Download from Apple Store Question re play back

Second Generation Apple TV. all up to date software. 
Rented movie from Apple TV  then selected "download and watch later" option.  Later came and we wanted to watch the movie and to our disappointment, when we selected play, THEN the download started, only Then, not earlier.  We live in a remote area with a slowish internet connection compared to metropolitan areas, so we plan ahead to have movies our grandchildren want to watch when they visit.  Had to abandon the entire idea since we didn't have 2 hours to wait for the movie to download. 
How do we actually get the Apple TV from the Apple Store to "Download and Watch later"?

If you turn the Apple TV off or use it to do something else, anything downoaded will be lost.
If you have a slow internet connection, the best plan is to rent from a computer where the download won't be lost and can be streamed to the Apple TV at any time once fully downloaded.

  • Free apps page getting redirected to payment page while trying to download from Apple Store

    Hi,
    I had bought an iPhone 5s three weeks back and then downloaded about 15 free applications from Apple Store only. But, now when I am trying to download, the downloading page is getting rediected to the payment page, even for the free apps .
    Can someone help on this? Is there any limit on how many free apps one can download from Apple Store?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • IOS 8.0.2 Problems downloading from Apple Store

    We upgraded IOS 8.0.2 then purchased an iBook.  Downloading is stalled for hours.   Tried an upgrade in the App Store and same problem.  Downloading is stalled.  Is anyone experiencing similar problem with downloads from Apple Store?

    Hi there sheuston,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    You can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    To try and stop it happening again you can use Settings > General > Restrictions on the device to prevent in-app purchases being made, and you might (depending upon its iOS version) also have a 'Require Password' option on the Restrictions screen that you can set to 'Immediately' so that your account's password has to be entered for each download from the store.

  • I am having problems downloading from apple store.

    I have problems downloading Adobe Revel (software) from Apple Store.
    This software download up to 90% and stop, and I can´t continue download and get this kind of error "Adobe Revel failed to download. Try again from the shopping page" (this is a translation from Spanish Version of Apple Store.
    I go to Shopping area of Apple Store and I can´t continue downloading.
    I have a iMac (i5).

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit the App Store application if it’s running.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and continue.
    Step 3
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    test -d $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.appstore && rm -r $_
    Drag or copy and paste the selected line — do not type it — into the Terminal window. You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ("$"). Quit Terminal.
    Test. If the issue is still not resolved, post again.

  • Movie Downloads from iTunes Store won't play on my Mac or iPhone

    Have just downloaded my Star Trek digital copy from the iTunes store; it is sitting on my Mac's hard drive as a .m4v file of nearly 2Gb; seems OK. However, if I click on 'play' in iTunes it shows a progress bar playing in iTunes & in the separate movie window I get a blank screen & no sound. I then sync'ed it with my iPhone & when I go into the iPod on the iPhone & play the movie I get the error "This movie could not be played". I have some podcasts on the Mac & iPhone & they work OK on both platforms.
    Now I understood that the .m4v format was alright to play on both my Mac & on the iPhone but it's not working for me...anyone encountered this before / got any ideas pls?
    Appreciate any help thx...Brooke.

    Same issue. I've been buying TV shows and movies on iTunes for a long time and copying them to my iPhone to watch on my TV. A few days ago, I tried to move a rented movie to my iPhone the same way I always did, click the "move" button next to the movie under the movies tab for the iPhone in iTunes when iPhone was connected and then click "apply". It would do a quick sync without copying anything.
    I thought I had a bum file, so I e-mailed Apple support and they reset the purchase so that I could redownload, which I'm doing now.
    But my recently downloaded episodes of Lost will also not copy to my iPhone. AND they will not even play on my iMac. When I try to play them, it shows only a grey screen with a progress bar. TV shows and movies purchased and downloaded weeks or months ago still play fine.
    No changes have been made to my system. After the rented movie didn't play and copy, I did a update check and downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone firmware. That didn't fix it. I have the newest versions of the Quicktime and iTunes. The computer is authorized for these purchases. The iPhone is authorized.
    I've looked at similar threads and have not found a solution. I'm stumped. If anyone has a solution let me know.

  • How I can delete a game I download from apple store

    Hello nadiz6,
    It sounds like you are wanting to delete an app that you downloaded from the Mac App Store. This is how you do it from the article named:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the app you deleted again (it depends on where you live).
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
    Click the app you want to delete.
    Press the Delete on your keyboard.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,

  • Volume too low on download from itunes store how to fix

    My download from itunes store won't play on my ipad at a decent volume.  How do I fix it? 
    Actually, I suspect the download itself is too low and fuzzy.  How do I reload?

    If you are having a problem with a song you downloaded from iTunes, you can report it to an iTunes worker and they will redownload the song for you for free.  Go to the song you bought and find where it says "report a problem".  Click on that, and you can explain your problem to an iTunes worker.

    I downloaded a game from apple store and while I was playing the mac blocked... what can I do?
    Nothing that I push doesn;t make anything!

    By blocked, do you mean froze, or locked up?
    Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns off. Turn it back on.

  • TS1702 i purchased an app from apple store, an error occurred whilst downloading. I tried to reinstall it on my comp. but it reverts me back to PURCHASES & commands me to tap on INSTALL, but nothing happens. How can I solve the problem please???

    I PURCHASED AN APPLICATION FROM APPLE STORE. AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILST DOWNLOADING IT. IT WANTS ME TO REVERT BACK TO PURCHASES IN ITUNES, AS SOON AS I TAP ON "INSTALL" IT SHOWS THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN. HOW DO I SOLVE IT PLEASE? IT SHOWS ON MY STATEMENT THAT I PURCHASED THE APPLICATION?

    Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
    ]Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    It may be that iTunes is not signed into the account that purchased the app or that the computer is not authorized for that account.

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

    Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
    It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
    In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
    It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.
