Can i transfer my rented movie from computer to my apple tv

just wondering can i do that..... ty

Yeah, so it's still broken for me, and moreover, the problem has passed from being irksome to a shrieking waste of my time. Here's what I've done:
0. Rented a movie directly from the Apple TV -- successfully
Then:
1. upgraded iTunes to 7.6.1
2. nuked settings for iTunes (e.g. wiped slate, restarted, re-entered all info)
3. nuked settings on Apple TV, re-entered all info
4. re-established connection between iTunes 7.6.1 and Apple TV
5. Re-tried moving the movie from iTunes to Apple TV
6. FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
I then emailed iTunes support, which was quite gracious in their reply: "We're sorry, but you have a technical problem, and here's a number for you to call. Be aware that calling Apple for tech support may cost you money."
It was at that point that I decided to give up, having little appetite for being blackmailed and insulted repeatedly. I've got a movie on my MacBook that I have little desire for watching on a 13.3" screen, and 27 days to hope for a miracle because there is zero to no instrumentation or other information I can use to debug this maddeningly stupid problem.
Please pass this information to the Apple TV developer team before deleting it (because this is an Apple forum, yanno, and this post certainly isn't singing any praises). I've got no energy to file a bug on Radar, and I'm out $2.99 and several hours of mindless troubleshooting. It's the "several hours" that's got me upset the most of all.
No thanks, Apple, you great big black void of nonresponse.

    Can I stream a rented movie from computer to tv?

    If you have an Apple TV, you can move the rented movie there to watch it. There is no way I know of to do a true stream of a movie rented from the iTunes Store, nor can a movie from there be played on anything other than an Apple device or in Apple's software.

  • How can I transfer a rented movie from one Ipad to another Ipad?

    I rented a movie on Itunes from a PC, and transferred it to an Ipad. I now would like to transfer it to another Ipad. Does anyone know how to do this? B

    Hi Technician7,
    It is true that you can "return" app licenses to Apple Configurator and redistribute that license to another iPad. The key is that both iPads must be "Supervised" in order to return the app license. See this from Apple:
    Removing apps from devices
    If you use Apple Configurator to remove a redeemed VPP app from a supervised device, Apple Configurator marks the corresponding redemption code as available. It can be reassigned to a different device supervised by this copy of Apple Configurator for this Mac only. It is not available for redemption by other Macs or iOS devices.
    If you unsupervise a supervised device, all apps will be removed from the device and the redemption codes used to install those apps will be marked available for reassignment. If you simply remove a device record from Apple Configurator, the redemption codes for any apps on that device will not be available for reassignment.
    I hope this answers your question!

  • How can I transfer a rented movie from iPhone to iPad both on iOS 5

    Ever since I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5.0.1 I have been having a few problems, one is that Safari randomly shuts down, another is that this notice board randomly shuts down and today my biggest problem is that iTunes shuts down as soon as I choose movie, so that I am unable to rent a movie from iTunes.
    I thought if I downloaded to my iPhone 4 which is also upgraded to iOS 5 that the cloud would automatically synch to the iPad .
    That didn't happen, is there a way of making this happen?

    Thanks iCrizzo. I've spent ages exploring iTunes and notice boards and manuals to find out how to do this and sadly I have to agree with you. It just does not seem possible.

    How do I transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account?  I sync my iPad with my user account and she sync's her iPad with her user account, but she wants the movie I downloaded onto her iPad.  (We use the same apple ID).

    Hold on.  I don't know if the above will work with a rented movie.  There's all kinds of restrictions on what you can do with rented movies.

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • How do i transfer a rented movie from my ipod to my computer

    I rented a movie from itunes onto my ipod. It doesn't appear under purchases but i can veiw it from videos . I decided that i would prefer to watch it from my computer (windows vista, I tunes version 10.6.3.25) but when i sync my ipod (IOS 5.1.1) it transfers my other movies that i bought but not the movie that i rented. I can't find the rented movie anywhere on my Itunes. Does that mean I cannot transfer movies that i rented on my ipod?

    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."

  • Moving Rented movies from computer to ipod

    I need some help. I have a one year old ipod classic.
    I cannot seem to move rented movies from my computer to my ipod.
    When I plug my ipod to my computer and hit the movie tap, I do not see the movie.
    The move is showing on my computer, but it does not give me a choice to move it to my ipod, like I have seen on other help sites.
    Do I need to turn something on my ipod?
    I have loaded TV shows to the ipod and watched them, but I cannot move the rented movies.
    I checked to see if I have the updated software, and I do.
    Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The iPod you have (incidentally, the same one I have) can essentially watch TV shows, Movies, and Music Videos, but no rental movies. I was met with the same disappointment when I discovered I cannot put rented movies onto my iPod. It is sort of a shame, as I'm not entirely convinced there's a hardware element missing from my iPod preventing this from being supported.
    Sorry I didn't have better news for you. You might want to consider emailing iTunes Store support and seeing if there's some way they can compensate for this, as the file purchased is not compatible with your device. Since the files are set to disappear after a certain amount of time within beginning playback, I'm almost sure they'd be able to determine whether you've viewed the movie yet.

  • HT1657 How can I delete a rented movie from my ipad before its expiration date?

    How can I delete a watched rented movie from my Ipad before its expiration date?

    Hello, K M Cartwright. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You definitely can delete the movie prior to the expiration date.  However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it.  Here are the steps on how to delete iTunes media.

  • 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
