ATV not Authorizing iTunes Store content

I purchased a movie from iTunes store but when I try to play it through the ATV it says that this ATV is not Authorized to play it. I can watch it on the iMac and I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer. Can anyone help?
Tks

I have the same problem. I rented a movie a few days ago and transfered it to my Apple TV. When I attempt to view the movie I get an error. I transfered the movie back to my Macbook and was able to start watching it--however when I push it back to the Apple TV I cannot watch the movie. I confirmed my Apple TV has access to the Internet because I was able to watch previews of other movies on it. Moreover, I tried reseting my router, computer, Apple TV, etc. to no avail. I have this same problem with two other movies I rented.

  • Not authorized to show content using airplay

    Just bought an Apple TV. I can push content to it from my iPad or iPod fine, and I can access my iTunes account on my computer fine. However when my boyfriend comes over, he cannot push content to the Apple TV from his iPad. The airplay icon shows fine, but when he tries, it says that he is not authorized to play content on this device. It doesn't make sense because when we were at his parent's place over Christmas, I was able to push content from my iPad to their Apple TV with no problems, even though I've never been there before and no authorizations were needed. We tried this with four or five different videos and songs, but to no effect. Each time it told us that it wasn't authorized. We also tried signing into the Apple TV using his iTunes account, but were still told the device wasn't authorized to play his content. Can anyone help?

    Did you try turning airplay off/on via ATV? Maybe rebooting the iPad? Having both devices signed into the same account?

  • Crashed laptop, new ipod - can I get my itunes store content?

    Hi, I just got a new i pod touch for my son as the old one was beyond repair (and kept by warranty repairers) His laptop has now broken and can't switch on. Is there any way to get his itunes store content via another PC. Also ,what if a repairer can get to his hard drive - can we retrieve it that way? Any suggestions appreciated as we are fighting in the dark here!

    Try here:

    Not all options/content may be available if outside the USA.
    Yes. Just copy the iPod media folder to the new computer if the above does not work. completely.

  • Downloading itunes store content in Turkey

    Hi I'm from Turkey and trying to download "12 days of Christmas" free gifts each day. So far I can doownload music & music videos but not the tv programs or games. What content is available & unavailable in Turkey?

    I agree totally with you guys.. hadn't really thought about it since my kids are still too small to use appleTV by themselves so i'm still in control, but this will likely be a problem in the near future.
    i guess minimally i could accept if parental controls allowed the iTunes store content to be filtered so it only showed content based on parental control setting. This would also be good to filter out even myMovies content as well. Right now it only stops kids from playing movies, but not seeing the movies artwork. i have some horror movies that i really don't want my kids looking at the covers for as well.
    Turning the iTunes store off totally would be idea for an appleTV that will be used by kids.

  • Could not complete iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-4)

    Apologies if this is a FAQ, these forums are a little hard to search.
    Mac OS 10.5.1
    iMac 2.8
    ITunes 7.15
    iPod
    IPhone
    I recently upgraded to the Mac above, added Lepoard, and could sync my music successfully. Then added an iPhone to the list in the last week or so, and also could sync. However, started to get error messages for many of the music in the library, which seemed to require me to re-authorize using some of the older account names I purchased under. Any attempt now to re-authorize the music, or re-authorize (or de-authorize) the computer, with any of the accounts, gives me the messsage in the subject line.
    "Could not complete iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-4)"
    So now I have about 30 gigs of uplayable music. Not happy. Any ideas ?

    I just synced my iPhone and got some errors stating that a few songs weren't authorized to play (it synced fine yesterday). I decided to deauthorize all computers (since I forgot to deauthorize two older ones a while ago). When I tried to reauthorize, I kept getting the -4 error. I had to try at least 5 times before it finally worked. Apple's servers must be getting hammered.
    I'm not sure if this matters... but on the last attempt that worked, I went to the menu-Store-Authorize Computer (instead of clicking on a iTunes purchase to authorize).
    <My address book (synced to Yahoo) is also unable to sync with my iPhone suddenly, too. Something weird is going on>

  • I have a "not authorized to view content" on my Apple TV.

    I have an Apple TV (1st Gen).  All software is up-to-date.  Last spring there was an issue where the Apple TV would not talk to iTunes.  After a week or so, Apple fixed the issue.  I was able to access and view all my movies on my iMac and I synced my Apple TV.  When I went on Apple TV I was able to watch all my movies except one, Les Miserable.  When I purchased the HD version a few months prior, I was able to watch the movie several times with no issues.  When I try to watch "Les Miserable" on Apple TV now, I get a message that says: "not authorized to view content."  I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or an iTunes issue.

    I have seen 3 potential solutions in this forum
    1) If you are using iTunes Match Store > Update iTunes Match
    2) Logging out of itunes store and logging in again
    3) Downloading Free single of the week - no idea why this should work but people have reported it does

  • I can not contact itunes store to update alication

    hi,
    i can not contact itunes store with my iphone to update application

    Im having a problem when in App Store and trying to download a game i keep getting error message saying "Can Not Connect to iTunes Store" since last night. Spent hours on the phone this afternoon with Tech Support since only 3 days old my iPad3, only to have him have me doing a restore after backing everything up...once off the phone i noticed the Restore wouldnt even work on my PC, saying an unknown error has occured. I am dreading having to call back and spend the next few hours on the phone with them on a brand new product. If still having problems going back to Apple Store in the local mall where hubby bought it for my bday present 5 days ago and will be demanding a brand new one... why should i have to restore a brand new product that was barely used during the past 3 days to factory settings..to me it is a product defect and want a new one since its brand new!! just thought id let you know what Apple Tech Support was having me do with basically same message. Good Luck.

  • I can not access Itunes Store from my computer. When I run the dianostic I get a red light that says "Secure Link to the Itunes Store Failed".

    I can not access Itunes Store from my computer.
    When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
    Can anyone help me on this problem?

    ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
