Rented a movie and it's not letting me watch it!

I rented a movie off iTunes and now I want to watch it but it says 'this content is not authorised.' What do I do?

If you rent a film on Apple TV then it can only be watched on your Apple TV. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
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.
Why it's like that I don't know

A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

I rented a movie and will not download

I rented a movie and it will not download and I cannot get help.

Wow, no one ever answered you? Did you get it resolved? I have the same problem. Only 8 minutes downloaded . What do you do?

HT1657 after renting a move and starting viewing I can not stop it and come back to in within the time frame. If i stop it it goes away not able to find it. Just like I did not rent it at all.

Did you download it using iTunes for Windows, or did you download it directly to an iOS device?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

I went to check for rentals on Apple TV to find rental. There is no support and no resolve. The screen just kept loading, never showing the movie after I purchased it. This is the second time this has happened to me. Very disappointed.
My have to look for alternative..

Hello kmb_cb_lb
If you cannot get your rental to play, then report the issue to the iTunes Store to get it resolved or refunded.

I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere in iTunes for me to watch.

I have just rented two movies and after download they are not visible anywhere for me to view. Usually in the iTunes menu there is an option call 'rentals' where rented movies sit until they expire, this is no longer visible. The movie files are listed in the finder under music/movies.... With the rest of my iTunes data, but they will not play in iTunes from there and I can't add them to my library for watching.
The only thing I am currently doing differently is that I have just subscribed to iTunes Match; would this affect my rentals?

Hi Cmcb,
Under your Library list, you should see "Movies". Click on that, and you will see a screen with several tabs at the top - Rentals, Unwatched, Movies, Genres, Home Videos, etc.
As Hackintosh indicated above, click on the Rentals tab, and your movies will be displayed there. Doulbe click on one to start playing it.
If you do not have your sidebar showing, go up to View at the top, and click on Show Sidebar. Then you will see your Library lists on the sidebar, which will include Movies.
Cheers,
GB

I had the same issue. I closed iTunes, restarted the computer and then tried again. This time it would sync. Another thing I tried was switching USB ports I was connecting through.

Rented a movie and it's not letting me watch it!
