HT204291 Movie won't display through Apple T

I've enabled AirPlay on my iPhone 4S and the movie is running on my phone. I can hear it on my tv speakers, but the Apple TV menu is what shows on my tv. How do I get the movie to display on the tv?

test if it's only that app whch does not transfer video because if it is then maybe it the app which block it apps have the right to do so
if does not display video when you leave the app still with airplay turned on then
1. you have a iphone4 not 4s and that does not support airplay mirror
2. you have a issue because you didn't install the latests version of ios for best compatability
3. you are not turnning on airplay mirror but just setting yoru iphone to use remote speakers

  • Quicktime movies won't play on Apple Website

    I formatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Last night and this morning I was watching the videos on http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#activecorners?sr=hotnews.rss, but tnight when I went back there, the movies won't play, nor will any other movies on the entire website. All I get is a Quicktime Icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7 installed, with Pro in the Utilities folder.

    After loading the AppleMPEG2.Component into the Quicktime folder in the Library, everything started working again. I'm not sure if that's what made it start working again though.

  • Itunes rental movie won't play on apple tv

    I'm trying to play an itunes rental movie via itunes on my Windows 8 computer through Apple TV.
    Upon trying to play the movie the computer says "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV".  An unknown error occurred (-41049)."
    The TV says "This movie is already being viewed on another Apple TV or computer...."
    The movie is NOT playing anywhere else.
    Any advice on how to fix this?

    My rental stopped about 10 minutes ago and I can't restart it.  Actually, I was just prompted to update Apple TV ... guess they rolled out an update that caused the issue?  Find out here soon ...

  • Purchased movie won't play on Apple TV

    I bought a movie via iTunes; downloaded on my MBP and uploaded it into my iPad - all is good - the movie plays fine. I also have an Apple TV 32GB (1st generation, software updated, connected via WiFi) - the movie shows up on the Apple TV under my My Movies, but the movie does not play. Play and Chapter Selection do not "work," though the Features section of the movie does.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    HD 720p.  Even First Gen Apple TV was HD - shouldn't be an issue?

  • Disney movie won't play on Apple TV through airplay from Iphone 4.  Any thoughts?

    It was working before, but now an error pops up saying something to the effec of "the Apple TV isn't authorized to play this content."  It was working before, but has since stopped.  Both the iPhone and Apple TV are up-to-date.  Strange thing is it plays them if I stream from iTunes.  I know that's probably the best way to do it, but we don't always have our laptop on.  Also, this was happening for the two Disney movies we have (and only 2 movies we have, period) - Beauty and the Beast and Tangled.
    Thanks.

    I hace the same issue with Cars 2. Haven't been able to figure out what's wrong.

    When I upload it to my server it also does not display. you
    just see the links and it does not loadMovie.
    on(press)
    loadMovie("movie1.swf",1)

  • Rented movie won't play on apple tv

    How do I get a refund for a rented movie that will not play properly?

    I just experienced this for the first time (after many successful rentals) last night. I rented a movie on my Apple TV 3 and pressed Play when I was prompted. For the first time ever, the movie did not start properly. It only displayed a still image while the audio played normally. I was able to scan through chapters, but still the image was frozen and only the audio played. After searching through forums, I was forced to take matters into my own hands.
    I had noticed the movie was rented at 1080p resolution. I knew that my HDTV was only capable of 720p. So I put 2-and-2 together and thought that maybe it was a resolution issue; that somehow, iTunes did not recognize my resolution and downsample properly so that I was able to view it. Sure enough, I went to my Apple TV and went to:
    Settings / iTunes Store / Video Resolution
    Then I selected 720p. It was currently selected at 1080p. Sure enough, I reloaded the rental movie and all worked as usual!

  • How to create a 'parallel' extended display through Apple TV Airplay

    Dear all,
    I'm a relatively new Mac user and have not been able to find an answer to my question by looking up key words in Google or here, so apologies if this has been answered before.
    Basically, I would like to know how I can project a video file or a film/TV series I am watching (for example, a video playing in VLC or a film streaming from my subscription to Amazon Prime Instant Video website, open in a browser) onto my Toshiba TV, via Apple TV airplay - whilst still being able to work on a separate window/desktop on my MacBook Air.
    As a PC user slowly converting to Mac, I know how to do this on a PC by using the Windows logo key +P shortcut, choosing 'Extend' instead of 'Duplicate' and then dragging whatever video source I want to watch into the extended desktop screen being projected on my TV. I've tried doing this on the Mac by
    using the multiple desktops in Mission Control (with no success, as Airplay obviously just mirrors what I'm doing on my screen onto the TV, i.e. switching from desktop to desktop as I do on the computer), or
    by clicking 'Extend Desktop' instead of the automatic 'Mirror Built-in Display' on the Airplay icon on the menu bar and then dragging the browser into the extended display on the TV and hitting the 'Full screen' button of the video itself. However, as soon as I do this and click or type anything on my computer desktop, the video automatically minimizes and all I'm left with on the TV display is the browser with the initial smaller version of the film playing within it. In the 'View' tab, I've tried switching Firefox/Safari to 'Full screen' before making the video 'Full screen' too, but again, as soon as I touch anything back on my Mac desktop it minimizes. I've noticed Chrome has an 'Enter Presentation Mode' option available in the 'View' tab, which leaves the video playing full screen, but with a grey bar at the top (which is visually annoying, but still closer to what I'm looking for). Similarly, if I try to drag a video file playing in VLC, as soon as I hit the full screen button, the desktop I'm using on the Mac goes black even though I can still move the cursor on it.
    I'm clearly missing a step somewhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a prolific multitasker!

