PIXAR and APPLETV WHY NO HD RENTALS OR HD PURCHASE!!!!

Pixar and Apple are pretty much joined at the hip. WHY IS IT WE CANT GET-
A GOOD VERSION OF ANY PIXAR TITLE for HD rental or BETTER HD PURCHASE!!
The pixar movies you can buy are compressed to work BOTH ON IPHONE AND APPLETV.
The Result is the MOVIES LOOK LIKE CRAP on APPLETV and good on the iPHONE/ipod touch.
Do I have to stick to ripping and encoding my OWN or Rented COPIES FOR SATISFACTION?

I see "nothing" about them being compressed for iPhone/iPod. They are the same format as any non HD movie.

    hi ! just rented a movie through an apple tv and it stopped, i cant get it back and when go to check rentals its like in process and nothing is hapening still in process, why is that? can u fix it?

    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)

  • Firewall Message with Airtunes and AppleTV

    I am using iTunes 8.02 on a Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. I like to stream my music to my AppleTV (which is running the most recent version of the firmware). My wireless router is an Airport Express (running the latest v6.3 software).
    In iTunes, I see a drop down menu showing me my AppleTV. When I select it, I see a pop up warning message:
    "Your Computers firewall settings will prevent you from using Airtunes.
    Please check your Firewall settings
    Learn More Ignore Open Firewall Settings"
    I click ignore and it works!!
    But Why am I getting this message?
    I have followed the instructions in:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278
    I have even disabled "Stealth Mode" in Tiger's firewall suggested in the forums.
    What am I missing?
    Why do I still get this warning message (yet it works when I click Ignore)?

    Then I would be wireless from G5 and AppleTV to the internet. But I would loose the AirTunes / Express capability?
    You could only have one function at one time. (So you can't use your G5 and Apple TV on the internet while using AirTunes) as (AFAIK) the AirPort express can't be used as a 'wireless access point' at the same time as AirTunes.
    To try and summarize
    If you want to use AirTunes and have your computer and Apple TV connected to the same network with internet connectivity at the same time you can:
    1. Purchase an AirPort Extreme base station.
    2. Connect your cable modem to the AirPort extreme via ethernet, set up a WiFI network and connect your G5 and Apple TV.
    3. Join your AirPort express to the AirPort extreme network via client mode.

  • Apple TV (2nd Generation) -- Why the slow rentals?  WHY?!?

    Why does the current version of Apple TV not work? Why will it stream Netflix, YouTube, and AirPlay items with no problem and yet chokes on iTunes rentals? Why was it marketed to stream rentals? Why is it still Apple’s hobby and not a full-fledged device that, well let’s see… does what the <BAD WORD> it’s supposed to?
    What follows below is a transcript of my experiences after receiving three rental credits because I made the mistake of renting “Elf” in HD for a group of kids and the Apple TV sputtered and stopped playing the video and then told me that said video would be ready to play in 3 hours which prompted me to lodge a complaint with customer support which had no explanation and provided me three credits for my problem <INTENTIONALLY LONG SENTENCE, BUT STILL MUCH SHORTER THAN THE TIME IT TAKES FOR APPLE TV TO LOAD A RENTAL>.
    Rental credit 1 of 3. Used it to rent a movie.
     Connection: Apple TV via WIFI to Airport Extreme (latest model – 802.11n / 5GHz) to internet connection with 15Mbps download speed.
     Result: Pressed play, got loading circle, then message indicating movie would be ready to watch in 2h 40m. Then 3h 2m. Then 2h 35m. Then 2h 56m.
     Overall Experience: Horrendous. <VULGAR WORD> infuriating. Since I pressed play, the 24h window commenced and I wasn’t able to watch the movie the next evening.
     Final Outcome: Rental credit 1 of 3 used to watch nothing. Zero. Zip. 24h window expired with no viewing of film.
    One week later…
    Rental credit 2 of 3. Used it to rent the same movie above trying a different configuration.
     Pre-Rental: Performed hard reset of Apple TV and ensured latest version of software was loaded. Checked all connections.
     Connection: Apple TV via ETHERNET CABLE to Extreme to internet connection with 15Mbps download speed.
     Result: Pressed play, got loading circle, then message indicating movie would be ready to watch in 1h 40m. Then 2h 2m. Then 1h 16m. Then 1h 27m. Ran internet speed test on MacBook. Speed clocked at 14.27Mbps download and 3.39MBps upload.
     Overall Experience: <EXPLETIVE> horrendous. Double <PROFANITY> infuriating. Since I <BEGINS WITH F> pressed <FOUR LETTER BAD WORD> play, the <MOTHER WHO?> 24h window commenced and we weren’t able to watch <ANOTHER WORD FOR #2>. Check that… Couldn’t even watch <ANOTHER WORD FOR #2>. <RHYMES WITH DUCK>!
     Final Outcome: Rental credit 2 of 3 used to watch nothing. Zero. Zip. 24h window expired with no viewing of film.
    Pop quiz… What should I do with rental credit 3?

