Movies for rent on iTunes?

Is there a way to just search for the movies that are available to rent? Seems like everything I pull up is only available to buy.

Is it SD only?
AppleTV2 is a bit stupid - it only lets you configure to show content that's either SD or HD in Settings from the store.
AppleTV1 showed you SD if it was only available in SD, or SD and HD with their respective prices if both available - far more logical.
Remember you can always rent in itunes then once downloaded to itunes the file will be available under Computers>iTunes Name>Rentals category (only appears if itunes has a rental to play). iTunes must of course be running.

Are there fewer movies for rent, pushing purchasing?

Why are there fewer movies for rent via itunes on my AppleTV? Movies that are available for rent thru other services (windows, amazon, etc) are only available for sale in itunes. I don't want to purchase movies, I want to rent them as I previously have done for the past 2 years with my AppleTV. Anyone know what's going on?

I think this is a better question for the iTunes forums (as opposed to the ATV forums) since it's more specifically an iTunes question.

HT1657 Is Prometheus for rent on iTunes? Rotten Tomatoes says it is but I don't see a rent it tab when I go to the movie info on iTunes

Is Prometheus for rent on iTunes? Rotten Tomatoes has a link to is for rent, but the iTunes movie intro age only lists the buy it tab. WTFO?

It was probably available for rent when Rotten Tomatoes last checked but for now, it is for sale only. Check back and it will eventually be for rent again.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

The movie I rented at itune store failed to download. I tried to download it again, but it seems I would be charged again if I download. How can I download the movie I have already paid without being charged twice?

Hello ktsuchiya
If you can get your rental to download by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Can't find movie I rented in iTunes

Can't find movie I rented from iTunes. Tried purchased &downloads(at bottom of screen). Have first iPad& am new user to all things apple.

It should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store, and the Downloads tab in it is for active/queued downloads) :

Can't find the movie I rented in itunes from MacBook...rediculous

Ok I give up after searching for over 2 hours now for a movie I rented from itunes. I used my MacBook Pro but after the movie downloaded I turned the MacBook off because I wanted to watch it later. Now for the life of me I can not find that damm movie. Can someone help me out? I searched the internet but all I found where frustrated posts from people with the same problem. This is rediculous. It shouldn't be this difficult.

If you have downloaded it directly to your iPad then open the Videos app and go to the Rentals tab.

I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

The fix for this is supposed to be resetting the system clock to automatic time, but this, as we've seen, more often than not fails to work. After a bit of an email exchange between Apple support and myself I discovered the true fix for this issue, or at least, the one that they said to use and that worked for me.
After resetting your clock go to the folder /Users/Shared in Finder and delete the folder "SC Info". This is a hidden folder, so the way you will need to get it to appear is to use the go to folder command (Shift + Command + G) and type in /Users/Shared/SC Info and hit enter. Change to the column view and you'll be able to see the folder there. Move it to the trash and it will go away, and take your problems with it. Restart the computer for the deletion to take effect and then reauthorize your itunes. Should play your rentals after that.
Props to Zarchanalin for the answer!
