Movie rentals vs purchased

I recently found out (the hard way -:) that you can't watch rented movies with the 5th generation iPod although Apple did credit my account! But what about purchased movies?....I will be traveling this weekend and would still like to see the movies that I tried to rent a few weeks ago...so if I purchase them...will I be able to watch them on my 5th gen iPod?

Hello DJ Keith,
Yes, your iPod should be able to play purchased movies from the iTunes store.
For more information on purchased movies from the iTunes store check out this Apple support document. Hope this helps.

  • Movie Rentals and Purchases on IPad - What's wrong with this?

    Bought my very first Apple product...(IPad 64G WiFi only) last week.
    I intended to use it just to keep me busy reading, watching movies, playing games, on all the long flights to Europe and Asia that I take.
    So yesterday I excitedly set up an ITunes account, and downloaded 4 movie rentals, and purchased one other movie (Angels and Demons). All HD. I just figure I'd let it run all night and I'd see the movies the next morning.
    The rentals all appear to have downloaded, and they show up in the videos section. HOWEVER, they are ALL marked "Expires in 17 hours". Never started watching any of them, why are they already set to expire? The rental info section of Itunes says I have 30 days to start watching, then 24 hours after that til they expire.
    As for the purchased movie, th it appeared stuck on the "tap to retry" icon, which I did several times, with repeated errors, until the download icon simply disappeared and no sign of the dowload status or the actual movie anywhere.
    I DID get billed for all of these. This is like 40 bucks worth of stuff.
    Everyone who uses MAC stuff always brags about how great it is, how excellent customer service is, how things just "work", etc.
    Color me WAY not impressed. No answers to my emails sent through ITunes help (yes, I checked spam folder) and no movies for my flight to China this weekend.
    Any suggestions on things to change to make it work better next time? OR just buy a **** portable DVD player for 400 bucks less than an Ipad?

  • Getting Credit of Movie Rental when Purchasing?  Try before you Buy?

    When you rent a movie through iTunes, and after viewing the movie you wish you had purchased it, it would be nice to have the rental credited towards the purchase, if the purchase was done within the 24 hours of viewing.   This is a Try Before You Buy option.   Anyone else like to see this?

    Tell Apple.

  • HT1657 change movie rental to purchase

    I accidentally rented a movie whenI meant to purchase it on Apple TV is there anyway to change this?

    Purchases are considered final, but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you so that you can buy it instead : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Movie Rentals / Purchased TV Shows no longer play on iTunes

    Playing movie rentals and purchased TV shows have been working just fine on iTunes until a few days ago when I attempted to watch a movie rental, a pop-up warning came on and I pressed OK too quickly to fully read it. It said something about being incompatible. Unfortunately, since the error, I'm unable to watch the movie or any of the purchased TV shows on my MacBook Pro. All I get is a black screen with nothing happening after repeatedly pressing the Play button. I've tried to delete and re-download the TV shows, and iTunes Support has had me delete the movie and TV shows and re-download them. Still getting the black screen. Can anyone help??

    The lack of a purchase date, although I am not quite sure why it happens, does not in itself prevent the track from being authorized and played.  However, since the account name is correct and they have disappeared from your purchase history, something may have been corrupted.
    Unless someone here has a better idea,  you should take it up with iTunes Customer Service.

  • Was downlading a movie rental i purchsed after a while my internet got disconected and the download now has two errors and not succesfull download can you please help. :)

    WAS DOWNLOADING A MOVIE RENTAL I PURCHASED AFTER A WHILE MY INTERNET GOT DISCONNECTED AND I AM TRYING TO SEE IT AGAIN. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

    Erin I am sorry you are facing difficulty downloading the Creative Cloud software.  It can be frustrating when you do not have access to high speed stable Internet.
    You can attempt to download the base installers and updates by following the directions listed at:
    Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
    All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools
    You may want to attempt to utilize some form of download management as the main issue seems to be the stability of your connection.
    There is not currently a method to resume downloads within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  There is download management included though it may not be enough to compensate for the current Internet connection.  If you are curious you can find additional details on how to resolve download errors at Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

    It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

  • Do Movie Rentals appear to other devices in the 'Purchased Tab'

    I recently bought Resident Evil Retribution as a HD Movie rental on my Windows PC in iTunes, I wanted to however download and watch on my iPad2
    or other iOS Device
    Strangely the movie does not appear in any purchased tabs on my:
    iPhone4
    Windows Laptop iTunes
    iPad2
    Do Rentals count as a Purchase and can I watch rentals on another iOS device?

    Hi crystallynn04 - welcome to the forum!
    I think you would be best to convert your movie to a Full Quality QuickTime file, that should then play on other machines, so long as they have QT installed, presumably then also being importable to iMovie 08 if needs be.

  • Transferring movie rentals/purchases to other devices

    I just downloaded my first movie rental to my iMac. I think I can transfer it to my Macbook, iPod, iPhone, etc. And I believe it can only reside on one device at a time. I just can't figure out how to transfer it. Is it possible? Thanks, and would this apply to rentals as well as purchases? Thanks!

    this has worked for some rentals:
    connect your device to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices):
    Click the Movies or TV Shows tab, depending upon the item you rented.
    Select the rented item.
    Click Move.After you transfer a rental, it’s removed from your iTunes library.
    Some movies and TV episodes in the iTunes Store are available for rental in HD-quality format. HD rentals can only be transferred from your computer to iOS devices capable of viewing HD content. If you rent an HD movie with an Apple TV, you can’t transfer it to another computer or device.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically.
    Note:  These terms apply to U.S. rentals. Rental terms vary among countries.

  • I recently purchased a movie rental and have 23 hours left to watch it!

    So, I just purchased a movie rental in SD for The Curious Case of Bejamin Button on my macbook pro. I finally get it to start downloading, when I receive a pop-up that says I have 23 hours left to watch it! But it hasn't finished downloading yet and I can't watch it!? How does this happen?! And what can I do? I contacted support, but I'm afraid they will not reach me back in time (before I leave town tomorrow) Does anyone know what I can do? Your help is very APPRECIATED!!
    Thanks,

    You must have started it by accident.

  • ITunes HD movie rentals/purchases don't play in QuickTime player

    I am trying to play HD movie rentals/purchases in QuickTime player. Although I can play them without problems in iTunes, opening the movie file in QuickTime player only gives me a grey screen and no sound. The "grey screen" issue occurs several times in the community, but for my case I haven't found any solution so far. I am using Windows 7 (64-bit), and I have all the latest versions of iTunes and QuickTime Player (free version) installed. I appreciate any suggestions for help.

     i can open the files in VLC, and when i spress the space bar, the preview window plays the file. It also plays the file when i click on it once, then press the play button on the file itself.
    that tells me, the needed codecs are already on the system.
    m4v is a container format for iTunes and contains mostly two streams. One video H264, one sound mp4
    Check handbrake for its sound settings.
    Try to rename the movie into kids playing.mp4 and check if Quicktime will open it.
    Quicktime is a crap.
    By the way...
    What OS X ?
    What version of Quicktime?
    Generally ... if VLC, iTunes, FrontRow is available and plays the movies, why want to play it in Quicktime?
