Rented movies on IPad remain in "waiting" state

I rented the movie (actually 2)directly on IPad and was hoping to watch it immediately but the only thing I can see is that the movies are in the download tab and are having status "waiting".  Did this happen to anyone else? How did you solve it?
Thanks in advance..

Yes - I have seen this happen with movies &  apps. It happened to me once. But other users have reported this as well. I have no clue if this will work, but try it - restart the iPad and see if the download will resume.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    I got the same error and can't get it to work.  My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes.  I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

    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.

  • Itune rented movies to ipad

    Itune rented movies to IPAD. I have downloaded and moved many movies to ipad for my travels. I just downloaded 2 rented movies today to my imac, and now it will not let me move to my ipad. Itunes claims I have already downloaded to a device. I have used this process many times. Did something change?

    I just had the same problem and someone posted the below, which fixed it!
    Deleting the SC Info folder also worked for me. See "Remove the SC info folder" on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389

  • Renting movie: unable to download, status "waiting".

    When trying to rent a movie on iPad, the download does not start, it has status "waiting", and nothing happens.

    I got the exact same problem.

  • Problems renting movies on iPad 2 from iTunes.

    I have had problems twice lately renting movies from iTunes. The first time, the download got hung up and then gave me an error. I never could get it to finish. Support helped me remove and then suggested I download on my laptop and then sync to my iPad. It worked, but that isn't a fix to the problem. It is a work around. One of the reasons I got it was to rent movies when I travel and I don't want to take my laptop to do that.
    Today, I had my second problem. I rented a movie and downloaded directly to my iPad. When I went to look for it under videos, I couldn't find it. Later, it showed up under videos out of the blue. I started watching the movie and it got about halfway through when the movie froze. It would not go any further although it had all or the remaining chapters listed in the chapter guide.
    In looking through some other forums I have heard that my first issue was quite common and now I have heard from others that my second issue is somewhat common as well. Does anyone know what the issue is or what Apple is doing about this?

    Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Streaming rented movies on ipad or Apple TV

    Is it possible to stream rented movies after purchasing them? After sitting down with family I happily rented a movie from iTunes only to see that I have a 2h wait before we can watch it. I was surprised not to see it listed under purchased media. I didn't even realize that it was initially downloading. I frequently purchase SD episodes from my iPad or phone and access them from my Apple TV account. I am confused as to why I cannot do the same with a rented movie.

    I appreciate the input. I gave iTunes another chance later that evening following the suggestions of others to use the Apple TV itself. Unfortunately the Apple TV does not always allow the rental of SD content which is usually cheaper and faster to download. I was still disappointed to see that even on the Apple TV the content did not stream and was required to download for more than an hour. The point of frustration is that rental content must be downloaded to any device at all. It is time consuming and unnecessary for something that is by definition temporary. It's not like it even has to be done that way. Many services allow streaming of rental content and even on iTunes if I were to purchase any of the same media it would be available to stream from any device on the same account. Some mentioned that they hate explaining that process. Apple used to be known for how intuitive its devices were. Known for anticipating new ways to use technology and the needs of its customers. It is ridiculous that there is a process to explain at all.

  • 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 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.
    MickCharles wrote:
    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).

  • 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.

  • Transfer iTunes rented movies to iPad

    Hi All,
    I have read all the threads on moving rented movies from iTunes library on PC to iPad.  Problem is I do not see the "move icon" in the library of movies.  I see all 3 rented titles I wish to move.  Guidance is appreciated.  I am sure it is something simple but yet frustrating.
    Thanks!

  • Can't Find My Rented Movie On iPad.  Grrr!

    I rented a movie in iTunes and am trying to sync it to my iPad, which I've done many times before.  It's not working!  I transferred it to the iPad side in iTunes and it's telling me it's on my iPad, but I can't find it.  The rental icon is not there either.  I'm connected to the Internet.  I have no idea where I'm going wrong.
