Itunes movie rental wont move to ipod.

I rented a movie and it synced to my iphone. I then found out that I cannot play the movie on my TV through the iphone so I tried to move the movie to my 30 gig Ipod video. Could not move it. I tried re-renting the movie while my ipod video was connected to itunes on my pc. The movie downloaded and is in the rental folder in the itunes library but I cannot movie it to my ipod. I tried itunes help and followed their directions without success. The movie is stuck in the "Rental" folder in the library and cannot be moved anywhere. Please advise.

Hi,
I see this question is marked "non answered" yet the answer is there. It is my belief that our 30 or 60g (aka 5th gen video) iPods, because they allow analog transfer to a TV, are not able to accepts a rental movie. It's unfortunate because that's how we watch iTunes content. I think I will buy a Mac Mini soon to accomplish this function.

  • Purchased iTunes movies to ipod touch

    My son has an ipod touch and wanted to drag "The Adventures of Tin Tin" that he had purchased (through a download code that came with the DVD) from iTunes. He tried it 2 ways- once dragging it from Itunes to ipod and syncing, and once going to the ipod on the left side, clicking 'movies' and clicking the check on that film and syncing the ipod. Either way it shows it as downloaded, but when he tries to find it on the ipod, it can't be found.
    He has 5.1.1 software installed.
    Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

    Hi Illaass- thanks for asking.
    No strange movies showing and have tried the reset with no luck. We also did the unsync and reloaded just the one.
    Seems we've hit a wall of weirdness.

    Hello AG650,
    That is a bummer, lets see if we can get your devices to show back up in iTunes. Take a look at the article below to continue your troubleshooting, it will have you check the drivers on your computer for a proper installation as well as checking any third party software conflicts.

  • Upgrading to Windows vista means itunes wont detect my ipod?? Help please.

    Recently upgraded to windows Vista. Big whopdeedo.
    But anyway, when I plug my ipod in, windows tries to update drivers for it, but of course failas horribly.
    However, this is having a knock on effect that means itunes wont detect my ipod. So, while my ipod recharges, I cannot sync it. Thus I can't add new songs and what-not.
    Please help.

    Yes my ipod is jailbroken, but this has never proved an issue before.
    Its not just itunes that now wont recognise my ipod, my other software wont either, and they used to work with the jailbroken ipod.
    This all started after i synced a nano, then connected my ipod and a screen came up saying ipod camera connected.
    I click on the camera icon in mycomputer and properties tab then selected take no action in the events tab.
    This hasnt resolved my issue, and the ipod still comes up as a camera in mycomputer, the only difference being im now not prompted to choose a program to view my photos with.
    This is really getting up my nose, as for the second poster, sorry that article was no help at all.
    Please someone help me

  • Itunes movie rental playback on TV

    Now that the UK has finally caught up with the US with regard to itunes movies (or films over here!) I was wondering how people find the actual experience of downloading a rental to their touch and playing it back over a line out connection to a TV? Quality / Battery life etc... My previous experience with a 5th gen video iPod was an acceptable picture but not that I would say was any where near DVD quality (understand the heavy compression used).

    Hi musicvan
    You are correct,it isn't DVD quality. I tried a couple of music videos from my ipod Touch before the UK introduced movie renting/buying. The quality was acceptable, however I don't think I'll be watching any movies through my Touch on my 32" LCD, especially now HD is getting more popular.
    You also need to purchase the ipod Touch docking station. Any other third party ipod dock will only give you sound, no video (something to do with a security chip Apple installed on the Touch). The alternative is 'Apple Component AV Cable', which finally gave me what I was looking for.
    Hope this helps!

  • TS4124 ie should icloud allow apple tv to play my itunes movie rentals without itunes being open on my computer

    Shouldn't icloud sent my itunes movie rentals to apple TV without my computer open to itunes?

    Do I need to back-up all my movies and songs on to a hard drive
    Yes. An Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone is not intended to be a backup device and shouldn't be treated as one.
    The virus does not allow me to open iTunes, so how can I deauthorize that computer?
    You can't. If you run out of authorizations, you can use the Deauthorize All command. Otherwise, you should probably just leave it as is.

  • Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

    I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
    And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
    Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
    Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
    (Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
    What are your thoughts, folks?

    If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
    HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
    As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

  • I have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

    After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

    Are you using a Macbook?
    If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
    Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
    To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
    Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.

  • Ow do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized".  What do I do to fix this?

    How do I sync a movie downloaded to iTunes, but I get a message that says "Cannot sync movie to iPod because this computer is not authorized"?  How do I fix this?

    And I assume you have already checked to see if your iTunes purchases are authorized by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer?
    Some have been able to resolve this issue by removing the downloaded purchase and redownloading it again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information on redownloading past purchases.

  • ITunes 10 rental movie error 8008

    In iTunes 10, I try to download rental movie Judas Kiss. It stops at 200,1 MB with error 8008. Already deleted a temp file. Any idea?
    Cheers,
    Naat

    To: b noir
    Reporting:
    I deleted the Downloads folder (within the Music Folder) it did have a very small partially downloaded file for the movie. I opened iTunes and selected Check for Available Downloads – it began the download showing approx. 17-minutes time remaining — then the time remaining in the window quickly reduced to 3 minutes and then stopped. Exactly what has happened every time I have tried. I think the file is corrupted (as one of the message windows suggests is possible). I also tried to download from another of our computers and the same thing happened.
    I have spoken with Apple and they have also been in touch via email. I answered all their questions and responded quickly but here in Seattle, WA USA we do have a snow storm today though my broadband connection remains steady and fast — but it is now 7:30 PM so any chance of resolving this issue and settling down to enjoy The Ides of March tonight is probably out. Ironic movie title for a problem download.
    I am now downloading Moenyball (Brad Pitt) and so far it IS downloading properly. I decided to take another $3.99 risk to see if it was my computer or connection or Apple's iTunes movie file for the other film. I have my answer!
    Thanks for playing… I really do appreciate your help.

  • TS1717 iTunes movie rental stops playing on ipad

    iTunes movie rental keeps freezing at same point in rental is there anything I can do?

    I have the same problem. At first I got this message:
    This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB of ram. I have purchased numerous TV episodes in both HD & SD and have no issues. i rented this movie yesterday and could only play it via my Apple TV. I haven't installed the latest OS update but my itunes is up to date and like I mentioned I can play everything else.
    I just tried again after changing the setting to switch displays to save power. Now every time I try to play the movie it asks me to authorize my computer, then tells me its already authozied, then gives me a black screen in play mode with no movement on the play indicator.

    Hey rossfromwarren,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you were experiencing an issue with an iTunes Movie Rental. Due to the time limits associated with rentals, you may wish to report a problem with your purchase if the issue was not resolved before expiration:

  • My iTunes movie rentals won't play. How can I fix this?

    I've been able to purchase and download iTunes movie rentals. However, when I click 'play' iTunes attempts to play the movie but it doesn't start. I don't get a playback window only the movie title in the 'play' pane. The counter does not run.
    Can this be fixed? Is it a bug in 10.7.5 or iTunes?
