Moving iTunes rented movie to iPhone

I want to move a rented movie from my computer to my iPhone without a complete sync, because the rented movie is on my home computer and I sync to another computer with all the music, etc. Can I just move the movie only without wiping out what is already on the iPhone?

Er, actually you can.
Right-click on the item in iTunes, select "Show in Explorer" (Windows) or "Show in Finder" (Mac OS). Then copy that file onto a disc, memory stick, etc.
You will need the other machine to be verified to use the account which you used to purchase the rental, but that's fine since you can have up to 5 machines.
I do this frequently - you may note I'm from the UK but I have a US iTunes account too (ebay dollar gift card auctions I love you!).
Hope that helps.

Is internet connection needed to watch iTunes rented movies on iPhone/iPad?

I am looking into renting some movies from iTunes to watch on a plane on my iPad. I know I need and internet connection to download the rental and it is then store in iTunes but do i need internet connection to start watching the movie? I read somewhere that to begin the 24/48 hour viewing period iTunes needs to connect to the internet to acknowledge that the time has started. Is this the case or is it possible to just start watching the downloaded rentals through iTunes while on a plane with no access to the internet?

I suspect the answer is no as rented movies can be watched on normal iPods with no connectivity. You'll need an active connection during the transfer of the rented movie from iTunes to the device. At the end of the transfer the device will hold the only copy and it can then enforce the playback time limit without needing to "phone home".

Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

It says
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.

Itune rented movies to ipad

Itune rented movies to IPAD. I have downloaded and moved many movies to ipad for my travels. I just downloaded 2 rented movies today to my imac, and now it will not let me move to my ipad. Itunes claims I have already downloaded to a device. I have used this process many times. Did something change?

I just had the same problem and someone posted the below, which fixed it!
Deleting the SC Info folder also worked for me. See "Remove the SC info folder" on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389

iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include." So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play. HELP Very frustrating.

Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else! Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
Any ideas anyone?

Moving a rented movie computer to iphone

I rented a movie on itunes, planning on transferring to my iphone. I've read all the instructions online and googled what to do. Im being told to simply move my rented movie to my iphone. There is no move button in the itunes menu's or screen. I've synced my phone over and over. I've gone over the entire page and all of it's menu's and cant find anything that will let this happen. How do it?

Imho to "move" movie to your iPhone you can just activate Movie sync.
Connect your iPhone
Open sync settings panel clicking on iPhone name on the iTunes left sidebar
Click on Movie in iTunes main panel
Click on Sync Movie
Check first checkbox or just the movie you want to trasfer (I prefer last for memory reasons)
Sync you iPhone

Can't sync rented movie to iPhone

I have a rented movie that is not yet expired and has not been started. I want to move it to my iPhone. The sync starts and after the entire file has been transferred (enough free space on iPhone) an error message pops up saying I cannot sync the movie because a connection to the iTunes store cannot be established. Internet connection is there, of course, and iTunes store works fine. I tried different movies but all having the same problem. Any ideas?

Can't offer any help other than to say I have the same exact problem and have read on this forum where others do as well.
The only solution seems to be to call customer support and get a credit.

Renting movies on iPhone

I tried to rent movies on my computer for my iPhone but iTunes said my computer is not authorized to make purchases on my account. What happened and how do I authorize my computer?

When your in Itunes under the "store" sub menu on the top of the screen you log / authorize your computer with logging into your account.

How to get rented movie from iphone to computer?

hello,
thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I'm trying to figure out how to get a rented movie from my phone to my computer. when I plug my phone in to sync...and go to rented movies...the movie is listed there, but is grayed out.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
steve

Sorry, but Johnathan's answer is not correct. You can easily move your rented movie from your iPhone back to your Mac.
1) Connect your iPhone to your Mac and open iTunes.
2) Click on the the icon for the iPhone.
3) Click on the tab marked Video.
You will see a list of rented movies on your Mac and another list of rented movies on your iPhone. Each movie will have an arrow marked "Move" next to it pointing to the other device.
4) Click on the arrow marked "Move" to transfer the rented movie from your iPhone back to your Mac.
5) Click the "Apply" button at the bottom right hand of your screen on iTunes. Your iPhone will then sync and the rented movie will move to your Mac.
You must be connected to the internet to make this work, as iTunes will connect to the iTunes Store to validate the transfer.

Itunes rented movies will not play and gives me an unknow error -42110 can anyone help me resolve this issue?

I have successfully used Itunes to rent movies on this computer several times in the past. This time however after paying for the rental movies and being prompted to play it I recived the following error message.
We could not complete your Itunes store request. An unknown error occured (-42110) There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later.
I have updated the itunes stoftware and attempted multiple times over the past 2 days but to no avail. Tech support gave me a link to an article with error messages but the one I have was not covered by their article.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me?
Cheers

ITunes rented movie not outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio

The problem with the downloaded movie (Real Steel HD) is
that the Dolby Digital 5.1 (English) audio is not being putput. The movie is only playing back in
"stereo" mode. When playing back on iTunes there are four audio tracks
to choose from:
1. English 1 (This plays stereo)
2. English 2 (NO SOUND) - I believe this should be the Dolby Digital track
3. French (This plays stereo)
4. Spanish (This plays stereo)
Neither of the two English tracks is outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
I have confirmed that my PC is capable of up to 7.1 surround sound and
my A/V receiver is capable of even more. I have updated both the ATI
Radeon 4500 driver and the Realtek drivers. I have tested and
confirmed that my PC is capable of outputting sound to all 5 of my
speakers and my subwoofer, HOWEVER when playing back the rented movie
in iTunes the maximum audio is stereo. I have the latest version of
iTunes installed, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I have also purchased another movie advertised as Dolby Digital 5.1
audio (The Bourne Supremecy HD) but I am afraid to begin my 24-hour
viewing period because of these audio problems being unresolved.
My question is: Are there known issues of movies purchased on iTunes
and played back on a Windows 7 PC not playing the Dolby Digital
tracks? If so, is there a fix for this via an iTunes settings change
or a Windows update patch?
From the four audio tracks that I listed above, I believe track 2 is
the Dolby Digital track, yet there is NO SOUND when that track is
selected.
Please help, as this is pretty frustrating when your movie night is ruined for the family especially after you've paid for and waited for the movie to download.

I managed to get my DD tracks working.
First had to update itunes to the latest version (10.7.0.21) to get rid of the out of sync sound problem
Then updated the realtek driver. There was an update directly in the realtek website (mine is the HD Audio): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24& Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
After all that. I tunes wasn't allowing anymore to select the Doubly Digital 5.1 tracks (an improvement).
Then went to the windows properties for the realtek optical output and checked both options to allow application exclusive access and to have priority (http://dailykermit.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/windows-7-exclusive-device-control/)
After all this, I was able to enjoy my rental

Lost rented movie from iphone....

well, as you know, date & time changes randomly is known bug. I didn't know it caused to rented movie.
anyway, I just transferred rented movie (spider man 3) last night after watching 15 chapters. it said that I had 19 hours to expire at that time. this morning, I connected with itunes for podcast. then disconnected, suddenly time & date changed. I changed to correct time & date manually. went to video section, rented movie was totally disappeared!!! now I can't get it from nowhere.
of course, I sent feedback to apple. even I talked with guys in apple store. they have nothing to help me.
if the sudden time & date change causes rented movie time expiration, it should be really really big problem. Apple must fix this thing.
what is your opinions?

Then you'll need to contact support for assistance my friend.