    Hi _MicMacs_,
    It sounds like you've been on the right track in trying to sort out this issue. I'm a bit unclear on what you are describing when you say it works initially, but then immediately reverts when you click back on something in your primary display. You may want to try sizing the window to the display instead of using the full screen option (two opposing diagonal arrows), though this will leave the window border around the screen. For a bit more background on working with multiple displays in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

  • MP4 won't display on apple TV - Sound is working but no pictures

    I have converted some DVD's using Handbrake Software so I can watch them on Apple TV (using Handbrake's 'normal' default output settings).
    After converting them I added the files to itunes. When I play these files on the Macbook they are great - all good.
    When I then Synced with Apple TV the files are shown on the TV under the 'movies' menu with the names, duration and a photo of the film.
    But when I play them on Apple TV I only hear the sound - There is no pictures.
    Apple TV is connected with HDMI cable.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen? All responses welcome...
    Cheers in advance!

  • Computer display through apple tv

    can i connect my computer to my apple tv, using it to display content from my computer on my tv? I have a macbook from 2010 & iphone4s

    Mirroring would technically work but you would have to be at the computer to control the music, shows or movies you are watching.  It would be much easier to use the ATV menus to do so.  Enable Home Sharing in iTunes and then enter the home sharing password in ATV.  You will then be able to see all your iTunes content under the Computers Icon on ATV.

  • What is the best set up (hardware and/or software) to store and access movies and music purchased through apple tv without using the computers storage space

    I have run out of space on my imac desktop, which only has 500GB of storage, due to the movies, music, etc. that have been purchased through iTunes and Apple TV.  I do not want to delete the purchases but need to free up space on my computer.  I am looking for the best scenario for moving the media to another source and still have access the media from Apple TV and possibly from ipads, macbooks, ps3, etc. within my house.  I have been looking at upgrading the Time Capsule to a larger capicity one and/or having a backup hard drive to the time capsule.  I would like to know what other people are doing to have these features without filling up their computer's hard drive.  Please advise.  If a media server other than the computer is needed please explain.  Thanks for your help.

    Can the time capsule be set up to back up both the computer and the external hard drive, therefore creating a second copy of both? 
    Can the external hard drive be set up to store all the media which can then be accessed by apple tv and other devises as if the media was on the computer OR will the media have to moved back to the computer's hard drive in order to be viewed on other devises?  Another way to look at this is can you set up iTunes to find the media stored on the external hard drive and access it without moving the media back to the computer?
    I realize this must be a problem for many people utilizing iTunes and Apple TV to purchase and view movies and listen to music but the solution does not appear to be easily determined.  I'm sure the first solution would be to just buy a computer with a larger hard drive but that is not the most economical.

  • Faxes won't send through Apple USB modem

    I'm trying to use PageSender to send faxes via my Apple USB external modem. Every time I try to send a fax, I get an error message that says my modem is in use. The tech people say that my external modem is supposed to show up in the Printer Setup Utility and in the Print and Fax preferences, but it doesn't appear either place. They're puzzled. Before I installed PageSender, I was trying to send a fax using the OS X built-in fax capability, but I kept getting a message about a software error and the faxes would be put on a 5-minute hold for sending later, when the same thing would occur again. Anybody got an idea about what's happening? Are there updated drivers or anything else to update?

    I too am trying to use pagesender. I can fax from the server, but not from client imacs. Using apple usb modem as well. The faxes won't go over to pagesender- just hangs in the printer que on the client computer. All computers can see one another on the wired network and a DIR-130 router. We share a network printer with no problems.
    Pagesender support has been helpful, but they don't offer live support. If anyone knows an apple consultant who can walk me through the process on the phone I would be interested.
    Thanks

  • ITunes rented movie won't play on Apple TV

    Hi
    I have rented two movies on iTunes on my Mac of which neither will play on my Apple TV. I can see the movies on Apple TV but when I navigate to watch I get an error message saying that the movie is being watched on another Apple TV or computer and I should stop this first to watch it on the Apple TV.
    I know that it's not being played anywhere else. I tried using the iPad to play the film located on the Mac and I get an error saying Cannot Open!
    I have only been able to play one movie direct on the Mac as I deleted the other by mistake but the one payed fine and has started the rental period timing.
    I tried transferring the entire film to the iPad with syncing and it still won't play.
    The only place it will play s on the Mac.
    The two rentals are Orange Film To Go films if that makes a difference.
    Please help.

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

  • Movie won't download on apple tv

    We rented a movie on apple tv through the iTunes store and it started to download. We came back later and the time hadn't changed and it said we had 20 hours to watch the movie eventhough we hadn't started watching it. Then we started it later this evening and we got to :30 sec, then we paused it and tried to play it, but it said we had to redownload. Why did it do that? How do I fix it?

    Accessing other content, turning the device off etc will cause a reload as there is no accessible hard-drive (so it is only streaming)
