updated, but I still can't find it.

If by older Apple TV you mean the first generationb model, then see this.

  • HT202213 Apple tv won't recognize home share from my computer

    I have turned on home shareing on both imac & apple tv but apple tv won't recognize my imac. the display just says turn on home shareing.
    I managed to get to work once after I downloaded the latest version. It picks up the network ok, movies and music work fine.

    if firewall in router or on the computer is not letting the shared lib be avaible then you need to change that

  • Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

    I have the first ipad and it won't recognize the charger and also the computer won't recognize the ipad when I plug it in to sync. Any ideas why?

    If your using the same cable for your wall charger as you are for your computer, than the problem is probably within the cable (if there isn't visible damage to the cable of coarse). The quockest solution would be to buy your self a new cable. There is probably nothing wrong with your wall adapter, so just the cable will do.

    Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.

  • If i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?

    if i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?
    i havent used my computer in two years. in that time i recently got a iphone4s and started another apple id.
    i just set up my computer and my itunes on my computer has a different id. is it possible to merge these as one? the itunes on my computer has a no longer working email as well.
    so if i go to change the info on that to my current email it obviously wont let me because it is registered to "someone" else... ME..
    so is there any way to make the one on my computer the current one i have on my phone so i dont loose ALL my music from my computer??

    Sorry, but Apple IDs cannot be merged. You can, however, use more than one Apple ID/iTunes Store account on your computer and hence on your iPhone. If you've forgetten the password to your older ID, see:

    once you get in, you can change the email address associated with that ID so that receipts and such are emailed to a current address.

  • I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

    Hi,
    My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
    Please help.

    The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage

  • Quicktime won't recognize MOV files?

    QT won't open MOV files, and gives a -2048 error that says it is not a file it recognizes. I know other people who are able to open the same files fine on their Mac computers, so I don't think it's a problem with the file...

    The -2048 error message usually means the file is MPEG-2 format.
    QuickTime can't view MPEG-2 without additional software ($20).

  • Apple tv won't recognize my password and or id

    Trying to setup my Apple Tv. I won't recognize my password and/or ID. I logged on to apple to reset everything and got a confirmation email.
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What type of wifi security are you using.
    Does your ID or password have any unusual characters.
    Are you getting any date/time errors.
    Is this the first time you have used the Apple TV.

  • Apple TV won't play movie

    I have the original Apple TV with a hard drive.  Since I upgraded my computer to Yosemite I can no longer rent a movie with Apple TV.  Tonight Apple TV asked for my Apple ID user name and password.  Ok, I enter it.  I then select a movie to rent.  A dialog box comes up and says you have 30 days to watch it, etc.  When I click on OK the screen just returns to the list of movies.  It doesn't start a download like I've seen before.  Nothing.  So I turn off Apple TV and restart.  Try again, same thing.  I scroll over for a software update and it says it just checked, but doesn't offer an update.  I assume I'm current.
    I guess I'm at a loss as to what to do to get it to allow me to rent a movie.
    Any and all suggestions welcome.

    ...do you get a message?

  • Apple TV won't recognize HomeSharing and no AirPlay on iPad

    Hey, I bought an Apple TV and I just can't set it up. My Mac,iPad2 and Apple TV are all on the same network. HomeSharing is turned on both on my Mac and PC's but Apple TV won't see it. It's on version 5.0 and the iPad on version 5.0.1 but no AirPlay button, no idea why.
    Any ideas?

    This usually indicates a network issue.
