IPad iTunes rental not showing up

I just rented an episode of Torchwood on my iPad via ITunes.
I paid for and downloaded the episode.
BUT, the episode is not showing up anywhere on my iPad at all. It's as though i never even downloaded it. Except, when I tried to re-rent it, I an given an alert that tells me I'd already rented it and gives me the option to rent it again (ie, pay for a second rental).
What do I do? I'm incredibly frustrated and upset.

The first thing i did was restart my iPad. Didn't work at all.
I did fix it though, and it's a really annoying solution. All i did was plug it into a computer and opened itunes. The video was instantly there, and suddenly showed up on the iPad too. Without doing anything.
That's really annoying because the whole point of the iPad is portability. For this reason, i didn't bring my laptop with me on vacation. Luckily, i was able to find someone with a mac to solve this problem, otherwise i would be completely out of luck.
Why is there a rental download feature othe iPad if you have to boot it up on a computer with iTunes to see it? It completely invalidates everything useful about the feature.
This is something that needs to be fixed immediately.

  • Why is my ipad itunes store not showing music at the bottom for browsing of music. It only have podcast n ituneU

    Im sick of unable to download song fr i tune!!!

    Oh...and I found a faster way to delete ALL songs off my iPad at once.  Here it is for FYI purposes:
    Settings ==> General ==> Usage.  Tap the Music icon/line.  In the right side of the screen, it will show your the various selections (say if you have audiobooks on your device, as well as Music).  Click the Edit button at the top right of the screen.  You'll see the red "minus sign" circles show up next to each item.  Tap that red circle and a red delete button shows up further to the right.  Tap the "Delete" button to confirm you want to delete that audiobook or your music.  Press the "Done" button at the top when you are finished.

  • My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

  • Itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i deleted itunes and reloaded, it showed up for awhile, said it was restarting my ipad and now is not showing up again, any ideas??

    My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!

    Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera.  This is nothing new or different.
    When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
    Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
    Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:

    Thanks for any help!

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad.
    If you haven't synced to a computer them (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • Itunes Is Not Showing Purchased Movies

    I got a new computer and installed Itunes.  Itunes is only recognizing purchased songs.  It is not recognizing/downloading movies from the cloud  that I received via a code in a movie box.  The movies show up on all my other devices (apple TV, iphone, ipad, etc.).  What can I do to get Itunes to download these movies?
    I've tried deauthorizing the computer and then reauthorizing it.  I've also tried syncing the movies from my iphone, but this doesn't work.  Itunes does not show these movies on my phone when I connect it to Itunes even though they are there.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello ikovalchuk17,
    Congratulations on your new computer!  Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased movies. 
    First, I recommend trying to download the movies from your list of past purchases as outlined in this article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    If you are not seeing your purchases there, I suggest reviewing the section titled "Having trouble with iTunes Digital Copy? " in the following article:

    My iPad 2 does not show the Software Update option.  When I try to update with iTunes the iPad times out.

    Disable or turn off your anti-virus and firewall software on your computer and try the download again.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
