Rental movie gone | USB/WLAN conflict?

Hi there,
I recently bought some rental movies via the iTunes store, downloading them to into my MacBook's iTunes.
Then I transferred these movies to my iPad, using the USB-iPad-sync. This worked all fine.
Some very few days later, I configured my iPad to be synced via WLAN, and did so. After WLAN syncing, the movies were gone without any trace.
I bought them again (and was charged again), and transferred them to the iPad once again. All seemed to be fine.
When I synced the iPad via cable again now, the movies were gone again.
Obviously there seem to be some conflict trouble when syncing the iPad sometimes via WLAN, sometimes via USB, which causes rental movies to vanish into nothing. This would only be a minor problem, if you could just simply download them again (expecting the iTunes store of course automatically to know that you bought them just recently and hadn't yet started watching them). But instead, you are being carged once more for each try.
Any idea how to handle this?

I sent said router back to amazon for a refund and got a Medion router modem which works fine instead.

  • Where has my rental movie gone

    Hi
    I rented a movie and it hasn't showed up on my Toshiba laptop. I have rented lots of movies but this is the first time one hasn't shown up on my computer. Can anyone help me find it or find out where it has gone.
    Thanks

    This is a common misperception of how FCP works, you have confused project files with output files and you have found the autosave vault and confused it with your regular project storage location.

  • Rental movie on iPad

    I have rented movie to go on my iPad - I sink my iPad with main computer and the rentals movie are gone on iPad and main computer that I rent them on. Where are they going? and how do I get them back on?   because I have never watched them yet  and have a good 22 or so day left before they expire. Is it my setting on computer or iPad? and I also have all the update on my iPad that are out at this point.

    See my reply to your other post : Re: I cannot find my downloaded rental on my computer.

  • Remove expired rental movies on iPad

    I cannot remove old (over 1 year) expired movies from my iPad.  The only place you can see them is in the drop down when the ipad is synced to itunes. They are greyed out.  if you click on the down arrow on a movie it takes you to ITunes store to purchase or rent again.  You cannot see them on the ipad through the Vidoe app/movies and they do not show on the tabs that you use to choose what you want to sync.  This is just bothersome becasue i like to keep the ipad clean.  Here is a screen shot  - might be helpful.  I updated to IOS 5.0.1 but I am sure that is not the problem. I have already tried a hard reboot without luck.

    i have the exact same issue. 
    set up is =>  ipad 2, ios5.01, itunes 10.5, osx 10.7.2.
    six old rental movies show up on the ipad's drop down menu.  all are greyed out.  the only way to delete them is to check, in the summary page, the "manually manage music and videos" option.  once i do that i can delete the six old rental movies.  alas, the next time the ipad is connected to itunes, the movies show up again.  i tried to restore original settings for the ipad several times and that did not work.  i restored from backup, that did not work.
    i should add that the rental movies do not show up on the ipad when launching the video app.  the only place they show up is on that drop down menu as described above.  to add insult to injury, i think the ipad is still trying to "download" the movies which is why now, and since i upgraded to ios 5, i can never complete the sync process (whether through the usb port or through wifi).  the sync process will always hang eternally at step 5 or 6 with the message "waiting for items to copy".
    i think this is an ios 5 bug.  i have seen other discussions here that point to the same error, but with different causes such as voice memos, photos...   i believe old rentals fall in the same category.  although other users have found solutions to the hang sync by making changes to settings for voice memos, photos... unfortunately i have not found anyway of getting rid of the old rental movies as of yet.
    any help out there?

  • Updated to iOS5 on my ipad 2, Rental movies wiped.

    As I think I selected use as new Ipad everything was wiped when I updated my Ipad, apart from being slighly bummed that I didn't back up everything before hand. My question is I had downloaded rental movies only to my ipad and now they are gone. So if I download them again from itunes will I be charged twice? Is there a why for me to get them back automatically? Thanks

    If you re-download them then yes, you will be charged again. All films (rental or purchases) can currently only be downloaded once from the store, and if you rent and download a film directly on the iPad you also can't copy it to your computer - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    So in future it is probably best to rent them on your computer and then sync them to the device that you want to watch them on

