Downloaded rental movie from iTunes cannot be transfered to new iPad

I have the new iPad. I downloaded a rental movie (Sherlock2). Tried to move it from iTunes on my mac to my new ipad, but says it can't be played on this iPad? According the specs it should be possible and the movie isn't even HD. Anyone?

Never mind. 15 minutes of research revealed that we own a 5th generation iPod, which evidently is not compatible with rentals. I am quite annoyed. Thanks Apple, for not making this clear at all in your FAQ. There should be a much more definitive description for compatibility in the FAQ, as I don't know anyone who is aware of which specific 'generation' of iPod they own. I had to go through the huge list of past and present models on the support site before figuring this out.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a refund if we have not yet attempted to play the movie on our Windows machine that we rented the movie with?

I see you have good coverage in Australia for Internet ...

I'll assume you don't have Internet Service at home, so ... first you get that. Then you hook up a WiFi router to the service in your home. Here's Apple's router. I believe you have your own Apple Store in Australia; this is the U.S. store.

Using iPad first generation I downloaded my 1st rental movie from iTunes. Says on a grey button "Downloaded." How do I PLAY the movie on the iPad? I clicked the "downloaded" button but nothing happened. Do I need a special app to play the movie? Than you.

I am trying to download a movie from itunes, but ithere's isn't enough room to download. I have a iphone4, have deleted every app possible. Slimmed down photos to hardly anything. I could never update to ios7 because of storage problems. Only 2.5 GB available out of 5GB after deleting everything. I'm also out of town and cannot connect to a computer. I have wifi access though. Help?

Update
OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps. So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
& so far it is working ok.

When I download a movie from iTunes, where does it go? I can't find it.

Yes. Once the movie file is downloaded, you won't need Wi-Fi to view it

Im trying to download a movie from itunes and it says i dont have enough memory. I can see that I have 13G in icloud but i dont know how to add the movie to that memory

Hi,
Im trying to download a movie from itunes to my ipad 2 but it says i dont have enough memory. I have 13G of space on icloud but cant figure out how to down load it to icloud. Can anyone advise please.

Hi back,
Icloud cannot be used to increase internal memory of ipads, otherwise nobody would buy more expensive 32, 64, 128 gigabyte versions. Hype with "movies in the cloud" is more of itunes store, keeping movies available for you in order to download on any device. That does not go against your storage in the cloud, though.
So if you go to your computer and you purchased movie ( not rented ) you can download and watch.
There is something else to pay attention to, your ipad (if I am not mistaken) is not capable to run HD movies, make sure you do buy Standard Definition, and they will take less space on ipad.

When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store. To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

Sounds like the movie didn't finish downloading before the Wi-Fi signal dropping ...
Try re downloading. You won't be charged again.

I downloaded a movie from itunes on my ipad. In the downloaded area where the movie should be, I only get a link to "iItunes Terms and Conditions", no movie. There is nowhere to accept the terms and conditions.

Nevermind, the movie was there in the Videos app, not itunes downloads. Thanks.

I downloaded a movie from iTunes. I wanted to burn a DVD of the movie which I could play on my home entertainment system. After I had burned the DVD I tried to play the movie from it on the computer and got the message " You can't open the application mediaioserver because it may be damaged or incomplete". What is this all about? Are there settings I need to change? PS: I tried to play the DVD on my home DVD player and it also doesn't work. Help!

Klaus: Does this mean that I can only watch this movie on my computer and ipad not on my home big screen system?

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night! Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze. When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen. None of the other videos I own will display either. Was your problem ever resolved?
