No. Once downloaded to an iOS device it cannot be transferred to another iOS device or computer, & can only be watched on that iOS device.

HT1577 Why am I experiencing long download times for an HD movie rental from itunes?

I have been experiencing long download times for movie rentals from itunes (this time 11 hours). I have even tried to use ethernet, turn off simultaneous downloads, and shut down my browser, to speed up the time but that didn't help. My internet download speed is about 7mbps. Any suggestions?

iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

Watching a movie rented from iTunes store on television using ITV

I installed my recently purchased Apple TV and had everything working smoothly until renting a movie from iTunes store. The movie would play on my computer monitor, but not on the television. When I tried a window would appear saying, "the movie was not copied to the Apple TV because the Apple TV could not contact the iTunes Store to authorize. Please check your Internet connection or try again later." The Internet connection to the television worked fine as did the Internet connection to the computer. It was only when I tried to watch the movie on television that the problem arose. What could be the problem?

Same thing here... Direct purchase of musicvideos, tv shows, etc. via Apple TV with no problem (account is valid, connection is there, content is downloaded). Musicvideos and tv shows are synced to my iTunes library and I can play the complete content on my computer. Musicvideos ARE available on ATV (just bought one via iTunes... and directly available and playable on ATV), but purchased tv shows are not available and will not sync (tv show WAS bought via Apple TV... synced to iTunes... but after changing syncing to the latest 5 episodes of tv shows I cannot stream with the online and connected iTunes library to watch my bought shows).
Help!

When you download from your IPAD a movie rental from ITUNES-where do you go to find it?

When you download a movie rental from the ITUNES app. on my IPAD-how do you find the movie rental to be able to watch?not under video,purchases,movies-?

If you don't find it in the Videos App look in the iPod App as well. If you still can't find it, from your home screen, swipe to the right to bring up the Spotlight search feature. Type in the name of the movie. If the movie appears - tap it and it should begin to play.

TS1566 How to remove an incomplete download from itunes store on iPhone?

Hi,
I have recently purchased an HD movie from itune store using my mobile. Being a 16 gb iphone4 with numerous other aps and playlists already cluttering the phone, I had no room for downloding the 4.8GB movie file on my phone. Hence I constantly see the movie being attempted be automatically downloaded which throws up an error.
I have already downloaded the movie on my home computer and do not wish to download the movie on my phone. And most certainly want the incomplete movie download to be deleted.
How do I do it. Is there any way apple can stop the file from reflecting on my phone?

first you sync your phone with itunes and remove the broken files from the itunes library.then resync the phone.:)

Can't move music from iTunes store onto my poor old iPod (2004)

I have an old click wheel iPod (more than 3yrs old) and I am having trouble moving songs I purchased from iTunes store onto it. they download fine onto my PC (I Know, I know, I'm buying a MacBook soon).
I keep getting an error message saying I cannot move these songs onto my iPod as that machine is not authorised (and this is the only device I have tried so it can't be the more than 5 issue). It this because my iPod it too old?
Help, as I have wasted a lot of money on music I can only listen to on my PC

Any help here?

Movie Downloads from iTunes Store won't play on my Mac or iPhone

Have just downloaded my Star Trek digital copy from the iTunes store; it is sitting on my Mac's hard drive as a .m4v file of nearly 2Gb; seems OK. However, if I click on 'play' in iTunes it shows a progress bar playing in iTunes & in the separate movie window I get a blank screen & no sound. I then sync'ed it with my iPhone & when I go into the iPod on the iPhone & play the movie I get the error "This movie could not be played". I have some podcasts on the Mac & iPhone & they work OK on both platforms.
Now I understood that the .m4v format was alright to play on both my Mac & on the iPhone but it's not working for me...anyone encountered this before / got any ideas pls?
Appreciate any help thx...Brooke.

