Moving rental film from iMac to MacBook

Like many, apparently, I was perplexed that a rental film I downloaded on my iMac iTunes didn't appear automatically on my MacBook Air.
After much investigation, I found I could transfer the film, by cable, from iMac to iPhone:
plug in iPhone > open iTunes on iMac > select iPhone in sidebar > select movies menu > rental film should appear at top > move button
and then rinse and repeat from iPhone to MacBook Air.
My question: is there an easier way of doing this?
All macs and devices are recent models, authorised, on one Apple account and on wifi. I have no Apple TV.

Who else is perplexed?
No time to list all the similar threads on this forum and others, since all I want to know is how best to move rentals from one computer to another. Maybe try searching this forum for similar queries?
You can only have iTunes rentals on one device at a time.
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.
I understand that, but thanks for reiterating it, it may clarify the policy for others. All I want to know is what is the best way of moving rentals from one computer to another.
The FAQ you linked to gives the rules for moving rentals, but does not tell you how to do it. There is another Apple helpsheet somewhere, which I have read and used, which shows you how to do it by plugging in the cable and using "move" in iTunes. But I came to this forum wondering if there might be a faster, simpler way of doing it. Maybe wirelessly or direct from computer to computer. Since the helpsheet only addresses how to move from computer to phone and vice versa, not from computer to computer. The term used is in their rules is "devices", which in this context does seem to include desk computers and laptops.
I know I can do it via an iPhone by plugging the iPhone first into one computer and then the second. This seems likely a very 20th century way of doing things. It may be the only way, and indeed is starting to look like that from the lack of responses. But if there is another better way I'd like to know. Simple as that.
Not an attack on Apple, from whom I have purchased thousands of dollars of products per year since the 1980s, and with whom as a company I am generally very happy. Not an attack on the forum. Not even an attack on the unwieldy transfer mechanism which may well be a product of stringent licence agreements with content providers. And certainly not an attack on Apple's rules for rental transfers. Just a simple request for information about a very specific technical issue, how to move rentals from one computer to another, which will undoubtedly be of interest to many others searching the forum.
I know that I can purchase a rental directly from iTunes on to any device. That seems obvious and is not helpful once you have a rental on one computer and want to move it to another computer.

It's not clear what you're asking. What mobile device are you talking about. iPhone back ups are ordinarily in one of two places: iCloud or a computer. The are not stored on the phone. If you're currently backing up your phone to iCloud and you want to back it up to your computer, you can do that using iTunes. You don't move a back up from iCloud to your computer.

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
Any suggestions very welcome!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

HT4539 how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc

how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc or to nas drive because my apple tv storage is full

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you try restarting the router.
Are you trying to watch them from the internet or a library on a computer.

HT4515 I want to buy an unlocked 4s from apple and use it permanently on a foreign CDMA cell service (IUSA Cell in Mexico). I am getting conflicting information. Thoughts?

I want to buy an unlocked 4s from apple and use it permanently on a foreign CDMA cell service (IUSA Cell in Mexico). I am getting conflicting information on whether this is possible. Apple website says the phones are unlocked for GSM use only.
I called apple when i bought an Ipad to help decide on a GSM vs CDMA version and was told that if I went to Mexico with a CDMA version of the Ipad (2) that i would call the carrier give them some numbers and they would activate it. When i returned I was to call Verizon and reactivate it in the US. I ultimately got the GSM version so i never tested the theory.
I am now thinking of getting the 4S to use in Mexico permanently but want to use it on a CDMA carrier because it is half the cost per month. But will this work? Thoughts?

There is no such thing as an unlocked CDMA iPhone. All CDMA iPhones are carrier locked and the carriers do not allow unlocking. All legitimatly unlocked iPhones are GSM only The CDMA side is completely disabled in them.
You can only use a CDMA iPhone if the carrier you want to use offers one.

Just to make certain, you inserted the original installation disk and started the MBP holding down the C key? Did the Optical drive reject the disk or did it just spin? If the former, the lens in the drive may be dirty and needs to be cleaned. If the latter, you will have to take it to an Apple repair facility.
Ciao.

Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

Hi how to logout from apple store in ipad mini

Hi how to log out from apple store in ipad mini

From the Home Screen, tap AND HOLD any of the App icons until they wiggle. The ones you can delete will have an "x" in the top-left corner. Tap the "x" of the app you wish to delete and follow the on-screen prompt. The apps that do NOT have the "x" while wiggling cannot be deleted as they are system-embedded apps. To exit from the wiggling icons mode, tap the Home button once.
Note that you cannot delete apps (purchased or free) from the App Store. they remain there indefinitely in the cloud (or until they are removed by Apple or the developer for some reason).

Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

You can share them this way:
Suppose you and the person you're trying to share with (I'll call her Jane) have two separate computers with two separate Apple IDs. Each of those two computers have a current version of iTunes.
You could copy your book from your version of iTunes over to Jane's. How you do that depends on what types of computers you have, etc.
So now your book is sitting in Jane's iTunes. But you own the book, so Jane cannot access it. What you have to do, then, is authorize Jane to access the book you bought.
You do that on Jane's computer in iTunes by going to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu. Enter your Apple ID and password there.
Then once Jane syncs her iPad to her iTunes, she will have access to your book.

I want to move a hard drive from one MacBook to a newer MacBook

I want to understand the full process I need to go through. Both MacBooks are running 10.6.8. The older MacBook A has a larger hard drive (new last year). I want to keep the newer MacBook B and put the newer hard drive in it. I also want to replicate the data from the older MacBook A onto the newer one...the data is already on the hard drive, but I assume I'll have to restore it after I move the drive into the newer computer. I will use Time Machine to move the data.
Here are the specs:
MacBook A:
MacBook running 10.6.8 with 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
contains the hard drive I want to move
MacBook B:
MacBook running 10.6.8 with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I want to move the hard drive and data here
1. Will this work? What would happen if I just moved the hard drive and turned on MacBook B? I'm assuming that's not a good option, but am I wrong?
2. I have the original install DVD for 10.5.4 and a newer install DVD for 10.6.3. Do I need to use the original disk and then update. or can I start with 10.6.3?
3. Is it safe to assume that if I back up MacBook A using Time Machine I will be able to restore it onto MacBook B once I move the hard drive and re-install the operating system?
4. Should I wipe the hard drive before I move it?
5. I plan to put MacBook B's hard drive into MacBook A, reinstall the op sys, and sell it. Will it be compatible? It comes from a faster machine.
I can get info on the physical aspects of moving the drives on YouTube, so I'm really more interested in how to make sure I get the operating system and data parts right.
Thanks for any and all help. Step by step instructions would be awesome!
Jeannie

1. What would happen if I just moved the hard drive and turned on MacBook B? I'm assuming that's not a good option, but am I wrong?
I can see no reason why this would not work. I would try it.
What you do next depends on the results of this test.
2. You do not need to go back to 10.5, except when you are selling A.
3. Yes. If you reinstall the OS on B, during set up you can transfer data from a TM back up.
4. Since you plan to reinstall the OS after the drive is in place, I would not erase before the transfer. That will give you a chance to test the transplant before you reinstall. You can of course wipe the drive just before you start the install.
5. No problem. Drives don't care about a machine's processor speed.

HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works. At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

Help! I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works. I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter. At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer. No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work. There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import. The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live. In other words, I can see it but not click on it. I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem. How can I get the Import button to work?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

From my PC how can I see what is stored in my cloud? Reason is I want to move an audio books from my Ipad to Iphone. I am new to the Apple products.

I am new to apple products. Have a Window 7 PC, I phone 4s and Ipad . I want to move an audio book purcahsed on the Ipad to my I phone so I signed up for the cloud because it said what I described above would be possible. How do I do it? Also, how can I see exactly what is in "my Cloud" and selectively downloard the bits and pieces of what is in m cloud to a particular device. Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone.

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?
