Is Apple TV necessary to play a purchased film downloaded to my iPad?

Do I understand that Match is for music only, and not for film/video?

Airplay is a way to play music or videos on speakers and TVs. One can connect an iPad to a TV directly via the Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable or you can send the video via AirPlay via WiFi to an Apple TV connected to your TV which will display the video & sound.

Does anyone know if the Apple HDMI adaptor can play iTunes purchased movies with the latest IOS

Does anyone know if the Apple HDMI adaptor can play iTunes purchased movies with the latest IOS. I only want to play my downloaded movie on a TV where there is no internet for Apple to unlock it and play via my AppleTV. The reviews I am reading are very mixed !

My Apple TV is not playing my purchased shows but my iphone is. How do I fix this

My Apple TV is showing that iTunes is unavailable to play my purchases but my iPhone is able to play them. How do I fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can play some purchased films on my apple tv but some don't play. It keeps on saying that I need to authorize my computer (which I have). Can someone help? many thanks

Could someone please help? I can play some dowloaded films through Apple TV but my 2 recent purchases won't play. It says I need to authorise my computer (whcih I have already). Has anyone had similar issues?

in remote app click on the
lower left corner on the text
top of the context menu click devices
choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
you should use airplay mirror not the remote app

My apple TV is not playing my purchased TV shows

I have purchased several TV shows on my apple TV and not had any problems so far. The last week I am unable to watch a show. When I press PLAY it just returns back to the play screen. Help?

Hi Chenks, but as I wrote above, I have tried restarting the AppleTV several times, I have had this issue for a while now, I even turn off the AppleTV at night and boot it up each time I want to view something so it has had plenty of time to recover, but now it is getting to a stage where I want to view my content!
So, have rebooted, restarted, factory restored and still no joy on latest version, 1.0 comes up with not authorised despite it being authorised, de-and-re-authorised iTunes on MBP - these shows play fine on my MBP and wife's MB - the only issue I have is with AppleTV (the DID use to play on it, just get white screen of death now!)
Any other ideas?

1st Gen Apple TV won't play iTunes purchased movie

I purchased a movie (not HD) on iTunes and cannot play it on my 1st gen Apple TV. My older movies are still there to be viewed. Any thoughts?

Does it appear in the movie list on the AppleTV1 but won't play? Does it give an error?
Try purchasing something on AppleTV1 direct - check in iTunes you may find a free episode of a TV Show or similar. I had an issue last year with new content until I purchased something else on AppleTV - i assumed it was some kind of authorisation getting updated.

1stGen Apple TV Won't Play Newly Purchased Movies

I have a 1stGen Apple TV and just purchased 2 movies on my computer via the iTunes Store. When I try to play them on my 1stGen Apple TV It shows the movies on my "Shared Movies" Menue, but won't play the content. On the main menue it shows them at being 0sec long. I can navigate through the movie content menues, but can not play any of the content. All other movies work just fine, just these newly purchased ones....I have tried everything and nothing works.

You might try copying the HD movies to your desktop, then deleting the listing and original from iTunes, iTunes should then let you re-download an SD version for the Apple TV 1. You can then re-import the HD version from your desktop.

You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

I can't find purchased movies downloaded to my ipad 2. where are they and how do I play them

I have purchased movies that I have downloaded to my macbook pro and manually added them to my iPad 2. They show as files when iPad is connected to the macbook pro using the sync cable. There is no app that appears to work to find them, and iTunes and the app store only retrieve 3rd party movie providers during a search, I know youneed iBooks to view a book, is there an "iMovies" for feature movie watching not home movie creation?

Look in the videos app for your movies on the iPad.

I have changed my Apple ID email but when I need to download apps on iPad or iPod it keeps commish up with my old email address si I cannot download or update apps or iTunes

I have changed my Apple ID to new email and new password. Apple confirmed changes. Now when I need to download apps or iTunes purchases it asks me to verify and put in password for my previous email and password, which it declines the old password as obviously the email is wrong but I do not get option to change email only to rest password. How do I rectify this.

Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.

Can purchase and download on my iPad but when I got

When I purchase a tv show on my iPad I can download ok, but when I go to my laptop(windows) and go to my library and sync it removes it from my iPad what am I doing wrong?

All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged.

Can I watch a movie that has been purchased or rented from itunes and downloaded to my ipad without internet access?

I would like to be able to watch a movie while I'm camping and stuck in the camper due to inclement weather. More than likely, I will not have access to the internet. Is it possible to watch a movie that has been rented or purchased and downloaded to my ipad?

I have seen conflicting answers about this issue recently.
If you purchase a movie and it is fully downloaded to your iPad - yes you can watch it without an Internet connection.
With a rental there seems to be two schools of thought. The first is just like the answer to a purchased movie - once fully download no Internet connection is needed. The other reply is that you need an internet connection in order to authorize playback and those who state this say that you can't play a rental without the Internet connection.
I have never rented a movie but the second school of thought makes no sense to me. If the movie is downloaded and the authorization has already taken place, I see no reason to need the Internet connection. I have read stories of iPad users talking about watching rented movies on airplane flights so that would be without an Internet connection.
