Problems with playing movies through apple tv

Our purchased movies stop playing through apple tv as soon as you use the internet on ipad or iMac

We have unlimited internet, never had any problems before with connection. Have had apple tv for 12 months.
The last two days, apple tv is only playing previews and other apple option such as podcasts and youtube etc, but will not play any of our purchased movies. I have switched everything off at power source, including internet, restarted the the apple tv, logged out of apple id and logged back in. Checked location setting, checked the definition settings.
Nothing is working. The loading icon just spins, but the movie does not appear to be able to load.
I am able to load the movie on the lap top, but when I switch to apple tv, it reverts back to loading.
PLEASE HELP!

How do I set up iTunes to automatically move on to play the next album after the last one has finished? (in Album view)

How do I set up iTunes to automatically move on to / play the next album after the last one has finished? (in Album view).
This used to happen automatically in Genre view.

Hi Henryhippo,
If you have questions about play order in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful; I believe you can use the Play Next or Add to Up Next to add albums as well as songs.

How do I set my IPod to play all my new podcasts continuously?

One possibility is to put them into a playlist in the desired order and then sync that playlist from your iTunes library to your iPod.

This is possible, but I haven't found any official Apple topics about it, so I will share a nice web article about it on a Mac fan website:

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network?

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

How do i get my ipad to play on my apple tv

how do i get my ipad to play on my apple tv

Having trouble playing movies through the iPod

Does the iPod have to be in a certain mode to play movies through a component cable

Assuming that a compatible cable is being used to output the video to a capable TV, you also need to make sure the TV Out setting is enabled from under Video -> Video Settings -> TV Out.
See this article to determine if you are using the correct cable for your model iPod.

Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing

Recently I purchased a tv show on iTunes, when playing it through apple TV it constantly renders while playing on the Samsung tv which takes forever too watch.
Hope someone can advise if I am doing something wrong.
My laptop is directly under the tv however my modum is in another room so it is operating through Wifi.
Thank you

Restart all devices and the router to see if it helps. May or may not.
If you Purchased in iTunes on the laptop ensure you are playing back on AppleTV via the Computers icon not under the main TV Shows icon which will reload from the web.
I would move the laptop away from the TV in case it's causing interference to teh wifi though clearly an AppleTv might have the same issue but is designed to sit next to the TV.
If you were playing via Computers and it's still slow you could connect an ethernet cable between AppleTv and laptop, keep wifi on the laptop for internet via the router, and enable intrenet sharing over ethernet in System Preferences > Sharing so AppleTV can do an internet authorisation. Hopefully restarting iTunes/router will just do the trick though.
Do you have any non-Apple security software eg NetBarrier, if so try disabling to see if it was detecting AppleTV as an intrusion threat due to multiple connection attempts.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

How can I set a specific start play time after disc insertion?

How can I set an automatic play start time of (say, a minute after the DVD was inserted) if the watcher has not selected anything from the main menu?
TIA.
MacBook Pro 2.16 ghz 17 Mac OS X (10.4.9) FCP 5.1.2 DVDSP 4.1.1

Set the timeout action for the menu in inspector
(General Tab for the menu, set the seconds and what
it should do there)
I set the At End menu to Timeout, set the seconds to the same as the time for the song playing in the background to finish, and set the Action to go to the Track where the video is. The song ends but it just remains on the Main menu. The video doesn't start.
What have I missed?
Again, TIA.

How do I set the number of Plays?

01Jul2011
I need to change the number of plays of some mp3 files in itunes. How do I change files that were played, but not counted as plays to played?
I have audio lectures, in order in a playlist that I don't want to hear again. My playlist is set only to list unplayed (plays <1) audio files. Sometimes the ipod I use to listen to the files locks up and does count the completed files as played (Plays = 1). How can I set the Plays from 0 to 1?
Thank you for your help with this.
Regards,
chhenden

Start the file playing in iTunes then click on the right end of the play progress bar. Playback will end. The play count will increment and the next track will begin to play.

How do I set up multiple iMessage emails with one Apple ID?

We have one Apple ID and many family members with iPads, iPhones etc... As it stands we all receive all incoming imessages and this is impracticle moving forward.
Other than setting up multiple Apple ID's how do we set up each user with an individual iMessage address?
I understand how to do this using a phone numbers but cannot stop all users getting imessages sent to the Apple ID email address. I have tried inputting secondary email addresses but get error messages advising "account already in use".
Long story short.....Can I set up all family devices on the one apple ID but designate each member with an individual email address that precludes them from receiving iMessages sent to the "master" Apple ID address?
Phew
Thanks

To my knowledge, yes, this is impossible. Your primary iMessage account is your AppleID account, so as long as you all share the one AppleID, then all messages will appear on all iOS 5 devices using that AppleID for their iMessage account.
The only thing to do is have people set up their own iMessage ID. They can stil then set up unique "receive at" addresses, but these are really additional addresses for messages to go to, and do not get around the fact that the account itself is defined by the AppleID.
P.S. there is nothing stopping you from using the one, common AppleID for the iTunes and app store, then setting up a new one and just using that for iMessage.
