How to overcome error of rented movies downloaded to iTunes, not being copied to the iPad?

I have downloaded two rented movies from the iTunes Store to iTunes 10, plugged in my iPad and continuly receive an error msg that "The Movie(s)" was not copied to the iPad because it (they) cannot be played on this iPad. I've found this exact error on-line and Apple suggests that iTunes version 10 corrects this issue ... "Obviously it doesn't!!!" I have researched this issue for three days now and every indication is that there should not be any problems, that all my software, downloads, iPad updates are up-to-date. Any suggestions would be greatful.

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

How to do I have my rented movie played from iTunes? I paid for it and the last time I checked, it was still downloading

I rented a movie called "Holes" from iTunes. I paid for it with my iTunes gift card. It took a long time to download the movie, so I went and took a nap. I woke up and tried to play the film and it will not show. It doesn't even show I purchased it nor does it show it's available to rent. The balance on my gift card shows the movie was paid for. Where is my movie? How do I play a rented movie I purchased for on iTunes?

All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you are on a very slow connection and it's going to take longer than 24 hours (48 hours if you aren't in the US) to download a rental then don't start playing it until it's completed downloading - the 24 or 48 hour countdown starts as soon as you click play.

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.

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.
