HT200109 Can I download movies that I purchased on Apple TV (2nd gen) to my PC?

I purchased a movie on my ATV 2gen, but I don't seem to be able to download it to my PC (I can download purchades TV shows without aproblem). Is this possible?

I didn't realise you could purchase a movie on AppleTV 2/3, only rent.
Which country you're in may affect things - I'm in UK, and Movies aren't downloadable from the cloud and even when they are some studios are not on board.
With movie purchases I would advise you to buy in iTunes if you can't find a solution then view on AppleTV under Computers using Home Sharing.
Rentals on an AppleTV cannot be viewed on a PC, but a rental on a PC can be streamed to AppleTV under Computers>Rentals.  Don't ask, it makes no sense.

  • How can I upload movies and shows purchased on Apple TV(1st Gen) to iTunes 10

    I'm trying to save the movies purchased on Apple TV(original) back to my iTunes library, but I don't know how. The Apple TV hard disk is full.

    This should happen automatically.
    ctrl-click on the Apple TV in the iTunes list, you should get an option to transfer purchases, if not or choosing it doesn't help you may need to re-pair the Apple TV with your library, settings > computers > iTunes library and disconnect, this will erase synced content but not purchased content that hasn't transferred, to reconnect settings > computers > connect to iTunes (not shared library).

  • Can't download games that I purchased on PC APP

    I just bought GTA IV for PC and I am unable to download the game from the my downloads area in the application even though it says download and install. When I click on it I get the following error message:
    There was an unexpected error with the application. If the problems persists, exit best buy PC app. Do you want to exit?
    Visit http://www.bestbuy.com for online help and solutions

    I was still unable to get the PC app to work 48 hours after I made the purchase. I called up BB customer support and talked to a really nice guy who is some kind of app designer of his own as well as game designer and he agreed that the app should not of been released since BB was aware of the situation as they received many calls about it. Even though that the purchase clearly stated no refunds he contacted supervisors and was able to get me a refund and I took my service else ware

  • Where can I download an older version of ibooks for my 2nd gen touch?

    My Ipod touch crashed, then when I tried to restore from a back up it said the back up was corrupt!
    I now have no way of reading any of my books.
    When I move my books from Itunes to my ipod I get a message telling me that I must install Ibooks to read any of my books. But as I have a 2nd gen Ipod i cannot download the new ibooks
    Is there anyway I can download an old version of Ibooks or use another app to read them? I have tried installing kindle and stanza but they require a newer IOS.
    I have installed ereader but it can't locate any books in my library...
    I'm more than a little annoyed! Can someone help?

    Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
    Your iPod stopped working, did it?
    and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
    I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
    In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

  • How can I download albums that were purchased on my iPhone, and I dont have my iPhone anymore?

    I had my iPhone stolen and I had purchased two albums and did not get to sync my phone how do i retrive those albums?

    The link provided for reloading music is currently US only
    If you reside outside the US and don't have a backup you may be out of luck
    All you can do is contact iTunes, no guarantee

  • Can't transfer movie rental from iMac to Apple TV 1st gen

    Hello guys, any ideas here...?
    I have rented a movie in my iMac and can't get it transfered or streamed to my Apple TV 1st generation.
    When I open iTunes I can see the "rented movies" tab under "movies" and the movie is there. I hit the "move" command the movie moves to "on Apple TV" but when I hit the sync command it goes back and just dosn't sync.
    I have also tried to connect my library to stream the movie but when I open my shard movies in the Apple TV the rented movie will not appear on the list.
    Tks in advance!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Ensure that ports 80 and 443 are open to the WAN for all devices and aren't the subject of port forward or NAT rules. You might try reauthorising your itunes library as well.

  • How can I use video mirroring?  iPhone 4S / Apple TV (2nd gen)

    Instructions say double click home button and swipe to right to see icon - but it is not there?
    (yes - I have updated the Apple TV)
    Help appreciated!

    No, only AppleTV 1 did that and until recently ony AppleTV 1 did iTunes Extras.
    iTunes Extras have just been added so maybe hope for itunes LP, though I gather Extras is streaming only and old itunes downloaded Extras may (I haven't tested yet) be incompatible.

  • How can I do a Hard Reset on my apple tv 2nd gen, Thanks Guys

    I messed with my AppleTv, DMS configurations in order to try and get it updated.  Now it wont connect to my internet.  Is there any way to do a hard reset on the device to restore it to factory settings?  Thanks guys

    Yes, but have you tried the Reset function on the ATV(Settings>Genereal>reset)
    You will have to connect the device to your computer with a micro-usb cable and put the ATV in DFU mode(hold menu and play button down for 7sec) It should show up in iTunes then. Click restore, it will download and install the latest software(5.0).

    They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
    i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

  • Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

    Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

    If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
    If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
    In both cases...
    If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world.  If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie.  I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

  • I can't download movies.  I'm taking a cinema class where the professor provides a link to to a movie to be watched.  I am unable to access the link on my mac pro.  is there an app or software download that will allow me to do this?

    I can't download movies.  I'm taking a cinema class where I am required to watch movies.  My professor provides the link on an electronic blackboard for the movies.  I can't access the link on my mac pro notebook.  Is there an app or software download that can help with this?  I can access the link fine on a pc.

    The "right click" is a function of the OS and those keyboard commands do not work on the iPad at all with the built in virtual keyboard. I don't use an external keyboard - so I cannot attest to the possibility of that working - but there are no keyboard shortcuts with the iPad keyboard.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

    Cdadd,
    If by any chance you have made purchases with more than one account, you must check for past purchases separately for each account.
