Watching Itunes Rented Movie on IPAD.

If I rented a movie on Itunes on my PC but then decide I would rather watch the movie on my Ipad how would I go about doing that? Thank You.

Select the iPad from the device list in iTunes, navigate to movie rentals and choose the option to move.

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?

I just had the same problem and someone posted the below, which fixed it!
Deleting the SC Info folder also worked for me. See "Remove the SC info folder" on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389

Is internet connection needed to watch iTunes rented movies on iPhone/iPad?

I am looking into renting some movies from iTunes to watch on a plane on my iPad. I know I need and internet connection to download the rental and it is then store in iTunes but do i need internet connection to start watching the movie? I read somewhere that to begin the 24/48 hour viewing period iTunes needs to connect to the internet to acknowledge that the time has started. Is this the case or is it possible to just start watching the downloaded rentals through iTunes while on a plane with no access to the internet?

I suspect the answer is no as rented movies can be watched on normal iPods with no connectivity. You'll need an active connection during the transfer of the rented movie from iTunes to the device. At the end of the transfer the device will hold the only copy and it can then enforce the playback time limit without needing to "phone home".

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.

Transfer iTunes rented movies to iPad

Hi All,
I have read all the threads on moving rented movies from iTunes library on PC to iPad. Problem is I do not see the "move icon" in the library of movies. I see all 3 rented titles I wish to move. Guidance is appreciated. I am sure it is something simple but yet frustrating.
Thanks!

You can Move movie to iPad.

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.

Yes, start the movie on your iPad and tap on the AirPlay icon and chose AppleTV from the list.

Did you look for the movie in the Videos App? Movies do not play in iTunes on the iPad - they play in the Videos App.

Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

It says
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
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.

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.

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.

Can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer

can I use home sharing to watch a rented movie on itunes on another computer (I already have home sharing with other computers set up, but I don't see it.)?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.
