How do I View a Rented Movie?

I rented a movie. It seemed to have downloaded, but I can't find it to play it. Or maybe my question should be, once you rent a movie, how do you view it? It isn't in the movie purchased file, so I am lost. Or the movie is. iMovie does not follow Apple's long history of user friendliness.

iMovie has nothing to do with rented (or purchased) movies from iTunes.
In iTunes, select Movies then click the Rental tab.
Click the movie to watch it.

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

    How do I find my rented move on my new Apple TV?

    This thread is from over a year ago. Also, that only applies if you rented via your computer. Hence the 'computers' icon. It is accessing your computers iTunes library via home sharing, not the cloud. Rentals made on other devices can only be viewed on that device.
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • HT1657 I rented movies on my iPad, they all downloaded, but when I click 'play' it says 'The requested URL was not found on this server'. What does it mean and how can I restore my rented movies?

    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.

    Did you look for the movie in the Videos App? Movies do not play in iTunes on the iPad - they play in the Videos App.

  • How di I watch a rented movie on my ipad2?

    How do I watch a rented movie on my ipad2?

    Beware. I downloaded a rented movie then took the ipad to a destination where I knew I would not have internet access.  Attempting to play the movie  the first time was notified an internet connection was required.  Very frustrating.  Also confirmed on this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2439219?start=0&tstart=0.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you rent a movie on the Apple TV, then it can only be watched on the Apple TV. If you want to watch movies on multiple devices, you need to download it to your computer, where you can then transfer it to other devices or stream it to your Apple TV as well as watch it from your Mac.

    is this a rental from the Apple TV or one you have in iTunes. If from the Apple TV try restarting the Apple TV, if from iTunes, try de/re-authorising your account.

    Have you looked in your video app.

  • HT1657 Do I need wifi to view the rented movie?

    Do I need wifi to view the rented movie?

    I called the apple store and they said you need WIFI to download it, but after it is finished downloading you do not need wifi.  I downloaded it successfully and it shows up in my "Videos" app on the IPAD.  Once you hit play you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you want then it is done.  If it is rented.
