How to download rented movie to Apple TV

Does anyone have an issue with Apple TV not downloading movies. .. I just rented a movie, " download  to watch later" option.. And now when I try to watch it I'm told to go to settings and select download....Problem is there is no " download" option in settings, or am I missing something. ?

Yes Me Too, I just rented Ireon Man3 and it stopped about 2/3 the way through. Now I get the same messages as above. " You have already rented movie,  Check for downloads. But there is no option to check for downloads,
I  sure I use see available Rented movies on the Home screen. But perhaps I misremember. They are not there now or anywhere.

  • HT1498 How long to download rented movies on apple tv

    How long does it take to download a movie rental on Apple TV.  I purchased a movie the other day and was able to watch it in less than five minutes.  The rental says it will be "Ready to play" in more than an hour.  Is there a difference between renting and purchasing?  Does the age of the movie make a difference?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I'm having this very same issue! Apparently Apple screwed up with the software update.

  • Waiting to download rented movie on apple tv?

    What is wrong? I cannot get it to start downloading the rented movie? I tried shutting down and restarting and when I hit start download, it does not work!

    We started having the same problem on Friday. Had been able to rent movies up to this point. We can access iTunes from all our computers on our network but when we go to rent a movie we just get a spinning gear at least 30 minutes. We seem to be able to access iTunes from AppleTv for everything but buying and renting anything. Not sure what changed have tried everything you have tried and more. All software is current. Anyone have another idea?

  • Transfer rented movies to apple tv?

    How to transfer rented movies to apple tv when downloaded to iMac?

    If you think you might need to watch your movie on anything other then Apple TV, rent it form iTunes on your computer. Once it is on your computer you can move it to an iPod, iPhone, and even Apple TV 2.0.
    Under this system the only thing you can't do is have an HD rented movie on your computer. iPods and iPhones can't play that anyway. Yes, I think media giants sleep safer when HD movies are not on peoples "corruptible" computers and safe and sound on an "appliance".
    The only way to make this any easier would be to allow SD rentals to transfer back to a computer but not HD. I think that would just add another layer of confusion.

  • HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

    how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • 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.

  • When I try to play a rented movie on Apple TV, it starts downloading again

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT1551 How long should it take to download a movie on Apple TV?

    I'm trying to download a movie using Apple TV.  Screem says Ready to play in 10 hours 58 minutes. However, the time changes to various different times such as 15 hours then 9 hour then 20 hours. 
    Am I using up my minutes as it is loading?  Should it take this long to load?

    Hi anobles,
    Download times for purchases & rentals from the iTunes Store will vary depending on the speed of your internet connection. The Apple TV will regularly recalculate your estimated time to download based on the current download speed that it is seeing. You may find the following article useful:

  • HT1577 I am having trouble downloading rented movies.

    Help $$$ going down the drain.
    I am having trouble downloading rented movies. It tells me it is going to take 150 hours to download a 1gig movie. I am using a macbook pro. My internet is hight speed broadband and is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this problem? this has happened twice now.
    Cheers

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!
