Rented Movies from ATV to MacBook iTunes

How do I transfer rented movies from my ATV to my computer?

Pretty sure this can't be done. I think you can only sync purchased content from Apple TV back to a computer. When you rent a movie, Apple TV tells you that the movie can only be viewed on Apple TV.

How to move a rented movie from IPAD to Macbook Itunes?

Hi,
I've rented a movie and downloaded it on my IPAD4. I didn't watch it yet and I prefer to move the movie to my Macbook pro Itunes.
I've connected the IPAD4 to the Macbook using the USB cable provided with the IPAD power supplier but I cannot find a way to transfer the file.
Does anybody know how to move the file from the IPAD to the Macbook/Itunes?
Thanks,
Flavio

You can't. Movies rented on an iPad 4 can't be transferred to any other device or any computer.

1. In order to view any of that media, does it have to be physically copied to the ATV hardrive via sync (therefore creating two copies of each media file, one on my IMac and one on ATV)?
no, it can be streamed from the mac to the appletv
2. Can I watch or listen to any of that media without copying the files to the ATV (ie: can I stream to ATV from ITunes on my IMac - like Airtunes?)
yes, see above
3. If I buy a movie on ATV, I assume it downloads to the HD in ATV. Then I assume if I sync ITunes it will create a second copy of that movie file on my IMac?
no, it will move the purchased item to itunes. if you want it back on the appletv you would need to sync it to it yourself.
4. If I've watched that movie, and I don't want it taking up HD space on the ATV....how do I delete it from ATV?
you remove any content from the appletv by using itunes and adjusting your sync options.
5. Finally, if I buy a movie in Itunes on my IMac and want to watch it via ATV and I have to synch it over there..... this means that before I can watch that movie I have to first wait for it to download into Itunes and then wait for it to sync a copy to ATV?
yes that is correct.

Rented movie from atv back to computer

I read an article from apple insider that said you can't sync a movie from the apple tv to you computer. I spoke with an apple representative that said that is not true the movie will sync to the computer otherwise how could you put the movie onto your ipod and finish watching ?

Has anybody been able to watch a rental on Atv yet. I have tried twice and not been able. The first I started on Mac by mistake and the second sits waiting to transfer to Atv but I can't find the process to transfer. Got latest software on each. Am I waiting for this new (2 week) Atv update? Well I got 29 days left on my latest rental. So far Netflx by snail mail seems faster. I have had terrible download time with my DSL (average 7 hours) so far. Could be slow streams or DSL is too slow for movies, Anybody got download times with other modems?

I am getting the following error during the play of a rented movie from my MacBook that i am trying to watch on AppleTV Could not play the rental "A Thousand Words" because it is authorized to play on another computer or device." any ideas?

Rentals can only play on one device/computer at a time. Have you tried to play on the computer and still have that window open?
Have you transferred the rental to iPod/iPhone or iPad to watch?
If it won't play anywhere contact iTunes support at:

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 an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

It says
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
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.

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.

Yes I bought it and it wouldent play off my iPhone , so I bought it off my iPad 2 and lost it during a sync episode so I bought it twice and never sew it . It so hard to talk to some one when you rent movies from iTunes they get the money fast but if you

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.

Have iPod Touch and want to view rented movies from iTunes on our TV

We have an iPod Touch. I rented movies from iTunes. We would like to connect the iPod to the television so the whole family can watch at the same time. We did a little research and was told to buy a "Eforcity Premium Retractable Apple iPod AV Composite Cable, White [Compatible with: iPod with Color Display / including iPod Photo / iPod Video (including U2 Special Editions of iPod Photo &Video)]" which we did. In our research it said in the instructions it said to access the "TV Out Video Setting". My husband can't find it and hence is unable to get it to work. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

I don't think that cable is compatible with the iPhone or the iPod touch. I know the old Apple AV cable wont work with the iPod touch, you need either a Apple Composite AV Cable or an Apple Component AV Cable. See here for more info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?locale=en_US.
