HT1473 Apple tv purchases to iTunes
I purchased a movie using apple tv to view on my regular home tv. How do I get this movie onto my Mac in iTures? I can view movies I purchased in iTunes on my home tv using Apple tv, so I should be able to view the movies from Apple tv on iTunes.

How do you NOT sync Apple TV purchases to iTunes?
This question is on behalf of my parents who have Apple TV - which i bought for them and i have become their tech support on 24 hour call ><
Background: My parents share the same account. Dad uses the PC computer with iTunes where my mother only uses Apple TV.
She purchases TV shows, Movies, Rentals, whatever all the time and my father was asking how to turn off the syncing so iTunes doesn't get filled up with all her purchases.
Dad has an iPad and Mum has an iPad. Both have iPhones as well. Everything on the one account. Mum watches TV shows on her iPad as well...but rarely syncs with PC computer. He said some of the purchases download, where others don't? And he is worried about mum's purchases filling up his computer memory!
So his question is: how do you STOP them syncing/downloading?
I've searched & googled but can only find questions from people asking how to sync...not the other way around.
Any ideas?Welcome to the Apple Community.

Apple TV--purchases through iTunes account??
Hi,
I just purchased an Apple TV and assumed (silly me) that when I purchased a movie, that it would just filter out of my iTunes account. I have quite a bit of money in there from gift cards, etc. and would rather have it take the purchase from there than my debit card that is on file.
Is there any way to change this or am I stuck purchasing movies this way? If so, this is disappointing.Actually, I'm talking about purchases and rentals. Using my Apple TV I rented a HD movie and also bought a tv episode, as well as a couple of songs from iTunes. None of it came from my balance on iTunes, all from my debit card on file.
I can see where buying on my MAC then syncing with the Apple TV would work to use the credit that I have on my account, but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having Apple TV to use? It just seems very convoluted, when Apple products always just seem to "make sense".
Thanks for your insight Winston! -
I have recently been purchasing more movies and TV shows through iTunes. When I do his from a desktop computer or iOS device, the titles are accessible on my Apple TV. The opposite does not seem to work however. The content remains accessible only through he Apple TV. I have researched the issue and cannot find a solution. iTunes help does not speak to the issue.
You need to go into your purchased history and download on other devices, they won't appear automatically.

CD's purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on my Apple TV! How do I fix this?
You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

Some shows purchased from itunes do not show on Apple TV
I've downloaded and purchased via iTunes a few kids tv shows. These shows do not show up on my apple Tv. They are marked to sync in iTunes etc, but they still do not appear in Apple TV. any ideas?
ok, here's an update as to the problems i was having. This had nothing to do with the software update. I figured out that when i unplug my iphone before my pc is ready to disconect it, I get an error... something to the effect of Apple mobile manager blah blah blah. If I reboot my computer I am able to sync. So, I guess the solution is to make sure my iphone is ready to disconnect before I actually disconnect it. Funny how that messes up the sync of the ATV. thanks winston for the insight.

Some movies that I have purchased from itunes and are listed in my itunes library arenot listed as purchased movies on my Apple TV. Also one of the movies listed as purchased on my Apple TV does not come up in my Itunes library. Anyone know why?
Are you by chance signed in to differnt accounts on iTunes (your computer(s)) and AppleTV? Is AppleTV connected to more than one computer? When you are compairing lists of movies are you looking under the "Movies" button, or under the "Computer" button? Where all of these movies purchased though iTunes?
NOTE: The computer button only shows the content that is downloaded to your computer(s). So it will not show all the content you have purchased. Just all the content on the computer. -
Does anyone know how to eliminate a mistaken apple ID that you still use as an email
but for some reason, now when I go to make a purchase at ITunes, it brings up this email
as my apple ID instead of my actual Id and it will not take the current password I have for
this email. Somehow I believe it is confused, because years ago this was my first email, and
it had a different password way back then, that I no longer remember.
I am very sorry if this all sounds confusing, but my Mac book has been out of commission for the
past year, and I have been recently trying to work on it, and I am not suave on the computer at all, so
if my next question sounds lame, you'll know why... I wondered if that may have caused any of my
latest hitches, only because when I first purchased Mac, 4 years ago, this rogue email was the one
I signed up with everything on my Mac, but I have not been using it for the past 9 months, just my
iPhone, until that died 3 months ago, and then I got this new I phone 5 2 months ago, thinking my
problems would be..., a thing of the past,??, for at least a little while??? But NO, they have not,
However, I'm sticking to the problem at hand, I have a full functioning apple ID that works and at
some occasional times, ITunes would bring the correct ID up. And only once in a while bring the
Bogus one up. But in the last few weeks, all it asks for now is the wrong ID and my frustration has
reached its max!!' I have missed out on purchasing two apps I needed, and some music I wanted,
and I don't think I'll be able to even use ITunes at all until I can know how to make my devices realize
that my email is an email, not a apple ID, and then make it accept my real ID!!!
Without having to eliminate, or delete my email address I still use, and receive mail
at. Please forgive this lengthy explanation!!!
I was only trying to make sense, if I confused you
more, I'm very sorry... Thank you for any brave ones that tackle this, and actually have some
Solutions for me.., I thank you much indeed!! Sincerely KimContact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

Can my husband and I share purchases on itunes, even if we have different Apple ID's? Can we sync each other's devices to our itunes accounts? Before we had it so that, he had the itunes account and synced my iphone to it as a named device, but the problem was, when I used to send imessages, it looked like it was from my husband and not me!
You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account. -
I have an apple id which I have been happily using to purchase from iTunes and it appears magically on iPad and iPhone, MacBook and partner's iPod touch. Now I have done something wrong in iCloud and my mobile me Id comes up on iPhone and iPad so I can no longer purchase using this and i can't find a way to reset What should I do? I want to be able to buy apps from iPhone and iPad from this same account and still synch with my mac book and share with my partner's iPod touch.
Any suggestions?We are users, not Apple. We cannot trace your phone, and neither can Apple.
Please change every password you have. Posting your email addresses and Apple IDs on a public forum is insane. Hopefully a Mod will edit them out for you. -
We have two iPads. mine is the first one purchased. I opened iTunes to put some photos from the Mac to my wife's iPad. I plugged in my wife's iPad. Both ipads have the same apple id and password. iTunes synced everything from my iPad to my wife's iPad. Now we have two identical iPads looking like mine. Everything on her ipad seems gone and replaced with mine, all her recent holiday photos, emails, settings, etc etc seem gone.
I'm toast!
Help!!

I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?
Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased. -
How to setup so kids carnt purchase on iTunes via Apple TV
Hi everyone I have purchased several Apple TV 2 and 3 .
My dilemma is I have my main Apple TV that I use set up so I can purchase from iTunes and see what I have on iCloud ,
but I want too setup 2 more atv up for the kids in their bedrooms but don't want them to purchase anything from iTunes
,although I still want them to see what's on the iCloud and be able to watch.
Is there any settings or way to connect these up like that.Don't allow them to remember the store password for purchases, plus set up parental controls to require a passcode to purchase.

My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore or does he have to start from scratch? They payment can still be from my card/account, that`s not the problem, but facetime, imessage etc. is a available on both mine and his apple products (I know you can check what email/phone number we can be reached at, but it`s just a click and he see my messages and I his). It`s the privacy problem that is the most important.

He needs to have his own account, the sooner the better.
As for content, non-protected songs can simply be copied to his own new library, and he can use them. As for protected content and apps, anything he still wants will have to be replaced.
