How can watch film rentals purchased in iTunes on mac on apple tv 2nd gen?

I just rented an HD film on iTunes (latest version) on my MBA.  Home sharing is switched on on MBA, and on Apple TV, but the new film doesn't show up in the relevant Library on Apple TV.  I've just read that in this case, you have to wait for the film to finish downloading completely in iTunes first.  How annoying!  Is there any way around this , I wonder??
Thanks.  Giorni

Many thanks, vazandrew.  I wanted to rent it directly in Apple TV, but the latter frequently (but not in every situation) rejects my password. Applecare believed they had fixed that some time ago, but now it's back!

  • I have an ipad2. PLEASE can anyone tell me if I can watch a movie purchased from iTunes without wifi (after I have downloaded the movie and hit play while connected). My husband is going for chemotherapy and the hospital does not have wifi.

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • How can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, i have done command-r

    how can i get mountain lion reinstalled if my mac says apple id never purchased? hd failed 2 wks after wty expired, I am the original owner, put another hd in, done command-r & sys reinstalled, but it wanted to update & now am stuck. I don't mind paying for mountain lion; it is too far to get to an apple store. but, i only have one mac, so i cannot download with another mac. lots of other apple, but only one mac.

    You will need to do a network recovery:
    Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I make a purchase from iTunes in Honduras!

    iTunes is finally available in my country! However, even though I input all the information I was asked, Apple asks for a zip code.   If Apple finally decided to open iTunes for Central America, it should know the fact, we do NOT use zip codes.  How can I make a purchase?

  • How do I play iTunes LP content on Apple TV 2nd gen?

    I've just upgraded my Apple TV 2nd gen, and iTunes on my Mac.
    I can't figure it out. Is it possible to play iTunes LP content ("CDs extras") on Apple TV?

    No, only AppleTV 1 did that and until recently ony AppleTV 1 did iTunes Extras.
    iTunes Extras have just been added so maybe hope for itunes LP, though I gather Extras is streaming only and old itunes downloaded Extras may (I haven't tested yet) be incompatible.

  • HT203167 how can i recover past purchases from iTunes that were bought under my account but were on a different computer that is now dead? I have a new computer but my past purchases are seemingly gone.

    I had an old DELL in college and a 120gig ipod.  Both the computer and ipod have, "gone to a better place," and now i have a MAC Book Pro and the iphone 4.  On my old computer i had bought and downloaded various tv shows, movies, and music from itunes.  I am wondering if it is possible to recover those products that I had bought a few years ago and transfer them onto my new computer and itunes account.  They are seemingly lost and it bothers me because I bought them and I feel as if they should be mine regardless of having a new computer and iphone.  Somebody please help me.  thank you

    Depending upon what country that you are in (the types of content that can be re-downloaded varies by country), and whether they are still in the store, you might be able to re-download some/all of them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the left-hand side of the iTunes store home page : re-downloading.

    I haven't added any music to my iPod in quite a while but I recently purchased an alblum on iTunes but I can't get it transferred to my iPod.  This should be an easy procedure, I think, but an hour and a half of frustration is all I have received.
