Purchased Movie on iTunes won't sync to Apple TV (Gen 1)

I recently purchased (via a code from the BluRay box) Thor: The Dark World.  It plays fine on my Apple TV (without the Harddrive), but when I try to get it to sync to my original ATV (with a Harddrive) it will not sync.  Other movies work fine.  I've tried deleting it from iTunes and then re-downloading, but it still will not sync.  I can check the box for it to sync, but when I hit sync, I see it briefly state that it is syncing, then nothing happens and it is not on my ATV.  Any ideas on how to get this to sync?

maybe it's because the movie is in 1080P and the 1g appletv don't support that
if possible try converting it to 720P using handbrake (free converter tool)

  • Rented Movies from iTunes won't transfer to Apple Tv

    Hey guys,
    I'm on a pc...I know it's a swear word hear but I'm trying so hard to talk the wife into an iMac...getting close..LOL. Anyway, I've rented a couple movies via iTunes on my pc (running vista...cough cough..hack hack!!) and can't transfer them to my apple tv. When I click on the apple tv in the device column I only get summary and photo tabs. All the software for iTunes and Apple Tv are up to date and I have also deauthorized and reauthorized my itunes libary. Can anyone offer some help to get these to my apple tv. I really don't want to watch them on my computer screen.
    Thanks
    Stephan

    Morning athos441,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The black unit is the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV.
    The 1st gen Apple TV (silver) is the one that you can move things over to the internal HD on the Apple TV.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

  • Cannot sync ATV1 Purchased Movies with iTunes

    I have recently purchased 5 movies via my ATV1.  I cannot sync or get my purchased
    movies into itunes.  They are not in my itunes folder and I have no available downloads.
    They used to always automatically appear in my iTunes folder, but not anymore.  The TV
    shows I've purchased are syncing, just not movie purchases.
    I have the most recent ATV1 update and most recent iTunes update.  Any help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • I purchased movies through iTunes and downloaded them to my PC as well as synced my entire library (including 'all films') to my iPad. However, I cannot seem to find / view the movies on my iPad unless 'Home Sharing' is on?

    No. Homeshare let's you view your iTunes library or others on your network.
    Movies should be in the video app on the home screen. If they are not there, then make sure when your iPad is plugged into iTunes on your computer...the video tab is checked to sync what you want..make sure you hit apply after. You should see the movies transferring to your iPad in the status bar on the top of iTunes.

  • Itunes won't sync music to my iPhone5!!

    I just updated to OSX Mavericks and I have the latest update for iTunes, but when i sync my phone to my macbook pro and try to put my music on it, nothing happens. When it gets to part 4 or 5 (whichever one is the part where the music get's sync'd) it just skips over it and finishes. I have been stuck for so long, I have tried looking at support sites etc... but nothing is working. I tried downloading songs from itunes, and from the internet and nothing will sync. Advice would be greatly appreciated!! i am so frustrated, i have tried syncing over wifi and thru the cord but it doesn't make a difference. it's like this happened out of nowhere. thanks in advance!

    ''I was experiencing the same problem and tried all sorts of stuff, including items in this thread with no luck, this is what ultimately worked for me.
    1.  Download iFunBox (or other utility that gives you access to the filesystem)
    2.  Delete the _iTunes_Control folder
    3.  Delete everything in the Purchases folder
    4.  Force a sync in itunes
    5.  Profit.
    So far I haven't seen any weird problems, other than my songs now sync.''

  • How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

    Hey Hey! 
    Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
    I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
    How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space. 
    Thanks!

    Deborah,
    You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes.  The syncing process is only one way.  However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder.  From there you can copy them back over to your PC. 
    Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

  • ITunes won't sync music to my iPad

    iTunes won't transfer all the music from my computer to my iPad. The sync starts, it transfers about 500 of 2500 songs, then just stops.
    I have tried disconnecting wifi, reinitialising the iPad and practically every other tip I could find on this forum: no joy.
    Just seems incredible that the music I have (mostly) paid for on iTunes won't sync from one device to another. Are Apple trying to get me to pay for iTunes Match?!
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    I don't use and never have usediTunes Match, I almost never buy music from iTunes, and I can sync all of music just fine - purchase and imported from CD's.
    Have you tried syncing with the cable if you are using WiFi? Do you have enough storage space on the iPad? Could it be that the sync stops in the same place very time indication a corrupt song or album? Have you tried syncing the music in bits and pieces - simply as a troubleshooting step?

