Can't sync rented movie

Hi,
I recently rented a movie on iTunes for my iPod. However, I cannot seem to sync it. When I plugged my iPod in to sync, I clicked on the movies tab but the rented movie did not show up so I could not transfer it over to my iPod. I also tried clicking on the movies tab below my iPod when I plugged it in but the rented movie did not show up there either. It did finish downloading completely and it is not an HD movie format. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I am having the same issue. My purchased TV shows work. Will a purchased movie work on the 5th gen??

  • Can't sync rented movie to iPhone

    I have a rented movie that is not yet expired and has not been started. I want to move it to my iPhone. The sync starts and after the entire file has been transferred (enough free space on iPhone) an error message pops up saying I cannot sync the movie because a connection to the iTunes store cannot be established. Internet connection is there, of course, and iTunes store works fine. I tried different movies but all having the same problem. Any ideas?

    Can't offer any help other than to say I have the same exact problem and have read on this forum where others do as well.
    The only solution seems to be to call customer support and get a credit.

  • Can't sync rented movies in iTunes to AppleTV

    I recently went on a trip and rented 2 movies that I synced to my iPhone. I ended up not watching either one and when I returned, I moved them from my iPhone back to iTunes on my computer.
    I want to watch them on Apple TV before they expire in 20 days, but when I try to sync, neither movie shows up as an option in the Movies tab for Apple TV in iTunes. They do show up in the main iTunes "rented movies" tab for the computer.
    Any ideas on how to get them onto Apple TV?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah... tried that. They said they could not reauthorize. But then said it will easily just sync back to the Mac, before I set up the new unit.
    I guess they are closed for the night now - kinda wanted to get the new one set up tonight. Might just abandon that movie ??
    Hope the new setup goes OK !? Wonder if iTunes will recognize the new ATV, allow me to give it the same name, etc.
    Here goes ...
    Thanks for reply.

  • My iPod won't sync rented movies.

    I have a 30g iPod classic (not sure which generation...I bought it around 2005.
    I can sync the movies I have purchased, but I cannot sync any rented movies. It won't even appear in my sync window.
    Help?

    Hello PartyOnTheMoon,
    I have a 30g iPod classic (not sure which generation...I bought it around 2005.
    It sounds like you actually have a 5th Generation iPod video and those are not able to sync rented movies. Sorry.

  • Why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?

    I am using iTunes 11.0 and can sync a movie (Miracle on 34th Street) to my new ipod nano 7th gen but when I try a TV Show (a Planet Earth HD episode) or even a brief video clip taken with my camara I am told that such an action is not permitted on this ipod.  So why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?  Thank you.

    Before you can sync video files, it must be converted into a format compatible with ipod.  If you can’t sync a video convert it by doing the following:
    In iTunes, select the video you want to convert. Do one of the following then sync again after:
    1) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
    2) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
    I hope this works.

  • HT203180 how can I sync a movie downloaded on itunes from my personal computer that is authorized for my daughter's ipad, but the purchased movie was done under my apple id

    To start off, I absolutely do not understand iTunes.  I feel that with every new "upgrade" it becomes more difficult to use.
    We have 3 apple ID's for our home to make syncing easier and not have complications with devices.  I have a window's computer with itunes which is "authorized computer" for all 3 apple ID's in family (mom, dad, child).  We purchased a DVD with digital copy, installed and redeemed the code for the digital copy.  However, it would not allow me to "redeem" on my child's apple ID.  therefore, the digital copy went into my apple id.  Now I can not sync the movie to my child's ipad/apple id.  How can this be done?  Please help!  I know it can't be that hard, or is Apple just making iTunes worse and worse.

    The movie is from iTunes.   You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case. 

  • Cannot Sync Rented Movies to Apple TV

    I cannot sync rented movies to my Apple TV. I contacted Apple Support and they told me to update my Apple TV software (done), update my iTunes software (done) and reauthorize my computer (done). But it still won't work. It gives me the option to "move" the movie and it starts the syncing process but never finishes the process and never gives any type of error message as to why it does not complete the move. It just moves the movie back to the other side of the "move" screen. I have no problem syncing tv shows to my Apple TV. The Apple rep's response was that he recommended that I not purchase anymore rental movies. Isn't there something else I could try to fix it? Has anyone else encountered this? Thank you very much.

    DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT purchase rental movies in I-Tunes if you want to watch them on Apple TV. I rented "Batman Begins" in I-Tunes and Apple TV says it is "not authorized" to play it. I rented the "Darjeeling Trials", and Apple TV played the first few minutes - but when I paused it and came back to it, it said "this movie has expired" and even deleted the rental from I-Tunes for me - niiiice.
    My Apple TV is brand new, latest model, 160GB, latest latest software (downloaded today) and I also have the latest lates (7.1.1) I-Tunes software. IF you download thru I-Tunes, RENTALS DO NOT WORK with this software.
    Download direct to Apple TV instead (at least that works... )

  • Sync Rented Movies

    How do you sync rented movies with Apple Tv software version 2.4 and Itunes 8?

    When you rent via the tv, you cannot transfer it to itunes, nor will itunes see the rented movie.
    When you rent from itunes, it will show up in itunes as a rental, but you will need to transfer it to the tv for the tv to see it.
    So far as I know this has always been the case.
    Transferring rentals will look something like this

  • How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

    How can I sync a .mov file of a home-made video?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • 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.

  • HT4095 Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection.  I will be travelling by air and highway.  Ty

    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.

    Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
