I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it. I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer. When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere. How do I watch the remainder of the rental?
I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh. -
What do you do if you rent a movie and can't watch it due to the download speed. Refund from Apple?
Two questions:
1. Is it normal to take 555 minutes to download a movie from Itunes ?
2. I have rented several and can't watch them because of a long download time. What do you doTest your sustained internet speed at speedtest.net. See what your result is - if you have a very slow connection it's not really Apple's fault but they don't publicise the requirements that well (yes you can find them in footnotes etc but they're not in the main sections of product descriptions).
HD needs 6-8 Mbps for near instant playback. I only get 4 Mbps - it takes 40-45 mins for a film to prebuffer.
Fort SD you'll get away with slower speed of around 3 Mbps.
The problem with the AppleTV 2 is that once a download starts, doing other things with the unit unfortunately often erases the downloaded part so when you go back to see how long it'll take it starts over again.
You can try changing rentals from HD to SD in Settings for iTunes store, but tyhis will not apply to things already rented.
If your speedtest.net result is good, then it may be another issue entirely and you may want to take it up with Apple.
You can also rent some titles in iTunes and then stream them once they're downloaded which allows you to use AppleTV 2 for other things in the interim - they appear on AppleTV 2 under Computers>Your iTunes Name>Rentals. Not all things are available in iTunes though. -
When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.
If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed. -
I tried to rent a movie (Mean Girls) to watch with my daughter this evening. It was downloading really slow. After about 45 minutes it had only downloaded about 5%. my daughter gave up and went to bed. Can I return this and get my money back? I was trying to download it on Apple TV, but it wouldn't work, so I purchased the rental from my I pad. It would have taken hours to download at that rate. Usually I have no problem.

I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.
I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup. -
We accidentally pushed the back button while watching a movie and lost the move. We went to the rent section which said we already rented it and told us to go to settings and downloads to download. There is no downloads under settings, how do we get our move back???
When I see a question I think I know the answer to, I'm there.

Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?
Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
Using current version IPad mini.

Downloading Movie. Can I watch something else?
I have a new Apple TV 2 and have just rented my first movie. It is taking a long time to download. Can I watch something else while the download continues? I would like to watch something from Netflix.
Thanks.AppleTV2 downloads rentals to it's solid state memory which is about 8GB split between various tasks (eg photos for streaming, movie rental, buffering local conetnt etc).
The trouble is there's no clear idea of how this memory is managed though from my experience and other reports it seems that a download is not necessarily 'protected' from being wiped by other actions.
I rented a small SD movie of about 1GB - watched it through, then next morning a relative who'd fallen asleep decided to watch again (well within the view period). The movie unfortunately had to be downloaded again from scratch, as something as simple as playing a few audio tracks seemed to have flushed it from memory. Maybe it wipes after a full view anyway, but this seems daft as to rewatch within the view period you end up wasting your bandwidth and Apple's which makes little sense.
So, while you could certainly watch something from Netflix i would not be surprised if that then forced a redownload of the rental.

I had to reset my ipad and 3 movies rented dissapear. how can I get it again if i have not watched yet?
You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download of them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.
Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.
If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
In both cases...
If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world. If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie. I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection. -

With the newest Airport firmware (7.6.1), it seems I should be able to do this.
Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?
If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=3a
I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
Good Luck. -
