How do I transfer a rented movie on iTunes from my iMac to my MacBook Pro?

I got on my iMac today and rented a few movies thinking that iTunes would send them out to all my devices automatically. I have all the check boxes checked on all devices to download automatically. There are instructions for transfering from computer to a device but not how to do it from one computer to another.

Hi Claire,
Rentals can be downloaded from a computer to a device, but not to another computer. Here is the Apple Support article on Movie Rentals FYI:

I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

I just rented a movie from my iPad2 and tried to play it through my ATV2 with AirPlay and same problem.... This is absurd guys. Apple I know there are copyright hoops to jump through but come on!! The whole pitch behind AirPlay and AppleTV was to make it easy to watch my purchases on my TV no matter what device they were on. Now I've got to hold my iPad in front of my face to watch a movie for nearly 3 hours!! And when I go to the support site I have no option other than to send an email to billing, screw this. I've not bought a DVD since I purchased my ATV2 over a year ago but if you guys are gonna pull this crap then what incentive do I have to continue the use of something that may or may not work the way it was advertised.
By the way, this is the first time I've had this problem because I normally rent straight off the ATV or my computer, which by the way I was considering replacing my PC with an iPad but looks like you guys aren't ready for me to make that kind of a switch.
Don't tell us that a product will do XY and Z then put limits on Y sending to Z.
FIX THIS!!!

How do i transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account?

How do I transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account? I sync my iPad with my user account and she sync's her iPad with her user account, but she wants the movie I downloaded onto her iPad. (We use the same apple ID).

Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music." - e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.
Hold on. I don't know if the above will work with a rented movie. There's all kinds of restrictions on what you can do with rented movies.

HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro?
Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there. I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc... Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs. I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud. So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!). How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs?

I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

How do I import photos from my iMac to my MacBook Pro ?

Hello !
I would like to import an album created in iPhoto from my iMac to my MacBook Pro.
I would like the photos to appear exactly on my book as they are organized in my album on my iMac.
Any suggestion/idea/advice would be more than Welcome !
THANK You !

Actually, I found that this album was still in the trash (Recent) and was able to restore it !!!
Ah so the question really isn't about moving albums but how to restore something you deleted by mistake from one of your libraries.
If you had actually asked that question then you probably would have gotten better and more to the point responses. In addition the need for backups would have been mentioned at some point.
You got lucky this time. Being 'more careful next time' is really not a good backup stratergy
You should take two things away from this, one ask the question that actually deals with your problem and two start a good backup program right now! Next time the trash might be empty.

I m trying to transfer my data from my imac to my macbook pro using transfer manager i m connected to wiifi it says that the process will take above 55 hours ? I have only 38gb to tranfere ? Why so long isnt normal

Hi
I m trying to make a transfer to all my data from my imac to my macbook pro with wireless ... And using my transfer manager as requested but it show 55 hours time to download ? Whats wrong ?

So there are several factors that may point to why your transfer is going to take so long. First and foremost it is going to be the type/speed of wireless you're using. Your router and computers should all be using the same type of wifi (ie 802.11G or 802.11N). That will ensure the best "theoretical" transfer speeds across your network. Depending on what type of router you have and what type of wireless cards your computers have that will determine the max theoretical transfer speeds you could achieve. For instance the fastest available wifi is currently 802.11N at approximately 300MB/S maximum transfer speed. Realistically you'll probably see about 10% of that.
Secondly the speed of the computers and their hard drives will also play a large factor in the transfer time. If your computer has a slower processor or uses a lot of virtual ram (which uses the hard disc drive) you will experience slower transfer speeds.
As seventy one said you will experience MUCH faster transfer speeds over ethernet. You will especially noticie faster speeds over gigabit ethernet. Gigabit speeds require both computers to have a gigabit ethernet port and a router with a gigabit ethernet switch.
With all of that being said depending on other variables the connection may speed up and slowdown depending on current network traffic and your transfer time may increase/decrease accordingly. I would suspect it won't take 55 hours.

How can I transfer a rented movie from one Ipad to another Ipad?

I rented a movie on Itunes from a PC, and transferred it to an Ipad. I now would like to transfer it to another Ipad. Does anyone know how to do this? B

Hi Technician7,
It is true that you can "return" app licenses to Apple Configurator and redistribute that license to another iPad. The key is that both iPads must be "Supervised" in order to return the app license. See this from Apple:
Removing apps from devices
If you use Apple Configurator to remove a redeemed VPP app from a supervised device, Apple Configurator marks the corresponding redemption code as available. It can be reassigned to a different device supervised by this copy of Apple Configurator for this Mac only. It is not available for redemption by other Macs or iOS devices.
If you unsupervise a supervised device, all apps will be removed from the device and the redemption codes used to install those apps will be marked available for reassignment. If you simply remove a device record from Apple Configurator, the redemption codes for any apps on that device will not be available for reassignment.
I hope this answers your question!

How do I view my rented movie on itunes

Downloaded and synced films and tv shows should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :

Transfer a rented movie in iTunes to my AppleTV

I have a rented movie in iTunes. When Apple TV is highlighted under Devices and I click on Movies at the top, I get a place when I can move the movie to the right into the To Apple TV box. When I click on "Apply" in the lower right corner, however, I get an error message that I am not authorized on Apple TV.
How do I become authorized on

I use a program called FotoMagico to create .m4v files of the photos I take on trips and scans of 35 mm slides that I have taken over the years. After the files have been encoded they are downloaded to iTunes and synced to my Apple TV.
I also post the trip pictures on the Internet using the Host Excellence server. If you are interested, this is the trip Home Page:

The simple answer is just connect the external hard drive and drag the files from there to wherever you want them to go. If you need to do something more specific, you'll have to provide more details.

How can I transfer my imovie project from the imac to the macbook pro

So that way I can continue to make/edit the movie on the go. I have a 27" imac and a macbook pro that I am working with.
Thanks

The best way would be to move it using an external hard drive. Then you have to move the hard drive between the two computers. In fact you could all the Events folders and the Project on that same hard drive too. And everything would be self contained. You would use iMovie to copy the Projects and Events onto the external hard drive (don't drag anything outside of iMovie, moving the files manually is NOT good). Then as a last step run the Consolidate Project command on that copy of the project on the External HD. That would get everything you needed into one spot.
But be aware, your iTunes and iPhoto libraries are going to still be on your iMac. So you may not have access to EVERYthing you need to put into the final project.

If I use Migration Assistant to transfer files a second time from my iMac to my Macbook Pro, will I end up with doubles of files on my Macbook?

I used Migration Assistant from my Time Machine for my iMac to my Macbook Pro (I'm pretty sure) when setting up my new laptop to transfer files I wanted from my desktop; now I have new files on my iMac that I'd like to transfer, and I'm wondering if Migration Assistant will send files that I already transferred to my Macbook again, thus creating doubles of files on my Macbook

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Migration Assistant creates a new account to transfer files from another Mac, so you will end with doubles of files on the MacBook.
To avoid this, you can go with the easier way: get an external drive, copy all the files you have on your iMac to the external drive, connect it to the MacBook and copy the files on the external drive to the folder you want to.
Another way is to transfer them through your network. If you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on both Macs and they are connected to the same network, use AirDrop to transfer your files. Simply open a Finder window on the iMac and choose AirDrop in the sidebar. Then, drag the files you want to transfer to your MacBook Pro's icon.
Finally, if you have FireWire in both Macs, you can use Target Disk mode on your iMac (hold the T key while your iMac is starting), so your MacBook Pro will detect your iMac's hard drive as an external drive and you will be able to transfer whatever you need
