How do I play iTunes Extras?

I have upgraded my AppleTV with the new 6.2 upgrade and my laptop with iTunes 11.3 that are supposed to support iTunes Extras on the AppleTV. How do I access the content on the Apple TV?
I have tried with newer movies that I have in HD like The LEGO Movie and Frozen both of which are listed as having compatible iTunes extras which I can watch in iTunes 11.3. (The LEGO Movie was purchased directly from iTunes, Frozen was a Digital HD copy that came with the BluRay).

Well, I'll chime in with my own test….
Cleopatra (Burton/Taylor 1963) downloaded to iTunes some time ago in HD.
iTunes Extras files also downloaded with animated backdrop on menu screen.
AppleTV:
Movies>Purchased (cloud)    No iTunes Extras
Computers>iTunesLib>Movies     Main movie only
Pretty poor show really - no legacy format support, cloud only it seems and inferior quality (static vs animated)…..I'm actually very very surprised and cannot fathom why it should be so difficult to implement unless it's a new format with better options going forward…

    If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
    iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

  • How do i play itunes in windows media

    How can I play itunes in windows media?  I can burn in windows media, but in itunes it says it can't find the device.  Please advise.

    You don't "play iTunes" in Windows Media. Both of these apps are media players: one native to Mac OSX-- iTunes and the other native to MS-- XP; Vista; Win7. The popularity of iPods initially, then iPhones and now iPads caused Apple to make iTunes+QuickTime available for Windows users who wanted to own and use those mobile devices but retain their Windows machines. The issue that you are asking is whether or not you can play your audio files in WinMedia instead of in iTunes. Yes, you can. You will need to launch Windows Media player and import into the library the audio files which are "living" in iTunes. Actually they are in the "My Music" folder of your home on the C: drive.

  • How do I play itune songs consecutively?

    How do I play itune songs consecutively? They either play in a loop individually or stop at the end. Both on Windows and iphone.

    Make sure the Repeat control is off. Tap to cycle between Repeat Off, Repeat and Repeat Track.
    There is a similar control on the iPhone.
    In the Songs view Ctrl-Click on any empty checkbox to ensure all the tracks are checked. Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track-to-track playback.

  • How do i use iTunes extras with apple tv?

    I purchased a movie from the iTunes store that came with iTunes extras.  I'd like to view the extras from my apple tv (2nd generation), but haven't been able to figure out how or if I can.  Does anyone know how I can do this?

    Buy an AppleTV1 - that could handle them as well as itunes LP.
    Crazy, crazy, crazy.

  • How do I stream iTunes Extras to my AppleTV?

    After downloading an HD movie from iTunes, including iTunes Extras, how do I stream the 'Extras' to my TV?  Seems strange that this isn't an option.
    Thanks!

    Get an AirPort Express.  It has an audio out which you can connect to the line-in on your home theatre system.  All the other devices will talk to the AirPort Express and stream content to it via wi-fi.

  • HT3209 How do I view iTunes Extra content on my PC Win 8 computer?

    I downloaded an HD Movie to iTunes and I would like to watch the Extras.  The movie plays fine, but when I follow the instructions to look at the extras nothing is there.  Am I missing something? 

    Hello CraigES,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    About iTunes LP and iTunes Extras
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3823
    When you purchase a movie with iTunes Extras, the primary movie along with the iTunes Extras will download to your iTunes Movie folder. Mouseover the cover art and click the icon on the album to open the main menu to play the movie or view other features.
    iTunes LP or iTunes Extras will download to iTunes on your computer when you choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • How do I play iTunes LP content on Apple TV 2nd gen?

    I've just upgraded my Apple TV 2nd gen, and iTunes on my Mac.
    I can't figure it out. Is it possible to play iTunes LP content ("CDs extras") on Apple TV?

    No, only AppleTV 1 did that and until recently ony AppleTV 1 did iTunes Extras.
    iTunes Extras have just been added so maybe hope for itunes LP, though I gather Extras is streaming only and old itunes downloaded Extras may (I haven't tested yet) be incompatible.

  • How do I play iTunes purchased content on a non-IOS Tablet?

    I am planning on leaving the IOS ecosystem in favor of another. How do I play/move content that, I purchased thru iTunes and rightfully own, to these devices?
    Thanks in advance...

    Many non-Apple devices offer simple drag & drop methods for adding content or will come with their own syncing software. You should be fine to add any DRM-free content to them, assuming they support the file format, or you can transcode where the format isn't supported and the original is DRM-free. If you have any DRM protected content you will be limited to playing that on iTunes or an Apple device, as per the terms & conditions of the purchase.

  • How Can I play iTunes on my HDTV without Apple TV?

    I am looking for an affordable method of playing iTunes on my big screen HDTV. In other words, I just want to mirror whatever is on my iMac screen on my HDTV. So I want ALL the iTunes features like the visualizer, randomizer, etc. to work without a hitch. Some people were saying they can't get the visualizer to work smoothly. And of course I want quality audio so I can utilize the soundbar on my TV to play MP3s.
    I do not own an Apple TV device but I own a Google TV device called the Vizio Co-Star.
    I was not able to find a Google app to simply mirror what's on my iMac onto my TV screen.
    I reseached and found that there are two apps I can purchase -  AirParrot and Reflector. Is this the best way of achieving what I want to do? Do I purchase both of them on my mac or do I need to purchase one of these and install on my Vizio Co-Star?
    Is there a better or simpler method? I'm up for suggestions.
    Thank you!
    Steve

    It sounds as if you have an iMac that is over five years old, and therefore has a mini-display (instead of Thunderbolt, as found on newer iMacs) port.
    Have you considered a mini-display to HDMI cable connection?  Here is one (from the U.S. store):

    I am certain a Thunderbolt port would transmit audio as well as video.  I think the mini-display port may transmit audio, but I'm not 100% certain.
