I rented a movie on apple tv but want to watch it on my mac

I rented a movie on apple tv one night but it took so long to download I was not able to watch it. I have been travelling ever since and was hoping to watch it on my macbook air before it expired. Any ideas how I can transfer it to my iTunes? They all have the same account. Thanks so much for the help!

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

    You cannot.

    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.

    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

    Suspect it's playing in Dolby Digital 5.1 - go to settings for audio/video and turn Dolby Digital to off.

    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.

    If you rented the movie from your phone you will have to watch it from your phone. It is nontransferable.

  • 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.
