HT204370 Rented movie on an iPad - Where to find it once downloaded?
I just rented a movie from the Apple Store via my iPad. Movie said it was downloading. But I can't find it in my iTunes account nor on my iPad. Where does the movie get stored and how do I access it?
It should have downloaded into the iPad's Videos app.

If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Rented 2 movies last night but can't find them as downloaded to sync to my iPad. When I click on the movie again, it says "previosly rented." where can I find the link to download them?
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -
can i get my rented movies off my ipad and onto my PC without my ipad in my possession? also can i change my password to access my ipad remotely to stop the intrusions?
Where did the movies come from?
For what you said you should be easily be able to do what you want except for:
"remove them from the ipad but still have access to them for viewing on the road or at hotel"
Home sharing only works wehn the devices are connected to the same network
Understanding Home Sharing
If they are iTunes purchases, you should be able to redownload most iTunes purchases on the road if you have an internet connection by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Can I watch rented movies on my ipad on an airplane?
About to take a very long flight and want to watch some rented movies on my ipad - I just read somewhere online that I can't do this without a wifi connection on the airplane - is this true? How can I do this? Thank you.
Thanks for your responses - maybe I didn't put the question exactly right. I know that I need to be connected to download, but I've heard that you need an internet connection to watch the downloaded films so that Apple can start the clock on the rental. I've read a lot of stuff online that suggests that to watch rentals on an airplane you've got to start the film on the ground where you've got a connection and start the clock. This seems like a crazy work around for what must be a pretty popular activity for an ipad.
I've looked at the Apple FAQ and haven't found any clear answers to this question. Can anyone clarify this one? Thanks again. -
I rented movies on my iPad, they all downloaded, but when I click 'play' it says 'The requested URL was not found on this server'. What does it mean and how can I restore my rented movies?

HT1657 How can I delete a rented movie from my ipad before its expiration date?
How can I delete a watched rented movie from my Ipad before its expiration date?
Hello, K M Cartwright.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You definitely can delete the movie prior to the expiration date. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it. Here are the steps on how to delete iTunes media.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

How do I watch a rented movie on my iPad 2?
Did you look for the movie in the Videos App? Movies do not play in iTunes on the iPad - they play in the Videos App.

i cannot find a movie i rented...i only see a "music" "movie" "tv show" categories. where is rental that i downloaded?
Hi gnoble,
When you go under the Movie option in your Library, you will see separate tabs for "Rented", "Unwatched", "Movies", 'Genres", "Home Videos", and "List".
Click on the "Rented" one to see the Rentals that you have waiting to be watched.
Cheers,

Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?
If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content. -

I have a rented movie on my iPad... Can I transfer it back to my Library so I can put it on a different device? I have not watched it yet and want it on my other iPad.
Not if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
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.
Why it's like that I don't know -
HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?
Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. As far as I know Apple haven't given a reason, but you can try leaving feedback for them via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Why won't my rented movie synch from ipad to computer?
When I download a rented movie onto my ipad it no longer syncs to my dell laptop and so doesn't get onto my iphone. This used to work but now it doesn't. Also, my ipad seems to think it has way more video on it than it really does -- is this a related problem? The color bar at the bottom of the screen that shows how much space is taken up with video shows way too much video if I try to sync even one tv show. Help!
Films that you rent and download directly on the iPad cannot then be transferred to a different device - if you want to be able to copy rentals to other devices then you need to rent and download it via your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415
