Renting a movie

I rented a movie on my iMac (Lion Mountain) from iTunes(last version) the movie "Die Hard: A good day to die" on SD, when downloaded on my iMac, couldn't find it on my AppleTV(last version hardware and software), help !

I rented one movie with "Download and watch instantly" and the movie was showing fine and played. When I wanted to watch it again the next day, it could not be found anymore.
Another movie I rented with the option "watch later" did never show up as a download. There is also no RENTALS category any more in the upper left menue. In version 5 none of these problems ever happended.
I contacted Apple and they reimbursed me for the one movie I rented and was never able to watch.

I rented a movie. It's not showing up in my video file. Only music videos are. How do I find it?

I rented a movie. I synced my computer and my iPad. The movie isn't anywhere on my iPad. I looked in videos, but the only tab at the top of the page is Music. No movie tab to click. Anyone know where the movie might be?

It's probably still on your computer. Rental movies can't be synced like other videos since they can only exist on one device at a time, your computer or your iPad. Connect your iPad to your computer and select the movies tab. At the top of the page you'll see rented movies separate from purchased movies. Select the movie you want and click the "Move" button.

My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV. Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it? How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to password protect future purchases?

Did you try Parental Controls?
Apple TV: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls) - Apple Support
See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?

Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

I have rented a movie in ITunes, however it does not show up in the movies on my ATV, but purchased movies do. What's up?

I have rented a movie through ITUNES, but it does not show up on my ATV movies menu as they have in the past in a category called rentals. In fact that category isn't shown. My purchased movies are showing up. What's up?

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.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
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.

How do I rent SD movies on my 3rd Gen Apple TV? I have changed the output resolution in Apple TV's setup to 720, but it didn't make any difference.

I returned my 14 month old 3rd Gen Apple TV to the Apple store today because it would no longer see my wireless network. Apple said that because of this problem, it was still covered under warranty, and gave me a new one. Took it home and went through all the setup screens. Even downloaded the latest software update. Everything else appears to be working fine, but I can't rent a movie in SD like I used to be able to. Everything I've read says that the settings is where I change that, but the one setting that I did find and change, under audio and visual, made no difference. What am I missing?
Thanks!

This problem has been solved by me. The settings under the Apple TV menu for audio/visual do adjust for the output to your screen either 1080 or 720, but don't have any effect on the iTunes purchases.
The solution is under the Apple TV menu option "iTunes Store". There you can choose from 1080 HD, 720 HD or 720 SD. Now my movie selections in iTunes do offer the SD option.

Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

I rented a movie from iTunes and it is on my IPad. I wanted to watch it on AppleTV and there is no airplay icon showing up on the movie

I rented a movie from ITunes and it is on my IPad. I wanted to watch it on Apple TV however there is no airplay ap showing up. What should I do

That won't be possible. You can only view a rental on the device used to do so, unless it is done via computer (in which case you can stream using home sharing)

HT3209 rented a movie downloaded it and it is not showing up in my purchases? where do find it to view the movie

Rented a movie on my PC and cannot find it to view the movie?

If you rented it on your PC's iTunes then it should have downloaded in the Movies part of your library. If you select Movies then is there a 'rentals' tab on it, and if there is, is that film in it ?

Did you use iTunes on your computer, or iTunes on your iPad? If you rented it on your computer, you need to transfer it from there to your iPad. Plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes, and select the Movies tab. A Rented Movies section should appear.

Why can't I rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro?

I am trying to rent a movie from iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I click on the gray rent movie button it does NOTHING, like I never clicked on it. I am signed in, I authorized the computer and have rented movies in the past. I do have OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3(25) because I haven't purchased new software to upgrade something that works just fine, until now. I'm not sure if the software is the problem because I have rented movies in the past 6 months. I have just tried to purchase other movies, and even songs, and it doesn't do anything when I click the gray price to purchase the song. Please help.

Same exact thing just started happening to me. Same issues as you. I have tried restarting itunes and reinstalling many times with no luck at all.

I rented a movie via Itunes on my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. Will I still be charged?

I rented a movie via Itunes on my PC but half-way through the download recieved a "An unknown error has occured (-50)" notification. This is not my first rental, and I have verified my network and all connections to be good. I have rebooted Itunes and resumed the download of the movie only to receive the same error code. Has the movie file been corrupted? Can I recover the rental even though the time has elapsed? Will I be charged?

Did you figure this out? I haven't rented a movie in this new iTunes yet and saw one tonight I wanted to rent. Same fricken thing is happening to me. I hate this new iTunes, and I really hate that there are problems like this....why the heck do they have to fix something that isn't broken and break it? This just really stinks.

HT201667 I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?

I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?

The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

HT1933 Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

Why is it that I rented a movie from iTunes on my computer but it is not showing in my Apple TV to view

Hello Amy,
You can but the method varies depending on the Apple TV that you have.
From the article How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390:
To rent movies from the iTunes Store on your computer
In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.
In the iTunes Store, find a movie you want to rent.
Click Rent. Your rental should begin to download immediately.
Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
Click the Movies button.
Select the movie, and then click Move.
After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
If you have Apple TV 2nd gen. or later you can use Airplay to play it on your tv through the Apple TV.
Here is the article to help get that setup and going.
Using AirPlay
