Rented movie and can't locate it on computer

I rented movie from itunes from computer. Now can't find it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to let it fully download on the computer before it can be seen on the Apple TV.

I downloaded a rented movie and can't copy it to my Gen 1 iPad.

I receive an error when syncing that "this move cannot be played on this iPad".
Why would iTunes offer an incompatible movie? Can I still watch

Where did you look?
On ipad? It is in the videos app
On your computer? Library>Movies

I have a iPod Classic 80 gb. Can I rent movies and watch them on it?

If you are positive it's not actually a 5G iPod Video, then you should be able to.

What do you do if you rent a movie and can't watch it due to the download speed. Refund from Apple?

Two questions:
1. Is it normal to take 555 minutes to download a movie from Itunes ?
2. I have rented several and can't watch them because of a long download time. What do you do

Test your sustained internet speed at speedtest.net. See what your result is - if you have a very slow connection it's not really Apple's fault but they don't publicise the requirements that well (yes you can find them in footnotes etc but they're not in the main sections of product descriptions).
HD needs 6-8 Mbps for near instant playback. I only get 4 Mbps - it takes 40-45 mins for a film to prebuffer.
Fort SD you'll get away with slower speed of around 3 Mbps.
The problem with the AppleTV 2 is that once a download starts, doing other things with the unit unfortunately often erases the downloaded part so when you go back to see how long it'll take it starts over again.
You can try changing rentals from HD to SD in Settings for iTunes store, but tyhis will not apply to things already rented.
If your speedtest.net result is good, then it may be another issue entirely and you may want to take it up with Apple.
You can also rent some titles in iTunes and then stream them once they're downloaded which allows you to use AppleTV 2 for other things in the interim - they appear on AppleTV 2 under Computers>Your iTunes Name>Rentals. Not all things are available in iTunes though.

HT1657 I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?

What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.

I've downloaded a rented movie and transferred to mi ipod touch but can't find it on the device - where do I find it to play

Hi,
Have you tried using your iPod's Search function to find the movie? (The Search function is to the left of the home screen.)
Hope this helps!

I rented a movie and can't figure out how to play it

I rented a movie and can't figure out how to play it. It does not appear in my movies and does not have a play button on the main movie screen.

This should help. Presumably you have not tried to move your movie to some other device as it can only be on one device at a time. Also, presumably you allowed it to finish downloading.

TS3623 I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at top when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix?

I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.

I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

When will my Classic ATV be updated, so I can rent movies and use netflix?

When will my Classic ATV be updated, so I can rent movies and use netflix?

I can understand the Netflix issue due to slower processor, but I can't understand it wouldn't be featuring renting tv-shows for 99, since its essentially the same technology which is already existing in the box. Do you know if 99c renting is also exclusive to new model?

You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app.

I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app. Shouldn't it show in my movie file on iTunes or Video app on iPad?

If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app - if it hasn't completed downloading then it might still show in the iTunes app in a Downloads tab in it (Downloads only shows if there are downloads happening), the iTunes app on your iPad is just the store.
If it doesn't show in Videos then does it show via the iPad's spotlight search screen : pull down the centre of the homescreen (not from the very top of the screen, that will open Notification Centre) ?
If you rented it on your computer's iTunes then you will have to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use its Movies tab to move it over to the iPad - rentals are a one-time only download, so won't show on your iPad for redownloading.
If you can't find it on the device/computer that you rented it on then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

HT1657 What happens when you rent movies and they don't play? How come that question is not on the list?

What happens when you rent movies and they don't play and you tried getting credit for it? I rented two movies which they were very very old movies in black & white and they both don't play. I never had this problem before even when downloading videos. Now how can I get credit for it? I contact itunes a number of times and no one has done nothing as of yet. Itunes also asked me for my order number which I sent them but still no credit.

Great question MommaBof4! This is actually something that can be completed. VZW does have the option to turn this feature on or off based upon the users request. If you would like to update this feature on your device please give us a call by dialing *611 send from your VZW device, thanks!

HT1657 It keeps showing error in downloading rented movie what can i do?

It keeps showing error in downloading rented movie what can i do?

Are you getting an error message number with your error? If so, what is the number?

HT204370 If I pause a rented movie and then try to resume play, I am told that the movie has not been downloaded and to go to iTunes in the menu and download it. There is no download section showing and the search for rentals option produces nada...

When I pause a rented movie and then try and finish watching it, I am told that I have already rented this movie and it has not been downloaded. I am instructed to go to iTunes on the AppleTv menu, but there is no download section on any menu and search for rentals only gives me a continuous spinning wheel?

The time it takes to load is dependent on your network. Rentals made on ATV won't be available on any other device.
What is your current connection. Use speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try Ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

I created a movie and can't open it. It says media offline when I try to open.

I created a movie and can't open it. It says media offline when I try to open it. I have another video saved in the same place that opens just fine. What do I do to open my movie?

This is nothing to do with Adobe Reader. Please ask your question in the correct forum.
