HT1657 How long does the rented movie have to play before the 24 hour limit starts?

I hit play on my rental before I was ready to watch. How far into the movie before the 24 hour limit starts?

As far as I know the clock starts immediately you start playing it. You should be able to see how long you have left - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
On your device, the time remaining for you to finish watching the movie appears near the movie title.
I assume that you are in the US ? In other countries you have 48 hours from when you start watching it, not 24

    how long does a rented movie last?
    when i rent the movie in my pc, can i put it into my ipad and then back to my pc?

    Yu can copy it to your iPad from your computer, but if you rent it directly on the iPad then you can't copy it off - from here :
    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.
    From when you rent a movie you have 30 days in which to watch it, but once you start watching it you have 48 hours to finish watching it (24 hours in the US) - you can watch it as many times as like within those 48 (or 24) hours.

  • How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
    Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
    If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

    How long does it take to get iOS 8 on the iphone 5s?
    It has been 45 minutes and it is still on the white screen with the apple logo.  It has flashed blue and then black twice.  It is connected to my computer

    Servers are swamped. Download times are varying but not less than 12 hours to finish. Quit the download if you can and wait until tomorrow or the next day.

    How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
    Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

  • Can you have anything play before the DVD Menu using Premiere Elements 9?

    Hi,
    I'm new to this and creating a DVD with photos and video from my sister's wedding.  Does anyone know if you can have anything play before the DVD Menu appears?
    Thanks,
    Angie

    Many of us use DVD Architect Studio as a supplement to Premiere Elements, because it's such a powerful DVD authoring app and it only costs $39 when yo download from Sony Creative Software.
    I've written a book on DVD Architect Studio 4.5 -- and my new book for DVD Architect Studio 5 will be available on Amazon.com at the end of this month.
    And, yes, it absolutely shows you how to add a video clip before your menus!

  • 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.

  • How long does it take for phone to work on the day of new billing cycle

    i was wondering because it just became the 12th where im at in california and i went over last month on my billing cycle how long does it take for the phone to work at the start of the new day?

    You would most likely need to talk to your carrier to get the answer to that. The carriers that I have used would charge for overages rather than dropping service for the remainder of the billing period but if your plan is different than that you would either need to talk to the carrier or provide more information on the carrier an the plan so someone here who has the same plan may help.

  • HT4009 How long does it take for apple to return with the needed code for in app purchases.  We have a developer working through elance that states he submitted a finalized version last friday to apple and is still waiting to get the code back from Apple?

    We are being told by our elance developer that he is just waiting on apple to return the code for in app purchases with our app.  he says he had to submit a complete version before they would give it to him and that he did that last friday.  Needless to say i don;t beleive him.  Can anyone validate for me the process of getting the code installed into our app and how long it should really take.

    I'd say an average of one week, depending on backlog. Expect two if you are outside the US.
    The outage has caused some lingering effects that seem to be delaying things for some, however.
    Patience is key in all things when it comes to being a developer

  • 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

  • HT1498 I have rented several movies from iTunes on my iPad, just bought apple tv, can I watch the rented movies from my iPad on the tv ?

    I have an iPad and have rent several movies from iTunes, I have just bought apple tv, why can't I watch my rented movies on the tv, my home share is activated ? Have I just wasted £99 ?

    Hi,
    Yes, start the movie on your iPad and tap on the AirPlay icon and chose AppleTV from the list.
    You can't "transfert" your rental to your AppleTV but you can stream it using AirPlay.

  • HT4859 how long does it take to backup your phone for the first time using icloud?

    I have never used Icloud before and now my phone wants to be resotred so I am trying to back everything up using Icloud it just dosent seem to be moving and it just continues to say estimated time ...

    Hello there jspin11,
    The amount of time that the iCloud backup will take depends on a few factors the 2 most important are the amount of data to be backed up, and the internet connection speed.
    I found a great resource for troubleshooting iCloud backups named iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3992.
    General information
    iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
    Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
    You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
    iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
    Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
    Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
    SettingsiCloud Backup settings are controlled on a per-device basis from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    To view Storage & Backup settings:
    Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    Tap your device's name. From here you can:
    View the size of your backups and see the storage used by each app.
    Enable or disable Backup for each app.
    Delete Backups.
    Buy more storage.
    If you're out of iCloud Storage space, you can apply several solutions:
    Exclude Camera Roll and other large data from iCloud backups of your device by going to iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and choosing your device.
    Remove some of the larger files on your device, such as large audio or video files, from your Camera Roll in order make more space.
    Remove existing Backups.
    Purchase more storage.
    For more information about managing and using the Storage & Backup settings, see this article.
    If an issue persists and you are not able to resolve it using the methods discussed in this article, contact iCloud Support for additional assistance.
    All the best,
    Sterling
