Why can't watch iTunes movies off iPad to connected monitor.

Apple apparently doesn't let you watch movies from your iPad2 even though it works fine with tv shows. Is there any way around this? It seems pretty annoying given that these are movies purchased throu iTunes.

No, I'm not using "sharing."  the movies are resident on the iPad, which is connected via HDMI to a digital TV.  I just did a quick check with several movies and the following play perfectly:
Psycho
War of the Worlds (original 1953 version)
The Sting
When I get a chance (probably Monday), I'll set up "sharing" and run a test for you.

  • Can't watch rented movies on iPad

    because my internet connection is so much better on my laptop than on my iPad, I rented two movies for an upcoming trip and when I tried to transfer them to my iPad, I can't.  I'm getting an error that you must watch the movies on the device where they were downloaded.
    I would like to find out if I can cancel the movie rentals so I can try downloading them directly to my iPad.

    Unless someone else has a suggestion, you'll need to go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

    1. Double-click the Home button and hold apps in the Task Bar down until they all wiggle then tap the minus sign to close apps. Tap the home button to return to Home screen.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • How can I watch my movies in ipad without wifi? I saw icloud but it doesn't help

    I want to watch movies bought in itunes without wifi. A couple month before I could do it, but now I can't do it.

    Thanks a lot, that worked.
    Another question:  Is there some simple/easy way to control playing video files on the Ipad2 remotely?  I want to pause/play at will and (ideally) rewind.  I know this can be done by touching the screen and getting the scrubber and the play/pause/ffwd/rwd  bar, but is there some way of doing this remotely?

  • HT204370 Can I watch iTunes movies purchased on my MacBook on my iPhone 4s?

  • How can I watch iTune movies....?

    ....on my living room stereo/dvd/tv/5.1/etc. system?

    Well Apple wants to provide this, but Hollywood is VERY protective over there content and does not want the same thing happening to them as did the music industry.
    The nano doesn't support video only the 5G iPod.
    Apple announced a Prototype device code named iTV thats basicly like a set top box and streams your purchased content like video over to your TV wirelessly. THey PLAN on having it out the first part of 2007 unless they hit some glitch

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

  • HT1657 Rent a movie but I can not watch my movie on my iPod why is that

    Why I can not watch my movie if I do not have problemes before watching movies

    What Adobe Digital app on your iPad? If you are talking about a third-party app (like Bluefire Reader) you need to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and select Apps in the Sidebar. Scroll down to the File Sharing section, select the app you plan on using, select Add (bottom right), navigate to where the book is on your computer, select the book and sync your iPad.
