Why don't iTunes rented HD movies stream from ipad to apple tv?

I have an apple tv and have an airport extreme wifi.  I have no problem streaming netflix or movies I rent on apple tv.  The issue I have is a movie rented on an ipad.  I downloaded it in the afternoon and can play it in the ipad but the moment I try to use airplay to show it on my tv screen thru ATV, the screen shows a status bar and it seems to be downloading something.  I though I could stream this without delay.

If you allow it to take place, you'll see it build the buffer in the timeline itself.
(YouTube movies are nowhere near the 4-5 Mbps of HD rentals/purchases)
There will also presumably be an authorisation requirement with protected content.

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • How to stream from iPad to apple tv via airport express with the airport express being connected to the internet

    I have an apple tv, iPad 3 and airport express. Im at school and the apple tv is technically not supported by the network. Ive read that one could use AirPlay to apple tv via AE.
    Can someone help me make this work? Step by step process if possible.
    Thanks in advance,

    The router does provide WIFI, but the thing is the Apple TV will be out of reach. I want to avoid having two routers / networks. That's why Apple TV is hardwired. The AirPort (also hardwired) should only work as a receiver for the iPhone - streaming iPhone content to the Apple TV.
    BOTH the Apple TV and the AirPort Express are AirPlay "speakers." That is, you can stream from iTunes to either device. You don't need both if the Apple TV is hardwired to an existing router. That provided the necessary networking for AirPlay to stream over. Wi-Fi is NOT required for AirPlay if you have a wired connection between the AirPlay "server" (i.e., iTunes host) and the AirPlay "speaker."
    The Apple TV would work as a "receiver" for your iPhone.
    If AirPlay is an application layer software, how may two AirPlay device communicate directly? Normally all communication is relayed by the access point.
    AirPlay is a streaming protocol that runs over TCP/IP. AirPlay "speakers" DO NOT communicate with each other directly. The basic communication path is between an AirPlay "server" and an AirPlay "speaker" or multiple "speakers." Again the path between them can be either be wired or wireless or some combination of each.

  • Only sound when I stream from iPad to Apple TV

    Hi I have a new iPad and I am currently using Apple TV 2 (first version). I just rented a movie from iTunes on the iPad. When I try to stream it to Apple TV I only get sound on my TV. The video stays on the iPad. When I try the same thing with videos I have on the iPad I get sound and video without a problem. The movie I rented was HD 1080p. The viedos on the Ipad are SD. I wonder if the reason is that the Apple TV 2 (first version) does not support 1080p? Or is there another problem?

    Before I posted my question yesterday I did check if I had the most currect software on all devices. I also restarded both devices and it did not work.
    When I retried one hour later however it suddenly worked like a charm. So waiting did the trick. I guess it's not the perfect solution if it works sometimes and does not the other times. So I am still hoping someone has an idea. Maybe I just have to wait for the next Software Updates and AirPlay ist not at 100% yet.

  • What websites let you stream from Ipad to apple tv

    I really want to stream full episodes from CBS.

    I don't think that website is optimized for iPad, and the developers have blocked the app from airplay. Each site, much like the apps, would need to enabled for airplay so its hard to say.

  • HT204370 I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    At the moment it's not possible to copy films rented on an iPad to another device - from here :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why Apple have decided to do that I don't know, but you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    If you live in a country where the feature is not available, you will not be able to rent movies. Not all iTunez content is available worldwide.
    You can see what is available where you live here.

    Did you already ask this question earlier today and were you not told this already? Your screen name looks familiar and so does the question.

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie on my iPad but it won't download because I don't have enough memory.  Searching thru the FAQ it looks like I am unable to transfer this to my Apple TV.  Is this correct & if so then maybe there should be a warning when purchas

    I have rented a movie on the iPad but I don't have enough memory for it to download  - so I wanted to make it available on my Apple TV - looking at the FAQ it doesn't look like I am allowed to do this! Why not - I've purchased/rented this movie I should be able to watch on any device??!   Can I get a refund for something I can't watch??

    As it says on the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
    If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY?

    I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY? I thought after sucessfully downloading the movie to ATV, it would be available for 30 days in my ATV, without having to download again. To my surprise, it tells me I have to download all over again. It took me 3 hours to download the movie, now I have to repeat the process? Can someone tell me why? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will delete content if it is used to plat something else or is turned off. It only has a limited amount of volatile memory.
    If you want to download something for watching at a later time, it would be best doing it from iTunes on your mac/PC and streaming it to the Apple TV when you are ready to watch it.

  • I have rented a movie on my iPad.  Only audio streams on apple TV

    I have rented a movie on my iPad.  When I try to view it on apple tv only the audio will play when I use the apple TV button. How can I get the video portion to stream?

    Try restarting the iPad (the red "swipe to power off", then power back on). That may get the movie to appear in the Videos app. If not, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • HT1657 Why can't we rent certain movies, such as warhorse, or money ball??  They are already out on DVD... will we ever be able to rent them?

    Just wondering why we can't rent certain movies off ITunes store, when those movies are already out on DVD - will we ever be able to rent them?

    Apple needs to have permission from the copyright holder to make them available.

  • I rented a movie on an iPad mini while connected to wifi. Now I'm in the car with out Internet and when I try to play the movie is says "could not load movie" what can I do? I purchased it from iTunes and let it load fully before leaving.

    Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?

    Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"

  • If I rent a movie on my iPad would I be able to watch it instantly or I have to connect to my Mac first?

    I'm out if town with my iPad only so if I rent a movie on my iPad's iTunes would I be able to watch it instantly or I have to connect it to my Mac first?

    Yes, I do it regularly. I can't think of a reason why you should have had to have connected your iPad to your computer before watching a television snow.

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App
