How do I restart a movie I rented from iTunes store?

Didn't finish watching movie and can't restart the film.  AppleTV keeps looking for authorization of computer that the film was downloaded to.  When I attempt to authorize iTunes says the computer is already authorized.  Cannot restart from either my computer or Apple Tv.  Would like to finish watching movie.  Any ideas??

It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

    Hello ktsuchiya
    If you can get your rental to download by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • 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!

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to copy on a USBpen a film rented from iTunes Store?

    Is it possible to copy on a USBpen a film rented from iTunes Store and watch it on a TV, for istance, by a Play Station or a TV decoder?

    The only way to watch a movie rented from the iTunes Store on a TV is by connecting the renting device, Mac or iOS, to the TV, or to get and connect an Apple TV and move the rental there.
    Regards.

    My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

    You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.

  • Watching a movie rented from iTunes store on television using ITV

    I installed my recently purchased Apple TV and had everything working smoothly until renting a movie from iTunes store. The movie would play on my computer monitor, but not on the television. When I tried a window would appear saying, "the movie was not copied to the Apple TV because the Apple TV could not contact the iTunes Store to authorize. Please check your Internet connection or try again later." The Internet connection to the television worked fine as did the Internet connection to the computer. It was only when I tried to watch the movie on television that the problem arose. What could be the problem?

    Same thing here... Direct purchase of musicvideos, tv shows, etc. via Apple TV with no problem (account is valid, connection is there, content is downloaded). Musicvideos and tv shows are synced to my iTunes library and I can play the complete content on my computer. Musicvideos ARE available on ATV (just bought one via iTunes... and directly available and playable on ATV), but purchased tv shows are not available and will not sync (tv show WAS bought via Apple TV... synced to iTunes... but after changing syncing to the latest 5 episodes of tv shows I cannot stream with the online and connected iTunes library to watch my bought shows).

  • How do i get movies i rented from itunes from my pc to my ipad mini?

    I rented 5 movies thru itunes via gift cards on my pc.
    I can see the movies on my pc - I can't get them on my ipad mini.
    I thought the movies would automatically sync and be available to me if I logged in on my ipad.
    Please help - my trip is in 2 days

    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.

    This is old, but I believe that it still applies as well.

  • HT1745 quicktime not authorized to play movies rented from iTunes store

    Rented 3 movies last night from the iTunes store. Download began and ended just fine. When I tried to view one of the movies, quicktime opened with this message:  "QuickTime Player is not authorized to play “Clara's Heart.m4v”. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes"
    So, I tried to open with iTunes, and discovered that I couldn't.
    Any ideas of what to do please? I would appreciate explanations in simpe english as I do not understand computer jargon. Thanks very much.

    Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:

    Does the rental play then?

  • Why did the movie I rented from iTunes freeze and will not download?

    I just rented a movie from the iTunes store and downloaded it.  The download completed and I began watching the movie.  Over an hour and a half into the movie it froze and now says an unknown error occured while downloading (even though no error message displayed before starting the movie) .  Why is this?  How do I get a refund or have the movie download properly?  My connection is great just fyi.

    As I mentioned in the first post.  It shoudl be in the videos app.
    Itunes is only the itunes music and video store.  Nothing is stored there.
    You need to open the videos app.
    Have a look at the manual:
