Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

HT1657 i recently rented a movie from the itunes store in hd and closed itunes on accident and after reopening itunes i cannot find my movie rental. ive searched in my library, movies, etc. and i cannot find it anywhere

i rented a movie from the itunes store in hd and closed itunes on accident after letting it download and after reopening itunes i am un able find my movie rental. ive searched in my library, movies, etc. and i cannot find it anywhere. i did start it... but i have atleast another 20 hours to watch it before the rental expires.

Doublechecking. Did you download the rental in iTunes for Mac, iTunes for Windows, or an iOS device?

HT1657 I rented a movie from the iTunes Store, downloading to my iPhone 5, but after it downloaded, it's completely disappeared from my iPhone. I've been charged for the rental and when I go to rent it again, it says that I've already rented it

Hi - I rented a movie from iTunes and was charged for the rental. It downloaded to my iPhone 5 over wi-fi as usual, but on completion of the download, it then didn't appear in my movies app on the iphone. I can't find it either on iTunes in my account on my computer. But iTunes seems to think that I've already downloaded it, but I can't find it anywhere or watch it. Help! I've downloaded and watch plenty of movies before - this is a first. I've tried re-renting it, but it tells me that I've already rented it and if I download it again, I'll be charged a second time.
Help - anyone out there had the same problem or better still, have a solution????

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

I just rented a movie from the ITunes store ...

This is my first attempt at downloading a movie to my laptop, via Verizon MiFi 2200, to sync on to my Ipad to watch. It appears that the movie takes 8 to 10 hours to download. Is this correct? If not, what am I doing wrong. When I want to watch a movie, I don't want to have to wait a day to see it. Just doesn't make sense. Any help you all can provide will be greatly appreciate.

Further to my question about not being able to see the content, I tried to open the movie in Quicktime instead of itunes and it says, need authorisation to view content. I have never needed authorisation before and on Itunes my computer is authorised, so dunno what's going on.

I just downloaded two rental movies from the iTunes store, proceeded to sync them to my iPad, and now I can't find where they landed. Anybody know where to access rental movies on the iPad? thanks

And just in case .... You don't actually sync rental movies to the iPad....
To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad.

You are very welcome. I lived in France for a couple years and wish I could buy books from the French bookstore but cannot so am very familiar with this issue.
Part of the problem is concerned with international copyright laws.

Have you paired your Apple Tv with your iTunes account? That's how rentals and purchases are billed. If, however, you have already done that it is possible that there is a glitch in the system. I've had that happen occasionally and it usually goes away if I reset Apple Tv. On one occasion that I didn't work so I had to go to iTunes and deauthorize and then authorize this computer. Also, check to see if your Home Sharing is on (under File in iTunes). Hope that helps.

I'm trying to purchase a movie from the iTune store. I get a message that said cannot connect to iTune store. I want to know what I can do to fix this problem?

I have this problem since Hurricane Sandy hit, I had tried to purchase games and movies from the iTune store and it continues saying cannot connect to iTune store.

I know nothing about the app. Is it working properly otherwise? Did you try quitting Hooked On Words and the App Store app completely, restart the iPad and then try to purchase the app again?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of both apps that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Did you try deleting the app, reinstall it and then see if you can make the purchase? Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles on the screen and then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button to stop all of the apps from jiggling. Download the app again. See if you can make the purchase then.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Download error when renting a movie off the iTunes store app

Hi, I tried to rent a movie off the iTunes store app today(I have rented before with no problems), but when it was in the processing stage it started saying Download error. Tap to retry. Now its taken up 1.3 gigs of space but it never finish processing so its not there. Very frustrating and i cant fix it.

Apple Tech support doesn't respond here. This is a user-to-user forum.
You can always restore your Touch to get the memory back. And as, of course, you have everything properly backed up (you do, right?), you can just reload when you're done. I don't know as there is a faster solution.
Best of luck.

Do you have to have wifi to download movies from the iTunes Store?

Do you have to have wifi to download a movie from the iTunes Store?

You have to have a internet connection of some type, yes. You can enable the option to download over cellular, but keep in mind movies tend to be very large files.
