Movie rental plays on atv3 only through airplay from ipad

In ATV 3 downloaded rental movie disappears from line up of rented, purchased etc. I can download rental movie on to the ipad 4th gen and iarplay the movie on atv 3 only. I get a message on atv3 to go to settings and downloads but there is no "download" section in the settings for ATV 3. If I select the "check for rentals" I am told no rentals are present.
Basically, I can't play my movie rental through through atv3 but have to relay on my ipad to airplay it to atv 3. Help!

I have spent 2 hrs. searching this forum and others for a solution to this problem. I have the same problem - I have an iPad 2, brand new ATV. We don't have fast Internet at home (can't stream video), so I rented a couple of movies from iTunes onto my iPad. I have a DLink router running (with no Internet connected) - the ATV and iPad are both on that network. When I mirror the iPad, the ATV says (on the TV) - it can't show it (I can't remember the precise message). Tried two movies - same result.
I know you can't move a rented movie you downloaded onto an iPad to your computer. But it seems like you should be able to watch a movie rental from your iPad to your TV via ATV. Is that not the case?
Wow ....

  • Disney movie won't play on Apple TV through airplay from Iphone 4.  Any thoughts?

    It was working before, but now an error pops up saying something to the effec of "the Apple TV isn't authorized to play this content."  It was working before, but has since stopped.  Both the iPhone and Apple TV are up-to-date.  Strange thing is it plays them if I stream from iTunes.  I know that's probably the best way to do it, but we don't always have our laptop on.  Also, this was happening for the two Disney movies we have (and only 2 movies we have, period) - Beauty and the Beast and Tangled.
    Thanks.

    I hace the same issue with Cars 2. Haven't been able to figure out what's wrong.

  • Can I use ATV(2) and Airplay from iPad without a network?

    I'm going on holiday to a rented villa which has a TV (which I assume has an HDMI port) but there is no internet connection, therefore no router or local WiFi network.  I'd like to be able to play content from my iPad and/or iPhone via Airplay on the TV using my AppleTV (2) (which I could easily take with me).
    However, experimenting at home, it seems that ATV won't do anything at all unless connected to a WiFi network.  Airplay works fine even if the network is not connected to the internet; even purchased content seems to be ok (but DRM free - I haven't bought any non-DRM-free music).  However, without a separate WiFi router, ATV doesn't seem to do anything.  In particular, my iPad doesn't "see" it, and can't connect to it, unless both are connected to an existing network.
    I don't understand why this should be so.  Should it not be possible to connect two WiFi devices (eg iPad and ATV) to each other without needing a router?
    I can get it to work if I use my MBP to set up a WiFi network by using Internet Sharing to share my (non-existent) ethernet connection using Airport.  Airplay then works between my iPad and ATV.  However, this is a rather clumsy arrangement - I'd been hoping I wouldn't need to take my MBP with me for that week.
    So, am I doing anything wrong, or is this (Airplay from iPad to ATV without a router) just something ATV can't do?  And is it "can't do" (ie ATV has the wrong chipset or something) or "won't do" (ie Apple have set it up so it won't work like this)?  And if it's "won't do", any chance Apple will provide this functionality in the future?

    After submitting this, I found an answer to a similar question last December (Can I create an ad-hoc (WiFi) network between my iPhone and Apple TV?); basically saying that you need the router; but I'll leave this as a question (a) to help others find it, because I looked before I submitted and didn't find a relevant discussion and (b) just in case someone else has a better idea......

    You could take the airport and setup a wifi network without Internet. The atv2 can connect without Internet access to a wifi network setup with a router. Be patient when it connects, it tries to establish an Internet connection and it takes a while to find there isn't one!! Eventually it offers to connect without Internet. Once connected you can stream to it as usual. One word of caution - don't disable home sharing, if you do and re-activate it the atv2 seems to need an Internet connection to verify your account.
    I did precisely this recently when I had to wait for a couple of weeks for Internet to be connected at my new house.
    But, you need the router - unlike iPhone, iPad etc the atv2 will not connect to an ad hoc network.

  • Does itunes movie rentals play right away?

    On an Apple TV, movie rentals from Apple play right away. Does the same thing happen on iTunes 11?
    --Sam

    Should play as soon as download is over. But consider that if you downloaded movie to one device you may not be able to play it on other once you started playing on first. I do not know what device have what restrictions, but you can find that info here.
    "You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device."

  • Airplay from ipad gives error on AppleTV 2. Says "an error occured loading this content. Try again later"

    I have been unable to use our AppleTV 2 for a few weeks now. I can't figure out what is wrong. I am unable to play anything via Airplay when trying to play videos from our iPad. I get the error "An error occured loading this content. Try again later". This happens only when trying to play videos from our iPad, but not videos from my iPhone. I am also unable to stream videos from our Netflix instant queue. I've tested the network, which is fine. The iOS on the iPad is up to date, as is the AppleTV 2. Any other suggestions?
    update: i unplugged the apple tv for 60 seconds and its working now. 

    The video files are mostly M4V not MP4. I did find that if I start playback and select the ATV3 from inside iTunes, the movie will play fine. However, this is not optimal as the iMac is in another room.

