Can you buy movie from Apple TV 2, with home sharing?

I like the new Apple TV 2, but wish I could buy, and have it store on my Mac from the Apple TV interface.
Last night I had to go to my IMAC to buy Iron Man, then wait for the full HD to download to get it to stream to the Apple TV. (30 minutes...)
I use to be able to select buy and start watching it in 5 minutes.
Any ideas?

I completely agree with you. You should be able to buy it and watch it instantly on ATV and then when you sit down at your Computer it would be in your purchased Que to download.
I really hate the 30 day lag on new movies rentals. When new movies come out now i generally just download them for free from the Usenet servers. I'd be willing to rent them if they were available but not really interested in buying most movies.

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if/when Apple might open an iTunes store in Uruguay until Apple announce something - presumably not enough record companies/rights-holders have yet granted Apple licenses for their music for Uruguay.

    You can't buy anything. Points are available in all countries, but again you cannot buy anything.

  • 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
    Philip

    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't buy it from apple or my university computer store... WHERE, then?

    I'm not shelling out money for FCPX, it's a total disaster. Too much like imovie and there's no longer any "instant flexibility" when it comes to trimming, etc. Terrible, terrible move on apple's part to discontinue the previous version!

  • Can you separate movies from iPhotos?

    If I delete the new Movie Smart Album, do I delete all the movies in my library?
    If you delete a smart album by ctrl-click and selecting "Delete album", the album will be deleted, but the videos will remain in your library. You should see this panel:
    Deleting the album will not remove the videos from the events and any other albums where they are used.
    The Movies seem to be in the new smart Album I've just created but not in the library...
    Really? What do you see, when you select one of them in the smart album, ctrl-click it, and use the command "Show in Event"?
    Do you want to delete the videos permanently? Then select the videos in the album and use ⇧⌘⌫ to delete them.

  • Can I import songs from two different Macs using home sharing?

    I have two MacBooks and a IMAC G5.
    I set up home sharing but can't seem to import songs from PC one to another.
    I was able to do it but now 2 of my PCs are using Yosemite.
    I want to move my music from, Macbook, to iPAD, to iPhone to iPOD.
    Any help with this will be appreciated
    Thanks

    You can't use home sharing to put music on your mobile devices from your iTunes library, you will need to sync them.

  • Can I share music from iPad and PC via home sharing?

    There are two accounts, one on each, because I fouled up when I bought the iPad; different email etc. and in the confusion I ended up with two accounts. I cannot 'merge' accounts but is there a way via home sharing to transfer? (Now just purchasing from one account!) 
    Thanks.

  • Can you create playlists from Apple TV?

    Does apple TV allow you to create a playlist? I'm thinking similar function to how on the go works on the ipod.

    Unless there's a way that I can't find in the manual or tech notes (I do not yet have my Apple TV), then that's correct, you can't. If I am right, then perhaps we'll see such things in a future version; remember that this is just the first release, and I'm fairly confident that future versions (hopefully as free software upgrades) will offer new features.
