If i can only have it on one location than what's the point of the Icloud? I thought the cloud enabled you to watch it from any device at any time?
The point of iCloud, is that you can download previously purchased content again for free and use iCloud as a backup for your app data and device settings.
iTunes movie rentals are not previous purchases. You didn't buy the movie, you rented it.
I am by no means defending Apple so please don't think that I am. I believe that Apple could be a little more forthcoming about a lot of the stuff that you have to drill down and find on your own. Even if you do see the section at the bottom of the iTunes Movies tab that talks about Renting and Buying Movies, the information is a little bit misleading and hardly covers much more than the most basic information. Nowhere in iTunes does it state the information that would be pertinent to your situation.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I just rented a movie from my iPad2 and tried to play it through my ATV2 with AirPlay and same problem.... This is absurd guys. Apple I know there are copyright hoops to jump through but come on!! The whole pitch behind AirPlay and AppleTV was to make it easy to watch my purchases on my TV no matter what device they were on. Now I've got to hold my iPad in front of my face to watch a movie for nearly 3 hours!! And when I go to the support site I have no option other than to send an email to billing, screw this. I've not bought a DVD since I purchased my ATV2 over a year ago but if you guys are gonna pull this crap then what incentive do I have to continue the use of something that may or may not work the way it was advertised.
    By the way, this is the first time I've had this problem because I normally rent straight off the ATV or my computer, which by the way I was considering replacing my PC with an iPad but looks like you guys aren't ready for me to make that kind of a switch.
    Don't tell us that a product will do XY and Z then put limits on Y sending to Z.
    FIX THIS!!!

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie on my iPad but it won't download because I don't have enough memory.  Searching thru the FAQ it looks like I am unable to transfer this to my Apple TV.  Is this correct & if so then maybe there should be a warning when purchas

    I have rented a movie on the iPad but I don't have enough memory for it to download  - so I wanted to make it available on my Apple TV - looking at the FAQ it doesn't look like I am allowed to do this! Why not - I've purchased/rented this movie I should be able to watch on any device??!   Can I get a refund for something I can't watch??

    As it says on the page that you posted from :
    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 think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
    If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I rented a movie on my iphone but don't have enough storage to download, now I can't access it on my Mac.  help?

    I rented a movie on my iphone but don't have enough storage space to download it.  Whenever I push the "download" button on my computer's itunes, nothing happens.  How can I get it to my computer or another device?

    Delete something from the ipad so that you have room.

  • ITunes states I can only rent movies from my Canadian account.  I am in the US and want to rent a movies on my AppleTV.

    I am unable to rent a movie on my AppleTV.  I get a statement that I can only rent from the Canadian account, yet I am in the US.
    Options?

    your Apple ID is bound to the country it is registered.
    Your option would be either create an additional Apple ID that is for USA, or change the country of the current one
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If you decide to change the current ID - you will be prompted to update your billing information, therefore you have to have an address in USA and since you would like to purchase/rent - you may need a credit card that is issued in USA.

  • How to rent a movie on one appletv and watch it on 2nd appletv.

    I have 2 appletv's that sync from my imac. I like to purchase movies on each appletv, but I don't know how to see what I purchase on one appletv from the other appletv. Can the appletv's see each other or do I have to purchase the move twice?

    You can sync both ATVs to the same library, or select the library from the Computers list in the ATV as a shared library and stream it. If you purchased the movie directly on one of the ATVs, you can sync or stream it to the other one once it has synced back to your library. You can't sync or stream directly from one ATV to the other.

  • I rent a movie on my tablet but I cant watch it on my apple tv

    I rent a movie on my tablet but I cant watch it on my apple tv

    Winston,
    I don't believe your statement is correct. If you rent and download a movie to your computer and then plan to watch it on Apple TV, it doesn't work. When buying a movie, it is available on Apple TV but due to licensing reasons, this isn't the case for rentals. 
    Apple has cooperated by issuing a credit when I got snaked by this rule.

  • I rented a movie and it downloaded but the movie skips and i can hear the words but the picture does not? and now the movie is gone from the library and i only rented it an hour ago? what do i do?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    Hi cheryle36779349,
    The free trial that we offer is for Acrobat (we don't offer trials of the online services). So, the first thing you need to do is download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. When you launch it the first time after installing it, you should be prompted to accept the end-user license agreement.
    Then, so convert PDF files to Word, choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Have 2 Apple TVs. I rented a movie on 1 box but I want to finish watching it in another room on a different Apple TV. When I try it Apple TV wants me to rent it again. Is there a fix for this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Content rented anywhere else other than on a computer can only be watched on the device it is rented from. If you want to watch a rental on multiple devices, rent it from the computer.
