Is there a way to watch a movie purchased through iTunes from my iPad on my AppleTV?

If I bought the movie through iTunes while using my iPad, is there any way to watch it on my TV using my AppleTV?

Yes, indeed there is.
Ensure that airplay is not disabled on your Apple TV and that both devices are on the same network. Then when playing the movie on your iPad, select the airplay icon in the control bar, tap it, select the Apple TV from the contextual menu that appears. The movie should now stream to your Apple TV.

Tap on the purchased tab in iTunes on the iPad. That screenshot is on the iPhone. Sometimes Apple makes this stuff so confusing when they try to include all iDevices on one article.

If you want to be absolutely safe, transfer the movies to iTunes on your computer. Read about it here.

Is there anyway that you know of to utilize iTunes purchased content that has been downloaded to a device on a TV without internet? This really limits when it can be used on vacation or when internet is down etc.
Will the lightning to HDMI dongle work?
thanks for any help!
This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.

Hello Boris73
Try deleting the tracks from your iTunes library and then downloading them again to test the playback. If it continues, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) on my iPad2 in-flight

I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) with the Video app on my iPad2 while flying. On a hunch, I purchased in-flight wifi and only then could I watch my rentals. What gives? Any suggestions on how to avoid paying for in-flight wifi is appreciated.

I don't think that he waited a day. From the wording, I concluded that he waited only minutes (during take-off).
I recall seeing this issue before. Apparently there is an issue related to copyright protection with some movies. I stopped flying when I retired so I didn't pay too much attention to the problem. Perhaps a search of the forum will shed more light.

Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

HT4437 Is there a way to watch a movie that I've purchased without going through this airplay malarky?

I bought a movie. I'd like to watch in on the apple tv. There should be a way of doing this without going through airplay, right?

It depends. Movies in the cloud was introduced but is currently US only and on certain titles. You could also use home-sharing.

Is there a way to access MY movies without having iTunes on???

I want to watch without my laptop having to be on...purchased stuff shows up, but not my personally owned content. Is there a way to trick itunes into thinking that my personal movies (purchased on DVD/BluRay or personal home movies) are purchased so they will show on icloud??? I am really just trying to find a way to have all my content in one place and needing to have my laptop on is not always easy. My toddler closes the laptop and then gets mad when her shows stop, trying to prevent that
Thanks for the help in advance!

Are you saying Purchased Movies play from the Cloud ? I didn't think they did but as in UK we wouldn't have that anyway.
iTunes must be available on the LAN to play local movie library content as this is stored on your local network. Even if this content was say on a network drive itunes is still needed.
AFAIK there is no 'iTunes Match' capability for TV Shows or Movies which would allow viewing from the Cloud and I'll be surprised if we see this in the near future if at all - you say these have come from DVD or BluRay so you will have used techniques that cannot be discussed here to get them into itunes as they potentially violate laws in some areas if encryption has been broken (unless they were digital copies). There is no way that Apple would be able to offer any kind of 'match' for video which has been acquired in this manner. Music is different as CDs are not encrypted and can be ripped to iTunes without contravening DMCA type legislation.
Even if there were a way to 'trick itunes' etc (I don't think there is) I suspect posting any such solution would violate Apple's forum T&Cs.
Hate to say it but the best solution would be to stick the laptop out of reach of the toddler.

Is there any way to prohibit certain movie categories or ratings from showing up I'm my iTunes movie home page

Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to customize what shows up on my iTunes movie main page. When I go into iTunes, there are often categories that I have no interest in which show up on the initial page of Movies when I go into iTunes on my iPad (and I'm assuming this would be the same on my PC version).
Can I customize the categories to only show ones I'm interested in or prohibit certain categories? My kids use the iPad as well, so I don't want horror movie images etc slammed across the movie wall.
Also, I don't rent rated R movies, so it would be easier to just have those not show up at all. It doesn't appear there are any handy settings that allow me to customize what I see, but thought I'd ask in case I'm wrong.

You can't control which genres show, but you can control which films show by their age ratings. On your iPad you can use Settings > General > Restrictions > Movies (under the 'Allowed Content' heading). On your computer's iTunes you can use Edit > Preferences and use the Parental tab to set which films (and there is a similar setting for TV programmes) can be accessed (screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be similar on a PC) :

Is there any way to get into your ipod through itunes and be able to unlock it with your passcode?

I dropped my ipod and now the bottom half of my screen isnt working too well and I can't get my lock to slide over to the right to try and type in my passcode, so I was wondering if there was a way to unlock my ipod from itunes and be able to take the passcode off so it is easier for me to get into my ipod. Or if there is an easier way to kind of reset the passcode part without resetting the whole ipod. Or if i should just buy a new ipod..

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Is there a way to get previous songs purchased on iTunes re-downloaded?

Confusing, but when my ipod was first purchased my husband used his work computer to download songs...he changed jobs and computer was taken before these songs could be saved elsewhere. All these songs were on my iPod until today when it got a little wet! I'm hoping it may come back to life, but not sure. I was never able to really understand how to get these other songs onto my new iTunes library since I no longer had the computer. I see the purchases on my history...is there anyway to get these songs downloaded again without purchasing? If my iPod never comes back to life-is there a way to get songs off of it?

Thank you for the great advice! Unfortunately, I went crazy at first and tried getting it on. But after I calmed down, did some research, I tried different things I read from hair dryer, to hot place and now cool place. I have a feeling it's DACB (dead as can be)! I will continue to pray. But thank you, I am going to follow through with your advice and hope that it will work. I'm so impatient! I didn't know to do the charging/reset part so maybe this might also help. Right now I will just hope for a miracle. And if not I will try to contact iTunes!! Which is hard to do, but through the website you gave...I will hopefully get them! I should have already tried to figure out the process of getting these songs from my iPod to my library but was too scared to hit the wrong button and lose them forever....but now I may have already done that! Oh did I mention it was a little bit of water but from a salt system pool? Yep probably dead. Which is okay that just means I can upgrade to better one...just want songs!:-( Thanks again!