  • Apple TV loses wireless network connection when using AirPlay from iPad or iPhone 5

    Our Apple TV loses connectivity to our wireless network while using Airplay from our iPad or iPhone 5. This started occurring after the latest iOS update. We are able to wirelessly stream movies from iTunes without any problem. This issue occurs only when using AirPlay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have a:
    new MBPr 15" late 2013 with dedicated graphics card
    new airport extreme base station
    3rd generation apple tv
    iPhone 5s
    200mb download speed (not important, as streaming video on your local network has nothing todo with outside bandwidth)
    All equipment is up to date software wise. Airplay mirroring from my laptop to my apple tv is ok. I get frequent lag, pixelation, audio skip (every 10 mins or so).
    I'm using the 5ghz specturm to connect to the airport express so shouldn't have any inteference from my neibours (accordiing to iStumbler i'm the only person with a 5ghz setup using channel 30). I've tried connecting apple tv wirelessly and wired. No issues streaming from my iPhone or an iPad!
    Surprisingly, using apps such as Beemer or Air Video Server on my MBP work better than native mirroring when it comes to video play back.
    Strange when you think how Air Video works:
    Video file lives on MBP
    iPhone connects to laptop
    Video plays on iPhone and is sent to Apple TV via Air Mirroring
    Rather than:
    Video played on laptop
    Video sent to Apple TV
    Seems bizzare that my iPhone can handle better streaming than my pro laptop.

  • Apple TV internet no Airplay from IPAD despite WIFI router

    Hi,
    My Apple TV2 is connected to my Ethernet wired network, there is a Netgear Modem Router on this network that allows DHCP and WIFI access WPA2 secured.
    The Apple TV can connect to the Mac to share the itune Library over wired ethernet.
    My Ipad connect to the same Netgear throught Wifi and I can access every Mac on the ethernet network with all apps.
    BUT No way to connect iPad Wifi to the wired ethernet connected Apple TV, I mean iPAD wifi to the netgear router to ethernet wire to the Apple TV, exactly what I do for mac's and pc's that are ethernet connected to the netgear Router.
    My iPad can connect to MAC with the same network for screen sharing with decicated Apps.
    If I unplug the apple TV from Ethernet wire and I configure WIFI, my Ipad connect instantly to the apple TV for Airplay or remote.
    Wifi is far too slow for Video display, you have to wait a lot before it start and it jitters, so I need the fester connection of my 1GB ethernet network from Apple TV to MAC, this is working well but then I cannot use ipad airplay...
    every Item is using DHCP from the netgear.
    I hope this is clear enought.
    Did anyone succeded in implementing such a network configuration???
    Does Apple TV neeeeddss direct WIFI for using Aiplay from iPad  (it's the same for iPhone by the way) ??? WHY  (performance, bonjour, marketing lock ??)
    Is there a way (by Jailbreak?) to enable ethernet wiring and Wifi on the Apple TV???
    Tahnk you for your help
    Regards
    Luis

    The netgear router did not work properly with apple TV, I disconnected its WIFI and use it only as a modem for internet cable to ethernet local network, so no wifi.
    I bought a time capsule that I included in my ethernet local network and used its wifi as a bridge for wifi devices (ipad iphones) to local network with internet acces through the modem router.
    Then I connected my apple tv2 to my ethernet local network.
    With this configuration my ipad or iphone can through time capsule wifi access ethernet local network and use apple TV2 to display ipad/iphone screen/video on my TV. superb indeed...
    regards

  • Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?

    Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
    I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
    This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
    Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?

    Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
    If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?

  • ONLY sync photos from iPad to iMac folder; automatically how?

    I have 50 GB of pictures in iPhoto on my iMac (10.8.4) along with an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3.
    I would like new pics from the iPhone and iPad to be automatically downloaded into the folder I have set up to get pics from those devices "iPod Photos"
    How do I do this?
    Alternatively, I would like the folder "iPod Photos" to stay sync'ed both ways but only with iPhone and iPad.
    I do not want my fat pics being sent via my 3G Vodafone account to iCloud etc while I am out and about - ONLY via WiFi when I am home.
    Is there a way to set this up?

  • HT5517 AirPlay from iPad to tv

    have iTunes loaded on my PC.  Do I need it on my iPad to use airplay to protect from iPad to tv?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • HT204291 Help with AirPlay from iPad

    I'm trying to send a video to my AppleTV from iPad. Sound is heard, but image is main menu. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

  • HT4437 Cannot play protected movies on AirPlay from iPad

    I cannot play a movie from my iPad to my Apple TV device. I get an error "cannot play protected movies". Why is this when I bought the digital copy with the Blu-ray Disc ?

    I'm not aware of any third-party receiver that supports video over AirPlay, so you'll probably need an Apple TV. But then, as long as you have a WiFi network in your house, you should be able to play the movie through the Apple TV to your projector without needing Internet as long as the movie has completely downloaded. For more information on AirPlay see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
    In some cases, though, people have reported that even with the rental completely downloaded (or so they said) it still asked to connect to the iTunes Store, so it's not 100% reliable, it seems.
