HT1657 How to play a rented movie?

I made a movie rental purchase and it apparently downloaded successfully. I cannot figure out how to play it now. It's not showing up in my iTunes library or anywhere else I'e looked. Please help!

Did this go to computer? If so what kind?

HT1657 can I play a rented movie on an Apple TV 2nd gen while downloading?

Can I play a rented movie from itunes on an Apple TV 2 while the movie is still downloading? I can watch it on the Mac that it is downloading on but the air play symbol does not appear to be apple to select the ATV. Does the movie have to completely download first?

'Make sure your iTunes is up to date 10.5 at the top where the tabs are turn on "Home Sharing" by enabling it on your MACBookPro under the advanced tab using your Apple ID and PW then turn on your AppleTV and on the far right side click on "Computers" repeat turning on "Home Sharing" on there then start your movie and click on the AirPlay Icon then select send to AppleTV! There are a few other more ways to do the same thing but thats the easiest let me Know if you need more info .

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?

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.

HT1657 how to find previously rented movies in itunes

How do I find previously rented movies in Itunes if I can't remember the specific name.

Settings - iTunes - check for rental
Once you press play you have 24/48hrs (depending on region) to view. Accessing other content or turning the device off will flush the movie, and it will need to reload

HT1657 How long does the rented movie have to play before the 24 hour limit starts?

I hit play on my rental before I was ready to watch. How far into the movie before the 24 hour limit starts?

As far as I know the clock starts immediately you start playing it. You should be able to see how long you have left - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
On your device, the time remaining for you to finish watching the movie appears near the movie title.
I assume that you are in the US ? In other countries you have 48 hours from when you start watching it, not 24

HT1657 unable to play itunes rented movie on ipad 3rd gen

Hi, I have rented a movie (the butler) on my Ipad 3rd gen, but it refuses to play: not enough storage. I meanwhile deleted all kinds of apps and photos and freed up to 3,6 GB of storage but the movie still will not play.

HT1657 How do I transfer rented movies from iPad to Apple TV

Although my Apple TV sees all my iTunes so previously purchased and I am able to download movies and other product from ITunes, the Apple TV is requesting. Three or four digit security code ending in 1359
I do not have any such code
Please help
What do I need to do to seamlessly rent or buy movies on Apple TV????
Regards,
Fernando Calero

The method is exactly the same as in previous versions of iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
The only difference now is that by default the iPad will appear as a button at the upper-right of iTunes:
Click that all all should then work as per the directions. You can also go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and iTunes 11 will then look substantially like earlier versions.
Regards.

HT1657 When I play a rented movie nothing happend what could it be ?

Any ideas of what could be happening?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

HT1657 When I try to play my rented movie I get an error 42110. Whats that mean?

When I try to play my rented movie I get an error 42110. Whats that mean?

Is this in iTunes, on an iPod/iPhone/iPad or AppleTV?
Not sure what the error number is.
If it's a portable device try restrating it by power cycling, if a computer reboot it and restrat iTunes - this may or may not work but cure an authorisation problem I had in itunes the other day.
Good luck.

HT1657 I try to play my rented movie but I get a message saying the movie requires Quick Time which is not supported?

I try to play my rented movie but I get a message sayin the movie requires Quick Time (which I have) which is not supported by this version of itunes. What Am I doing wrong?

Thank you, I think we are close but this hasn't worked since the instructions per the document call for a selection of File>get into, which does not come up as a "bold" choice and is therefore not accessible, at least on my computer. It sounds like we are on the right track but I am not able to follow the instructions since the choices, as outlined in the article, are not chosable on my menu. Not sure what the problem is?

HT1657 I'm getting a 42110 error when I try to play my rented movie. I've downloaded the movies twice but it's saying they aren't downloaded !

Perhaps try the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Itunes won't play a rented movie

Hello,
I have a Dell Mini laptop with 8GB disk space and a 16GB SD Flash Drive upon which I have installed and run Itunes Ver 8.0.2.20 with QuickTime Ver 7.5.5.
The Problem: I am unable to play a fully downloaded, rented, movie.
I am able to play movies I purchase and download and TV Shows that I purchase and download, but when I attempt to play a RENTED movie, Itunes will start, I am presented with the RENTED MOVIES SCREEN, i see the time remaining on my RENTED MOVIE, but when I double click on it to play or single click then click the play arrow, Itunes will play the first 1/2 second then lock up. I am forced to shutdown through Task Manager. At that point, upon restarting Itunes, none of the movies/shows will play (regardless of rental VS. purchase). I have to unistall and reinstall Itunes, wait a minimum of 24hrs for the rented movie to expire, then uninstall/reinstall again.
I've done this 3 times.
Admittedly, the Mini is an underpowered machine, however, it DOES play PURCHASED video just fine. Any tips or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have the exact same problem. Rented two movies, they downloaded in 25 minutes each. Went to play them over the weekend and my computer locked up, while the 24 hour clock was ticking. Had to go to task menu to end the program. Starting over yielded the same problem. The time ran out and movie was deleted but the charge was taken from my account. For the second movie I tried running it while I was logged onto iTunes. The same thing happened, only this time I had to eject from the program without being able to log off iTunes. VERY frustrating. Searched the iTunes help FAQs, blogs and forums and haven't found anything but your two postings. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? And get our movies, or money, back? p.s. The purchased movies play just fine. NOT the rented ones.

I played a rented movie in my newly bought ATV, but when i wanted to watch a TV Series i got the "Authorization is Required" !! although i have successfully played a rented movie at first !! and when checking into iTunes i couldnt find the ATV??

The ATV2 or ATV3 (small black boxes) don't show up as devices in iTunes. If iTunes and the ATV's have Home sharing turned on for the same account - and are on the same network, the ATV should show up as an AirPlay target device in iTunes.
The rented movie - was this rented on the ATV or in iTunes?
The TV series - where are you trying to play this from? Is it in iTunes or via the 'TV Shows' menu in ATV... i.e streaming from iCloud?
