Apple TV required a reload of a movie that was already downloaded.

I rented a movie through iTunes and it said that I had 30 days to watch it after finished downloading it.  My Apple TV connects through WiFi so the HD movie took hours to download.  Now that I'm ready to watch it 3 days later and pressed Play, it said that the movie is being loaded AGAIN and will take the same amount of time.  Is there something wrong with my device?

Forgot to say that if you are on a very slow connection it can be better to download yo iTunes and/or adjust quality from 1080p to 720p or SD (appleTV settings for iTunes store) - the rentals are the same size as purchases in iTunes store for these quality settings.
For near instant streaming ou need:
2.5Mbps for SD
6 Mbps for 720p HD
8 Mbps for 1080p HD
If you download to iTunes the rental is available once FULLY downloaded for 30 days to start watching (with 24-48 hours to watch once started depending on where you live).
On AppleTV with Home Sharing enabled and itunes with Home Sharing enabled and itu es running on local network you can then stream locally from itunes under:
Computers > iTunes Library Name > Rentals
The Rentals row only shows when there's a rental in itunes.

  • Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers.

    Editing a movie that was already cut together without transcoding .h264 footage to proresslt. I want to transcode full clips that are used in the edit, but not any of the leftovers. Is there an efficient way to this?
    I'm thinking I can convert the files with Compressor and place them in a new folder with their original file names (not sure how to get compressor to do this yet) and then do a major "Reconnect Clip" afterwards.
    Not sure if there's a more efficient way to get all the clips in the timeline to compressor. I want the full files, not a sequence export. I can go through one clip and a time and add the master file. I'd rather not.
    The more automated processes the better.
    Thank you. I'm currently working so I don't have the time to scour the forums. Help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.

    yeah Media reconnect can be an issue.
    Will Media Manager convert files? Another thing I was thinking was to Media Manage the sequence out, copying all the used files to a new folder, and then running that through compressor. But it still leads to a massive reconnect. Fine tuning all those edits would be less involved than re-editing the whole thing, I hope.

  • HT1657 Do I need an Internet connection to watch a rented movie that has already downloaded?

    Do I need an Internet connection to watch a movie I have rented and already downloaded to my iPad. In other words, do I need an Internet connection to start watching the movie after it has fully downloaded?

    Not really, as long as you have finished downloading your rented movie successfully.

    Hi michael emerald,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you would like to download your purchased content directly to your iPad and not have to go through iTunes to sync it. You can download individual purchases directly from the iPad using the Purchased section. Please use the attached article as a reference. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Have a great day,

  • HT5085 I need to delete a movie that isn't downloaded all the way on my 5s

    I have an iPhone 5s I've got a movie that I have downloaded but not all the way and I want to delete it I've swiped it left and right I've held it down still nothing please help

    Thanks for the reply but it doesn't do anything if I try and delete it as you said.  I go to the store, it shows it there but won't let me do anything with it & when I try & download or update anything now it just shows the app as blank no photo & won't update or download just says 'update' I click to update & nothing happens. it shows as a grey square on the main screen and says waiting. Well life is too short I will have passed away by the time anything actually decides to work! Getting really fed up with ' Apple'.

  • HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

    I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
    in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
    In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
    I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content.  I no longer can.

    There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
    Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

    Hi to all. I do have a problem with my apple Tv. I can't play the HD movies that I have in my external hard drive which is connenected to my macbook pro. Some of them don't play at all and it's switching off the XBMC, and some of them are just starting for a few seconds and then is getting paused trying to buffering for a long time. The simple avi movies are playing with fewer stops for buffering. What is the problem? Can you help me?
