Do iTunes movie rentals stop using drive-space after you view them

Am going on a two week vacation and I want to have as much room as possible for pictures and movies, but I want to watch a rental on the plane. Will the movie make room for my pics without a synch?

Wow that sounds great. Don't forget to rent the movies before you get on the plane and you have a month to watch them or 48  hours once you start to watch. Bon Voyage !

  • TS1717 iTunes movie rental stops playing on ipad

    iTunes movie rental keeps freezing at same point in rental is there anything I can do?

    I have the same problem. At first I got this message:
    This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB of ram. I have purchased numerous TV episodes in both HD & SD and have no issues. i rented this movie yesterday and could only play it via my Apple TV. I haven't installed the latest OS update but my itunes is up to date and like I mentioned I can play everything else.
    I just tried again after changing the setting to switch displays to save power. Now every time I try to play the movie it asks me to authorize my computer, then tells me its already authozied, then gives me a black screen in play mode with no movement on the play indicator.

  • How can I move my iTunes movies from my computer to an external hard drive? After I copy them to the drive, do I just delete them from my computer? How will I be able to watch them again?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air (July 2013) with the latest Mavericks OS X. I also have the lastest version of iTunes.
    My computer has very little memory left, so I wanted to free some up. When I looked, movies were taking up a considerable amount of space. I want to move them from my computer, but still be able to watch them if I want to later. I haven't purchased an external drive yet, because I didn't know what size to get. I also have a lot of Photoshop files that are taking up a lot of memory, so I might put some of those on too. Would you recommend a 1 TB one or bigger?
    Can you take me through the exact process of moving my iTunes movies to the external drive? I understand where to find the files (My Name<Music<iTunes Media<Movies), but am stuck from there. Do I simply drag them to the external drive and then delete them? Will this delete them from my iTunes library? How will I go about watching them again? I assumed that I would just plug the external hard drive in, click in the movie and watch. Is it this simple? I only want to move my movies, otherwise I would follow tutorials for backing up the library. Once you back up the movies, can you delete them from your computer?
    Thanks,
    Molly

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • TS4124 ie should icloud allow apple tv to play my itunes movie rentals without itunes being open on my computer

    Shouldn't icloud sent my itunes movie rentals to apple TV without my computer open to itunes?

    Do I need to back-up all my movies and songs on to a hard drive
    Yes. An Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone is not intended to be a backup device and shouldn't be treated as one.
    The virus does not allow me to open iTunes, so how can I deauthorize that computer?
    You can't. If you run out of authorizations, you can use the Deauthorize All command. Otherwise, you should probably just leave it as is.

  • Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

    I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
    And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
    Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
    Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
    (Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
    What are your thoughts, folks?

    If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
    HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
    As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

  • Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

    Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

    Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

    Error message "MPAVControllerErrorDomain error 3" will not allow me to play iTunes movie rental. I rented film 6 days ago. Please help.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • My iTunes movie rental is almost up, but it isn't even fully downloaded?

    Usually I have no trouble with downloading from iTunes, so I didn't think that it would be an issue to start watching it last night, but for some reason it stopped downloading it.  I tried watching the movie again after school, and it's stuck at the 39:38 mark.  If it isn't done downloading in time for me to watch it before the 24 hour rental period is over, am I just screwed out of the money?  I'm pretty sure at this point that I'm never going to try renting anything from iTunes again.

    I imagine this is a bit late for you, but to anyone else running into this problem, try the trick mentioned by VFSchreiber in this thread:
    Re: Why won't my iTunes movie rental play or download?
    This worked for me when I ran into the same issue (can scroll through rented movie but can't play it).  Just switch iTunes to the MiniPlayer (in the Window menu) and then back to the normal player.  Apparently, you may need to do this a few times. It sounds odd (and I didn't really expect it to work), but it fixed the problem for me.

  • My itunes movie rental keeps freezing how can i continue watching it?

    Hey rossfromwarren,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you were experiencing an issue with an iTunes Movie Rental. Due to the time limits associated with rentals, you may wish to report a problem with your purchase if the issue was not resolved before expiration:

  • My iTunes movie rentals won't play. How can I fix this?

    I've been able to purchase and download iTunes movie rentals. However, when I click 'play' iTunes attempts to play the movie but it doesn't start. I don't get a playback window only the movie title in the 'play' pane. The counter does not run.
    Can this be fixed? Is it a bug in 10.7.5 or iTunes?

  • My iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place.

    my iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place.  What is the cure?  Can I recieve credit for the rental since I could not view it in its entirerty?

    Hi Epski
    Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
    When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!

  • Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with a corrupted itunes movie rental?

    Can anyone give me advice on how to deal with a corrupted itunes movie rental? I tried to download a movie and have been continuously trying to download it through the "check for available downloads" option, but it will not download.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
