Cant load movies to apple tv

I have a problem with my apple tv.. after i watch a movie, listen to a song etc from my itunes library, the thing i am trying to open wont open!! it just stayes with the loading screen forever. I then restart my apple tv and it works again for 1 movie, song etc.. and then i have to restart it again to make it work. i am currently watching a tv show with 20 min. episodes and after each episode i have to restart my apple tv to continue watching, which is pretty anoying!! i have never had a problem like this before and i dont know what to do! it just suddenly started.
Is there anyone who knows the cause of the problem?? its 3rd gen apple tv and i am using itunes on windows 7.

Hello there gagone,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
There are a few things that could be causing the issue you are seeing here. If you restart the device by unplugging the power from the back for 30 seconds, then I would try restarting with the device with the onscreen menu outlined in this article:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
You may also need to troubleshoot your network connection with this article Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
Verify that you are selecting the correct network if you are in a location with multiple Wi-Fi networks.
Check the IP address that Apple TV is using. If it starts with 169.x.x.x, the router may not be configured properly.
If the router is using DHCP addressing, verify that the router is not limiting the number of devices that can connect through Wi-Fi.
If the router is using manual IP addressing, you will need to configure Apple TV with a manual IP address. You can do this by selecting your network on the Apple TV and choosing Configure IP.
Disconnect and rejoin your Wi-Fi network by selecting your network on the Apple TV and then choosing Forget Network. Rejoin your Wi-Fi network after it disconnects.
Cheers,
Sterling

How do I load movies onto apple tv 3rd gen?

HT204370 cant view movie on Apple TV 1st gen that i purchased on 2nd gen apple tv

I purchased a movie on my second Gen Apple TV and when I try to watch it on my 1st Gen Apple TV I get a message that my apple tv is not authorized to play this content!!! Not good...!!!

This should happen automatically.
ctrl-click on the Apple TV in the iTunes list, you should get an option to transfer purchases, if not or choosing it doesn't help you may need to re-pair the Apple TV with your library, settings > computers > iTunes library and disconnect, this will erase synced content but not purchased content that hasn't transferred, to reconnect settings > computers > connect to iTunes (not shared library).

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

HT4352 My apple tv will no longer load movies.

My apple tv will no longer load movies that I have in iTunes. It shows them in the menu, but when I click on them I just get the spinning wheel. Music works fine. Every thing worked fine the day before.

Power cycle the ATV.
Close and relaunch iTunes on the computer or simply reboot the computer.

HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update? My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching. Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library. Music works, but no movies. I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy. Is there a way to roll back an update?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Down loaded movie and that took about an hour.This a rental.I hit button to play and now stuck on loading and no movement on the progress bar ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

HT1551 When i tried to purchase a movie, My Apple TV said it would take 11 hours to load. Any ideas about what to do or what is going on with that?

It always has a very high number at the beginning, but it never takes that long....
However, it can take several hours....I've found this to be true on any device or computer I've downloaded movies or tv shows on - Mac, PC, iPad, Kindle Fire....you name it.
However, even if it does take a long time, that does not prevent you from starting to watch it as soon as it has done a little downloading. Here is the Apple link for typical download times:
