Buy movies on Apple TV

Two strange things happened when I rehooked up my Apple TV. One, I was only able to buy certain movies (ie, The Wild). Secondly, when I went over to my computer hooked up to the same computer and opened Itunes (it was already open on my Mac upstairs), I got a message about an upgrade to 7.6.1 which also came across the tv screen as my kids were watching the movie. Anyone else see this and since when can you buy movies off the Apple TV.

Can anybody tell me why
Undoubtedly, as has been discussed in these forums many times, because Apple has not been able to obtain the rights to sell movies in Austria.
and when it will be possible?
No one, either here or at Apple, can tell you. Apple will make an announcement at such time as they've worked out the licensing and are ready to start offering movies in your country, should that ever be possible. Sorry, but you'll just have to wait and hope for the best.
Regards.

    Hi,
    Please help me. Because when I try to buy movie from Apple TV, it says that I need to verify my payment information. I have tried every possible way but nothing works.

    You need to go into iTunes on your computer and make sure billing is correct, including address and security code

  • Buying movie on Apple TV

    I did some searching and checked the FAQs for buying movies, but couldn't find a quick answer.
    Basically I want to buy Sherlock Holmes. I would rather buy it in HD on my Apple TV rather than on Blu Ray. But if I buy it on the Apple TV, will I be able to watch it on my iTunes on my laptop? I know I can buy it on iTunes and sync to my Apple TV, but it wont be in HD. Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    They are TV Shows, but i've been have a quick look around the Web and there is nothing to suggest that HD Movies should not play in iTunes if purchased via that route. What if you don't own an Apple TV?
    Have a look at this screenshot thats taken from iTunes Canada. it quite clearly states you can play HD movies on your PC / Mac:

  • Why can't i buy movies on apple tv?

    I want to be able to buy movies straight through apple tv and it wont let me.

    There is no storage for purchased content, nor is there a way to sync them back to iTunes.
    I suppose it might have been possible to allow purchase and then download to iTunes, but that wouldn't have been all that much more intuitive.

  • Unable to buy movies in Apple Store

    In the Dutch iTunes store I do mis the item 'Movies' So I`m not able to buy a movie to download it to my Iphone.

    Apple has not at this time been licensed by the content owners to sell movies in The Netherlands. When, or indeed if, this will happen none of us here can say. It's almost completely up to the owners of the distribution rights in The Netherlands, though.

  • Can you buy movie from Apple TV 2, with home sharing?

    I like the new Apple TV 2, but wish I could buy, and have it store on my Mac from the Apple TV interface.
    Last night I had to go to my IMAC to buy Iron Man, then wait for the full HD to download to get it to stream to the Apple TV. (30 minutes...)
    I use to be able to select buy and start watching it in 5 minutes.
    Any ideas?

    I completely agree with you. You should be able to buy it and watch it instantly on ATV and then when you sit down at your Computer it would be in your purchased Que to download.
    I really hate the 30 day lag on new movies rentals. When new movies come out now i generally just download them for free from the Usenet servers. I'd be willing to rent them if they were available but not really interested in buying most movies.

  • Newbie Question... Buying movies on apple tv...

    If I buy a movie through itunes on apple tv, to I have to re-download it every time I want to watch it? Or will it download once and then be ready to go for whenever. I don't want to buy a $19 movie if I have to wait for it to download every time I want to watch it.
    Silly question. I know.
    Thanks

    Yes you will have to reload it as there is no accessible storage on the Apple TV. If you purchase in iTunes you can then use home-sharing to stream to ATV.
    Note: movie reloads are only available in the US.

  • Cannot rent & buy a movie from Apple TV but no problem on MAC iTunes_ Security Code issue

    I cannot rent or buy movies from Apple TV while my credit card details are correct and exactly the same as on iTunes. I am getting a security code request it's 3 digits but doesn't go further unless i insert 4 digits... as a result I get an invalid security code error...

    When you view the main page on the Apple TV and select the movies option you should see the rental on the top shelf. There is also a rental section at the top of the page once you enter the movie section.

  • If I buy a movie on Apple TV can I transfer it onto a hard drive and also can I sync it to download on my computer?

    I want to start buying movies directly off apple tv but want to be sure I can download them to my Mac,Ipad, or Ipod. Also can I move the movies to a hard drive so I know I won't lose them if something happened to the unit. Any help is appreciated...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To the best of my knowledge you cannot currently buy movies via the Apple TV 2. You certainly can't here in the UK, where rental is the only option for all available content.
    It's my understanding that US customers can purchase TV shows, but I don't believe they can currently purchase movies

  • HT200109 Why only sometimes does movies on Apple Tv show the buy option, I need it there all the time?

    Why only sometimes does movies on Apple Tv show the buy option, I need it there all the time?

    Two reasons:
    The movie companies control what Apple can sell/rent - sometimes they simply change it to purchase only or rental only.
    Secondly, if your Settings for Itunes store are set to HD sometimes you won't see an option to purchase or even teh movie at all if it's only available in SD.
    There are also sometimes discrepancies between iTunes on computer and AppleTV implying the stores work slightly differently or have different connections.  Check if it's available in iTunes.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
