Troubling finding rented movies on Apple TV

Having recently been given an Apple TV I have managed to play music from iTunes and view photos however I cant view the film I rented via iTunes. Looking at iTunes it is showing that the movies has transferred to Apple TV but i cant find it. Confusing there is no folder called Rented Movies.

In iTunes under the devices list the AppleTV will have a tab for movies and ransferring rentals.
On AppleTV the rentals will be at the top of the Movies options under Rented Movies (or similar).
I assume your AppleTV runs software 2.0 or higher.

  • HT202157 anyone having trouble with renting movies with Apple TV?

    Not sure what to do,  can't seem to rent on Apple TV tonight.  Netflix is working and Itunes on my MAC is working.  I can always plug Mac to sound system but....  Anyone out there ith same trouble today.
    BTW:
    I restarted AppleTV
    I plug/unplugged (the godd old alt/del)

    I appreciate you trying to help. However, I have NO idea how to check for a '3rd party DNS'. As I said, it worked flawlessly on Monday. Wouldn't that mean I was corrected properly?
    I went to Apple TV support and in answer to rentaing movies it referred me with a link to this:
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
    This is a link FROM the Apple TV page. So I should have 30 days to watch the movie. Under Settings is a "Search for rented movies" option. Isn't that where you would find your rentals that you have not watched yet?
    It's not that I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just do not have a CLUE how to provide what you are asking for.
    Thanks.

  • HT1498 Trouble watching rented movie on Apple TV

    I have rented movies through my laptop several times and transferred them to my Apple TV to watch them.  However, I rented one the other day and after I transferred it and pulled it up to play it, I got the message that I wasn't authorized to do so.  However, the other movies I've rented I can play without a problem.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am having the same problem. Rented a movie tonight. Downloaded it to my ipad but when I try to airplay it to my Apple TV, I'm only getting sound. I have checked my Apple TV is updated, I restarted it and unplugged it for 30 seconds. On my Apple TV I checked itunes for rentals and it says there is nothing there. The only thing I have not tried is restarting my ipad. It's an ipad 2 btw. If I get it sorted out, I'll let ya know how.

  • Can't find rented movie on Apple TV

    I rented a movie using iTunes and can't find where to play it on Apple TV (2nd Gen)
    Downloaded recent firmware upgrade last night.
    Can anyone help?

    Yeah that makes sense.  When I would access "computers" through settings that's what it would tell me.
    So I checked out the link and maybe I'm utterly lost, but I don't see it helping my situation.
    I click on the "computers" icon and it tells me to turn on homesharing.  So I turn on homesharing in itunes, then go back to appletv and click on the "computers" icon again and it tells me the same thing.  I'm not seeing anything in the link that helps with that.  Am I missing something here?

  • TS3623 Can't find rented movie on apple tv

    I downloaded two rentals to my itunes account on my computer.  I'd like to watch them on our television with our appletv.  I can't find the rental.  Homesharing is turned on, the internet strength is fine.  all of my music shows up on the tv, including the movies I've purchased, but I can't find my rentals. 
    Thanks for any help

  • We have purchased a movie on Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC

    We have purchased a movie via Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC iTunes

    Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
    What is your speed via speedtest.net
    1080p requires 8mbps
    720p needs 6mbps
    You can change to SD in settings
    Interference can cause issues, verify via istumbler or netstumbler
    Should be using ISPs DNS (settings - network - DNS should be automatic)

  • How do I watch a rented movie on Apple TV

    I rented a movie. Began to watch and had to stop. 15 minutes later, I went back to watch but cannot find rented movie.

    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.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    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.

  • HT1577 I am having trouble downloading rented movies.

    Help $$$ going down the drain.
    I am having trouble downloading rented movies. It tells me it is going to take 150 hours to download a 1gig movie. I am using a macbook pro. My internet is hight speed broadband and is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this problem? this has happened twice now.
    Cheers

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • HT4428 No aduio when playing renting movies on Apple TV 2 gen

    No aduio when renting movies on Apple TV 2 gen, Previews have sound but once purchased (rented) no sound. I have Sony WEGA 3LCD about 6 years old.

    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.

  • Need help with rented movies and Apple TV

    I rented two movies from the iTunes Store from my laptop rather than my Apple TV. I cannot get the rented movies to show up on my Apple TV. I've tried to "move" the two movies from my laptop to Apple TV via the Apple TV tab in iTunes where it shows both movies under a "Rented Movies" section and gives me the option to "move" each one to my Apple TV, but when I click on each movie to move it to the Apple TV and then hit "Apply," nothing happens (at least as far as I can tell). Is there someplace special I need to find rented movies using my Apple TV remote? I clearly need help, please!

    Hi Winston,
    I have purchased the third generation of Apple TV but have not installed it yet, so I am still using my second generation Apple TV, for which I posed this question. Is the answer different when using Apple TV II?

  • 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.

  • 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)
