If I buy a movie on Apple TV can I transfer it onto a hard drive and also can I sync it to download on my computer?

I want to start buying movies directly off apple tv but want to be sure I can download them to my Mac,Ipad, or Ipod. Also can I move the movies to a hard drive so I know I won't lose them if something happened to the unit. Any help is appreciated...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To the best of my knowledge you cannot currently buy movies via the Apple TV 2. You certainly can't here in the UK, where rental is the only option for all available content.
It's my understanding that US customers can purchase TV shows, but I don't believe they can currently purchase movies

  • I have a 2007 20" iMac. Can I get a solid state hard drive installed?  Can the Apple store do it?  How long?  What cost?

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

    Just use the archive utility on the disk page of the airport utility manual setup..

  • I'm trying to put movies onto my hard  drive but i can't put the files with the same name onto the hard drive , finder won't let me change the name

    I'm trying to put movies onto my hard  drive but i can't put the files with the same name onto the hard drive , finder won't let me change the name. What am i doing wrong?

    Make a new folder and put them in that different folder. Then the names can be the same as others already on your drive.

  • How can I move the photos I have in iPhoto to an external hard drive and use that as my library?

    I bought a new Mac Pro.  My old computers main drive is so bloated that I need to reduce it's size.  I want to move my photos, music and movies to an external hard drive and have iPhoto, iTunes, and iMove access them there.
    How do I do that so it work?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    There are similar options for iMovie and iTunes, but best to check their forums for details.
    Regards

  • I rented a movie on iTunes and it now has filled my hard drive and I can't get it off. Something is wrong and I need a solution before I try to reinstall the Mac OS to reformat

    I rented a movie on iTunes and it now has filled my hard drive and has taken up all my harddrive space.....How can I remove the after math of the rented movie and fix this problem..?  Oddly enough it does show the startup drive is not full.

    In iTunes select the movie and hit Delete. Follow the prompts and then empty the trash.

  • How do I move just my movies folder (not the entire iTunes library) to an external hard drive and still be able to watch movies?

    My movies library is getting frighteningly large, and I want to move it (not the entire library) to an external HD, and still be able to watch the movies (when the HD is connectec). How would I do that?

    It's not a feature of iTunes but can be done using various work-arounds.
    Small hard drive? Split your iTunes library across multiple volumes - http://www.macyourself.com/2009/04/24/small-hard-drive-split-your-itunes-library -across-multiple-volumes/  - copying media folders to external, then deleting from internal, then adding again.
    Splitting & Managing Your iTunes Library - http://machintsandtips.com/i-j-k/itunes/splitting-managing-your-itunes-library/ - using option+drag to override iTunes from copying file to your default media folder.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • I am having difficulty getting to grips with the mac book pro.  I needs some training - does anyone know if Apple provides a free course when you buy a laptop?  I am having difficulty moving files from the hard drive to an external drive.

    Does Apple provide a free course for new Macbookpro users?  In Dubai?
    I have downloaded files on to the hard drive and cannot move them on to an external drive.  I have now lost my document folder from the status bar, although I can see it in finder.  How do I get my 'document' file back and in place on the status bar.  I tried to drag and drop it into the external drive - but failed and lost it to what appears to be space!  Please help - many thanks.  Maddy
