  • Can no longer connect with itunes store to watch movies. How come?

    I have been using Apple TV to watch movies on my television set for several months with no problems. The last movie I watched was on Nov. 22/13, but since then every time I want to rent a movie, I am unable to access the itunes store. I get a message saying Unable to sign In and that I should try again later. I have tried about 15 times over 2 days and keep getting the same message. Oddly enough I can actually watch the preview of any movie, but when I go through the process of actually renting the movie, then I get the message that I am unable to access the itunes store. What is the solution? Same problem with NETFLIX.

    Try running iTunes Diagnostics and pasting the output here.
    What firewall software are you running on your computer? Try to set it up again or uninstall it (for testing purposes only).
    Also, take a look at this Apple document -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

    I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

    You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter for the MacBook 4,1 and the iMac 8,1 and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • Connecting MacBook to TV to watch movies

    I am wanting to connect my MacBook to my television but not sure what cable(s) to buy to be able to watch movies on my TV. It's not for HD, just a standard tv. Im not sure which MacBook model i have, all i know its the model before they introduced the aluminium model. Any help would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks guys!

    My tv in the living room only has scart and the three colours (Red, Yellow, White).. Its pretty old.. hopefully get a new one soon :P.. but the one in my room has S-Video.. Is there a big different in video/audio quality between the two? If so.. what's best? Is S-Video just for the picture and will i not need something else for sound?

    Hi,
    Already mentioned on the following post:
       http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Que​stions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-​...
    You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
    The following list may help:

    You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

    Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

  • What cable do I need to watch movies on my Sony HDTV LCD tv from MacBook pr

    I have a brand new MacBook pro 13" and just wanted to watch movies on my tv instead of the laptop, thanks

    Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
    If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
    If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support.

  • How do I make my screen look better when watching movies?

    I notice when I watch movies on my Macbook that there are negative parts when I'm sitting on an angle. Is there any way to solve this through calibrating it or the right lighting. This doesn't happen on my sister's older Powerbook G4 that has a matte screen.

    Try not watching it on an angle and also try recalibrating it. Play around with the calibration until you find a setting that looks good for movies. Then save it. You can switch to it whenever you watch movies then.

  • Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.
