Cannot stream movies from itunes to apple tv 1st generation

Hi,
I have an apple tv 1st generation and whenever I'm renting movies I would like to play them via streaming on my TV. Unfortunately I have to wait until it's fully downloaded and then I have to transfer them to the Apple tv.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to be able to stream rented movies from Itunes to the apple TV without having to wait until it's fully downloaded?
I'm using a macbook pro with mac OS X 10.6.8.
Any help would be so much appreciated.
Thank you.

If you rent via your Mac then you have to wait until it's full loaded. If you would like to stream then rent directly on the Apple TV

  • Why does it take so long to stream movies from itunes with Apple TV?

    Every time I try to rent a movie from iTunes, it says it will take minimum 40 minutes to load.  Just now it said 5 hours and 30 minutes!!
    What is the deal?

    This is likely due to your network.
    Check www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD
    Check for interference (check www.istumbler.net for mac or netstumbler for windows)
    Make sure you're using your IsPs DNS

  • Can't move rented movie from itunes to Apple TV (1st gen)

    I have rented a movie through iTunes but cannot transfer this to my Apple TV (1st gen). I have tried dragging and dropping the movie into the Apple TV device section on iTunes but it won't allow me to do this. I have tried syncing and this has made no difference. No rental section appears on the Apple TV either. Can anyone suggest what else I should try? I have an Australian iTunes account.

    Steve: I know this does not solve your current problem, as it is a strange one, but wht not report the problem download to the itunes store, get a credit then rent it again on your ATV. It might be a slower dl but at least you do not have to wait for a sync as the movie will be erased after you watch it anyway.
    Good luck

  • I need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb hd.

    i need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb apple tv can it be done you see i have a 40gb apple tv and it's full and i still have lots more video (movies) in my itunes can i stream movies from itunes to apple tv with my memory full in apple tv??????????

    Select the iTunes library on your computer from the Sources menu in Apple TV and then you can stream. If streaming is not smooth and your router has a multicast setting, try increasing the multicast bit rate. To return to the synced content on your Apple TV, select the Apple TV logo at the top of the Sources menu.

  • HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

    cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

    Yes that's perfectly possible.
    The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
    The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.

  • Streaming movies from iTunes is taking up space on my iPad.

    Hello.  I have couple iPad Air's and a iPad mini.  The issue I am having is happeing with all 3 devices.  We like to stream movies from iTunes.  What I have noticed is everytime I stream a movie it takes up anwhere between 2-5 GB splace under "other".  They are all 32GB iPad's.  I plugged in the iPad to the computer yesterday and it showed 19.2 GB under "other".  I have tryied everything.  Restore, reset, setting it up as new and can't get this issue to go away. This was happening before 7.1 came out.  I called Apple and they don't have a fix for it.  This is very frustrating, as after watching few movies I start getting a message that my memory is full.  My wife has used most of her space with apps and music, she has around 3 GB available.  After she watches 1 movie she gets a message that memory is full and can't stream any longer.  So looks like the temp files are not getting deleted.  Only way to get the space back is to restore the ipad and start over until it gets full again. 

    I wish that I had an answer for you, but I can't think of anything else to try. What I find so odd is that it happens to all 3 of your devices. That doesn't make sense at all unless it has something to do with how iTunes handles what is happening on the iPad when you sync your devices.
    I update my iPhone 5S and my iPad 3 last night and then synced both devices with iTunes. When I plugged them into my MBP - they both showed an overcapacity it's due to "other". "Other" includes app data caches and when it grows out of proportion like that it means that something got corrupted. I synced the devices anyway, and the "other" dropped dramatically back to where it was on each device before I updated and where it should be.
    What I'm trying to say is something may be getting corrupted when you sync with iTunes...what it is I have no clue.

  • Streaming Movies from iTunes

    Hi, is it possible to stream movies from iTunes straight to my TV without having to unplug my mac and connect it via wires?
    Can it be streamed over a wireless network perhaps?
    many thanks ;o)

    Hey thanks for the advice on apple TV, checked it out today but I don't think that it the way forward for me. Its just to costly, 40GB TV is £170 in the UK with no option of using an external USB hard drive for extra storage. I feel apple is ripping me off!!
    I'll look at other options at the moment.
    Many thanks for pointing in this direction though.

    Can you buy music from itunes in apple tv 3rd generation?

    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.

  • Streaming HD movies from Itunes to Apple TV 2

    Hello all,
    I am having an issue streaming HD (m4v) movies from iTunes to my Apple TV 2. First off, I am able to stream Netflix flawlessly using my Apple TV. The HD Movies from ITunes glitches\lags every 20-25 seconds. Here is my setup.
    Router: Apple Airport Extreme, using 5ghz band
    Laptop: Macbook Pro
    Any suggestions? I have tried turning off Dolby Digital in the Apple TV Settings, but did not help.
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    I was having the same error. I switched Audio Language to default and Dolby Digital to 'on' and I finally can see the video, but with no sound...
    I tried MKVTools and Handbrake, AC3 passthru for audio on both, iTunes plays nice, but Apple TV doesn't. Any other solution?

  • Apple TV won't stream movies from itunes since installing latest update

    I recently updated my Apple TV and have since been unable to stream movies from my iTunes library. Itunes and all other software is up to date. I even downloaded Mountain Lion OS just in case. Netflix and movie trailers work fine. Streaming from my computer seems to be the only problem.

    I have since purchased a new apple tv which had worked fine until the update was offered. I downloaded the update and the problem happens again on a brand new machine.
    Since then I have spent 2 hrs on the phone with apple without results. Followed by an hour on the phone with Linksys checking network issues. I was just wondering if this is a problem for anyone else? It's not a single device so it has to be a problem with the update intalled.
    Linksys believes the update corrupted the apple tv's firmware. Has anyone else been experiencing problems?

  • Streaming movies from iPad to apple tv

    Hi
    I have just updated my iPad software to the new iso.
    I am trying to stream movies from my iPad to the new apple tv but I can only hear the sound and I don't get the actual vedio.
    The main reason why I got the apple tv was that I would be able to stream vedio to the tv from my iPad.
    Please let me know what I need to do.
    Thanks
    Itai

    I am with you on that. I can stream music from the iPad straight to the home cinema system through apple tv. I can also use the iPad as a remote to stream movies and pics from the Mac.
    But can't seem to throw movies or photos directly from the iPad to the screen via apple tv.
    Another annoyance is that as I type this from the iPad the cursor clicks can be heard through my home ent system as I am streaming music from my iPad simultaneously.
    Any help!
