AUS : Why no TV show purchases on AppleTV 2nd Gen?

Hi All, I have recently purchased an ATV2...
My Apple TV (1st Gen) still shows a list of TV shows that can be purchased from iTunes, as does my iMac running iTunes 10.5.1.
Why is it that my new Apple TV (2nd Gen) cannot?

You cannot purchase TV shows on ATV 2 as there is no hard-drive. In the US you can currently stream purchased shows via iCloud but it hasn't been rolled out to other locations at this time (likely due to licensing).

  • HT4352 how can I move a movie purchased on AppleTV 2nd Gen to my Mac computer

    I am using an AppleTV 2nd Gen, and I purchased Skyfall and wish to move it to my Mac to watch.  How can I do this.  I have Home Sharing on correctly, however the AppleTV2 does not show on the iTunes sidebar and I do not see the movie in my purchased content.  Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community..
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • How to sync previous purchases to new 2nd Gen appletv?

    I tried searching but didn't find any posts that answer my question. I had the 1st gen apple tv and purchased many songs and movie titles. How do I sync my purchases to my 2nd gen apple tv?

    ATV2 doesn't have syncing capabilities, unlike the 1st model there is no permanent storage.
    You use home-sharing to see your iTunes library and you can access TV shows purchased via iCloud. If you have iTunes Match you can access that from the cloud via ATV2 as well.

  • IPhone4 pictures on AppleTV (2nd gen) have wrong aspect ratio

    Hello,
    I'm using AirPlay with an iPhone 4 and an AppleTV (2nd gen), my iphone
    pictures are displayed with a wrong aspect ratio (I mean really wrong
    aspect ratio, rounded stuff is showed "oval".
    Movies taken from my MacBook Pro are displayed correctly, any idea?
    Thansk!
    Alberto

    The screenshots aspect ratio is fine on the iPhone (and the picture is good if I transfer it to my MacBook) , but is displayed incorrectly when airplayed to the AppleTV.
    The AppleTV is attached to a 24'' screen, all the other stuff from AppleTV (menu, home page, films from internet and so on) are displayed correctly).
    Thanks again for your help!

  • HT202157 My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light.  What to do?

    My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light.  What to do? It showed a USB symbol point toward an iTunes symbol and won't reset after resetting with the remote.  Same thing.

    usb symbol pointing toward an itunes symbol is apples way of trying to get you to connect the appletv to your computer running itunes so it can restore the apple tv's software
    though it seems to be a connection few people make

  • AppleTV 2nd gen not updating YouTube app-

    Ok. Learned of the newest updates for apps on my AppleTV 2nd gen. Read about how the YouTube app was new and was hoping to play around with it. But when I got on, I found that it has not updated.
    I updated the software thru the Setting app. No joy. Restored the AppleTV to factory spec with supposed latest update. Still no joy.
    Anyone else have this issue? Searching has not revealed anything yet.
    My info:
    Model: MC572LL/A
    Software: 6.2.1 (6698.99.50.41)
    connected by ethernet to Apple Extreme Base Station
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the exact same problem. The other new channels from the Monday(?) update showed up, but my YouTube app has not changed. I have an AppleTV 2 (i.e. the first hockey puck), is the update limited to certain models?

  • AppleTV (2nd Gen) sound dropping from iTunes (as remote AirTunes speaker)

    Setup:
    - iTunes 10.0.1(22) on Mac mini (1st Gen Intel),Mac OS X 10.5.8, 1.000baseT
    - FritzBox DSL & WLAN router
    - AppleTV (2nd Gen)
    Accessing any content (sound, video, pictures) thru AppleTV from Mac mini works fine. Everything play well, no hickups.
    Playing music from iTunes on my Mac mini using the AppleTV like an AirPort Express with attached speakers drops and regains sound in unspecific intervals - like 5 secs silence, 20 secs sound, 10 secs silence, 5 secs sound etc.
    What can I do ?

    you might be suffering from _*wireless interference*_.
    perhaps one of your neighbor's wireless networks is interfering with yours. download iStumbler (free) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. *change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those*.
    note there may be hidden (closed) networks around that these apps won't pick up. however, KisMac will be able to. be aware, though, that in some countries (e.g. Germany) the use of KisMac may not be legal !

