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?

  • Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

    Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
    If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

  • I have an old ipod touch which won't go past the Apple logo, all it does is show me a loading symbol, but will go no further, i have tried restoring it and i have, it conects to my itunes and computer, but just won't get passed the logo..what can i do? :/

    I have an old ipod touch which won't go past the Apple logo, all it does is show me a loading symbol, but will go no further, i have tried restoring it and i have been successful. It connects and is recognised by my itunes and computer, but still after restoring it, it just won't get passed the logo..what can i do? what is the problem?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I purchased an iPhone and have a MacBook Pro.  I have turned on findmyiphone on my phone and it will locate both my phone and computer.  How do I turn the same program on on my computer?

    I purchased an iphone and MacBook Pro.  I have downloaded findmyiphone on my phone, and it will now locate both my phone and computer if they were to get lost.  I do not know how to put the same program on my computer, so I can find my iphone if it were to get lost.  Does anyone know how to activate this on the MacBook Pro?

    You activate it on a Mac in System Preferences/iCloud. You manage it from www.icloud.com in the Safari browser that came on the Mac.

  • HT204053 why is my apple ID only good for purchase here in the philippines?

    why is my apple ID only good for purchase here in the philippines?

    Sales are restricted by country presumably because of licensing restrictions. In most cases those will be imposed by the distributors of the items.  If a company has not worked out the license to sell a song in your country, or has simply decided not to bother, or in rare cases is prohibited by the government of a country, then Apple cannot sell it to you.

  • Accessing purchases made with 1 Apple ID from multiple Apple IDs

    I have been sharing 1 Apple ID to make all purchases and homeshare for the household.  As I now begin to add new IOS devices (IPAD, Iphones, etc.) and the kids want their own IDs for purchases and icloud syncs, is it possible to access music and app purchases made under the original id with the new id(s) so tey dont lose any of their existing stuff?  Put another way, can multiple ids access purchases made under one master id?
    Thanks

    I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
    Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
    While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
    Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
    Apologies for the lengthy response..

  • Why does my apple tv only show two icons?

    why does my apple tv only show two icons?

    Ditto, my ATV3 went on the blink last night. It suddenly lost internet connection and therefore resulting in the loss of AirPlay.
    Reset and Restarted the device and my wireless box (an Airport Extreme). The ATV3 can see my home network but it cannot connect to the internet via it.
    My Macs and ipads can so the internet is working.
    Seems that there is an issue with ATV3?!
    Apple can you help?

  • I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

    I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

    What happens when you try?
    If the song is an older purchase (from more than a few years ago), it may have DRM (copy protection).  You can check by selecting the song on a list in iTunes, and doing a Get Info (right click - Get Into).  On the Info window Summary tab, if Kind is Protected AAC audio file, it has DRM.  Also note what it says there for Apple ID.  You need to authorize the computer you use with the iPod to play content purchased with that Apple ID.
    From the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer.  Enter the Apple ID (and password) used to purchase the song.  One computer can be authorize for multiple Apple IDs.
    NOTE:  More recent iTunes Store song purchases do not use DRM, although other type of media (such as TV shows and movies) still do.
    If that's not the cause of your problem, please post back with more details...

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages saying "Move to iCloud." Does anyone know why this happens? Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages telling me to switch to iCloud. Why? How do I fix this?

    Get messages where? Have you signed out in System Preferences>MobileMe? - if you haven't, you should first go to the iDisk pane and stop iDisk sycing if it's running, then go to the Sync pane and stop any syncing, then go to Account and sign out.
    if you still get problems, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk, then reboot.

    Allan Eckert, my guess is that my reply did not show up until the OPs posted her reply. That problem seems to have restarted this morning. See the post in the Lounge>Community Operations forum for more info.

    I tried to contact support but they do not recognise my Thai phone number.
    the Thai support site is all in Thai (and I neither read or write it).
    All I want is a single email address that works - it must be quite a simple process.
    I don't want to create another account with another credit card - life will just get seriously complicated then.
    BTW my apple I'd is accepted for downloading free apps!!!

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Movies download from itunes, but when download finishes, there is no movie among my video selections--like it either is hiding or was downloaded somewhere else.

    Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

    As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • I need to access one folder in user library folder from my time machine backup......but it won't show a library folder

    I need to access one folder in user library folder from my time machine backup......but the backup disk won't show show a library folder.
    Pressing option-go only directs me to the current library folder in my hard drive. I have opened up the saved disk image and need to copy one folder and put it into my current library. Trying to restore using time capsule won't let me into the user library either......
    thanks in advance for any help

    The Saved Application State folder is where Lion stores all the information required for its resume feature to function as it does. As you are looking for a specific saved game folder it will not be in the Saved Application State folder. This folder was not present in Snow Leopard so wouldn't be present on your backup previous to the Lion install.
    The game saves you're looking for will most likely be located in the Application Support or Preferences folder.
    Hope this helps
