Can't stream a rental on Apple TV 2 (black box)

Hi folks!!
I was wondering if anyone can help me out.  We rented a movie on our Mac, using my hubsand's apple id, but we can't stream it on the Apple TV.  We never had this problem before.  We got to rentals on Apple TV & the spinning icon keeps on spinning.  I can stream the movies we have from our library, but some reason we can't stream this rental. 
We decided to test it and see if we can see it on the Mac and we were able to.  Now, we have 23 hours left of a movie that we only saw 1 second of it on the Mac.
HELP!!!!

Never mind.
I just unplug the cords to Apple TV & reconnected them. BAM!! It worked!!

    If that's the case it's likely the content provider/Amazon is blocking the video component of Airplay.

    You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.

    Learn how to update the software on your Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation). It's always a good idea to have the latest software on your Apple TV.
    Update your software
    Select Settings > General > Update Software. Apple TV checks for an available update; if one is available, a download message should appear.
    Click Download and Install to start the download process.
    Do not disconnect your Apple TV during the update process. The Apple TV status light may flash slowly during the update and restart process. This is expected behavior.

  • Why can't I open pdf file?  Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't

    Why can't I open pdf file?  Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

    I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
    I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
    The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
    Please.. someone... help!!!

  • Can I stream music from Apple TV to airport express?

    Using Apple TV can I stream music for say apple radio to my apple airport express which is in another room and connected to a set of speakers?

    Yes.  It is in Settings, but I cannot tell you where at this moment.  Just click around in Settings, and you will see an Airplay drop down like on your Mac.

  • Can you stream movies from time machine to apple tv

    Can you stream purchased movies from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV?
    I have both an Apple TV and an Apple Time Machine. Both great devices BUT my internet connection is not great and apparently, the telephone exchange needs to be upgraded in order for it to improve and right now, the phone company has no plans to upgrade the exchange . So, I've bought movies from Apple TV and have downloaded them (using Apple TV) and watched them. They seem to stay on Apple TV for a few days before they need to be downloaded again if I (actually my kids) want to watch the movie again. Problem is, it takes about 15 hours to download a regular movie due to the poor internet connection. My kids don't have that much patience. I know I can download a movie onto my Mac and stream it from there to Apple TV but that means I have to have the Mac available. Since I work at an office and take my MacBook to use at work, it isn't always there for the kids to get their daily Frozen hit. See the issue I face? Apple TV and Apple Tme Machine are great devices. Can they be used in conjunction with one another?
    So, what I was wondering, is it possible to stream from Apple Time Machine to Apple TV, i.e. use Time Machine to store your movies for Apple TV?
    Thanks

    No.
    Time Machine is an application.
    Time Capsule is hardware (what you have).
    As suggested, you download them to iTunes and they will work fine on the AppleTV.

    Yes but you need a computer running iTunes.

  • Can you stream Netflix from an iPad to Apple TV?

    Hi,
    We have a relatively small TV set and sit relatively far away from it. Therefore making Netflix choices with Apple TV and remote is difficult, since the print is too small. It would be way easier to make Netflix choices with the iPad on my lap, and have the iPad stream the movie to ATV.
    Airplay works well with Apple apps like iTunes & iPhoto, but does it work with non Apple apps? If so, how does one get it to work?
    Thanks,
    Klaus