  • Watching iphoto home videos on Appletv 2nd gen

    How do I get videos from iphoto to my Appletv 2nd generation?

    Yes, I've tried that several times and when I choose "Add to library" from iTunes menu it pulls up the Finder.  I tried adding to Movies file and it appeared to work but they didn't show up there.  Tried adding it by highlighting and putting it on the right side and clicking "add to" but after ejecting iPad the videos weren't on iTunes.  What am I doing wrong?

  • How to restore content purchased on AppleTV (1st gen.) and lost in syncing?

    I am an Apple TV (first generation) user who lost all my content purchased directly to the Apple TV when I finally was able to get iTunes on my PC to recognize the Apple TV and then synced it. I did not know or understand about the "reverse sync" that I first read about in these support pages. When I first got the Apple TV, I had a very bad router and just could not get the PC and the Apple TV to talk, so I proceeded to purchase a number of TV series and movies directly onto the Apple TV. I have the receipts. Do you know of any way to get them back or re-download them? There must be a way. I'm talking about several seasons of TV shows and favorite movies for my kids, so it's a big loss.

    Open itunes and go to store->My Account->Purchase History -> Find all the receipt numbers for your missing content, copy and paste them into a text editor. Next find one of your purchases and click "report a problem". Explain that you purchased itunes content on your atv1 and it didn't sync back to itunes properly, paste the receipt numbers.
    Apple is under absolutely no obligation at all to do so, however their unofficial policy is to reflag these purchases for download (at least once, don't count on being so lucky a second time so make sure you have a good backup strategy this time). Note that a lot of ISPs with "unlimited data plans" actually have hidden caps starting around 60-100gigs. If your atv was near to full you might be hitting those caps when you redownload all the content in one fell swoop.
    G'luck.

  • AppleTV 2nd gen, iPhoto sharing, wireless

    I see if I purchase an Apple TV 2nd generation, I can show iPhoto pictures on my LCD TV wirelessly that are on my Macbook Pro and use my iPad as a remote control to switch between pictures that will appear on the TV.
    But what if I have iPhoto pictures on my Intel Mac Pro with no wireless card, can I set it's iPhoto preferences to share the iPhoto library, then use my Macbook laptop to subscribe to the Mac Pro's iPhoto library, and then have the AppleTV and my iPad show the pictures on my LCD monitor and use the iPad to control what pictures are shown wirelessly?
    Thanks

    I think I found the answer to my question. I can stream photos from my iPad to the Apple TV and I dno't need to mess with iPhoto sharing via another Mac on the wireless network.

  • I can't sync a t.v. show to my itouch 2nd gen

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a bunch of episodes from a show I like on iTunes and realized they were in HD. I saw that it also came with SD so it could be compatible with my iTouch only now my iTouch refuses to download it at all and I can't seem to find an option to download/sync the show into my iTouch using the SD version of the episodes. I can't even find the SD versions at all and I went to the previous purchase re-download tab and it already said that the SD version was already dowloaded. I am currently re-downloading all of the episodes.
    I've done my research online and I can't seem to find a straight forward answer. Is there anyone out there who can help me sort out this problem? How do I download it?
    My iTouch is 2nd generation, runs 4.2.1 (8C148), model MB531LL and has ample free space.
    Is there anyone who can PLEASE help me?

    Same problem here with an iTouch Model MB533LL (2006?) and 4.2.1. Bought TV show on itunes, and itunes on my mac insists the tv shows synced to the itouch but can't find tv shows under videos.
    - AARRRRG!

  • Can I Exchange AppleTV 2nd Gen With The 3rd Gen?