    ATV2 works just fine with iTunes rentals, as long as your internet is reasonably fast. So help us help you -- what sort of speeds are you getting from your ISP? Not what it's rated at, what is your measured speed (use something like speedtest.net).
    As far as why Netflix, YouTube, and Airplay can work fine, YouTube is not high resolution so you generally wouldn't have a problem unless your internet is very slow. AirPlay doesn't even use the internet, so that's a non-issue here.
    Netflix's streaming technology is different from iTunes -- Netflix will slightly downgrade the video quality if the bandwidth is not good enough. But rentals from iTunes are queued up in your ATV2 with what it estimates is sufficient buffer to not run into problems with a slow network, but if the network is so slow that the buffer isn't big enough you'll have problems, particularly with HD rentals. Also, note that not much Netflix content is HD, so that can be another reason for the difference.

  • HT1551 My Apple TV is streaming anything, the only thing that appears is settings and Computers why?

    Why can't I see the menu to access Netflix, Hulu or itunes?  The only thing that comes up is Computers and Settings, why?

    It's probably lost the internet connection - restart AppleTV and if that doesn't correct it restart your router too.

  • With the new i0s7 update I can't delete the mail in my inbox all at once.  I see there is the edit which allows you to mark all and to the right of that is MOVE and TRASH, why when you mark all you can't access these two options?

    In the new ios7 update, why can't you mark all your messages in the inbox all at once?  The EDIT tab lets you Mark All and off to the right is greyed out "move" and "trash", why can't you Select all and then press TRASH.  It only lets you mark them as Flag, or mark as read.  This *****!

    Hi Scottay777,
    Per pg 52 of the iOS7 User Manual, what you describe should be possible:
    Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select some messages or tap Mark All, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPhone immediately to undo.

  • Home media server for mac, that you can also get to remotely.  Any ideas?  I am out of space on my macbook pro hard drive and appletv.  Need some sort of media server for delivery to macs, ipods, ipads, etc.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have been using my macbook pro as a home media server, hosting most content on the macbook with ipod touch, ipads, and appletv streaming/sharing content.  I have run out of space on both the macbook pro and the apple tv and am looking to moving the content to a home media server.  Any thoughts/suggestions?  I'd like something that I can access remotely too.  I have an old slingbox and also have a static IP address.
    Any thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome!

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • Photo Quality Airplay and AppleTV 2

    Hi and thanks for reading,
    I just bought a 50'' Full HD TV and made some test with my Apple TV 2.
    I noticed that by Air Playing my iPhone photoes I have not the same definition and quality that I have by uploading my photos from my iPhone to the TV buildin photo viewer, which on the contrary makes them looking great.
    Is this due to the fact that with AppleTV 2 photoes aswell are mirrored in 720p instead of 1080p?
    Can I expect to fix the issue by upgrading to an AppleTV 3 @ 1080p?
    Many tnxs

    There are several variables here at work.
    Wireless vs Wired
    Video source and original quality,
    Internet Speed.
    Your difference between wired and wireless is really high. Unless your wifi is heavily used, or you have interference, the difference is too high to be natural. There's probably something else there cutting your bandwidth in half when you go wireless.
    The higher quality a video is, the larger its file size is going to be. Which means its going to need a better internet connection to stream reasonably, otherwise its going to stop continuously to buffer. This should in general terms not affect the actual quiality of the video, only the streaming experience.
    Some sites adjust the video quality depending on the internet connection to provide a smoother stream at the cost of picture quality. 
    Where are you viewing these Tv shows from? If Netflix is satisfactory in terms of quality, then the MacBook is not the issue.
    As far as your speed goes, its average, even a little low I would say but shouyld still be capably of streaming standard definition movies correctly. .

    Finally to confirm: the screen resolution of the ipad has no effect on the viewed picture quality on the HD TV using airplay and AppleTV?
    That is correct. The screen resolution is just that. It does not affect the video output to a TV as that is more dependant on the video type. All 3 iPads currently on the market will output an HD movie at the same 1080p resolution.

    I have a question about using multiple ipads in our school.  Each of our teachers have a iPad and AppleTV in their classroom.  The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

  • I keep getting a pop up stating "uninstall set" it keep coming up over and over, why?

    I keep getting a pop up stating "uninstall set" it keep coming up over and over, why?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:

  • Can you do keynote or PPT presentations via wifi and AppleTV?

    Can you do keynote or PPT presentations via wifi and AppleTV?

    Not from your mac/PC, but keynote presentations from an iPad 2 with AirPlay are quite simply brilliant. Not only do you have full control of the keynote in your hands, but besides seeing the slides that everyone else is seeing, right in front of you as you look at your audience, you have your notes too.
