Can't transfer rentals to ATV1. Possible?

I thought, according to the wording of the iTunes Store rental information, that I should be able to transfer rentals of TV shows from my laptop to my 1st gen Apple TV (OS 3.0.2). However, after renting several episodes of a show, I find no option to move them to my ATV1. Works fine moving to an iPhone and back.
I see no mention of "rental" anywhere in the Apple TV device listing in iTunes.
I guess the simple question is, is this doable with a 1st gen Apple TV?
-David

My iTunes library is the primary, and I have no secondaries.
I even unmatched the ATV1 and my iTunes library, then linked them again. Still no rental block available for transferring rentals.
Just to verify, you've (Winston) linked iTunes 10.2.x with a first generation AppleTV running 3.0.2 and were/are able to transfer television rentals?

  • How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

    how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    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 or TV show 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.
    So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)

  • Can't transfer rental movie to mac!

    Ok, so I transferred a rental movie from my Macbook to my iPhone, decided I didn't like it, so I tried to transfer it back to the Macbook. When I click on "Tranfer Purchases," both iTunes and the iPhone light up for a few seconds like they're about to do something, but then nothing happens. I've tried quitting iTunes, unplugging the phone...I don't know what do! Please help.

    You have to transfer it back the same way you moved it to the phone. Go to the "Videos" tab for your phone in iTunes. Select the rental movie you want to move and click the move button, then click the Apply button.

  • Can I transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another?

    A movie I rented on one PC with iTunes Windows won't transfer to my main PC.  I'm using the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7. 
    I also have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6.  I can't transfer the movie rental there either. 
    (I want the movie on my main PC, because only that PC will show it on my TV.  Both PC's are suthorized.
    Help!

    Sorry, but rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Unless someone's found a trick I haven't seen, if you want the rental on your main PC, you'll have to pay to rent it again. As to transferring the rental to your iPhone, see:

    If you want to transfer app dat you need to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  Restoring from backup will result in your new iPod being just like your old iPOd except you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since those only get restore to the same device upon a restore.

  • How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site?  We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time.  Is this possible through a CSV?

    How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site?  We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time.  Is this possible through a CSV?

    There are two parts to this:
    1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
    2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    'Tranferring' implies the change of ownership, which isn't possible.
    If you mean share the content, this can be done by homesharing.

  • How can I transfer apps purchased from one AppleId to another due to breach of account?

    Due to a recent security breach not if my doing a user stole my apple id and needed to change appleid account.  Now as a result i've lost all purchased apps from the itune store. I would like to transfer apps from one apple id to another without incurring additional costs.  With sufficient information in direct contact with the store I should be able to transferable within the software or at very least with the itune store direct.  Perhaps this is a way of charging additional costs for same programs?
    Not a happy camper because of the theft in id but now to add insult to injury i'll have to repurchase the apps to properly sync with my devices.
    Any help would be appreciated

    You can't transfer iTunes content from one account to another. If someone had obtained access to your account credentials and you've had the account locked that should not affect the current authorizations on your computer, though it will prevent you from updating apps until you have resolved the issue. Rather than creating a new AppleID what you should do is regain control of your original Apple ID and have it reenabled with a new password, get, if possible, Apple to deauthorize all computers for your account (assuming you don't have 5 so can't do it yourself) then authorize your computers.

  • Can I transfer recordings from one box to another?

    After a month of endless problems with my BTVision box they have finally agreed I have a problem and have sent me a replacement box. Over the month I did manage to record a few items but I will lose them if I change over to the new box. Can I transfer these recordings over to the new box please??

    It is not possible to transfer recordings directly between BT Vision boxes, but it is possible to connect a DVD recorder to a BT Vision box via the SCART sockets while it is fully active, play a recording from the Recordings menu and record it onto DVD while watching it. 
    DVD recorders designed for use with computers may not include SCART sockets; you will require a model designed for use with a TV such as those made by Philips.
    Remember that it is only possible to do this in "real time" so could take several hours.  For best results start recording after starting the programme playing from the BTV Recordings menu, and stop recording before stopping the programme on BTV.
    Remember to save a title and description to the recording using the DVD recorder's software because no details will be transferred from the BT Vision service.  If you use a DVD-RW disc you will be able to create a snapshot image to title the recording with too.
    Legally recordings should only be for your own personal use and must not be broadcast again or played to an audience.
    Baffled by technology? I'll help explain - simply!

  • How can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync
