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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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 ...

  • 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.

  • ITunes Rental Movies Do Not Play in Front Row on Computer

    Surely I cannot be the only person who would like to watch a rented iTunes movie on my computer using Front Row?
    My iTunes library is on an external drive and when I open and browse Front Row, everything BUT the rented movies appear in my movie list. Purchased movies are there, video podcasts are there, home movies are there, just not the rented ones. Why is that?
    I don't have an Apple TV, just a laptop an external drive and a desire to watch rented movies through an application designed to play ALL my media, not just select media.
    And I haven't seen any info on Apple's website to indicate that rentals would not work with Front Row. And I do have all the latest Apple software updates.

    Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) has access to your iTunes and iPhoto libraries without launching those applications. You're right, rented moves don't appear in Front Row and there have been a couple of Front Row updates since rented moves became available. The only thing I can think of is that the rental terms can't be enforced when the movie is played in Front Row instead of iTunes. For example, Front Row's access to your iTunes library is really read-only. You can't delete files, apply ratings or change any other settings on the files in your library through Front Row. I think the way iTunes handles rental movies, the file has to be updated with some kind of tag when you start to play it so iTunes knows how much longer you have to finish playing it. So, it's doubtful Front Row will be able to do this. I don't think Apple has ever made a statement one way or the other about this, it's just my opinion.

  • HT1657 I purchased 6 ITunes rental movies on my IPad, but I can't get them to play. Please advise ASAP

    I purchased rental movies for my vacation. I am on plane now. Went to Video Rentals on IPad. Pressed Play. Will not ply please advise ASAP!

    Try searching for the name of one of your rentals on the iPad's spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar and then re-open it and see if they play : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Videos app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Error code 5103 "Unable to Play" with rental movies! Please help!!

    I have a PC with Windows 7. iTunes 10.5.2. I purchased 2 rental movies and have downloaded them a few times now. But when I press "Play" I get the error code 5103 - Unable to Play. This has been going on for 2 weeks.
    Please help!!!!

    All it says is to download the lasted vers in iTunes which I already have.
    That's not true. It goes on to say:
    "If you have the most recent version and are still unable to download your rental, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:"
    ... and then gives links to instructions on how to do so for your particular operating system. So best to proceed with the instructions for your operating system.

  • How to watch iTunes rental movie on HDTV and keep MBP display off

    I would like to watch a movie on my flat screen TV. I rented the movie from the iTunes movie store, and I am attaching my MBP to the TV via the HDMI port on the TV and the sound cable to the RCA jacks.
    My understanding is that I have to use the F7 key to switch to mirror the display, but then I would like to make the MBP screen go black.
    I plan to try to watch using the front row feature and the MBP remote.
    Can this be done, and if so, how?
    Thanks,

    My desktop was stolen a few weeks ago and I am left with this brand new hp thing.When I put itunes on and try to watch a movie or tv show I get a loud humming and after a while I can't take it anymore I turn it all off.I had actually given up and was ready to trade my ipad,ipods,and,itunes to anyone who can give me my movies and shows so I can actually watch them.Nero will stream my songs but not video and my ps3 will not see my istuff when I plug it in. Sony has gotten to be the same thing if I go anywhere on a trip I need to take a sony phone to play playstation store movies and an ipod or ipad to watch itunes stuff.
    Is there any other way to see stuff I own? If so please tell me because it seems that I have more trouble watching stuff I own than the pirates on the internet and I would think that google is where I should be going because it will play anywhere on about anything.I hope I am just a dumb old man who doesn't know how to work this stuff and someone can tell me what I can do so I can watch my movies I paid for. any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • ITunes rental movie locks up 2min in

    Just downloaded rental from iTunes. Movie freezes 2min in. This causes video app to lock so I have to reboot pad to try again. Do I need to re-download and will apple charge me again for the same movie?
    Thanks

    Open iTunes and Check for available downloads. If the movie doesn't show up, ask customer support to make it available for you to download so you won't have to purchase it again.
    Sometimes, movie freezes because you have not completely downloaded the movie. You sometimes need to completely download the whole file before actually watching it to avoid problems like this.

  • Unable to sync itunes rental movie to iphone

    Have an iphone 3Gs....rented a movie but am unable to sync it to my phone. Movie seemed to take a long time to download to my MacBook Pro but is in my iTunes. Have not had previous problems with rental movie.

    HD content will not xfr...
    when you purchase HD content, you get both SD and HD...only the SD can be synced to iPhone...honestly I've never rented HD so I can't say if you also get an SD view...but I highly doubt it so you will most likely not be able to sync an HD rental...
