Can I watch anything purchased in HD?

I read earlier that there was no way to watch HD movies or HD episodes of tv shows on an iPod Touch. if this is true, then why sell HD content? the whole point is to watch things on the go!

The Touch doesn't have the screen resolution to play HD. Watching things "on the go" is not the only reason to buy from the iTunes Store. When you buy HD movies/television shows, you also get the SD version for syncing to your iPod. The HD version can be played on your computer or Apple TV. Personally, I do much less watching of television and movies on my Touch than I do on my HD TV using my Apple TV.
You can also just buy the SD versions if you only want to play them on your Touch. They're cheaper.
Best of luck.

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

HT1657 I have rented a movie and the download didn't start. Now everytime I try to play it I can't and I can't download it. I've been charged but can't watch my purchase. How do I just return it and rent it somewhere else? Too much of a hassle.

Can I watch anything using the Apple TV?

I am thinking about purchasing a Apple TV, but I am a little confused about what I can do with it.
For example, if I want to watch something on the internet can I use the Apple TV to watch it on my TV?
Or, if I have a DVD that I want to watch, can I open it on my computer, and then play it through my Apple TV?
Or do I have to rent everything from iTunes?
Thank you!!!

If I want to watch something on the internet can I use the Apple TV to watch it on my TV?
No, you cannot watch anything from the internet other than You tube, Flickr and the itms trailers and previews.
if I have a DVD that I want to watch, can I open it on my computer, and then play it through my Apple TV
No, all content must come from itunes.
Or do I have to rent everything from iTunes?
No, not at all. You can watch anything provided it is in the correct format.

How can I watch itunes purchases on my samsung smart tv?

I received a nice Samsung Smart TV as a Christmas gift and I have a couple unwatched movies I purchased on iTunes that I'd like to be able to watch on my TV as I do with the HBO Go, NetFlix, Amazon apps on my Samsung TV, etc. Is there an app I can download to watch iTunes purchases just as I watch Netflix et al? Before I had my smart TV or blu ray players with Netflix and Amazon I used to just connect my MacBook pro to my HDTV, but I feel like this method is quited outmoded now and was hoping for a different solution...
I know people will likely suggest purchasing Apple TV, but I don't see the point when I only own a couple iTunes movies/TV shows and already have a smart TV and two blu ray players with Netflix et al. Also, what else is Apple TV good for that my Smart TV and blu ray players and MacBook pro cannot do?
Would be great if they'd just develop an app that I can install on my smart TV, even if I had to pay a little bit for it... it's much preferable and easier than buying yet another overlapping product.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

There is an amazing FREE server named Plex. Go to the website and install the app on your MacBook. Now open the app and follow the instructions to select your movie folder. You would want to select your iTunes movie folder in this instance. You can select a different folder for TV shows. You can also select more than one folder for each category. Now while plex matches your movies with MetaData and cover art etc, go to your TV app store and install plex. Follow through the instructions and add your IP to Plex on your TV. And there you go, wirelessly streams your contact over your internal network! It works great I have used this for a long time.
Any questions just ask

How many times can I watch a purchased movie?

Dear community,
I just downloaded a movie via the iTunes store and I watched it successfully.
At my second try to watch it again, I received a message saying: "You can't watch this movie on this PC."
Anyone had this issue too? I'm using iTunes 10.4 on Windows7 PC and this was my first movie download.
I paid 9.99 EUR for this movie (Salt) !! I can't believe that this purchased movie can only be watched once!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Best regards

You own it. You can watch it as many times as you like.
What exactly does the error say?

Can't watch anything online that requires a login into verizon.

Ok so basically if I try to watch anything for instance
http://www.adultswim.com/videos/tim-erics-bedtime-stories/roommates/
It asks me to login to Verizon, I do. Then it tells me "To watch videos, you will need to subscribe to FiOS TV."
Well I already have FIOS TV as is pretty obvious if you look at my acount.
Also half the time I get Java oracle server errors or just any kind of random error.
Why is this happening, can you please check your servers or whatever is broken on your end.

Hi, for this type of a problem you'll want to reach out to Verizon using the contact us form.
When you do a live chat - I would just ask them like this "Hi, I am trying to use the FiOS TV online website, and any show and any network I click on does not like my log in credentials. can you check to see what I should be using? Today I am using the following username _______" thanks
then they will check and let you know what will work, and if they can fix it if it is a problem

How can I watch previously purchased movies on my ipad?

How can I watch my previously purchased movies on my ipad?

You cannot stream them to your iPad unfortunately... You can download them however. Go to the iTunes Store app -> tap the purchased button at the bottom right -> tap the view: Music in the top left and select Movies. From there you can download the one you want...

Can I watch iTunes-purchased movies from an Airport Extreme USB disk?

With the newest Airport firmware (7.6.1), it seems I should be able to do this.
My scenario is so basic, I can't understand why I'm having trouble achieving this.
- I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.2 - since it's a laptop, I don't want to leave it on all the time.
- I have an AirPort Extreme with a USB disk on it (that I use for backing up my MacBook), recently upgraded to newest firmware 7.6.1.
- I have a recently purchased Apple TV hard-wired to the AirPort running firmware 4.4.4.
- I have purchased movies though iTunes on the MacBook Pro.
I want to watch my iTunes-purchased movies on my Apple TV even when my MacBook Pro is sleeping. That is, I would like the movies to be accessible via iCloud, or stored on the USB disk connected to AirPort Extreme, or something/anything.
It seems obvious to me that with an all-Apple set up, and iCloud, this should be easy to achieve.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
j

Can't watch YouTube purchased movies on Apple TV

I purchased an Apple TV 3 with the knowledge that it supported YouTube. I can log in to my YouTube account, see my Favorites, Subscriptions, Watch Later, etc. But movies purchases on YouTube and placed into Favorites or Watch Later do not appear on Apple TV. I cannot find them anywhere on Apple TV. They do appear on my PC YouTube lists. How do I get movies I purchased and own on YouTube to show up and play on Apple TV?

It does but not all content is available outside of the website based on uploader preference, copyright etc.

Can't watch a purchased movie on the apple tv

unfortunatly the movie keeps downloading but I can watch it all on the Ipad while on the TV I only hear the sonor- any body an yidea how to solve the issue?

Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
What is your speed via speedtest.net
1080p requires 8mbps
720p needs 6mbps
You can change to SD in settings
Interference can cause issues, verify via istumbler or netstumbler
Should be using ISPs DNS (settings - network - DNS should be automatic)

Can't watch anything
