HT202157 anyone having trouble with renting movies with Apple TV?

Not sure what to do, can't seem to rent on Apple TV tonight. Netflix is working and Itunes on my MAC is working. I can always plug Mac to sound system but.... Anyone out there ith same trouble today.
BTW:
I restarted AppleTV
I plug/unplugged (the godd old alt/del)

I appreciate you trying to help. However, I have NO idea how to check for a '3rd party DNS'. As I said, it worked flawlessly on Monday. Wouldn't that mean I was corrected properly?
I went to Apple TV support and in answer to rentaing movies it referred me with a link to this:
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
This is a link FROM the Apple TV page. So I should have 30 days to watch the movie. Under Settings is a "Search for rented movies" option. Isn't that where you would find your rentals that you have not watched yet?
It's not that I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just do not have a CLUE how to provide what you are asking for.
Thanks.

HT1577 I am having trouble downloading rented movies.

Help $$$ going down the drain.
I am having trouble downloading rented movies. It tells me it is going to take 150 hours to download a 1gig movie. I am using a macbook pro. My internet is hight speed broadband and is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this problem? this has happened twice now.
Cheers

I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

Need help with rented movies and Apple TV

I rented two movies from the iTunes Store from my laptop rather than my Apple TV. I cannot get the rented movies to show up on my Apple TV. I've tried to "move" the two movies from my laptop to Apple TV via the Apple TV tab in iTunes where it shows both movies under a "Rented Movies" section and gives me the option to "move" each one to my Apple TV, but when I click on each movie to move it to the Apple TV and then hit "Apply," nothing happens (at least as far as I can tell). Is there someplace special I need to find rented movies using my Apple TV remote? I clearly need help, please!

Hi Winston,
I have purchased the third generation of Apple TV but have not installed it yet, so I am still using my second generation Apple TV, for which I posed this question. Is the answer different when using Apple TV II?

HT1498 Trouble watching rented movie on Apple TV

I have rented movies through my laptop several times and transferred them to my Apple TV to watch them. However, I rented one the other day and after I transferred it and pulled it up to play it, I got the message that I wasn't authorized to do so. However, the other movies I've rented I can play without a problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am having the same problem. Rented a movie tonight. Downloaded it to my ipad but when I try to airplay it to my Apple TV, I'm only getting sound. I have checked my Apple TV is updated, I restarted it and unplugged it for 30 seconds. On my Apple TV I checked itunes for rentals and it says there is nothing there. The only thing I have not tried is restarting my ipad. It's an ipad 2 btw. If I get it sorted out, I'll let ya know how.

Does anyone know why a rented movie on Apple TV doesn't have any audio?

Hello,
Has anyone had a similar problem. I just rented a documentary, however there's no audio on the movie, although there is audio on the preview. What is the cause of that and what can be done?

Hey gregstew,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I looked into your issues when no audio is playing while watching your rented movie. From what I found is that potentially the automatic sound selection may be switching to the Dolby Digital output and you may not have the setup at home. There is a resolution though.

Troubling finding rented movies on Apple TV

Having recently been given an Apple TV I have managed to play music from iTunes and view photos however I cant view the film I rented via iTunes. Looking at iTunes it is showing that the movies has transferred to Apple TV but i cant find it. Confusing there is no folder called Rented Movies.

In iTunes under the devices list the AppleTV will have a tab for movies and ransferring rentals.
On AppleTV the rentals will be at the top of the Movies options under Rented Movies (or similar).
I assume your AppleTV runs software 2.0 or higher.

I am having trouble downloading a movie with my iPod

I had purched a movie on Feb. 23/14 and I had trouble with the downloading. I had a friend of mine help me with the problem, but now it is taking so many tries to download it. It re-started at least four times now. I wish it could just download already. This movie costed me $19.99 (without taxes) and I would like to have it available so I can watch it. I am asking for help, please.

Delete stuff off of the iPad to make room for it.

