Moving movies from computer to Apple TV

I'm trying to move movies from my Mac mini to my 1st generation Apple TV.  How do I do that?

You need to set your library up as a primary library, have you done that. See This.

  • Can i transfer my rented movie from computer to my apple tv

    just wondering can i do that..... ty

    Yeah, so it's still broken for me, and moreover, the problem has passed from being irksome to a shrieking waste of my time. Here's what I've done:
    0. Rented a movie directly from the Apple TV -- successfully
    Then:
    1. upgraded iTunes to 7.6.1
    2. nuked settings for iTunes (e.g. wiped slate, restarted, re-entered all info)
    3. nuked settings on Apple TV, re-entered all info
    4. re-established connection between iTunes 7.6.1 and Apple TV
    5. Re-tried moving the movie from iTunes to Apple TV
    6. FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
    I then emailed iTunes support, which was quite gracious in their reply: "We're sorry, but you have a technical problem, and here's a number for you to call. Be aware that calling Apple for tech support may cost you money."
    It was at that point that I decided to give up, having little appetite for being blackmailed and insulted repeatedly. I've got a movie on my MacBook that I have little desire for watching on a 13.3" screen, and 27 days to hope for a miracle because there is zero to no instrumentation or other information I can use to debug this maddeningly stupid problem.
    Please pass this information to the Apple TV developer team before deleting it (because this is an Apple forum, yanno, and this post certainly isn't singing any praises). I've got no energy to file a bug on Radar, and I'm out $2.99 and several hours of mindless troubleshooting. It's the "several hours" that's got me upset the most of all.
    No thanks, Apple, you great big black void of nonresponse.

  • HT1657 Can I stream a rented movie from computer to tv?

    Can I stream a rented movie from computer to tv?

    If you have an Apple TV, you can move the rented movie there to watch it. There is no way I know of to do a true stream of a movie rented from the iTunes Store, nor can a movie from there be played on anything other than an Apple device or in Apple's software.
    Regards.

  • How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

  • Moving Rented movies from computer to ipod

    I need some help. I have a one year old ipod classic.
    I cannot seem to move rented movies from my computer to my ipod.
    When I plug my ipod to my computer and hit the movie tap, I do not see the movie.
    The move is showing on my computer, but it does not give me a choice to move it to my ipod, like I have seen on other help sites.
    Do I need to turn something on my ipod?
    I have loaded TV shows to the ipod and watched them, but I cannot move the rented movies.
    I checked to see if I have the updated software, and I do.
    Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The iPod you have (incidentally, the same one I have) can essentially watch TV shows, Movies, and Music Videos, but no rental movies. I was met with the same disappointment when I discovered I cannot put rented movies onto my iPod. It is sort of a shame, as I'm not entirely convinced there's a hardware element missing from my iPod preventing this from being supported.
    Sorry I didn't have better news for you. You might want to consider emailing iTunes Store support and seeing if there's some way they can compensate for this, as the file purchased is not compatible with your device. Since the files are set to disappear after a certain amount of time within beginning playback, I'm almost sure they'd be able to determine whether you've viewed the movie yet.

  • Watching movies on computer and Apple TV

    If I rent a movie on my MacBook Pro and start streaming it, can I move to to the living room and continue watching the movie on Apple TV.

    Hey Norman Duke,
    I found the following information about moving your rental from your MacBook Pro to an Apple TV:
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

  • Do I still need 3 versions of each movie 1) Computer 2) Apple TV 3) iPod?

    Not sure the best format to import movies into iTunes (not from the store) but do I still need to have a version for
    1) The computer
    2) Apple TV
    3) iPod
    and is there a way to sort or filter these 3 types in iTunes or Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix uses an adaptive format, i.e. it varies it's quality according to connection speed and can go as low as 0.5 Mbps, although it won't look too good.
    You have two options:
    You can download to iTunes on your computer, it likely won't download any quicker, but it will stay there and so don't need to worry about stopping the movie in the middle (movies downloaded to the computer will need to be fully downloaded before they will stream to the Apple TV).
    You could also switch to SD (settings > general > iTunes Store), your movies will download more quickly if you do this.

  • Moving folders from Entourage to Apple Mail

    I need to move several folders of 'saved messages' from Entourage to Apple Mail. I have done by using File>Import Mailboxes then clicked Microsoft Entourage. I get the boxes up and tick the ones I want to import.
    They do drop into Mail, as do the headers of the mails inside each folder but when I click on one it's an empty email. I guess this is something to do with them not being mbox format.
    Any ideas how I save all my Entourage emails in mbox format and then get them into Mail else I am going to be switching between both Applications every day?

    Actually my subject is misleading: It should be "From Entourage on 1 mac to Entourage on another mac." In retrospect I should have posted this message in another thread. Sorry!
    From Entourage drag the mailboxes into a folder on the desktop (it works).
    Airport the folder over to the the other mac.
    Launch Entourage & drag the .eml files (the extension for Entourage mailboxes) from the desktop folder into the Inbox in the Entourage application.
    New mailboxes will automatically be created containing all of the emails in the Entourage window of the original computer.
    This isn't strictly a Mail & Address book issue, perhaps it should have been in the OS 10.4 thread. In any case I hope this is useful to anyone who needs to xfer emails in such a manner. Resending each one would have been brutal as I'm talking several thousands. For tedious reasons too many to list I realized that I needed the mailboxes and their content transferred into Entourage on the other computer.
    I love "drag and drop."

  • Streaming iCloud movie from iPad to Apple TV via AirPlay resulted no picture but sound.

    I notice that movie (iTunes purchased) that store in my iPad 2 when AirPlay to Apple TV 3 everything fine but for iCloud movie streaming (iTunes purchased that store in iCloud), I only manage to get sound from Apple TV 3, no picture. Apple TV only displayed running time. This happen after Apple TV new updates few days ago. Before update, everything is fine.
    I used iPad 2 to stream iCloud movies to Apple TV because the streaming is much faster than using Apple TV 3 own streaming which some times the buffer took quite some times to load.
    And why on my iPad 2 which still running iOS 5.1.1 the AirPlay icon missing the Mirroring on/off icon. In AirPlay I can only choose iPad or Apple TV but without the Mirroring on/off icon.
    If I AirPlay iTunes purchases movies (iCloud Streaming) to Apple TV, my Pioneer AV amp decode Dolby Digital 5.1 but if I connect using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI into Pioneer AV amp, I only manage to get PCM Stereo track.
    If the iTunes purchases movies have been downloaded and store on my iPad 2, then either AirPlay or using Apple Digital AV Adapter via HDMI, my Pioneer AV decode Dolby Digital 5.1
    I planning to purchase Mac Mini for storage iTunes purchases movies and listening music plus some PC users. Should I ditch Apple TV or should I use both ?

    That app has not been enabled for airplay, it is up to the developer to do so
