Question about getting rented movie from Macbook to Tv

I rented a movie on my MB yesterday while on the road, today I decided to watch the end of the movie on my tv at home.
TV:
setting>computer>add shared itunes Lib>Entered the code on my MB
My MB itunes is showing on TV but can't find the rented movie??/
Clicked on TV in itunes, I get only 2 tabs, Summary and Photos. Under Summary I am missing Automatic Sync or Custom Sync and no Rented Movie frame. No option to choose what movie, music, podcast etc.. I want to sync . Looks completely different that what I obtain on my G5????
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yep - only one at a time. You can stream from more than one though. I have a primary Library that I use for syncing (I only sync photos and all the other content shows up automatically under "My Music, My Movies etc").

  • How do I get rented movies from MacBook to appear on Apple TV?

    I can buy movies and they appear fine, but when I rent a movie on MacBook for play on Apple TV, nothing appears in Apple TV under Movies. (And I've updated the firmware on Apple TV).
    Any guidance?

    You may well be right, the opening paragraph seems to support you in the sense that you can watch them on the tv, but the whole issue of transferring it to the tv is a little vague.
    In essence it may well be that simply watching the movie via streaming is what most people will want to do anyway, if that is indeed how it works.
    If transferring is allowed then I assume this would be a straight transfer and not a sync, since only one device can have the movie at a time.
    In my situation my goal would be to rent from the mac and stream it to my tv's since I have more than one of them. If however I have to transfer it to watch it, this then causes a problem. If we assume for the time being that movies can be transferred to the tv but not the other way around, I have no way to move the movie back from tv #1 to itunes to send it to tv #2.
    I'm now less certain than I was but I'm still inclined to think that we won't be able to transfer rented content from itunes to the tv, but I have to wonder if this will really be an issue for most of us.

  • 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.

  • How to get rented movie from PC to iPad

    I had a problem with a rented movie.....when I go to it on my iPad it won't let me play it then when I go to the little cloud underneath the play button it tells me to that the movie is rented but not downloaded.....where do I go on my iPad to manage downloads?  Then it downloaded on my computer and now I can't get it over to my iPad
    Please help

    Unfortunately, rented movies cannot be transferred from the device onto which they were downloaded.
    If you wish to watch it on your iPad, I would recommend using the "Report a Problem" link on your iTunes Store invoice. Apple will then, hopefully, make the rental available to you again for download within a day or two. It is worth making sure that you have sufficient storage space available on your iPad for the movie, and note that you will need a WiFi connection to download it.
    Sorry I don't have more positive news for you!

  • Can't move rented movie from macbook pro to apple tv (1st gen)

    any advice? i rented two movies (non HD as far as i can tell) from my macbook and can't seem to get it over to my 1st gen apple tv. ive tried dragging and dropping, no luck.
    thanks

    You don't sync or drag and drop rentals to the tv, you need to move them.
    Transferring rentals will look something like this

  • Question about Imported AVI movies from Digital Cameras

    Hi
    I use a Canon "Ixus" series digital camera., the video clips on this camera are AVI (Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions).,
    My problem is saving edits i do to these video clips in the in the same original format when opening them in QT, unlike photos Qt makes you save AS instead of saving modifications to the original file.
    Again, if Qt does not allow you to save the edits to the clip itself but rather asks you what you want to save it as, and i can not find the same exact QT which is "AVI" (Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions)., then what is the correct format to avoid any loss in quality?
    Can anyone advise?

    i just have to rotate these clips, they where shot sideways.
    I understand - however, video is a horizontal format; when you rotate your file 90 degrees either the 640 vertical dimension must shrink to 480 pixels which will leave black borders on each side of the image or you expand the 480 horizontal dimension of your clip to 640 pixels and you crop of the top and bottom of your image.
    Here is how to do it: How can I rotate rectangular pixel DV material 90° while maintaining the correct aspect ratio and interlacing? at http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#vert-horizrotate
    Good luck.

  • 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:

  • How can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay, how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay

    how can I get an itunes movie from macbook to apple tv via airplay?

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

    I got the same error and can't get it to work.  My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes.  I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
    This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

  • Rented Movies from ATV to MacBook iTunes

    How do I transfer rented movies from my ATV to my computer?

    Pretty sure this can't be done. I think you can only sync purchased content from Apple TV back to a computer. When you rent a movie, Apple TV tells you that the movie can only be viewed on Apple TV.

  • Can I transfer rented movies from one computer to another?

    I am posting this message as every time I try to transfer rented movies from my PowerBook to my iPod get the following message.
    Attempting to copy to the disk "Michael Graham's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    I have gotten this message with an iPod Classic, as well as an iPod Touch, so don't think it is the iPod, but can not be sure of that. Also have posted a message about this in past, but none of the suggestions seemed to help. In addition Apple seems to be no help. In any event if I use my dad's Mac Mini to transfer the rented movie I do not get this message. In any event I just wonder if their is any way to transfer rented movies from one my laptop to his desktop, so I then came transfer to my iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance
    Michael
