Transfer purchased HD iTunes movie from Apple TV to iMac
Hello,
If I purchase a HD movie from iTunes can it be transferred to my iMac? Then, I would like to take that copy and put on my Macbook (with USB stick?) which is in turn synced to a second Apple TV. All of my hardware shares the same iTunes account.
If I can't do this with HD movies, can I do it with standard format?
Thanks in advance.
to expand on my previous post:
If I purchase a HD movie from iTunes can it be transferred to my iMac?
again, yes. iTunes should be set up as a syncing library, though. purchases made on the TV should sync back to the synced iTunes library automatically on the next sync.
Then, I would like to take that copy and put on my Macbook (with USB stick?)
either using a USB stick or via your network. you could also set up _*Home Sharing*_ on both Macs.

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I have purchased MOVIES from Apple iTunes and want to know how I can burn them to my DVD so I can watch/view the movies on my TV's located in my house? Pls post what you know or works for you - I see the movies on iTunes but am unable to locate them in any folder on my computer??? Thank you!
PeteSo what is meant here is spend more money - wrong answer.
For that reason most people prefer to buy movies on DVD. They are easily shared, foolproof, and super easy to use. I love Apple TV and iTunes for music and TV shows, but I would never purchase a movie that was not on an optical disc.
When I head out-of-town I can grab a couple of DVDs to watch on my new MacBook Pro during the flight. Easy and uncomplicated.
DVDs offer another advantage. You can watch your movie without depending upon a complicated and delicate infrastructure. Also, movies are frequently censored for political correctness (Star Wars is a recent example). Despite public pressure for a release, the Disney movie “Song of the South” remains banned. Even cartoons like Johnny Quest are now censored. Only people who purchased physical copies years ago have them as they were originally produced.
When you possess a physical copy of the movie the PC patrol can't mess with it. -
Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV
Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV
You need to establish if it was 1080p or 720p HD you downloaded.
If it's 1080p it will not play at all on AppleTV1 - the hardware is not powerful enough to decode 1080p h264 (or 720p above 25fps). When AppleTv1 came out most items were SD only and with time more 720p HD stuff became available. 1080p content cm after AppleTV 1 and 2 were replaced by AppleTV 3.
AppleTV2 can process but not display 1080p - it is stuck to 720p output.
AppleTV1 could only process 720p max, but could always upscale on output to 1080p!
Your iTunes Preference should determine what quality you are downloading/renting.

How to best transfer a rented iTunes movie to your Apple TV 3
Hi,
My parents recently purchased the newest version of the Apple TV. Unfortauntely, it's set up on their downstairs TV on the other end of a two floor house, with the modem / router very far away from it. For this reason I believe, they have terribly long download times whenever they purchase something. My Mom, for instance, purchased season 2 of 'Downtown Abbey' and it took over a day to download. Last night they tried to rent 'Contrband' and they were told they had a 5 hour wait.
I've read that they can purchase and rent movies from their iTunes (which is upstairs in the same office with the router), so it would download much quicker. But the way Apple says to get this on the Apple TV, is to actually plug that device in (how would I plug in an HDMI device to my mom's HDMI-less computer?) and move the rented movie over. This documentation seems vague and sort of wrong. That would work for a device like an iPad or an iPhone, but not an Apple TV.
Being that the Apple TV is on the WiFi and that she's logged into her iTunes account on both devices, shouldn't the Apple TV just read what's rented / purchased on her iTunes and then make it available for her downstairs? She's not willing to test this theory out yet, because they're being sort of stubborn and are just sticking to Netflix Instant. So before I make her Rent something from her iTunes that she then has no way to get onto her Apple TV, is there a specific way to do this correctly?
Would having her enable the Cloud sort this problem? I don't even know if Rented HD movies go in the Cloud.
Thanks.Movies rented in iTunes are not available in iCloud.
Enable Home Sharing on AppleTV (under Computers icon) and in iTunes.
Your itunes library should then list under Computers.
When a rental movie has fully downloaded to iTunes you will see a new Rentals row in the selected itunes library media categories along with Music, TV Shows etc available in the iTunes library.
The movie must fully download to iTunes, the computer and itunes must be running.
The question is, will this actually speed anything up? Easiest thing to do is try it and see.
Many movies are not available in HD in iTunes to rent/buy so an SD download will be quicker but you can tell AppleTV to buy/rent in SD under Settings.
The main benefit will be once a rental is downloaded it won't have to restart downloading if you don't watch and use AppleTV for something else, or start and then come back to a movie.
If the router <--> AppleTV wifi connection is rate limiting for internet streaming rather than the internet connection speed, nothing will have changed as itunes still has to get the same quality rental (SD, 720pHD, 1080pHD) stream from the router to the AppleTV.
SD needs 2.5Mbps, 720p 6 Mbps, 1080p 8 Mbps or so to stream near instantly.
Go to speedtest.net on their computer and test actual download speeds as theit internet speed may be rate limiting, in which case renting in iTunes might be a good idea or renting in SD.

purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working. I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available. I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore). -

I can't make purchases anymore in the App "Clash of Clans" and yet I can purchase music and movies from the iTunes store. Can someone help?
What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?
You don't use Airplay. You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?
It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

I've purchased two standard movies from the iTunes store and they both started to download very quickly and then out of the blue, they stopped and the message for both read as follows: error try again....now, no matter how many times I try again, neither of these movies will complete the downloading process before that same message pops up again!!!! It's making me so aggravated!!! Someone please help!!! I've spent good money on these vids.....what do I do???
Try to download them in iTunes on your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and then from the menu at the top of the screen go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You should be taken to another screen where the incomplete downloads can finish and then you can sync them to your iPad.

I have purchased over 500 songs from Apple store. My iPhone 4s shows all songs, my iPad 2 only has 33 (I downloaded with iCloud). What to do.
Hi ozzie329,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
Then resync to your Nike.
Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

HT201269 Can I transfer a rented itunes movie on my PC to a flash drive?
Is it possible to transfer a rented itunes movie on a PC to a wi-fi flash drive to view on an ipad? How?
Thanks for the help. Although the FAQ cited below does not specifically rule it out, I suspect rentals may not be transferred to a non-Apple device. Is that your conclusion as well?
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. -
How do i transfer paid songs and movies from an old desktop to a laptop
I just got an iPhone 4 and i'm trying to transfer all my media from iTunes on an old desktop to iTunes on a laptop using a USB memory stick. but, it wont let me transfer the songs and movies i paid for. how can i get it??????
Right-click an item other than a rented movie in iTunes, locate it, drag the entire iTunes folder or anything you want to transfer to the flash drive, move it to the other computer, drag it to the hard drive, and from there into the open iTunes application window.
Multiple runs may be needed. Rented movies can't be transferred this way.
The iPhone can also be used; sync it on the old computer, authorize the new one, and choose Transfer Purchases in iTunes. This method will transfer rented movies.