  • Rental movies disappear

    Version:1.0StartHTML:0000000149EndHTML:0000002904StartFragment:0000000199EndFrag ment:0000002870StartSelection:0000000199EndSelection:0000002870I just synced my phone again and BAM! Three of my rented movies just got wiped out AGAIN! (This is the second time since Apple restored the purchases for me)
    And I never once tried to play them.
    What is going on? I can’t seem to trust iTunes or my phone to hold onto rentals at all...
    Cowboys and Aliens...gone.
    Cedar Rapids...gone.
    Super 8...gone..again.
    Yet “Brainstorm” remains on my iPhone. It too is a rental but it never left ...yet.
    And so I took a look back in my accounts to see what movies I haven’t watched:
    The Wedding Crashers...gone.
    The Women...gone.
    Thor...gone.
    Yikes! I forgot I even rented those.
    Here’s two rental movies I gave up on entirely after they self-deleted, Apple restored the purchase and they deleted again:
    Horrible Bosses...gone....restored by Apple ....gone again...
    Your Highness...gone....restored by Apple ....gone again...
    I’m afraid that I just can’t trust my iTunes not to delete the movies. So I can’t rent from the iTunes store.
    I’m better off renting the movies at my local store and then ripping them to my phone. Not ideal but it gives me two advantages - a cheap rental and I can watch the movie over a longer period of time (often I get about 20mins a day to chip away at a movie so 2 days doesn't work well for me and seems a pretty silly time limit given I don't have to 'return' a physical disc)
    It’s not like I don’t know how to use my phone.
    I read every Mac article, magazine, and website devoted to Mac and iOS products there is.
    People bug ME all the time to fix their iPhone, iPod or Mac.
    This is very frustrating.

    I have had the same problem crop up multiple times in the past two months including most recently watching the same thing happen on my daughter's iTouch.  My best guess is a loss of at least 4 rentals for me.  She rented 3 movies yesterday (12/26) and I literally watched as 2 of 3 movies just evaporated from her rental que without a trace on both iTunes and her iTouch during the sync process this morning (12/27). The movies were there, not watched and just disappeared. 
    I called Apple support when the problem first happened to me around the end of November.  Apple support could not find the problem, had no solution other than suggesting contacting iTunes for a refund.  iTunes support was good with providing follow-up in 48 hours and credit for the movies that disappeared.  However, the movies continue to disappear for no apparent reason.
    The desire is to have a solution that allows the device to function as intended when watching rented movies on the iTouch. 

  • Why can i not view my rental movie in the ipad video app

    hello everyone
    Hopefully someone can help as I'm getting a tad frustrated I have been for the last 2.5hrs trying to get a rental movie I have downloaded on to my computer to sync with my Ipad2 and its simply wont do it what could be wrong?
    I have so far
    restarted both computer and rebooted ipad.
    both softwares are up to date on ipad and on PC
    I have checked the restrictions and there doesnt appear to be any that I can see in the menu although saying that the movie selection can not even be highlighted in that menu.
    I have checked in the about and although itunes syncs the movie and it shows up in the bar below as the movie taking up space..in the about in the general part of settings it refreshed but still states 0 so itunes on the PC says its on the ipad but the ipad is saying it is not on the ipad....
    I'm going away on holiday next week and I was hoping to take a few rentals with me....I downloaded this one to test it out and see how well it worked so far its been frustraingly useless....im glad I never downloaded 30bux worth of movies.
    I have been searching and searching the net...I have come across one other person that appears to be having the same drama as me. however he is on here on apple support but no body has replied to him and he posted 3 months ago...so I hope someone can help me

    Is there anyone out there that might know whats wrong!!!!
    Surely someone must be able to help

  • Where would any downloaded rental movies be downloaded to on my iPad? Just spent over $40 in data top ups and nearly two days trying to a. Download a purchased movie and b. find the movie on my iPad.

    I bought this iPad (think it is an iPad 2 not actually sure, a about a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to go on iTunes store and purchase a rental movie which cost approx $6 NZD. After about 2 hours I ran out of data and the movie hadn't even downloaded halfway so I purchased more data thinking another Gb would do. Then i got a message from itunes that my ipad didnt have enough storage so i went into settings and dleeted apps and docs (apparently also deleted from icloud too) to make room for the movie. Now after purchasing another 7GB of data at over three times the cost of the rented movie it finally finished downloading and I had enough space on my iPad. But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it? Why have I just wastednearlyb$50 just tying to download and watch one measly movie! It is obviously some secret formula or thing I've missed...it shouldn't be so hard! The day before this I successfully downloaded a song I purchased and can listen to with no probs.  do I need another app to store downloaded movies or something?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

    I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
    I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
    Natalie

    I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

  • HT1551 I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I ordered a rental movie on my computer and want to watch it on my 1st generation apple TV and it is not showing up there...any suggestions?

