Moving purchases done on an ATV in streaming mode to my PC

I have chosen to use my ATV in streaming mode as I had many issues in Sync mode. Would appreciate some hints on the following challenge:
I have purchased movies using my ATV. These purchased movies are not showing up in iTunes on my PC. How do I move these across to my PC in order to ensure I have a backup and be able to transfer them to my iPod Touch?

you need to have sync mode turned on for items to auto-sync back to itunes from appletv.
turn it on, but then choose "custom sync". this will allow items to sync back to itunes, but will keep the 100% stream that you require.
this is how mine is set up.

  • Can't Get ATV to Stream from iTunes

    OK, I can't get my ATV to stream from my iTunes. when I initially set up the ATV, it synced to my iTunes. I actually don't recall any option to sync or stream, but makbe I missed it.
    Anyway, the help says the following:
    "Playing your iTunes library on your TV using Apple TV
    If you have an Apple TV, you can stream items from your iTunes library to your TV. You can also sync your Apple TV with your iTunes library so that content is automatically loaded onto your Apple TV.
    Syncing your Apple TV with iTunes
    If your Apple TV is synced with an iTunes library, it is already set up for streaming. You can also stream items from an iTunes library that isn't synced with your Apple TV. You can stream from up to five iTunes libraries, plus the library the Apple TV is synced with.
    To set up your Apple TV for streaming:
    Make sure the computer you want to stream from is on, and iTunes is open.
    On your Apple TV, choose Sources, choose "Connect to New iTunes," and make a note of the passcode displayed.
    In iTunes, select the Apple TV with "Click to set up" next to it, and enter the passcode.
    While content is being streamed, the computer must remain on and iTunes must remain open. If you stream content while Apple TV is syncing, the sync pauses until streaming stops.
    You can stream from only one iTunes library at a time. To stream from a different library, choose Sources on your Apple TV and then choose another source."
    Now, here is the problem:
    1. It says "If your Apple TV is synced with an iTunes library, it is already set up for streaming." NOT. No where do I see any stream or share selection. Only sync.
    2. It says "You can stream from up to five iTunes libraries, plus the library the Apple TV is synced with." Again, not that I can see.
    3. It says "On your Apple TV, choose Sources, choose "Connect to New iTunes," and make a note of the passcode displayed." I don't have a "Sources" option anywhere in ATV. How am I supposed to select it?? All I have is a "Computers" selection, which shows me my current selected computer for synching, and another option to share a library, with a new passcode. But, only to a second computer, not my main one (where all the files are!).
    I don't understand. It's like it's referring to some other device, with different menus. Now, I have ver 2.0 of ATV, and 7.6 of iTunes. WHAT IS GOING ON?
    I purchased this thing to take advantage of streaming, for photos and video. I only bought the 32 GB unit, but even the 160 would not be bug enough to have all my photos and HD video. So, streaming is a must. But, it would be nice to also sync the music files so I can listen to them without having the computer on. If the thing functed like the manual says, I would be happy. But, it doesn't.
    HELP!!

    Good news- this is all so much simpler that you think. (I know because I too struggled with it for days.) It turns ou that you have to do NOTHING to set up streaming with 2.0. Once you have synced your computer, just leave your computer running and on your TV using ATV you will see whatever movies you have imported into iTunes in the movie menu even if you have not synced them. The only way that you can tell that they are not synced is that when you select them to play the streaming bar will appear briefly at the bottom of your TV screen to indicate that it is being synced. If you turn your computer off the movie that you have chosen would not even appear in the menu.
    Hope this helps- it is too bad apple doesn't give more info about using ATV!

  • File .dv and aTV in streaming

    What are doing wrong ??
    Original file is .dv (FCE) and end file is .m4v (QT). I try too with VisualHub and same results, bad. Size 4:3 PAL
    THX in advance

    Does the file play back fine in iTunes?
    Sync the problem file to test if it plays ok from the hard drive.
    AppleTV is fussy about the movie format, and you ideally need either h.264 or mpeg-4 file as follows:
    =========================================================
    Video formats supported
    * H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    * iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels or 640 by 480 pixels
    * MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    Audio formats supported
    * AAC (16 to 320 Kbps); protected AAC (from iTunes Store); MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps); MP3 VBR; Apple Lossless; AIFF; WAV
    ==========================================================
    It might be that your converted file is close to these specs but just a bit too high a bitrate for streaming to work ok - what are the encoded m4v file bitrates and other parameters?

