Rented Movies Other Space?

I have rented a few movies and transfered them to my iPhone, but today when I "deleted" one before it expired, it is still on my iPhone, not as "Video" but as "Other" space. Will this go away after I sync the phone when the movie has actually expired? Because 1.34 GB of space is quite large on an 8GB iPhone, so this "Other" space will be needed in the future for "Music" and "Video" space.
Any suggestions or comments on why this occurs?

That 8.1 GB for "other" should be nowhere near that big. You may have had a sync that was corrupted and that is what caused the bloated "other" storage.
"Other" includes anything that is not music, apps, books, photos or media content. So that leaves things like your app data and documents, app settings, email settings and messages, text messages, Notes, calendar entries, Safari bookmarks and history - things associated with your apps but not the apps themselves.
Usually restoring the device is recommended in order to solve the "bloated other" issues. But before you restore your iPad, sometimes these simple quick steps can work.
Sync your iPad again, Restart your iPad or Reboot your iPad.
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.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Try those first and if they do not work, you will probably have to restore your iPad. You can restore from a backup at the end of the process and you should not lose anything at all - except for the nasty, bloated "other". You will want to backup before you restore. It is all explained here.

Only rented movies will transfer to iPad, not others?

I am trying to transfer one rented movie and one of my own home movies to my iPad Mini 2. Using the latest iTunes (downloaded 12/18/2014). I moved the rented movie over, and checked the box next to the non-rented movie. The "Sync Movies" box is checked also. I clicked "apply". The rented movie can be seen in the Videos app on my iPad, but the other movie does not. On my Mac, in the iPad's menu, I clicked on Rentals and the rented movie is there. In Movies, nothing. I tried syncing just the non-rented movie several times, but the sync takes only a few seconds - clearly not enough time to transfer a 1.5 GB movie. And I have over 6 GB of free space on the iPad.
Any reason why the non-rented movie won't transfer over during the sync?
The iPad Mini 2 is brand new.

I tried to put a rented movie on my ipod touch and it kI tried to put a rented movie on my ipod touch and it keeps telling me that my computer is noteeps telling me that my computer is not authorized. But it is. I have other rentals on it. Why this movie?

I tried to put a rented movie on my ipod touch and it keeps saying that it can't be done because my computer is not authorized. However I have other rented movies on it.

Try deauthorizing and reauthorizing the computer.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

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.

I have downloaded 2 rented movies. I can find then in my downloads but can not find then in iTunes. I read the others that have had the same problem an I can't find the rented in iTunes

Hey rangermikegsm,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
Find movies you rented previously
Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
Ciao,
-Jason

HT4367 Whenever I try to rent a movie, Apple TV buffers and does not come back. I am able to see other programs, but not able to rent movies. And the movie charge still goes on my bill.

Apple TV uses iTunes. The reason you can't rent through your ATV is because you can't rent movies through iTunes Canada. Sadly, as this is a user-to-user forum, no one here would know when or if rentals will come to Canada.

HT1657 Where are the rented movies on iTunes located....I see it on my phone, but can not locate the movie on any other computer. Thank you!

Where are the rented movies on itunes located? I see them on my iphone, but I am unable to locate them in my itunes, even via searching the name. Thank you!

You cannot.

Not if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
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.
Why it's like that I don't know

How do i get rid of old rented movies that are a week over due when it was only a one day rental?

hi, i have been trying to get rid of my rented movies that keep wanting to download and they are using up all my space on the ipod. because of this i have to restore my ipod every time i try to use it because of the two movies "The Proposal" and "Me, Myself, and Irene" and it is keeping me from watching a newly rented movie "Beowulf". i would like it if the two movies "The Proposal" and "Me,Myself, and Irene" were wiped off of my account so that i mat proceed with watching my other movies. this has been a hassle for me long enough. so please take the first two movies i mentioned off of my downlods list on my itunes account but not "Beowulf". thank you.

HT1657 Tried to rent movie but saying error cannot download movie at this time?

Tried to download a rental the other day when trying to download it said I did not have enough space when I did this is due to my iPad having an expired previously rented movie.
Still after this had gone it was saying I did not have enough space. I reset my iPad to then hopefully start downloading my rental and it is now saying error cannot download movie at this time?
Help.
Thanks

I can't download tv shows or rented movies. My iPad indicates that I have 1.3 GB available and even though the downloads are less than that, the movies and tv shows will not download and the message I get says I don't have enough available storage.

Also, I bought additional storage but it shows up in iCloud and does not alleviate the need for additional storage for videos. What can I do to get additional storage to download rented movies and tv shows?

In General you need 2 to 3 times the Space of the Download File size.
If you are getting the Not Enough Space message... you will need to Delete items to create sufficent space

I can't remove a rented movie from my iphone

The movie has expired.
I have synced the phone a couple of times and it is still on there.
I have held down the sleep and home key at the same time until the apple appears.
I have uncheck the option to manually manage music and videos.
I was hoping to not have to push the restore button to get rid of a movie.

try syncing your phone a couple times and opening the "rented movies" item under the phone's entry in itunes. the first time i opened it my movie, which had expired a week ago was still there. then i undocked, re-docked and synced, and the rented movie was gone and 1+GB of free space appeared. I had synced the phone several times since the movie expired, so i think the difference was opening the rented movies entry.

Can't sync rented movie to iPhone

I have a rented movie that is not yet expired and has not been started. I want to move it to my iPhone. The sync starts and after the entire file has been transferred (enough free space on iPhone) an error message pops up saying I cannot sync the movie because a connection to the iTunes store cannot be established. Internet connection is there, of course, and iTunes store works fine. I tried different movies but all having the same problem. Any ideas?

Can't offer any help other than to say I have the same exact problem and have read on this forum where others do as well.
The only solution seems to be to call customer support and get a credit.
