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.

  • HT4095 Watching rented movie from iTunes on my iPad in the middle of nowhere...

    If I'm driving in the middle of nowhere will a rented movie from iTunes play fine on my iPad? Or not if the internet connection is potentially intermittent or sporadic?

    As long as the movie has completely downloaded, you will not need an Internet connection at all.
    Regards.

  • 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

    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.

  • Can't watch downloaded movies from Itunes on my Ipad if no WiFi.

    I downloaded movies directly from Itunes on my Ipad while I was at home using my WiFi.
    How can I watch them when I don't ave any WiFi available (on an airplaine, hospital).
    Tried to watch them and the Itunes on my Ipad  says it needs WiFI.

    Once the movies have been synced or downloaded to your ipad, you then watch them with the videos app not itunes, I believe this is why you are seeing the message stating need wifi.
    If you cannot locate videos app, do a search on the pad by swiping down slightly on the home screen to get the search bar and search Videos.

  • 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.

  • 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 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?

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • Apple TV optical audio output problem only while watching a rented movies from iTunes.

    I have our Sharp TV setup via the HDMI outputs from the Appletv and external powered speakers via the optical outputs from the appletv unit. The external speakers work fine with everything else on the appletv but not while watching rental movies from Itunes. The speakers give off a rhythmic ticking sound, no movie sounds, yet the tv does have the sound. Again, I can use the speakers for everything else from appletv. Rent a movie from ITunes and the speakers just tick. Any ideas?

    Well, I have seemed to have narrowed it down. It would seem that the problem does not lie on the appletv unit. The sound works fine if "Dolby" is turned off in the appletv settings. The speakers are 5.1, should work. Thinking that the problem is the RadioShack brand converter. Converts the optical outs from the appletv to RCA.... then to the speakers. Something must be lost in "translation". Perhaps it is the quality of the cables. Don't know. Gut says the quality of the converter. Any suggestions for a perhaps better quality converter? Or should I just say screw it and just listen without the Dolby?

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • TS2972 I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?

    I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?

    yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
    same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
    this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem.