Is anyone having trouble using Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 7?

I've just started using Dreamweaver and thought I could import source code from an HTML newsletter template I had and just update it with the new text and pictures. I started a new HTML page, imported the source code into the workspace, then started updating it. However, all I get is code when I try to preview the file in the design view or a web browser. What am I doing wrong? I've attached a screen cap of what I'm seeing.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Just a nit - you are not *importing* anything. You are just copying and pasting. I'm just sayin'.
When you paste HTML code into Design view, all of the HTML brackets ("<" and ">") are converted to HTML entities ("<" and ">", respectively), which makes the result look like code in Design view, but there is no 'display' to be rendered other than the text.

Anyone having trouble viewing video taken with my iPhone 4s on my pc.

The video looks fine on my phone then when I go to view it on my computer it lags and skips around, is it just that my computer is having a hard time supporting the QuickTime HD video?

You should be importing these to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
Open iphoto, connect iphone, import photos/vids

Anyone having trouble installing Flash Player with latest Firefox?

I can't get Flash Player to work on Firefox (Windows 8.1). Works just fine in IE but when I try to add it as an add-on for Firefox it goes to manual install and then fails, with message that it is already running in another application. I disabled it in IE in case that was the problem, but using the Check function shows it isn't on my computer. I've tried the things on the Help page but my Firefox (most current version) menu doesn't have any of the options shown such as enable Java. I have even tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox. I already have Shockwave for Director as an add-on, but even before I put that in it happened.

The ActiveX plugin for IE functions independently of the Firefox plugin.
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Download (Save - DON'T run) that and reboot.
Run it from your Downloads folder.

HT1498 Problem with renting movie from Apple TV

Apple tv first asked me about my credit card code and then asked to go to iTunes store in my computer. I dont heve this movie in my rentals and I dont know what to do?

Hey pablo3113,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like there may be an issue with your payment information, and thus the purchase was unable to complete. To check, go ahead and login to view your payment information on a computer with iTunes:

Having trouble streaming a movie to apple tv - please help

I have a movie in the .dv format that i have taken from my time capsule to Itunes - I can play it in itunes on my macbook- i can not stream or sync the movie to atv - the closest i came was when a message came up that "apple tv did not sync the movie because it can not play the movie" once again I can play the movie without problem on itunes. I thought i was computer smart but this apple tv thing makes me feel really stupid

AppleTV does not plays dv files.
It basically needs things to be in MP4 or h264 foramat:
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
Go to squared5.com, download MPEGStreamclip and use that to convert DV to h264, you might try handbrake too, though I can't remember if it handles dv.
Things that play in iTunes don't necessarily plly on AppleTV.

Problem renting movies with Apple TV

Having a problem renting movies using Apple TV with Comcast cable and Netgear gigabit wireless router. After selecting a movie to rent and clicking "rent" a message appears: "Accessing iTunes Store", after some delay a second message appears stating an inability to connect to iTunes store, try again later. This issue is intermittent. At any given time a movie can be rented and streamed, but more than 50% of the time, the rental fails.

We're not really sure as yet - there certainly seem to be no comments on subtitling as a feature.

How can I watch an Apple rented movie via Apple TV?

Continue to have a freezing problem with rented movies from Apple. It *****.

What I ended up doing was to back all the out of the choice sequence and the start the movie from the beginning again. We were able to watch one hour of the movie and then it froze again. After repeated efforts to get it to continue, we gave up and went to bed.
For the recoded, the Internet connection was fine. Netflix worked flawlessly. Only the Apple movie connection was dead.
How do I get my rental money back? I won't be able to finish watching within the required 24 hour period after having started it last night...
I thought this problem would go away after having the FIOS service installed. A 10+ Mgb speed stream should feed a movie in jig time. It's certainly helped with download times on software and Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo streaming. Not Apple, which seems not to know how to buffer.
Frustrated,
Mark
