HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

Yes that's perfectly possible.
The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.

  • Cannot stream movies from itunes to apple tv 1st generation

    Hi,
    I have an apple tv 1st generation and whenever I'm renting movies I would like to play them via streaming on my TV. Unfortunately I have to wait until it's fully downloaded and then I have to transfer them to the Apple tv.
    Can someone tell me if there is a way to be able to stream rented movies from Itunes to the apple TV without having to wait until it's fully downloaded?
    I'm using a macbook pro with mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Any help would be so much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If you rent via your Mac then you have to wait until it's full loaded. If you would like to stream then rent directly on the Apple TV

  • Can't move rented movie from itunes to Apple TV (1st gen)

    I have rented a movie through iTunes but cannot transfer this to my Apple TV (1st gen). I have tried dragging and dropping the movie into the Apple TV device section on iTunes but it won't allow me to do this. I have tried syncing and this has made no difference. No rental section appears on the Apple TV either. Can anyone suggest what else I should try? I have an Australian iTunes account.

    Steve: I know this does not solve your current problem, as it is a strange one, but wht not report the problem download to the itunes store, get a credit then rent it again on your ATV. It might be a slower dl but at least you do not have to wait for a sync as the movie will be erased after you watch it anyway.
    Good luck

  • Why does it take so long to stream movies from itunes with Apple TV?

    Every time I try to rent a movie from iTunes, it says it will take minimum 40 minutes to load.  Just now it said 5 hours and 30 minutes!!
    What is the deal?

    This is likely due to your network.
    Check www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD
    Check for interference (check www.istumbler.net for mac or netstumbler for windows)
    Make sure you're using your IsPs DNS

  • Cannot rent movie via iTunes on PC - says I must connect to a wi-fi network...?!?

    Hi everyone
    I have iTunes for Windows installed on my Windows 7 PC and I've just tried to rent a movie. When I click on "Rent" it asks me for my Apple ID (as expected) but when I enter it I then get a message saying "This Item Cannot Be Downloaded on This Network. You must connect to a Wi-Fi network or download it on your computer"....which is kinda wierd becase I am on my computer, connected to my Virgin broadband modem via Ethernet.
    Everything else on iTunes seems to be OK...can anyone shed any light on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Many thanks...

    Getting the same issue that has poped up in the last day or 2 for me but I am not completely sure when I downloaded my last tv show off itunes outside of maybe sunday. But im on Windows 7 64-bit, Itunes version is the most recent one that is released (10.6.0.40). Internet is connected through a Cisco wireless router E2500 which is directly pluged by a ethernet cable into my desktop. The router is connected to my RCA modem which is provided by Mediacom.
    Internet connect is stable and running fine and I am not seeing any kind of error messages on the modem itself that would be creating this problem. I have reset my router, modem, computer to see if that was creating the problem but nothing is working. I have also attempted to bypass my router and just connect my computer directly to my cable modem and I am still getting the same error message.
    I can not download any new tv show off itunes (Attempted to get the free episodes of The Killing) as well as I am unable to download previous shows I have bought in the past though the purchased option. Itunes does allow me to download patches to app's as well as podcasts but it will not let me download a tv episode even a small size one like a preview of 4 minutes.
    But outside of any other things I can think of I have no other ideas on how to correct this problem outside of contacting apple but I got a feeling they might blame it on the cable company which I doubt that is the case. But I hope the information I provided will be of use to trying to troubleshoot this problem.

  • Rented movies from iTunes to Apple TV

    How do I get a movie that I rented on iTunes from my computer to the Apple TV?

    I'm not sure this will work or not as I only did it one time. If you have iTunes loaded, pull down the "File" menu and toward the end, a sync option is available. FYI, you can't transfer movies rented from the ATV back to your computer.

  • I would like to setup Apple TV in a business environment on a guest Wi-Fi and cannot get out to iTunes with Apple ID?

    I would like to get Apple TV working in a business environment but when I try to login to iTunes or iCloud using Apple ID no connection is made. I have verified network settings and am getting a DHCP address but is there something in the Access Point for the Wi-Fi connection I need to do? I also cannot see Airplay from any device iPad or iPhone.

    If the guest network requires you to do a web sign-in first before you can access it, and most do, you can not use ATV for it.

  • Cannot sign in to iTunes with apple ID

    I am having trouble signing in to iTunes and iCloud with my apple ID on the iPad.

    Well, what happens when you try to log in?  Any error messages?

  • When i try to rent movies from itunes the apple tv tells me to go to the itunes store for credit card authentication

    I've logged into the itunes store and applied a different credit card.  I've updated the software on my Apple TV and even turned it off and back on by unplugging it.  Twice, I have either not rented or rented from a different location.  How can I fix this and how can I test it without renting something that I don't need right now?

    If you look back at my post I said make sure the security code is entered. If you have then great, but that is the first thing that causes issue in regards to verification.

  • HT1657 I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?

    I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?

    What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
    If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
    If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.

  • ITunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync.

    iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here
