Moving rented movies from appletv to itunes

How do I move a rented movie on appletv to itunes. I know you can do it the other way around. But this time i rented the movie straight from my apple tv and dont see how to move it to my computer. Ultimately I want to move it to my iphone. But want to move it to itunes on my computer first.
Any ideas???

How do I move a rented movie on appletv to itunes.
You can't. A rental done on an Apple TV can't be played anywhere else.

  • Moving rented movies from Apple TV

    I'm having a problem moving rented movies back from my ATV to my iMac.
    The scenario is I rent a movie in iTunes on the Mac, move it to the ATV, and after watching it I then try to move them back to the Mac before the rental expires. It won't transfer back even though I'm connected to the Internet.
    The "move" option exists in iTunes (I can select either "move" or "delete") in the ATV box. If I select "move" the movie graphic moves over to the Rented Movies field. The problem is that after I click on Sync the movie flips back to the ATV box as soon as it completes syncing so it doesn't become available to watch on the Mac.
    I've tried this on several occasions and with different movies. No luck. It looks like it should work but never has successfully transferred back. The iTunes & ATV software are all up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Yes. The movie rentals originate in iTunes on the Mac.
    Perhaps it's easier to understand my situation. We have a number of young adults in the house. They often want to watch the same movies we rent if we tell them if it's worthwhile. The ATV is in our bedroom and my wife & I don't fancy having a half-dozen twenty-somethings piling on the bed to watch a rented movie. The Mac is in my home office. I would like to transfer movies back to it where they can watch or even transfer movies to an iPod & plug into a dock connected to the TV in our family room. I can't get the movie to transfer back (even though it originated on the Mac).
    Normally any rented movies are in the ATV field (in my case called "Dad's Apple TV") and there's "move" & "delete" buttons. What I have been doing is to click on Move and then Sync. The movie icon does initially move to the Rented Movies field but it pops back the ATV field just as it finishes syncing.
    Now an interesting thing has turned up this morning. We had rented a movie ("Date Night"...thumbs down) last Friday, watched it last night (Monday), and went to iTunes this morning to try once again to transfer it back to our Mac. This time the movie does not show up in the "Dad's Apple TV" field in iTunes even though it's been less than 24 hours since we first started watching it. The only thing that may be different is we fell asleep watching the movie and woke up hours later with the screen saver on. I can't say we've ever left a movie running through the credits to the very end before now.

  • Moving Rented movies from computer to ipod

    I need some help. I have a one year old ipod classic.
    I cannot seem to move rented movies from my computer to my ipod.
    When I plug my ipod to my computer and hit the movie tap, I do not see the movie.
    The move is showing on my computer, but it does not give me a choice to move it to my ipod, like I have seen on other help sites.
    Do I need to turn something on my ipod?
    I have loaded TV shows to the ipod and watched them, but I cannot move the rented movies.
    I checked to see if I have the updated software, and I do.
    Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The iPod you have (incidentally, the same one I have) can essentially watch TV shows, Movies, and Music Videos, but no rental movies. I was met with the same disappointment when I discovered I cannot put rented movies onto my iPod. It is sort of a shame, as I'm not entirely convinced there's a hardware element missing from my iPod preventing this from being supported.
    Sorry I didn't have better news for you. You might want to consider emailing iTunes Store support and seeing if there's some way they can compensate for this, as the file purchased is not compatible with your device. Since the files are set to disappear after a certain amount of time within beginning playback, I'm almost sure they'd be able to determine whether you've viewed the movie yet.

  • Problem moving rented movie from laptop to iPad

    When I go to move a rented movie from my macbook pro to iPad nothing happens and there is no dialogue box. Purchased movies sync fine. This is a new macbook pro so perhaps the new OS is having a compatibility issue with the iPad? Any ideas?

    Did you click "Apply" on bottom right? See second picture.

  • Unable to move rented movies from iPhone4 to iTunes

    Hello,
    I am looking for some advice. I rented a movie on my iPhone4. I have not watched this movie yet.
    I'd like to move the movie from my iPhone to AppleTV.
    When I sync my iPhone, the rented movies do not appear in the movies tab within iTunes.
    Sync movies is checked and the capacity bar at the bottom of the screen says I have 2 videos. I was exoecting the movies on my phone to be listed in the movies tab.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    On iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, you can transfer rented movies between iPhone and your computer. On iPhone 4, you can transfer rented movies between iPhone and your computer only if they were rented in iTunes on your computer. Movies rented on iPhone 4 cannot be transferred to a computer.
    You don't list what version of the iPhone you have.

  • Can't move rented movies from iTunes to AppleTV

    I have a rented movie queue in my iTunes library and would like to watch it on my AppleTV. Can't seem to figure out how to move it? Running iTunes under Windows XP. Thanks.

    For now, this is correct. There will be an update to the Apple TV within the next week which will allow it to play rented content as well as rent it natively.

  • I am getting the following error during the play of a rented movie from my MacBook that i am trying to watch on AppleTV Could not play the rental "A Thousand Words" because it is authorized to play on another computer or device." any ideas?

    Rentals can only play on one device/computer at a time.  Have you tried to play on the computer and still have that window open?
    Have you transferred the rental to iPod/iPhone or iPad to watch?
    If it won't play anywhere contact iTunes support at:

  • Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • How do I view a movie I rented and downloaded to my computer on my apple TV. The ATV is not seeing the rented movie in my shared itunes library? I can't seem to transfer the rental to the ATV from the computer!

    Dear friends,
    Thank you for responding to my problem so promptly. Frankly, I did not expect to hear from people so soon! The fact is that as soon as I posted the question, I was shown a number of similar queries and managed to find the answer. I have to say it's not intuitive! I have an apple TV original version. Apparently I had the ATV on streaming and not syncing. Streaming does not allow you to stream a rental from your computer whereas you can sync and transfer the rental from the computer!
    Thanks again.

  • 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.

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • If I purchase a movie from AppleTV can I download to iTunes?

    If I purchase a movie from AppleTV can I download to iTunes?

    Thanks... that was my thinking.  When I go to iTunes on Mac there is no "Purchased" section for Movies... there is one for Music and TV Shows... and in iTunes on iPad there is a section there as well for Purchased Movies... so how can you get to Purchased Movies in iTunes.. only option is to buy... if I press buy will it tell me I already bought it and let me download it?  don't want to get charged twice for the same movie.
