Rented a movie in iTunes on iPod, but under downloads..

Rented a movie in iTunes on iPod, but under downloads it just kept saying waiting. Is it downloading?!!

Sorry, what I was attempting to clarify was this:
You can rent the movie on your desktop but in order to watch it on your ATV you will have to turn on Home Sharing and download the movie to your desktop, only then will the rented movie appear on your ATV under Home Sharing.
Either this is a flaw in the software or part of a copyright arrangement. If you purchase a movie, then it will appear under Movies > Purchased on the ATV, for some reason rentals do not. If this is software related then it should be fixed at some point. Although the original thread is from over a year ago, the problem persists. Renting on the ATV directly is not optimal since the file is not transferable to any other device, presumably b/c there is no file? But that shouldn't matter. All that should matter is: this Apple ID purchased this item > it should be available on all devices associated w/that Apple ID.

  • Rented a Movie in iTunes on iMac, but want to watch it with AppleTV

    I rented a movie in iTunes on my iMac. But now, I would like to watch this movie with my AppleTV (newest generation).
    Following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 this should be possible:
    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.
    But what are the steps to get in running on my AppleTV?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Adrian

  • I rented a movie on iTunes and it won't download

    I logged into my iTunes account after
    I have already put my information in for
    a gift card, I rented a movie, and it will not
    download. An error report keeps saying
    "download error. Try again.". And I keeps getting
    a message saying I don't have enough space
    download the movie, even after I deleted most of
    my apps an I have 2.6 GB available and used 3.8.
    Any suggestions?

    Are you sure you don't have a 5G iPod video?  If so, rented movies are not compatible with that particular generation/model of iPod.
    Otherwise, it sounds like the rental is in HD.  It should have came with a Standard Definition version instead.

  • HT1933 Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

    Hello Amy,
    You can but the method varies depending on the Apple TV that you have.
    From the article How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390:
    To rent movies from the iTunes Store on your computer
    In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.
    In the iTunes Store, find a movie you want to rent.
    Click Rent. Your rental should begin to download immediately.
    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
    If you have Apple TV 2nd gen. or later you can use Airplay to play it on your tv through the Apple TV.
    Here is the article to help get that setup and going.

  • I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

    I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

    Hi Refvoxa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to play or download a movie rental on your iPad, first restart your device:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    After your iPad restarts, try resuming the download again:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.

  • I have rented a movie in ITunes, however it does not show up in the movies on my ATV, but purchased movies do. What's up?

    I have rented a movie through ITUNES, but it does not show up on my ATV movies menu as they have in the past in a category called rentals.  In fact that category isn't shown.  My purchased movies are showing up.  What's up?

    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

    I rented a movie via Itunes on  my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

    Did you figure this out?  I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent.  Same fricken thing is happening to me.  I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it?  This just really stinks.

    I  rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device.  I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked.  I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.
