HT4095 watching a movie rental downloaded to iPhone 4s

I downloaded(rented) Despicable Me last night for my kids on my iphone. In the Itunes app it shows as downloaded but we can't seem to find how to watch it.  Does anyone know what we need to do. When I go into the iTunes app the purchased tab shows no movies purchased, maybe because we rented it.  I don't know.  This is not as easy as some people think it is.  What can I do?

Have you checked within the Videos App?

  • Incomplete movie rental download to iphone

    I started to download a movie rental to my iphone 3gs, it started download I think then lost connection.  How do I get the movie rental downloaded? Help is appreciated.  Thank you!

  • I never watched a movie I downloaded where did it go?

    I never watched a movie I downloaded where did it go?

    Try the videos app.
    If it's a rental, it might have expired and disappeared.  I believe that would happen 30 days after you rented it.
    UPDATE - Sorry, I said videos app above thinking you were asking about an iPad (because your post says iPad).
    But you're asking this in the iTunes for Mac area, so there, check the "Movies" area.

  • Ipad3 movie rental download stuck

    movie rental download completed but will not run and red download still lit, cannot clear it, re rent and it continues to read download error tap to retyr but and says unable to  download,  trying 50 times over a month

    I actually figured it out after all!  All I had to do was go back to the movie, select the rental button, iTunes recognized that I had already rented this movie but that it wasn't downloaded completely. It then made the download button visible and "voila" it restarted the download!

    Try following along with the article and deleting the cached downloads, then try again.

  • Movie (rental) download stopped in error. Cannot download movie.

    I pressed pause on Apple TV (2) remote by mistake twice, thus stopping movie (rental) download. Now unable to find. When trying to download again, message reads "You have already rented this movie, go to Settings and check in Download". There is no "Download" option in settings. Cannot purchase the movie either, same message. No trace of the movie but it has disappeared from my Wish list so system def thinks I have it. Have tried "check rentals' in Settings but the little circle just keeps going round and round and round. Any ideas of how to rent this movie??? Ihave not been charged for the movie so am confused, cannot download it but not charged for it. Any ideas? Thank you!!

    Try logging out and back into your iTunes account, this worked for me as the rental tab (which had been invisible until then) appeared and my movie was there. Check rentals is a dead end.

    To begin, what ADA-compliant options are available to work with a service representative? Good question, and one that I don't know the answer to.  Does anything on this page help? Products & Services Overview | Verizon Wireless
    1) I was charged for service following the cancellation of my service; this includes a period following cancellation during which no service was provided.  Service is normally billed through the end of the billing cycle, whether service is provided or not.  "Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month’s billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then." After working with a representative in person, I was told that my final bill would be adjusted to reflect the legally billable amount. According to their legal docs, the "leagally billable amount" is through the end of the billing cycle. This was three weeks ago and I haven't received a response, and I haven't been able to find a way to pursue a resolution - What can I do to help move this process forward?
    2) It appears I will be unable to pay my bill after this dispute has been reviewed. My phone number is no longer with Verizon. The online bill payment login requires a phone number - I have never been provided with any other account number. Unfortunately, Verizon appears to close access to online bill payment when the phone number is transferred, even to accounts with unpaid invoice amounts. How can I pay my bill online?  You cannot pay online once the account is cancelled.  You will be mailed a paper copy of the final bill, and you can mail a check, or possibly call in and pay over the phone.  But online is no longer an option once the account is cancelled.

  • Problems downloading and watching first movie rental from iTunes

    I wanted to try renting a movie through iTunes tonight and it has been constant problems on my Windows 7 64-but PC home theater PC with iTunes 10.5.  I was going to rent it through Amazon Video on Demand, but they didn't offer the movie in HD on a PC (I would need a Ruku box, Tivo or Blu Ray player to get Amazon Video in HD).  I have used Amazon SD and Netflix HD streaming on the PC with no issues, so it is not normal to have problems streaming video with this PC or the internet connection here.
    The iTunes download was indicating it will take 2 hours and I let it buffer about 30 minutes on my 15Mb connection.  Over 1 gig is cached.
    I can only play the movie a few minutes at a time before the movie playback and download both stop with unknown error -39 and I have to manually resume the download every few minutes and restart the movie or else  iTunes freezes completely and I have to kill it and restart it and I have also rebooted the PC.
    The 24 hour rental countdown has already started since I have already attempted to start watching the movie and it doesn't look like I'm even going to have time to finish watching the movie now.  Every time iTunes crashes and I relaunch it, I now have to re-enter my iTunes password just to get into iTunes.
    This has been a complete nightmare and waste of time and waste of the $4.99 rental fee. 
    Are there any fixes to these issues?

