More cables needed to run Rented Movies

I was pretty excited about the Apple update and rented my first movie this past Saturday afternoon. That evening I came home, sat down with my favorite beverage, some snacks and hit "Play Now" only to get a message that said something to the nature that DVI is not compatible and I need composite or component video cables. WHAT!!!! My movie would not play. I headed out to a local box store and picked up some cheap video cables, disconnected my DVI cable and I was able to watch my movie. My $3.99 movie cost me around $20.00. Can someone answer why DVI is not compatible or have I missed something in the set up. As a result of using the new cables the quality is far worse than DVI.
Get this I can watch the trailers with the DVI and everything else with Apple TV but not a rented movie.

My HDMI cable has to go round a corner to get around the shelf to the tv, does that mean it won't work

  • Need help with rented movies and Apple TV

    I rented two movies from the iTunes Store from my laptop rather than my Apple TV. I cannot get the rented movies to show up on my Apple TV. I've tried to "move" the two movies from my laptop to Apple TV via the Apple TV tab in iTunes where it shows both movies under a "Rented Movies" section and gives me the option to "move" each one to my Apple TV, but when I click on each movie to move it to the Apple TV and then hit "Apply," nothing happens (at least as far as I can tell). Is there someplace special I need to find rented movies using my Apple TV remote? I clearly need help, please!

    Hi Winston,
    I have purchased the third generation of Apple TV but have not installed it yet, so I am still using my second generation Apple TV, for which I posed this question. Is the answer different when using Apple TV II?

  • I need help quick rented movie froze

    I just rented a movie on my iPod touch, started watching it and about 15 minuter into it, it froze. The time line keeps going however the picture is frozen. The download was successful (I'm pretty sure), I've tried skipping over, quitting other apps, and resetting iPod! But still freezes at same spot. any ideas? Also I was wondering how long iTunes rentals are for, when will they expire? -Thanks

    - Have you trie resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

  • Where can i find my rented movies on apple tv?

    Hi, i just tried renting a movie on my new 3rd gen apple tv, and right after i entered my ccv number it told me that i have 48 hours to watch. i went to watch it right after and i found no movie to watch! could anyone tell me where i can find my movie?

    Hey nocsinwhitesatin,
    When you rent a movie from iTunes on your computer, then you can play it on your computer or sync it to your iPhone or iPad. For your Apple TV, you will need to find it by using Home Sharing and not looking for it in the Movies section. If you go to the Computers section on the Home Screen and follow the onscreen instructions to set it up, then you should be able to find the rental and watch it on your Apple TV. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • HT1657 Once a rented movie is downloaded do I need an Internet connection to view it?  For example can I download a movie and watch it on a flight?

    Once a rented movie is downloaded do I need an Internet connection to view it?  For example can I download a movie and watch it on a flight?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.

    You need to add Internet to your cable plan and your provider will give you a modem. Then you plug a wifi router into that to get wireless Internet to your iPad.

  • What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    Hi jackwyatt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
    I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:
    About Apple video adapters and cables
    Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:

    All the best,

  • Rented movie on iMac, but need to xfer to macbook to hook up to TV

    Hi,
    I just rented two itunes movies on my iMac. I thought I could later share or move them to my wifes macbook which is what we use to hook up to the TV. However, it appears I can't move movie rentals between computers. What gives?
    Can I get apple to reimburse me so I can rent them again on the other machine if thats what I need to do?

    I have played around with this for a while and am pretty sure you can't stream movies rented on an Imac via itunes to your apple TV (2nd generation). This is really annoying as I have a slow internet connection and being able to store rented movies on my imac would be really good. Why doesn't apple allow this I wonder?
