How do I know if movie is downloading on Apple TV

Hi, I have just purchased an Apple TV box, I purchased a movie on it this moring, went through all the checks, and passwords, but then it's not saying that its downloading, no progress bars etc, how do I know if it's actually downloading

just go to the purchases tab in the App Store. you should see it there if it's downloading. problem solved.
or, you can just look in launch pad and you should see it in your last page if it's downloading.

How do I know when movie is downloaded in full and ready to watch on Apple TV 3rd Gen?

I've got a brand new Apple TV Model: MD199C/A. Works great, but today I bought an ITunes movie and can't figure out if it is downloaded yet…
Apple TV immediately gave me the option to play the purchase, but I am reluctant because of past experience where I started a purchased movie and it stopped after playing for few minutes because it wasn't completely downloaded. It also started the clock ticking giving me only 48 hrs (I'm in Canada) to complete download and resume watching.
This ruined the night we had planned to watch a movie so I would love a solution where I can be sure the movie is completely downloaded and ready to watch.
Thanks.

If you want to see what your current connection is use speedtest.net
1080P content will need at least 8mbps for instant playback
Also make sure you have DNS set to auto (settings - general - network)
If you are on wifi try ethernet
Your other option would be to download to your computer and use home sharing to stream to Apple TV.

How do you know if the Maverick download is happening?

I am now trying to download Maverick .. & have been hearing a whirring sound. But it starts then stops?
- BUT I can't tell if it's done. I've kept the "page" on the screen, and the "download" button shows grey & it shows "Downloading"
- BUT I don't see any circles, to show anything is happening.
- NOR can I see anything on download in Finder. I've been checking the apple icon to see & it still shows Lion, 10.7.5 that I got in 2012. I have 4GB.
So, How do you know if the Maverick download is happening - & when it's done?
Last, do you have to restart the computer? I haven't been able to find a "how to" about this download.
Thanks

With App Store open, purchases or updates pane (can't recall which), CMD+R to reload the page, and you should see a progress bar. Should look like this:

How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC?

How do I disable automatic TV shows download from Apple TV to my iTunes library on my PC? This is really annoying as I am not able to sync my main music and photo library after my appleTV dowloads 84 GB of TV shows, which my PC is unable to accomodate anyway. Any advise?

I have a very similar problem in that purchases I make on the ATV are shuttled off to my computer even before I have a chance to watch them. Nothing remains on the AppleTV except (strangely) a show I bought from iTunes months before I ever got the ATV. In order to watch anything, I have to either leave my computer turned off between the time I order and watch it; or I have to have my computer on in order to stream the show back to the ATV. I like the idea of syncing with the computer as a backup solution, but the ATV should be designed to prefer to keep unwatched material on its hard drive until some threshold storage level has been reached, and then it should move off older shows to make room for newer ones.

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.

How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days? When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud. Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

How can I tell if movie fully downloaded on i-pad

How can I tell if movie rented from I-tunes fully downloaded on my Ipad? It only loads partially and then goes to sleep. Continues downloading when I wake it up. Forgot to finish and today I don't see any download pending. But I'm sure it didn't finish. How can I check without starting the movie - which only has 24 hours to view?

yes - it shows in the Video app - but it did yesterday too when it wasn't fully downloaded and the bar graph showing downloading progress was still moving.
