how to watch itunes movies on tv from iphone

Before you do this make sure you unselect the option that says ‘Copy files to media folder when adding to Library.’ If that box is selected it will try to copy your movies from your external drive to your computer’s internal drive, and fill it up.

If you want to add files from a media server or external Hard Disk to be able to view them on your Apple TV as well, you can leave them in place on your media server but you need to drag them into the new TV app on your computer. Turn on Home Sharing to see movies in Apple TV To turn on sharing for your media Library you need to go into System Preferences, then ‘Sharing’ and then select the box that says ‘Media Sharing’ and then select the box that says ‘Home Sharing.’ Now all the movies that were in your old iTunes Library will be available on your Apple TV. (It’s not been moved to the TV app – that’s where I went looking!) In Catalina it’s been moved from iTunes into the System Preferences. Previously you need to go into iTunes and select ‘Turn on Home Sharing’ from your iTunes App. In Catalina Apple changed how you turn this sharing on and off from your Computer. But these movies need to be shared from your computer to Apple TV. I hope that this is helpful and works for others in a similar fashion.In Apple TV there’s an option called ‘Computer’ where you can stream movies that are stored on your computer. Or at least for me and my wife as of December 2017, we are getting 48 hours. We also now get 48 hours instead of 24 hours to review the Movie 🙂. The key is for some odd reason, Apple needs to have the Movie started and cached and then when you go into Airplane Mode to watch the movie. The resolution is quite simple.BEFORE you place your phone in Airplane Mode.you MUST attempt to watch the first few seconds of the movie while connected to wireless (Airport Wireless, Home Wireless before you left home, or MiFi wireless).

Step #3: You try to watch your downloaded Movie and NO DICE 😟! Step #2: You hop on a plane and then put your iPhone in Airplane Mode Step #1: You go to iTunes Store and download your favorite Movie This was not a problem in years past but as of December 26, is a problem. I am posting this in hopes that Apple will wake up and FIX this problem.
