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:

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.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

"Unable to check for downloads" message -- how do I see the movie I rented?

I just rented "The King of Kong" through my AppleTV and it tells me to go to Settings-Downloads-Check for Downloads to view it, but when I do I always get "Unable to check for downloads"! So how exactly do I see the movie I just rented? And of course there is no one live at customer support at this hour. This is not the seamless experience I've always heard people are supposed to have with Apple products!

Same problem on 3rd rental--"Over Her Dead Body." Amazing how many times this title appears on this thread. Coincidence or server issue? I haven't tried renting since this problem. Title appears in iTunes account; checking "purchases" under "Store" shows all purchases downloaded. Still get "Cannot check for downloads" message on ATV for two days now. 2d request into Apple Support now; will see what they say.

Not all content types are available in all countries - in each country Apple can only sell what they are licensed to (and in some cases what a country's laws allows them to). A list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599
Do you have access to other music and film purchase download sites ?

Why did the movie I rented from iTunes freeze and will not download?

I just rented a movie from the iTunes store and downloaded it. The download completed and I began watching the movie. Over an hour and a half into the movie it froze and now says an unknown error occured while downloading (even though no error message displayed before starting the movie) . Why is this? How do I get a refund or have the movie download properly? My connection is great just fyi.

As I mentioned in the first post. It shoudl be in the videos app.
Itunes is only the itunes music and video store. Nothing is stored there.
You need to open the videos app.
Have a look at the manual:

HT1657 Will I need wifi to watch the movie I rent from iTunes?

If I rent a movie from iTunes will I need wifi to watch it?

As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

HT5772 I would like to delete the movies I rented from iTunes. I have deleted them. But I can't seem to delete them from e trash, its say that the movie or mp4 is still in use. My Mac HD is almost full. How do i resolve this problem. Thanks

The title say its all.

You've tried closing iTunes and rebooting your Mac and seeing if you can delete them after your Mac has restarted ?

Where are all the movies?

Where are all the movies to rent? The lineup is horrendous. I keep hoping that one day there will be a ton of content. So far it’s severely limited. I thought a bunch of movie studios signed up for this.

I'm with you I am a Si Fi junkie and the SiFi channel is not even on their list of stations, but the main flux is there are a whole bunch of really great shows that I would love to see. I figure Apple is charging a premium for TV and Movie content, why than is the Apple offerings so small, I would think it would be to there interest to offer a huge library as its maturing you would think they would be more fulfilling in supply. I love they way I can watch shows and don't have to fast forward through them, But am missing a whole lot of shows that could be offered. Must be a big process for them to put there restrictions of use making it harder and a longer process to add content, Come on Apple give Apple TV more resources, before the competition matures and people are renting from other sources.I really enjoy the Apple TV quality and ease of use, but there will be a time when PC comes out with an easer and as good of quality UI with a larger library. So where is all the content?

Where can i see the movies that i rented on my ipad

Where can I see the movies that i rented recently and it keep saying go to download but there is no download name there not like before ?

Have yo looked in the Videos App?

HT1657 Where can I find the movie I rented?

Where can I find the movie I rented?I already rented but I cant watch it

If you rented and downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies part of your library - is there a Rentals tab in Movies ?
If on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then it should be in the Videos app. If you can't find it in there, nor via the device's spotlight search screen, then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

HT204370 where can I find the movies I rented and downloaded last night

i downloaded 2 movies to watch on flight, downloaded to computer. Now have iPad with me. I don't see the movies in library/anywhere in iTunes/cloud so tried to re-download, received message that I had already rented. where can I find the movies?

If you rented and downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then did you then connect the iPad to your computer and move them over to it ? If you did then they should be in the Videos app.
Rentals are a one-time only download so they won't appear in the cloud for re-downloading.
