TV show that has been downloaded but Apple TV streams it anyway.

When I go to watch a TV show that has been downloaded to my iTunes library, Apple TV streams it, instead of playing off my iTunes downloaded file. Is this how it works? I expect that if I download a purchase, that Apple TV would instantly play the local file, and not bother with streaming. Is this something I can correct with a preference config or some digital voodoo?

Speednet always clocks me at 20-23Mbps, just checked it. ALL my internet functions seem to work well. Apple TV has no problems streaming, Netflix, Hulu, or iTunes radio. I can play any of my iTunes music library with the Apple TV remote. I have also watched two streaming episodes from Apple TV. Additonally, some DVD's that I had ripped to iTunes will play from my iTunes library on Apple TV. My only problem seems to be purchased TV. They show up in iTunes, they show up on Apple TV, both in the TV shows>Purchased pathway, and in the Computers>my iTunes library>TV shows pathway. They just don't seem to play when try the computer>iTunes route.
Thanks again for your help.

    Documents in iCloud, whether uploaded automatically from an iOS device or via iCloud.com in a web browser from your Mac, are not available for sharing with others. You will need to use something like Dropbox or other public web-sharing site.

  • Hi. My songs that I bought on my iphone does not show on purchaced after sync with my macbook pro. Some of the songs shows it has been downloaded ,but it has an x next to it and doesnt play. Thx

    Songs bought on iphone do not show up as purchased on my macbook pro after sync. Some songs bought on iphone show as downloaded but has an x next to it and cannot play. It play on my iphone though.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

    Not on iCloud itself - what you need is 'iTunes Match' which seeks to find versions in the Store of songs you already have, and failing that allows you to upload your own copies. This will cost you $24.99 per year; it does not count towards your 5GB free iCloud space. Limit 25,000 songs (purchased songs do not count towards this limit). You will need iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your Mac or PC and iOS 5.0.1 or later on your iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), or iPad.
    Please see this page: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Also note that some people have found that when using this facility with songs which contain strong language, iTunes Match is substituting a cleaned-up version.

  • For iOS the ipad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not.

    I am responsible for handling the apps and not at all involved with or know how the folio creation process works.
    When I build the app for iOS the iPad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not showing the folio.
    Is this something related to the build process or how the folio was created?
    The folio also shows up in the Android app (at least the phone I have tested with).
    Thanks,

    "Android and iOS viewers have different requirements for displaying folios. Any folio size you create can appear in an Android viewer. The articles are scaled and letterboxed as needed. However, on the iPad, the viewer displays only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPhone viewer displays only folios with a 3:2 or 16:9 (1136x640) aspect ratio."

    The instagram icon on my iTunes says it has been downloaded but I can't seem to find it. Where do I find it?

    Hi Charlene1018,
    You can locate any of your iTunes media including apps in Finder by following this article:
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Locating the file for an item you see in iTunes
    If you're not sure where some of the content you see in iTunes is stored, iTunes will also show you what it knows about your media in the Get Info window.
    Select an item in iTunes and choose File > Get Info.
    You can right-click on the 'Where' to get the option to Show in Finder (Mac OS X) or Show in Windows Explorer (Windows).
    Cheers!

    Analytics can be accessed from the account under which folios are published for that app. If you don't see it under the account, I think it's best you contact support. Login to your DPS dashboard and click on "Contact Support" at the bottom left

  • Does an adobe reader read the Adobe acrobat document that has been downloaded from a web site

    I am having trouble opening anything that has been downloaded into a adobe acrobat document . I am wondering if I am suppose to have an Adobe reader to read it and why is it not  being read because it is not a supported file type or because  the file was damaged sent as an email attachment  and wasn't correctly decoded. I am not very computer illiterate and don't understand what I need to be able to get a embroidery designed sent to my computer and be able to open it up.?

    Hi Adpdfacct808,
    PDF is the document standard that you are trying to read. If you have Acrobat installed then you can open the pdf with Acrobat to read it.
    What error do you get when you try to open the document?

  • When my I tunes Match has been downloaded but when i open I Tunes I do not see it in the left hand column. I have to go to I tunes store about and click on it.

    When my I tunes Match has been downloaded but when i open I Tunes I do not see it in the left hand column. I have to go to I tunes store about and click on it.

    When the match process is not running iTunes match will not be present in the side bar, this is normal behavior.
    If you go to store in the iTunes menu bar you should see "Turn off iTunes match" and "update iTunes match".
    When the match process runs, after you have restarted iTunes, or manually selected update iTunes match it will re-appear in your sidebar.
