Cannot watch movie trailers

I have only just gone wireless and now my trusted ATV has access to the internet! All good stuff, YouTube works fine, syncing all works fine but when I click on Movie Trailers I get a message saying 'Downloading trailers' with a spinning wheel which I left overnight. In the morning it was still doing it so I cancelled as I guessed it wasn't working seeing as YouTube content is almost instant ! Any ideas ? Do I need to activate anything in iTunes? Do I need to leave it longer? I have my ATV hooked up to a standard def LCD TV if that helps !

Sounds like a server problem. Hopefully it will pass.
Under Settings (firmware 1.1) you can choose your local iTunes store location so you could set it to somewhere else to see if it's a local issue or not.
If you can see YouTube content then you're connected to the internet.
Only other thing could be some odd port blocking if YouTube and iTunes trailers work on different ports on AppleTV.

    Are you sure you bought and not rented them?  Renting lets you to access the video for up to 48 hours.

  • I just installed quicktime 7.7.2 to watch movie trailers, works but no sound

    I just installed quicktime 7.7.2 to watch movie trailers on http://trailers.apple.com/trailers.  It plays the trailers OK but there's no sound.  Any ideas?  I have Windows XP. 
    Quicktime installation also changed the association on an m4v movie that played perfectly with the VLC movie player, but plays real jerky with the QT player and also there's no sound.  Any ideas?
    Thnx

    I just installed OuickTime 7 Pro in my Mac Pro Ver 10.6.8. The video I am trying to view is codec h264 Compression dvcpro 50 hd. I have audio but no video. It says I need other software with QuickTime for it to work. Dose anyone know what I need?
    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

  • HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

    Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

    Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
    I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
    It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

  • Cannot watch movies from amazon downloaded new flash

    i have down loaded and uninstalled three times i still cannot get it to work or watch movies on amazon i have a 64 bit windows 7 laptop why is it doing this please help

    Hello,
    Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues. 
    using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
    Tried the DRM fix listed above,
    Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
    Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
    Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    Also having problems on Chrome.
    Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
    When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.'  The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
    AIV works just fine on my iPad.
    For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
    This needs to get fixed asap!
    Thanks

  • Why can i not watch movie trailers in QT anymore?

    Ever since I upgraded to SL and I go to Yahoo movies and want to watch a movie trailer Real Player opens up and plays. It was always in QT before. I have tried downloading the file too but it will not import. Any suggestions?

    To check Safari's plugins go to Safari/Help/Installed Plugins
    If Quicktime mappings are incorrect, open up System Preferences/Quicktime/Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the *Video-Quicktime Movie* box. This box will enable you to play movie trailers within your browser.
    Click the OK button.
    Make sure you have installed the latest versions of Flip4Mac, VLC Media Player, Perian and Adobe Flash Player.

  • So... I cannot watch movie on DVD on my HDTV?

    With a cable from my MacBook to my HDTV, I can watch a movie on DVD or anything that I  to pull up the MacBook.  Now, unless I am wrong, I cannot use the setup Apple TV instead of the cable?   Reading over what Apple says about the Apple TV, I thought it would be possible to do this, but now, with the Apple TV setup, it looks like I am limited to what Apple wants me to see - YouTube, NetFlix, movies rented from iTunes and not too much more. Especially not TV shows that are on the Internet pages of TV stationss or DVDs.   That is a so big a surprise and disappointment because the cable is a a nuisance and did not carry the audio, which I had to use another cable or to speakers or use the MacBooks speakers. Did I read the product information completely wrong or what?
    If I am all wrong with this, please tell me how to do this. Thanks.

    Yes and no.
    AppleTV is limited in the formats it can play natively but very recent Macs (post 2011) running Montain Lion have the ability to Airplay the screen to the AppleTV - that still doesn't work for Apple's DVD player though as it won't mirror protected content.
    You could try Airparrot (which has mixed reviews) to do Airplay in software.
    VLC might allow Airplay of a DVD.
    If you have non-protected video you could convert it to h264 format and add to iTunes, but we cannot discuss circumventing commerical DVD protection.

  • I was watching movie trailers in itunes and now I can hear it but the screen is black

    I was watching trailers while waiting for a movie to download in iTunes and now the trailers have sound but I see no images.
    Help!

    I think the key word here is "was". You can try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If this does not work, then it is possible that the hardware has failed. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple or the Authorized Apple Service Provider.

  • Cannot watch movies

    I see only a black screen on iPad2 when I open Video ap.  Cannot "connect to YouTube" either.  Have done soft and hard resets, re-sync'd, deleted movies and uploaded only one movie that I have watched before.  Nothing has worked?  Please advise. 

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
