HT1657 how do i rent vs. buy a movie?

How do I rent a movie on iTunes? All I see are purchase options. I want to view on new Apple TV

Welcome to the Apple community.
Not all movies have the option to rent them (or for that matter to purchase them). You will need to find a movie that has the option to rent.

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

Whats the difference between renting and buying the movie in itunes?

what's the difference if you buy the movie or just rent it from the itunes store?

Buy: you can watch it as many times as you like; and it stays on your iPad.
Rent: you can watch it for 24/48 hours only; and it will disappear from your iPad

HT1657 How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads in itunes store?

How can I turn off the scrolling movie ads across the top of the screen when I open the itunes store and am in the movies section?

Thanks varjak paw.
I was afraid this was the case. To the degree that Apple marches down this well-travelled road towards making money by trying to pound customers into submission with flashing ads, etc. that actually serve only to aggravate and drive away at least people like me (28 year user of macs) from both Apple and whatever is being advertised, and indeed get in the way of my being able to efficiently do what is my part of what I always thought was the core of the synergism between Apple and its customers -- them innovating to provide the best tools to help us to be creative and productive, then the company will find itself sharing that space with myriad other companies so bankrupt for ideas and innovation that they have no other possible strategy that to promote mindless consumerism. That does not seem a place of strength for Apple and a complete forfeiting of its unique position. Sad to watch.

Can't rent or buy movies from iTunes

Rant On:
I am completely frustrated and angry about how iTunes is supposed to rent or allow purchase of movies. I have not had one movie rental out of several tries that went successfully without having to contact Customer Service and complain. I purchased "Looper" & watched it on my iTV over the holidays, and now it cannot be played on either my Mac Mini or loaded to my iPhone 5.
The movie appears in my iTunes Movie library on my Mac Mini. When I tried dragging it to my iPhone, I got a strange error message that the movie was still "in the cloud" and wasn't available until I download it. I can't see any way to accomplish this. Once I tried moving it the first time to my iPhone, it now won't let me move it again at all.
If I go to the movie on iTunes from my iPhone, I see a "Download" button but the movie won't download since it's > 50 MB. When I go to iTunes from my Mac Mini, it only offers me the choices to rent or buy the movie again.
Just incredibly frustrating. I definitely DO NO RECOMMEND anyone trying to rent or buy movies from iTunes!!!

Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided, and none have been given here. What did you do to try to buy or rent something? What happened when you tried? Did you get an error? If so what was it. Just posting "did not work" is not going to get you very far.

HT1657 can i watch rented itune movies on ipad while flying?

Basically heading to Hawaii, woulld prefer not to carry bulky lap top and utilize the benefits of an iPad. Is it possible to rent, not buy HD movies from iTunes and have them avaialble to watch while flying overseas? thanks.

There are films available to rent in the iTune store, but it's the film studio's choice as to whether a particular film is available as a rental, and if it is whether it's in HD and/or SD.
As lomg as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced) to the iPad's Videos app then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

HT1657 How do I transfer rented movies from iPad to Apple TV

Although my Apple TV sees all my iTunes so previously purchased and I am able to download movies and other product from ITunes, the Apple TV is requesting. Three or four digit security code ending in 1359
I do not have any such code
Please help
What do I need to do to seamlessly rent or buy movies on Apple TV????
Regards,
Fernando Calero

The method is exactly the same as in previous versions of iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
The only difference now is that by default the iPad will appear as a button at the upper-right of iTunes:
Click that all all should then work as per the directions. You can also go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and iTunes 11 will then look substantially like earlier versions.
Regards.

HT1657 If I decide to buy a movie that I rented, can the price of the rental be discounted from the sale price?

If I decide to buy a movie that I rented, can the price of the rental be discounted from the sale price?

No, you will still need to pay the full price, whether you've previously rented it isn't taken into account.

Sort by rent vs. buy

Is there a way within iTunes to sort the movies and TV shows depending on whether you can rent vs. buy them? Many of the movies that I'd like to view are buy only and I can only find out after I pull up the movie detail.

Click on this link and it should open iTunes and give you a search screen in it (I don't know if/how you can access the screen directly within iTunes) : itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch
On that search screen you can select Films/Movies on the left-hand side of the screen (instead of 'All Results'), and then on the next screen tick the 'search films that acre available for rental' tick box and then click 'search'

HT1657 Can you rent more than one movie at the same time?

Can you rent more than one movie at the same time on itunes?

I think Justin is correct and you should have statistics in place and a reasonable partition scheme so that the optimizer selects the correct partitions rather than telling it what to do. You paid a lot for partitioning after all.
There are some, possibly misguided, examples in the manuals showing how to create a view so you can delete from a single partition without specifying the partition criteria in the delete statement. This in effect turns partitioning back into DIY partitioning i.e. separate tables, union all and pretend its a single logical table using a view. But backwards.
So to do what you want you just assume the partitions are separate tables, and then use union all to glue the ones you want back together.
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2000)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2001)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2003)
union all
select * from sales partition (sales_q1_2004);It probably goes without saying that as well as making the expensive version of partitioning behave like the free alternative, there is the possibility that it will perform like it as well.

How do I rent a movie using money in my iTunes account. I had to enter at the iTunes gift card code to open the account, but now I can't figure out how to use this money to rent a movie; I opened the account several months ago but never used the money.

How do I rent a move using moneyin my iTunes account. I had to enter the iTunes gift ard code to open the account several months ago, but never purchased anything with it. When I entered this code to rent a movie, the response was that it was redeemed. What am I doing wrong?

If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.
To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?

How do I rent a movie on my Macbook Pro that I have already rented on my Apple TV?

Hi,
I rented a movie from the Itunes Store using Apple TV, and it's there on the TV - I have 60 days to watch it, ot 24 hours from the time I start to watch it - no problem there. But I have decided I want to watch it on my Mcbook Pro instead, at my cottage where I don't have access to the Apple TV. When I click on it on my Macbook using the Itunes store, it asks me if I want to rent or buy it - so it looks like I have to pay for it over again. Is there a way to d/l this already paid for movie for free on the other device? Or can I somehow transfer it from the Apple TV to the Macbook before watching it?
Thanks,
Richard

If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
