how can i watch something i've downloaded on Apple tv on my laptop?

If it's a purchase then you would need to download it to your laptop by visiting the iTunes store - purchased (under quick links).
If it's a rental it will only be viewable on the Apple TV.

Are you using mirroring or using airplay within iTunes? If you are truly mirroring then you can view anything that is displayed on your computer through Apple Tv
Or provide more info on your issue

How can I watch the Super Bowl on my Apple TV

How can I watch the Super Bowl on my Apple TV?

Last year, I had the Super Bowl streaming online to my macbook pro, and via AirPlay I streamed it to my Apple TV. I plan to do the same thing this year, except using my new iMac. Just need to find a website that is going to be streaming it. Foxsportsgo.com has said they will be streaming and will not required verification of an eligable paid cable/satalite subscription to watch the Super Bowl only. So crossing fingers that it works cause I don't get regular antenna signal where I live, nor do I pay for cable/satalite services.

You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

How can i watch video on IPAD screen with Apple TV?

i have apple tv and itune libary on the same network.
i am wondering if i can watch movies stored in the libary on the ipad screen without turning on the tv or the computer. i have no problem watch the movies on TV thru apple tv. thanks.

If your computer is turned off, the iTunes library is no longer available to the iPad or the Apple TV. You can connect the iPad to the computer and use iTunes to sync your library to the iPad; this copies your music and movies to the iPad, and you can play them whenever and wherever you wish.
If your iPad does not have enough memory to store all your movies, use the "Selected movies only" option and check off the movies you want to copy; the rest will not be copied.

How can I watch my iPad apps on my Apple TV?

I bought an exercise app I would like to watch on my Apple TV, my iPad is an iPad air.

You can't "Watch an App" on Apple TV.
If you purchased a video, then that will play on the Apple TV.
Actually that is not entirely correct. With Airplay Mirroring you can watch anything on your iPad on a Tv connected to an Apple TV. (Apple Tv's have no screen, so you can't technically watch anything on them)
You can mirror your iPads screen so anything on it will show up on your TV screen.
iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring

HT202157 HOW CAN I WATCH MY MAC AIR IN MY APPLE TV

Hi someone can help I want to watch my browser for my mac air to my tv. Can I use my apple tv (3rd)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

How can i watch a rented movie in my apple tv?

I rented a movie in iTunes and want to watch it in my apple TV. I try to "drag" the movie to the apple TV under Devices, and can't seem to do it. When I go to my shared movies in apple TV the rental is not there. Does anyone know what I need to do?

I assume you are using the Apple TV 1 (silver/grey).
The rental needs to be transferred to the Apple TV. It sounds as though you have paired a secondary (streaming only) library only and you need a primary library to transfer content.

How can I remove something from my iTunes download list permanently?

Same as title: how can I remove something from my download list FOREVA! Why would I want to do this? Because it's a piece of poo free sampler from Best Buy that is effing huge, and terrible and I don't want it, ever (it's been stuck to my list since 08, and it must die). Every time I buy something I have to remember to go and remove that from my list, otherwise iTunes gets caught up downloading that thing, which is many times larger than any video/cd/app that I have ever downloaded on iTunes before. It wouldn't be as much an issue if I had a good ISP but I don't, so any non-apple employee people giving some smarmy "get better internets" advice need not apply.

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.

Downloading Movie. Can I watch something else?

I have a new Apple TV 2 and have just rented my first movie. It is taking a long time to download. Can I watch something else while the download continues? I would like to watch something from Netflix.
Thanks.

AppleTV2 downloads rentals to it's solid state memory which is about 8GB split between various tasks (eg photos for streaming, movie rental, buffering local conetnt etc).
The trouble is there's no clear idea of how this memory is managed though from my experience and other reports it seems that a download is not necessarily 'protected' from being wiped by other actions.
I rented a small SD movie of about 1GB - watched it through, then next morning a relative who'd fallen asleep decided to watch again (well within the view period). The movie unfortunately had to be downloaded again from scratch, as something as simple as playing a few audio tracks seemed to have flushed it from memory. Maybe it wipes after a full view anyway, but this seems daft as to rewatch within the view period you end up wasting your bandwidth and Apple's which makes little sense.
So, while you could certainly watch something from Netflix i would not be surprised if that then forced a redownload of the rental.

How can you watch a macbok pro on a tv

How can you watch a macbook pro on a tv? I have the right cable but it does not show anything from itunes.

I am assuming you have a mini-displayport/thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and of course a HDMI cable.
Set the TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to.
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking detect displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your cables and make sure the mini-displayport plug is pushed firmly in. Mini-displayport plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.
You may have to play with the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.
