HT3819 How do I watch a rented movie on my TV?  I downloaded the movie to my iPad, but I can't get it on my tv.

I rented a movie from iTunes.  It downloaded to my iPad, but I can't get it on my TV.  What do I need to do to watch it on my tv with Apple TV?

Hello, be sure you have your Apple TV selected as the designated viewing source. There a couple ways to do this.   While watching the video click on the square with the triangle in it, select the name of your Apple TV. Or, double click any time, scroll to the left twice to reveal the same symbol, and select your Apple TV.

    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.

  • HT1657 Ok this will sound super stupid but I have got two hired movies on my iPad but I can't get them to play! Help

    I need help.  I hired two movies which are sitting on my iPad but I can't get them to play!    Yes it sounds stupid but how do I get it to start.  There are no button/icons anywhere

    Vague.
    You opened the videos app?
    You selected the movie?
    What happened?

  • HT204291 how do I watch a rented movie from my iPad 3 on the apple tv

    plz answer

    You can't.  When you rent a movie, it can be played only on the device where you obtained it.  If you want the flexibility to change your mind, the original download must go to your computer's iTunes.

  • HT1657 I purchased 6 ITunes rental movies on my IPad, but I can't get them to play. Please advise ASAP

    I purchased rental movies for my vacation. I am on plane now. Went to Video Rentals on IPad. Pressed Play. Will not ply please advise ASAP!

    Try searching for the name of one of your rentals on the iPad's spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar and then re-open it and see if they play : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Videos app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    How do I watch a rented movie on my ipad2?

    Beware. I downloaded a rented movie then took the ipad to a destination where I knew I would not have internet access.  Attempting to play the movie  the first time was notified an internet connection was required.  Very frustrating.  Also confirmed on this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2439219?start=0&tstart=0.  

  • How do i watch a rented movie

    how do i watch a rented movie on itunes? where do i go?

    If you rented it on your iPad then you can only watch it on that iPad - 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.
    As to why it's like that, I don't know, I haven't seen anything that says why

  • I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage.  The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.

    I have been transfeing my DVD footage to I movie using handbreak and the spinning wheel of death has arrived and locked up I movie as I tried to import footage.  The message says, "Optimizing movies, processing event DVD" but I can't get out of it.

    Yes I held them down till the apple logo appears, then spinning wheel and repeated boot up process. I only knew it was going round in circles because the charging sound kept repeating every so many seconds.
    I am downloading iOS.5.0.1 now to do a complete factory restore. I hope this works. I have been looking online for hours for fixes and I have very little batter on it as its been spinning for hours now.
    Why do things like this happen? I am sat there watching tv and one minute the settings folder is there then its not! How does that happen? It just disappear? I hadn't moved it to another folder or deleted it, it just.... went!

  • HT1657 Watching a rented movie on my iPad.

    Must I have a wifi or data connection to watch a rented movie? I am wanting to rent a few movies to watch while flying and I am new to this service.

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

  • How do I watch a rented movie on Apple TV

    I rented a movie. Began to watch and had to stop. 15 minutes later, I went back to watch but cannot find rented movie.

    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.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    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.
