Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

HT1657 Rental Movie problem

I downloaded a rental movie to my PC and then attempted to transfer it to my ipod, it disappeared from my PC but never arrived on my ipod. I checked the video app but nothing there.

Hello Thinkingzen,
I would suggest contacting the iTunes Store support directly if you were not able to watch the film.

HT1657 Rental movie disappears from PC after transfer and never shows up on iPad

Article says I can transfer movie rental from my PC to my iPad (1) and that it can only exist ion device at a time. I transferred the movie, it disappeared from my PC (in Rentals catregory), but never showed up on my iPad. What now?

Thanks for replying. I tried your solution also but it didn't help. Apple gave me a 2.99 credit to my account and told me to download it again. Next time I'll download it on the device I want to watch it on, so I won't have to worry about transferring it. Apple needs to make this whole process more user friendly. I am far, far from a novice, but I am a Windows guy, not a MAC guy. Even so, I felt like a novice user having to hunt and peck just to be able to try and transfer the movie. Once I did it, and I probably could not duplicate what I did because it was just luck, the movie disappeared. I was surprised they came back with a credit so quick. Thanks again.

HT1657 rental movie on iTunes not playing

I just rented a movie and it wont play...suggestions? I have all the updates done. I tried restarting my computer and nothing...

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

HT1657 rental movie frozen, what can I do?

I recently rented The Dark Knight Rises and it only shows up 1:15:41 up it and I would like to see the rest of what I paid for

Do you mean in Safari ? If so try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT1657 I downloaded a rental movie utilizing my laptop. When I went to find it via Apple TV, that is associated with my iTunes account, I couldn't see it. This has happened before and it sort of popped up later. No such luck this time. Operator error.

Help Please!!!! When I download rental movies from iTunes, via my MacBook Pro, I cannot see them to watch them on Apple TV or the MBP. Is it me or something glitchy that I have no control over? Thanks for your assistance.

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:

When starting a rental movie, I get the message: "An error occured loading this content, please try again later". Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Firstly, I should have typed speedtest.net previously.
Now that's an interesting comment you make, out of interest do you have any purchased HD movies in your iTunes collection, if so, do they play on the Apple TV with your new tv.

HT1657 I downloaded a rental movie but can't find it on the upgraded itunes. Old page showed "rentals", is there a tab that reads rentals or something different?

I downloaded a rental movie but can't find it on the upgraded itunes page. Old home page showed a tab that read "rentals" on the left side. Anyone know how to find that tab?

I have the same issue. Just rented a movie, and I can't find it anywhere. Where is it stored, and how do I watch it on iTunes 11.0.4 ?
I don't see the 'rented' tab anywhere, and nothing under 'purchased'.

If you select the Movies part of your iTunes library, is there a rental tab shown on it ?

HT1657 How do I delete a rental movie that will not load on my iPad

How do I delete a rental movie that does not load

Have you tried swiping across the progress bar and see of a delete button comes up that way?
Or try Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos. If the movie appears in the setting, try the edit button in the upper right corner.
You can also try resetting the iPad and then see if you can delete the download.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT1657 I purchased 6 ITunes rental movies on my IPad, but I can't get them to play. Please advise ASAP

I purchased rental movies for my vacation. I am on plane now. Went to Video Rentals on IPad. Pressed Play. Will not ply please advise ASAP!

Try searching for the name of one of your rentals on the iPad's spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar and then re-open it and see if they play : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Videos app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT1657 I have an iPad 1 and cannot get my rental movie to download- I just keep getting download error message?
