HT1860 I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?

I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?  I have home sharing set up and can see my computer iTunes on my apple TV.  I just can't see my apple TV movie on my computer.

Hello theycallmeboz,
If the movie was purchased on the AppleTV it wont show up in home sharing until that movie has been downloaded to an iTunes library. You can download previous purchases from the iTunse Store at any time. The article below goes over that process.

You may also want to take a look at enabling automatic downloads on your computer so that anytime you purchase content, it gets downloaded to iTunes.

  • I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I've looked at that, but on my PC, "look for remote speakers connected with airtunes" isn't an option.
    The only options I get are "prevent ipods [etc] from syncing automatically" , "warn me when [X %] of the data on this computer will be changed" and "forget all remotes". Its also got a list of backups I have saved, as well as a button to reset sync history.
    When I am playing a song, the "airplay" button isn't even visible.
    I am sure that the apple tv setting is on as well. Is there anything else you can help me with?

  • I just installed an apple TV (1st generation) and it doesn't mirror on my TV what I see on my computer....

    I just installed an apple TV (1st genertaion) and it doesn't mirror whay I see on my MacBook Air......isn't it capable to do so??....I saw that capability on the apple TV (3rd generation)

    Try going to Settings on your Apple TV then click General>Then Scroll down to Software Update. Im not sure if certain Apple TV's were excluded from the new update but give that a shot.

  • HT1498 I rented a movie on apple TV 1st generation and it will not download

    I rented a movie from apple TV, normally it downloads immediately, but for some reason tonight it will not start.  I check interent connection via speedtest and it was 8.0Mbps.  I also purchased a movie to see if that would get it going and still nothing.  Its as if the store is letting me buy it, but not allowing me to download it. 
    I have gone to the download section in settings.  After logging in it says I have nothing to download. 
    I went back to the store attempted to purchase again, a message said I already purchased it, go to seeting\download to select it.

  • Problems with apple tv (1st generation) and remote

    hello folks
    my apple remote controllers (i have two) both now have no play/pause. i can navigate around the apple tv (from left to right and up and down) but cannot play or select anything. I have successfully paired/unpaired the remotes so the issue isn't here.
    does anybody have a helpful tip? without being able to play /pause the apple tv is completely screwed.

    get yourself an ipad. it makes a great apple tv remote
    on a serious note.. could it be possible you have super strong thumbs and have broken both the play buttons? do you have a macbook or something you can test the remotes on, other than the apple tv?
    try a system restore if you can't get another remote to test it with. have you tried power on/off then re-pair remote?

  • Cannot stream movies from itunes to apple tv 1st generation

    Hi,
    I have an apple tv 1st generation and whenever I'm renting movies I would like to play them via streaming on my TV. Unfortunately I have to wait until it's fully downloaded and then I have to transfer them to the Apple tv.
    Can someone tell me if there is a way to be able to stream rented movies from Itunes to the apple TV without having to wait until it's fully downloaded?
    I'm using a macbook pro with mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Any help would be so much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If you rent via your Mac then you have to wait until it's full loaded. If you would like to stream then rent directly on the Apple TV

  • Apple tv 1st Generation Remote Query

    I have an Apple TV 1st Generation and I have lost the white remote control. I had installed the Remote App on my ipad and it was working fine but it seems to have lost the connection with the Apple TV and is not showing up the Apple TV when I go into the Remote App. I got a new white remote control but to get this paired I have to I have to unpair my lost remote. This is difficult to do as I have lost it!  Does anyone have any suggestions how to get the new remote paired or to get the Ipad Remote app to work without going into SETTINGS > GENERAL > REMOTES in the main menu. Thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Using the new remote, hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

    I bought a hd movie on my iPad , however when I try to play on Apple TV 1st generation. It does not appear or says content not available. My TV is hd compatible

    AppleTV1 only supports HD upto 720p - chances are the iPad HD vserion is 1080p and beyond ATV1 capability.
    Also do not expect recent iTunes purchases to appear on AppleTV 1 store menus as purchased - ATV1 does not know about 'cloud access'.
    Best option is to download the 720p version (set in iTunes Preferences on computer iTunes) and sync/stream to AppleTV 1 from iTunes.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • I purchased a tv series and downloaded the first episode, when I went to download the next episode a message popped up saying "this computer is already associated with an apple id" and won't let me download the rest of the shows

    I purchased a tv series and downloaded the first episode, when I went to download the next episode a message popped up saying "this computer is already associated with an apple id.....You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 41 days" and won't let me download the rest of the shows even though I haven't changed accounts and I'm using the same account I purchased the shows with.

    It's been months, so you may not care anymore, but you can't download songs from multiple Apple IDs over a 90 days period.  Sorry, it's not allowed for legal reasons.

  • HT1784 In iTunes my Apple tv (1st Generation) only shows Summary and photos so I can no longer load a movie and sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced options now missing ?

    I used my Apple tv (1st generation) to load films on iTunes and then sync to my Aplle tv. In iTunes I now can only see Summary and Photos and therefore lost the ability to load a film and then sync to the Apple tv. Anybody else experienced this with ? Cannot find any options to resolve this.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.