    I don't see a photo stream choice in my iCloud on my iPad. How do I restore it

    Insufficient information. A few questions that may help somebody here help you:
    Does your use of the term "restore" indicate it used to be there and now is missing, or have you not tried it before?
    What model iPad do you have?
    What version of iOS does it run?

  • In app purchases don't work on windows app

    Hi,
    I've just put my app online in the Windows Store. (Invader Magazine)
    Everything works great, exept one thing. My in app purchases don't work. I think i've done everything right.
    I followed exectly these steps:
    - Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store
    - In my Dev windows account I've made an in app purchase for each folio
    - I published my folio's wat the same product ID as V31 en set the status on public, retail.
    I have done all these steps, but my app is empty, I see no folio.
    I can only see the folio's when I publish them en set the status on public, free.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi,
    In-app purchases on Windows work differently than on iOS. You shouldn't be making in-app purchase entries for each folio in your Windows Store listing.
    See Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS publishing guide for Windows Store for complete details on how in-app purchasing is different on Windows, and how to set it up correctly in the store. Once you have your consumable in-app purchase entry created for your store listing you'll need to request an updated custom viewer that incorporates that Windows Store product ID, then resubmit the app to Windows for approval.

  • Users moving purchasing groups

    Hello,
    We have some users in our Org structure that have moved purchasing groups. It appears that when they move purchasing groups, they can no longer access their purchase orders that were previously created in their old purchasing group.
    Does anyone know if this is SAP standard and how we can get the users to see their 'old' purchase orders without moving them back to their previous purchasing group? 
    We are using SRM version 5.0.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lisa Pallas

    You will have to assign the relevant security role or i think you can assign the pgrp in the respective users attribute.
    I hope this helps.

  • Stop during viewing of HD-movie in stream mode

    Ladies and gentlemen,
    I had problems with Apple TV
    Chart of my connecting:
    *Apple TV <–> AirPort Extreme (802.11n ( n-only )) <–> iMac 24 (C2D) <–> external HDD WD MyBook 750 gb (FW800)* .
    I convert a HD-movie from the .mkv ( +KLCP Matroska File , Video: MPEG4, (H264) 1280x544, 23.98fps, Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo, filesize 4,5 gb+ )
    I convert a movie in Visualhub. In the parameters of this program specify that a format on an output must correspond the format of Apple TV. I get a Mp4-file
    I plug Apple TV in the ”Streaming” mode, аnd begin to look a movie. Some time all shows fine, but in 10-15 minutes play is stopped (a picture is frozen, sound is stopped), after press pause/play, I can again continue viewing, but after a while problem will repeat again.
    I noticed that precipices were halted 50% film, and stops take a place only at the active stages of film (moving car, explosions, or any other quickly-moving objects)
    I will be beholden for elucidations of my question.
    With kind regards
    Message was edited by: megadzilla

    Actually that isn't what I suggested.
    I suggested you convert from matroska to DV and then from from DV to .m4v
    If there is an error in your conversion from matroska to h364 with visualhub that error won't disappear by reconverting it.
    If you don't wish to try what I suggested, open one of the files you are having trouble with in QT, open the inspector window and tell us what it says, I suspect it will seem OK but we can have a look and see.
    Of course your problem could be a slow network, but if you don't wish to diagnose your problem it likely won't get solved.

  • How to enable chunked streaming mode using OSB config file

    Hi All,
    Is there way through which we can enable and disable the chunked streaming mode option in Business service (of OSB) through OSB configuration file?? If yes, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Aditya

    Hi Aditya,
    I don't think it can be done dynamically the way you described... But I believe you can create two business services, one with chunked=on and the other with chunked=off and route to one of them dynamically according to your configuration...
    Cheers,

  • Ipod Touch 5th Gen - Music videos contained in playlists don't display in full screen mode

    I am using an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I have music videos contained in different playlist that are utilized for a class where they are displayed on a large screen through a projector. When I playback the videos through the playlists, they don't appear in full screen mode. I didn't experience this issue with previous versions of the Touch. If I access the videos individually through the video icon, they display correctly.

    That is how it works now. Make a suggestion to Apple to fix it by going here:
