HT204370 cant view movie on Apple TV 1st gen that i purchased on 2nd gen apple tv

I purchased a movie on my second Gen Apple TV and when I try to watch it on my 1st Gen Apple TV I get a message that my apple tv is not authorized to play this content!!! Not good...!!!

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).

How do I view movies using apple tv that have been imported into iMovie?

I am trying to view movies using a second generation AppleTV that I imported into my computer from my video camera using iMovie. I tried importing them into iTunes after importing them with iMovie but it creates a second copy of the movie and I don't have room on my hard drive. Can I view them on my Apple TV without importing them into iTunes?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iMovie is an editing application, you import raw footage, edit it, export it and if you don't have a lot of room trash the original files. It is not intended to be used for finished movies.
Video footage for editing needs to be in a different format than it does for delivery, delivery formats (m4v etc) are highly compressed and take up considerabally less room than footage in an editing format.

How to restore movies loaded on my 1st Gen Apple TV back to the computer

I just pulled a major dumb move. I deleted all of my movies from my computer. I am not worried about my iTunes movies because I can restore those. I am talking about the 30 or so movies that I have converted from my DVD collection. Presently, they are still loaded onto my Apple TV (1st Gen). If I simply synch, will they reload to my Computer (Windows 7)?
HELP!

No. AppleTV was never intended as a storage device.
If you sync you will lose items not in iTunes from AppleTV too.
Always wise to backup media - less of an issue with iTunes purchases than it used to be, but even they can occasionally disappear from the store if they are no longer for sale.
(BTW discussing DVD conversion is not allowed by Apple even if you own those DVDs yourself and feel this is fair use - the laws vary around the world but Apple forum T&Cs make it best for you to avoid such discussions).

How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

Is there anyone who knows the cause of the problem?? its 3rd gen apple tv and i am using itunes on windows 7.

Hello there gagone,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
There are a few things that could be causing the issue you are seeing here. If you restart the device by unplugging the power from the back for 30 seconds, then I would try restarting with the device with the onscreen menu outlined in this article:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): How to restart your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
You may also need to troubleshoot your network connection with this article Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
Try restarting your Wi-Fi router or modem by turning it off and then on again.
Verify that you are selecting the correct network if you are in a location with multiple Wi-Fi networks.
Check the IP address that Apple TV is using. If it starts with 169.x.x.x, the router may not be configured properly.
If the router is using DHCP addressing, verify that the router is not limiting the number of devices that can connect through Wi-Fi.
If the router is using manual IP addressing, you will need to configure Apple TV with a manual IP address. You can do this by selecting your network on the Apple TV and choosing Configure IP.
Disconnect and rejoin your Wi-Fi network by selecting your network on the Apple TV and then choosing Forget Network. Rejoin your Wi-Fi network after it disconnects.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT204370 Problem viewing movie on computer

I purchased 2 movies on the iPad and they play great. When I downloaded to the Mac, I
can view chapters, extras, more, but when I click on Play, the movie will not play, but I
can hear the music. Any suggestions?

Cant view movies recorded on new iPhone iOS

updated iPhone 4S to latest version of iOS. Since then movies recorded on the iphone won't display on Quicktime Pro for Windows XP (black screen, video tracking needle moves normally, and sound plays back, but no video. . Removed QT Pro, then downloaded and reinstalled QT Pro from scratch on the Win XP pc. No success. Old movies recorded under previous iPhone iOS still play fine - only new movies have the video blackout. Same video files playback normally with opther applications on the Win XP pc (Div

Your topic is misleading. According to your post, you are not having issues viewing videos on your iPod. The problem is viewing the videos on your desktop using Quicktime. You will be better off posting in the QuickTime for Windows forum.

I have two Apple ID's. How do I move all the songs and videos that I bought using Apple ID "A" over to Apple ID "B". I plan to use Apple ID "B" from here on out. Thanks

You can't do this yourself; if desired, you can ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it, but they probably won't.

1st gen apple tv not showing all movies synced from iTunes.

I have 30 movies in iTunes library that I synced to my 1st gen Apple TV. I have viewed several of these movies in the past on the Apple TV but some are not coming up in the listings anymore. I go back to iTunes and still see that they are still stored/synced to the Apple TV. Why can't I see them listed anymore? (Can't see them under 'Watched' or 'Unwatched')

Hi clur,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Apple TV and the most recent iTunes 12 upgrade. If you continue to have issues with your 1st Gen Apple TV not showing up in iTunes, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

1st Gen Apple TV won't play iTunes purchased movie

I purchased a movie (not HD) on iTunes and cannot play it on my 1st gen Apple TV. My older movies are still there to be viewed. Any thoughts?