    I waited for the download to complete and now when I play the movie there is no sound!!
    The movie had sound before even though I could only play a few minutes of the movie at a time.
    I have sound everywhere else on the PC including the music in iTunes.  Only the movie playback has no sound.
    I have tried rebooting, reinstalling iTunes and I even installed Quicktime because an old thread about iTunes movie rentals playing with no sound suggested installing Quicktime separately, but it has not helped.
    This is a very poor experience renting movies through iTunes.

  • ITunes Store Movie Rental Download Issues

    Hey there. So I bought a rental movie from the iTunes store. It was downloading but I don't think it finished because my computer hibernated after a while. Since then I have been trying to resume the movie download but it won't resume or finish. It keeps saying (Error -50).
    What can I do?

    you have 30 days to start watching it.
    He probably means that it's too late in the evening to start the video, at least that was our problem.
    The movie was Hi-def, lineout, but they almost always are and we've never had it take so long--it would have been faster for me to drive out to the local video store and pick up a DVD.

  • V e e e r r y   S l o o o o w  Movie Rental Download Speeds

    My setup: In my home office is a cable modem connected to my locally owned and operated ISP's coax feed. It's a city operated fiber network (Ashland Fiber Network), not a ComCast/Charter/Verizon conglomerate. The modem is connected to a Time Capsule (500 MB) via ethernet. Also connected to the Time Caspsule via Ethernet is a 2.4 GHz 24" iMac. The Apple TV is in my living room about 30' away through one wood-frame wall.
    I get consistent >8 Mb/sec download speeds from Speedtest.net both on my office (Ethernet) iMac and on my MacBook via 802.11g while sitting next to the Apple TV in my living room. The Apple TV shows 5 bars on its signal strength meter, and is running the latest (2.02) software. I have the Airport Utility setup to run 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) so that it'll work with both the Apple TV and my 802.11g MacBook. There are no 2.4 GHz wireless phones in my house, and no other WiFi devices connected. There are several other WiFi networks within range in my neighborhood, but I use WPA2 Personal security to isolate my network.
    My problem: I have tried only 1 SD movie download. but it took 37 minutes to reach "Ready to Play," and then choked after playing for 56 minutes. So rather than wait for more of the movie to download, I went to bed and watched the rest of it the next day. I've rented 2 HD movies, the first download notice told me that it would take 13 hours to be ready to play, and the next said 11 hours. Both times I just went to bed and watched the movie the next day.
    Trailers generally take anywhere from 2-5 mins. to begin playing, and they almost always choke after about a minute and have to download more to continue playing. They play much faster on my iMac when downloaded from Apple's Quicktime site, though I can't be sure if different servers are involved there.
    This scenario does not jibe at all with what Apple tells me I should expect from the Apple TV, nor with what I read about here on the Apple Discussion boards.
    Things I've tried: 1) Changing the WiFi channel from Auto to a discrete channel--I've tried four different channels now. 2) Switching to 802.11n only--both at 2.4 GHz and at 5 Ghz. 3) Unplugging and removing the batteries from my 5.8 GHz wireless phones. 4) Moving the Apple TV a 6' HDMI cable's length away from the TV and sound system in my living room. 4) Resetting everything several times, even once back to 2.0 before reinstalling 2.02. 5) I even unplugged the microwave in the kitchen. About the only obvious thing I haven't yet tried is stringing an ethernet cable from my Time Capsule to the Apple TV because I don't have one that long and would rather not strip down my entire setup just to test that. But it looks like I'm going to have to.
    I've had four conversations with Apple tech support, the last one after being bumped up to level 2 support. They had me do (among other things) a 100-ping test using Network Utility between the my iMac and the Apple TV--no dropped packets and the network speed was, according to them, well within spec. When I told them all the other stuff I've tried, they had no suggestion other than: "Something is interfering with your signal."
    I took the Apple TV to my local Apple Authorized Dealer (the nearest Apple Store is 300 miles away). It checked out fine and ran great on their network. I got to try downloading a few trailers there and they ran almost instantaneously. Now, they informed me that their network runs at ~15 Mb/sec, but they also have about 30 computers hooked up to it.
    Anyway, I read here that almost all of you are seeing much faster download speeds on your Apple TVs, even those of you with DSL. And it seems pretty clear that I'm experiencing some sort of interference here, but can't seem to locate the source. So, my question is: What other possible sources of interference might I be getting, and how might I go about locating them?

    How does downloading via your iMac respond?
    I haven't tried downloading a movie from iTunes to see if there's a substantial difference, and you can't rent HD movies from iTunes, only SD. Trailers download faster, but there's no telling if they're coming from the same servers as Apple TV's trailers (nor if iTunes movies are, for that matter).
    I'm quick to blame the time capsule and time machine. Similar to your problems with AppleTV, I've never had time machine work properly. All it does is suck up all my resources while taking days to do anything.
    Unlike some, I've had zero setup or operating problems with my Time Capsule. Works like a charm and doesn't seem to slow anything down on my iMac as far as I can tell.
