Syncing Apple TV to watch movies

Hi Everyone,
I have the most up to date ITunes and the new Apple TV, my question is, I have previously bought content from ITunes (TV Shows,Movies) from my MBP and they have been available to watch on my apple TV.
I have some older movies on my MBP that I have converted using iVI that has just automatically added them to ITunes, how do I add them to the Apple TV I dont really want to use home sharing because of the bandwith here in Canada
Is there anyway I can just add them to Apple TV to watch?
Many Thanks!

Hi Welshie, you need to use home sharing for that.  Home sharing uses a LAN on your WiFi and does not use up Internet download bandwidth.

  • IPad volume too low on Apple TV when watching movies

    Hi.
    I have the latest Apple TV, 3rd Gen iPad and Retina MacBook Pro.  If I play any movie through Apple TV using my iPad (using Video App) the volume is often far too low.  This means that I have to turn my Amp/Speakers up (to around +60; +40 is normal) often leading to the sound cutting out altogether and on one occassion blew my amp.
    However, I can put the identical film/file on my MacBook Pro - stream that into my Apple TV and the volume outputs at +40 as normal and everything is fine.
    Also - If I stream TV etc through the iPad and play it onto my Apple TV - again this can be heard no problems at +40.  The same can be said if I stream a youtube video using the iPad (+40 is fine)
    I can only conclude there is something amiss with my iPad or in partic the Video App/settings for films but have no idea how to remedy it.
    Pls can someone help me sort this as my Macbook pro is often left in the office and so I cant use it to watch movies at home all the time
    Thanks

    Have you tried checking or resetting your volume limiter under "music" from the Settings home page.  Scroll down to "Music" and tap "Volume Limit".  Once there you can either turn it off or raise the maximum volume.  If you go to the max it will just turn off the limiter.
    Here's a video from CNET that also explains this easy adjustment.

    Hope this makes it better for you.

  • Can I use a US bought Apple TV to watch movies on an European (PAL/SECAM) TV?

    I have an Apple TV bought in the U.S. I will move to France. Will I be able to watch movies on an European TV (I think they are in PAL/SECAM).
    Thanks

    Re: Airplay. This is currently up to the developers to implement so it has nothing to do with Apple. Hulu have decided against it for legal reasons.
    IOS 5 will bring airplay mirroring with iPad 2 but will have to wait and see to test. It isn't out until the 12th.
    Airplay will work with the Macbook but only through iTunes

  • Can no longer connect with itunes store to watch movies. How come?

    I have been using Apple TV to watch movies on my television set for several months with no problems. The last movie I watched was on Nov. 22/13, but since then every time I want to rent a movie, I am unable to access the itunes store. I get a message saying Unable to sign In and that I should try again later. I have tried about 15 times over 2 days and keep getting the same message. Oddly enough I can actually watch the preview of any movie, but when I go through the process of actually renting the movie, then I get the message that I am unable to access the itunes store. What is the solution? Same problem with NETFLIX.

    Try running iTunes Diagnostics and pasting the output here.
    What firewall software are you running on your computer? Try to set it up again or uninstall it (for testing purposes only).
    Also, take a look at this Apple document -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

  • Watching movies rented in iTunes on Apple TV (Now)?

    Is there a way to sync my rented movies to my Apple TV "today" to watch on my wide screen?

    It seems that not just the old Apple TV owners, but even new purchases will have to wait. If you go to the Apple TV page in the online Apple Store, a little "Movie Rentals coming soon" appears on top. It seems like even if you buy a new one, you have to wait 'til this software update is released. That's pretty bizarre if it's true. In any case, I'm sitting here wondering how they missed the MacWorld deadline to get that update out. Oh well, I'll have to be patient. I'm glad that at least it's a free update and I'll make even more use of my Apple TV. The rentals will be great if the movie companies cooperate and get the titles up quickly. If they do, I'd much rather click "rent" than drive to a store and then have to return it too. On the other hand, if they wait 30 days after the release of a DVD like I read somewhere, I might rather drive down to the rental place. I think that the movie industry is the one who is blowing it for themselves and all of us because they are so ****-bent on the copy protection crap. The music industry finally realized that there's a different, more successful business model than locking down content out of angst-filled greed. Let's see how quick the movie industry learns. We can all get on with our lives and the market will flourish. They're hurting themselves but can't realize it. (sigh)

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver.  Everything works fine when watching movies.  When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

  • Apple TV not syncing with iTunes for purchased movies

    Hi, I purchased two movies on iTunes and neither one is syncing with my Apple TV. All music is syncing perfectly fine.
    The Apple TV is set to Custom Sync. On the movies tab of the Apple TV device in iTunes I have selected sync all movies since the two I am trying to sync are the only two I have purchased. When I click sync it takes about 15 seconds and then finishes with no additional files transferred. I have also tried changing the setting from sync all movies to sync selected with the two movies selected beneath. Neither works for me. Any ideas on why?
    I am using iTunes 8.2

    in iTunes in the left hand panel under "Library" click on "Movies".. in the right hand list... find the movies that you bought. on far right of each row/item in the list is a checkbox... this checkbox must be checked or the movie will not sync... is that checkbox checked?

  • I had downloaded a movie from itunes to my ipad prior to getting Apple TV. Connected Apple TV and set up home sharing. Can I now watch movie that I previously rented on Itunes on Apple TV?

    I had rented and downloaded movie from Itunes previous to purchasing and installing Apple TV. I set up home sharing with all computers and Ipad.
    Can I now watch movie on Apple TV which I had previously downloaded? I tried to access on Apple TV but videos show as empty.

    You cannot access the movie from the Apple TV screen. You would need to use airplay on the iPad to stream the video to the Apple TV.

  • I opened iTunes and the cloud is not syncing up, so i cannot watch movies or tv shows over the cloud, however it was there a few days ago, now randomly gone.

    Are you sure you bought and not rented them?  Renting lets you to access the video for up to 48 hours.

  • Apple TV needs iTunes computer running to watch movies

    when i watch movies from the web with airplay on my apple tv stop every 2 minuts

    I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing.  Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing.  If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
    Not the exact same issue, but very similar.  Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
