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.

    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 how to find previously rented movies in itunes

    How do I find previously rented movies in Itunes if I can't remember the specific name.
    Mwilliamswi

    Settings - iTunes - check for rental
    Once you press play you have 24/48hrs (depending on region) to view. Accessing other content or turning the device off will flush the movie, and it will need to reload

  • Finding a rented movie from Apple TV

    I recently rented a movie direct from my Apple TV but I am unable to find it. I seem to recall that when you used to go into the movie tab there were essentially a folder for both "Purchased" and "Recently Rented" that showed how much longer remained on any rented movie. I now only appear to have a "Purchased" folder. When I click on the movie again it shows a prompt saying I have already rented this movie. I went to the General / I Tunes / Search for rented but had no success as the disc that appears when searching just seems to continue spinning endlessly and not find anything. Thanks in advance guys, appreciate your help. Duncan

    Hi Duncan,
    To find a movie you rented from your Apple TV, look in the top shelf of the main menu. See this article for reference -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

  • Where can i find my rented movies on apple tv?

    Hi, i just tried renting a movie on my new 3rd gen apple tv, and right after i entered my ccv number it told me that i have 48 hours to watch. i went to watch it right after and i found no movie to watch! could anyone tell me where i can find my movie?

    Hey nocsinwhitesatin,
    When you rent a movie from iTunes on your computer, then you can play it on your computer or sync it to your iPhone or iPad. For your Apple TV, you will need to find it by using Home Sharing and not looking for it in the Movies section. If you go to the Computers section on the Home Screen and follow the onscreen instructions to set it up, then you should be able to find the rental and watch it on your Apple TV. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • 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

  • 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

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

    I downloaded a new version of iTunes, then rented a movie to watch on my laptop. Now I cant find the rented movie or how to play it. Please Help.

    It should be in the Movies part of your library - if you select Movies, then is there a Rentals tab on it with that film in it ?

    trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address.

    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.

  • 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,
