Why is my recent apple tv purchase not authorized for my New iPad

I recently purchased an Apple TV and a new iPad....when I try and sync, one of my movies comes back as "not copied to iPad as you are not authorized to view it on this computer?"  Its in my iTunes library so I don't understand?
Thanks!

never mind, I figured it out!  You have to turn home sharing on in settings on the iPad as well....!

  • Why does it say my computer is not authorized for apps installed my iPhone?

    Why does this happen occasionally?
    I just got home and sat down at my computer to work and plugged in my iPhone to charge and I got this nonsense message (and this has happened a few times in the past)
    So I clicked on authorize and entered my apple ID. Then it gives me this message that makes me say "Duh!" (I've had this phone for over a year, plugging it into my computer every day, including earlier today just fine)
    But the worst thing is that after I click OK on that message, it gives me the first message again!  I'm forced to click on Don't Authorize or go around in an endless circle.
    Please tell me what's going on . . . ?

    I'm using OS X version 10.10.1
    In my phone settings it says Version 8.1.2
    Maybe there's some confusion because when I bought this iMac in 2011 the only other Apple device we already owned was my daughter's iPod, and we have plugged it in to this machine. But definitely by the time I got my iPhone in November 2013 I created my own Apple ID. There was great confusion at that time because of having two Apple IDs and I'm still confused.
    But right now I have a worse problem so I'll be moving to my other thread (in which I wondered whether it's possible to revert to an older OS).

  • Will Apple reject giving me AppleCare  for my new iPad if it has iOS 6 beta

    I plan to purchase AppleCare+ tommorow at my local Apple Retail Store. During the inspection of my iPad, will they deny giving me AppleCare+ if I have iOS 6 beta 2 installed. I am a registered developer.

    Quite possibly, but go to the store and ask.
    Regards.

  • I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    On your phone (from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311):
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

  • I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1.  It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

    I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1.  It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

    Annoying isn't it.
    This seems to have started at the end of October and may be some kind of 'authorisation expiry' on the original unit that needs updating.
    Solution include:
    Purchase something on the AppleTV1 itself with DRM (a free TV Show episode might be an idea if yiou can find one).
    Remove the connection to itunes by removing the iTunes library from AppleTV's Computers>Settings menu, then add it back again.
    Remember this will wipe synced content from the AppleTV if AppleTV1 is syncing (My Movies/TV Shows etc) as opposed to streaming (My Shared Movies etc) from that itunes library.  In theory direct purchases on AppleTV that have never transferred to itunes might survive the 'wipe for a clean slate for a new sync' process that happens when you remove a sync library but don't risk it and right click on the AppleTV Device in itunes, choose Transfer Purchases if there are any prior to resetting the AppleTV Computers entry and readding the library.  If AppleTV is streaming only it's very quick to remove the libarry and re-add it as there's nothing to sync when you re-establish the connection - it works I've done it.  Purchasing a protected music video on my other AppleTV1 which was synced also worked.
    Good luck

  • HT2534 I cannot buy an email Gift Card "Apple ID Not Authorized for Email Purchase" ???

    I cannot buy an email Gift Card "Apple ID Not Authorized for Email Purchase" ???

    I'll add my frustration in trying to purchase an e-mail gift card and being told I'm not authorized either.  Be nice to get more feed-back on the reason (e.g., no valid credit card, we think you pirate songs, you wear funny shoes .. something) instead of just NO!

  • I have just discovered that my Epson printer is not compatible with my new iPad 2.  Does anyone know of a way around this as I don't want to have to purchase a new printer just for my iPad?  Is Apple working on a solution for this?  Am very disappointed

    My Epson Artisan 610 printer will not work with my new iPad 2.  Not AirPrint compatible.  Only certain HP printers work.  Are there any solutions to this other than buying an HP printer?

    Epson iPrint doesn't allow printing directly from something like Photos, you have to call up iPrint and THEN select Photos, but it does work and very well.  For my Epson Artisan 725, I had it print a photo, best quality, on 4x6 Premium Photo Paper, and it DID automatically select the right "tray" with my photo paper.
    Thanks for posting this suggestion.
    This was SUPPOSE to be replying to the following:

