Apple TV cannot connect to iMovie Theater Channel

SSame Problem on atv2

SArme thing here, it does even work with iCloud Foto but again and again iMovie fails.

well since iFoto Apple TV is not a very good option to access my mediathek also, (I do have 50.000 + fotos)

i use my iPad and AirDrop instead, not how it is supposed to be

WE NEED A NEW APPLE TV !

No we just need a product that is working as intended!

And if it does not, we just need a little help from our friends in Cupertino.

I am experiencing the exact same thing my Mac OS is Yosimite 10.10.5, my iMovie 10.0.9, my Apple TV software is 7.2... I found anything that says how to fix this and I don't get a sense that Apple believes this is an urgent issue. I have 5 of Apple TVs and the iMovie Theater was an awesome feature. I need it back the way it was.

Same problem here with Apple TV 4th gen. I am in France. I just unpacked my new Apple tv and I see that I cant stern my imovie theater video it really ******* me off !!!! I can have everything YouTube, Plex, Infuse, Dailymotion... as streaming video services except Imovie theater which is an Apple app !!!! I can't believe it.

CRAPP !!!!😮

Sounds weird but I was able to overcome this issue by changing the name of my Apple TV (3rd generation). I wanted to make sure that all the devices associated with my Apple ID were correct and the Apple TV was the only one with a generic name. So, I changed it to a custom name and suddenly I was able to access iMovie Theatre and ICloud Photos.

I Tried to did so but got no results. Stll not connecting to Icloud .... Thx anyway for Giving the idea

It's been reported that there's a limit of 50 movies, see Re: Apple TV 4 - cannot connect to iMovie theater

If you have more than 50, that could be your problem. Maybe recent updates are checking this limit more carefully.

I have less than 50 movies and still doesn't work. does yours work ?

Hey Guys !!

I finally found the solution that worked for me . I had a an old vid that was hidden (invisible, probably corrupted) on iMovie on my iPhone, I dont know why !!! but when I tapped (completely by chance) on the black area where this old film was located, this old film couldn't be played.. I think the file was corrupted.. 😕 . So I deleted it completely and then my iMovie Theater started to work on Apple TV 4 🙂🙂🙂 This old movie must have been there after a update or so..and remain hidden .. and it was blocking all iMovie theater on Apple TV...

so check your imovie app on your iPhone and tap on black areas just besides your visible movies ans maybe you will find a hidden movie still there.. and delete it !!!

I have this exact issue on ATV4 - updated with current TVOS as of July 2016. All other iOS devices can create and share iMovie content to iMovie Theatre.

Contacting Apple support first brought some very blank thoughts with no one really understanding the issue. Then I was told that this functionality should only work with content created on iMovie for Mac but some quick links to Apple pages and screenshot of App Store page for iMovie showed this to be false information.

This strikes me as a simple conflict between AppleTV and iCloud Drive - because there is no iCloud Drive setting on AppleTV and iCloud Drive had to be activated on the iPhones before iMovie Theatre would sync across.

Very frustrating that this is an issue first identified over a year ago however Apple have not been able to devise a solution.

Do I need to return my AppleTV unit and have it replaced?

SSame problem. So frustrating. Used to work great. Hasn't worked in months.

I started having the same problem across the 3 Apple TV's in my house which includes the latest model as well. Similar to another poster, I removed a few movies from iCloud Theater from the Theater tab in iMovie and everything started working again. I had about 45 movies (3.6GB) storied on iCloud Theater at the start of the process and removed about 10 old movies. Not sure if I hit any sort of limit but I will monitor this as I add more movies to iCloud Theater. Hope this is helpful.
