HT1657 I downloaded a rented movie through my iMac and now I want to watch it on my apple tv, why isn't it working?

Help

Hello FeedUpUser,
Thank you for the question.  When you purchase a rental, you can view it on one device at a time:
Can I play my rental on more than one 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.

If you are using a first generation Apple TV, you can transfer your movie to the Apple TV using the steps in the section titled "Transfer a rental from your iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV" in the following articles:

If you have a second or third generation Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to play the rental through your Apple TV.  You can find the steps in the following article:

If you have not been able to view your rental, I recommend reporting the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT1657 Once I download a rented movie, do I need WiFi access in order to watch it?

    Once I download a rented movie, do I need WiFi access in order to watch it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • When trying to download a rented movie it says ErrorDomain3 and can't download but it downloaded a movie I bought rather than rented. I have an iPhone 6.

    Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?
    Settings / Facebook / Install on iOS 6.1.3 Will need to sign in your valid FB account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's not possible, rentals made on the Apple TV are non-transferable.

  • I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

    What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
    From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
    Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
    Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
    PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
    An active Internet connection
    You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
    On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
    On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

  • HT1657 Cannot download a rented movie

    Rented a movie on my iPad; could not download on iPad due to not enough storage.  Purchased 20GB of extra storage., which doesn't show up and I cannot download the movie.  Tried to download on to my computer - doesn't show up in my purchases.  I would have to purchase it again.  So basically, It would end up costing me $50 bucks to watch a 90 minute movie.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Phin,
    Purchasing more iCloud storage is not going to help you if your device storage is low. They are not related.
    Open iTunes and sign on
    Click on Movies in the sidebar
    Click on Unwatched in the Movies window
    You should see your rental, and will be able to watch it from there
    Cheers,

  • HT1657 Re-download a rented movie

    My MacBook Air died recently, I had rented Skyfall before that happened.
    I have a new MacBook Air, and I have 18 days left before Skyfall expires, how can I download it again?
    When I log into the iTunes Store and click on Purchase History, I can see that I rented it but it doesn't give me an option to re-download it.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Rentals are currently a one-time only download, you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download. Either try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that rental and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Or try contacting them via this page : 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

  • I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2

    My Problem:
    I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
    and get the following message   "an error occurred loading this content. Try again later"
    Do others have the same problem of not being able to play rented HD?
    All my other activities are normal. I can play Standard Def rentals, Movie Previews, HD MLB, and all else as necessary except HD rentals
    I have a 13.5 Mbps connection.
    I have gone through ALL of the expected procedures. Changed the cable, did a reset, did a restore.
    This has happened with two TV2's as I replaced the first one due to the "unable to update issues"
    The current TV2 now has the current up to date software since that issue has been resolved for all.
    Any answers???
    Location Melbourne Australia.

    This is a new TV2. Actually my second. First bought less than 2 weeks ago. it was returned to the store and replaced because of the issue of not being able to update the TV2 software from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2.
    Both machines had that same problem, and both could not play the rented HD movies.
    The second TV2 has sicne been able to update to 4.2.2 when everyone else who had that problem went away this last weekend. So I have gone from 4.1.1 on two machines and no HD rentals to the current one updated to 4.2.2 and still no HD rentals.
    The Standard def comes in fine and no real delay. And IF the movie previews are HD (when it is turned on in settings) then I have had NO problems viewing them.
    I also have NO problem viewing HD MLB games on the TV2

    To get any add-on or plug-in off Firefox:
    1. Type Ctrl+Shift+A
    2. NoScript will either be under 'Extensions' or 'Plugins'
    3. Once you have found it, click the 'Disable' or 'Remove' button (whichever you want to use).
    4. And you never have to put up with NoScript again!
