i rented a movie and now it will not let me clcik on my tab for rent on itune to get to it to watch it it has finished downloading and it took my $ for the download i tryed reseting my computer as well and i still can not get to my move

OK, so when you are in iTunes, you should see Movies on the sidebar, right under Music. Once you click on that, you should see "Rented, Unwatched, Movies, Genres, Home Videos, and List" at the top of the window. Click on the Rented tab, and you should see your movie. Click on the movie, and it should then display a Summary window below it with the description of the movie:
Right next to the title in the Summary box, you will see an arrow. If you click on that, you should get a message asking if you want to start playing your movie now:
Click on Play and enjoy!
Cheers,

  • Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

    Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

  • Why after I rented a movie and finish watching it and wanna watch it again with in the 24 hours, have to pay another rent fee to watch it?

    Why after I rented a movie and finish watching it and wanna watch it again with in the 24 hours, have to pay another rent fee to watch it? When I already paid the the fee to rent it for 24 hours?

    Start the video and slide all the way to the beginning. If the video isn't in your Movie app, then the rental expired.

  • TS3623 I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at top when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix?

    I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.

    I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
    "Video Track: H.264
    Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
    All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

  • Where is the download button on the ipad.  I rented a movie and cannot watch it till it downloads

    Can someone please let me know how I can download a rented movie to my ipad again.  It appears it failed to download to my ipad, when I attempt to watch it states to download it again.  That feature is not on my ipad.  The download area only shows up when an item is downloading.

    Hello there, cls1234.
    If you rented your movie on your computer you can check on your computer for available downloads. This Knowledge Base article provides how to check that:

    If you downloaded it on your iPad itself, try these steps to see if you can still play the file:

    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.

  • HT1657 Can i rent a movie and then watch it without a wi-fi connection???

    i want to know if i can rent a movie from the itunes store and watch it on an airplane???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

    I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.

  • HT1498 I rented a movie and it does not show up on my apple tv but is in my video app on my phone.   How can I watch it on my tv

    I rented a movie and it does not show up on my apple tv but is in my video app on my phone.   How can I watch it on my tv?

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

  • 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.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it.

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

  • HT2729 If i purchase or rent a movie and downloaded it into my iPad, do i need a wifi to watch it?

    If i purchase or rent a movie and downloaded it into my iPad, do i need a wifi to watch it?

    You definitely do not need WiFi to watch a purchased movie once it has been downloaded to your iPad. I have several movies that I purchased for watching on flights and every one of them worked fine without WiFi.
    You should also be able to rent a movie and watch it without WiFi as long as the movie has fully downloaded properly. I have read about users having mixed results with this and that is why I said that you should be able to do it.

    I had the same problem after the last update. Go to settings-iTunes store, sign out and then sign back in and you should see the rentals

  • When you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
    Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:

    I rented a movie and transferred to my ipad but now i want to watch on my apple tv.  Can I transfer it back or how can I watch it through my tv?

    Hello leannerich,
    The easiest option for you may be to use AirPlay to stream the movie from your iPad to the AppleTV. The article below will walk you through the process of setting that up.