    I had same problem last night with a movie rental not showing up under the 'Rented' tab in iTunes/Movies on my iMac: as I had no other rentals, there was no 'Rented' tab at all.
    In iTunes 11, the Downloads icon only appears next to the Search bar while there is an active download. Once any  downloads are finished, the icon disappears.  I had no icon so I had to assume the downloading had finished (in the previous UI you could check download progress even after they had finished).
    My movie rental did, however, show up under 'Rented Movies' under the 'Movies' tab in iTunes/Devices/(select any i/device) so I knew it was somewhere in my iTunes.  Yet, we couldn't access it via Apple TV.
    I fiddle around for a bit, restarting iTunes, restarting the iMac, to no avail.  Then I did a little housekeeping and moved a different movie I'd imported awhile ago, from the 'Home Videos' tab under iTunes/Movies.  Under File/Get Info, the 'Media Kind' was incorrectly set to 'Home Video' so I changed it to 'Movie'.  Thus the file was moved over into the Movies tab.  Hey Presto!  The Rented tab suddenly showed up, and there was my rented movie!
    This is the second time a movie rental did not show up after downloading.  Unfortunately my husband initiated the download so we figured he must've messed up somehow as he's not as familiar with iTunes as me.  Hence we opted to download the movie under a different iTunes account, which worked the second time with no problem.  Needless to say the invoice for the original download had no problem in finding us, hence we were effectively being charged twice for the same movie!  We have to contact apple support (such a hassle) but hopefully they will understand the issue (that's the difficult bit) and they are usually good at refunding when they finally accept the customer is genuine in their claim.
    In case anyone is tempted to critique my method, we download rentals through iTune on our computer as we had too many problems trying to rent via Apple TV.  Often the movie was not available to watch for many hours after it was rented, even though we'd start 'download' halfway through the day and sit down at night to watch it!  We have also had problems with movies that kept stopping during viewing because it wasn't streaming fast enough.  We'd give some time and come back to viewing, only to encounter the same.  One time we gave gave up and tried again the next evening, only to find the movie expired.  There is meant to be 48 hours after you've started viewing to resume watching a movie.  Apple's only response to this was to advise we needed a broadband internet connection to stream the movie - this was despite me already telling them we have broadband.
    Anyway, I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with movie downloads.

  • Can family members share rental movies?

    Hi!
    I wonder if family members (using the Family Sharing feature) can watch rental movies. When I search the internet, I have found info that says one can do so. But it does not work.
    My husband and I have set up Family Sharing (and the credit card that pays for it all, is mine), bit it is not possible for me to see the movie he have rented. I can see all his music and visa versa, but not the rental movies.
    I find this strange, and not in line with the intention Apple has proclaimed regarding Family Sharing. I pay for the fun, but am not able to watch???
    Or is it suppose to work, but does not because of a bug?

    Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

  • Rental movie continues to download when iTunes is opened on desktop

    Hi,
    I rented a HD movie on iTunes using my desktop PC.  When the movie finished downloading to my desktop I plugged in my iPhone to the desktop and began to transfer the movie to my iPhone (I have done this several times in the past without issue).  However, while transferring the movie to my iPhone the movie again began to download in ITunes on my desktop - I stopped the download and deleted the movie in ITunes.  The movie remained on my iPhone and I was able to watch it without issue.
    Now, however, each time I open iTunes on my desktop the rental movie begins to download again.  I've stopped the download and deleted the movie, only to have it begin downloading again as soon as I open iTunes the next time.  I also tried to let it finish downloading and then delete the movie but I got an error message.  It has been over 24 hours since I watched the movie on my iPhone but yet it continues to download the moment I open iTunes on my desktop.
    How can I prevent this movie from continuing to download in iTunes?
    Thank you

    This is actually good news.
    I'd rather 1st Publish an AIR 2.5 Desktop Application for: (a) Windows, (b) Linux Ubuntu, (c) Mac OS X
    Is there a version of WIndows which is required: Vista and Later?
    Is there a version of Mac OS X that is requires Leopard?  or Now Leopard?
    I work with Ubuntu so I'm assuming this is a good way to test.
