Movie Rental via IPAD ios 4.2: why  do I have to download the movie?

Hi folks,
I read renting a movie running ios 4.2 in IPAD would mean:
- Rent and watch (no more download, cause renting and downloading was possible before)
What do I have to do to rent a movie in ITUNES on IPAD or IPHONE and watching it IMMEDIATELLY? No download - is it possible?
Thanx
Stephan

Could you mean transferring a rental bought on an Ipad to a computer? From the following:
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

    You can't get a new DVD, which is what RG said. VUDU, the download service Walmart resells, is a different subject and not what RG was referring to.
    But what some other company can allow is irrelevent to the issue. From the iTunes Store, movies can be re-downloaded only in the US, and then only from those movie studios that have allowed it. This is not by Apple's choice; it's completely the choice of the movie studios.If your movie is not available under the Purchased section of your iTunes Store account, then redownloading is available only if you purchase the movie again.

  • HT1860 I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?

    I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer.  What am I missing?  I have home sharing set up and can see my computer iTunes on my apple TV.  I just can't see my apple TV movie on my computer.

    Hello theycallmeboz,
    If the movie was purchased on the AppleTV it wont show up in home sharing until that movie has been downloaded to an iTunes library. You can download previous purchases from the iTunse Store at any time. The article below goes over that process.

  • HT1657 if i want to watch a movie on my ipad do i have to order the movie from itunes from my ipad or can i download it from my desktop then sync my ipad

    i want to watch a rented movie on my ipad while I am travelling.  Do I have to download the movie from itunes from my ipad or do I access itunes from my desktop then just sync my ipad to watch the movie on my ipad?

    Yes that is correct. However there is one slight difference with rented content, in that you need to transfer it to your iPad rather than simply sync. You can do this by selecting the rental in iTunes from the left hand side of the iTunes window and choosing the transfer option.
    Yes it will be transferred to the video app on your iPad.

  • Movie rental on iPad iTunes not showing up

    Please help! We spent 2 hours downloading a movie rental to iPad and it's not appearing in purchases

    THANK YOU Demo.  Why in the world doesn't iTunes tell you that it's going to put the movie there, in a completely separate app?  I hate iTunes.

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

    Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

    Ok. That's strange.  The download should show up immediately in the lower right.  Even if it is stuck, you will se the red number.  So something is blocking the purchase.  Take a look at setting, restrictions, and see if something there is turned on that might be blocking you.

  • HT201272 Can't get movie rental from iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S?

    How do you get a movie rental on iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S so we can watch??

    You can't, rentals are one-time only downloads, and from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. 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.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • Cna a movie be ftored on sd card and played via camera card reader. i transfered my movie from itunes to sd card. i set up a new file renamed the movie to dscf ... name , it loaded tom ipad but ipad says it cannot open?

    I am trying to store movies on sd card from traveling. I want to play movie from camera card reader.i transferred the movie to sd card, I change the name to DSCF... and put in new folder created by my camera. the movie loads to ipad just fine but the ipad wont open it. what am I missing or it it not possible?

    In THEORY, you can. However there are a lot of hoops to jump through. And the last time I played with it was when my device was running iOS7.
    You put the movie file on an SD card. Follow the naming convention. Give it a file name of 8 characters. Put it in a folder named DCIM.
    You can't watch the movie off the SD card.  You have to import the movie onto your device (so you need plenty of free room) watch then delete.
    What you may be running into is if those movies were downloaded from iTunes or some other source they may have digital rights management on them prohibiting you moving them around and watching them like you're trying to do.

    I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
