Transfer Rented Movies from Apple TV V2 to Computer?!?!

I rented some movies on my Apple TV. Can I transfer them to my Mac that the Apple TV is synced with? I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I know that I can transfer rented movies from the Mac to the Apple TV, but the other way???
Please someone let me know.

If you think you might need to watch your movie on anything other then Apple TV, rent it form iTunes on your computer. Once it is on your computer you can move it to an iPod, iPhone, and even Apple TV 2.0.
Under this system the only thing you can't do is have an HD rented movie on your computer. iPods and iPhones can't play that anyway. Yes, I think media giants sleep safer when HD movies are not on peoples "corruptible" computers and safe and sound on an "appliance".
The only way to make this any easier would be to allow SD rentals to transfer back to a computer but not HD. I think that would just add another layer of confusion.

  • Can I transfer rented movies from one computer to another?

    I am posting this message as every time I try to transfer rented movies from my PowerBook to my iPod get the following message.
    Attempting to copy to the disk "Michael Graham's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    I have gotten this message with an iPod Classic, as well as an iPod Touch, so don't think it is the iPod, but can not be sure of that. Also have posted a message about this in past, but none of the suggestions seemed to help. In addition Apple seems to be no help. In any event if I use my dad's Mac Mini to transfer the rented movie I do not get this message. In any event I just wonder if their is any way to transfer rented movies from one my laptop to his desktop, so I then came transfer to my iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance

  • HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?

    Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and  should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. As far as I know Apple haven't given a reason, but you can try leaving feedback for them via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • HT1498 Hi, Is it possible to change the language when renting movies from apple TV?

    Hi, Is it possible to change the language when renting movies from apple TV?

    It depends on how the java code is gnerated. If for example months are given with fixed array .... then it will only be english
    But then agin you have the source code (.java files) open all java files in the oracle.forms froject and alter to your language then recompile and reacreate the jar (easily done with Jdeveloper)

  • We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?

    We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?  They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now.  What's up?

    Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks.  It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively.  Tonight has been no exception.
    I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause.  My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
    I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm.  I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there.  My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
    I have both a first and second generation AppleTV.  When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame.  The issue affects both.  I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
    So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so...  it must be on the delivery end.
    Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers.  They should.  In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
    I was an early adopter of AppleTV.  It has not been problematic until now.  This is trying my patience.  My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens.  I do.
    I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services.  If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

    trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address.

    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.

  • Rented movies from apple store disappeared before time

    rented movies from apple store disappeared before time is up?
    How do i retreave movies i have purchased and not yet watched that disappear.

    Had you started to watch it? Once you press play you only have 24 or 48 hours (depending on location) to finish. Also, if you watch anything else or turn off the ATV the rental will be flushed and need to be reloaded. Go to the settings, iTunes store, check for rentals in that case.

  • Problems watching rented movies from Apple TV.

    I'm having trouble watching a rented movie on Apple TV.  The movie loads, but when I play the movie it gets "hung" and wont play.  I've upgraded to the latest update and have tried re-starting Apple TV with no luck.

    You can go to this page - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download/ and read the info available - if none of that helps then use the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom - you will be directed to - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/. From that page you will be asked to fill in various info. Very painless but you have to fill in the blanks.

  • Finding a rented movie from Apple TV

    I recently rented a movie direct from my Apple TV but I am unable to find it. I seem to recall that when you used to go into the movie tab there were essentially a folder for both "Purchased" and "Recently Rented" that showed how much longer remained on any rented movie. I now only appear to have a "Purchased" folder. When I click on the movie again it shows a prompt saying I have already rented this movie. I went to the General / I Tunes / Search for rented but had no success as the disc that appears when searching just seems to continue spinning endlessly and not find anything. Thanks in advance guys, appreciate your help. Duncan

    Hi Duncan,
    To find a movie you rented from your Apple TV, look in the top shelf of the main menu. See this article for reference -
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

  • How do you transfer rented movies from a mac book to apple tv?

    I have downloaded some movies onto my mac book pro, but want to watch them on my apple tv. How does one transfer from the computer to the ATV?

    I'm pretty sure you can't. I complained about this because I couldn't even airplay a rental movie from my ipad to my Apple TV. The support team game me a free rental for my troubles and said if I want to watch rentals on my Apple TV then I must rent it from my Apple TV. The rental prices and restrictions are bad enough, not being able to stream it to my Apple TV is just ludicrous.

  • HT1657 How do I transfer rented movies from iPad to Apple TV

    Although my Apple TV sees all my iTunes so previously purchased and I am able to download movies and other product from ITunes, the Apple TV is requesting. Three or four digit security code ending in 1359
    I do not have any such code
    Please help
    What do I need to do to seamlessly rent or buy movies on Apple TV????
    Regards,
    Fernando Calero

    The method is exactly the same as in previous versions of iTunes: 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
    The only difference now is that by default the iPad will appear as a button at the upper-right of iTunes:
    Click that all all should then work as per the directions. You can also go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and iTunes 11 will then look substantially like earlier versions.
    Regards.
