I-tv slow when watching movies from i-tunes

How come movies I want to see from i-tunes has to be almost fully downloaded before i can start see the movie. I do not have same problems when i watch netflex..

Netflix will adapt to the connection, iTunes content is at a fixed rate and will need to load a portion before playback begins. The time it takes is dependent on your network.

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

Sound not working when watching movies from MacBook Pro 15'' in full screen

after a recent iTunes upgrade the sound will not work when I watch a movie or anything else in iTunes on my Thunderbold Display. I have the 15'' retina MacBook Pro connected to the display and it used to work flawlesly. has anyone had the same problem?

When I upgraded the volume control in iTunes (at the top) defaulted to off (all the way left) so no sound. I just slid the slider all the way to the right. Also be sure display audio is set in the preferences, sound menu

Slow when watching movie trailers

Hi there
I encounter a very annoying problem. When I'm watching a trailer using Front Row, it won't play without stopping once or even twice. It stalls and then a blue progress bar comes up at the bottom of the screen, and it seems to download the trailer again...
What's the problem with the way trailers are being played within Front Row ? Maybe Apple might give us more bandwidth ?

I Alllllmost wrote a nasty-gram to Apple a little while ago but after seeing all of the posts here in this, I backed down. I totally miss the old FR and the way it played trailers... and I'm a trailer junkie! While watching the new CJ4 trailer, it paused as the others do and really riled me up! Anyway, do you guys think we'll see a chage any time soon? My upgrade to 10.5.2 didn't fix didley!

Apple TV locks up when watching movies from HD

I have an Apple Tv that is very laggie. I tested Apple TV on a whole different house/network and it ran fine so it's either my desktop, external HD or router. Surprising as my router and HD are the best you can buy and the computer was just wiped clean. Nowhere near other home networks causing conflicts and movies run fine on my other AppleTV setup.
How do I troubleshoot?

The computer doesn't really have to do all that much to stream movies to the Apple TV, I've streamed HD movies before from an old iMac with a 450 MHz processor, I doubt it would be the comuter per se, but I suppose it might be something on the computer.
It could be router settings but I barely know everything my router does so I might not be too much help there.
You could move an HD movie to the computer to confirm/eliminate the external drive.
You could connect via ethernet to confirm/eliminate the network.

HT201335 when i watch movies from the web with airplay on my apple tv stop every 2 minuts

when i watch movies from the web with airplay on my apple tv stop every 2 minuts

I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing. Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing. If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
Not the exact same issue, but very similar. Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too!

HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

Open iTunes, click on "Movies" in the upper left corner (where it probably says "Music" when you open iTunes), and double click the movie you wish to see.

Another Apple TV now slow to download movies from iTunes store.

G'Day all there is a lot of conversation from people experiencing poor download speed when renting movies from the apple iTunes store using the Apple TV (ATV) interface but no solutions I can find yet so sorry to bring it up again. I have a Gen 2 ATV on wireless (Apple time capsule modem router) which worked very well up until several months ago but now can take hours to stream a SD movie when before it took minutes. However using the same ATV to view long uTube video's they seem to work fine ie play straight away yes they are smaller over all but still play straight up rather than initial buffer like the movies, the signal strength is high the updates are all done and I've also done resets I can download the same movie to my either of Mac's beside the ATV in minutes then stream it to the ATV and watch on on my TV without a problem and also do it from anywhere else in the house so dont think using a direct network cable will help to far anyway. I am in Australia and have a 12/1mbps fibre optic connection plan and speed tests to anywhere say the same. I am using and have always used the automatic DNS setting however some net topics say changing it may help others indicate dont.

We also are attempting to download an iTunes (TV show in our case) and we also are not able to do so tonight. We've done it a lot in times past and it normally takes seconds to a few minutes at most to be able to start playing the show/movie. But something has been wrong the past couple days (we're still trying to learn what's going on) and we see messages like it's going to take 44 hours and 10 minutes before we can start playing. Obviously, that's not useable. My guess is iTunes is swamped or having some server issues here at the holidays??? We're also seeing some strange, sporadic network issues which we never have here at our home. So that might be complicating the issue.
But the answer to your question is that under normal circumstances and without the system being overwhelmed, it will typically only take a few seconds to maybe a very few minutes before enough of the movie downloads so you can begin watching it. And from that point, you will be able to watch all ther rest of it as it will continue to download while you watch the first part...

When watching movie on ATP2 the display of computer never sleeps

When watching movies on ATV2 the display of computer will not go to sleep. After fiddling with setting both on computer as well as ATV2 the problem still persists. This coincidentally happened after lastest upgrade never had the problem with last firmware. Is anybody having the same problems?.

when the computer fall asleep it power down it's harddisk and it's netcard
so you would likely be more bothered if it did fall asleep because then you're atv2 would
lose the access to the media if you play media from your shared itune lib

Why does watching movies from iCloud fill up storage? And why do I have to reset to clean storage?

i watch movies from iCloud. some how it fills up my storage,but I can't clear it without resetting. What am I doing wrong?

If you are talking about the movies that have the cloud icon next to them, you are not actually streaming them. You are downloading them from the cloud. If you completely download the movie, then you will be able to delete them as John Galt is describing above.
This isn't made every clear by Apple, IMO. Most people assume that they are streaming, but when you tap the cloud icon, you start downloading the movie and it can't be deleted until it is fully downloaded. I have been down this road a few times myself.

Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.
