When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
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.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

  • New iphone says "sync complete" but doesn't download any music?

    I have had iTunes and used it without incident with my iPod. Just bought an iphone today but when I went to sync with iTunes for the first time it prompted me to updated to latest version which I did. For some reason it seems to sync to my iphone, says "sync complete", but doesn't download anything from my library. Iphone still says "no content". First day home with iphone. Not real happy about it.
    Help please?

    Make sure you have checked "Sync Music in the music pane when connected to iTunes.
    Look at pages 13-15 in the User Guide available here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

  • I cant download an app i bought on my ipad to my iphone 4

    I bought a app theough my ipad 1, snyced to my macbook pro but can't sync it to my iphone 4.  Help

    Easier to download the app on directly on your iPhone rather than syncing. You won't be charged again. You must use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • How do I keep iTunes from copying apps I bought on my iPad onto my iphone?

    I just got an iPad and I've had an iPhone for quite awhile. I put a bunch of apps on the iPad but they were all ones I already had on the phone. Then I added some new games for my son and next time I synced my iphone, iTunes put the new games on there too even though I didn't select to add them.
    Is this a setting I missed? Is iTunes trying to sync my phone with the iPad?

    With your device attached to the PC go to iTunes (on the PC).
    Select your device from the sidebar.
    Click on Apps (at the top).
    Scroll to the bottom of your listed apps and just underneath, you need to uncheck "Automatically install new apps"

    Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?

    You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :

    Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.

    When I try to download a movie it says it will be ready for viewing in 10 hours. I am connected to wireless internet. What is the problem?

    How fast is your internet connection and do you know what wireless standard your router is? Because download time will depend on several factors. The 1st one being the speed of your connection,2) the size of the file being downloaded,& 3) how fast your router send and receieve the data.

  • Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

    I just downloaded a movie on iTunes on my iPad but it isn't showing up on my Apple TV? Help! I already have the home sharing on as well.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The movie isn't supposed to show up on the Apple TV, if you want to play content on your iPad via the Apple TV, you will need to use AirPlay.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

    Why not?  What, if any, errors are occurring when trying to access the itunes store?
    Is iTunes actually installed?
