Rented a movie on my Macbook Pro, can't watch it on AppleTV

I used a gift certificate to rent a movie on my macbook pro.  I tried watching it on my 3rd generation AppleTV and can't.  Am I doing something wrong, or has Apple turned into the Man?  Please tell me the former, or I will lose all faith in humanity.

Did you let the rental fully download before trying to watch it.

  • Can I watch a rented iTunes movie on my MacBook Pro on an airplane?

    I will be flying tomorrow and was wondering if I can watch a rented iTunes movie on my MacBook Pro on the airplane. I have read if it is set in airplane mode that I can, but I want to be sure and was also wondering, if I can, do I have to watch it through a special app besides itunes. Any help or information would be great. Thanks!

    Airplane mode?  What's that? 
    For the record, my Macbook Pro has been on many flights for the past 5 years and not once have I heard the pilot announce that everyone put all computers on airplane mode?

  • How do I rent a movie on my Macbook Pro that I have already rented  on my Apple TV?

    Hi,
    I rented a movie from the Itunes Store using Apple TV, and it's there on the TV - I have 60 days to watch it, ot 24 hours from the time I start to watch it - no problem there. But I have decided I want to watch it on my Mcbook Pro instead, at my cottage where I don't have access to the Apple TV. When I click on it on my Macbook using the Itunes store, it asks me if I want to rent or buy it - so it looks like I have to pay for it over again. Is there a way to d/l this already paid for movie for free on the other device? Or can I somehow transfer it from the Apple TV to the Macbook before watching it?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    If you rented it directly on the Apple TV then you can't transfer it off and you have it watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. 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.

  • I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how.  I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click.  Help?!!

    If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
    Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • My macbook pro can see my home wi-fi network but cannot connect to it.  My iphone and ipad are connected to my home wi-fi so the problem is not the modem.

    Wow, I tried to submit this as a problem and the computer lost the wifi connection again, so i lost the whole explanation i typed up. 
    I've turned off computer and modem multiple times.
    When I tried to run the network diagnostic, the macbook pro gave me a "perhaps you are out of range error".  I am sitting next to the modem.
    My iphone and ipad are wonderfully connected to the home wifi network, so it cannot be the modem/router, correct?
    If I am on the same floor as the router/modem then the macbook pro can see my home network but after tyoing in my password and trying to connect i get a "timed out" message.
    If I move down one floor, then the macbook can see and connect to the wifi.  I only have one modem on one floor.
    Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run to see why this particular device (macbook pro) is behaving ths way?  It just seems weird because the computer could connect to the wifi network yesterday while i was sitting next to the router. 

    SOLUTION! 
    I've been suffering from this problem for a few months.  I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea. 
    I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away.  The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router. 
    Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what?  I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes!  Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
    I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work.  Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case?  In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
    By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

  • The Imovie instaled in my MacBook Pro can't imported iMovie for iOS

    Hello,
         I've been trying to open an IMovie in my MacBook Pro that I transferred from my IPad through ITunes. However I receive the following message from the IMovie: This version of iMovie cannot import Trailers created in iMovie for iOS. I have IMovie 11 installed and it has all current updates.
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Thanks,

    Do you realize the answer to your question is on the right, under "More Like This."

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

    I can not empty my trash and my MacBook Pro can not save anything because there is no space left".No room available error."what can I do? I also have Windows 7 on  my Mac.

    If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
    Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.
