Playing iTunes rental movie on Macbook air

Hi there
I have downloaded an iTunes rental movie on my windows desktop.  Can I access it on my Macbook Air??
Thanks
Megs

Mine handles iTunes videos ok. Be aware that when you buy the HD version you also get the SD version. The combination is normally 5 gigs or better. If you're going to view the movie on the MBair, SD is probably good enough weighing in at slightly over a gig.
Regards

  • Playing itunes rental movies

    when I try to play a movie that was downloaded to a computer, that I have given away, on my new computer, it says this movie has been authorized to play on another computer and cannot be played on this ( my new ) computer, Is there anyway I can play the movie that I rented and downloaded on my new computer, The rental period has not expired. thank you joanlvh

    Can't do it.
    You can only move it from the computer you rented it on to an iPhone, touch, iPod or Apple TV.
    To do this, you need to be connected the internet and sync it using iTunes. Simply copying it over will not update iTunes DRM to allow it to play on the other device.

  • I was going to buy some HD movies on iTunes, will they play in HD on my Macbook Air

    I was going to buy some HD movies on Itunes, will they play in HD on my MacBook Air?

    Depends on your screen resolution. System Preferences/ Display you will see the different screen support resolutions. Does it support 1980x1080? That is what HD resolution is. That being said on a screen as small as a MacBook Air you won't see any difference and if you are connecting to a monitor the display output is:
    Pure digital video output
    DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
    Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    HDMI output using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (sold separately)
    NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory3
    Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors

  • I want to have my iTunes play lists and play counts on my new MacBook Air

    I want to have my iTunes play lists and play counts on my new MacBook Air transferred over from my old (4 years and dying) MacBook Air.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder including the iTunes library file from your old Mac to the same Music folder on your new Mac. Then down the Option key while launching iTunes and select the copied iTunes folder. That should get you all your  playlists, playcounts etc.; those are stored in that iTunes library file.
    Regards.

  • Itunes rental movie won't play on apple tv

    I'm trying to play an itunes rental movie via itunes on my Windows 8 computer through Apple TV.
    Upon trying to play the movie the computer says "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV".  An unknown error occurred (-41049)."
    The TV says "This movie is already being viewed on another Apple TV or computer...."
    The movie is NOT playing anywhere else.
    Any advice on how to fix this?

    My rental stopped about 10 minutes ago and I can't restart it.  Actually, I was just prompted to update Apple TV ... guess they rolled out an update that caused the issue?  Find out here soon ...

  • What is battery life playing DVD's on 13" macbook Air?

    What is battery life playing DVD's on 13" macbook Air?

    Trick question.  The MBair doesn't have a DVD drive so depends on how much power your external drive draws.
    If you're playing movies in iTunes then it lasts longer.  Also depends on which model (year) MBair.  Here's Apple's statement on the current (2011) line.
    "Since space-saving flash storage leaves room for a bigger battery, you can devote more time to the things you enjoy most. Things like browsing the web, editing photos, and watching videos. Get up to 5 hours of battery life on a single charge on the 11-inch model and up to 7 hours on the 13-inch model. Put MacBook Air to sleep, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days.3 When you come back to your MacBook Air and open it up, it’s on in an instant."

  • How do i download movie from macbook air directly to icloud?

    how do i download movie from macbook air directly to icloud?

    You want to download (I assume you meant upload) it to iCloud?  If that's what you mean, you can't.  iCloud will already have movies purchased from the iTunes store, which can be redownloaded (depending on your location) from your purchased list.  Movies from other sources cannot be stored in iCloud, except digital copies or purchased DVDs that are compatible with iTunes.

  • Can't access iTunes store on new Macbook air

    Hi - I just bought a Macbook air and I've synced my phone to it, but when I try to open the iTunes store, all I get is a blank screen.  What do I need to do?
    Thanks!

    It has happened a few times since I changed some account information (billing address and phone number) a couple of days ago.
    Every time I purchased a song or an album via Music app on my iPod touch, I couldn't access App Store or iTunes Store on my MacBook Air or iPod. Then I went to bed and got up the next day, finding out everything back to normal.
    Since it happened several times and I lost all my access to both App Store and iTunes Store on both my devices every time, I think the problem may be related to my Apple ID. It's really strange.

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)

    Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Photoshop Elements
    Adobe ID, Signing In
    Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
    Chat Panel
    If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
    Before the above consider....
    a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
    question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
    Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
    Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
    c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

  • Downloaded a itunes rental movie, but Apple TV says it is not authorized to show it

    I downloaded a itunes rental movie on ipad, but we wanted to view it on Apple TV.  However, it said that it was not authorized to show it even though we could see it on the ipad.   The funny is that we viewed another rental movie a week ago.  We tried to view rental movie and both times, it said that Apple TV was authorized to show these movies.  These moves were PG or 14A.
    Any ideas or thoughts?

    Hi,
    Delete track from your library and go to iTunes Store, select purchases under quicklinks and redownload track again.
