Rented movie will not transfer back to my computer

I've just rented my first iTunes rental movie. It all worked seamlessly transferring the movie to my iPhone and watching it on my TV, but now I want to transfer back to my MacBook. I've still got about 24 hours left before the movie expires.
Trouble is when I try to transfer the movie back to my computer using iTunes, I get a message "! You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. ... Check the permissions on your Music folder and folders in your Music folder, then try copying again."
I've done all of this - absolutely every folder has "Read and Write" access and still I can't transfer.
Any ideas?

Is your Macbook connected to the internet? You must be connected to the internet to transfer rented movies.

  • Rented movies will not transfer to ipad3

    I cannot transfer rented iTunes movie to ipad3.  rented two kovies - one transfers but will not open; other gets warning msage that computer is not authorized, even though I have authorized.  thank you

    I had a very similar problem. I had rented movies (more than one) and none would transfer to an iPhone. The movie or movies would appear to completely transfer, then I would get a message saying that the transfer had failed because "the movies had already been transferred to a different device". That wasn't true, and it's kind of ridiculous since once you transfer a rented movie to an iPod or iPhone it disappears from iTunes on the computer, ie it's not available to try to transfer a second time.
    HOWEVER, I think I FOUND THE PROBLEM. You say you were connected to the internet and your account was authorised in the iTunes store. BUT, was your COMPUTER authorised? It appears to be possible to authorise to your iTunes Music Store account from a computer than is not currently authorised. That was probably my problem. We'd swapped out a laptop a couple days ago, and had to "deauthorise all" the computers on our account. I had not yet reauthorised my desktop computer, and that's where the rented movies were sitting. As soon as I did authorise that computer the rental transfers proceeded normally.
    There's a bug or flaw in iTunes, though, because when the transfer fails iTunes shows that totally bogus :already transferred" error and provides no clue that the computer is not authorised and that that is the actual problem.

  • IBook repaired, songs bought through iTunes will not transfer back to iPod

    i found the way to get my songs from my iPod to my computer, but now all of the songs i bought through iTunes will not go back to my iPod. error message is "some of the songs, including "so-and-so" (actually it's Alice Cooper's Feed my Frankenstein :)HA!) were not moved to the iPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." the problem is, this is the same computer, it's just been wiped by Apple and i reinstalled everything. i see in one of these forums that you can apparently double click on the song to get it to transfer back, but i have about 3000 songs, so it's hard to tell what i bought from iTunes from what i had already. can anyone help me do this in one foul swoop? THANKS!

    thanks. will try that when i get home.

  • HT203180 Apple/ITunes, needs to let people know BEFOREhand that HD movies WILL NOT transfer to iPods.  Purchase ONLY SD, NOT HD if you want to transfer them!  What a pain to find this out AFTER purchasing 11 movies in HD!

    Itunes movies in HD will NOT transfer to IPODS.  Apple/Ipod need to make customers aware of this little "glitch" before they purchase HD movies, not after purchasing 11 of them and not being able to transfer them.  Watching on the computer is not my first choice!

    I am not sure if this will help - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209.

  • Movies will not sync back to iphone

    I recently purchased movies on my iphone4 and before I upgraded the software I transfered purchases to my mac.  After the phone went through the upgrade and restored all my information to my phone, all of the recent movies I purchased on the phone would say "url error" when I tried to play them.  I deleted them from the phone and tried to re sync from my computer.  They will not transfer.  I can see them and play them on my mac, but they will not transfer to the phone
    Thanks for any help!!

    Nothing? Nothing at all?

  • Movies Will Not Transfer

    Hi! First of all, let me say that I have had movies on my iPhone before, so I know that it works correctly with the method I use.
    However, right now, I have two movies that will not transfer. They are encoded correctly, and I get no error messages. Also, the iPhone is set to sync these movies in the Video tab of the iPhone Summary Screen.
    When I sync, everything else syncs, just not these two videos. I get no error messages. In addition, when I add a new song, iTunes will say that it is copying "1 of 1" (so it thinks that these songs are already on the phone perhaps?).
    The bar on the bottom of the iPhone Summary Screen shows that the movies have not been transferred.
    Any ideas? I have already tried Restoring my iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Since you've already reset and restored your phone, the next step is to turn off automatic syncing. Then turn off all syncing options except for movies, and only sync one of those movies and see what happens.
    Make sure you set all other sync options off, though -- we don't want it to try a sync with anything other than that one movie (and thus your phone memory should essentially be empty). Let us know what happens.

  • Why won't a Rented movie will not restart?

    Rented a movie through iTunes  I stopped it and now it will not restart

    Welcome to the Apple community Triley937.
    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.
    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.

  • Rented movie will not stream

    I am using my iPad and I use it to rent a movie the movie begins to download but I can not get it to stream to me. I can get movies I rent. On my desktop to stream. Do I have To wait for the entire movie to download to my iPad before I can view it?

    Hi,
    but I can not get it to stream to me.
    Try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    After you restart the iPad try viewing a rented movie. Keep in mind you have 30 days to decide when you want to watch the movie and you have 24 hrs to finish viewing the movie from the time you started. Once the movie period is over the movie will be deleted from your iPad automatically.
    Also, check to make sure you do not have any other apps running in the background before viewing a rental. In the iTunes app store on your iPad click the Home button twice. All your apps will appear at the bottom of the iPad window.
    And try resetting network settings. Tap Settings in your Home screen then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings. Now try viewing a movie.

  • HT1390 Rented movie will not play.

    I downloaded a movie I rented but my computer will not play it. I have the options of using VLC (default), MPlayerX and Quick Time 7. As it was downloading, it began to play and then stopped and wouldn't start again. I waited until the movie had totally finished downloading and tried to play it and I had no luck in seeing it begin. I've played more recently released movies before and had no trouble. This one was from the 1990s.  If it won't work, I'd like a refund.

  • HT1657 rented movie will not download to mac

    rented a movie from itunes and it will not download to Mac. Keep getting an error message when I try to open it to watch on the MAc. Any help??

    How large is the film ? It's size should be on its decription page in the store. The current 'top film' here in the UK is 5.12 gig in HD format.

  • TS1424 Rented movie will not load from iTunes

    I have been trying, without success, to watch a movie that I rented from iTunes. It will not load, loads after waiting for  ages and then plays 2-3 minutes and stops. I have a 50MB connection so download speed is not a factor.
    How do I contyact iTunes and request a refund?
    I have now bought the movie!!
    Thanks
    Stebe

    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.

  • Rented movie will not download

    Just rented a movie at iTunes, But it will not download.
    The download icon just disappers. I have an ipad with the newest update.
    Please help! Thanks :)

    First, 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 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.
