Rented Movies not syncing

For whatever reason my rented movies will not transfer over to my 3G iPod Nano. I've restored the nano and updated from 7.6 to 7.7. Neither worked. Every time I move the file from iTunes into the 3G Nano in the rented movies tab and hit apply, it gives the following error:
The rented movie "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" could not be transferred to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (404).
Same thing happens when I try and move over There Will Be Blood. Each expires in 29 days.
Windows XP machine...I'm at work.
Nano has the latest software.

FYI, I didn't post this 3 times for attention, the server wasn't working correctly earlier and timed-out. Must have happen when I clicked back to submit.

Why are some of my movies not syncing while others are? All of my movies are in m4v form, and some of them sync but some of them don't.

Also, when i try to play my movies on my mac AND ipod, some of my movies just randomly freeze and wont let me continue watching. I dont understand why its doing this.

How do I get a rented movie to sync up to my Gen 5 iPod?

I can see the rented movie file in the movies subfolder of the iTunes folder that contains my entire library on my desktop HD. My iPod syncs my purchased TV-shows and other ripped video files just fine, but it won't show me a rented movie that has plenty of time before it expires. What gives? Is this another brain dead agreement to appease Hollywood?
Can I set my iPod to manual sync and copy it to a folder that I create.....like rented movies? Can some one give me a clue as I'm heading out of town in about 6 hours?

ITunes rented movie not outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio

The problem with the downloaded movie (Real Steel HD) is
that the Dolby Digital 5.1 (English) audio is not being putput. The movie is only playing back in
"stereo" mode. When playing back on iTunes there are four audio tracks
to choose from:
1. English 1 (This plays stereo)
2. English 2 (NO SOUND) - I believe this should be the Dolby Digital track
3. French (This plays stereo)
4. Spanish (This plays stereo)
Neither of the two English tracks is outputting Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
I have confirmed that my PC is capable of up to 7.1 surround sound and
my A/V receiver is capable of even more. I have updated both the ATI
Radeon 4500 driver and the Realtek drivers. I have tested and
confirmed that my PC is capable of outputting sound to all 5 of my
speakers and my subwoofer, HOWEVER when playing back the rented movie
in iTunes the maximum audio is stereo. I have the latest version of
iTunes installed, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I have also purchased another movie advertised as Dolby Digital 5.1
audio (The Bourne Supremecy HD) but I am afraid to begin my 24-hour
viewing period because of these audio problems being unresolved.
My question is: Are there known issues of movies purchased on iTunes
and played back on a Windows 7 PC not playing the Dolby Digital
tracks? If so, is there a fix for this via an iTunes settings change
or a Windows update patch?
From the four audio tracks that I listed above, I believe track 2 is
the Dolby Digital track, yet there is NO SOUND when that track is
selected.
Please help, as this is pretty frustrating when your movie night is ruined for the family especially after you've paid for and waited for the movie to download.

I managed to get my DD tracks working.
First had to update itunes to the latest version (10.7.0.21) to get rid of the out of sync sound problem
Then updated the realtek driver. There was an update directly in the realtek website (mine is the HD Audio): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24& Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
After all that. I tunes wasn't allowing anymore to select the Doubly Digital 5.1 tracks (an improvement).
Then went to the windows properties for the realtek optical output and checked both options to allow application exclusive access and to have priority (http://dailykermit.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/windows-7-exclusive-device-control/)
After all this, I was able to enjoy my rental

Rented movie not showing up on iPod Touch's "videos"

I just rented my first movie on iTunes and went through the process of "moving" it to my iPod Touch 2G. In iTunes it shows that it is now on my iPod, and I can see that my video filespace has significantly increased since the transfer. However, on my iPod, under "videos" the movie does not show up. The only items listed are two TV episodes which I earlier purchased and transferred. I tried moving it back to my computer, and then moving it back again to my iPod, but no luck. Any thoughts on how to access my rented movie on my iPod?

I have the same exact issue. Rented a movie yesterday. itunes downloaded it. it was in my library. i moved it to the device. I synced. it shows it is taking up space on my ipod but I cannot find where I can play it. Even installed the new 2.2.1 software and that didnt affect this. how do I play what I rented?

I've lost rented movies after syncing

I synced my iPad to my iMac and lost the rented movies I've not viewed yet - any idea on how to reload from iTunes?

This has just happened to me too. I rented one movie and bought another. (Ihaven't watched the one I rented yet) They both seems to have disappeared after I synched my Ipad with my macbook. Anyone got any advice on how to restore these movies? Also they don't show up in purchased. Any ideas?