Same issue. I've been buying TV shows and movies on iTunes for a long time and copying them to my iPhone to watch on my TV. A few days ago, I tried to move a rented movie to my iPhone the same way I always did, click the "move" button next to the movie under the movies tab for the iPhone in iTunes when iPhone was connected and then click "apply". It would do a quick sync without copying anything.
I thought I had a bum file, so I e-mailed Apple support and they reset the purchase so that I could redownload, which I'm doing now.
But my recently downloaded episodes of Lost will also not copy to my iPhone. AND they will not even play on my iMac. When I try to play them, it shows only a grey screen with a progress bar. TV shows and movies purchased and downloaded weeks or months ago still play fine.
No changes have been made to my system. After the rented movie didn't play and copy, I did a update check and downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone firmware. That didn't fix it. I have the newest versions of the Quicktime and iTunes. The computer is authorized for these purchases. The iPhone is authorized.
I've looked at similar threads and have not found a solution. I'm stumped. If anyone has a solution let me know.

Need to get reefund on rentals from itune store...had several bad copies previously,so they gave refund and an agreement to rent 3 more movies for free...i stioll have one more credit for a free movie and they have erroneously charged for two more movies.

I've tried to get to support on line to no avail...called the 1-800 number and they keep telling me to go to expresslane.com/itunes/support. i've been billed for 2 movies that were rented...considering I stiil have a credit from the last go-around, where the movies rented kept hanging up or i was billed twice for the same movie...they awarded me 4 credits, of which i have used 3...I still have 1 last credit and they continue to bill for 2 movies, one of which kept hanging up and it took 3 hours to see a 90 minute movie by the time we started and backed up the track seveal times....right on my account from the itunes store it is listed 1 credit remaining....it's not a big deal, but if that's the way they conduct themselves, than i want nothing to do with them in the future!

I am always calling and asking but I will do it again since I did not ask this past month and a half. I have always been told they never have any specials or packages on the Jet packs at least in our area.
That being said, on our neighborhood forum, internet speed and availability has been the hot topic this month. Since everyone is now starting to get high speed unlimited internet access for $60 a month, I'm hoping my post will be moot.
Thank you both for responding

Force 1080p Movie Downloads from iTunes Store

Hi everyone, my first post here.
I know that you can change preferences for HD movies between 720 and 1080p in iTunes settings, and mine is set to 1080p. When I am about to download a movie I can see on the movie page that it says "Available in 720p and 1080p, downloading 1080p", and then it displays the size in GB of the 1080p file.
HOWEVER, my concern is that when attempting to download a movie in 1080p with a device with a sub-1080p resolution (which includes every macbook except the Retina I believe) iTunes will automatically decide for you that the movie is larger than your screen and so it will download the 720p version. I have verified this by checking the resolution of the finished download, and also the size of the movie is ~1-2 GB (depends on the movie) smaller than the labeled 1080p size on iTunes store.
I borrowed a 1080p monitor and tried again, and I was able to get a full 1080 download. I am positive that my settings are right, and that the movie in question is available in both resolutions. (I have tested this with many movies actually).
So, yes it's true that my MBA screen resolution cannot handle 1080p movies, but my iPad can and so can my Apple TV so I don't think this arbitraty restriction is warranted. Anyone know of a way around this? I will not be buying movies from the iTunes store anymore if they are forced to 720p instead of 1080p resolution because of my Macbook Air. You pay the same amount of money for either resolution but one is significantly better and I am not able to download it (not trying to discuss whether 1080 is actually better than 720, with my TV setup it is).
Worth mentioning: The above issues have been with RENTED movies only, I have not tried downloading a full length movie because I'm not about to spend $15 instead of $4 just to have this issue again.
Try this yourselves!!! Many of you have probably had this same problem for ages but not even realized it. This should make you angry! Would also be interested if the problem persists for purchased movies, if anyone has tested this.

HT1745 quicktime not authorized to play movies rented from iTunes store

Rented 3 movies last night from the iTunes store. Download began and ended just fine. When I tried to view one of the movies, quicktime opened with this message: "QuickTime Player is not authorized to play “Clara's Heart.m4v”. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes"
So, I tried to open with iTunes, and discovered that I couldn't.
Any ideas of what to do please? I would appreciate explanations in simpe english as I do not understand computer jargon. Thanks very much.

Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
iTunes 10.4 for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode
Does the rental play then?

I just downloaded a movie rental from iTunes. Where did it go?? It's not in downloads, purchased or anywhere that I can see.

Just downloaded a rental movie to iPad, It's not showing up in purchased, downloads, or anywhere else I can tell. When I reselect the movie from movie section, it says it's downloaded
On my desktop, it created a separate section called "rentals"

Downloaded films (and those synced from your computer) should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
