Moving an iTunes Movie Rental from one computer to another

How do I do it?
When I try to play it on the second computer, I get the message:
"Cannot play rental because it is authorized for playback on another computer or device." or similar.
Thanks!

According to the documentation I found today... after a lot of digging.
"You can only play your rented movies on the computer you rented it from and only if it is authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases and rentals."
This is an extremely bad user experience. I now have 2 rentals on my work mac that I can't play at home as I intended. Didn't anyone think that users would download with their fastest network? Users should be abel to play rentals on of their five authorized machines. I was considering an iTV setup, not any more.
And watching a movie on an iPhone... what a waste!

  • Can I transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another?

    A movie I rented on one PC with iTunes Windows won't transfer to my main PC.  I'm using the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7. 
    I also have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6.  I can't transfer the movie rental there either. 
    (I want the movie on my main PC, because only that PC will show it on my TV.  Both PC's are suthorized.
    Help!

    Sorry, but rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Unless someone's found a trick I haven't seen, if you want the rental on your main PC, you'll have to pay to rent it again. As to transferring the rental to your iPhone, see:

  • Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

    Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

    Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.

  • HT1657 how do you move a movie rental from one computer to another computer

    I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Macbook Air.
    I now want to watch it on my iMac, but it tells me its authorized to play on another computer.
    FAQ says I need to move it from one computer to another.
    How do I do this?

    You may be able to move it by syncing it to an iPod or iOS device capable of playing it and then using the Transfer Purchases function; it won't play on the destination computer if moved in the normal way.
    If it can't be moved that way, no.
    If the MacBook Air isn't usable, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

    Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?  I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro.  I have aperture 3 on both units.  Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

    You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

  • I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

    I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.  Both have Digital Editions installed.  Older one 2.0 ver has books installed.  Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed.  Both are authorized with the same user id.  Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first?  How do I do that?  Do I have to manually transfer files?  How do I do that?  Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

    Figured it out.  Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions.  duh.  Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

  • Trying to move VI from one computer to another w/ all sub VI's

    Hi all
    New to the community, LabView, and computer programming; needless to say, I need some help. I'm trying to move a VI from one computer to another, and this VI has a number of subVI's used in it. When I tried to move the VI itself, I'm not able to run it on the new computer because the subVIs aren't there; in their place are a number of gray question marks. I figure I need to go find the subVI's on the other computer and move them over as well, but (a) the computers I'm working on are so disorganized and jumbled that I can barely find anything and (b) there's a lot of subVIs that need moving, and doing an individual search for each would take forever. Is there a way I can move the VI over while automoatically taking the subVIs it uses with it?
    Thanks!

    The simple solution is the source distribution under the build specifications.
    Buy you really should clean up your directory structures.  If you can't quickly find a VI, it is next to useless.  Then I highly recommend getting a source control software to maintain your projects.  Something like Tortois SVN works very well (and is free).
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • Need to move music from one computer to another

    Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

    It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
    Good luck

  • Itunes Playlist Transfer From One Computer to another

  • Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

    I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

    I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
    Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
    All in all very unsatisfactory.
    Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
    Suggestions welcome.

    Hi Erik,
    I hope your well and sorry for the delay... busy day in the UK Office!
    So here is some information on SE LE and Full Differences:
    LabVIEW SignalExpress Limited Edition, otherwise known as LabVIEW
    SignalExpress LE, is software included with all National Instruments
    NI-DAQmx supported hardware devices. It allows the user to acquire,
    log, and export data with ease. With LabVIEW SignalExpress LE, users
    are now able to create one log per project and then export the
    collected data to ASCII or have it displayed in Excel. LabVIEW
    SignalExpress LE meets many basic data logging needs.
    However,
    LabVIEW SignalExpress LE does not provide more complex data logging
    functionalities. It is not capable of inline analysis functions, data
    logging alarms and events, documentation view, multiple data logging
    files in a single project and other more advanced data logging
    operations. These features are all available with LabVIEW SignalExpress.
    When
    LabVIEW SignalExpress LE is first installed, the user is given a free
    30-day trial of LabVIEW SignalExpress. After the 30-day trial period
    has expired, the user either chooses to register their copy of LabVIEW
    SignalExpress to continue using the Limited Edition or purchase LabVIEW
    SignalExpress.
    By default, LabVIEW SignalExpress LE displays
    only the features available in the Limited Edition. The settings can be
    configured so that the steps available in the Full Edition are also
    displayed. Select Tools>>Options to display the Options dialog box. On the General page, select Yes for the Show unlicensed steps option.
    For
    a summary of the differences between LabVIEW SignalExpress Limited
    Edition and LabVIEW SignalExpress features refer to the following chart:
    (See Attachment)
    So this leads me to beleive you should be okay.  You can copy and paste the SE.proj file from machine to machine.
    Let me know how you get on,
    Kind Regards,
    Kind Regards
