I wish you could play iTunes U content directly on Apple TV

First of all, I think the Apple TV is great and a steal at $99.  But, I really, really wish there was a convenient way to play iTunes U content directly on aTV.  From what I can figure out, I have to download the content to my Mac, make my Mac's iTunes content on AppleTV, then access it that way.  Why can't I log in to my iCloud account on aTV and play whatever iTunes U video I want as a streaming video?  I don't want to have my Mac be unavailable when I'm watching a course I'm using my Mac for the instruction and watching a video on a laptop isn't my idea of something that is desirable.  I'd rather watch the video on my TV and follow along with the examples on my Mac.

Whinston,
I live in Azerbaijan. Recently I bought apple tv in New York. When I come back to my country tried to rent movies from my country but couldn't find my country name on apple tv menu, so there is a problem I don't know how to fix it. is there have another way to take a rent movies?

  • How do I play iTunes LP content on Apple TV 2nd gen?

    I've just upgraded my Apple TV 2nd gen, and iTunes on my Mac.
    I can't figure it out. Is it possible to play iTunes LP content ("CDs extras") on Apple TV?

    No, only AppleTV 1 did that and until recently ony AppleTV 1 did iTunes Extras.
    iTunes Extras have just been added so maybe hope for itunes LP, though I gather Extras is streaming only and old itunes downloaded Extras may (I haven't tested yet) be incompatible.

  • Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my music on Apple TV

    Where is iTunes Match content stored on apple TV? I recently joined itunes match and it is working on my ios devices, but I can't find my uploaded music on Apple TV

    It isn't actually stored anywhere, it needs to be downloaded from the internet before any content can be played.
    iTunes Match content is accessed through the 'Music' icon on the main screen though, it needs turning on though in settings first.

  • HT4352 can you synch two iTunes library accounts to 1 apple TV?

    can you synch two iTunes library accounts to 1 apple TV?

    Yes, you will need to turn on "Home Sharing" in each iTunes account and make sure they are listed under the same Apple ID. I have mine set up this way > My iMac, in iTunes "Home Sharing" turned on with my Apple ID, my wife's 17" MBP, in iTunes "home Sharing" turned on with my Apple ID. (not her's) My Apple TV is setup with my Apple ID and under the "Computer" tab if both Macs have their iTunes open I can see both libraries .

  • Play iTunes purchased content without internet connection on Apple TV

    I have this issue, If I am not connected to the internet, I can play my purchased content into iTunes on my Mac, but I cannot play it on my apple TV. as soon as I try that it attempts to connect to the internet and eventually it tells me the device is not authorized to play content. Now the apple TV is authorized to play the content just fine when I have internet, but for some reason it doesn't when I am not connected to the internet. Again this is content shared through Home sharing from my iTunes library.
    As well I have only tried it with movies and music that I have purchased, not with rented content. So It would only make sense for me to be able to play my purchased content from my iTunes library regardless wether or not I am connected to the internet.
    Any ideas?

    Sep 11 2014: No one replied to this (or posted a response to any of the similar queries) and I would like to have had this information earlier this week so I am posting for all future inquiries.
    History: Internet not available for two days (switching providers). I tried to stream from my MacBook Pro through appleTV to my home television; and I received a "not authorized" error message for any iTunes PURCHASED content.  Also tried to AirPlay from the laptop to the TV and content is not viewable.  Spoke with the always helpful and amenable apple support tech and...
    You CANNOT stream from/through appleTV or airplay from your computer to a home TV (or any unauthorizable device) without an internet connection.  Period. 
    Apple has determined that it's okay to view iTunes-purchased content on your 17" laptop or 21.5" iMac or iPad or iPhone or any device not connected to the internet (e.g. on a plane, etc.) BUT viewing on a 21.5" 3rd party television would be a problem.  It does not make sense of course.  And is especially vexing since the old appleTV also STORED content which meant you could watch without an internet connection.  And I trust that apple will quickly resolve this software/programming "problem" since some day the internet will crash for long enough for apple to be bombarded with a LOT of very angry customers who will not understand why they cannot play the movies they purchased on their home televisions.  apple, what are you trying to prevent?  I can take my laptop to a local bar and screen RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK on the bar's 105" monitor (as long as I can connect to the internet) but I cannot watch the film at home?

  • How do I play iTunes purchased content on a non-IOS Tablet?

    I am planning on leaving the IOS ecosystem in favor of another. How do I play/move content that, I purchased thru iTunes and rightfully own, to these devices?
    Thanks in advance...

