Repeating Movies On Apple TV
I know I can repeat 1 particular SONG on my Apple TV but is it possible to loop a movie in the same fashion?
My TiVo HD box has a life-time subscription (transferred from an older analog Series 2) and recording shows is incredibly easy with its interface, so I will still use that for recording TV shows.
My main interest now is looking at downloadable movies. I just read a review of Vudu on Crave. That sounds like it is a strong competitor of Apple TV in terms of movie quality. Also the rentals are cheaper with a bigger library. Crave will do a head-to-head comparison of Vudu to the software-upgraded ATV soon. I think I'll hold off on my decision until this settles out more.

Purchased Movies on Apple TV 2
I purchased a movie via Apple TV. My understanding is I can watch the movie on other IOS devices as well as in iTunes. The purchased movie shows up on Apple TV, but I can't find it available on my iPad or in iTunes. Am I missing something obvious here on how to play the movie on the other devices. I have Home Sharing set up. Streaming any content, purchased or otherwise from OS X iTunes to Apple TV works fine.
I did a quick search to, just to check my assumption that they should show up in the iTunes Store on the mobile device, and they should.
Another thought I had is that not all movie studios have signed up for the re-download deal, although I would have thought that any movies that were not re-downloadable would not be offered for sale on the Apple TV. I do think however that since it is under the purchased section on the Apple TV that this is probably not the case here.
One final thought on the matter is that iTunes may currently be having a few problems. I clicked on a movie to purchase this morning, in order to test out an answer I was giving to another user, thinking that I could cancel it. I got a dialogue box about three security questions, clicked not now and the movie started downloading, never even asked for my password. I repeated this with another movie, I got the box asking for my password, clicked cancel and the movie still downloaded. Not good, but it may indicate that something is amiss at this moment in time. -
How do I loop a movie for Apple TV
I have looked at the archives and I cannot get it to work the way it is explained.
I have saved a QT movie with Loop checked. It loops fine after it is saved before I send it to iTunes
When I send it to iTunes it will not loop. For some reason when I create a Playlist with the movie in it and ask it to repeat it does not show up in the playlist when I want to send it to Apple TV.
Any help would be appreciated..I'm getting frustrated!
Thanks
KrisHow did you do that?

How can I watch an Apple rented movie via Apple TV?
Continue to have a freezing problem with rented movies from Apple. It *****.
What I ended up doing was to back all the out of the choice sequence and the start the movie from the beginning again. We were able to watch one hour of the movie and then it froze again. After repeated efforts to get it to continue, we gave up and went to bed.
For the recoded, the Internet connection was fine. Netflix worked flawlessly. Only the Apple movie connection was dead.
How do I get my rental money back? I won't be able to finish watching within the required 24 hour period after having started it last night...
I thought this problem would go away after having the FIOS service installed. A 10+ Mgb speed stream should feed a movie in jig time. It's certainly helped with download times on software and Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo streaming. Not Apple, which seems not to know how to buffer.
Frustrated,

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it?
How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in. -

I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV. Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library. When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it and asks if I want to rent it again. No, I just want to watch it.
Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer. I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room. Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

I purchased a movie on apple tv. I then went to my pc and clicked "check for available downloads", but the movie is not there. I don't have enough storage to put the movie on icloud, and i refuse to pay for more storage to move something that i already paid for. any suggestions?
It looks like the answer is to log out of iTunes and then back in. That allowed Rentals to show up in my Movies Library. I rebooted about three times which didn't work. I closed the application and restarted it many times which didn't work.
The solution was to log out of my username and then back in. That worked.

When trying to update Aps, my iPhone repeatedly rejects my apple ID password. I reset it, and it still rejects it. I've reset it on my computer, phone still rejects it . . . tired of this.
Are you positive you're using the exact Apple ID to update these apps that was used to originally ontain them? You can verify such by right-clicking one the apps, in your iTunes library, & selecting "Get Info". This will show you the Apple ID used to originally obtain the app...does it match on your phone?

How to prevent movies on Apple TV from disappearing?
I used to be able to see all of my movies on Apple TV via home sharing. Lately, they keep disappearing. The only remedy i have found is to go into iTunes and "get Info" one by one on each movie and then it reappears on Apple TV. I don't change a thing. The simple action of "get Info" is enough. Anybody have a suggestion on a better way to resolve? I don't think going throiugh several hundred movies one by one is a great solution.

BTW - i dont think this has anything to do with it but i will share that all the movies reside on asynology NAS. The reason i doubt that the NAS has anything to do with the issue, i can paly any of them on iTunes with no problems. And yes, all of them are labeled with the media type = 'Movie'
Thanks in advance for any help offered.Totem wrote:
The idea of storing songs, movies and photographs on the ATV is to allow the end-user to turn off their computer and just use the device like a stereo/video component.
Ah! Of course... I wasn't even considering this b/c I'm one of these people who almost never has his computer off b/c I work from home and also do a lot of web surfing, etc. but obviously many many people have the computer shut off much more often than it is on.
So, alright. I see why the hard drive is there... it just seems so tempting for it to be able to be more of a stand alone device, more like another computer with iTunes on it rather than like a big iPod that sits under my TV. I guess I'll file that away in my tech wish list...
