I have just rented a movie on i tunes. How do i watch it? where is it?

You've rented a film from Amazon, not the iTunes store ?
If it is from iTunes then it should be in the Movies part of your library - if you have iTunes 11 installed then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, and on that sidebar there should be a Movies section (if Movies doesn't show then go into iTunes > Preferences, command-comma, and make sure that Movies is ticked on the General tab).
If you've rented it from Amazon then you may want to try the Amazon help pages (I'm in the UK so we don't have it) e.g. Amazon instant video help or watching online.

  • I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere in iTunes for me to watch.

    I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere for me to view. Usually in the iTunes menu there is an option call 'rentals' where rented movies sit until they expire, this is no longer visible. The movie files are listed in the finder under music/movies.... With the rest of my iTunes data, but they will not play in iTunes from there and I can't add them to my library for watching.
    The only thing I am currently doing differently is that I have just subscribed to iTunes Match; would this affect my rentals?

    Hi Cmcb,
    Under your Library list, you should see "Movies". Click on that, and you will see a screen with several tabs at the top - Rentals, Unwatched, Movies, Genres, Home Videos, etc.
    As Hackintosh indicated above, click on the Rentals tab, and your movies will be displayed there. Doulbe click on one to start playing it.
    If you do not have your sidebar showing, go up to View at the top, and click on Show Sidebar. Then you will see your Library lists on the sidebar, which will include Movies.
    Cheers,

  • I just rented a movie from I tunes and it is not showing up on my I Pad

    I just rented a movie on I tunes and it is not showing up on my I Pad?

    Did you use iTunes on your computer, or iTunes on your iPad?  If you rented it on your computer, you need to transfer it from there to your iPad.  Plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes, and select the Movies tab.  A Rented Movies section should appear.

    You don't.
    Read the FAQ's that you linked.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie on apple tv, how do I watch it on my iPad within the 30 days?

    I rented a movie on apple tv, how do I watch it on my iPad within the 30 days?

    If you rented it on your Apple TV, then 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.

    Only rentals made on a computer can be transferred to other devices. You will need to watch your rental on the Apple TV.

  • I rented a movie on apple tv, how do I watch it

    I rented a movie using apple tv, (I know that it went through because when I click on Rent again it says you have already rented this movie )
    How do I play it ??

    Once you rent it it will tell you when its 'ready to watch' and you can then hit play. You can also access it by going to the movies tab, and the poster image for the rented title will appear in the top left. You can also go to settings - general - itunes store - check for rentals.
    Note: a 6mbps connection is required for instant HD rentals. If you are much lower it may take some time before you can watch. Accessing other content during this time or turning off the device will flush the rental, requiring a reload.

  • Just rented a movie in I-tunes on my windows laptop. How do i view it on my I pad Air?

    I have a Windows based laptop with Itunes installed.  I recently rented a movie in itunes and I have no idea how to watch it on my new Ipad air?

    Directions are here:

    The second section tells you how to move the movie to the iPad.
    Note, rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, so once moved from your computer to the iPad it will disappear form the computer.

  • HT1657 If I rent a movie on Apple TV, how do I watch it?

    I rented a movie and after confirming my credit card, it went right back to the rental page.  It doesn't show under purchased.  Where is it and how do I watch it?

  • I have just rented a movie on my laptop but I can't watch it on ATV. can I only rent through ATV to watch it there?

    can I watch movies rented on my laptop through itunes on my apple tv? they are not showing up.  I can watch it on the laptop so I know it has loaded properly.

    Yes you can view it on Apple TV. If has fully loaded, as you say, then it should show up under the Computers icon (assuming home sharing is enabled on both devices, they are on the same network, and computer is on/running iTunes)
