How many times can you watch a rented movie in iTunes?

Title describes the question. I'm thinking about either buying or renting a movie in iTunes, so question is how many times can you watch a rented movie? Just once? X times within a given timeframe? Thanks,

You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. Happy movie watching!

  • Movie rental Q: How many times can you watch the film within 48 hours?

    It's just I have 8 hours left on Into The Wild and I fancied watching it a second time, only it is not playing when I click on the thumbnail. It just says "accessing the iTunes store" for a few seconds. I've tried clicking play. Other films appear to work ok, just not this one. I assume that if it doesn't let me watch it a second time iTunes will give me free movie rental credit.

    According to the FAQ "Once you've started to watch the movie, you have 24 hours to finish watching the movie (even if you start watching before the download is complete). You can watch the movie as many times as you want within this 24-hour period": iTunes Store movie rental usage
    If you are having problems you should contact iTunes Store Customer Services.

  • How many times can I watch a purchased movie?

    Dear community,
    I just downloaded a movie via the iTunes store and I watched it successfully.
    At my second try to watch it again, I received a message saying: "You can't watch this movie on this PC."
    Anyone had this issue too?  I'm using iTunes 10.4 on Windows7 PC and this was my first movie download.
    I paid 9.99 EUR for this movie (Salt) !!  I can't believe that this purchased movie can only be watched once!!
    Thanks for the feedback!
    Best regards

    You own it.  You can watch it as many times as you like.
    What exactly does the error say?

  • How many times can you download a purchased tune from iTunes?

    I am in the process of cleaning up my itunes. I am deleting duplicates. I find that I have duplicates of purchased tunes. Don't know how this even happens but now that I've put 700 duplicates in the wastebasket, I find a lot of purchased tunes gone from the library. The view in the trash does not include artists name so if you don't know the specific name of each song, ouch! My thinking was that if I could redownload tunes that I purchased already from Itunes, I could save my self a lot of work. Any help would be appreciate guys.

    +When you buy a song, video, iPod Game, or album from the iTunes Store you are entitled to download it a single time. If you want to download it again, you must purchase it again. You can copy downloaded content between authorized computers.+
    +Important: Make a backup of the content you purchase. In case of data loss, including hard drive failure or replacement, accidental deletion, and so forth, you'll be able to restore it from the backup. See How to back up your media in iTunes for instructions.+

  • HT1657 Can you watch a rented movie in flight

    Can you watch a rented movie from iTunes in flight?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • How many times can I watch a TV Show I've purchased?

    If I buy a season of The Rachel Zoe Project and have it streamed directly to my HD TV, how many times can I watch any given episode.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As many as you want.

  • HT204370 How many times can I watch the movie I just downloaded?

    How many times can I watch the movie I just downloaded?

    You can watch it as many times as you like, there is no limit. If you take a backup of it (even if you are in a country where films can be re-downloaded for free, there is no guarantee that they will remain in the store for future re-downloading) then you will be able to continue watching it for years to come.
    Film rentals are different, in that when you start watching it you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, before it expires - but during that time you can watch it as many times as you like.

  • How many times can you resend an iTunes Gift Card?

    Tried sending an iTunes gift card to a @facebook account but the recipient hasn't received it.
    Is it possible to send to another of their @facebook accounts and if that also fails then to a conventional account?
    I guess my question is how many times can you resend on Gift Card and to how many different email accounts?

    To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
    Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
    You'll need to be signed in...
    Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
    On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
    Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
    Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
    There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
    Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
    iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

  • How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

    How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

    Hi colman Prez;
    Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
    I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
    I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.

  • HT1977 How many times can you download an app?

    I have purchased an app from itunes store, my family has alot of devices and i want that app on all of them. we upgrade alot so how many times can you upload an app? Unlimited?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can download an application in all the devices with your Apple ID as many times as you want for free. You may have to pay again for it if the developer releases an update and wants to make it paid.
    It's recommended to have the same Apple ID in all your family devices, but you can also use it with a different Apple ID. In that case, you will have to let your family know your Apple ID password to update the application

  • How many times can you transfer music

    Hi,
    Over the last few years we have had laptops breaking down and have had to transfer music and I was wondering how many times can you transfer from computer to another computer?
    Please help because at the moment I am slightly confused!

    Once you no longer use a machine, you are deactivating the iTunes library on that computer, right?
    You have 5 total simultaneous activations per music library managed by a single Apple ID. As long as you deactivate unused systems, within that limit of 5, you can transfer at will.

    Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:

    iPod touch is disabled
    You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
