How do we watch an HD movie on our macbook?

This is the message we get when we try to watch a movie that we rented from itunes:
This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).  Try moving the iTunes window to a different display.

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

    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.  

  • How do i watch a rented movie

    how do i watch a rented movie on itunes? where do i go?

    If you rented it on your iPad then you can only watch it on that iPad - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    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.
    As to why it's like that, I don't know, I haven't seen anything that says why

  • How do I watch Oscar nominated movie rentals on my HDTV?

    How do I connect my MacBookPro to my HDTV to watch an iTunes Movie rental?
    Instead of sending DVDs of Oscar nominated Films to DUES paying Voting members,you have to download the films to iiTunes!
    Also! One film shows as a Rental and 3 are in with my music????

    3D movies are meant to be watched on a 3D device. I would purchase or download a 2D version of the movie, any "work arounds" will waste your time and cause you headache. Best of luck!

  • How do you watch an iMovie with this 11inch macbook air?!!?

    I have a research project for class and I made a short documentary on imovie... Now I know I can view it on my mac but how can i make dvds? or let alone present it to my class (i.e. dvd) my school does not use macs, so asking IT was useless. Basically my question is, how do you watch a movie created on imovie to a windows based computer??????..... it says the file is .m4v, i am not too sure if that helps. I know there are various cables out there, but college has enough hold on my money, something free would be awesome! I really would like to make a dvd, but i will settle for whatever now...

    You can play it using quicktime on a Windows computer - just be sure its installed and you're good to go.
