Movie Rental iTunes Store - Apple TV2

1. When you go to rent a movie and get notice that it will take 1-2 hours before you can view the movie, when the movie is ready for viewing how long does it hold before you have to start over?
2. If you have rented a movie but missed the view window on your Apple TV2 is there any way you can download that rented movie to your computer, so you can view it on home sharing from your computer next time?

1. It should remain ready for viewing until you are ready to watch it, unless you navigate to something else or turn the Apple Tv off.
2. If you want rentals to download to the computer, you need to rent them from the computer.

Streaming movie rented in iTunes to Apple TV2

Hi
I have a home network set up, and from our iMac stream movies, music etc to Apple TV2. Wireless router is Airport Extreme, with a Time Capsule acting as an extender. All hardware is running the latest version of software. Sharing of movies and music, photos from the mac's library is working flawlessly, but I cannot get movies rented from iTunes store to stream to the Apple TV. In iTunes on the mac Rentals is a seperate folder in the library to movies I have copied to the iTunes library. I cannot see the rented movie in my shared library on ATV2 or a section for rentals. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Rental movies from iTunes Store

Dear Friends,
Trying to rent a movie from iTunes Store, why in some cases the icon where to click to rent the movie is a liter shade of gray and won't let me rent the movie when compared to other movies in the same catagory? My account has the proper funds. Here is an other twist, this happens on MacBook Air, but does not happen on iPad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the assistance in advance.
Thomas

Launch iTunes on the MBAir.
From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Parental Tab.
Deselect: Explicit Content
Then click OK.

HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

Yes that's perfectly possible.
The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.

TS2972 i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2,

i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2, i have spent insane amounts of money on the apple store buying movies and tv shows that i cannot watch anymore, and no there is no firewall on my laptop nor my router, so no port configuration is needed
i have read many articles for this problem but there is no solution, some say restart the router, others say uncheck the option to sync iphone over wi-fi, others suggest not hitting the "done" button after setting up homeshare on itunes, NONE of them work. My itunes library disappears from ym apple tv 2 after 5 minutes or so

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

you can't, unless you fulfill these requirements:
From the itunes store terms of service:
+to purchase from an iTunes Store in a particular country, you must have both a residential address and a billing address in that particular country. Items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who use a credit card, debit card, iTunes Gift Certificate, or iTunes Gift Card issued in and for that country.+

Can't browse music and movies in iTunes store

Out of the sudden, I'm not longer able to browse music o movies on iTunes store in iPad 2. The store works perfectly on my MacBook Pro (running Lion 10.7.2) and on iPod Toch, allowing me to browse (and purchase) music or movies using same Apple ID.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried closing the iTunes app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with iTunes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Another option is to try logging out of your account by tapping on it Settings > Store and then logging back in.

Why are there limited view movies on iTunes Store

Why are there limited view movies on iTunes Store?
Hi, I want to rent a movie from my iTunes Store on my Apple TV
The movie called "friends with benefits"
And more movies and it's write to me on the top in the right size "limited"
Why??
My age is 23 and all the deitals are true and ok
What I need to do???

Right now, you can only get movies and tv shows if you are in the U.S. or you have a bank account and address in the U.S. Or if you get a gift certificate that is from the U.S. you can access it that way. But if you use an out of the country bank, address or buy a non us gift certificate you are out of luck. What I mean by U.S. gift certificate is one that is purchased in the U.S. or over the net with a U.S. credit card drawn on a U.S. bank. Hope this helps, and sorry. I am an American as well and live in Mexico, and took me awhile to figure it out.
