Unable to find rented movies from itunes

Once I download the rented movie, I am unable to find it on my mac book pro.  The library only lists TV shows, podcasts, music.  My purchased TV shows are listed, but where do I find my rented movies?  Thanks!

Unfortunately, rental movies do not appear in Front Row. I believe this is because of the inability of Front Row to alert you (and have you click "okay") to the rental agreement requirements. It may also be because Front Row does not give iTunes feedback about when you started playing the movie and/or when you're done. If you would like to see rental movies in iTunes, as do quite a few people who post in this forum, I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback (since there's no form specifically for Front Row):

  • TS4526 Can't find rented movies from iTunes store

    Rented a movie on Saturday from my Apple TV.  I checked downloads from settings and when I did this, the wheel just kept on turning.  Tried this multiple times.  I even waited 1 hour.  Changed my setting to regular definiton so that it would download faster. Still no results.  Where can I find the movie.   My acct was charged since I received an email stating that I had purchased this movie. 
    Now what? I can't seem to contact the Itunes store to ask them?
    Thank you for any help

    I'm guessing you've given up by now or found it yourself but I just had this problem with my iPad and Macbook Air. If you go into iTunes, navigate to the library, then toggle the upper left window to 'Movies' instead of 'Music', the center menu should change to a handful of movie-related choices.  The first option is 'Rented' and that's where I found my rental.

  • HT1657 cannot find rented movie from iTunes store

    I recently downloaded a rented movie, but was interupted durning its download. I reinstated the download but now I cannot find the rented movie to watch it.  Where is it?

    If you rented it directly on the iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app - if you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • Have iPod Touch and want to view rented movies from iTunes on our TV

    We have an iPod Touch. I rented movies from iTunes. We would like to connect the iPod to the television so the whole family can watch at the same time. We did a little research and was told to buy a "Eforcity Premium Retractable Apple iPod AV Composite Cable, White [Compatible with: iPod with Color Display / including iPod Photo / iPod Video (including U2 Special Editions of iPod Photo &Video)]" which we did. In our research it said in the instructions it said to access the "TV Out Video Setting". My husband can't find it and hence is unable to get it to work. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

    I don't think that cable is compatible with the iPhone or the iPod touch. I know the old Apple AV cable wont work with the iPod touch, you need either a Apple Composite AV Cable or an Apple Component AV Cable. See here for more info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?locale=en_US.

  • 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.

  • Trouble renting movie from itunes

    Has anybody ever received a message when renting movies from iTunes directly on to Apple TV, 2nd G, Error-unable to download content, try again later.  I have not rented anything in a while and I do not seem to be able to move past this point in the rental process.  The movie is behaving like it has been rented, as it is showing I have 29 days to view.  Upon pressing play, it starts showing the loading, and then instead of starting to play the movie or provide an estiamte of how long until it can be played, it goes to the error message above.

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I did pull all cables and reboot the router.  Some additional information I found as I tried other aspects of Apple TV.  Via iTunes I could download and watch theater trailers.  On You Tube I could watch Selected content.  However, when I tried a You Tube Search, for a topic, I receieved yet another strange message indicating a connection issue.  However, mutliple tasks on the menu do connect to the internet and work fine.  I have rebooted the Apple TV several times.  It almost seems if the software of firmware is corrupted.  Does anybody have any additonal thoughts or similar experiences.

  • 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.

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • HT4095 Watching rented movie from iTunes on my iPad in the middle of nowhere...

    If I'm driving in the middle of nowhere will a rented movie from iTunes play fine on my iPad? Or not if the internet connection is potentially intermittent or sporadic?

    As long as the movie has completely downloaded, you will not need an Internet connection at all.
    Regards.

  • HT1390 Does it use data to watch a rented movie from iTunes on IPad? Is it streaming or just downloaded?

    You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.

  • HT1657 Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on a plane !

    Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on an airplane ?

    As long as the films have been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them without an internet connection.

  • Do you have to have an internet connection to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    I rented a movie from itunes and tried to watch in on a plane.  But a message came up that itunes could not connect to the internet.  I did not realize you had to have an internet connection to watch a rented movie.  Is this correct?

    I have experienced this on several occassions and after being unable to watch three of the six movies I rented from iTunes on the return leg of a six hour flight, I finally decided to explore a little more to determine how to "fix" this. I have yet to find a definitive answer but at this point I am 100% certain that you "need" an internet connection to watch a movie. If you have ever downloaded movies on your iPad and tried to BEGIN watching them in flight, imagine your frustration level when the "Content Not Authorized" message appears and you are SOL watching the back of the seat in front of you for six hours. On the initial leg of my West Coast trip, fearing this would happen, I started playing the three movies I might watch on the flight while in the terminal. This of course began the 24 hour countdown. I was rushed on the return leg and neglected to do this. Of course the three remaining movies could not be viewed because the "Content Not Authorized" message appeared.  Upon landing however I was prompted to log into iCloud and sure enough the movies could be played.
    While an internet connection is not required to view movies once they begin, there is clearly some form of authorization taking place and required before they can be played. If you wait until you are cruising along at 30,000 feet, you are SOL and heaven forbid you are on a New York to Seattle flight in the middle seat of a 737 with no in-seat entertainment. It makes for a very long 6.5 hours. 
    The abursdity of this is simply beyond my comprehension. Once you download and pay for the movie (transferred from PC), shouldn't the iPad somehow be intelligent enough to know when you started the movie using its own internal clock or something? Isn't the whole purpose of the iPad to enable me to screw off on a 6-hour flight watching movies and avoiding work? The apparent oversight here is simply impossible to understand given how frequently this must occur. Ten years from now every flight while be equipped with WiFi and this issue will be a thing of the past but what an incredible limitation of an amazing piece of technology. I would be willing to bet that if Jobs had ever been screwed out of $15 for three movies because "Content Not Authorized" appeared on his flight I wouldn't be posting this.
