Can't Move rented movies Macbook to iPod Touch

Rented 2 Movies from iTunes.  Downloaded both to Macbook.  Syncing iPod touch to Macbook, selected Move the movies to iPod.  Received error message Cannot move movies to iPod because they are in an unsupported format.  Very Odd since they came from iTunes store and I have done this dozens of times before.  An older movie that i had ripped did transfer ok.  Movies are MPEG-4, rented "Protected MPEG-4".  I am traveling and would like to have these movies on my iPod.

Itunes support answered the question.  It happens that my version of iPod touch won't support the HD format.  Had I rented the movie in SD i would have been able to complete the transfer

    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???  

    If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

  • I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to mi ipod touch but can't find it on the device - where do I find it to play

    I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to my Ipod touch but can't find it on the device to watch it - where do I find it?

    Hi,
    Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie?  (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.) 
    Hope this helps!

  • Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later."

    Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK.  The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date.  I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • Can I view rented movies in airplane mode?

    Can I view rented movies in flight mode?

    As long as they're from the iTunes Store and have completed downloading to your iPad, yes. Once completely downloaded, a network connection should no longer be needed.
    Regards.

  • I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    I'm going on vacation and would like to have some movies rented for the flight. I won't have wifi so can i download rented movies?

    Prior to going you can rent and download them on your iPad via its iTunes store app, or rent and download them on your computer's iTunes and connect and your iPad and move them to it - they will go in the iPad's Videos app.
    Some people have posted that they need to start playing rentals whilst they still have internet connection, so you may want to watch a few seconds prior to going offline - you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires.

    Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?

    If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
    iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
    If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
    Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content.

  • HT1430 How do I delete a movie or can I move it so I can download a RENTED movie?  I appreciate all of everyone's help

    How do delete a movie download or move it somewhere so I can download a RENTED movie?

    Thank you for the reply roaming gnome.
    Unfortunately, I already have "hidden" these purchases in the past. Despite "hiding" them, they still attempt to download to my computer automatically.
    Please note, I DID NOT PURCHASE this movie. A friend purchased it for me as a gift through iTunes.
    Again, thank you for the link to the Apple Support page, but that does not resolve my issue.
    Please see the attached screenshot for what I see when I go to Purchases > Movies. Nothing shows up - presumably because I already "hid" them in the past.
    Selecting "Not in My Library" under "Movies" has the same display. The movie I want to delete does not show up under "Music" "TV Shows" "Apps" or "Books," as well.

  • We have purchased a movie on Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC

    We have purchased a movie via Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC iTunes

    Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
    What is your speed via speedtest.net
    1080p requires 8mbps
    720p needs 6mbps
    You can change to SD in settings
    Interference can cause issues, verify via istumbler or netstumbler
    Should be using ISPs DNS (settings - network - DNS should be automatic)

  • ITunes message says I can't watch rented movies!

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Quicktime 7.5.5. iTunes message says I can't watch rented movies & that I need another QT version that I couldn't remember. What should I do? Note, in System Profiler, I have QT 7.5.5 in Apps and in Frameworks.

    For now, this is correct. There will be an update to the Apple TV within the next week which will allow it to play rented content as well as rent it natively.

  • Why can't I rent movies in South Africa

    Why do we have limited functionality on the iPad simply because we linked to a South African account?
    I can't download/rent/purchase any movies or music or games! This limitation is causing me to only use certain functionality on my iPad, which considering the price of the device doesn't seem fair. With the Anroyd application store you are not limited to certain apps or downloads, however with apple everthing seems so controlled! Can someone please comment on the above.

    Why can't I rent movies in South Africa
    Because the movie companies have not given Apple permission to rent their movies there yet.
    Apple don't own or create the movies. They sell and rent them on behalf of the movie studios under license. They cannot sell and rent movies without permission.

  • HT1657 Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

    Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

    The answer appears to be "maybe". Once the rental has completely downloaded it shouldn't need an Internet connection from then on, but I've seen reports here from people who tried the play the rental and has it insist on an Internet connection. I've never been able to spot any common factor between such reports to form an opinion as to why this happens, though it's possible that the movie hadn't really completely downloaded. But I'd advise not presuming that an Internet connection won't be necessary.
    Someone else here may have better insight into the issue.
    Regards.

  • HT1657 can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    Yes. although you do occasionally hear about people having problems.  If your trip is less than 24 hours, it might be a good idea to start the movie while you're connected to WiFi (which will start the rental clock ticking) and pause it.  You're not supposed to have to do this, but some people swear it prevents the occasional glitch.  I've only rented a couple of movies and they worked find on the plane.
