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.

  • Does anyone know if the Apple HDMI adaptor can play iTunes purchased movies with the latest IOS

    Does anyone know if the Apple HDMI adaptor can play iTunes purchased movies with the latest IOS. I only want to play my downloaded movie on a TV where there is no internet for Apple to unlock it and play via my AppleTV. The reviews I am reading are very mixed !

  • Play iTunes purchased content without internet connection on Apple TV

    I have this issue, If I am not connected to the internet, I can play my purchased content into iTunes on my Mac, but I cannot play it on my apple TV. as soon as I try that it attempts to connect to the internet and eventually it tells me the device is not authorized to play content. Now the apple TV is authorized to play the content just fine when I have internet, but for some reason it doesn't when I am not connected to the internet. Again this is content shared through Home sharing from my iTunes library.
    As well I have only tried it with movies and music that I have purchased, not with rented content. So It would only make sense for me to be able to play my purchased content from my iTunes library regardless wether or not I am connected to the internet.
    Any ideas?

    Sep 11 2014: No one replied to this (or posted a response to any of the similar queries) and I would like to have had this information earlier this week so I am posting for all future inquiries.
    History: Internet not available for two days (switching providers). I tried to stream from my MacBook Pro through appleTV to my home television; and I received a "not authorized" error message for any iTunes PURCHASED content.  Also tried to AirPlay from the laptop to the TV and content is not viewable.  Spoke with the always helpful and amenable apple support tech and...
    You CANNOT stream from/through appleTV or airplay from your computer to a home TV (or any unauthorizable device) without an internet connection.  Period. 
    Apple has determined that it's okay to view iTunes-purchased content on your 17" laptop or 21.5" iMac or iPad or iPhone or any device not connected to the internet (e.g. on a plane, etc.) BUT viewing on a 21.5" 3rd party television would be a problem.  It does not make sense of course.  And is especially vexing since the old appleTV also STORED content which meant you could watch without an internet connection.  And I trust that apple will quickly resolve this software/programming "problem" since some day the internet will crash for long enough for apple to be bombarded with a LOT of very angry customers who will not understand why they cannot play the movies they purchased on their home televisions.  apple, what are you trying to prevent?  I can take my laptop to a local bar and screen RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK on the bar's 105" monitor (as long as I can connect to the internet) but I cannot watch the film at home?

  • 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 organise iTunes purchases/content after moving abroad? Please help...

    Please can someone advise in simple terms, I am so confused!
    I have recently moved with my young family from the UK to the USA. We are hoping this will be a permanent move, but this is yet to be confirmed. We will be visiting the uk hopefully every year and no doubt take the phones and iPads with us. Between us we have:
    Ipad 2
    Ipad minis x 2
    Apple TV
    iPhone 4s
    iPhone 5c
    All my iTunes content is stored on my hp laptop, including many CDs and DVDs that I converted to an apple format. Purchases in the uk include 10 albums, 10 movies, 1 tv show, 27 books, a gazillion apps (most of those free, apart from I know I purchased minecraft and the kids have spent hours creating worlds on there!). Most of all this is for the children. I don't tend to store any content on the devices themselves unless we are planning a long trip. We tend to rely on wifi and home sharing to access all content from my laptop.
    I've just started to look at changing the iTunes Store location/credit card from the UK to the USA. I went to an apple shop to help me do this to make sure I was going about it the right way, I even purchased frozen movie from iTunes Store whilst I was in the apple store, to check it worked. It did, but on the device I updated - ipad 2 - I can no longer see the movies or music that were there before. I've refrained from changing any other devices as yet. The apps all seem to be there however. (I understand that some of these apps may not get updates if I don't change to the USA iTunes Store, since they were obtained in the uk).
    I basically need to understand what options I have in terms of easily being able to access all content (whether converted or downloaded content) ideally via homesharing, as the kids are used to that.
    1) in settings do I keep the uk iTunes Store and uk credit card linked to it, and continue to make purchases from there (is this even possible?) Would purchasing a uk VPN help with this?
    2) in settings do I convert to the USA iTunes Store and USA credit card - on all devices - and if so, how can we access all our content? If this is an option I would greatly appreciate instructions on what to do.
    I think one option would be to just change the country/credit card details in settings each time we wish to access something from the 'other' store - but this isn't really practical with all our devices and 2 young kids who just wouldn't understand why they can't see all their movies in the cloud! I don't have time to permanently be switching details on their devices all day!
    Many thanks in advance for any guidance on this. I really want to get everything working smoothly.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    That is sometimes refured of redownloading from iCloud.
    If the media is not current available from iTunes/APp store yo can't rdownload it. In the USA, ringtones and audio books are not redownloadable.
    For complete list see:

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • HT2729 how do i play my purchased movie on itune?

    You can't. That would be a breach of copyright. Just because you bought a copy does not give you the right to re-publish it.

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

    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.

  • I wish you could play iTunes U content directly on Apple TV

    First of all, I think the Apple TV is great and a steal at $99.  But, I really, really wish there was a convenient way to play iTunes U content directly on aTV.  From what I can figure out, I have to download the content to my Mac, make my Mac's iTunes content on AppleTV, then access it that way.  Why can't I log in to my iCloud account on aTV and play whatever iTunes U video I want as a streaming video?  I don't want to have my Mac be unavailable when I'm watching a course I'm using my Mac for the instruction and watching a video on a laptop isn't my idea of something that is desirable.  I'd rather watch the video on my TV and follow along with the examples on my Mac.

    Whinston,
    I live in Azerbaijan. Recently I bought apple tv in New York. When I come back to my country tried to rent movies from my country but couldn't find my country name on apple tv menu, so there is a problem I don't know how to fix it. is there have another way to take a rent movies?

  • How do I transfer itunes purchases to another hard drive

    how do I transfer itunes purchases to another hard drive

    Drag them or the entire iTunes library there. If you want the active iTunes library to be there, once done, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose it.

  • HT1657 How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

    You can always setup your GMail account on your Mac as a POP3 account, and then flag GMail to mark all messages new.  The next mail check would cause your mail app to download all the messages on teh GMail server to your mail client.  Once they are in your mail client, you manage them locally in there, and it won't matter if the GMail host account goes away or not, because POP3 works with the local data once it is downloaded form the server.
    Be advised that doing this can cause you to redownload thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of emails depending upon your email volume and how long you have been using GMail.  If I do this, my GMail wants to re-send close to 6GB of data to me again because I have been using GMail for about as long as it has existed, and I average 100-200 emails a day on that account.

  • 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.
