HT1529 i want to watch my dvds on the television by playing them on my mac computer and using apple tv.  hpw do i window share, or how do i import the movie to my iTunes?

I just got an apple tv and need helpin learning how to do the window sharing from my computer to the television.  mirroring i think it is called.  Additionally, how do i get dvds that i own into the itunes movie location so they will be 'selectable' on the tv?  thanks for your feedback.

Ripping DVD's is not something that can be discussed here due to the legal rammifications.
If the Mac support AirPlay mirroring, simply play the DVD on the Mac and then use AirPlay to mirror the content to the ATV.
Honestly, a DVD player connected to the tv would be a simpler solution.

    You can use a HDMI cable.  The adapter you need depends on the age of your MacBook Pro.

  • How do you import a movie from a DVD to my Itunes library?

    Hii! I have been using Itunes for 3 months and it just came to me that I want to put a movie that I have on DVD on my ipod. I know that i have to put it in my Itunes first but how do you put your movie in my itunes library?? I have been in all tutorials that I could find but they don't tell me how to do this.
    I need an answer quick! Going on vacation tomorrow!
    Thanx!

    Actually, what you want to do is illegal in the US (and probably Canada too) since it requires breaking the copyright protection on DVDs. As such, even discussion of methods is prohibited by the [terms of use of this site|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]
    A DVD wouldn't play in itunes anyway since it isn't a supported format.

  • Is is possible to convert the movies purchased on itunes to DVD?

    Is is possible to convert the movies purchased on itunes to DVD? (In other words you would be burning the movie or tv shows to a blank DVD).

    You can store just what you want on the external. Just set up folders for what you want. I have a music folder, movies and TV shows, and pictures folders. I also have mine partitioned for OSX and Windows. I have a few files I need if I am running on windows so I keep them on the windows side. I always keep a back up of my documents and a few other files it is a pain to download on the external.
    You can also copy every folder and file on your machine to the external if it is big enough. This is a true copy not a back up file generated by a back up program. I like to do this if I get adventuresome and plan to do some major experimenting with my software. Saves having to reload everything if it crashes.

  • HT204370 I registered a digital copy on disneymoviesanywhere and connected with my itunes account but can't find the movies on my itune account.  Just want to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

    I registered a digital copy of a movie on disneymoviesanywhere.  I connected the account to my itunes account but I can't find the movie on my itunes account.  I'm just trying to download the movie onto my ipod touch.

    Hey cptniemo,
    Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
    Download past purchases

    Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):

  • How do i import my movie and dvds from my computer onto itunes. it not importing

    How do i import my movie files from my computer onto itunes? its not importing when i go to file and import files.

    If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
    If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
    The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

  • How can I watch a DVD playing on my iMac on my TV using Apple TV?

    How can I watch a DVD playing on my iMac on my TV using Apple TV?

    You can't. The only way is to transfer the movie to your computer and import to iTunes (making sure it is compatible) and either use home-sharing or airplay the movie off an ios device.

  • HT203180 how can I sync a movie downloaded on itunes from my personal computer that is authorized for my daughter's ipad, but the purchased movie was done under my apple id

    To start off, I absolutely do not understand iTunes.  I feel that with every new "upgrade" it becomes more difficult to use.
    We have 3 apple ID's for our home to make syncing easier and not have complications with devices.  I have a window's computer with itunes which is "authorized computer" for all 3 apple ID's in family (mom, dad, child).  We purchased a DVD with digital copy, installed and redeemed the code for the digital copy.  However, it would not allow me to "redeem" on my child's apple ID.  therefore, the digital copy went into my apple id.  Now I can not sync the movie to my child's ipad/apple id.  How can this be done?  Please help!  I know it can't be that hard, or is Apple just making iTunes worse and worse.

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case. 

  • I want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd?

    i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

    The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but  there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
    Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
    * which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
    This might help
    For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
    Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
    Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

  • I want all of my music in the main library of iTunes, how do I do this?

    I want all of my music in the main library of iTunes, how do I do this?

    Select the Music source, switch to Songs view, press CTRL+A to select all files, right-click, click on Consolidate Files. Any files that were stored outside the iTunes Media folder will be copied into it. You need to manually delete the originals. Or use my script ConsolidateByMoving to move files into the media folder without leaving duplicates behind.

  • HT1551 This thing is horrible. I rented a movie to watch later. Confirmed the movie was downloaded (available to watch) and when I hit "play" it tells me it will be ready to watch in 19-hours! What's up?

    This thing is horrible. I rented a movie to watch later. Confirmed the movie was downloaded (available to watch) and when I hit "play" it tells me it will be ready to watch in 19-hours! What's up?

    The ATV has no storage to speak of, so all content is streaming.
    If the user desires to download first and play later, do so via iTunes on the computer.

  • I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.
