Watching a rented movie on iPad that was rented on Apple TV

I rented a movie on Apple TV. Because my Internet is to slow it returned it without watching the movie. I now can't find it in purchase history or video app on iPad or iTunes. What should I do?

Here's what it says on the terms of sale for Movie Rentals:
You must be connected to the iTunes Store when moving or streaming movies. Once a movie is moved, it is no longer viewable on the sending device. You may only move movies to another device from your Mac or Windows computer. Movies downloaded directly to your Apple TV may not be moved. You have thirty (30) days after downloading a movie to begin viewing. Once you begin viewing, you have twenty-four (24) hours to view the movie (the “Viewing Period”). You may view the movie an unlimited number of times during the Viewing Period. Movies are not viewable after the thirty (30) day period. Stopping, pausing or restarting a movie does not extend the available time for viewing. If you move a movie to an iPod or iPhone and then use iTunes to restore the iPod or iPhone before you finish watching it, the movie will be deleted and will not be recoverable. This also applies to choosing Settings > Reset > Erase all content and settings on iPod touch and iPhone.
Broadband Internet connection required. For more information about Movie Rentals, please read the iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n307257
The Apple Store implies that once you download the movie--completely and in full--that you need not be connected to the internet to watch it (how, after all, would you watch it on an iPod if you needed that connection?). But this is still new and one never knows what kind of bugs the program might have. The "not connected" message may mean that, for one reason or another, the iTunes program on your computer doesn't think the movie was fully downloaded even though it was.

  • Rented movie in iPad won't play in Apple TV 2

    Today I rented Unstoppable in my iPad form the iTunes Store, the idea was to use airplay to send it to my Apple TV 2 and view it on my TV.
    Every time I try to use Airplay to stream the movie from my Ipad the Apple TV 2 returns the message that is not authorize to play the content from the iPad.
    Anybody have any idea how to fix this?, I am using the Apple HDMI cable and both devices are login to the same Apple ID. I have restore to factoring settings my Apple TV 2 and restarted my iPad several times, I also have log out of my Apple ID and log back in in both devices.
    Do not know what else to try any help would be appreciates.
    Thanks on advance WFGE

    False, per the link provided above:
    "If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer."  The only way to transfer a rented movie is if you rent it from your computer, and then it can be moved around to other devices but (a) it can only exist on one device at a time, and (b) you cannot move it to Apple TV 2 or 3.  It is odd that you can't do what you want, but I'm not a lawyer ;)

    i'm renting SD movies from iT so copyright issues are in the full control of AAPL on all AAPL devices
    I don't know the legal agreements between Apple and movie studios, but with a rental you don't own the material so I suspect that is the difference.  With a purchase you're given some leeway that you don't have with a rental.

    It has functioned as described; rented iT movies on iP and played through ATV to Video Monitor on many occasions in the past - as recent as 8 days ago.
    Your original post mentioned that purchases worked, not rentals.  Have you ever seen a rental stream from your i-device to Apple TV?  I wouldn't think so, given Apple's statement above.
    MickCharles wrote:
    All other streaming functions from iP and iPh to ATV; music, photos, and home-made video function
    These would not be subject to the same copyright issues as a movie.
    You can try taking this up with Apple, and depending on who you communicate with (and your approach) may determine your success to get a refund.  Apple does state that you can't stream a movie from your device to ATV, but perhaps not clearly enough (which you might use to your advantage).

  • Watching Rented Movies on Ipad

    How do I transfer a rented movie from Itunes that is currently on my PC Desktop to my Ipad so that I can watch the movie on my Ipad?

    Yes, if you rent and download it on your Mac then you can watch it on the Mac or the iPad - if you rent and download it directly on the iPad then you can only watch it on the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415

  • I would like to know if my mom can share a tv series that she downloaded on her IPAD with her apple id with my wife.   My wife would like to watch the tv series on her ipad that has a different apple id.

    I would like to know if my mom can share a tv series that she downloaded on her IPAD with her apple id with my wife.   My wife would like to watch the tv series on her ipad that has a different apple id.  Is it possible to share something downloaded from one apple id with another apple id?

    Are it's amazing what going to the apple classes can do for you, lol the problem was air play has turned off no doubt when the upgrades were done, but thanks to the training apple gave me I was able to reason the problem out yah! I love my apple.

  • Can I transfer music that is only on my iPad that WAS NOT purchased from iTunes to my iTunes account on new computer?

    I've had my iPad 2 for about four years now and I can tell that the interface is being very slow and that the screen does not always react when I tap on it, meaning I may have to get a new one sooner or later.
    My biggest problem is that on my iPad, I have all of the Beatles' CDs, some of which are from my own personal copies and some are from my former local public library. Ever Since I copied all these CDs onto my iPad, I've moved to a new state and got a new laptop, thus starting with an iTunes account that only has music I purchased from the iTunes Store on it, and no Beatles. The local libraries where I live now do not offer any CDs for borrowing, so I have no way of getting some of the CDs I don't own for free. I really do not want to purchase a bunch of albums from iTunes, as well.
    Is there any way to get the Beatles music that is only on my iPad that was not purchased from iTunes onto my iTunes account without removing it from my iPad? Thanks for your help!

    Then the latter part of my first reply which is repeated here:
    - If you follow these instructions the iPod will be updated when the instructions say to restore.

  • How can i activate an ipad that was attached to someones icloud account.  I am not able to reach the person to have them release it.

    how can i activate an ipad that was attached to someones icloud account.  I am not able to reach the person to have them release it

    You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.

  • Will an iPad that was purchased as a gift in the US work in the UK?

    Will an iPad that was purchased as a gift in the US work in the UK?

    Yes, you will just need a plug adapter to charge it (you don't need a converter).
    If it's an AT&T 3G model then you should be able to just swap in a local micro-sim card; if it's a Verizon 3G model then they are CDMA based and don't use micro-sim cards, so you won't be able to directly use it on 3G networks here (you could use an iPhone as mobile hotspot for it or get a mifi device).

  • Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone)

    Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone) so that person can find their iPad coz the police would of taken mine if I did not show proof of purchase

    You are not communicating with Apple by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user and cannot fix anything.
    The Find My iPad service may have indeed been accurate to the limits of the technology. Unless the iPad was a 3G unit, location is determined based on the nearest WiFi router which in your case could just happened to have been yours. The police may be the ones who need to "fix" their understanding of how the technology works and its limitations.
    If you want to provide feedback to Apple on the matter, you can do so via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    but to be of any good you'll have to provide them with more precise details.
    Regards.

    i rented movie on ipad. when i click play it says cannot open. any suggestions?

    At this point I would contact iTunes by:
    https://getsupport.apple.com/ServiceOptionAction.action
    iTunes > iTunes store > connecting and downloading > movie rentals > chat or email with iTunes.
    They should tell you what to do or how to fix it.

  • Itune rented movies to ipad

    Itune rented movies to IPAD. I have downloaded and moved many movies to ipad for my travels. I just downloaded 2 rented movies today to my imac, and now it will not let me move to my ipad. Itunes claims I have already downloaded to a device. I have used this process many times. Did something change?