  • ITunes won't sync all of my music to iPhone 4s

    iTunes won't sync all of the music, it is skipping random songs, they still come up on the Music on the phone but cannot be played.. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.

    Was this music purchased from iTunes or ripped? I have had problems in the past when I changed Apple IDs, and the content purchased through my previous account would not sync. If memory serves, I think it was an issue to do with the Mac not being authorised to access my old account. Signing in with my old account and authorising it resolved it. Not sure if this helps, but thought I would share.

  • Unable to download purchased movie in iTunes

    I am unable to download a purchased movie from itunes. The download icon spins as if it were downloading but it is not. I am connected to the internet so this is not the problem. I have purchased other movies but on this one I am "stuck in spin".
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have the same problem with the '6 iTunes Downloads Available' but was never able to solve it witht the iTunes support, nor the Apple Store Genius bar.  I went through 3 people with the iTunes Online support and in the end they couldn't figure out why my computers (macbook pro 1" and brand new mac mini) iTunes wouldn't download the available downloads.  They are 6 ringtones that I purchased and downloaded successfully on an iphone 4.  Then I took my iphone 4 into the Apple Store and they replaced it and I hadn't synced it to my computer so I lost them.  Then I emailed support and they sent the 6 ringtones to my iTunes account and my computers, iphones and ipads couldn't download them.  In the end they ended up crediting my account with 10 song credits that I could use because they couldn't solve the problem after 6 months.  So now there they sit evertime I'm in iTunes '6 iTunes Downloads Available'.  Sorry I don't have the answer I've tried everything on my own, even erasing my phones and computer then reinstalling everything.

  • How do I move purchased movies from itunes to the cloud to free up space on my laptop?

    How do I move purchased movies from itunes to the icloud?  I only want them off my laptop (library), as I need more space.  I want to keep them on the ipad they have been moved to.

    Delete them from the local computer.  Nothing gets moved.  If the content was purchased from iTunes it should be available for download again in the future.

    If the device is synced with iTunes on the computer and the content is deleted from iTunes it will also be removed from the device.
    Realistically, if you want to keep the content, keep it stored locally.  Purchase an external drive to store the content on.  Keep in mind that iOS devices are NOT backup devices, they merely mirror the content in the iTunes library on the computer.

  • I'm based in the UK. Can I purchase movies from iTunes on my Mac then watch them on Apple TV?

    As I'm based in the UK I can't purchase movies on the Apple TV 3. If, however, I purchased a movie on my Mac or iOS device, would I then be able to watch it through the Apple TV?

    If you buy movies on iOS devices make sure you transfer them to iTunes to allow you to backup - until we in UK get movies in the cloud this is pretty important.
    To be honest I only purchase movies in itunes (or on the original AppleTV which allows it as well as music browsing/purchase and itunes LP/Extras playback!) as I'm useless about syncing iOS devices.

  • I switched from iphone 3GS to an iphone 4. Now itunes won't sync my apps, music,  etc

    I believe you have to authorize the iPhone 4 in iTunes

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • My iTunes won't sync and I can't download an app onto my iPhone 4S. It's been really bad since the update!

    Hi,
    Two problems here guys
    1. My iTunes won't sync. Since the update to iTunes 11 it refuses to transfer purchaces from my iPhone 4S and won't put stuff from my phone into my iTunes library and I can't put anything on my phone through my laptop. Both the laptop and the phone say that they are syncing but nothing actually happens
    2. As the Avengers Initiative app is currently free I decided to try and download it straight on to my phone, but every time I try it says I don't have enough memory, even though I deleted stuff especially so I could download this and I now have 3.6 GB free, so I downloaded it on to my iTunes on my computer, but of course my iTunes won't sync
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice and it hasn't worked!
    Somebody help please

    Same problem, any assistance would be appreciated.
    thanks
