How do i transfer movies to watch on my Apple TV

Hi. I have a Dell PC and an Apple TV unit. I have downloaded films through my apple tv and watched them through my av set up in my lounge without any problems. However, when i download them on my PC through iTunes i cannot watch them through my ATV. I am aware i need to transfer these movies to my ATV but am totally stumped and need some help in doing this. My ATV streams from my PC as i am not using it as a hard drive due to my PC being left on 24-7. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks, Mark.

go to the appleTV (settings > computers) and delete the sharing connection to your iTunes Lib and add a linked/syncing connection (top of screen.. sharing is on the bottom).. put in passwords in iTunes etc..
you can still basically have streaming with a syncing library by going to the sync setting tabs in iTunes (click on appleTV under devices in iTunes and you will see all the tabs to the right) and basically turning syncing off for movies, tv shows etc.. then IMPORTANT: in the summary tab uncheck +view only synced items (this will show unsynced items on your appleTV+). then the unsynced items will show up on your appleTV and will be streamed when when clicked on just like before...

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync

    How can I transfer movies form my macbook pro to my apple air?

    If you have a wireless network, you can enable file sharing with each and transfer select data from one to the other via your wi-fi network.
    Or if you have an external drive used for backup purposes, you can transfer the movies that way.
    If you have Home Sharing enabled with iTunes on each and a wireless network, you don't need to transfer anything unless you want the movie available when away from home.

    How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    Another way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

    If it's on a SD card in your camera, you cau use the camera connection kit, either by connecting the camera or inserting the SD card.
    If it's on your computer, you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

    how do i transfer movies from ATV 3rd gen to iMac? help!

    You don't - AppleTV 3 store nothing.
    Instead (assuming th efeature is available in your country), you download from the internet in iTunes.
    Either on the iTunes store home page or in the Movies category you should find Purchased Quicklinks on the right side of the screen - redownload movies there.  Set download quality in iTunes Preferences.

  • How do you transfer movies from macbook to a external hard drive it won't recognise

    how do i transfer movies from macbook to a external hard drive? it just wont recognize

    So your MacBook Pro is a 2012 model (I'm assuming since you only bought it a week ago!)?
    There are some known issues with the USB 3.0 ports on the 2012 models where they do not recognize USB external drives. This tech note may be of some help - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5172#12.
    Some people that are using pre-release versions of Mountain Lion, to be released in the next couple of weeks, have written here that their USB 3.0 port problems are 'fixed' with the new version of OS X 10.8.
    Try the Apple FAQ first and if that doesn't solve your problem, you may have to wait a couple of weeks to see if 10.8 does.
    Sorry,
    Clinton
