Why rented movie on iTunes cannot be moved to Apple TV

I recently rented an HD movie using iTunes on my Mac. I waited for the complete download and then tried to move it to Apple TV. I tried this using iTunes, accessing Apple TV device and moving the icon of the movie to apple TV. iTunes does it and start sync but after a few seconds the icon moves back to the left and I do not see the movie in the Apple TV list.
I have to point out that also buying or renting directly from Apple TV doesn't work: it always asks to go to my computer to confirm payment...
I removed Apple TV from the device list on iTunes, and than syncronized it again, but nothing has changed (except for a few hours less in my life I could have spent better)...
Thanks for any suggestions
CD
PS: iTunes version 11.1.3 (8)
OS X version 10.8.5

Well yes I rented in HD, as many times it is stated on Apple website that Apple TV can display and show movies in HD. It is this the issue?
I have to rent it in SD?

  • HT1657 I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?

    What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
    If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
    If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.

  • Rented Movies from iTunes won't transfer to Apple Tv

    Hey guys,
    I'm on a pc...I know it's a swear word hear but I'm trying so hard to talk the wife into an iMac...getting close..LOL. Anyway, I've rented a couple movies via iTunes on my pc (running vista...cough cough..hack hack!!) and can't transfer them to my apple tv. When I click on the apple tv in the device column I only get summary and photo tabs. All the software for iTunes and Apple Tv are up to date and I have also deauthorized and reauthorized my itunes libary. Can anyone offer some help to get these to my apple tv. I really don't want to watch them on my computer screen.
    Thanks
    Stephan

    Morning athos441,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The black unit is the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV.
    The 1st gen Apple TV (silver) is the one that you can move things over to the internal HD on the Apple TV.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

  • Rented movie from iTunes cannot be copied to iPod

    We just rented our first movie from the iTunes store, and are experiencing problems. Our intention was to rent the movie so that we could watch it on our iPod. The problem is that when we try to copy the downloaded rental to the iPod, we get a message saying:
    "This movie was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."
    I have no idea why this is happening. We have the latest version of iPod software and iTunes software, and everything appears to be compatible. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Never mind. 15 minutes of research revealed that we own a 5th generation iPod, which evidently is not compatible with rentals. I am quite annoyed. Thanks Apple, for not making this clear at all in your FAQ. There should be a much more definitive description for compatibility in the FAQ, as I don't know anyone who is aware of which specific 'generation' of iPod they own. I had to go through the huge list of past and present models on the support site before figuring this out.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to get a refund if we have not yet attempted to play the movie on our Windows machine that we rented the movie with?

  • 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.

  • I am unable to move message it cannot be moved to the mailbox trash, why will it not delete my messgages

    I am unable to move message it cannot be moved to the mailbox trash, why will it not delete my messages and how can I delete my messages

    Hi Friend,
    Do you set all the email information correctly?
    Can you send/receive emails? If you are often receiving a message on the screen like "cannot contact the server...", check in Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars >> "your name account", if all the fields are filled properly.
    You must also turn off Restrictions in: Settings >> General >> Restrictions, because have an option " Allow Alterations - Accounts" that it maybe prevent alterations in your email account.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • HT1657 cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv

    cannot rent movie on itunes with apple tv it tells me to go to itunes store on my desktop and everything is upto date here

    Yes that's perfectly possible.
    The drawback is the rental needs to completely download before it will stream to the Apple TV.
    The advantages are it can then be watched on any Apple TV if you have more than one and can be watched as many times as you want (within the rental period) without needing to redownload it everytime.

  • I used to be able to rent movies on iTunes and watch them offline while I'm traveling.  Now I get an error that states I need to be online to watch my rental.  Is there a fix?

    I travel for work so I've enjoyed renting movies on iTunes and then watch them on my laptop or iPad while I'm in the air.  Lately (last month or two), I've not been able to watch them offline and get an error that indicates they cannot be lauched unless I'm online.  I notice that there seem to be many people who also experience this issue.  Has a policy changed?  All of my Apple products and iTunes library are on the latest versions.

    You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Thanks!

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

  • Transfer a rented movie in iTunes to my AppleTV

    I have a rented movie in iTunes. When Apple TV is highlighted under Devices and I click on Movies at the top, I get a place when I can move the movie to the right into the To Apple TV box.  When I click on "Apply" in the lower right corner, however, I get an error message that I am not authorized on Apple TV.
    How do I become authorized on

    I use a program called FotoMagico to create .m4v files of the photos I take on trips and scans of 35 mm slides that I have taken over the years. After the files have been encoded they are downloaded to iTunes and synced to my Apple TV.
    I also post the trip pictures on the Internet using the Host Excellence server.  If you are interested, this is the trip Home Page:
