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)

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.

Contact iTunes Customer Support, but honestly, there are no returns for iTunes purchases.

Can't download a purchased movie from the cloud or watch trailers in iTunes movies

Can't download a purchased movie from the cloud or watch trailers in iTunes movies

Hello Addymay2,
I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores. After this, close all open apps and restart your device. Once your iPad is powered back up, sign back into your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

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

How can i watch a rented movie in my apple tv?

I rented a movie in iTunes and want to watch it in my apple TV. I try to "drag" the movie to the apple TV under Devices, and can't seem to do it. When I go to my shared movies in apple TV the rental is not there. Does anyone know what I need to do?

I assume you are using the Apple TV 1 (silver/grey).
The rental needs to be transferred to the Apple TV. It sounds as though you have paired a secondary (streaming only) library only and you need a primary library to transfer content.

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
bruno20

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

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'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.

HT1657 Can I watch a rented movie on the road(without wifi)?

I was interested in watching killing them softly( a movie) on the way to vacation with my family. Since I already downloaded it because I rented it, can I start watching it for the first time without wifi on the road.

As long as the film has been fully downloaded to the iPad's Videos app then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

Why can't I play purchased movies on my Apple TV? And why does iTunes match not work on my Apple TV?

I have an Apple TV (early 2012) and bought some movies in the iTunes store. Now, Apple TV doesn't let me watch my purchased content. I very well can listen to music I have bought in the iTunes store and watch the purchased movies on my iphone 6 (running the latest iOS 8) and on my MacBook Air (running the latest version of Yosemite). I can also rent movies on Apple TV and watch them - no problem at all.
The other problem I have is that I activated iTunes Match on my Apple TV. But it doesn't work either. On my Mac and on my iphone - there's no problem. On Apple TV instead there is always appearing the message, that it will take a couple of minutes to setup iTunes Match on Apple TV. Well... that is too nice to be true! It takes hours and even after that it doesn't work at all.
I checked the forums and tried different things:
1. Updating my Apple TV's software to the latest release
2. Restoring all settings of my Apple TV and taking it offline (meaning: logging out of iTunes on Apple TV and taking it off power)
3. Restarting my modem and router after half a minute break and taking it off power.
4. Setting up Apple TV again and reconnecting it with iTunes and my WLAN-router.
5. I also wanted to Airplay the screen of my MAC or iphone to Apple TV -> doesn't work (even though I can watch the movies on this two devices without any problems). Other content can be airplayed to Apple TV without any problems as well.
-> Nothing seems to work!
When I tried to play the moves the following to messages appear:
1. iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. (But Apple TV recognizes how much of the movie has been watched already. It indicates that it is connecting and authorizing... and after that the message above appears). OR
2. Apple TV says that the movie will be ready to be watched in two hours from now... or that you have to chose a lower resolution, if you want to watch it any sooner.
Does anyone face the same difficulties? And of course: Does anyone know any cure and salvation for my Apple TV? ;-)
Thanks so much for your assistance!

There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

Apple TV: Can I watch a rented movie on my Apple TV?

If I rent a movie from iTunes on my G5, would this movie be available to watch on either of my 2 TV, connected to the G5?
Thank you.

I just searched for 'rental transfer' in the Apple Support pages and got this :-

Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer, you can transfer it to your Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone. Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only be viewed on one device at a time. If you rent the movie on your Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on your Apple TV.

I can't watch 'Love Film' movies on my Apple TV

I have the Love Film app on my iPad but how do I watch the movies on my Apple TV?

Both Apple and Netflix claim to be aware of this issue and say they are 'working on it.' The 6.1.1 AppleTV update appeared to fix the issue but it returned a few days later. There are several other active discussion threads about this here. Nothing to be done but sit back and wait for it to be resolved. If your receiver has Dolby Pro Logic you can use those synthesized DD 5.1 modes until the fix comes.

Can't view a purchased movie on my apple tv

Hi, I have a Gen 2 Apple TV on whatever the latest OS version is. I have iTunes 11.0.4.
I own the Back to the Future Blu Ray which came with digital downloads of the films. The films are available for purchase on the iTunes store.
I have watched at least one of the films on my Apple TV however, they now never show available. They are in my iTunes libarary on my computer.
Any suggestions/ideas how to get them on the Purchased section of my Apple TV menu?
Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem. Hopefully Apple will sort this mess asap and refund for my rented movie.
