Movies purchased on computer and home shared can be played on Apple TV but not iPad Mini.

Hi - I've recently purchased Dark Knight Rises and Toy Story 3 via Apple TV. Purchased, not rented. I then downloaded the movies on my
Computer (MacBook Pro mid 2010, iTunes 11.0.1). I then home shared the movies on the computer.
I can see and play the movies on Apple TV and the computer. However, those movies do not appear under the Video app on my ipad mini. Other movies, including ones I purchased recently, show up and play just fine on the ipad mini.
The default resolution is set to 1080p in iTunes on the computer. The computer is running OSX 10.8.2.
Any suggestions?

I think I've isolated the problem. The shared videos that are missing from the ipad mini "Videos" app are 1080p. I thought the ipad mini could play 1080p, or at least downcode to somthing it could display.
Maybe it can't.

  • I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

    I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

    Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
    But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive.  FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers. 

  • HT4759 i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    An update.
    From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    "iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
    but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

  • Got a new computer, did the home sharing, downloaded all tunes into new laptop but not all of the songs can be played now

    as said above..New laptop, downloaded Itunes.  Home shared, downloaded all tunes into new Itunes butalthough they are there some are greyed out and will not play.  How do i fix this ?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    I just got my new Iphone 5s activated at verizon. I came home to plug into my computer to get all my apps, etc that I had backed up from old phone. Computer keeps saying it can't access the new phone due to a password and that I need to enter password and try again. However, I don't have a password set on the new phone. Any help would be appreicated....I don't want to loose all my back up.

  • 3G can catch wifi in apple store but not anywhere else

    So I upgraded my 3G to OS4.0 a few weeks ago and like many others have experienced, my wifi has gone DEAD right after the upgrade. No networks show up whatsoever. I have spent hours going through this forum and google, only to find out that there's no solution for it and some have even resorted to putting the phone in the freezer
    I was just about to give up on the problem thinking it's a hardware issue, but today I happen to pass an apple store. I explained my problem to one of the Apple consultants and as soon as he touched it there was the wifi!!! He didn't understand why it didn't work at my dorm (on college campus) and told me to come back and try.
    So here I am back at my dorm again with the same old problem - it can't find any wifi. This is getting really frustrating and I do hope I can find a solution for it. The fact that it worked at Apple Store shows that it's not a hardware issue, but what is it!!! It was able to find my campus network before I upgraded it, so I don't think it has anything to do with campus network having a weak signal. Arghhhh I hate apple. If anyone knows how to solve this please please let me know.

    So I tried using my macbook pro to share internet to the iphone, and the phone can detect the network! I'm guessing my campus network and several hundred other networks around me are too far to be detected? But how close must you be for it to work!? it's unbelievable that I live right in the city where there are hundreds of wifi detected on my laptop but none on my iphone

  • Can I use the apple remote on the iPad mini or iPhone 5s?

    Why won't the apple remote I just bought wont' work on my iPhone 5s or iPad mini? It works on my Mac great, but that's not where I need it! What a waste, I spent all day trying to set this up. Nothing in the manual saying it does NOT WORK ON other components. It clearly states it DOES WORK ON OTHER!  grrrr!! I even had to reinstall my backup as I accidentenly pressed "forget this device" and could not get bluetooth to work again. Not user friendly at all. Will return for refund if I cannot get it to work!

    No ios device ever apart from appletv have had an ir sensor some docks have ir but never the devices

  • My new computer is authorized and home sharing is turned on for both computers, but the Shared section is no longer showing up on either computer. What do I do now?

    I am not sure how to view the Shared section on either computer. It says the new computer will open it once it finds my other computer, or something like that, and I do not know why it is not finding it. Basically, I do not know what to do at this point.

    If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar. 
    If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
    Hope that helps.  Good luck.

  • I have updated iTunes on my computer and my iPod nano 4 is up to date but not all music shows up in my iTunes library..only the purchased songs..what happened and how do I get them back into the library?

    The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Best Regards,

  • Downloaded a movie (mpeg-4) from youtube and I only have audio and no video.  it plays on another pc but not this one.  please help.

    Hi,
    I downloaded the latest free version of quicktime.  I am trying to play a movie (mpeg-4) that was downloaded from youtube.  It plays fine on my other pc, but I only get audio and no video when I open it on this pc. It shows up like static lines on a tv that has bad reception.  Can anyone offer some suggestions please?  I need to play it on thislaptop computer as I require it for a school presentation.  Thank you.

    It plays fine on my other pc, but I only get audio and no video when I open it on this pc. It shows up like static lines on a tv that has bad reception.
    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

  • How can I change the Apple ID on a iPad mini running OSX 8

    A family member would like to begin to use his Apple ID now on his own iPad WiFi mini running the new OSX 8. Under the Settings, iCloud we cannot find a way to switch from my Apple ID to his Apple ID which was opened with the purchase of his iPhone 5C a few months ago. When we select the "Edit" option only the name of the Apple ID can be changed, not the iCloud email address. Is there a way of signing out of the current ID and signing in with the one we want to replace the old ID with?

    To change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Sign Out (at the bottom).  When you do you will get an option to keep a copy of the iCloud data on your device.  Choose to do so if you need to migrate the data to the new account.  On a Mac, you go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, then sign back in with the new ID.
    To change the ID for other services (iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes Store, etc.), you tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • Windows 2000 laptop can connect to unsecured Apple network, but not w/WEP

    I have a PC laptop running Windows 2000 with a Linksys WPC54GS wireless network adapter. I am running two Apple Expresses as one network. This is a healthy network and most everything I need to do works.
    However, I can't connect to this network unless I turn off security entirely. Well, to be exact, I know it doesn't work (yet) with 128-bit WEP, and I haven't tried the 40-bit WEP (and don't especially want to). I tried switching to a 13-character password and getting the hex equivalent of it for use as the password on the laptop, but still no joy. The Linksys application on the PC lets you generate 4 different keys from a text password. I tried that too and tried all 4 different keys, and that doesn't work either.
    Any ideas?

    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

    Only Windows XP has native support for wireless networking.
    Other versions of Windows do not have native support for wireless networking.
    What this means is that, unlike Windows XP, you can not plug in a wireless adapter and expect Windows to recognise it and start working.
    You will need to install some kind of software configuration utility that came with the adapter. Each manufacturer has their own software so as a result the process of using these utilities to connect a Windows (non-XP) computer to an Airport wireless network will be different and so no generic guide is available.

  • Can I use an apple remote with the ipad mini?

    I would really like to use a remote. Is it possible?

    Although I know it's not possible, there is a situation in which a remote for the iPad would be useful: when connecting an iPad to a projector to show Keynote presenations--which I do regularly.  It would be great if I could connect the iPad to the projector and then move to a podium or wander about the room and be able to advance slides remotely.
