Why do some purchased movies fail to show up in Home Sharing via Apple TV?

Most of my purchased movies show up just fine when I try to access them using my Apple TV2, but some simply do not appear in the list of movies available via Home Sharing. Does any one know why some movies appear and others don't?

Read the details on availability at:

Focus on the specifics.

Computer not showing up in Home Sharing on Apple Tv

Is Home sharing enabled on Apple TV?
If on wifi try Ethernet
Make sure your router hasrot 123 open (refer to manual if unsure)

HT4557 my computers won't show up in home sharing on Apple TV

I connected AppleTV to my television, everything works but can't get the home sharing to show my laptop, iPad or iPhone. I have gone thru all of the setttings on each to work with Home Share, made sure the user name and password are correct on all....but to no avail. Have spent hours and have not solved the problem. Is there a setting in iTunes that I am overlooking. My laptop is a Dell Vostro with WIndows 7, updated to 11.0 iTunes.

Make sure your PC and iOS device(s) are running under the same network.
All devices must have home sharing enabled and all should be signed-in using the same apple id and password.
After that is confirmed, using the music app and under the "more" option, you should find the "Shared" link.
Then choose your music library

Why can't I purchase movies or tv-shows in Norway?

I was wondering why I can't purchase movies or TV-shows from iTunes. I'm from Norway, so my account is registered i Norway. Apple don't sell Apple TV i Norway either. WHY?!

Because Apple doesn't have permission to sell enough movies and TV shows in Norway to open sections for them in its iTunes Store.

Purchased movies and tv shows won't show up in iTunes on my Macbook Air

So, I have recently begun purchasing movies and TV shows through iTunes in an attempt to further enrich my Apple ecosystem (and to have awesome movies to watch on a 5.5" screen ). I have had mixed experiences with this transition and am still having issues. For example, my Apple TV worked fine with all my purchases instantly -- no problem there. My Mac Mini takes a bit but it sorts itself out in no time. My iPhone 6 Plus, however, has failed at showing new purchases in the cloud in the videos app (for example, I purchased Doctor Who Series 8 and wanted to watch an episode the other day but was disappointed to find out that it wasn't available in the cloud). My Macbook Air though.. absolutely no movies or tv shows show up in iTunes. I can download them from the purchased section of the iTunes store, but at 2-3 GBs an episode, and the limited memory of a Macbook, I have only condoned a desire to stream them through iCloud.
Yet I can't figure it out. Why aren't my shows and movies showing up at all in iTunes? All of my iTunes match songs show up just fine. I have checked and nothing is hidden, so I am literally stumped.
If anyone could help me understand why, that would be great. And if anybody knows what is going on with my iPhone's video app, that would be awesome too.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

I have lost all my purchased movies and tv shows on my iTunes

Please help as i have lost all my purchases on my apple tv how do i recover these?

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

AppleTV will not sync purchased movies or TV shows

ATV will not sync my previously purchased movies or TV shows. I have no problems syncing personal MP4 identified as moves or TV, all music, podcasts and photo's. I haven't made any (non-iTunes)software or hardware changes. Problem began about the time of the latest iTunes release, but I'm not sure of the cause. I have followed all WC's suggestions: Updated all iTunes and ATV software, de and re-authorized, moved .xml file out and back. Even reset factory settings on ATV.
Regardless, I get the "cannot contact iTunes Store" or the "check firewall port 8 whatever". Well, I have no problem getting to the iTunes store and they take my money easy enough...my ports are wide open, so what gives?

I am also having this problem. TV shows seem to be ok. 1 purchased movie has synced. I have a total of 4 movies. the one purchased movie is showing in the ATV devices section of itunes in the purchased and purchased on apple tv folder. it also appears in the movies folder on itunes. The other 3 movies do not show in the purchased folder or purchased on ATV in the ATV folder in itunes. They do appear on the ATV device however. I have read some posts indicate that movies cannot be synced from ATV to Itunes when purchased on ATV. I do not believe this to be true and because one movie is on itunes and ATV in itunes and I am able to sync back and forth with ATV through itunes. I have had a hardware change to my system with the Airport extreme but it is still letting me sync the one movie back and forth. It seems odd that the other movies are not showing up in my purchased folder in itunes.

HT4539 how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc

how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc or to nas drive because my apple tv storage is full

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you try restarting the router.
Are you trying to watch them from the internet or a library on a computer.

Why is my purchased movie sound low

why is my purchased movie sound low

It rather depends on the movie. Films with a lot of loud noises such as explosions are balanced with the speech level quite low, so that the loud noises really do sound loud. The result of this is that the dialogue sounds vastly quieter than a pop music recording, which is usually balanced to the highest possible level all the time. It's just a fact of life.

HT204370 How do I permanently delete purchased movies or TV shows from itunes?

How can I permanently delete purchased movies or TV shows from itunes?

You can't currently permanently delete items, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding. At the moment you can't hide items directly on iOS 6 devices, but you should be able to do it via your computer's iTunes.

Why will my apple tv only access purchases made in itunes library? My Home Sharing is activated on both my TV and computer, but I continue to get message to activate Home Sharing. I am unable to transfer my movies downloaded in Itunes.

Why will my Apple TV only accept purchases made in Itunes? I am unable to transfer movies and music that I have downloaded in Itunes through my Apple TV to my TV. All movies are in an MP3 Ipad format.I have followed every troubleshooting suggestion with no luck. If my Apple TV will transfer purchased music, I must assume the Home Sharing is activate on both my computer and TV.

Thank you. I meant streaming, not transfer. I have streamed movies through my Apple TV before and watched them on my TV. Now, the only content that will stream is what I purchased in the Itunes store. My Home Sharing is obviously activated or the streaming of purchased items would not work. Both my Itunes and Apple TV are fully updated. Where am I going wrong?

How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them. I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
a) Impossible
b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine
d) purchase an external USB drive and plug it directly to the apple tv 3
e) purchase a NAS drive and configure the apple tv 3 to use it
f) [your answer here]
Thank you,

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)
Rui from Portugal