  • Apple TV is not authorized message

    I tried renting my first movie via via the Apple Tv (not my Mac) upon trying to play the movie I get the error that my Apple TV is not authorized to play this content. No where in the manuals does it mention authorizing your Apple TV, if i'm wrong about this please point me in the right direction.
    I tried looking on the forums for answers but get a mix of rabbit holes to go down for a solution. I tried the authorize/de-authorize approach but no luck. I'm not even sure why i would need to authorize the Apple TV? Some other post mention seeing the Apple TV in itunes under devices... but i think this is for first gen Apple tvs?
    I gotten home sharing working with no problems and can stream from my mac to the Apple TV with no issue. Netflix also works for that matter...
    I don't see the rented movie in my purchases list via itunes either, should I? Should the rented movie show up in itunes at all if rented via the apple TV. The rental shows that I only have 23 hours now left to view it... even though it never started!
    Does all content have be purchased via iTunes and not directly from the apple tv UI, that would be really lame if so... My wife was a bit peeved that she had to go downstairs to the computer to rent Mad Men, rather than just select if from the Apple TV.

    I am having *the exact same issue* with the first movie I rented late last night. My Apple TV 2 is set up and working fine with my iTunes library and wifi network in every respect except this one. The money has been taken from my account and I have no way of watching the movie as every time I push to watch it it says "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content"! How can this be given that my itunes account details have been entered on the system and allowed me to 'successfully' rent and be charged for the movie in the first place? 20 hours and counting before the money has been wasted, although I have requested a refund through the problem reporting tool on my account!!
    I too have gone through the forums and tried everything with no luck. I even contacted apple care support who kept me online for 30min, resetting and restoring etc... only to tell me that it might be an issue my TV!! Nonsense, otherwise surely it wouldn't work at all.
    I hope someone from Apple is monitoring this thread and that a proper solution will be given in due course. At the moment, I don't want to risk renting any more movies until I know that my machine will be authorized for the purchases I have made.

  • Recently Apple have blocked my account for no particular reason so i had made another account because I couldn't access it i backed my ipod touch 4g to my new account and transferred my games and found out i couldnt update them because i dont own them

    Recently Apple have blocked my account for no particular reason so i had made another account because I couldn't access it i backed my ipod touch 4g to my new account and transferred my games and found out i couldnt update them because i dont own the full version of this game can anyone help please get back to me !

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    You need to reactivate your first account.
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

  • "Apple TV is not authorized to play this."

    Even though I'm iTunes sees my aTV and the aTV is set up on the same network as my computer ... all of a sudden when I select a show to be played it says "Apple TV is authorizing..." and after a while it turns to the little yellow triangle with "!" and says "Apple TV is not authorized to play..." This is very new and just happened today and no settings were changed since the last time something was played. Also, it never showed the "AppleTV is authorizing" with the little loading symbol before this started happening.
    PLEASE HELP! I have reset the aTV to its factory settings, unplugged it, tried different networks and different iTunes (different computers)..... help, please!

    I have been having the same issues as many have had. When I wanted to play ANY purchased content on my Apple TV it would not play stating that Apple was unable to authorize. After much frustration and several calls to Apple, we as I said WE figured it out. Here is the solution:
    1. First make sure that the computer which has iTunes is Updated and You have properly authorized the machine. To test this try playing the purchased content on the Mac first. If it works then go to the next step.
    2. Go onto the Apple TV, go into settings, then reset/restore FACTORY SETTINGS. This will take a while and we restore the machine back to the original settings.
    3. Once prompted enter the access code onto your Mac under the Apple TV in the side bar.
    4. Once this is completed... here is the important part... REGISTER the Apple TV and MORE IMPORTANTLY, use your CURRENT registration email that you used to purchase the content. THIS IT SEEMS IS WHAT APPLE USES TO CHECK FOR AUTHORIZATION. (I wish Apple would have said something about this)
    You should be set to go!

  • Receiving error message: Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content. Please help

    I'm receiving an error message on my Apple TV.  I downloaded a movie to my MAC, the Mac and the Apple TV were in sync.  My Apple TV shows that the movie is "unwatched" in my movie selection area.  When I try to play the movie I am receiving the message "YOUR APPLE TV IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLAY THIS CONTENT".  Has anyone else every had this issue or know how to resolve the problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's the Apple TV 1 you have: This problem seems to have started around October 28, it appears to affect content purchased only on other devices but played on the Apple TV 1.
    There have been other workarounds suggested from time to time, but I have found the simplest solution is to purchase something on the Apple TV 1 directly (There may be free content in some locations and this appears to work just as well).
    Once the content has been purchased, it will not only play as normal, but will also allow all other content purchased on other devices after October 28 to play as well.
    Some have reported that it's necessary to restart the Apple TV before and/or after purchase, but I found it worked without.
