  • Transfer rented movies to apple tv?

    How to transfer rented movies to apple tv when downloaded to iMac?

    If you think you might need to watch your movie on anything other then Apple TV, rent it form iTunes on your computer. Once it is on your computer you can move it to an iPod, iPhone, and even Apple TV 2.0.
    Under this system the only thing you can't do is have an HD rented movie on your computer. iPods and iPhones can't play that anyway. Yes, I think media giants sleep safer when HD movies are not on peoples "corruptible" computers and safe and sound on an "appliance".
    The only way to make this any easier would be to allow SD rentals to transfer back to a computer but not HD. I think that would just add another layer of confusion.

  • Transfer Rented Movies from Apple TV V2 to Computer?!?!

    I rented some movies on my Apple TV. Can I transfer them to my Mac that the Apple TV is synced with? I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I know that I can transfer rented movies from the Mac to the Apple TV, but the other way???
    Please someone let me know.

  • 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

  • Transfer Rented Movie to Apple TV

    I rented movies on my mac and am trying to transfer them to my first gen Apple Tv to watch on the TV. My iTunes is showing no Apple Tv device like it used to and I can't seem to find any way to transfer these rented movies?? Help

    From the iTunes Store FAQ:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    You shouldn't need HomeSharing enabled. Just ensure to log into your Apple TV using the same apple ID used to rent the movie on the computer. Then it should show up in the Movies section of your Apple TV.

  • Can't transfer rented movies to 2Gen Ipod Touch

    I recently recently rented two SD movies from the Itunes store.  When I tried to transfer them from my itunes to my Ipod Touch (2GEN) I got an error that says they were not copied because the video format is not supported by my Ipod.  I have rented and watched movies before however that was like 5 years ago.  Is my Ipod too old to support current Itunes rented movies.  Is so, can I get my money back for my rentals?

    Are you sure they were SD? This says your iPod supports SD

  • Can't find rented movie on Apple TV

    I rented a movie using iTunes and can't find where to play it on Apple TV (2nd Gen)
    Downloaded recent firmware upgrade last night.
    Can anyone help?

    Yeah that makes sense.  When I would access "computers" through settings that's what it would tell me.
    So I checked out the link and maybe I'm utterly lost, but I don't see it helping my situation.
    I click on the "computers" icon and it tells me to turn on homesharing.  So I turn on homesharing in itunes, then go back to appletv and click on the "computers" icon again and it tells me the same thing.  I'm not seeing anything in the link that helps with that.  Am I missing something here?

  • Can't transfer rented movies to ipod

    i just rented a movie for the first time and it won't transfer over to my ipod. i try to drag it over but i get the circle/slash symbol. any ideas? i looked at the guide but there weren't any answers.

    What kind of iPod do you have? Rental Movies will only play on the iPod Classic (not the 5th Generation iPod), the iPod Touch, the iPod Nano with video and the iPhone:

    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...

  • 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.
