Can i limit which apple tv receiver gets which movies from the computer library

With 2 apple tv's can i allocate kids movies to one and restrict access to R rated movies for the other apple TV

Yes, there is a 'parental controls' section under 'General' settings on the Apple TV. In there you are able to restrict movies to G rated only if you prefer using different rating systems for different countries.
Good luck

Why did the Apple TV update remove "home movies" from the computer option in Apple tv?

AApple TV auto updated. 22 sept 2014. Most of the movies I have on my iMac were under itunes as "home movies". The Apple TV update removed the ability to see home movies in the "computer" option in Apple tv. I can see them on my iMac, but no longer have access thru my Apple tv. I can still see the few that are physically in "movies" in iTunes, but the Apple TV will now only show them. Thanks

Hello bernsteinr,
It sounds like an issue with Home Sharing. Check out the article below for more information on getting Home Sharing working again so you can see all the movies that you have on your iMac show up on your Apple TV.

HT1206 I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple IDs. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when synchronizing iPhone with iTunes?

I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?

Hi again,
After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!

I am new to this. How do I get my movie from my computer to the tv. I have apple tv. I am really dumb when it comes to this stuff.

I am new to this. How do I get my movie from my computer to the tv. I also have apple tv.

In iTunes turn on homesharing.
On your ATV turn on homesharing.
The ATV should then see your computer as long as you enter the same id on both machines.
Your content should then appear under the computer setting on the ATV, then watch away...

Apple TV (Gen 2&3) takes several hours to load a movie from the iTunes Library

I know this had been discussed before, but a went through all posts that I could find and never found a solution. I will list below everything I have tried and if anyone else has ANY ideas I would be extremely greatful to hear them! To reiterate the issue any time I try to play a movie from MY iTunes library it takes several hours before it will even start playing. Now, to what I have already tried...
1. I cycled my router first and after that didn't work I completely took it back to default settings. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme
2. I completely uninstalled iTunes and then reinstalled it with full library, and then I also tried with just one movie in my library that I know used to work. My home computer is a Windows 7 PC.
3. I restarted my Apple TV, and also bought a Gen. 3 Apple TV and tried it new out of the box.
4. I have tried to stream on both WiFi and hooked up to an Ethernet Cable.
5. I have tried with all firewalls turned off on the PC and router.
6. I have ended home sharing on all devices and restarted home sharing on just the Apple TV and PC.
7. I have turned off all devices using WiFi in the home.
That is all I can think of off hand so if you have any other ideas please do not hesitate to chime in so I can try something else. Do know that my Apple TV used to not have any issues and worked great since I irst purchased the Gen. 1 Apple TV.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. I just purchased the Apple TV software 5.0. Apple TV is working other than downloading movies. I have been trying to download one movie for the past two days. I have a wireless network, using AT&T DSL. I have tested the connection using the test option in the Settings area of the Apple TV, which passes.
I have also tried rebooting my Apple Tv and turned off all other wireless options. I am able to download Netflix movies using the PS3 without a problem, why not on my Apple TV. I hope I didn't just purchase this device to stream music and photos.
I hope someone has a solution to this problem.
By the way I just upgraded my modem and router (Airport Extreme).
Thanks for the help!!!!

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.

HT201317 My husband bought an Ipad 3. He gave me his Ipad 2. How do we get home movies from the 2 to the 3? I want to restore the 2 to the factory settings, but not lose these movies.

My husband bought an Ipad 3. He gave me his Ipad 2. How do we get the home movies from the 2 to the 3? I would like to restore the 2 to factory settings. As I understand, from reading "help", videos are NOT in the Photo Stream.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Is it possible for an iphone to get a virus from the computer?

let's say a computer has a virus and you connected your iphone to that computer. is it possible that the virus will transfer/replicate from the computer to the iphone?

You will get a lot of no answers to this.
With that said, I will say no too, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. As time has taught everyone, no device (computer, phone, etc) is safe. Currently as designed there isn't any way for one to infect the phone from just plugging in the phone by the nature of how it all works, however, that doesn't mean one day somebody can find some flaw and release one. Just currently there is nothing. You are more likely to get something from just browsing the web on the phone or being on somebody's wifi network and them exploiting some other security flaw.
While all known flaws are patched (if you are up to date) that doesn't mean another one won't be found.

I live in Europe France can I only download movies from the French Itunes site or is there a way for me to get english movies from the USA

I live in Europe, France, I want to use apple TV, but people tell me that the english movies on the French Itunes are very limited, do I have a way to get more English movies downloaded from Itunes?

There have been three or four questions like this one today relating to the apple stores in various countries. You have to have an account, credit card and address in the country in which the store resides. So you need a US store account, credit card and address to use the US store.
Since I used to live in France, have been frustrated trying to buy books and music from the French app store.

I did a restore from backup and lost all of my picture and videos from last night. Can anyone please tell me how to get them back from the cloud?

I did a restore from backup this morning. After it completed the restore I lost all of my pics and videos from Saturday. Can anyone assist in retrieving my files from iCloud? Thank you.

Have you not backed up or transferred your movies to your computer at any point before you dropped your old iPad?
If the only copy of these movies was on the old iPad, and that iPad is now gone, then so are the movies that were on it.

How do I move rented movies from the itunes library to my 1st generation Apple TV?

Any help with this would be much appreciated. If you read the Apple help functions it all seems so simple; it just tells you to select the movie & press the move button. There is no move button on itunes!! Alternatively you are asked to select Apple TV in devices - fine - and then select the movies tab. What movies tab? Nothing at all shows up when you select the Apple TV device apart from the serial number & the IP address.
The instructions are just impossible to follow as the functions described just do not exist in itunes 10. I am just so frustrated & the only solution appears to be to rent the movie again from the Apple TV. So I have to pay twice to just watch the movie once? I HATE Apple's attitude to owners of the 1st Generation TV. They are basically just saying stuff it, we really don't care!!

Use File -> Add to Library and navigate to the
files you wish to select. You can also select a
contiguous block by holding down the shift key as you
click from first to last item in a list. Then press
the "select" button. You aiff files should be added
to the iTunes library
Moriond,
It worked! and on my first try. And all at one time. Thanks a million. I still have to delete all the AIFF files and name the songs and artists in my iTunes library, but I'll do that tomorrow. For now, I'll just close out my day with this great achievement, thanks to you.

Can't receive a gifted movie from the US, in Canada? Please help!!

I was gifted a movie over iTunes from a good friend of mine, but I can't redeem it because I live in Canada... Is there a way to receive it? PLEASE HELP as soon as possible!! I'd really appreciate a quick answer. thanks!
edit: She lives in the US, if that wasn't clear.

Not directly; you need to be gifted money outside of iTunes and then spend it on that movie.
