HT1657 Where is my rented movie stored?

Can't find my rented movie. I have not watched it or even started watching it?

You rented it on your computer? It is under Movies, under your Library
You rented it on your ipad? It is in the videos app.

HT1657 Where did my rented movie go?

I can't find where my rented movie is stored.

If you rented it on your computer's iTunes then does do you have a 'rentals' tab in the Movies part of your library ?

HT1657 Where is my downloaded movie stored?

I downloaded a rented movie and cannot find it. Where would it be stored

Are you using your computer, an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV ? If your computer then it shoudl be in the Movies part of your iTunes library. If you are using an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then it should be in the Videos app (if you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?)

HT1657 Where to see the movie I rent from AppleTV

I rent this movie from Apple TV movies section. I clicked rent and watch now, but it said "I have already rented this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, go to the Settings menu, select Downloads, then Check for Downloads." First, there is no Setting memu under Movies, I went to the main memu Settings, there is no Download memu. So, I checked iTunes Store, Check For Rentals, it's loading forever, no result either. I just want to know where can find the movie I rent??????

Hi SlowZhu,
I had the same problem and found the solution from this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23197787#23197787
if you log out of your apple itunes accound and then log back in again it should work - it should appear in a separate 'Rentals' section of the movies page.

HT1657 I rented the movie with Ipad taking too long to download so want to download to desktop instead and I cant find it on my purchases where is the rented movie

I have an Ipad tried to rent a movie was taking forever to download over an hour and didnt even load a 1/3 of the movie so i stopped it tried to hook up to my itunes and download that way but my account doesnt show the movie says its already been download

You cannot. It is not like a purchase. You cannot redownload at all.

Where are my rented movies downloaded to?

I cannot find where to view my already downloaded rented movies...hmmm

Again this is the iPad forum, not the MacBook Pro or Itunes forum.
In any case, Downloaded movies from the iTunes Store should be inside iTunes in the Movies section of your Library.
The actual file should be stored in the Movies folder inside the iTunes folder. Usually it is located in /Users/username/Music/iTunes/ in OSx unless you changed that location

Where are all the movies stored taking up lots of space?

According to About this Mac, Get info...my movie storage is over 100 gig but can't seem to find it anywhere on my computer? I've got about 20Gig in my Movies and Music folder but can't seem to see anything else anywhere. Where esle can I check?
Where do Mobile Applications get classified in About this Mac Get Info? Cuz I've got 26 Gig in there. And where do all the movies you take in iPhotos get stored? As part of Photos? Or Movies?

Thanks Macjack. So I've got 100 Gig in Dropbox in my user folder...I didn't think drop box would take up space on your computer? I tought I could transfer everything off my computer into dropbox, and delete everything in my computer folders that I transfered to dropbox? I tried to do this but everything disappeared in Drop box and my user folder. Must they be the same and is the information then duplicated?
So what I did was copied everything in my documents and my iPhoto library into dropbox. Then deleted everything in my documents folder (not iPhotos cuz that's still transferring over!) and after a day or two everything was gone from dropbox as well...luckily I had it all backed up and was able to bring it back. So is everything duplicated then? On my computer and drop box?
Sorry if this is all confusing...

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?

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 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:

Where's my rented movie?

I rented a movie yesterday directly on the Apple TV. We watched fine. Today we want to watch it again and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to access it from any menus. I can't see it on the PC's itunes either, the recepit for the hire is there, but not the rented movie. Is it best to download the movie from a computuer rather than the Apple TV? We've only had this gizmo a week and obviously have a lot to learn!

Once rented you have 30 days to START watching the rental.
Once started you have either 24 or 48 hours to complete viewing/repeat viewing after which it disappears.

HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?

Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?

Hi fiercestorm,
It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -

HT1657 Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

The answer appears to be "maybe". Once the rental has completely downloaded it shouldn't need an Internet connection from then on, but I've seen reports here from people who tried the play the rental and has it insist on an Internet connection. I've never been able to spot any common factor between such reports to form an opinion as to why this happens, though it's possible that the movie hadn't really completely downloaded. But I'd advise not presuming that an Internet connection won't be necessary.
Someone else here may have better insight into the issue.
Regards.

HT1657 can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

Yes. although you do occasionally hear about people having problems. If your trip is less than 24 hours, it might be a good idea to start the movie while you're connected to WiFi (which will start the rental clock ticking) and pause it. You're not supposed to have to do this, but some people swear it prevents the occasional glitch. I've only rented a couple of movies and they worked find on the plane.

Can I watch a rented movie on a flight?

Yes.
But be aware, "you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library."
