If I rent a movie and then choose to buy it, can I buy it at a discounted price?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately not.

  • 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.

  • HT1498 The 'Cast and Crew' credits when renting and buying movies

    The 'Cast and Crew' credits when renting and buying movies only shows the Director, Actors and Producers... Surely there should be a fuller credit list? At least the heads of each department?

    If the films aren't including all the credits then that is because the studios aren't including them in the film's file that they pass to Apple. You can try leaving feedback for Apple, but ultimately it's the studios that will have to provide the info in their films : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Greyed out rent and buy buttons on itunes  - using iPad2

    Dear All,
    Seeking the collective wisdom.
    I am unable to rent or buy videos from itunes on my iPad2. The "buy it" and rent it" buttons are greyed out.
    The only feasible explantion so far would have been if there were restrictions on but I have checked and the restrictions are turned off
    It may not be related but I purchased a series of TV shows from iTunes on my iPad and although they are showing as purchased and downloaded, they do not appear in my video app library
    I have synced the iPad with my PC and can watch the TV series on iTunes there but not on my iPad.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks in advance for your consideration
    Robin

    Your parental controls are likely restricting you:  Settings>General>Restrictions, then toggle to "ALL" on shows/movies etc

  • Renting and buying movies

    If I rent a movie, then decide to buy it, do I get a discount on the buy price?

    Just curious, are you 100% certain? If so, this is such a let down!

  • I buy a movie through iTunes. i want to watch it on my tv using apple tv. why does it take so long to download?

    I BUY MOVIES THROUGH ITUNES AND WANT TO WATCH THEM ON MY TV IN THE LIVING ROOM USING MY APPLE TV. IT TAKE S ALONG TIME FOR THEM TO DOWNLOAD. EVEN PREVIEWS TAKE A LONG TIME. WE HAVE AN INTERNET SPEED OF 10MBS. WHAT IS WRONG?

    Depending on the type of connection you have, most likely you're sharing that connection with your neighbors and if everybody is using it all at the same time you are probably having some reduced bandwidth.  Second, depending on the quality of the movie you're downloading (SD, 720p 1080i/p) it could be several gigabytes of data and that may take a long time.  Ten megabits per second isn't really that fast anymore when we are moving such large amounts of data.

  • TS1702 Twice now rented and downloaded movie to view on flights. When I tried to view on the plane i got a message that it could not be loaded. But when I got to destination, it was okay. Any ideas.

    Twice now rented and downloaded movies from iTunes Store to view on flight. Both times it told me that it could not load. Yet worked okay once I was at destination. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    This is in the iPad's Videos app ? If you turn Settings > Airplane Mode 'on' are you able to watch them in the Videos app now ?

  • HT201667 I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    I  rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device.  I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked.  I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

  • I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

    I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

    Hi Refvoxa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to play or download a movie rental on your iPad, first restart your device:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    After your iPad restarts, try resuming the download again:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the movie still does not appear in Downloads, and can't be played, I recommend reporting the issue with your purchase:

    I rented a movie through itunes and now I cannot find it on the ipad.  How do I access it?

    Mmmm, try checking for available downloads from the store menu, if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • If you rent a movie through iTunes can you watch the movie on your iPad if you are not connected to internet or 3g

    If you rent a movie through iTunes, can you watch the movie on your iPad if you not in an area that does not have wifi or 3G access?  Such as on an airplane, etc...

    Yes - as long as the movie has totally and fully downloaded onto the iPad.

  • HT1498 Is it typical for a rented movie through iTunes to take hours to download?

    I rented a movie through iTunes which was paid for without trouble. Now, whenever I go to start the movie, it says it needs at least 4 hours to load. I'm just trying to make sure that this is typical for Apple TV and nothing to do with any problems with the Apple TV.

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • When I play a movie through iTunes, audio has no issues but video stutters and skips

    Hey everyone,
    I have a Dell 17R, Windows 8 64 bit, intel i7-3630QM at 2.4 GHZ, 8gb ram, Nvidia GT-650M at 1920x1080 using driver 320.49
    When I play a movie in iTunes, the audio works flawlessly but the video will be smooth for a few seconds, stutter and then skip small 2-3 second spots. I haven't noticed that the parts skipped are any more graphically intense than other spots and there is no discernable pattern.
    In the past, I have been able to play movies through iTunes with absolutely no problem but when I downloaded this most recent one a few days ago all of my movies have been experiencing the same issue.
    When I stream other videos from other sources I do not experience the same problems as I do when I use iTunes. Streaming 1080P over youtube or a similar services is no issue.
    I have updated my video drivers to the latest version as well.
    I am at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
