New Apple TV and cant watch movies

My wife bought me a new Apple TV for Christmas, I get it all plugged up, install the new itunes, have home sharing on.  I go and load all my music and everything works like a charm.  I then go and load some movies, go to the TV to watch one, click on the movie and a black screen comes up with a spinning wheel, I assume it is trying to load, until 5 mins later and nothing has changed.  I go back to itunes make sure I loaded everything right, can watch the movie in itunes just fine, go back to the tv and the same black screen.  Again, my music works just fine, but can't seem to get the movies to work at all.  Any suggestions out there ?

So this is where it gets confusing for me. There are two types of component inputs on my tv, Ycbcr and ypbpr. Ycbcr is digital and ypbpr is analog. I used the Ycbcr with my old apple tv which gave me a better signal.
Is it possible that this cable:

Would work with Ycbcr because the hdmi output on the apple tv 2 is digital only?
Then the next question is if hdmi digital over Ycbcr will work with hdcp. I am currently using a MacBook for my tv needs and do not have the new apple tv so I cannot test this out, but I have debated about the new apple tv, which would work nice with my iPad and airplay but my tv does not have hdmi input, even though it is 720p capable.
Apple probably didn't include the hdmi analog ability because it doesn't support hdcp. Ironic though since jobs stated years ago he is sick of drm tech.

    Yes.
    Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

  • I changed my apple ID and cant play movies/songs associated with old my old Apple ID.

    I changed the ID associated with my itunes account, but now when I try to open any movies or songs purchased under the old ID I'm prompted to authorize my computer for the old Apple ID. I dont have access to the old email address and cannot remember what the password was for that ID. I even tried using my current Apple ID/password with no luck.

    Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
    The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV (with the exception of the Apple TV 1) does not sync, it streams everything from your library on your computer or from the internet.

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    Hello, I installed my new Apple TV and successfully completed the configuration (Wireless network, Apple ID, and others) yet I am always in the Computers and Setting page… can’t move to the main page – any idea on what and how, please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
    Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
    Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
    If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

  • I rented a movie on apple tv and while watching it kept stopping... i never finished the movie cause it wasn't playing

    I rented a movie on apple tv and while watching it kept stopping... i never finished the movie cause it wasn't playing.. Now what do I do.  My netflix wouldn't play either.  Will I be able to get my rented movie back?

    What is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD rentals, you can turn off HD in the settings if on a slow connection
    You can also rent in iTunes and stream to ATV
    Wifi or ethernet?
    Are you using your ISP's DNS?

    Sign out from the new Apple ID with iTunes on your computer and sign in with your old iTunes account with iTunes.

  • I just bought a new apple tv and it said that it takes 12 hours to download a rented movie

    I just bought a new apple tv and it said it takes 12 hours to download a rented movie

    It needs to load a portion before playback can start, the time it takes is dependent on your network.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net (at least 6mbps needed for instant HD)
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Reboot ATV and router

  • Cant watch movies on TV

    Hello, Wonder if anyone can help me.
    I used to have my iMac hooked up to my TV and could watch movies loading  my dvd into a slot on my iMac.
    Because I moved I had to disassemble the whole sistem.Now I'm putting together but I cant get the movie onto my TV.
    I kinda remember that after hooking up the image cable from my iMac to my TV, I had to make a change on my computer.I dont remember what because was a long time ago but I slightly remember that I had to "shre" or spmething like that to allow the image to be seen on the TV.Do you know what I'm talking about?
    Thanks a lot, any khelp will be appreciated.

    Hi NeedhelpAapl,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If movies or tv shows aren't playing in iTunes, I'd first make sure that the computer is authorized with the Apple ID used to make iTunes Store purchases. You may want to try de-authorizing and authorizing the computer again:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    You can also report an issue with purchases by following the steps in this article:

    You could use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • How to I get rid of a misspelt apple ID in Settings-icloud on iphone 5, when is still wants Account vertification. No password works on a misspelt Apple ID and cant delete account nor switch off Find my phone.  What to do?

    When I received my iphone and set up an Apple ID and password. I then went to seetings - icloud and made an typing error in the apple ID.  The email address is wrong, so the password wont work.   The icloud account cant do anything until I vertify the account, the account which now has the misspelt email Apple ID.
    I have just created a new Apple ID and password.  However, I cant do anything with the Setting - icloud because I cant vertify the misspelt Apple ID. 
    I have tried to delete the account but you cant unless you have the password.  There is no password for this misspelt Apple ID!!??
    So what do I do to get out I this mess?

    If you can't get the account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to the account's security questions ?) then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account?

    Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
    As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID.  Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account?  It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts.  If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with defect cables
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
