HT1657 Why are all my Apple TV downloads suddenly needing 2 hours plus before they're "ready to watch"

After two months of working perfectly and swiftly my apple tv now tells me I have to wait over 2 hours before anything is available to watch.
The wif-fi box seems to be working fine for any other devise and the apple tv says the signal strength is strong.
I've tried unplugginmg and turning everything off and on again.
I've only just replaced my first apple tv box which was very irratic, when an apple support guy in the store advised the arial thingy that picks up the wif-fi signal was probably damaged. Really hope I don't now have to buy a 3rd.

I don't think I fully understand what you are describing as problems. However, some movies that are downloaded directly to the Apple TV can't be moved or viewed on a PC. There are a lot of movies in the iTunes Store that are only available through the Apple TV (i.e. can't be viewed or moved to the PC).
Also, what version of iTunes are you using and what version of the Apple TV software are you using? Some of the ways in which content is listed in iTunes changed with the v3.0 release of Apple TV.

  • HT1657 I rented a few movies and downloaded them to my computer.  Before they had been viewed, I updated my iTunes software and the movies were no longer in my library.  How can I access the movies as I have already paid for them?

  • Why are all the apple based Apps free for my cousin

    Me and my cousin both have Apple iPad minis and for some reason all his apple based apps like iMovie Keynote and iPhoto are all free and I have to purchase them and have already purchased iMovie fro $10:49

    The apps are free to anyone that bought a new apple device since Sept 2013.

  • Why are all of my purchases downloaded from the cloud but can't be played from iTunes?

    I recently updated iTunes as prompted.  Many of my songs disappeared.  I was able to get most of them back.  Some of the songs I purchased will not play in iTunes.  I've checked my history, and it says that all songs were donwloaded.  Why won't they play?

    But I would think that the purchases would be saved onto my Itunes account and therefore redownload into my computer. I have been able to retrieve about 9 of the 20+ songs that I bought by syncing my phone however the other purchases are still not there. Also, when I go to the Itunes store and back to the purchases, the button you press to buy it says "PURCHASED" so I know I don't have to rebuy them. How do I redownload the music I purchased previously?

  • Why are all my Apple devices not connecting to the web?

    I have an Airport express and has been working fine up until recently. Now none of my Apple devices are connecting to the web. They all find the network no problem and all connect however they will not connect to the internet. The strange thing is that our Windows laptop works fine but absolutly nothing from Apple, this includes a 2011 MacBook pro, iphone 3gs, ipod touch, Apple tv and 2x 2nd gen ipads. I have reset the airport and  set up a new network, it worked for one day and is back to how it was. Any advice would be great

    I seem to be having a similair issue. I have an AirPort Extreme and my iMac connects fine but now my Kindle and Netflix are unable to connect to the Internet? They see my network but just can't connect to the internet?
    I used to have my cable modem connected to a Vonage phone router, which then connected to my Airport. Everything worked fine then. I recently canceled my Vonage service and removed the phone router. Now my cable modem is connected directly to my Airport. Did removing the phone router casue my problem? Do I need to re-set something to get my kindle and Netflix to work again?

  • Why are all of my monospaced fonts suddenly so thin?

    Yesterday I noticed that suddenly all of my monospaced fonts are completely messed up. Here's a about week old screenshot for comparison
    This is how it looked before
    And now
    These are both from TextMate using Monaco 14, but the same issue happens with Menlo. I also tried to download Bistream Vera Sans Mono and it also looks pretty ugly.
    This started happening to me yesterday and I actually reformatted the whole drive (not because of this), reinstalled Snow Leopard, upgraded back to Lion, didn't restore any backups and the fonts still look ugly.
    I would understand if this started happening only after the reinstall, because that would mean I had some specific settings. But it started happening out of nowhere and persisted after clean reinstall of OS X Lion.
    At one point I actually had some applications displaying the font correctly until I restarted them.
    These examples are before I reinstalled Lion.
    This is Xcode after restarting it
    and the same code from terminal VIM, which I haven't turned off yet
    these two were actually taken at the same time, both using the same font. But once I restarted the terminal, it started displaying it in the same messed up way.
    Some people suggested the font smoothing in System Preferences, but I have that turned on

    I managed to solve this with
    defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

  • HT5557 Why are all my books that I have purchased no longer in my library?

    Why are all my books that I have purchased no longer in my library?

    The problem is, if I'm in an area that I don't have service or Wi-Fi and I want to read a book that I have purchased and paid for and I can't retrieve it...it is extremely annoying. I have paid A LOT of money for MANY MANY ebooks.  I HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED THE NEW 7.0 SYSTEM BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE IT. I HAVE IT ON MY IPHONE AND IT HAS TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY CALENDAR AND A FEW OTHER APPS.  I DID NOT WANT THE CHANGES ON THE IPAD TOO.  In other words, I have done nothing different.  My Kindle app is working great and has twice to five times more e-books in it.  The sad part is that iBooks charges more and does not get the new releases out as well and timely as Amazon.  I use Amazon more often now but I do like to keep my series together and for that reason I of still use them occasionally. 

  • HT204411 Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa?

    Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.

    Availability is determined/controlled by the Copyright owner... not Apple.

  • Why are all of our cords breaking, so we can not charge anything?

    Why are all of the cords so cheap, and breaking?

    I am pretty certain that Apple put something into iOS 6.1.4 to REJECT all 3rd-party power cords.  Ever since I updated to iOS 6.1.4, my most trusted cord (4 months old) has been saying, "You cannot charge the device with this cord".  BZZZT Apple strikes again !!
    Either that, or the new "Kill your battery as quickly as possible" software in iOS 6.1.4 has been draining power so rapidly, that my 3rd-party cord cannot keep up with the massive power-draw from iOS 6.1.4 !!  Don't upgrade !!

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

  • Why are all paths in Clipping Masks and Compound Paths?

    When I open up previous versions of Illustrator files (i.e. CS5), why are all of my paths messed up. Every object is embedded in a Clipping Mask, paths are compounded and in most cases type on a path is expanded into multiple non-editable objects. This causes complete redesign. This is terrible.

    Because Illustrator accessed the PDF part of the file.
    ---> this points to corrupt files.
    How were those files transferred to your computer? Are they on a server?
    How old are they?
    Which versions were they created in?
    Did you already try to restart (the computer)?
    Any plugins installed?
