Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?
I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol
Used By
80
TCP
HTTP
AirPlay
443

HTTPS
AirPlay
554
TCP/UDP

Bonjour/AirPlay
49163
UDP
MDNS (Win)
Bonjour/AirPlay
Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them. -

why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!
Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option??
Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option to the screen saver, instead of the iPhoto slideshow?? I don't always want pictures moving over the screen, and especially when I'm listening to the music channels. Having such a large format for the iTunes Visualizer would be . . . you know, cool.
I totally agree and would love to see that option! I think the best way to tell Apple these things would be at http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html though.

Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!
And the processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.
Cheers, Tom -

Why can't I install iTunes on windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?
Why can't I install iTunes on Windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Theoretically, Microsoft is deciding what apps you can install. In Windows RT, you can only install apps from the Windows Store and they must be ARM-based, things that Apple and iTunes don't meet, so you can't use iTunes in Windows RT -
Why can't Apple accept that smaller cities and countries exist??
I just wish that Apple would realize that there are other places on earth besides the US, Europe and Asia!!
I am trying to put in my city code for my clock on my iphone 4 and it will not let me put in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. My Nokia phone bought in 2005 allows this and my cheap Casio watch recognizes other smaller cities on earth...why can't Apple??
I thought the general idea was to have ALL citizens on earth using your products??
Please do something update wise (and NO, I do not want to enter Bridgetown, Barbados as a 'next best bet'.
Thank you,I was looking for how to add any city in Trinidad to my world clock and came upon his post. It wasn't necessary to dig it up but I had the same complaint and because the posters here were mostly un-kind and un-understanding towards hm, I hoped he would know that not everybody thinks his complaint is invalid.
Not having the capitol means the whole country is not listed. Any city. It's hard to use another country's time zone because times may change due to things like daylight-savings-time in one country but not in another. If you live on the east coast of the US, you can still use a city from your own country in the same time zone. I can use Toronto even though that's not my real hometown in Canada. I can use Beijing for my current city even though I live 1000's of miles away but still in China. There's no city listed for all of Trinidad. I'm not sure what city to list for the same time zone as Port of Spain without worrying that it will be wrong at sometime because country differences.
Of course not all cities in the world can/should be listed but perhaps all capital cities or the largest city in even the smallest of countries could be listed.
I guess I do not have a grip on your reality. In my reality your post makes no sense because it only tries to insult another poster and offers neither help nor explaination. I'm not sure what you gain from that. To be fair though, it does seem like many people like to post in this way.
Thanks for your suggestion Michael Black. -