Does it appear in the movie list on the AppleTV1 but won't play? Does it give an error?
Try purchasing something on AppleTV1 direct - check in iTunes you may find a free episode of a TV Show or similar. I had an issue last year with new content until I purchased something else on AppleTV - i assumed it was some kind of authorisation getting updated.

Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up Apple TV(1st Gen)

So frustrated. Movies in my iMac's iTunes do not show up on my Apple TV(1st Gen) in the Shared Movie area. I've done the Media Type fix to "movie." I've re-started and re-booted and changed the Apple TV from ethernet to wireless and re-connected iTunes. Renamed the library. Everything's up to date. Grrr.

I have now restored Factory Settings on the Apple TV. Looked promising until iTunes hangs everytime I tried to enter the podcast page of the sync options. And I get errors that my newest movies, created in Final Cut Pro X with the Share with 720p Apple Devices export settings are not compatible with Apple TV.
Unbelievable.

Movie content will not sync with Apple TV (1st Gen)

I have some iTunes purchased movies which refuse to be sync'd with my Apple TV (1st Gen). Storage for the ATV is external using FireCore (latest release), and I have added content since this issue began, but the same movies still will not sync.
I have tried syncing as 'Playlists' - my preferred, also ticking the 'boxes' for these items within the 'Movie List' on iTunes, finally selecting 'All Movies' - none work.
My iTunes Library lists 98 items. Apple TV lists 90 items. Both include iTunes Extras
This question/problem is also listed (incorrectly) under Apple TV and Photo's

I am also experiencing major sync issues with my recently purchased Apple TV which will NOT transfer any content (purchased or otherwise) over from my iMac (27" 2.66 GHz Intel i5 Core). I am running iTunes 9.03, and Apple TV OS 3.02.
All content plays on my Apple TV fine and I've had no trouble transferring purchased TV shows back to the iMac.
I was on the phone with Apple support for well over an hour about this yesterday: failed solutions included factory restores and direct iMac-ATV Ethernet connection. They decided that the Apple TV might be defective, so it was returned and exchanged. New Apple TV=same problem.
Incidentally, the first Apple TV was initially synced with a Windows XP machine running iTunes 9.01. No problems with syncing content from the PC.
I spoke with Apple support again this morning: we tried 2 factory restores, but could not get any content to sync from the iMac to ATV.
I also tried to sync from an older iMac G3 (OS X 10.4 and iTunes 9.03) with the same unsuccessful result.
Still waiting for Apple support to call back with more ideas. In the meantime, I've synced the ATV back to iTunes 9.01 running on Windows XP without any problems.
Very frustrating: there must be a major ATV sync issue that affects Macs running iTunes 9.03. I hope that Apple will address the problem and offer a fix.

How do I get a movie purchased on my 3rd gen Apple TV to play on my 1st gen Apple TV?

I purchased and watched a move on my 3rd gen Apple TV a few weeks ago. Now I want to watch it in another room where I have an older HD based Apple TV (1st gen I think). When I look in iTunes on my computer, I can see that it's listed as being available in my account in the cloud. I can't see it from my older Apple TV. I don't want to have to keep this on my computer given it's size (5GB), so the solution of downloading to my PC and syncing isn't too attractive.

AppleTV 1 is not aware of movies in the cloud so your only option to get the movie onto there is to download the HD version to iTunes and sync or buy it again direct on AppleTV.
You may be able to do a manual sync, then delete from iTunes but next time you sync if the item is not in itunes it will likely go from ATV1.
Remember ATV1 will not play the 1080p HD version as it maxes out for video decoding with teh 720p ones even thouigh it can be set up for 1080p upscaled output.
Have you considered keeping larger items on an external drive ? You can mix and match locations for media in various ways eg with smaller music files on the main hard drive (eg laptop) and larger video files on an external only available for playback or syncing when plugged in.

Can't move rented movie from macbook pro to apple tv (1st gen)

any advice? i rented two movies (non HD as far as i can tell) from my macbook and can't seem to get it over to my 1st gen apple tv. ive tried dragging and dropping, no luck.
thanks

You don't sync or drag and drop rentals to the tv, you need to move them.
Transferring rentals will look something like this

Can't move rented movie from itunes to Apple TV (1st gen)

I have rented a movie through iTunes but cannot transfer this to my Apple TV (1st gen). I have tried dragging and dropping the movie into the Apple TV device section on iTunes but it won't allow me to do this. I have tried syncing and this has made no difference. No rental section appears on the Apple TV either. Can anyone suggest what else I should try? I have an Australian iTunes account.

Steve: I know this does not solve your current problem, as it is a strange one, but wht not report the problem download to the itunes store, get a credit then rent it again on your ATV. It might be a slower dl but at least you do not have to wait for a sync as the movie will be erased after you watch it anyway.
Good luck
