Can you watch a movie you rented from iTunes on your apple TV?

I rented a movie from Itunes on my Mac. Can I watch it on my Apple TV somehow.  I am at home now and don't want to sit and look at my computer screen.
Is there a way to stream it to the apple tv?

Assuming home sharing is enabled, the rental will appear on your Apple TV once it has fully downloaded on your Mac.

    i tried to rent a movie from itunes. First they charged me the same movie two times. Second i can not find the movie i was charged two in my itune library or my iphone. I tried to rent it again, but they asked me to pay some movie for the third time. What **** is going on here?

    Not all content types are available in all countries - in each country Apple can only sell what they are licensed to (and in some cases what a country's laws allows them to). A list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599

    If I rent a movie from iTunes will I need wifi to watch it?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • Can't watch a movie I rented

    I rented a movie.  It said there was not enough room on my Ipad, so I want to download it on my pc but it says I will have to pay for it again.  How can I watch the movie I rented on a different device?

    Hey Miranda1599,
    I see that you have rented a movie through the iTunes Store on your iPad, but you wish to view the movie on another device. There is a section in the movie rental FAQ that deals with this scenario, and it can be found below:

    Where can I watch movies that I rented?
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Can't find the movie I rented in itunes from MacBook...rediculous

    Ok I give up after searching for over 2 hours now for a movie I rented from itunes.  I used my MacBook Pro but after the movie downloaded I turned the MacBook off because I wanted to watch it later.  Now for the life of me I can not find that damm movie.  Can someone help me out?  I searched the internet but all I found where frustrated posts from people with the same problem.  This is rediculous.  It shouldn't be this difficult.

    If you have downloaded it directly to your iPad then open the Videos app and go to the Rentals tab.

  • I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

    I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

    The fix for this is supposed to be resetting the system clock to automatic time, but this, as we've seen, more often than not fails to work. After a bit of an email exchange between Apple support and myself I discovered the true fix for this issue, or at least, the one that they said to use and that worked for me.
    After resetting your clock go to the folder /Users/Shared in Finder and delete the folder "SC Info". This is a hidden folder, so the way you will need to get it to appear is to use the go to folder command (Shift + Command + G) and type in /Users/Shared/SC Info and hit enter. Change to the column view and you'll be able to see the folder there. Move it to the trash and it will go away, and take your problems with it. Restart the computer for the deletion to take effect and then reauthorize your itunes. Should play your rentals after that.
    Props to Zarchanalin for the answer!

  • Can you stream from BBCi Player using Apple TV?

    Hi All,
    Looking into getting the apple TV for my dad but want to know if it will actually come in handy so please tell me ...
    Can you stream from BBCi Player/ITV Player from laptop to TV via the Apple TV?
    Many Thanks

    I thought that members of this forum may like to see the latest, 10th August 1013,  respons from the BBC -
    Thank you for contacting the BBC iPlayer support team.
    I understand that a previous response from us didn’t resolve an issue you have with the BBC iPlayer, via your Apple TV device.
    Streaming programmes should be able to play using airplay but downloaded programmes are not currently supported on the Apple TV.
    However, we aim to resolve this in a future update to the BBC iPlayer.
    We do appreciate the time taken to report this issue as all feedback received helps us to develop and improve the service.
    Your comments have been used to inform a daily report which is sent to the BBC iPlayer team, including the head of BBC iPlayer.
    Seems we are keeping our fingers crossed that Apple and the BBC will have the same common aim in getting AppleTV to incorporate the iPlayer.