Rented Movies Not Authorized

All of a sudden I seem to have a problem viewing rented movies on my Appletv. Rented a movie on my G5 and synced it to Appletv. Went to play it at after a long time with the Spinning Gear got a message that " Not Authorized to Play This" on Apple TV. After a lot of playing tried to rent a movie directly with Appletv and now cannot do this either, just get the spinning gear. I can see the movies at the iTunes Store just not rent them. I can rent and view them on all my computers. Not sure what has changed any ideas where to look? Everything is current.

i was having flaky performance from my appleTV early on... i did a restore to factory setting then upgrade just to start from scratch and i stopped unplugging it to restart it and only use the restart from the menu... and my appleTV has been rock solid ever since. maybe it's just coincidence, but i firmly believe that yanking the cord out of the appleTV is just bad news... appleTV is basically a stripped down mac and you wouldn't yank the cord out of your computer a few times a week.. things would get corrupted like crazy.
if you are having lots of problems i'd advise you to do the same.. factory restore and stop yanking the cord to restart and only use the menu to restart instead.

Rented movies not showing up.

I purchased three rented movies and i wanted to watch them on my iphone 4s so I plugged it into my computer to transfer them over. I clicked on the movies tab under my device and only one of the movies i have rented showed up to be able to be synced. I was wondering why the other Two rented movies i have are unable to be synced/put on my iphone. They show up under rented movies in my iTunes library on my computer but not in the movies tab under my device to sync to my iphone.

I had this problem as well. I had just downloaded a movie prior to installing an update and then the movie disappeared. The problem resolved after I signed out of iTunes & signed back in again.

Rented movies not showing up on ipod

I recently purchased an 16GB ipod touch and one of the first things I did was rent a movie and tested it out. It worked great. I have now rented two more movies and for some reason they are not working.
I downloaded them, synced them with my ipod, the video storage increased substantially, hit the videos icon to view one and for some strange reason, they show up for a split second and then they are gone.
There is plenty of storage space (about half the ipod is full according to the capacity bar in itunes...shows there is 8.17GB of storage space free).
I have a tv show listed on there and a few video podcasts as well. They all work just fine, but for some reason the movies are not listed except when I first hit the video icon...they show up on the list for a second and then disappear. Any ideas why I can't view them?
Your help is much appreciated...thanks!!

This also happened to me. I rented a movie and moved it to my ipod touch (2nd gen) and the rented movies tab on itunes is no longer there because I moved the movie to the ipod but it doesn't show up on my ipod. I have less disk space on my ipod, so i know the movie was moved, but I can't find it and now I just have afew hours left before it expires.
Where can I find the movie in my ipod???

Rented Movies not showing up on iPad?

I downloaded three movies on my computer (I was able to use a very nice high speed lan connection) as rentals to watch on a trip. I sync'ed my iPad to the computer, however after I did the sync, I still don't see the rented movies. Any suggestions? I do see a movie I bought with no issues but not any of the rented ones.
Thanks in advance...

Ok you got me going down a road, thanks... But Here's what I find when I go into "Help"
To transfer a rental to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV:
Connect your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device (below Devices):
Click the Movies or TV Shows tab, depending upon the item you rented.
Select the rented item.
Click Move.After you transfer a rental, it’s removed from your iTunes library.
Still no luck...

Rented Movie Not Showing in Videos

I rented a movie...twice now...that has been moved from my Mac to my iPad. I sync the iPad and from the Mac, it shows the video on the ipad. When I go to the iPad, the movie does not show up in the Videos app for me to watch. I checked the general settings and I have NO restrictions set.
This never happend before the latest upgrade! Help from anyone out there who can shed some light on this is greatly appreciated. Is there some new app that we have to watch rented movies from? Confused.

I have exactly the same problem. Perhaps it has something to do with the recent 10.9.2 update? As a matter of fact no video from my Mac sync with my iPad now.

Rented movie not playing. I have 81Mbps Internet and can stream anything else HD. it's not WiFi either because signal strength is full and I can view anything other than rented movies on apple TV unit. it charges me for renting but doesn't play

Rented "Gone Girl" on apple tv. It charges me, but will not play for more than 4 seconds at a time. I have exercised every step of apple's troubleshooting and nothing fixes the problem. I have a very strong, steady 81 Mbps Internet connection speed and can stream any other HD through the apple tv except for this rented movie. This is not the first time this has happened either. I just gave apple $6 for free and am currently watching the movie streaming through my cable provider's on demand channel with ease. Oh yeah, and when I seek apple support for the issue, apple wants $2 just to contact someone! Give me my money back please and I will never attempt to use your poor tv service again.

The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

Rented movie not showing up in iTunes to watch on my laptop

Am having trouble watching a rented movie, it is not past the 30 days. The movie is not in the video section in iTunes. Please help?!

The itunes app is where you buy music. This is not where you watch movies.
Depending on the ios version, it will be in the videos app or the ipod app.
