Can't Share Rented Movie from my Desktop to my Mac Mini - LAME

LAME.
Just rented a movie on my desktop expecting that I could share this with my Mac Mini connected to my TV. Can not do it. LAME.
That's my personal penalty for giving Apple $300 more for the mini instead of buying an Apple TV?
Wife is ****** that we have to huddle around my darn computer now for our date night.
No more $ for rented movies at iTunes. I'll just rent from TiVo now.

Look at it this way: instead of huddling, get close and cuddle. Sitting close together can be fun.
Doesn't solve the problem, but at least you two can be close on your date.

HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?

Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. As far as I know Apple haven't given a reason, but you can try leaving feedback for them via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

HT1657 Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on a plane !

Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on an airplane ?

As long as the films have been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them without an internet connection.

How can I move my itunes movies from my iMac to my mac mini which is serving as a media server attached to HDTV?

I want to move my itunes movies from my iMac to my Mac Mini, which is hooked up to my HDTV, so that I can save space on the iMac and use the direct source Mac Mini to view the iTunes movies that I purchase and download. Can anyone give me ideas on how to do that?

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

Can I transfer rented movies from one computer to another?

I am posting this message as every time I try to transfer rented movies from my PowerBook to my iPod get the following message.
Attempting to copy to the disk "Michael Graham's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
I have gotten this message with an iPod Classic, as well as an iPod Touch, so don't think it is the iPod, but can not be sure of that. Also have posted a message about this in past, but none of the suggestions seemed to help. In addition Apple seems to be no help. In any event if I use my dad's Mac Mini to transfer the rented movie I do not get this message. In any event I just wonder if their is any way to transfer rented movies from one my laptop to his desktop, so I then came transfer to my iPod Touch.
Thanks in advance
Michael

Can I share adobe photoshop from my macbook to my new mini

Can I share my cs5 on my nacbook with my new mini?

I know for a fact, at least for Photoshop, that the single
user license permits the license holder to install a copy
on one desktop computer and one mobile computer that
the license holder owns. This was true for PS CS5 as
well as PS CS6. The activation process will fail for
any attempt to install beyond the two devices unless
one of the previous devices is deactivated.
I have the same copy of PS CS6 on both my Mini Server
and my Macbook Pro, both of which are officially activated
by the Adobe license servers. When replacing one of my
HDD with an SSD on my Mini, I needed to deactivate the
version on my original HDD and then reactivate on the SSD.
The other thing to, is the activated license is somehow tied to
both the boot volume and like the computer hardware as well.
Example, you cannot create a clone, boot it, and run Photoshop
on it. You also, cannot boot to an external drive or even another
internal volume and run PS on another volume, unless it was
activated that way.
FWIW, direct from the Photoshop license:
2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the
primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”)
may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer
or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home
Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.

TS4526 Can't find rented movies from iTunes store

Rented a movie on Saturday from my Apple TV. I checked downloads from settings and when I did this, the wheel just kept on turning. Tried this multiple times. I even waited 1 hour. Changed my setting to regular definiton so that it would download faster. Still no results. Where can I find the movie. My acct was charged since I received an email stating that I had purchased this movie.
Now what? I can't seem to contact the Itunes store to ask them?
Thank you for any help
Izzy

I'm guessing you've given up by now or found it yourself but I just had this problem with my iPad and Macbook Air. If you go into iTunes, navigate to the library, then toggle the upper left window to 'Movies' instead of 'Music', the center menu should change to a handful of movie-related choices. The first option is 'Rented' and that's where I found my rental.

Can't watch rented movies from itunes on appleTV

I just made the switch from windows to mac world, bought macbook and appleTV - downloaded (rented) a movie off of iTunes but I can't seem to watch it on AppleTV. I can buy a movie off of iTunes and synch it with ATV but not the rented ones. Is this correct?

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.

Can I share a movie project with iTunes on my Mac and iTunes on my PC?

I have created a movie with iMovie. If I import it to iTunes, can I take that file (ie USB stick) and import it into iTunes on a PC?

Yes you can.
When you install iTunes for Windows, you should also install QuickTime for Windows. As long as you have QuickTime installed on your windows machine, it should be able to play your movies. I suggest you test it though.

HT1657 Can you watch rented movies in airplane mode?

can you watch rented movies from itunes on your iphone in airplane mode?

Actually, I just called AppleCare and they told me that an Internet connection was required. I tried it anyways. Once the rented movie is fully downloaded onto your iPad, it will appear in the Videos app, in the Rentals section. From there, even if you turn the airplane mode on, you should be able to press the play button and watch the movie. Note that I rented the movie in HD format and that I use the iPad 3rd generation.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie? I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container. You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

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

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?
