1. In order to view any of that media, does it have to be physically copied to the ATV hardrive via sync (therefore creating two copies of each media file, one on my IMac and one on ATV)?
no, it can be streamed from the mac to the appletv
2. Can I watch or listen to any of that media without copying the files to the ATV (ie: can I stream to ATV from ITunes on my IMac - like Airtunes?)
yes, see above
3. If I buy a movie on ATV, I assume it downloads to the HD in ATV. Then I assume if I sync ITunes it will create a second copy of that movie file on my IMac?
no, it will move the purchased item to itunes. if you want it back on the appletv you would need to sync it to it yourself.
4. If I've watched that movie, and I don't want it taking up HD space on the ATV....how do I delete it from ATV?
you remove any content from the appletv by using itunes and adjusting your sync options.
5. Finally, if I buy a movie in Itunes on my IMac and want to watch it via ATV and I have to synch it over there..... this means that before I can watch that movie I have to first wait for it to download into Itunes and then wait for it to sync a copy to ATV?
yes that is correct.

    how do i transfer movies from ATV 3rd gen to iMac? help!

    You don't - AppleTV 3 store nothing.
    Instead (assuming th efeature is available in your country), you download from the internet in iTunes.
    Either on the iTunes store home page or in the Movies category you should find Purchased Quicklinks on the right side of the screen - redownload movies there.  Set download quality in iTunes Preferences.

  • Rented Movies from ATV to MacBook iTunes

    How do I transfer rented movies from my ATV to my computer?

    Pretty sure this can't be done. I think you can only sync purchased content from Apple TV back to a computer. When you rent a movie, Apple TV tells you that the movie can only be viewed on Apple TV.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

  • How can I transfer movies from my pc to iPad

    Problem to transfer movie from pc to iPad

    Have you spoken to Apple support - clicking on the 'Set up 3 questions' link under Security in your account page should allow all three to be set.  Use iTunes Account page link on your PC, then sync by hardwire when finished.  If you have icloud, backup to icloud afterwards.  Switch back to iTunes on your ipad (connected wirelessly or by carrier) and try a purchase you want.  If still having problems it sounds like a server issue at Apple's end.

  • Want to transfer data from 2 source systems

    hi everybody ,
    i want to transfer data from 2 source systems into a info cube, how can we do that and  i dont want to transfer duplicate data from two source systems. like i have 1,2,3,4 records in one source system and 1,5,6,7 records in the other system.i want to transfer 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 in to the cube. can u help me to solve this problem?

    Hi
    The solution given by Paolo will not work 100% correct.
    Even if you create ODS and with record number as key of  ODS the data in ODS will be record no 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
    But data of record 1 will be overwritten (first it will hold data from 1st source system and then from 2nd source system) since record number is key. Also you can not differentiate the values of data that means which data is coming from which system.
    For this you need to use compouding of infoobjects. In this expample, record number should be compounded with Source system ID infoobject-0soursystem. Then your ODS will contain source system ID along with record number as keys and record 1 will not be overwritten.
    Have a look at SDN threads on compounding-
