Rented movie in iPad won't play in Apple TV 2

Today I rented Unstoppable in my iPad form the iTunes Store, the idea was to use airplay to send it to my Apple TV 2 and view it on my TV.
Every time I try to use Airplay to stream the movie from my Ipad the Apple TV 2 returns the message that is not authorize to play the content from the iPad.
Anybody have any idea how to fix this?, I am using the Apple HDMI cable and both devices are login to the same Apple ID. I have restore to factoring settings my Apple TV 2 and restarted my iPad several times, I also have log out of my Apple ID and log back in in both devices.
Do not know what else to try any help would be appreciates.
Thanks on advance WFGE

False, per the link provided above:
"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."  The only way to transfer a rented movie is if you rent it from your computer, and then it can be moved around to other devices but (a) it can only exist on one device at a time, and (b) you cannot move it to Apple TV 2 or 3.  It is odd that you can't do what you want, but I'm not a lawyer ;)

i'm renting SD movies from iT so copyright issues are in the full control of AAPL on all AAPL devices
I don't know the legal agreements between Apple and movie studios, but with a rental you don't own the material so I suspect that is the difference.  With a purchase you're given some leeway that you don't have with a rental.

Your original post mentioned that purchases worked, not rentals.  Have you ever seen a rental stream from your i-device to Apple TV?  I wouldn't think so, given Apple's statement above.

All other streaming functions from iP and iPh to ATV; music, photos, and home-made video function
These would not be subject to the same copyright issues as a movie.
You can try taking this up with Apple, and depending on who you communicate with (and your approach) may determine your success to get a refund.  Apple does state that you can't stream a movie from your device to ATV, but perhaps not clearly enough (which you might use to your advantage).

  • Rented Movie on Mac won't play on Apple TV

    This is about the 4th time I have tried to play a rented movie (through iTunes on my Mac Computer) to play on my Apple TV and had problems.  The last time, after quite a bit of troubleshooting, I finally got it to work.  Not so today.  I rented another movie tonight on my Mac and am trying to get it to play on my 3rd gen. Apple Tv.  No luck.  The wheel spun for 15 minutes. I unplugged everything, I did the recommended troubleshooting, no network problems, apple sharing is one, everyine is A-OK except the movie will not play through Apple TV. 
    This rental problem is a serious bug in Apple TV and it should be fixed.  Rentals should play seamlessly and smoothly but playing doesn't work at all in some cases, and only after tons of troubleshooting in other cases.  Why is this such a problem, Apple?  I feel like asking for a refund not only for the movie but for the Apple TV.  If I didn't hate my cable company more, I'd probably do that.
    What do other people do when this happens?  I have read numerous threads on this here and none of the advice works for my situation. Maybe someone else has done the secret magic trick to get it to work.  Waiting to hear from the wizard.
    And may I respectfully add, the Apple tech speak here that is used in trying to help people with this problem is amazing.  "Istumbler and netstumbler check for interference on the network. Also check for ISP throttling"  -- let me assure you Apple help, most people have no effing idea what that means.  Whatever happened to Apple products being EASY to use?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Downloaded movie to ipad, won't play. error - url not available on this server

    Downloaded a movie on the iPad, played it once. Now get error message the "url not available on this server".  How do I fix? 

    Where did you rent them from?
    iTunes?  If so are they downloaded enough that they can be played?
    If from another App, its best to contact the App developer.

  • Rented Movies from iTunes won't transfer to Apple Tv

    Hey guys,
    I'm on a pc...I know it's a swear word hear but I'm trying so hard to talk the wife into an iMac...getting close..LOL. Anyway, I've rented a couple movies via iTunes on my pc (running vista...cough cough..hack hack!!) and can't transfer them to my apple tv. When I click on the apple tv in the device column I only get summary and photo tabs. All the software for iTunes and Apple Tv are up to date and I have also deauthorized and reauthorized my itunes libary. Can anyone offer some help to get these to my apple tv. I really don't want to watch them on my computer screen.
    Thanks
    Stephan

    Morning athos441,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The black unit is the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV.
    The 1st gen Apple TV (silver) is the one that you can move things over to the internal HD on the Apple TV.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

  • HD movies with iTunes extra won't play on Apple TV.Tried to repurchase and message states, "Already purchased, would you like to view now?" Submitted "YES" and am taken to movie's menu with iTunes extra with no tab for 'PLAY'. Menu won't work at all.

    Several movies I purchased won't play on Apple TV. They don't show up on my Apple TV menu, and if I search for them, the "Purchase HD movie" tab shows up. When I try to re-purchase, states "Already Purchased- would you like to view now". I answer "YES" and I'm taken to a screen without a "Play" tab. Other tabs such as "Extras" are frozen and don't work. Unable to see the movie or any of the iTunes extras.

    Hey there storytellerstudios,
    I see that you are having an issue with some purchased movie extras from iTunes on your Apple TV.  I would like to suggest that you use the following link to help you report an issue with these purchases to iTunes:

  • I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook

    I rented an iTunes movie, but it won't play on my MacBook. All software is updated and current.

    Hi I had this problem and tried all the usual deauthorize and the mini player fixes but they did not work for me. What worked in the end was I reset the play count on the movie (right click on the movie under the rented section of your library). I have no idea why this worked but it did.

  • HT1491 i rented movie on ipad. when i click play it says cannot open. any suggestions?

    i rented movie on ipad. when i click play it says cannot open. any suggestions?

    At this point I would contact iTunes by:
    https://getsupport.apple.com/ServiceOptionAction.action
    iTunes > iTunes store > connecting and downloading > movie rentals > chat or email with iTunes.
    They should tell you what to do or how to fix it.

  • IPad won't play sound with video? Will play music and radio apps, but not if there is a video component. Same for my iTunes movies.

    Help! My iPad won't play any audio when there is a video component to an app or game.   It will play my music and I can see the video on my movies, but not the movie sound.   Turning off and turning it on again worked as a temporary fix once, but now that is not working either.   Been going on for an week or two?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Problem with viewing a rented movie. Whem I try playing it I get a message saying my apple tv is not authorized.

    Problem with viewing a rented movie. Whem I try playing it I get a message saying my apple tv is not authorized.

    is this a rental from the Apple TV or one you have in iTunes. If from the Apple TV try restarting the Apple TV, if from iTunes, try de/re-authorising your account.
