HT202213 Can you home share movie rentals?

An Apple representative told me I could download a movie rental to my computer and then watch it later on my apple tv via home sharing.  Is this true?

You are posting in the Apple TV forum, thus I am referring to the Computers icon on Apple TV.
If you are inquiring about home sharing to another computer, post in the appropriate section. Although, I don't think you can do what you are asking.

  • HT202213 can you transfer a movie rental via home sharing from pc to laptop?

    I rented a HD movie to put on my iPod to then watch on my TV through my component cable, however when I tried to transfer th rental onto my iPod I got an error message saying the movie could not be moved, this could be due to my iPod software being outdated by the movie formatting, as my iPod is 3rd generation touch. I want to know if I can transfer my movie rental from my PC to my laptop, so I can watch it on there instead?

    No. You cannot import music to an iDevice using Home Sharing. You sync music the iPad and you can only sync with one iTunes library.

  • HT1390 How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
    As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
    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.

    Yes.
    This allows you to view your videos & music from iTunes on the computer to the iPhone (in the Videos & Music apps).
    On the iPhone, Settings > Music (or Videos) enter your AppleID under Home sharing.
    Open Music or Videos, tap ••• More then Shared.

  • HT202213 can I home share a windows 8  computer with a windows seven computer

    Can I home share a windows 8 computer with a windows seven computer

    Those were correct. The troubleshooter says the network location needs to be set to home but when the connection  is identified as private and cannot be changed. The windows seven computer is not identifying a homegroup name but the windows eight computer is. Both computers say to join now under home sharing but it is never showing up.

  • HT3819 can you home share apps between iphones and ipads?

    just wondering if we're able to share apps in the house hold.  I have iphone 4, ios 5.1.  My husband has iphone 4, ios 4.3, (still hasn't upgraded to 5....lazy.)
    and we have an ipad2.
    I'm just learning about the home sharing thing.....any help is appreciated!

    Sounds like you got the answer you were looking for, but I wanted to add that when you have home sharing up on the computer and the home share account is activated, the home share account listed in iTunes has a little triangle to the right of the account name, and if you click that a submenu appears that lists the apps videos etc. on the other account you then can add those to your other devices/computers the same way you add songs, just drag them into your iTunes library listed at the top of the column. 
    I just wanted to add this to this thread since I found that it clears things up for other people searching for an answer.

  • HT3819 Can you home share with two libraries on the same computer?

    Can home share be used with two libraries on the same computer?

    iTunes must be running for home sharing to work.  There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
    Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

  • HT3819 If my partner & I both have an iTunes account, can we home share both or somehow combine the two accounts?

    If my partner & I both have an iTunes account, can we home share both or somehow combine the two accounts?

    As of right now there is no way to combine Apple accounts.
    As for "sharing", you can go into the iTunes settings for each and turn on Home Sharing, this will make your music libraries available to each other, provided you are both using different computers.
