HT3819 can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?

can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?

That depends on where the movie is.
If it is on a computer, it must be in iTunes to be able to stream to the ATV.
If it is from an online streaming service, then it does not need to be in iTunes on the computer.

Can I use Apple TV on a regular TV that is not HD?

I have a TV that is an JVC tv i bought back in 2002. Works very good still. IT its a regular old tube TV
i was reading the requirements for Apple TV and its says u need a HDMI tv etc
Would there be anyway I can use Apple TV on my old set ? any way to wire things differently?
or different set up etc?
thanks

Yes it needs an HDTV. There is no guarantee with other setups. Even if it did work you wouldn't be able to play HDCP content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix etc) and have trouble with resolution/aspect ratio.

How do i watch a movie that is not in itunes canada store?

I have found the movie I want to watch, but it is not available in the canada store, only the US one, is there a way I can watch it?

No, not without moving to the US and changing your store country.
The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

The problem is the tech dinosaur "DVD" is still the bread and butter money maker for them. Streaming is getting better but greed is keeping it from blooming. NetFlix had the price increase because the cost to stream in this case from STARS was ridicoulus. Streaming content in general is not very good from neither NetFlix nor Amazon prime.
Looking at NetFlix "New Arrivals" right now.
OMG!
Ironclad
Lodes Kitchen
The Flinstones
Saw III
Starz Play is a little better;
Toy Story 3
Secretariat
Weird Sciecnce
Father Of The Bride.
But Starz play is going bye bye. NetFlix got a little boost by signing a deal with Dreamworks, but that is still 2 years away. I really see DVD rentals hanging on for at least 5 more years at current levels. In general I am very happy with my AppleTV, I am not happy with the issues it so frequently has with NetFlix, and only wish it had more selections for streaming.
Maybe Oct 4 we get an announcment.

HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content. I no longer can.

There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

HT202213 can I use home sharing to watch a movie rented on my apple tv?

I have started a rented movie on my apple tv. I would like to watch the rest from my mac using itunes can I do this?

You can't - from the HT1657 page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

How can I connect Apple tv to a digital projector that does not have an HDMI connection?

I work in an elementary school library where we have 6 macs and 11 iPads. I want to be able to share the output of each of these machines with Apple TV on a digital projector which does not have HDMI capability. How can I do this? I had been using an app called Refector with limited success.

Open a program and drag the window over to the tv. You are using extended display mode.

How do I watch rented movies that I downloaded to iTunes on a 2G Apple TV?

I purchased and downloaded 2 movies to my iTunes on my MacBook. I am able to transfer them to my 1st generation Apple TV's or my iPad or iPhone. But, when I try and figure out how to watch on my 2nd Generation Apple TV I am having no luck. Is it not possible once you have downloaded the movie?

It is wierd that Apple wants you to use iTunes for everything regarding content on our iDevices but then they add a Video App to the iPhone, iPad and we are just supposed to understand after years of training to use iTunes that our purchased videos are here and not in iTunes.
I initially assumed that the Video App was for watching videos I shot using my camera app. But noooo!!, They are in the Camera Roll.

How Can I use Apple TV with my iPad Movies (AV Player HD App)

I have just set up an Apple TV and all is fine, except I do not seem to be able to play the movies I have on my iPad that I in the AV Player HD App.(a great app BTW).
I do not put my movies into iTunes any more as the App is perfect for watching movies on my iPad, but I want to see them on my TV, so I went and purchased the Apple TV. The Apple store guy said I would have no problems watching movies on the Apple TV from my iPad.
So is there a trick to this or am I missing something here ?
What do I need to do to overcome this glitch, or is it an Apple trick to make me convert all my movies to iTunes.
Also I have many movies on my external HD. So how to I get the Apple TV to play them ?

For Airplay, ensure all your software is up to date, restart all your devices as necessary, the Airplay icon should appear in the playback controller.
For content on your external HD, convert it to an Apple TV compatible format and add it to iTunes.

Can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

Essentially no. Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

Can you use Apple TV to run Ap Players on your TV

I use the comcast xfinity player and the ABC player on my to watch on-line content. I also access their respective web site directly from the Mac desktop to watch contents on-line as I cant run them through on my HDMI cabapable TV as my PS3 has an incompatable operating system with the flash player to view those applications or web content on-line,
Can I use Apple TV to run either the Aps through my TV or to directly access content from on-line sites? (and yes, I know I can hook my mac to my tv directly via an HDMI cable, but it wont work with my stereo system and the audio is substandard)

No, the copyright holders have too many restrictions on how you are allowed to distribut content. So you can not stream copyrighted content over AirPlay, and ATV does not support flash. You can only watch content on ATV that there is an app for on ATV. i.e Netflix, Hulu, MBA, etc. etc. etc. Sorry.
