Can I watch movies on Apple TV that are on my time capsule?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, so long as the movies on your time capsule are part of your iTunes library and iTunes is running on your computer.

  • Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

    Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

    The Apple TV looks for iTunes, which is likely on your computer.
    I know of no way to "tell" the Apple TV to look for anything. It is pre-programmed to look for iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • How to backup the files that are into the Time Capsule HD? is it possible?

    Hi my question is not so simple...I think
    I'm using a TC only as a router and a network HD
    and I saved on it all my movies, tv shows and also my itunes library and iphoto library to share all this stuff also to my mac mini which is connected to my Plasma tv.
    I wanna know if is it possible to backup with time machine the TC hard disk
    because I don't know how to tell to time machine to backup not my macs but my TC.
    I read this article that explain How to enable Time Machine on unsupported volumes
    http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/how-to-enable-time-machine-on-unsupported-vol umes/
    You think that if I activate this option Time Machine can read from TC and make a backup of it?

    No, sorry, Time Machine cannot back up a network drive.
    You can copy ("archive") everything on the TC's internal HD to a USB drive connected to it, per the green box in #Q6 Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. That's probably the simplest and easiest way, but it's also likely the slowest.
    Or, see Kappy's post on Basic Backup, complete with links to the web sites of each product. I've also heard that Chronosync may work for this purpose.

  • HT1657 can I watch a rented movie on apple tv that was purchased on my phone

    Can I watch a rented movie on apple tv that was purchased on my phone

    I"m curious if the movie had been fully downloaded to the device before you turned on airplane mode.

  • HT4557 If I rent a movie on my iPad can I watch it on apple tv

    If I rented a movie on my iPad through iTunes can I watch it on apple tv?

    I dont think so.  I believe it requires internet to start watching, but you can continue watching offline.  I am really not certain I dont really rent things, I prefer to own my content.

  • I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

    I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

    Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
    you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
    Here's the list.
    Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
    then VLC, - http://videolan.org
    DivX - http://divx.com - and the
    Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
    This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
    These are codecs you should see.
    In System/Library/QuickTime
         AppleIntermediateCodec.component
         AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
         DivX Decoder.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
    In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
         AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
         Perian.component
    For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
    Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
    By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
    It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
    .avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
    Good luck!

  • Can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac

    can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac?

    Streaming over wireless.. Hmmm if I say it works well and it doesn't I will get the blame.. if I say it doesn't work and he tries it and finds out it does.. he will think I'm a dupe or a dope..
    There is no single right answer. On paper yes, wireless can do it.. in practice.. it depends on a huge number of variables. My experience.. and not with this equipment.. is that wireless can happily stream a show for an hour.. and then suddenly start to judder and flutter and pause and cause angst and misery. I don't trust it. Try it and see.. it might work good for you. It might work sometimes.. it might not work at all. Or it could just be snail like slow. Use the experimental method.. suck and see.
    On more general note.. what files are you going to play from the TC.. I use WD Live as it plays everything.. Apple make the ATV to link to itunes.

    Regards.
    If there are specific golf 'channels' out there or particular events, I would go to their websites and look to see if there are any iPad apps - they may well be subscription based though.
    Also if there are apps, check out reviews in iTunes or the developer's sites as many apps with copyrighted video will only send audio to AppleTV so best to find out before subscribing to anything.
    How do you watch these channels/events now?

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.
    Regards.

  • I rented to HD movies on Apple TV, biuth at the same time.  I was able to watch one, butb the second says - error while laoding this content, try later - well I tried later numerous times and continuemto get same message.  what is my next step??

    I rented two HD movies on Apple TV, both at the same time.  I was able to watch one, but the second says - "error while loading this content, try later" - well I tried later numerous times and continue to get the same message.  What is my next step??

    No, the film will be available for 30 days, but once you start watching it the clock will start running and it will expire after 24/48hrs (depending on location).
    You said you rented on Apple TV, which has no accessible storage. When you choose to watch it starts to cache to the small flash drive, which is then flushed when you access another movie (or any other content). Everything is streamed so it will need to load each time. If you want to store any content you need to do so via computer.
    Network issues can also contribute to seeing such an error. If on wifi, try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network). You can also see the status of your network by getting a report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar), to look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks.
    Other services use adaptive streaming so they won't be much of an issue.

  • I can't watch movies, it is asking for latest adobe flash. After updating adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

    I can't watch movies , asking for adobe flash. After installing the latest adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

    The other day, there was someone here who figured after quite a while that he had plug-ins disabled in Safari. He could have installed Flash a hundred times but never get it to work.
    Of course, you do have plug-ins enabled. Yes? Quick double-check? Safari -> Preferences -> Security tab -> checkmark at "Enable plug-ins"...

    If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.
