How to download a rented movie on apple tv

I rented a movie through apple tv but then paused during download.  How do I complete the download?

There is no downloaded content as the device has no accessible storage. It will cache the stream as you watch, but then will be flushed when other content is accessed, device turned off etc.
When you say you paused during download, what do you mean? Have you tried going to settings - iTunes - check for rental

  • Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on apple tv? When I download a movie on Netflix it downloads immediately.

    Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on Apple TV?  When I download a movie from Netfix it is immediate.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

  • How to find a rented movie on Apple TV

    Hi there
    This is my first post - don't want to seem completely stupid but where do the rented movies appear on the menu.  I have 2nd gen ATV and rented a film yesterday but it doesn't show up anywhere.  It tells me I have already rented it when I try & do it again but I can't find it? I've checked for available rentals etc.. Any ideas anyone, please?
    Thanks in advance.

    After you rent a movie the poster image will appear on the top left (make sure you are on the movies tab). If you rented the movie and then accessed other content (i.e. netflix, youtube etc) then that could cause the film to be dumped and a reload required. You have 30 days (24 or 48 hours after you start watching depending on your location) so you shouldn't be charged again.

    Rented movies downloaded to an iOS device cannot be transferred to any other computer or iOS device. Are you sure that a rented movie, downloaded to an iPad, can be airstreamed to an Apple TV?

    how long does a rented movie last?
    when i rent the movie in my pc, can i put it into my ipad and then back to my pc?

    Yu can copy it to your iPad from your computer, but if you rent it directly on the iPad then you can't copy it off - from here :
    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.
    From when you rent a movie you have 30 days in which to watch it, but once you start watching it you have 48 hours to finish watching it (24 hours in the US) - you can watch it as many times as like within those 48 (or 24) hours.

  • HT1430 How do I delete a movie or can I move it so I can download a RENTED movie?  I appreciate all of everyone's help

    How do delete a movie download or move it somewhere so I can download a RENTED movie?

    Thank you for the reply roaming gnome.
    Unfortunately, I already have "hidden" these purchases in the past. Despite "hiding" them, they still attempt to download to my computer automatically.
    Please note, I DID NOT PURCHASE this movie. A friend purchased it for me as a gift through iTunes.
    Again, thank you for the link to the Apple Support page, but that does not resolve my issue.
    Please see the attached screenshot for what I see when I go to Purchases > Movies. Nothing shows up - presumably because I already "hid" them in the past.
    Selecting "Not in My Library" under "Movies" has the same display. The movie I want to delete does not show up under "Music" "TV Shows" "Apps" or "Books," as well.

    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.

  • How can I watch an Apple rented movie via Apple TV?

    Continue to have a freezing problem with rented movies from Apple. It *****.

    What I ended up doing was to back all the out of the choice sequence and the start the movie from the beginning again. We were able to watch one hour of the movie and then it froze again. After repeated efforts to get it to continue, we gave up and went to bed.
    For the recoded, the Internet connection was fine. Netflix worked flawlessly. Only the Apple movie connection was dead.
    How do I get my rental money back? I won't be able to finish watching within the required 24 hour period after having started it last night...
    I thought this problem would go away after having the FIOS service installed. A 10+ Mgb speed stream should feed a movie in jig time. It's certainly helped with download times on software and Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo streaming. Not Apple, which seems not to know how to buffer.
    Frustrated,

    I got the same error and can't get it to work.  My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes.  I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

    There is no accessible storage on Apple TV, so it will need to load each time. If you wish to store then rent on computer and use home sharing to view on Apple TV.
