Movie Purchases and 5.1 Surround
Recently I've been noticing some movies (such as Casino Royale and the just released Australia) come with 5.1 Surround Sound. When these are downloaded through iTunes, will they play in Surround on a Machine (given a proper system of course) or is it only for use with AppleTV? Also, are these movies capable of being purchased only in Stereo?
Just purchased my first HD movie through iTunes with DD 5.1.
My home theater uses a Mac Mini w/ iTunes to view content. With optical audio, all necessary equipment, etc...
To my surprise, when selecting DD 5.1 in iTunes, there is no audio.
After digging around on these forums and other places online, I have learned that iTunes, Quicktime, your "computer", will not play 5.1. You will only get 5.1 on AppleTV.
This is a major oversight on Apples part that they need to fix. Send them a message through iTunes feedback and let them know.
They are advertising 5.1 on your "computer" which is completely untrue.

Movie purchases and rentals not synching to correct locations
When I rent a movie on Apple TV, to watch at a later time, it disappears from my T.V and moves itself into my computer. I have tried, without success to get it back onto the t.v. When I go into Apple T.V. under settings - I do not get syncing as one of my options. I have lost three rentals. Now my purchases have also disappeared.
I don't think so. Rentals are different from purchases so I think that's not how it works.. You can ask support though. For clarification.

Will Apple have a new UHD feature on for Movies purchase and/or rented on iTunes?
It seems to me that with the growing demand of 4K displays, and with the new release of the new iMac with Retina 5K display, not to mention the pre-existing MacBook Pros with Retina Display, that there is a definite profit to be made from UHD (Ultra High Definition) movies. With the release of UHD Blu-rays and players coming next December, it seems a likely path that apple will (hopefully) take and a path that other media providers (i.e. Amazon, Sony Video Unlimited, Netflix etc.) already have taken. It seems likely to me, but what do you think?
We are fellow users, we won't know until if/where Apple announce something - but it will also require the rights-holders to be willing to provide their content in that format to Apple.

How to find movies purchased on the computer on ATV2?
There is an option to watched purchased TV shows but not purchased movies on the APTV2. How do i watch movies i purchased on my computer (iTunes) on my apple tv without homesharing?
As Winston says Apple has not negotiated the rights to redownload movie purchases and knowing the movie studios greed it may take time if it comes at all - frankly I'm amazed they've got music companies and TV Show makers on board so they may be closer than I'd expected.
You must Home Share and will see the content under Computer>Library name>Movies if itunes is running on the LAN.

I have purchased a movie and downloaded it. Next I get a screen that says Terms and Conditions and tells me to read and click on Agree. I cannot find the Agree anywhere in the document. How do I move on and view the movie?
Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data). -

Movie Rentals and Purchases on IPad - What's wrong with this?
Bought my very first Apple product...(IPad 64G WiFi only) last week.
I intended to use it just to keep me busy reading, watching movies, playing games, on all the long flights to Europe and Asia that I take.
So yesterday I excitedly set up an ITunes account, and downloaded 4 movie rentals, and purchased one other movie (Angels and Demons). All HD. I just figure I'd let it run all night and I'd see the movies the next morning.
The rentals all appear to have downloaded, and they show up in the videos section. HOWEVER, they are ALL marked "Expires in 17 hours". Never started watching any of them, why are they already set to expire? The rental info section of Itunes says I have 30 days to start watching, then 24 hours after that til they expire.
As for the purchased movie, th it appeared stuck on the "tap to retry" icon, which I did several times, with repeated errors, until the download icon simply disappeared and no sign of the dowload status or the actual movie anywhere.
I DID get billed for all of these. This is like 40 bucks worth of stuff.
Everyone who uses MAC stuff always brags about how great it is, how excellent customer service is, how things just "work", etc.
Color me WAY not impressed. No answers to my emails sent through ITunes help (yes, I checked spam folder) and no movies for my flight to China this weekend.
Any suggestions on things to change to make it work better next time? OR just buy a **** portable DVD player for 400 bucks less than an Ipad?HI Jeffrey and welcome...

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.Try:

hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
regards johnHello hotsone,
You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?
after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok. -

What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.
