Movies no longer offered by apple tv?

So I made a wishlist of all the movies I want to watch. I go to rent one and it says that it is no longer offered on Apple TV. It happened to about 3 of them. I thought that maybe the studio dropped their movies or deal with Apple. I checked, and all 3 movies had 3 different studios. What's the deal?
Does Apple start removing movies after a while? If so, why does it bring old movies onto the service?

I believe it depends on licensing rights for movies which rotate from time to time. For example you can usually predict what movies are going to disappear based on their premiering (or re-premiering) on cable channels. My guess is that whatever movies you had on your wishlist probably just premiered on HBO or one of the pay cable channels. Eventually their licensing rights will expire and the movie will return to ATV.

Movie no longer available on Apple TV

Hello,
I purchased a movie on iTunes about a month ago and have watched it a few times on Apple TV. It is now no longer showing on my Apple TV (but is showing on all other devices). I've right clicked the movie in iTunes to make sure it's in the cloud and reset my Apple TV to factory settings - it's still not showing. Any suggestions on what I should try next?
Thanks for you help!

Correct, it is not locally stored and is streaming from the cloud. I'm using the same Apple ID, I only have one location and have never changed it (double checked and set correctly). Thanks for helping me troubleshoot! I'll contact iTunes.

Personal video and movies no longer showing after Apple TV Update

Since I updated my Apple TV (second gen), all my personal videos seem to have vanished. This includes videos I may have created and/or digitized myself that are present in iTunes on my Mac. Now all I see are movies I purchased thorugh iTunes. I am connecting via my lcoal network to my Mac.
How do I get all my video to show again as it did with the last version of the software?

ITunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync.

iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
Simplify.
I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )

Apple have killed off their best asset! MAIL-IN service NO LONGER offered!

I am the owner of a 'Friday Afternoon' iBook that has been plagued by failures since the day I bought it in March 2005. It has since had two new logic boards, new RAM, a new hard disc, new internal ribbon cables and a new bezel around the screen. Apple kept me quite happy, each time collecting the iBook and returning it repaired inside three days. I put up with the poor reliability of the iBook as Apple had made it so easy to get it repaired in a hurry. Nonetheless I made clear I wasn't satisfied with the amount of failures the iBook was suffering and was promised that if it suffered another major failure it would be replaced with a comparable new product so that I wouldn't lose faith in Apple's kit.
A couple of days ago the thing started freezing up and giving me garbled graphics again, bit by bit dying until last night only the backlight and the fan remained operational. I was well annoyed but took comfort in the knowledge that this time it would be sorted for good. I called Apple this afternoon and after performing various tests to prove the iBook had totally expired I was told there wasn't a great amount they could do themselves as they could no longer offer mail-in servicing for my product. He could give me the address of the nearest repair centre, one fairly nearby (the other 'recommended' one closer to 60 miles away). As for having the laptop from **** replaced with a functioning one this wasn't an option - it has to suffer MORE THAN THREE total failures before Apple will consider replacing it (making me wonder what the heck I paid £200 for an extended warranty for if it will only be replaced for new when it has died for a FOURTH time!).
Does anyone know any address or other contact details for someone I can reach at Apple (UK) who could sort this out for me? I'm far from a greedy person but I left the Regent Street Apple Store over £1200 lighter and less that two years later the iBook is dead (for a third time), I've got a £200 warranty that no longer provides the backup it used to and frankly if I make the effort to take it myself to have a new logic board installed I'm only going to wind up with a laptop I'm worried is teetering on the edge of death every time I use it.
I've completely lost faith in the iBook and am losing faith in Apple. I'm a massive Mac fan and this is a very sad day for me - I've been let down.
Cheers for listening, any shoulders I can cry on will be much appreciated.

Hi Tom,
I'm astonished that you have been fobbed off in this fashion. I, like you, had always assumed that Applecare would cover, for the duration, a mail in service. Some here, though I can't for the life of me find a relevant link, have reported having had success by contacting Customer Relations (Care?) by phone rather than dealing with support. As I understand it, you have to phone the support line, then insist, politely but firmly, that you are transferred to CR.
At all times remain polite, if firm, and stick to the facts. (No swearing, however much you might feel like it!)
Stress the inconvenience of:
a) Having to return to Regent Street - twice, once to deliver & again to collect,
b) Being without the iBook that you paid a hefty chunk of £s to own and use.
c) Anything else that you can think of that needs "stressing'…
If all else fails, you might consider contacting Trading Standards to see what advice they can offer, or maybe they can even intercede on your behalf. (Do TS do that?)
Best of luck, and I, at least, am interested!
Take care

TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

I rented a movie using iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but it won't move to my first Generation Apple TV

I justed downloaded a Rented Movie from iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I did it through United Airlines e-miles to get credits. Now, when I try to move it from the Rented Movies to the On "Apple TV" box on my Apple TV box, it stays in it for no longer than 35 seconds after I click on Apply and then moves back to the "Rented Movies" box. The only thing that appears in the Apple Symbol progress box is Syncing "Apple TV" is "Copying 2 of 2: IMG_0318" and them it moves back to the "Rented Movies Box. The same message appears if I click on Sync with it still in the "Rented Movies" box.
How can I overcome this problem? I have 29 days and 23 houors to solve this problem, but would like to do it for watching NLT Monday, 21 May 2012, evening!

