Transfer a rented movie in iTunes to my AppleTV

I have a rented movie in iTunes. When Apple TV is highlighted under Devices and I click on Movies at the top, I get a place when I can move the movie to the right into the To Apple TV box.  When I click on "Apply" in the lower right corner, however, I get an error message that I am not authorized on Apple TV.
How do I become authorized on

I use a program called FotoMagico to create .m4v files of the photos I take on trips and scans of 35 mm slides that I have taken over the years. After the files have been encoded they are downloaded to iTunes and synced to my Apple TV.
I also post the trip pictures on the Internet using the Host Excellence server.  If you are interested, this is the trip Home Page:

  • How do I transfer a rented movie on iTunes from my iMac to my MacBook Pro?

    I got on my iMac today and rented a few movies thinking that iTunes would send them out to all my devices automatically. I have all the check boxes checked on all devices to download automatically. There are instructions for transfering from computer to a device but not how to do it from one computer to another.

    Hi Claire,
    Rentals can be downloaded from a computer to a device, but not to another computer. Here is the Apple Support article on Movie Rentals FYI:

  • How do i transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account?

    How do I transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account?  I sync my iPad with my user account and she sync's her iPad with her user account, but she wants the movie I downloaded onto her iPad.  (We use the same apple ID).

    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music."  -  e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.
    Hold on.  I don't know if the above will work with a rented movie.  There's all kinds of restrictions on what you can do with rented movies.

    Hello there, lorettafromqld.
    The following Knowledge Base article is a great resource on transferring rented content to your iOS device:
    How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer
    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.
    Additional Information
    After you transfer a rental, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only be played on one device at a time.
    Pairing needs to be configured to transfer a rental to Apple TV (1st generation).
    For information about movie rental expiration and viewing limits and for more information about iTunes Store movie rentals, read the article iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ).
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    i cant transfer a rented movie to my iphone

    Hi, JM,
    Make sure you're following the procedure outlined here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
    If you are, can you successfully download other content or apps from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPhone? If you can and it's just the rental that won't transfer, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Rented movies on iTunes will not sync to AppleTV

    When I try to transfer a rented movie to the AppleTv I get an error msg: "movie" was not copied to the Apple TV because it cannot be played on this Apple TV" All other files; music, pictures, TV shows, owned movies transfer without any problems?

    Yes - when viewing the AppleTV in iTunes, I can the rented movie, click move, then Apply and it moves it back and gives me the error msg. I've had the ATV for ~2yrs... no issues until today?
    just to confirm, is this a rental that was rented in itunes on your computer? or rented on the appletv?
    reason i ask is that you said "when viewing the appletv in itunes".
    rented movies made on the appletv cannot be moved anywhere. they are locked to the appletv.
    only movies rented in itunes can be moved to other devices.
    basic things to try first.
    reboot the appletv
    restart itunes PC/mac
    make sure the appletv can access the internet.

  • I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

    I just rented a movie from my iPad2 and tried to play it through my ATV2 with AirPlay and same problem.... This is absurd guys. Apple I know there are copyright hoops to jump through but come on!! The whole pitch behind AirPlay and AppleTV was to make it easy to watch my purchases on my TV no matter what device they were on. Now I've got to hold my iPad in front of my face to watch a movie for nearly 3 hours!! And when I go to the support site I have no option other than to send an email to billing, screw this. I've not bought a DVD since I purchased my ATV2 over a year ago but if you guys are gonna pull this crap then what incentive do I have to continue the use of something that may or may not work the way it was advertised.
    By the way, this is the first time I've had this problem because I normally rent straight off the ATV or my computer, which by the way I was considering replacing my PC with an iPad but looks like you guys aren't ready for me to make that kind of a switch.
    Don't tell us that a product will do XY and Z then put limits on Y sending to Z.
    FIX THIS!!!

  • Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

    can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • 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

  • 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.
