How to watch rented TV shows from iTunes Store

I just tried renting a TV show from the iTunes store on the ATV 2 for the first time, and I am unable to find the show in order to play it. I clicked on the "Rent" it asked me to login to my iTunes account, and then it asked me to enter the security code from the back of my credit card on file with the iTunes store. I did all that, and then it just went back to the screen where you can preview the show or rent it again. I checked my bank account and it was charged the $.99. I checked to see if there were any purchases available for download on the ATV by click Settings > General > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. I never saw any progress bar or anything else indicating it was downloading. Is there a separate place you can go in the ATV to see movies and shows you have recently rented and are still available to watch? The episode I tried renting now has a blue circle next to it, and if I highlight it and push the play button on the remote, it just plays the 30 second preview. If I hold down the play button it just lets me mark the episode as watched.

No problem, and that's totally understandable. They wouldn't charge again until you've reached expiry (30 days unwatched, 24/48hrs once you've hit play)

  • How can I rent a film in Itunes stores in other countries with my apple ID

    Hello,
    I wanted to ask about how one could rent a film in Itunes store from countries outside of where my mac is installed using my apple ID?

    Even having another residence in another country ( not living there ) won't help, isn't it ?
    No, it won't. The terms of use for the iTunes Store state that you agree not to attempt to use the service from outside of its country.
    And I suppose that there is not a "work around" for this problem ? And if there is, I suppose it can not be mentioned here.
    There is no "workaround". The terms are clear on the matter.
    But having these restrictions in a country obliges the users, like myself being pro-Apple, to think about doing illegal actions ...
    I agree, but it's the content owners who make these decisions, not Apple. The subject has been covered here many times, so I won't get into it yet again, but the issue of rights ownership being fragmented among many different entities in different countries and the problems it presents in the age of digital distribution is a significant one, but no resolution in sight.
    Regards.

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How do you remove TV shows from ITunes,

    I have removed them from my iPad and it says there are no videos but they are still in my iTunes on my iPad and I want to load another show and it is telling me that I do not have the space on my iPad

    lc general wrote:
    Because, like the initial question pointed to,
    Two different topics seem to have been in this thread.
    The initial question (by Spanky0212) simply asked how to delete TV shows from iTunes.
    Then jwutzkechimed in with deleting downloads, not items that are already in iTunes.
    but they will constantly come back when you do a sync/update/check for downloads.
    Sync, update and check for downloads are completely different tasks and in no way related.
    Sync does just that. it syncs the iDevice with iTunes.
    Update will update OS the iDevice.
    Check for downloads has nothign to do with iDevice. It checks iTunes store for items you have not completed downloading.
    I don't know why the DELETE / MOVE FILES TO TRASH option doesn't work in iTunes; but the directions I listed above does.
    Are the items you are trying to delete, located in the iTunes media folder shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced?
    Do you have Keep iTunes media folder organized checked? If not to either of these, iTunes will not delete them.
    Per your instructions above, the item will still be listed in iTunes.

  • How can I get music REMOVED from iTunes Store?!

    I manage a band who has never been signed to a record label however, they had a distribution deal which has since expired and the company went under. Apparently they put a CD up of my band on iTunes Store and items look to have been purchased as the Popularity "meter" is maxed out on some. Where the money is going outside of Apple's cut... who knows. But how can I get my band's music removed from iTunes' Store? I can't find contact numbers anywhere. Thanks for any help!!
    Rachel

    I forgot to mention that the distributors with who we have an expired contract are no where to be found. yikes.

  • TS1566 How to remove an incomplete download from itunes store on iPhone?

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased an HD movie from itune store using my mobile. Being a 16 gb iphone4 with numerous other aps and playlists already cluttering the phone, I  had no room for downloding the 4.8GB  movie file on my phone. Hence I constantly see the movie being attempted be automatically downloaded which throws up an error.
    I have already downloaded the movie on my home computer and do not wish to download the movie on my phone. And most certainly want the incomplete movie download to be deleted.
    How do I do it. Is there any way apple can stop the file from reflecting on my phone?

    first you sync your phone with itunes and remove the broken files from the itunes library.then resync the phone.:)
