To download a movie on my new apple tv i need to be on the ready to play screen?

To download a movie on the new Apple Tv 1080p, I have to be in the the ready to play screen, It takes Forever to download a movie, the other day I download a movie and didn't have to be waiting on that screen, I was watching DirecTV and the next day when the movie was Fully Download I Watch the movie. Does this Apple TV has a small hard drive to save at least one or two "rented movies"? Thanks...

No.
The black AppleTVs have no hard drives.
They have some solid state memory to buffer movies but it's not like a download that stays on the device.
The memory is recycled for other tasks when you use AppleTv for other tasks and this happens without warning.
You need:
2.5 Mbps internet to watch SD near instantly, 6 Mbps for 720p HD and 8 Mbps for 1080p HD.
If you find downloading far too slow you could reduce to 720p or SD in itunes store settings for the unit, or alternatively download to iTunes on your computer instead then play back on AppleTV under teh Home Shared Computer icon.

How should I move to a new Apple ID?

Hey everyone!
With lots of problems with my new iPhone 4s, studying Apple's devices and services such as Apple ID and iCloud,
it's time for me to create new Apple ID. I have made a lot of mistakes... New Apple ID! :)
So here's my question:
How to move to new Apple ID (which isn't created yet) properly?
I mean, how to save everything which I can save from my actual/old Apple ID? (And transfer/move to a new one?)
Apps, Songs, SMSs, iMessages, Calls History, Calendar, Contacts, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, apps' and games' data, Game Center account, Notifications, Notes, Passbook, Mail, Safari History and Bookmarks, Mail, FaceTime, Dictaphone's recordings, iMessages account and everything that I didn't write...?
(Like for example accounts which are using my Apple ID [such as Apple Discussions Account])?
+I want to change Apple ID, because I have downloaded apps from few iTunes Stores (Poland, U.S., Germany, Japan) and it is all messed up...
Also, should I completely restart my iPhone (like, to 'activate your device' window) or just log out from my old/actual Apple ID and log in to new one in iTunes Store on iPhone?
Maybe there's a different way to untie my apps and other purchases from my Apple ID? (For example turning off iCloud?)
Sorry for not meshing it a little, I am really bad at it :(

Okay, so I can create new Apple ID and act like it is my first, but I can use the same email on my new Apple ID only after changing it on the old ID? I get it.
Now, how to delete every important data or accounts on that old Apple ID to know it can be gone forever, without any consequences for my iPhone/new Apple ID? (I want to break up with it, like it never even existed)
By that I mean: turn off iCloud or delete all my data stored in iCloud, delete game data and account in Game Center to use Game Center on the new Apple ID, things like that (Get rid of old ID forever and delete all it's data from iCloud, iTunes, or smth...)
What should I do to go to 'Activate your phone' screen (start everything from beginning)?
Also, isn't there any way to not lose all stuff (except for apps, music) which I have written before?
SMS, iMessage messages, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, Dictaphone recordings, etc.?
Or is it possible to have it all on the computer and transfer them later back to iPhone, on the new ID?
Thank you for your time and support!
I really appreciate it! :)

HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

No, you will not loose anything. However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Cheers,

Do I have to have wifi when downloading a movie on my new iPad. It has cellular and wifi but I don't have wifi where I am at now.

Can I download a movie on my new iPad with just 3G I don't have wifi where I am?

You don't "need" Wifi, however unless your 3G is substantially fast and you have an unlimited data plan it will not be practical to try and download a movie through 3G.
Movies are really large files, 1.2 to 1.5GB in size double that for HD versions. So be prepared if you don't have an unlimited Data plan and a good connection to pay a lot and wait quite a while for the download.

Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another. Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.

i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
HTH!

Apps and music are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If you don't want to continue to get that message, delete the apps and purchase them again with your new Apple ID.

TS5223 i have change my name and my icloud is still using the old account. how do i change it to my new apple ID on my iphone without deleting the backup already in icloud

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My new Apple TV won't be recognized by my IPhone Air-Play. I made sure the home sharing is on and that both Devises are I the same network. The IPhone see the other two Apple TVs at my house, but for some reason it won't see the third one I just added.

Check to see if AirPlay is actually turned on. (in Settings on the ATV)
Also, make sure it's not sitting directly next to your router; interference
