Watching movies and downloaded tv shows etc....

In order to watch downloaded TV shows or movies on my HDTV using my mac do I have to purchase apple HDTV? I bought some xtremehd cord thinking it would work... wrong! If there is a cord or something that I can purchase please tell me which one(s), any help appreciated.
Thanks

DVI output using mini-DVI to DVI adapter (sold separately)
One of these puppies should do the trick. It's a Mac Store option that may also be available somewhere in Internet Land.

    I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.

    It should be in your Library under Movies

  • HT2729 If i purchase or rent a movie and downloaded it into my iPad, do i need a wifi to watch it?

    If i purchase or rent a movie and downloaded it into my iPad, do i need a wifi to watch it?

    You definitely do not need WiFi to watch a purchased movie once it has been downloaded to your iPad. I have several movies that I purchased for watching on flights and every one of them worked fine without WiFi.
    You should also be able to rent a movie and watch it without WiFi as long as the movie has fully downloaded properly. I have read about users having mixed results with this and that is why I said that you should be able to do it.

  • My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing  work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

    My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing  work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • HT1657 If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad.

    If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad. Can I still watch it if wifi is no longer available?

    Normally once a rental has completely downloaded, you no longer need a connection to the iTunes Store to play the movie. Some people have, however, tried to play a rental and been instructed to connect to the iTunes Store. I have not been able to spot any pattern in when it works and when it doesn't, so all I can say is that it should work but may not. I know that's not a good answer, but it's the best I can provide. Perhaps someone else here will have better insight into the issue.
    Regards.

  • HT1657 I rented a few movies and downloaded them to my computer.  Before they had been viewed, I updated my iTunes software and the movies were no longer in my library.  How can I access the movies as I have already paid for them?

  • Could I connect the lap top to TV and watch movies and control the lap top from a distance?

    could I connect the Apple lap top to my TV to watch movies and control the lap top from a distance just like the Window lap top???

    Check out Apple TV.  It is a wireless interface to your TV.  It may be the best $99 investment you can make for entertainment on your TV.  It simply requires a standard $10 HDMI cable, not supplied with the Apple TV unit.  Through Apple TV, with Mavericks, you can use the TV as a standard OS X monitor or for entertainment.  Also check out the Beamer software to stream videos to it from your Mac.
    Apple TV requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later.
    If your MBA is not new enough you can use the AirParrot application but the video quality is not as high as with a newer MBA.  It also streams from iOS devices.

    Can I hook my iPhone 3 up to my tv and watch movies and videos? If so what cables do I need?

    I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

  • Im accustomed to watching movies and tv shows on my laptop but now have an HP Tablet using Firefox. How do I watch my show now (ie, Netflix, Amazon, HULU, etc)?? n

    Is someone available to walk me through how I can watch my movies and TV show on my HP Tablet (like I used to do on my laptop via Netflix, Amazon, HULU, etc (with Firefox installed)?
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, there is no Firefox for WebOS. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device]. there is a community version from [http://www.fractalbrew.com/labs/prefox/ http://www.fractalbrew.com/labs/prefox/], but I don't know if it will work, or how well it will work.

  • Is anyone else having the same authorization error when trying to view downloaded tv shows, etc. on apple tv?  I had the same problem a few weeks ago and was ultimately advised it was due to some sort of server error.

    A few weeks ago I had the same issue where items (tv shows) I purchased on itunes would not show using my apple tv on my main television.  It gives me an error stating I need to "authorize" the device/account etc.  There is no problem with the authorization it is correct; tv show plays on the computer.  The last time this happened the local apple store suggested I bring in my entire imac, hard drive, apple tv, etc.  This seemed crazy since I had been able to eliminate that there was a problem with my password, imac, etc.  I had also already tried all of the restore, reset, options to include restoring the apple tv, changing password and authorizing everything again.  Then I found out via an online discussion there were others having the same problem and it was due to some sort of server issue apple was having.  Is anyone else having this problem besides me again?

    I think I have the same problem.
    Apple TV 2. I can watch stuff I downloaded a while ago, but after I downloaded a season of a TV show on Friday night (Oct 28), I got the "Authorization Required" message. Ruined my Friday night trying to troubleshoot this, and found a bunch of posts on this forum about Apple's Servers being down can cause this. Since I'd done nothing different to my setup, I assumed that indeed "Apple's servers being down" was causing my grief.
    It's now Oct 31st, and I'm still getting the error on the newly-downloaded stuff. So either Apple's servers are having serious grief (and passing it on to me!) or else there might be something else after all.
    I've de-authorized and re-authorized my computer (I never thought for a second it would help because I can play "older stuff". Everything in my TV shows folder is bought from iTunes - i.e., it's all completely legit. We haven't even vacuumed behind the TV(!!) so we haven't disturbed anything... And the key info is that I can play stuff purchased prior to Oct 28th, but the stuff I purchased on Oct 28th hets the "Authorization required" message.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared.  This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

    I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch."  I purchased the entire season and had watched one show.  It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5. 
    About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook.  while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing. 
    Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass.  After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available. 
    I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs.  I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time.  Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering. 
    Any ideas?

    As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
    It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p
