Wifi hardrive to play itunes movies on an ipad?

I am looking for a way to play my movies purchased through itunes on my ipad when i am traveling. I have over 100 gb of movies so my ipad wont hold them all.
I already have an old seagate golfex satelite that allows me to play movies not purchased through itunes on my ipad. I just cant seemt ot play my movies purchased through itunes.
Is there a program that will allow me to do this?
Is there a newer/different wi fi enabled portable HD that will allow me to do this?
thanks

Most HDMI converters are unreliable. If you want to send the video to the TV and it has an HDMI port buy an adapter to go from your iPad mini to HDMI. Apple sells one both for 30 pin iPads and lightning connector iPads.

    Try it and let us know.
    You won't rip a hole in the space time continuum or anything by trying.
    My guess is you want some kind of simulcast thingy?

  • I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

    I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
    How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

    Hi komansava,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
    When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
    Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
    Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
    In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
    You can find this information here:
    Set up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy 

  • Playing iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

    I have the opitcal cable working. I have changed the channel seletion to surround on the movie and there is no audio. So, in short, I want to use my MacBook Pro to play iTune movies in 5.1 on a surround system. Currently, I am running OS X 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1. I can play DVD's back in 5.1, so this must be an iTunes issue. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    Channel selection on the receiver right?
    Also, do a "Get Info" on the file you are attempting to play in iTunes. Does it show Surround (or something similar) for the "Channels" tag?
    In any case, I found the following:

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I want to play a movie from my ipad on my tv, all hooked up and i get an error message that the tv isn't authorized to play it.

    I Want to play a movie from my ipad, on a tv but get a tv not authorized message, how do you authorize a tv?

    I was not complete clear.
    Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section.  If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
    If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
    But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
    In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

  • HT1657 Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

    Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

    The answer appears to be "maybe". Once the rental has completely downloaded it shouldn't need an Internet connection from then on, but I've seen reports here from people who tried the play the rental and has it insist on an Internet connection. I've never been able to spot any common factor between such reports to form an opinion as to why this happens, though it's possible that the movie hadn't really completely downloaded. But I'd advise not presuming that an Internet connection won't be necessary.
    Someone else here may have better insight into the issue.
    Regards.

  • I have just down loaded a movie on my itune using my new ipad. i have also bought and apple tv how come i cant play the movie from my ipad through the apple tv? i tried syncing the ipad to my comp and playing the movie that way but once in my itunes no mo

    I've downloaded a movie on my ipad and I've hooked up my apple tv.  Why can't i whatch the movie from my ipad through my apple tv?  I tried synching my ipad to see if, when synched, I would see the movie on my computer in itunes.  No luck there.  What am I doing wrong?  Why is it showing in my itunes on my ipad but the movie has disappeared when I look at my itunes on my computer so that I can watch it via Apple TV?

    If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.

  • How to sync and play itunes movies in 1080p hd on iPhone 4S/5/5s or iphone 6 plus

    About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes...  When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p.... So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded  I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
    <Edited By Host>

    Currently There is only one option to watch 1080P movies from iTunes on your Apple devices... With a sync with a laptop.. Apple by default sends the 720P file... Users have no option to control video download... Some like me want the full file... Some uses may think the 720P file is fine... However I see the difference... And it is big.. The iPhone has a 1080P camera... So it can play and store a 1080P file... And the screen does display a better image... Just watching a iTunes movie and shooting a video in 1080P on your iPhone and you can see the image is better.. YES it's 1080P... not 720... Apple has know from release of iPhone 5 on September 21,2012 iPhone can play 1080P file... However the system is overloaded as I seen on my Apple T.V. On Christmas say ready to pay is 8 hours 22 minutes... I pay for 50MBps download and 5MBps download.. fastest I can get in my area... It's obvious it will load Apple's network and the don't want to make the changes... Users now wanting 1080p files for iPhones/iPads.... The system load would jump off the scale... I contacted Apple told them the issues, currently they have stopped emailing me replies on the issue after issue was escalated to Apple engineers... Apple knows... Yet...
    I want control of what file I download into my device over Wi-Fi... Apple has missed the ball for over two years... Missed it rolling down the hall... Missed it bouncing down the stairs.... Missed it as it rolled across the street and is still going with no fix yet....  

  • I can't download itunes movies to my iPad; it doesn't recognize the wifi.

    I am trying to download a movie to my iPad.  I receive an error message each time telling me I must be connected to Wifi; however, I am connected.  My daughter is trying on our Apple TV and computer and receives the same error message.  We just performed the 5.1 update.  Could this be the problem?  Some internal conflict with the software?

    Try it again now.  This was a system error on Apple's end....the message had nothing to do with what was wrong (and there was nothing wrong with your setup or system).
    This started working again at about 8pm CST for me.
    This affected rentals and purchases (for me it was on iTunes through my computer hard wired to a network).
    If you look at the error message you'll notice that its a mix of upper case and lower case words and the message itself actually doesn't make much sense - my guess is that it was a meaningless error message created by developers during testing before....just a guess.

I have an iMac running OS X (10.5) and a mac mini running (10.6) this mac mini is hooked up to my tv in the living room, it also is fitted with an external hard drive (this is where my itunes media folder is located for my mac mini). I enabled home sharing on both macs and they are both authorized to play my media. I recently downloaded two movies on my iMac and transferred them to my mac mini. Now here is the problem. I can play the movies fine on my iMac but when i try to play them on my mac mini all i get is a black screen with no sound. The movie is playing on the mac mini because i see the time bar moving but nothing is on the screen.

  • Need help setting up external hardrive to play itunes on 2nd Mac

    I have my main music collection on my Mac Pro (400 gigs).  I want to be able to use my Mac Mini downstairs to play my itunes collection.  I have attempted the following steps without success:
    Using my Mac Pro, I formatted a 2TB Seagate drive into two partitions (one to use as timemachine back up for the Mac Mini) the other to copy my itunes collection to.
    I copied my entire itunes folder onto that Seagate hardrive partition which I named :"Mac mini Itunes"
    plugged in seagate hardrive to the mac mini
    Opened itunes using the hold option button to choose the iTunes library on the external hardrive
    When I chose the iTunes folder located in that "mac mini iTunes" hard drive icon on my desktop, I get the following message:
    "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission for this file"
    When I go to the Sharing and Permissions info on that "mac mini Itunes" hard drive icon, it shows "You can only read"
    Below that I see that the Name and privilege info is grayed out and I can not change anything.
    The Ignore ownership on this volume is checked but grayed out and I can not change it.
    Any suggestions on how I can use this hardrive to play my iTunes collection on my mac mini?
    Do I need to reformat the Seagate drive and do something different while partitioning the drive?
    Should I reformat it using the mac mini instead of the Mac Pro and then copy my iTunes folder to it?
    Thanks for any help

    Hello blakemj. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    For your described network configuration, you will want to reconfigure your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) as a "wireless client" to the Buffalo wireless router.
    Here's how ...
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    (Note: As a third option, you can temporarily connect the AXn directly to an available LAN port on your Buffalo wireless router during setup, and then, place it at the desired location when complete.)
    AirPort > Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing Buffalo's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
