Two Apple TVs, how do I download new Movies to both?

I live in two locations and have an Apple TV in both. When I purchase a movie in one location it does not download into my computer or the other Apple TV.
Case in point... My wife is in The Netherlands and downloaded a Movie. I am in Mexico and recieved an email on my computer that the movie was purchased. The movie downloaded to the Apple TV in The Netherlands but I cannot download the movie on my computer and cannot download the movie on my Apple TV in Mexico...
Can someone explain what I can do to at least receive the movie on my computer???
Thanks
Carl

Purchases only download to 1 device/computer.
Apple do not offer multiple downloads of the same purchase.
AppleTV must be set up to use itunes in 'sync' mode - if it is you can copy content from itunes to AppleTV to watch when the computer is off. If it's set to stream you can only view content when comouter is on.
Purchases should automatically sync back to the 'sync' computer when both are on. right click on the AppleTV device in iTunes and choos to sync purchases if not.
If the AppleTV is set for streaming only you're a bit stuck as streaming mode won't sync things back, and if you change it to sync mode all content normally gets erased as AppleTV thinks you want a clean slate.
Apart from AppleTV direct rentals which you can't move around anyway I ususally buy direct in iTunes and sync across as it's more flexible and you can actually get to the file to archive on disc/external drive.transfer to your other computer.
I assume this is also all the same itunes accoiunt and you're buying from US Store from machines physically in other countries.

  • How do I disable sharing on one of two apple tvs? I do not want to share my library and apps with my ex. Apple tvs are in separate homes

    I just broke up and left my ex and we had two apple tvs in our home.  I kept one and she kept one.  How do I turn off home sharing on the apple tv that she kept?  I no longer want to share anything with her.  My apps, music, movies, etc.  Do I need to change my apple ID?
    Help,

    Hey Mixtris,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are concerned that someone may have access to some of your content using your Apple ID. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

  • Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

    I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV.  I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
    I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
    Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie?  Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

    If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
    I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:

  • Two Apple TVs in same room?

    I have two Apple TVs in the same room.
    They are each set to work with their own activity, but the Harmony One controls both even when not on that Apple TV's activity.
    I'd like to set it so that only one of them is controlled when I'm in its activity.
    I've tried pairing the remote per the site's instructions but the remote STILL controls both as if it's the same device.
    Here's my procedure:
    1. Select New Apple TV as a device on the remote.
    2. Aim remote at New Apple TV (while shielding the IR port on the Old Apple TV).
    3. Select pair (screen reflects a successful pairing).
    Repeat procedure for Old Apple TV.
    But then the remote STILL controls both devices no matter which activity I'm in.
    Any ideas?

    if you are using the logitech to control both appletv's you won't be able to pair, because it's the same remote and both the appletv's are set to be paired to it.
    the only way round this is to either use 2 different remotes, or turn 1 of the appletv's off when not in use.
    just because you are using a different activity on the remote doesn't make it a totally different remote in the eyes of the appletv.

  • Two Apple Tvs - one iTunes account

    I bought two Apple TVs - and want to have them sync to one iTunes account. After I bought the second Apple TV and synced it to my iTunes account, my iTunes account doesn't recognize the first Apple TV. I can ping it - so it's on the network. I've gone to Computers and have tried to reconnect to a shared iTunes account / even connect back to the iTunes account. When I'm given a code, there's no place for me to put the code into iTunes. The device doesn't show under Devices (just my most recent Apple TV)
    Help - I need to sync to both - it's for my 3 1/2 year old son

    Thanks for the response - I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11 I did rename my Apple TVs - so the names are different.
    Also, sometimes my second Apple TV isn't showing on my iTunes either. This is very frustrating!
    I'm also on a dual 2.3 GHZ PowerPC G5 (not an intel version). iTunes software version 7.6.2 (9)

  • My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    My Yahoo Mail is not Working on any of my Apple devices,  It attempts to download new email but then stops.  Any ideas?

    I, too, am having a problem with my Yahoo email account on my first generation IPad. I can't download my emails to my IPad from the server. The IPad looks like it's trying to download them but can't do it. I am able to send emails from my IPad with my Yahoo account.
    This problem started yesterday, Aug., 25th, the day after I uploaded the last update from Apple. I am able to set up another email account through Sbcglobal that will download my emails to my IPad but it is not sync'ed with my desktop mail which creates a mess when I move or delete emails.
    I've tried deleting my Yahoo account and then adding it back. Also I've reset my IPad and I've done a full restore.
    I think it has something to do with the last update, which I believe was a security update, which may have reset the firewall. That's just a guess.
    Has anyone figures out anything else?

  • I have got two Apple ID how do I get rid of one of them

    I have got two Apple ID how do I get rid of one

    At present there is no way to combine 2 Apple IDs and once an Apple ID is created it never goes away.
    All you can do is Not Use the one you no longer want. Just let it fade away. The only problem with that is anything that is now registered to it or that you bought from any of the Apple store with it can not be transferred to some other Apple ID. So you would need to repurchase those items under the Apple ID you want to keep.

  • Two Apple TVs to Two TVs from one iPad?

    Hello all,
    I bought two Apple TVs to try to solve my problem here.
    I have TWO TVs that are on either side of my podium in the boardroom and would like to put my powerpoint presentations from my one iPad onto both of them. I was wondering if this was possible with the two Apple TVs I bought using Airplay before I decide to unwrap them from the plastic. What about video playback?
    Thank you.

    99% sure it's not possible to mirror to more then one device at the time
