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.

  • 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 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.

  • Can't play a rent movie by itunes on AppleTV.

    I rent movies from itunes and everthing works on my iphone. I can watch the movie without problem. When I try to stream it from the iphone 4 to my appletv 2 by airplay - the movie appears for 3 seconds in the apple-tv-menue, but then it disapperas suddenly and I can't watch it. I have the newest software update.
    I have the same problem also with bought movies - sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    Help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • 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 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 home movie from iTunes to iPhone 4

    Whether I use Hand brake or Winx DVD Ripper to transfer my 6 min. home movie to iTunes, it will not transfer to my iphone 4. it does play in iTunes.
    I made sure to choose 640p and H.264 and still it wont transfer.
    I was suspicious with early attempts because, although they played in iTunes there was an icon under the movie (a cirlcle only half blue). This last time, pre-setting with 640p the movie had a fully blue circle (what does this mean?) and when I synced it actually said "syncing movie..." But, it did not appear in my photo album! I'm really frustrated, spending hours on this. Can anyone help?

    Holy crap you guys! I'm spinning with outstretched arms knocking stuff over jubilantly screaming "YESSS"! while you guys sit, spinning in your chairs saying "great we saved another idiot..."
    I was told my videos would appear in my photo album.
    Thank you. ThanK YOU! I need to go have some fun now. Wow, it looks great!
    Thanks again. Am I really an idiot...

  • 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 move rented movies from iTunes to AppleTV

    I have a rented movie queue in my iTunes library and would like to watch it on my AppleTV. Can't seem to figure out how to move it? Running iTunes under Windows XP. Thanks.

    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 iTunes Store?

    I press the rent button nothing happens

    To add a bit to what Francisco said, movies will come to other countries if and when the movie studios allows Apple to provide movies outside the US. Apple has said that they hope to be allowed to do this sometime this year, but there is no guarantee that the studios will indeed come through. It's out of Apple's hands.

  • Can i sync dvd movies to itunes?

    hey i have a couple dvds and i want to sync them to my iphone anyone know how?

    Doing so is against the terms of use for these discussions due to copyright issues. This involves more than making a copy - it involves changing the original format which is may not be kosher with the party that owns the distribution rights for the content.

  • 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?

  • 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,

  • Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

    can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.
