How can I watch an Apple rented movie via Apple TV?

Continue to have a freezing problem with rented movies from Apple. It *****.

What I ended up doing was to back all the out of the choice sequence and the start the movie from the beginning again. We were able to watch one hour of the movie and then it froze again. After repeated efforts to get it to continue, we gave up and went to bed.
For the recoded, the Internet connection was fine. Netflix worked flawlessly. Only the Apple movie connection was dead.
How do I get my rental money back? I won't be able to finish watching within the required 24 hour period after having started it last night...
I thought this problem would go away after having the FIOS service installed. A 10+ Mgb speed stream should feed a movie in jig time. It's certainly helped with download times on software and Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo streaming. Not Apple, which seems not to know how to buffer.
Frustrated,
Mark

  • How can I watch the Super Bowl on my Apple TV

    How can I watch the Super Bowl on my Apple TV?

    Last year, I had the Super Bowl streaming online to my macbook pro, and via AirPlay I streamed it to my Apple TV. I plan to do the same thing this year, except using my new iMac. Just need to find a website that is going to be streaming it. Foxsportsgo.com has said they will be streaming and will not required verification of an eligable paid cable/satalite subscription to watch the Super Bowl only. So crossing fingers that it works cause I don't get regular antenna signal where I live, nor do I pay for cable/satalite services.

  • HT4352 how can i watch something i've downloaded on Apple tv on my laptop?

    how can i watch something i've downloaded on Apple tv on my laptop?

    If it's a purchase then you would need to download it to your laptop by visiting the iTunes store - purchased (under quick links).
    If it's a rental it will only be viewable on the Apple TV.

  • Rented movie not playing. I have 81Mbps Internet and can stream anything else HD. it's not WiFi either because signal strength is full and I can view anything other than rented movies on apple TV unit. it charges me for renting but doesn't play

    Rented "Gone Girl" on apple tv. It charges me, but will not play for more than 4 seconds at a time. I have exercised every step of apple's troubleshooting and nothing fixes the problem. I have a very strong, steady 81 Mbps Internet connection speed and can stream any other HD through the apple tv except for this rented movie. This is not the first time this has happened either. I just gave apple $6 for free and am currently watching the movie streaming through my cable provider's on demand channel with ease. Oh yeah, and when I seek apple support for the issue, apple wants $2 just to contact someone! Give me my money back please and I will never attempt to use your poor tv service again.

    The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

  • How can I watch my iPad apps on my Apple TV?

    I bought an exercise app I would like to watch on my Apple TV,  my iPad is an iPad air.

    Actually that is not entirely correct.  With Airplay Mirroring you can watch anything on your iPad on a Tv connected to an Apple TV.   (Apple Tv's have no screen, so you can't technically watch anything on them)
    You can mirror your iPads screen so anything on it will show up on your TV screen.
    iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring

    It depends on which model MBP you have and what generation Apple TV you have.

  • How can I watch the WWDC stream (2014) via QuickTime?

    Hey!
    I just wanted to ask which URL I'll have to use if I want to watch the keynote via QuickTime because I've read somewhere that I can't just
    use this url: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/june-2014/
    Kind regards,

    Certain links to the Coachella streaming video channels work with AirPlay to AppleTV. 
    Note: the video streams posted at http://www.coachella.com/ don't work via AirPlay.  You get the error message "An error occured loading this content.  Try again later."
    The fix:
    1) Starting from your computer, go to the Coachella website: http://www.coachella.com
    2) Click the "Watch on Youtube.com" button (located in the embedded video player window below the playing coachella video; it's the one to the left of the "Fullscreen" button).  This opens that same channel in YouTube.
    3) Click "Share" and...
    4) Click "Email"... (use YouTube to share a private email link to your email).
    5) Open the Coachella channel on your IPhone from the link in your email.
    6) Using Airplay, send this streaming Coachella Youtube Channel to your Apple TV from your IPhone.
    It works!
    If your AirPlay videos are interupted by your IPhone Auto-lock then you can fix that using:
       IPhone --> Settings --> General --> Auto-Lock --> "Never".
    Happy Coachella watching!

  • Can't watch a rented movie via Apple TV

    On Saturday I rented Anchorman 2 on Apple TV. I chose rent now and watch later. When I got home later in the evening I got an 'unauthorized' error, I backed out and back in, and got 30 or so minutes to watch this movie. The whole point of renting early was to not have to wait on a download.
    Then, it never played, just spun and spun. All other Web services are working fine. But now, since I've technically pressed 'play', I'm running out of time on the movie that I guess I  now have to watch tonight or lose my $6.
    So 1. I wonder why the movie won't play, and 2. how do I get a refund?
    Thanks for any help.

    Jason - Did you figure out how to get the refund? I rented Intersteller last night and it was stuck every few seconds busy loading.. my internet connection was pretty good 50MBPS and restarted AppleTV few times and no luck..

  • HT1657 How do I watch my iTunes rented movie on my iPad I downloaded it over night and now I can't find it

    I have downloaded a movie through iTunes onto my iPad over night and now I can't find it its not under iTunes purchases like my music is and I don't know where else to look for it and I don't know how to play it. Help?

    It should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store, so videos and tv shows should be in the Videos app and music and audiobooks in the Music app

  • How can i watch video on IPAD screen with Apple TV?

    i have apple tv and itune libary on the same network.
    i am wondering if i can watch movies stored in the libary on the ipad screen without turning on the tv or the computer. i have no problem watch the movies on TV thru apple tv. thanks.

    If your computer is turned off, the iTunes library is no longer available to the iPad or the Apple TV. You can connect the iPad to the computer and use iTunes to sync your library to the iPad; this copies your music and movies to the iPad, and you can play them whenever and wherever you wish.
    If your iPad does not have enough memory to store all your movies, use the "Selected movies only" option and check off the movies you want to copy; the rest will not be copied.

  • How can i watch an itunes purchased movie on my regular tv?

    I purchased a few movies on Itunes store. I would like to watch those on my regular TV. How would I do this?

    You can also connect your MacBook directly to your TV via an appropriate adapter. Note that if the movies are HD, your TV has to support HDCP.

  • HT202157 HOW CAN I WATCH MY MAC AIR IN MY APPLE TV

    Hi someone can help I want to watch my browser for my mac air to my tv.  Can I use my apple tv (3rd)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

  • How can I view a home made movie on Apple TV?

    I have used Photo to Movie to make movie and eventually got it into the Movies directory on itunes (after finding out how to move it from Home Videos).  All seems fine but when I try to access it through Apple TV it isn't there.  Any ideas?

    A few other things:
    Make sure you're looking, on Apple TV, in Computers/Movies and not the Movies App.
    In iTunes Preferences/Sharing: Select Share my library on my local network and Select: Share entire library
    You could also try restarting Apple TV

  • How can i watch my family's movies on my mac with family sharing?

    I have family sharing figured out pretty well when i'm using my phone and Apple TV, but when I try to view the shared content on my mac, there's no option to be found. I also can't find any solution for this and i've been searching for days…please help this headache go away! Why can't I see any of my family's shared items on my mac but I can with all other devices?

    Family sharing on your Mac requies yosemite, which isn't released yet.
