Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The Apple TV doesn't play DVD's or DVD images, DVD's would need converting to h264.

Seem to have lost air play ability via apple tv after upgrading to iOS5

seem to have lost air play ability via apple tv after upgrading to iOS5

Nope, i was able to download it in the Middle East...
Apple always releases updates to everyone in the same time... (unlike Android and Nokia)
Something is wrong...
What ou can do is unplug the appletv from the electricity and the hdmi, plug it ony to your laptop using a mini usb plug (the one used by many cameras and tech devices)...
Open itunes, find the apple tv, click on restore and let it download from laptop...
That oughta update the firmware to 4.4.1...

If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

If you are referring to the 1st gen (bigger aluminum box with hard drive)

If i rent the movie on macbook can i play it on Apple TV

ONLY!! And all of Apple forgets to post this, you must remain connected to the internet, for your Macbook to authorizes playing your movie. If you do not have internet at home, or where you playing, like camping, traveling in the RV and so forth, you will not be able to play even a downloaded movie resting on your computer.

Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played on non-apple music devices that do not support the M4A format?

Yes, of course it is legal.
To convert the format, follow one of these documents:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
iTunes 11 for Mac: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Also note that you have the option of buying your files in MP3 format in the first place, from Amazon MP3 or other online retailers. MP3 files will work in iTunes as well as virtually every other player, program, and device.

I have iPod apps (from the App Store) like ABC player, NBC player and Facebook. Can I view these via Apple TV on my tv?

I have iPod apps (from the App Store) like ABC player, NBC player and Facebook. Can I view these via Apple TV on my tv?

This is app dependend. From each app, look for the AirPlay icon (square with the triangle). You may see it or not or you may also see only an audio icon (like probably for ABC and NBC) as some app prevent video AirPlay.
For Facebook, the anwer is no. In order for it to work, you need AirPlay mirroring which isn't supported on iPod.

Can I play DVD on my PC and stream it to Apple TV ?

We don't usually buy movies online and we're not going to do that in the future. So is it possible to play DVD on my laptop and watch it on my big screen through ATV ?

There is a way around this. You can "rip" the DVD on your PC and then import the "ripped" movie into iTunes and then you can stream it via ATV2 to your TV.

HT4743 Have purchased a movie on apple TV and would like to have the movie available to my ipod and computer but am unable to see it in my ipod/computer library. Movies bought from itunes via the computer can be played on both apple TV and the ipod.

Have bought a movie via apple TV and would like to have it available on my computer and ipod but it doesn't appear in the library on either. If I purchase a move from itunes via the computer it's available on both my ipod and apple TV. Can anyone help?

Simply download the content on the computer from the purchase history.

Can't play dvd's in quicktime

I'm trying to convert movies to MP4 to get them on my I-pod video. I get how to do that, but I'm trying to simply open a DVD on quicktime, and i can't! I open finder, double click on the DVD name and all that comes up is VIDEO_TS, and all i can get from there is a bunch of random files... Does anybody know why i can' open DVD's on quicktime?

QT does not play DVD movies natively. Apple does sell a mpeg2playbackcomponent that plays some DVDs but it has a number of limitations, including that it will not play mpeg-2 in transport stream format. It also will not play encrypted commercial DVD movies or sound that is in AC3 format. It does not export sound from mpeg2. Read the FAQ for the component here:

How do I play DVDs through Apple TV on my HD TV?

I need some basic help please.
I own a large collection of movie DVDs. These are conventional pre-recorded DVDs that I purchased in retail stores. I would like to play them on my flat screen HD TV.
If I purchase Apple TV (don't currently own), what additional equipment will I need to be able to play my DVDs through Apple TV? And, what are my options for physically or wirelessly connecting?
I have been researching this question, but the answers I find are not clear. Are there some writeups that would explain my options, configurations?
Thank you,
Dale

There is currently no official way to do this.
iTunes cannot rip DVDs as it can CDs to play across your local network.
While there is software out there that can potentially rip DVD and convert to an AppleTV compatible format, this would potentially require circumventing encryption on DVDs on commercial DVDs - as such this could be technically illegal in your country and Apple's T&Cs for the forum therefore prevent discussions of methods of circumventing copy protection, even if for 'fair use' with DVDs you have purchased.
The next Mac OS X version supposedly has Airplay to send computer video to AppleTV but whether it will work on all machines or just new ones (in a similar way to features not always working on older iPhones etc) we do not know. Also we do not know if things like the DVD player app or certain website content will be precluded from Airplay if the copyright holder disables Airplay functionality in the website markup.

Hallo i have beige g3 desktop with bordaux grfx card but can no play dvd

i was give a fine g3 with bordaux personalitty card i know because i see in other posts i have this but i cannot see dvd films. i have systam 9 with 640 RAM plz haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp.

If you truly have a G3 with a Bordeaux personality card, it uses an on-board hardware decoder. You didn't mention what version of OS 9 you're using, but if it's 9.2.2, you're probably trying to play a DVD using Apple DVD 2.7, and it won't work. Try uninstalling DVD Player 2.7 and associated INITs (Extensions) and installing DVD Player 1.x (I use 1.2, I believe 1.3 works as well.) Keep the previous player and INITs backed up somewhere just in case.
You can find Apple DVD Player 1.3 on the 9.1 install disc and 8.6 update, IIRC.
Good luck and let us know.

How can I transfer my music from an external hard drive to my Time Capsule and can I play it through apple TV?

All my music is currently stored on an external hard drive, but I would like to transfer everything onto my Time Capsule, so that everything is backed up, what is the best way to do this?
Is there a way I can then play all the content stored on the Time Capsule through apple tv without the need to clog up my macbook hard drive?

Did you import the music on the external hard drive into your iTunes library on your new PC or point iTunes at the location of your library stored on the external hard drive?

I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. Can I use mirroring via Apple TV? If so. how.

I'm having no trouble sending stuff from my iPod Touch to my TV via Apple TV, but can't seem to get my
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac to do so, as the mirror icon is not appearing in the Menu bar on top.
1. Can my processor mirror?
2. If so, how do I get the iCon to appear in the Menu bar

Looking at your processor, you haven't got a compatible Mac. AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
To mirror the Mac's display to the Apple TV, use an application like AirParrot or Beamer > http://www.airparrot.com
If you want to use AirPlay to send music or videos to the Apple TV, open iTunes and you should see the AirPlay icon on the iTunes toolbar
