Apple TV - rented movie, stopped midway, now can't watch 2nd half.
No option to "return to rented movie" - screen only says "go to Settings, find Downloads, then Download" or something similar.
***? I went to Settings and there is NO Downloads option. Anywhere!
I think Apple is losing it. FIrst my iPhone 4S, which I was tricked into loading the new operating system which is HORRIBLE. Am now looking at moving back to Android. And now Apple TV seems screwed up. Jesus, is this the end?

If you rent it on your Apple TV then that is the only place that you can watch it - from the HT1657 page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't know, I don't think that Apple have said.

  • How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    How can I change the CC size of Apple Store rented movies on the 3rd generation Apple TV (iOS 6.0)?

    So, mich, according from what I've figured out that's not possible on Apple TV. What I actually think is lack of features. Any free software avaliable on Internet has suck a basic feature like that...
    I've contacted Apple about it too, but I think they don't care about me!

  • HT204370 Rented movie stopped playing

    I was watching a rented movie thru Apple TV and it stopped playing with a message that Apple TV was not connected to the internet. I check everything and it is fine. How can I restart a partially watched rented movie? All I can find is the option to rent it again.

    Yes you'll get charged.
    If you're in US you have 30 days to START watching but once you do you have 24 hours to watch - too short IMO.
    In UK you have 48 hours to watch after choosing play.
    Poor experience regardless - raise a query ticket via itunes store support or through your itunes account pages.

  • HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?

    Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?

    Hi fiercestorm,
    It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Closed Captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies?

    Is it possible to select closed captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies? I rented a movie and did not see the closed caption option. Is it possible that only certain movies have the closed captioning option, or none.
    I would appreciate any information regarding this subject.

    You can turn on closed captioning in the AppleTV settings. Go to Settings > Video.
    It is possible that not all rented movies will have closed captions. It is up to the movie studio to provide CC with the movies files they give to Apple for hosting.

  • HT1657 Can I get a refund for rented movies I didn't get to watch?

    Uninstall and then reinstall the iCloud control panel on your computer.

  • I have updated to iOS 8 and 8.0.2 and now can't watch, download or stream videos in certain apps; google chrome, BT Sport for example.

    I have carried out all the updates and now can't watch or stream videos in a few apps, anyone else having dramas with iOS 8? WHAT GIVES APPLE???

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • What type of movies and tv shows can I watch on the iPad?

    What type of movies and tv shows can be watched on the iPad without having to spend money purchasing from iTunes. I'm guessing Netflix streaming is available, but what other types. Does Tivo tranfer work, any others? Thanks

  • HT4557 If I rent a movie on my iPad can I watch it on apple tv

    If I rented a movie on my iPad through iTunes can I watch it on apple tv?

    I dont think so.  I believe it requires internet to start watching, but you can continue watching offline.  I am really not certain I dont really rent things, I prefer to own my content.

  • HT1498 rented movie on iMac how can I play on apple tv ?

    rnted movie on imac, how can I play on apple tv

    iMac need to be on with iTunes running and Home Sharing enabled on the imac and AppleTV.
    Provided the movie has FULLY downloaded to the imac you should be able to play it on AppleTV using the Computers icon.  The iMac may say it's ready to watch but it won't show on AppleTV until fully downloaded.
    Under Computers you will have options for Movies, TV Shows etc.
    Select Movies and any available rentals will be seen in a Rentals row that appears only when a valid rental is available to play.
    Do not try to play from the main menu movies icon (logical if it allowed you to but it won't!).

  • My rented movie stops at a certain spot in the movie, and wont ever play again. WHY

    Whenever i try to play 21 Jump Street as a rented movie it stops at 8:16 and wont play again. Restarting itunes doesnt help.

    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.
