How do I get rented movies from MacBook to appear on Apple TV?

I can buy movies and they appear fine, but when I rent a movie on MacBook for play on Apple TV, nothing appears in Apple TV under Movies. (And I've updated the firmware on Apple TV).
Any guidance?

You may well be right, the opening paragraph seems to support you in the sense that you can watch them on the tv, but the whole issue of transferring it to the tv is a little vague.
In essence it may well be that simply watching the movie via streaming is what most people will want to do anyway, if that is indeed how it works.
If transferring is allowed then I assume this would be a straight transfer and not a sync, since only one device can have the movie at a time.
In my situation my goal would be to rent from the mac and stream it to my tv's since I have more than one of them. If however I have to transfer it to watch it, this then causes a problem. If we assume for the time being that movies can be transferred to the tv but not the other way around, I have no way to move the movie back from tv #1 to itunes to send it to tv #2.
I'm now less certain than I was but I'm still inclined to think that we won't be able to transfer rented content from itunes to the tv, but I have to wonder if this will really be an issue for most of us.

  • How do you transfer rented movies from a mac book to apple tv?

    I have downloaded some movies onto my mac book pro, but want to watch them on my apple tv. How does one transfer from the computer to the ATV?

    I'm pretty sure you can't. I complained about this because I couldn't even airplay a rental movie from my ipad to my Apple TV. The support team game me a free rental for my troubles and said if I want to watch rentals on my Apple TV then I must rent it from my Apple TV. The rental prices and restrictions are bad enough, not being able to stream it to my Apple TV is just ludicrous.

  • Question about getting rented movie from Macbook to Tv

    I rented a movie on my MB yesterday while on the road, today I decided to watch the end of the movie on my tv at home.
    TV:
    setting>computer>add shared itunes Lib>Entered the code on my MB
    My MB itunes is showing on TV but can't find the rented movie??/
    Clicked on TV in itunes, I get only 2 tabs, Summary and Photos. Under Summary I am missing Automatic Sync or Custom Sync and no Rented Movie frame. No option to choose what movie, music, podcast etc.. I want to sync . Looks completely different that what I obtain on my G5????
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    F

    Yep - only one at a time. You can stream from more than one though. I have a primary Library that I use for syncing (I only sync photos and all the other content shows up automatically under "My Music, My Movies etc").

  • How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd?

    How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd to be able to play it on a dvd-player? Tried exporting it but when I burnt it, it doesn't work on the dvdplayer. There is no idvd on my new macbook pro and I'm new to both mac and iMovie.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD

    How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc?

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    Hey SwimmingInSaline,
    Great question. The following resource outlines how to share a movie to iMovie Theater. If you have an iCloud account, movies you send to the Theater automatically appear on all your other devices, so you can easily watch your movies on your other computers, your iOS devices, and your Apple TV.

    In iTunes turn on homesharing.
    On your ATV turn on homesharing.
    The ATV should then see your computer as long as you enter the same id on both machines.
    Your content should then appear under the computer setting on the ATV, then watch away...

  • How to get rented movie from iphone to computer?

    hello,
    thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I'm trying to figure out how to get a rented movie from my phone to my computer. when I plug my phone in to sync...and go to rented movies...the movie is listed there, but is grayed out.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    steve

    Sorry, but Johnathan's answer is not correct. You can easily move your rented movie from your iPhone back to your Mac.
    1) Connect your iPhone to your Mac and open iTunes.
    2) Click on the the icon for the iPhone.
    3) Click on the tab marked Video.
    You will see a list of rented movies on your Mac and another list of rented movies on your iPhone. Each movie will have an arrow marked "Move" next to it pointing to the other device.
    4) Click on the arrow marked "Move" to transfer the rented movie from your iPhone back to your Mac.
    5) Click the "Apply" button at the bottom right hand of your screen on iTunes. Your iPhone will then sync and the rented movie will move to your Mac.
    You must be connected to the internet to make this work, as iTunes will connect to the iTunes Store to validate the transfer.

    Welcome to the Discussions.
    You can set up a network between the two with an ethernet cable (or through a router if you have one). iFelix has a good file sharing guide for Macs-PCs.
