Can't watch a TV show for 5 hours - am I doing something wrong?
I bought Apple TV with the intention of using it to watch my purchased TV programs on the big screen rather than my 13" Macbook Pro.
I've connected it to my TV & wifi and enable home sharing in my iTunes.
I can see my purchased TV shows on the big screen but when I try to watch an episode it says it will be ready for me to watch in 5 hours.
Is this normal?
Apple TV is an entirely streaming device, as a result it must have a reliable network connection to stream content.
Either connect the ATV via Ethernet or troubleshoot and fix the Wi-Fi network issues.

Slide show dislplay order, am I doing something wrong?
I want my entire Library to run as a slide show so I selected it and then clicked the slide show button. The slide show appears in the source pane but the images in the opposite order that I want them to play, and the View>Sort Photos menu is all grayed out.
I thought maybe I might have to create a new album in order set the display order of the slide show, so I did that and dragged all 6000 or so images to the new album. I then selected the album and clicked the Slide Show button, but alas, I got the same result.
It appears that iPhoto won't display images in slide show in anything but Ascending order, is that correct? Am I missing something?
Thanks.Hi Old Toad,
In anything other than a slide show (main library, albums and smart albums), I can change the display direction. The option to change display order from ascending to descending, however, is grayed out in the slide show so I can't change it. Plus, even if the album is sorted by descending order, iPhoto, when it creates a slide show from the album, automatically sorts it in ascending order. I'm thinking it's a bug.

Can I watch my rented movie for just 24 hours? What about the 30 days? The countdown on my library returned in days countdown rather than hours. Can anyone clarify me about this?
Read the article you linked
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library." -

HT1491 How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?
How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?
There are two kinds of content, streaming and downloaded. If your show is a streaming show you have to be on the internet to view it. (akin to you not being able to watch youtube videos without being on the net)
Downloaded files can be watched anytime (within the constraints of the DRM of course) -
How can i watch a netflix show on an airplane, how can i watch a netflix show on an airplane
How can i watch a netflix show on an airplane. Can't stream
If the airline doesn't offer WiFi (or doesn't allow streaming over the WiFi they offer), then you can't. You'll need to rent or purchase a movie from another source so that you can download it onto your device ahead of time.
Best of luck. -
Been trying to download Lion from the App Store. It saks for login, I login in and it starts install. After about 13 hours it finishes download then asks for login again. After login, it starts installing again. It never shows installed. This is the third time I am doing this. Am I doing something wrong?
Sorry, my bad, we have the iMac G5 10.6.8. I just got home and the message said an error occurred and was unable to download. Am I doing something wrong or is there something I need to do.

I have the same problem, and the solutions in Error changing modules | Lightroom do not work. Even uninstalling and reinstalling a new copy did not solve the problem. As anyone got an idea what other lingering files might be causing the problem?

Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
