Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's not possible, rentals made on the Apple TV are non-transferable.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you rent a movie on the Apple TV, then it can only be watched on the Apple TV. If you want to watch movies on multiple devices, you need to download it to your computer, where you can then transfer it to other devices or stream it to your Apple TV as well as watch it from your Mac.

  • I rented a movie using Apple TV and now can't continue watching on a MacBook

    I know it's in the policy, but what the reason for putting such limitations?
    It works vice-versa perfectly well.

    Any problems contecting to the AppleStore on ATV?  Does other content from ATV download?
    Nothing stands out.  Are you able to start to play it on your computer?

  • HT1657 hi ! just rented a movie through an apple tv and it stopped, i cant get it back and when go to check rentals its like in process and nothing is hapening still in process, why is that? can u fix it?

    hi ! just rented a movie through an apple tv and it stopped, i cant get it back and when go to check rentals its like in process and nothing is hapening still in process, why is that? can u fix it?

    Mr. Churchill - First, to answer your last questions:
    Yes, the movie is fully downloaded, all 3.69 GBs.
    No the Apple TV has 127.5 GBs of its 144.63 GBs free.
    Second, I tried turning the Time Capsule WiFi rounter and Apple TV off (for at least two or three minutes, not the usual 10 seconds recommended) and I still could not move the movie.
    Third, I severed the link and set it up again re-synced all 5,103 items back and still when I move the movies to the Apple TV box and Apply it, after 35 seconds it stops the sync and moves it back the the Rented Movies box.
    Though I have set my Apple TV to sync with my MacBook Pro I cannot find a way to connect it to other than shared library, but not the "not shared library" (Is this what the Rented Movies are?). Is what Fletch is talking about int the "Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV" discussion my problem and a solution?

    there are three possibilities: you have not upgraded to version 2.0 or in Summary on the ATV device in iTunes, you should look whether you have it set up to only sync or otherwise disables movie syncing, or you have not paired your Mac to the ATV (on your tv, settings/computers/connect to itunes library - not shared library)

    Or is it something else?

    You can't if your rented it on your Apple TV - 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.

  • I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

    I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
    If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance.  Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

    I rent a movie. I watch 1 hour of it. I go to watch something els efor 5 moinutes. I can not get back to my rental.
    I go to check for rentals under settings it loads for ever. Argh! How do I access my rentals during the 24 I have to watch!!! So annonying.

  • HT1498 I RENTED A MOVIE ON MY APPLE TV. YET I CAN NOT WATCH IT. WHEN I TRY TO RENT IT AGAIN IT SAYS TO GO TO DOWNLOADS IN SETTINGS. CAN NOT FIND DOWNLOAD IN SEATTINGS. THE MOVIE HAS BEEN CHARGED TO MY ACOUNT. PLEASE HELP. TKS

    rented a movie on ap`ple tv. can not watch it because it did not download. when trying to rent it again it says that I have already rented. tells me to go to downloads in settings. there is no "downloads" in settings. need help. tks

    Just called AppleCare. They walked me through the fix.
    Go and sign out of your account under the Settings > iTunes Store menu.
    Go back out to Setting, then under the General menu, scroll to the bottom and select Restart.
    When the machine restarts, go back to the iTunes store menu and sign back in.
    In a moment, your available rentals should again show up in the top menu bar.
    This is an upgrade to 6.0 problem.
    Hope this helps.

    This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.
