Rented movie on itunes

so i rented a movie on itunes and want to move it over to my apple tv. i clicked on my apple tv under the device section of itunes, moved over the rented move and clicked accept. it attempted to sync for about 5-10 seconds and the movie moved back to the itunes hard drive on my macbook. i can not move the rented movie from my macbook to the apple tv.
any ideas on how to move it over to the apple tv??
thanks

Make sure your itunes and quicktime are updated.
Also, I'm pretty sure you need to be connected to the internet to be able to play a rental.
If you're still having issues...try emailing into itunes support. They usually have good advise on how to fix something like that and they'll usually let you redownload the rental if it dissapered on you.

  • Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

    can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • Transfer a rented movie in iTunes to my AppleTV

    I have a rented movie in iTunes. When Apple TV is highlighted under Devices and I click on Movies at the top, I get a place when I can move the movie to the right into the To Apple TV box.  When I click on "Apply" in the lower right corner, however, I get an error message that I am not authorized on Apple TV.
    How do I become authorized on

    I use a program called FotoMagico to create .m4v files of the photos I take on trips and scans of 35 mm slides that I have taken over the years. After the files have been encoded they are downloaded to iTunes and synced to my Apple TV.
    I also post the trip pictures on the Internet using the Host Excellence server.  If you are interested, this is the trip Home Page:

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • Can't play a rent movie by itunes on AppleTV.

    I rent movies from itunes and everthing works on my iphone. I can watch the movie without problem. When I try to stream it from the iphone 4 to my appletv 2 by airplay - the movie appears for 3 seconds in the apple-tv-menue, but then it disapperas suddenly and I can't watch it. I have the newest software update.
    I have the same problem also with bought movies - sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    Help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • 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?

    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.

    Settings - iTunes - check for rental
    Once you press play you have 24/48hrs (depending on region) to view. Accessing other content or turning the device off will flush the movie, and it will need to reload

  • Trouble renting movie from itunes

    Has anybody ever received a message when renting movies from iTunes directly on to Apple TV, 2nd G, Error-unable to download content, try again later.  I have not rented anything in a while and I do not seem to be able to move past this point in the rental process.  The movie is behaving like it has been rented, as it is showing I have 29 days to view.  Upon pressing play, it starts showing the loading, and then instead of starting to play the movie or provide an estiamte of how long until it can be played, it goes to the error message above.

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I did pull all cables and reboot the router.  Some additional information I found as I tried other aspects of Apple TV.  Via iTunes I could download and watch theater trailers.  On You Tube I could watch Selected content.  However, when I tried a You Tube Search, for a topic, I receieved yet another strange message indicating a connection issue.  However, mutliple tasks on the menu do connect to the internet and work fine.  I have rebooted the Apple TV several times.  It almost seems if the software of firmware is corrupted.  Does anybody have any additonal thoughts or similar experiences.

  • HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

    cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

    Yes that's perfectly possible.
    The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
    The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.