Mr. Churchill - First, to answer your last questions:
Yes, the movie is fully downloaded, all 3.69 GBs.
No the Apple TV has 127.5 GBs of its 144.63 GBs free.
Second, I tried turning the Time Capsule WiFi rounter and Apple TV off (for at least two or three minutes, not the usual 10 seconds recommended) and I still could not move the movie.
Third, I severed the link and set it up again re-synced all 5,103 items back and still when I move the movies to the Apple TV box and Apply it, after 35 seconds it stops the sync and moves it back the the Rented Movies box.
Though I have set my Apple TV to sync with my MacBook Pro I cannot find a way to connect it to other than shared library, but not the "not shared library" (Is this what the Rented Movies are?). Is what Fletch is talking about int the "Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV" discussion my problem and a solution?

there are three possibilities: you have not upgraded to version 2.0 or in Summary on the ATV device in iTunes, you should look whether you have it set up to only sync or otherwise disables movie syncing, or you have not paired your Mac to the ATV (on your tv, settings/computers/connect to itunes library - not shared library)

Or is it something else?

Hi I have 2 apple id's one which has pulled through everything except my calendars and one which has pulled through just my calendars. How do I move my calendars from one apple id to another?

Hi I have 2 apple id's one which has pulled through everything into icloud except my calendars and one which has pulled through just my calendars. How do I move my calendars from one apple id to another so that I can see everything in icloud with one apple id?

Having read some other posts I think I have answered my question. If I was somehow able to terminate my old (unwanted) account and Apple ID I would no longer be able to access the material I bought with that ID- so I'm stuck. I have to learn how to manage that situation.
This is unfortunate for Apple consumers. Life is complicated for families these days and this "rule" although it is in place to prevent cheating and fraud makes things unnnecessarily difficult for me and my family as in my niaevity (sic) with the online world I bumbled into this situation. Not everyone is out to rip off Apple - one of the worlds richest corporations- or the entertainers who market their work through iTunes.I would just like to be able to enjoy the entertainment I pay for where and when I like to on whichever computer is available to me. And I'm not terribly computer literate.
It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to speak just once to a real person in the employ of Apple to explain my situation to them.

App no longer offered won't delete from iPhone or iTunes

I downloaded the app, Google Offers, a while ago. The app is no longer offered from iTunes on the store. I am unable to delete the app off my phone.
-The icon is "darkened" on my iPhone screen
-I am able to click the X to delete it and the message comes up saying "Deleting "Offers" will also delete all of its data." I click delete and the icon doesn't go away.
-I have checked my restrictions and am able to delete apps.
-I do not see the app listed on my apps list on iTunes of all of the apps I have downloaded (whether I have them downloaded or not)
-When I have my iPhone selected in iTunes, and click the apps tab to see my different screens and apps downloaded, the icon is there, and when I hover over the other icons, an X appears, but not on this icon. The icon is NOT darkened on this screen in iTunes like it is on my actual phone screen.
-If I try to drag and drop the icon in the trash from iTunes, it drags, but then just shows right back up
-I cannot right click the icon in iTunes for more options
It really seems like I've done everything I can think of, can anyone else help out or have any other ideas?
Thanks,
b

Hi groovyb,
You may want to try simply resetting your iPhone to address this issue, then proceeding to attempt to delete the app as normal after the reset:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, you may want to create a backup of your phone and then restore the software:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Remote access my time capsule when mobile me is no longer offered? And I do NOT have a static IP?

How can i remote access my time capsule when mobile me is no longer offered iCloud is months away and I do NOT have a static IP?
I feel that apple has crippled the functionality of my time capsule as I can no longer access the files abroad!

Try the advice in this thread.

Pleasanton store always overcrowded and noisy. They no longer offer one hour one on one intro session. I can't hear or think with all the commotion in the store. How can I get an appt. before the store opens?

The Pleasanton store is always overcrowded and noisy. I can't hear and can hardly think in there. They no longer offer a 1 hr. one on one intro session. I want to buy a mac this week but I won't if I can't try one and get my questions answered. How can I get an intro session before the store opens?

If you know which computer you want you can order it online at the online Apple Store. As for learning your new computer Apple provides many online tutorials for people make the switch from a PC. Here are some starter sites that I'd recommend you bookmark and use.
Switch 101, Mac 101 & Find Out How Video tutorials.
If you prefer to purchase directly from a brick and mortar Apple Store you are very fortunate to live in the Bay Area, where there are many stores to choose from. When you arrive tell the receptionist you want to purchase an iMac and they will have help you get a sales professional to help you. You can also use the new system Apple implemented this past week at any of the display counters to request a sales person come to you. Again the receptionist can help you get started on that too. Once a system is purchased and you buy the one on one service the one one one service is executed where it's more quiet than inside the store. I frequent the Valley Fair store in Santa Clara on occasion, this store is extremely busy and I see people receiving one on one service all the time within the mall at dedicated tables.

As of today, many podcasts no longer available on Apple TV. Why?

The offering list does not look any different to me. The 15 or so I have flagged are all still there. You would need to contact the pod caster and ask why they stopped distributing their pod cast via iTunes.

It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.
