Cant watch movies on TV

Hello, Wonder if anyone can help me.
I used to have my iMac hooked up to my TV and could watch movies loading my dvd into a slot on my iMac.
Because I moved I had to disassemble the whole sistem.Now I'm putting together but I cant get the movie onto my TV.
I kinda remember that after hooking up the image cable from my iMac to my TV, I had to make a change on my computer.I dont remember what because was a long time ago but I slightly remember that I had to "shre" or spmething like that to allow the image to be seen on the TV.Do you know what I'm talking about?
Thanks a lot, any khelp will be appreciated.

Hi NeedhelpAapl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If movies or tv shows aren't playing in iTunes, I'd first make sure that the computer is authorized with the Apple ID used to make iTunes Store purchases. You may want to try de-authorizing and authorizing the computer again:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

You can also report an issue with purchases by following the steps in this article:

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

I cant watch movies on itunes on mac book pro

I can't watch movies on itunes on my Mac Book Pro. This message appears every time I attempt to select a program:An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Family Room Apple TV”. The network connection timed out.

If you are looking for apps for your MacBook Pro, you would be best served by looking in the App Store.

New Apple TV and cant watch movies

My wife bought me a new Apple TV for Christmas, I get it all plugged up, install the new itunes, have home sharing on. I go and load all my music and everything works like a charm. I then go and load some movies, go to the TV to watch one, click on the movie and a black screen comes up with a spinning wheel, I assume it is trying to load, until 5 mins later and nothing has changed. I go back to itunes make sure I loaded everything right, can watch the movie in itunes just fine, go back to the tv and the same black screen. Again, my music works just fine, but can't seem to get the movies to work at all. Any suggestions out there ?

So this is where it gets confusing for me. There are two types of component inputs on my tv, Ycbcr and ypbpr. Ycbcr is digital and ypbpr is analog. I used the Ycbcr with my old apple tv which gave me a better signal.
Is it possible that this cable:
http://www.amazon.com/Component-Video-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B001IUQB2W/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&qid=1286927406&sr=8-1
Would work with Ycbcr because the hdmi output on the apple tv 2 is digital only?
Then the next question is if hdmi digital over Ycbcr will work with hdcp. I am currently using a MacBook for my tv needs and do not have the new apple tv so I cannot test this out, but I have debated about the new apple tv, which would work nice with my iPad and airplay but my tv does not have hdmi input, even though it is 720p capable.
Apple probably didn't include the hdmi analog ability because it doesn't support hdcp. Ironic though since jobs stated years ago he is sick of drm tech.

In the Forte Project Explorer, click on the FileSystems tab. Right-click on the top-level node ("FileSystems") and select "Mount Jar" from the context menu. Navigate to j2ee.jar and select it. The jar should then show in the list of FileSystems.
The imports should then be found.

i get the message cant be played without windows seven or hdmc format essentially so i cant watch my movies it works perfectly fine i just cant afford windows seven or a new computer and mine runs great

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

I rent a movie on my tablet but I cant watch it on my apple tv

I rent a movie on my tablet but I cant watch it on my apple tv

Winston,
I don't believe your statement is correct. If you rent and download a movie to your computer and then plan to watch it on Apple TV, it doesn't work. When buying a movie, it is available on Apple TV but due to licensing reasons, this isn't the case for rentals.
Apple has cooperated by issuing a credit when I got snaked by this rule.

I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.

Cant watch purchased movies on iphone 5

I turn off wifi on iphone 5 and cant watch my purchased movies. How do I get movies back on my phone?

Re: Bought a video - got the "cloud download" icon.
eric says:
See below from: http://www.imore.com/movies-icloud-means
Underneath the "Purchased" option there is a "Downloads option" - This should get the d/l going if it hasn't started already. Note - for movies greater than 100mb in size a wifi connection is needed.
To re-download movies you've previously purchased from iTunes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Launch the iTunes app.
Tap the Purchased tab at the bottom (if you don't see it, tap the More tab and then check there).
Tap Movies from the selection list.
Tap on the iCloud icon beside any of your previously purchased movies to re-download.

You're original post is a tad confusing. If you have your ATV2 installed correctly, you don't need iTunes to watch movies on your TV.
If instead, you rented a movie on a computer, I'm not sure if you can even "see" it with ATV2 up and running. On ATV1, I think you have to "transfer" rented movies to the ATV1 before viewing.
Short version. If you want to watch a movie via ATV, it's best to rent the movie directly to the ATV device.