    Hi this is my first time posting. I got my AppleTV in the mail using my dad's points he racked up this last year. He owns a company that buys supplies from another company so we end up getting a lot of points fast. We ordered our AppleTV in mid-January and we got it about 2 weeks ago (Not sure have to check that). I was wondering can I exchange it in the Apple Store when the 3rd gen come out?

    Hey, I had the same question, and I fully exchanged mine actually through an exchange listing on eBay.
    Here's the link:

    This guy is a top-rated plus powerseller, and he actually fully exchanged mine for a brand new 3rd gen.
    highly recommended.

  • TS3623 AppleTV 2nd gen intermittent audio content out.

    My second generation AppleTV plays all content great to my Toshiba LED TV, but content out to the soundbar is intermittent.  iTune movie "Let Me In" doesn't but "The Replacements" works perfect and so on.  Same thing with Netflicks.  But my Blueray player using netflicks works perfect on every tittle from netflicks.  I have tested all four HDMI ports with the same result.  The AppleTV is dissapointing at this point.  Any Ideas?  Oh, the sound bar is the Polk Audio 3000.

    I have two HDTV's bought in the last 2 years and see no option on either to upscale.
    Your HDTVs panels will be fixed resolution - if the input signal differs the TVs have to up/downscale accordingly.
    AppleTV 1 allows you to set resolution from 480p/576p through to 1080i/p under Settings.
    If your TV is 1080p and you output 720p from AppleTV, the TV upscales automatically.
    If the TV has a 720p panel, but accepts a 1080p input from an AppleTV 1 it will downscale.
    For what it's worth I much prefer my AppleTV 1's. I too feel there's something subjectively worse about video quality on 2, menus in particular look rough edged/pixellated compared to 1- the output may just be sharper (or non anti-aliased menus) than gen 1.
    AppleTV2 definitely buffers/navigates faster and with more responsiveness, but the interface is not as polished as ATV1 and some features are still missing compared to 1 - early days though for ATV2, so I hope software updates will remedy some of these. Having recently read something about possible ATV2 revision with better CPU however, I wonder if it will have the same lifespan software upgrade wise as gen 1 did, though being iOS based this may help apart from hardware dependent things.

    The point was that I found the ATV1 to be better than the ATV2, IMO of course.

  • View images from enhanced podcasts on AppleTV (2nd gen)

    Is there a way to view the images embedded in enhanced audio podcasts through AppleTV? I listen to a number of photography podcasts that discuss particular images but the audio isn't much good if I cannot see the image. Thanks.

    An example would be any audio podcast of the Martin Bailey Photography Podcast or the History of Photography podcast by Jeff Curto... Is there a way to view the images embedded in enhanced audio podcasts through AppleTV?
    Okay... I selected the Jeff Curto "Photo History - Class 6 Spring 11 - Photography and Painting" podcast for test purposes. The easiest way to view this specific file on the TV2 device seems to be to simply lie to iTunes.
    1) Download the podcast in your normal manner.
    2) Delete the podcast from iTunes and send it to your trash can.
    3) Drag the file back to your desktop.
    4) Change the M4A (".m4a") file extension to M4V (".m4v").
    5) Re-import the file to your iTunes library.
    Your audio podcast will now load/play on the TV2 as if it were a video podcast.

  • AppleTV (2nd Gen): Photo folders get mixed up

    For my pictures I use a structured archive like:
    2010
    --Vaccation
    ----Trip to lake
    While FrontRow honors this structure, the new AppleTV flattens it and makes a larger archive horrible to navigate (tried both ways: sharing as album and sharing as Finder folder).
    Any work arrounds ?

    Agree, although I don't believe I had ever seen this in the older ATV either. I forgot this existed in Front Row. I just upgraded all my ATV gen 1 to the ATV 2 (streaming). Now, with over 30,000 picts avail. to all my ATVs in the house, the folder organization is critical. I takes about 30 secs to get to the end of the Events and of course finding anything in the photos section is not even usable. Need the Front Row folder hierarchy for ATV photos so there is some organization.
