  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • Apple TV will not play the entire song

    I use Apple TV to play music because of the sound system hooked to my HD television. However, I have discovered that Apple TV will not play the entire song if it is long. For example, "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by Yes is one album of six 20+-minute songs. When each track gets about half way through, the system switches to the next track. I cannot find anything in Settings to fix this, either in iTunes on Apple TV. Help?

    the newer appletv dont have their own strorage
    so they can only access the shared lib of the computer
    some computers are set to power saving levels where they will turn off if not used by a real user for X mins
    if that happens the shared lib will no longer be avaible to the atv in which case it will not be able to keep playing

  • Apple tv is not playing a certain movie on my shared library library, know why?

    apple tv is not playing a certain movie on my shared library library, know why?

    Dear friends,
    Thank you for responding to my problem so promptly. Frankly, I did not expect to hear from people so soon! The fact is that as soon as I posted the question, I was shown a number of similar queries and managed to find the answer. I have to say it's not intuitive! I have an apple TV original version. Apparently I had the ATV on streaming and not syncing. Streaming does not allow you to stream a rental from your computer whereas you can sync and transfer the rental from the computer!
    Thanks again.

    All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes.  It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
    Can anyone help  I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
    Not sure why this has just started happening.  have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error... 
    THanks

    Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

  • My apple TV is not playing my purchased TV shows

    I have purchased several TV shows on my apple TV and not had any problems so far. The last week I am unable to watch a show. When I press PLAY it just returns back to the play screen. Help?

    Hi Chenks, but as I wrote above, I have tried restarting the AppleTV several times, I have had this issue for a while now, I even turn off the AppleTV at night and boot it up each time I want to view something so it has had plenty of time to recover, but now it is getting to a stage where I want to view my content!
    So, have rebooted, restarted, factory restored and still no joy on latest version, 1.0 comes up with not authorised despite it being authorised, de-and-re-authorised iTunes on MBP - these shows play fine on my MBP and wife's MB - the only issue I have is with AppleTV (the DID use to play on it, just get white screen of death now!)
    Any other ideas?

  • Apple TV will not play any Apple Content

    I cannot get any iTunes player (iPhone, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, etc.) to play any Apple related content. iTunes radio does not play, movie trailers do not play, nada. Netflix works fine, so its clear that I am successfully connected to the internet. I logged into my iCloud account, that all looks fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hello jfinwick,

  • Apple TV will not play from mobile me gallery

    I have some videos in my mobileme gallery which have been there some time.  I have a new 2nd gen. Apple TV and so does my sister.  Both Apple TVs can't play the movies that I have in my mobileme gallery.  The Apple TV can see the movies as a selection, but when a file is chosen to play, I get a message saying there is a problem and try again later.  I've tried again many times later ... in fact months later ... and the problem still exists.  Where does the problem stem, and how do I fix it?  Oh, and P.S. - the movies run fine on my computer and iPhone.

    It was uploaded awhile ago into "Movies" section using iMovie.  Someone suggested signing on in Apple TV without the ".me" to be able to play the videos (why that would work escapes me).  I am not at home to try that yet, but will give it a shot.

    I did more research and found that after the 4.2.2 update if you leave the @me.com or @mac.com OFF of your "add mobileme account when logging onto ATV that the error message: cannot load content, try again later goes away and allows your Gallery movies to play.  Hope this helps.

  • My apple tv will not play videos from my iphone 6

    I have an iPhone 6 and two separate Apple TVs.  Neither of the televisions with their respective Apple TV device will play any video taken on the iPhone 6.
    I can plan videos from Facebook or an emailed video, but not the videos taken with the iPhone.

    my iPhone 6 can play videos that I shot with the the phone to the AppleTV I have a 1080p version and a older 720p it works with both,  it cannot however  play slow-motion videos recorded with the phone most likely because the frame rate is not supported by either the AppleTV or the television itself at 120 frames per second or 240. Make sure you have the latest updates on both your phone and the AppleTV.

  • TS2972 My Apple TV does not let me see  vídeos from my Apple devices (iPhone And iPad), but is working Good with pictures And audio in internet radio transmited from my iPhone  And my iPad

    My Apple TV does not let me see vídeos when transmiting from my iPad And iPhone, however let me listen music And see the pictures when transmiting from theese  devices.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

  • How to link apple tv to itunes on macbook. apple tv will not play on tv.

    Do I have a defective unit? Apple TV will not come on the tv or my macbook, my itunes on my macbook will not recognize it. Used several different HDMI cables and tried in all the differnt ports on the tv. Power light will come on the unit but will not show on either my tv or laptop.

    The only way to get an ATV recognized on a computer is to physically plug it in via USB, has that been tried?
    With the ATV connected to the tv, were all inputs toggled through on the tv?  Not just physically moving the HDMI cable from one port to another.

  • TS2972 my apple tv will not connect to my home sharing

  • Apple Music App not playing audio iOS 5

    I updgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.0.1 and now my Music App isn't playing any of my songs. I can open the App and navigate fine, but when I press play it doesn't. I tried force quitting the app and even restarted the iPhone, but that still did not fix the issue.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    My music is now playing agian, but the issue still exists let me explain.
    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S.
    I then restored my iPhone 4S with an iPhone 4 backup.I did this to get all my previous data etc..
    The music from that backup did not "play"
    I then synced new music to my iPhone 4S after reading "Radar103" comment.
    Even though I synced new music it did not remove previous songs already on my iPhone.
    All new songs play just fine except for music from original backup.
    Here's the kicker. When I view my iPhone 4S music using iTunes I DO NOT see the songs from original backup. This is weird because when I navigate on my iPhone I can still select them.
    I really don't want to restore my iPhone to start from scratch. Any suggestions?
    My next step will be to call AppleCare.
