What extra equipment do I need to play purchased movies from itunes on my tv?

What extra equipment is needed to play itunes purchased movies to the tv?

A couple of options, but both assume you have a TV with an HDMI port:
Purchase a VGA Adapater and plug the iPad into the TV's HDMI port. $49 US, not inlcuding the HDMI cable
Purchase an AppleTV. A bit more expensive than the cables, but provides quite a bit more functionaility (including the ability to view purchased movies without the iPad). Runs $99 US. Also allows for using AirPlay
There are some third party devices (BlueRay players, for example) that support AirPlay, but probably more cost than you want to get into.

    So r u telling me that I can only look at a movie from my iTunes account on the device that it was download from.  This doesn't set very well me.  U should b able to your purchase movies from your cloud.  Is apple working on this resolution?
    There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
    I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
    If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time.  But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
    Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie.  If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.

  • Nano won't play purchased music from iTunes 6!

    Is there anyone else that is having problems playing purchased music from iTunes 6 on your iPod? My 4GB iPod nano is not playing (i.e. skipping over) songs that I have purchased AFTER I upgraded to iTunes 6. My iPod software is up-to-date and I tried resetting the iPod, but neither helped. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.
    -Ben Powell

    From what I've read, resetting your nano erases the music, etc. from your nano, putting the software back to its original state.
    This really has to s*ck, but if it works, its good that you can fix it that way. It does, however, make a great real life case for backing up your music.
    I've been using software (no I don't work for them) called e-backup for my email. I have receipts and other email from 2002! But, the point: it allows you to backup other folders/files. I included my music as an option yesterday because I remember losing term papers, etc. that I didn't backup to floppy or disk. Just in case!

  • HT5517 My AppleTv only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's.  How do I play this?  Thanks

    My AppleTV only allows me to play purchased music from iTunes.  I have an extensive library that I burned from CD's that I am pulling my hair out to figure out how to play them.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Thanks

    Your music library needs to be in iTunes on a Mac or PC. In iTunes enable Home Sharing and you should see your music library and playlists on the Apple TV. Both the computer and ATV have to be on the same WiFi network.
    See the following page on Home Sharing.

  • Playing purchased movies from iPad that had been synced to my computer

    Downloaded purchased movie from itunes to my computer and then synced it to my IPad.  I tried playing the movie from my iPad to my apple tv and it says this device is not authorized to play content.  Also tried from iPod but no luck!  I can watch the movie on my iPad but I can't AirPlay it! Any suggestions,

    Like you I am having the same problem. I am at a loss, seems despite the fact I have purchased the content and am only using the TV as a display I don't understand the authorization question. I hope someone has an answer.

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes Store

    My iPod won't play purchased songs from the iTunes Store. They play on my computer, using iTunes, through the iPod, but my iPod won't play the songs with headphones, or in my BOSE speaker station, nor in my car using my Belker radio adapter. I've purchased a few songs before, and haven't had this problem. I wasn't prompted, as I have been before, to enter in a password before playing the songs.

    i have the same problem, and i looks like there are another 4 or 5 discussion threads with the same prob. my ipod is about 14months old, got one of the first 4th generations when they came out -- have never had a problem, then when i downloaded itunes 6, all of a sudden everything i have purchased since then plays fine on my computer and just keeps scrolling thru and not playing on my ipod. very very frustrating. i have tried everything, right down to a complete restore on it, and nothing helps. also, when i downloaded itunes6, my purchased music playlist disapeared -- i spent 2 weeks and 5 emails going back and forth with tech support because they wouldn't address the issue, and am wary of going to them with this one. i thought the drive or memory on the ipod was corrupted and was going to buy another one, but now i'm not so sure -- is anyone having this issue with a 5th generation? because what it looks like is itunes 6 downloads may not be compatible with 4th G, and that makes me a little cranky. any one find a solution for this yet?

  • Apple TV won't play my movies from iTunes

    I just purchased my Apple TV and I can't movies I bought on iTunes. I can see my purchased tv shows but the only movies available are rentals. Any ideas on how I can find my purchased movies?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't redownload movies as you can TV shows, you'll need to play them via your iTunes library on your computer using homesharing.

  • Quick Time will not play HD movies from itunes

    When i'm on the road with my computer I like to be able to play my HD movies without having to open Itunes. So i use Quick Time. But with the HD movies I buy from Itunes this does not work. When I try and play the HD movies on Quick Time, the movie acts like it's playing but the screen is gray. The bar on the bottom displaying the time for the movie is going, but there is no video or audio.
    Is this a problem with authorization or something?

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes

    I cannot figure out why my iPod mini skips over purchased music from iTunes. I looked at the files and they are .mp4 & there is a little lock symbol on the file. Someone help! I have already dowloaded the latest updates and nothing has changed...

    I have the same problem as others mentioned here. I just updated my mini to 1.4, and iTunes to 6.0. Just purchased an album and went to play it and all the songs were just skipped over by my mini. Then checked and the same happens for all purchased music.
    I then check in iTunes and everything plays fine there. Then uploaded the songs to my 40GB and everything plays fine on the 40GB. I recently updated the 40GB to the latest firmware as well.
    The mini plays all other music just fine.

  • I can't play my movies from iTunes when i connect to my HDTV.

    I'm having trouble viewing my video from iTunes on my hdtv. I have a 2013 MBP 13" retina display runing OS X Mavericks. i recently bought an hdmi cable so i can hook up my MBP to my HDTV and watch my videos from iTunes.But when i open my itunes and try to play a video is just shows the play and its black. no maker how much i press play it doesnt show on the tv. i disconnect the cable and it show on my mbp. but once again when i plug in the hdmi is goes black again. can anyone help me play my movies to my hdtv.

    What happens if you click play and start the movie and THEN plugin the HDMI cable?
    I am not 100% but pretty sure this is intentionally being blocked by iTuens as a DRM restriction by copyright holders.  Windows media player does the same thing.  You can not play movies or other potentially copyrighted content though the video out (HDMI in this case) port on the computer. 
    This is a legal restriction Apple is under.  Not something they do by choice.  One simple way around it would be to by an AppleTV.  They are $100 and let you play your iTunes, iPhoto, etc. content on your TV.  It would also be much more convent since it is meant for this and would let you control the content via remote control.