    Many non-Apple devices offer simple drag & drop methods for adding content or will come with their own syncing software. You should be fine to add any DRM-free content to them, assuming they support the file format, or you can transcode where the format isn't supported and the original is DRM-free. If you have any DRM protected content you will be limited to playing that on iTunes or an Apple device, as per the terms & conditions of the purchase.

  • Wish you could tap the Shift key to set next key press in caps on iMac

    I really wish in Mac OS that you could 'tap' the Shift key to set up the next key press in capitals.  In Lion, on my iMac desktop, the present arrangement requires you to hold down the Shift key while hitting the letter you want to capitalise, as has been the case since time began.  On my lovely iPad2, you just tap the shift key once and the next keypress is in caps - SIMPLE and efficient.  I have been yearning for this simple change to the OS since way before the iPad came along, but now you can use it in iOS5 and NOT in Lion, it's really frustrating.  i find i am now failing time after time to select caps in Lion...
    Please, oh wise ones at Apple: take a few minutes out from whatever fresh ramification of iCloud you are concocting and giVe uS bETter cAps.

    There is this, but it might do more than you want:

  • How Can I play iTunes on my HDTV without Apple TV?

    I am looking for an affordable method of playing iTunes on my big screen HDTV. In other words, I just want to mirror whatever is on my iMac screen on my HDTV. So I want ALL the iTunes features like the visualizer, randomizer, etc. to work without a hitch. Some people were saying they can't get the visualizer to work smoothly. And of course I want quality audio so I can utilize the soundbar on my TV to play MP3s.
    I do not own an Apple TV device but I own a Google TV device called the Vizio Co-Star.
    I was not able to find a Google app to simply mirror what's on my iMac onto my TV screen.
    I reseached and found that there are two apps I can purchase -  AirParrot and Reflector. Is this the best way of achieving what I want to do? Do I purchase both of them on my mac or do I need to purchase one of these and install on my Vizio Co-Star?
    Is there a better or simpler method? I'm up for suggestions.
    Thank you!

    It sounds as if you have an iMac that is over five years old, and therefore has a mini-display (instead of Thunderbolt, as found on newer iMacs) port.
    Have you considered a mini-display to HDMI cable connection?  Here is one (from the U.S. store):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k?fnode=51
    I am certain a Thunderbolt port would transmit audio as well as video.  I think the mini-display port may transmit audio, but I'm not 100% certain.

  • Wish you could search within a podcast page.

    Here's my suggestion for Apple: Be able to search within a podcast page on the iTunes Store. So if I'm on a podcast page and I wanted to find that episode that talked about the XYZ Widget, I could search for it only in that particular podcast.

    Hmmm, you're right. I always assumed that searches went through the entire listing of episodes of a podcast. But it looks like it only searches the titles and descriptions. Maybe Apple should have an "advanced" option for searching of podcasts episodes titles and descriptions. Mike

  • Why is iTunes 11 Not Consistently Playing iTunes bought Content (Hobbit)

    Yesterday, I purchased the soundtrack "Dark Knight Rises".
    I watched it down load. I clicked the new download button and watched it all download.
    The only item that showed up inside of iTunes 11 was the pdf booklet.
    It was on the file system, but not in iTunes 11.
    I went to the iTune Store "Purchased" section and the button for the album indicated "Download" NOT "Downloaded"
    I clicked "Download" and everything seemed to be fine.
    Today, I purchased the soundtrack "The Hobbt: Unexp...".
    Again, I watched this album download in its entirety.
    Absolutely, nothing shows up.
    I decided to try something different.
    I shutdown iTunes 11 and restarted.
    Like removing the ring from Bilbo's finger it appears in its entirety, and again like the ring it makes iTunes 11 behave badly in the following situations
    Does NOT "play or add to up next" the complete album in my "Recently Added" smart playlist
    Does NOT "add to up next" the complete album when displayed in the search box and "Albums, Songs, Artist, Generes" are selected
    Does NOT appear as a found album in iTunes 11 when the return key is entered in the search box and "Albums, Songs, Artist, Generes" is selected
    Does play complete album and "add to up next" from the "Purchased" playlist
    Does play songs from the album when selected individually
    Shows up as "Downloaded" in the iTunes store "Purchased" section

  • Compared to google chrome, when using firefox with fb, it is choppy and so slow to load new tabs and general info. Google is by far superior wish you could make ff the equal as I use both simultaneously

    I use google chrome and firefox at the same time, logged on to different accounts in fb, google chrome functions smoothly, opening new windows or tabs or even just loading is quicker, firefox fills like it is working to hard, like pulling teeth, new tabs are slow to open, new windows are slower, just loading fb is slower, the whole experience is extremely choppy. Even when just using firefox alone, it is extremely choppy, not really sure how to explain it. It used to be the equivalent to goggle chrome and my browser of choice.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
