HT4095 Rented a movie on my iPad and it doesn't open. Why.?

Rented a movie it downloaded fine, but I get an error message that it can't open the movie. Any idea why?

In order to download the movie, you want to just connect the ipad to the internet, preferably wifi if you have it available. Check your settings by going to settings > wifi.

It should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :

I rented a movie on my ipad and it just shows up as a gray box in my movies section. When I click on the greyed out box, it gives me the option to play the movie but when I press play, it just reverts back to the gray box. How do I find the move or have it complete the download?

I just rented a movie on my ipad, and now want to watch it on my Apple Tv

I just rented a movie on my iPad (which does not have sufficient space to download the movie) with hopes of being able to watch it on my Apple Tv when I got home. However, when i got home, the Apple TV is says that i need to re-rent it. If i 'purchased' (rented) the movie on my iPad, shouldn't it be in my iCloud, so that I can watch it on any device?

A movie purchased on an iPad can only be viewed on an iPad. You would need to rent via computer and use home sharing or directly on Apple TV if you wish to view on your HDTV.
You haven't purchased the movie, it's a rental and thus won't be available in the cloud.
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.

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

I rented a movie on my computer and transferred it to my ipad mini and can't find it on the mini even though it shows that it is there when I look on the computer. It is not in my video app on the mini. Where can I find it to watch?

I rented a movie on my computer and transferred it to my iPad mini. I see it was purchased on my computer in my account and the charges for it and can even see where it is on my iPad on the computer but can't find it on the iPad itself. It is not in Videos. I have this problem every time I rent movies and somehow I eventually find it but I don't know how it eventually gets on the iPad. I'm leaving on a trip and want to watch it on the way.

You move the movie from iTunes to iPad (tap to enlarge image)
Movie will be moved to the Videos app.

I rented a movie on an iPad mini while connected to wifi. Now I'm in the car with out Internet and when I try to play the movie is says "could not load movie" what can I do? I purchased it from iTunes and let it load fully before leaving.

Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?

Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
Using current version IPad mini.
Ios7 is HUGH PIECE OF CRAP!!!!

HT1848 I rented four movies on my mac and then transfered them to my iPad, i then did an update to my iPad, now the rentals are not on my ipad nor my mac. I did not watch them and I was charged for them. How do find them and transfer back on my iPad

If you moved them to your iPad then they will have been removed from your Mac. If they are no longer in the iPad's Videos app following the update then you will need to try contacting iTunes support and see if they will let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Rented a movie on my iPad have not watched it and it's disappeared?

Rented a movie on my iPad - have not watched it nd it's disappeared?

After you have rented and downloaded a movie to your iPad you have 30 days to watch it. But after you begin watching it you have 24 hours and then it expires and disappears. You say that you did not watch it, but if you started the movie even for just a few seconds after the movie downloaded, you started the 24 hour clock.

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

I rented a movie on my MAC and wanted to see how I can watch it on my iPad?

I rented a movie on my MAC and wanted to see how I can watch it on my iPad? It currently doesn't show up on the videos app.

Howdy Twetz8,
To view the movie you rented with your Mac on your iPad you would sync it from the Mac to the iPad.
About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you rented the movie on your computer, but want to watch it on an iOS device, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as often as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.
To watch an HD movie, you need to play it on a supported device: your computer, iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or TV using Apple TV.
Enjoy,

Can i get my rented movies off my ipad and put them on my PC, as i do not have posession of my ipad and i wont for awhile, also can i change the password remotely for my ipad to avoid intrusions?

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

I just rent a movies from my imac. I tried to move the movie to my ipad and when i tried to watch the movie I couldnt. It was all black. What should I do?

I just rented a movie from my imac and moved to my ipad. When i tried to watch the movie i couldn't. Help.... what should I do?

Is it just the one film that is showing a black screen, or does the Videos app appear to be frozen ? If it's the complete app then try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, 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 completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a 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.
