Noticed a problem with my Apple TV in that I can’t rent any movies on it….
Normally when you use the Apple TV, on the Movies tab it should look something like this.
However on my Apple TV all I can see is the In Theatres option and no others. I am logged in, but this doesn’t seem to make a difference, I know I am logged in as I can use Home Sharing to access my iTunes collection on my iMac. I know the Apple TV has access to the internet as I can view the movie trailers (as well as other content from the Internet tab).
Things I need to try are:
1. Logging out and logging back in again with my Apple ID.
2. Reset the Apple TV, this means then reconfiguring it for both my wireless network and logging in again with my Apple ID.
3. Restore the Apple TV to it’s factory state, though this means as well as reconfiguring access to my wireless network, logging in once more, I will also need to install the two recent updates.
Hopefully the first option will work, otherwise it’s reset and restore time.
