Transferring Movie Rentals from iTunes to Apple TV

I bought Apple TV (40gb) yesterday and have tried to transfer 3 rented movies over to it from my iTunes but everytime I try to copy them over i get an error! It says that Apple TV could not connect to the iTunes Store even though it is connected as I have downloaded two films from it already.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Have you checked to see if itms is actually available for the tv, sometimes I get a similar message but a while later all is well. if you are sure the store is available, I think perhaps sometimes the messages thrown up by the tv can be a little misleading, it may well be that there is another issue which is causing this message. Are you able to stream from your itunes library, have you tried reauthorising your account.

  • Can't transfer movie rentals from ITunes to Apple TV

    I have rented a couple of movies through my Itunes account on my IMac. For some reason when I try and select these to move over to my Apple TV it says "You must be connected to the Intenet to transfer a rented movie" I am connected and am in fact in the process of syncing the other items in my Itunes with Apple TV. Its just the movie rentals its having issues with. any ideas??

    No. Once downloaded to an iOS device it cannot be transferred to another iOS device or computer, & can only be watched on that iOS device.

  • HT1577 Why am I experiencing long download times for an HD movie rental from itunes?

    I have been experiencing long download times for movie rentals from itunes (this time 11 hours).  I have even tried to use ethernet, turn off simultaneous downloads, and shut down my browser, to speed up the time but that didn't help.  My internet download speed is about 7mbps.  Any suggestions?

    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

  • When you download from your IPAD a movie rental from ITUNES-where do you go to find it?

    When you download a movie rental from the ITUNES app. on my IPAD-how do you find the movie rental to be able to watch?not under video,purchases,movies-?

    If you don't find it in the Videos App look in the iPod App as well. If you still can't find it, from your home screen, swipe to the right to bring up the Spotlight search feature. Type in the name of the movie. If the movie appears - tap it and it should begin to play.

  • Transferring movie rentals from AppleTV to other devices?

    Has anybody been able to find a workaround for this issue?  The other night I was watching a movie that I rented on my AppleTV, and during the middle of it I wanted to start watching on my iPad.  I quickly found that this is much easier said then done. I did some research online and found this article: http://www.macworld.com/article/153224/2010/08/itunes_movie_rentals.html
    If what it says is accurate (I think that it might be), then it means that I can’t transfer rentals from one device to any other device.  This is completely ridiculous; if I were to go to Redbox or Blockbuster and rent a DVD I would be able to watch that movie on any device that would play it during the time I rented the movie.  This should be the same for rentals on my Apple devices.  I understand that the MPAA has its hands in this and they are trying to make it difficult for people to get around their 24 hour viewing constraints.  I should however be able to move the rental from one device to another without the hang up of being stuck on the device I initially rented on.  It seems like this is a no brainer, if I paid money for the movie and I am just trying to watch it, I should be able to do that however I want.
    Thanks for the rant! 

    It makes no sense at all, but if you rent on AppleTV1/2 you cannot transfer the rental to itunes/iPod etc whereas an itunes rental can be moved from one device to another or played on AppleTV2 via Home Sharing.
    Illogical in the extreme but perhaps related to movie rights issues not Apple being daft - some HD rental  content is only available on iPad and AppleTV for some reason, so maybe it's to stop you watching on devices you'd not normally be able to.
    Still makes no sense.

  • HT4743 My TV will play movies purchased from itunes via apple tv but not tv shows..why ? thank you

    My TV will play movies via apple tv but on trying to play tv shows keeps asking for authorization..why ? How do I authorize ? Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

  • Problems downloading and watching first movie rental from iTunes

    I wanted to try renting a movie through iTunes tonight and it has been constant problems on my Windows 7 64-but PC home theater PC with iTunes 10.5.  I was going to rent it through Amazon Video on Demand, but they didn't offer the movie in HD on a PC (I would need a Ruku box, Tivo or Blu Ray player to get Amazon Video in HD).  I have used Amazon SD and Netflix HD streaming on the PC with no issues, so it is not normal to have problems streaming video with this PC or the internet connection here.
    The iTunes download was indicating it will take 2 hours and I let it buffer about 30 minutes on my 15Mb connection.  Over 1 gig is cached.
    I can only play the movie a few minutes at a time before the movie playback and download both stop with unknown error -39 and I have to manually resume the download every few minutes and restart the movie or else  iTunes freezes completely and I have to kill it and restart it and I have also rebooted the PC.
    The 24 hour rental countdown has already started since I have already attempted to start watching the movie and it doesn't look like I'm even going to have time to finish watching the movie now.  Every time iTunes crashes and I relaunch it, I now have to re-enter my iTunes password just to get into iTunes.
    This has been a complete nightmare and waste of time and waste of the $4.99 rental fee. 
    Are there any fixes to these issues?

    I waited for the download to complete and now when I play the movie there is no sound!!
    The movie had sound before even though I could only play a few minutes of the movie at a time.
    I have sound everywhere else on the PC including the music in iTunes.  Only the movie playback has no sound.
    I have tried rebooting, reinstalling iTunes and I even installed Quicktime because an old thread about iTunes movie rentals playing with no sound suggested installing Quicktime separately, but it has not helped.
    This is a very poor experience renting movies through iTunes.

  • I was in the middle of watching a movie rental from iTunes on my Apple TV and it shut off the movie and took me directly to the main menu. Now the movie doesn't even show up on my iTunes account. How do I get back to the movie?

    Now when I try to re-rent the movie on iTunes a message pops up saying, "You already purchased this item. Go to Settings --> Downloads." Every time I do this There is not button that says "Downloads." Please help.

    Mac responded to my question, they didn't download automatically into my library, they were still in the purchased section of the itunes store and i downloaded it from there. Thanks

  • Can't transfer movie rental from iMac to Apple TV 1st gen

    Hello guys, any ideas here...?
    I have rented a movie in my iMac and can't get it transfered or streamed to my Apple TV 1st generation.
    When I open iTunes I can see the "rented movies" tab under "movies" and the movie is there. I hit the "move" command the movie moves to "on Apple TV" but when I hit the sync command it goes back and just dosn't sync.
    I have also tried to connect my library to stream the movie but when I open my shard movies in the Apple TV the rented movie will not appear on the list.
    Tks in advance!
