When watching on Apple TV, iTunes is playing another move.

Whenever I watch or browse my playlists on Apple TV, iTunes react as well in making clicking noises, playing songs or playing movies. Why is this?

If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password))
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computerAND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

  • When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frame every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    When watching my Apple TV (3rd gen) the picture jumps a few frames every few seconds, this happens when I rent a film or play back from my new Mac Pro, my Wifi is the Airport Express.

    These may be different issues, but lets look at rentals first.
    Poor motion can result from mismatched output. If your source is 24 or 30 fps you should set the output of the Apple TV to 60 Hz, for 25 fps content use 50 Hz.
    Additionally motion software on the TV itself can cause the picture to jump, check your TV settings and turn off any motion settings in use,

  • TS2972 I am having trouble with my homesharing when watching my apple tv

    I am having trouble with my homesharing when watching my apple tv.  I am not sure if it is apple 2 tv or just apple tv.  It is smaller.

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?

    iTunes Store: Error (-50) when downloading purchased videos
    Last Modified on: April 24, 2007
    Article: 303887
    Symptom
    The following alerts may appear when trying to download purchased videos from the iTunes Store:
    "There was an error downloading your purchased music. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
    This can happen when the connection timeout occurs while downloading purchased video content from the iTunes Store.
    Products affected
    iTunes Store
    iTunes for Windows
    iTunes for Mac OS X
    Purchased video content
    Solution
    Deleting the cached video files of the download, and starting the download again from the beginning, often will resolve this issue.
    To find the cached video downloads:
    Navigate to the downloads folder on your system. This folder can be found in the following locations:
    Mac:
    ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
    Note: The tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
    \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
    Windows XP and 2000:
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\
    Locate the folder that contains the cached video file for this purchase.
    In Windows Vista, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .tmp.
    Example: The Dundies.tmp
    In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder will be named for the purchased video, and the name will end with .m4v.tmp.
    Example: The Dundies.m4v.tmp
    Move the .tmp folder for the affected purchased video to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Check for Purchases.
    Enter your account name and password and click the Check button.

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • When watching a video in itunes, is there a way to zoom in on the video, i.e., to 200%?

    When watching a video in itunes, is there a way to zoom in on the video? For example, zooming to 200%?
    I've been looking but can't find any option to do this.

    You should be able to click on the change themes button and go back to your original theme.  If all of the text is currently in the book then make a backup before changing back just to be on the safe side.  To do so just click on the book icon and type Command+d (Duplicate).

  • When iTunes finishes playing home movies it closes down before it went back to your home movie library

    when i play home movies in itunes when the video is finished itunes closes , before it just went back to home movie libary is there a setting i can se to revert it
    thanks David

    Yep, done all that.  Repeatly.  Don't get any sort of recovery mode message or the phone showing up on iTunes at all.  iTunes is most current version, all diagnostics show everything fine, and it works fine with my current phone.  Just....nothing.

  • 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.

  • Itunes freezes playing back movie

    This is the first time I have used itunes
    I purchased the kids movie Ratatouille this morning. It downloaded just fine. When I tried to play it this evening, after 22 seonds, itunes just completely freezes up. I also tried to play it using quicktime and got the same results.
    I have Vista, if it matters.
    Anyone know how to fix this kind of thing??
    Does itunes not work with Vista??
    Thanks!

    I am running Vista 32 and have the latest iTunes and Quicktime apps on a new Gateway desktop with dual core and lots of RAM. iTunes is fine until I click on the movies section and my whole system freezes. I have to hard reboot in order to recover.
    I tried playing a movie in Quicktime by locating it in the iTunes folder and playing it -- system crashes again. Very frustrating. I tried multiple movies with the same results. I believe this is a compatibility issue with Quicktime and Vista.
    I have searched endlessly on newsgroups and google searches for a fix. I see many folks posting similar issues, but no one has received an answer from Apple. Apple needs to address this quickly before they start losing more market share. Why purchase a movie if we can't play it??
    I hope we get a fix soon!

  • Apple tv won't play my movies movies without authorization.

    I am really frustrated now. I have complained about this is recently, but things seemed to have worked themselves out. I am really annoyed that everytime I try to watch a movie on my hotel TV, through Apple TV it asks for computer authoriztion, for the content that I purchased.
    Please help me..someone.

    Yes, this is a right pain in the neck with AppleTV2 that did not seem to affect AppleTV1 in quite the same way.
    I'm not clear if you have an internet connection or not, but from memory without one (when I tried using AppleTV 2 to play some pucrhased Mickey Mouse cartoons on vacation streamin from a Mac Mini), AppleTV2 falls over trying to authorise.  Same issue if trying to Airplay purchased content from an iPad/iPhone.  Of course home brewed content played fine as it did not need authorisation.
    My solution in the end was to hook the Mini up to the TV via HDMI and use that instead - no need for authorisation on playback it seemed.
    It's quite galling that you legitimately purchase media and can't play it.
    (AppleTV1 worked better in this regard, even without an internet connectiuon if things had been previously played back - I think).

  • Is Apple tv ready to play 3D movies?

    I want to play 3D movies on my smart tv. Is Apple tv ready for this use?

    There is no 3D content in iTunes, so whether it is ready or not is a bit irrelevant.

  • Can't authorize iTunes to play a movie I own?

    Hi! I bought a movie a long time ago on iTunes and have watched it before. I went to try and watch it again and got an authorization message. I typed in my password, but the same window asking me to authorize this computer to play the movie popped up again. It continues to do so whenever I type in my password, which I know is correct. How do I fix this and get it to play my movie?

    Click here and follow the instructions.
