Why won't my rented movie synch from ipad to computer?

When I download a rented movie onto my ipad it no longer syncs to my dell laptop and so doesn't get onto my iphone. This used to work but now it doesn't. Also, my ipad seems to think it has way more video on it than it really does -- is this a related problem? The color bar at the bottom of the screen that shows how much space is taken up with video shows way too much video if I try to sync even one tv show. Help!

Films that you rent and download directly on the iPad cannot then be transferred to a different device - if you want to be able to copy rentals to other devices then you need to rent and download it via your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415

HT2666 Why won't my rented movie play?

I'm trying to play my rented movie for a second time within the 48 hour period in Australian, but when I click play, nothing happens, over and over. Tried turning it off and on etc. Anyone have any fixes for this?

I probably should add to it's on my apple tv. I'm a savvy user, so the normal answers probably won't help as I've already tried everything obvious.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Rented movies can only be played on the device they are rented on (excepting computers)

Why won't my rented movie show up on my ipad?

I've rented plenty of movies before so I know how it's supposed to work. I rented the movie, moved it to the iPad, synced, and my purple video bar goes up to show the movie is syncing, but when it says it's finishing the sync, the purple video bar suddenly goes way down and it doesn't put the movie onto the ipad. HOWEVER, on my imac in itunes, it shows the video is on my ipad. But, look in Videos on the ipad and it isn't there. I tried searching my ipad for the movie, and got nothing. It isn't there. So, i went back to delete the movie from the ipad and was going to sync and then move it back to the ipad and sync again, but now i get a message saying that if i delete the movie from my ipad i'll have to rent the movie again. ***? It shows the movie is on the ipad, but seriously... it isn't. My IOS is up to date.

No...rentals will still appear in the Videos app and like you said, a Spotlight Search should reveal them if they are actually on the iPad.
You did try the basic stuff, like close the videos app, reboot the iPad? You should ba able to "move" the rental back to iTunes on your iMac without penalty of having to rent it again.
From the iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ web site. I changed some of the type to italics for emphasis.
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 Why won't my rented movie download?

I rented dark knight rises it won't play it's stuck on processing. What do I do?

Please turn off your caps lock. All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many will not read such posts.
If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
There is no need to keep re-buying it.

Why won't a Rented movie will not restart?

Rented a movie through iTunes I stopped it and now it will not restart

Welcome to the Apple community Triley937.
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.
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.

HT1202 I get how you can transfer purchases from a device to computer but what about the hundreds of songs on my iPad that were from CDs and non purchased? How can you move them from iPAd to computer if it wants to erase and sync?

I am needing to transfer ALL content, not just purchased, to new computer and it wants to erase and sync because device is associated with another Library. Please help!

What was the source to get that content onto the iPad?
There has to be a middleman to get from CD to iPad - use
backup of that to get content to new computer.

Moving music from iPad to computer

My mother bought an iPad2 about a month ago and downloaded all her music from her computer to the iPad2 with my help. Recently, her computer went nuts and she had to completely wipe it clean so she lost all of her iTunes music files. She asked me if there was a way that she could take the music from the iPad2 and download it back onto the computer. I have been told that this is impossible to do. Does anyone know if you can do this and if you can, could you give me detailed instructions on how to do so?
Thanks!

This is a recommended method to move music from iPad to computer:
Step 1. Turn off automatic syncing in iTunes, do this through iTunes Preferences > Devices > check “Prevent iOS hardware from syncing automatically”, then quit iTunes
Step 2. Download iStonsoft iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer and install it
Step 3. Connect the iPad to the computer by USB data cable
Step 4. Run iStonsoft iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer and click the arrow next to the iOS devices name, then click the arrow next to “Media” and then again next to “iTunes_Control”
Step 5. Drag the entire “Music” folder to a location on the desktop, this is all of your music and it may take a while to transfer
Step 6. Wait a while,Finish!you success to transfer music from iPad to computer
Tip: iPod and iPhone is also the same way,you can also transfer photos,video.etc

Why won't Apple Mail utilize addresses from Apple Contacts ?

Why won't Apple Mail utilize addresses from Apple Contacts ?
Some of the people in my contacts have multiple e-mail addresses. Using contacts from within Apple Mail I can see these e-mail addresses. I then select the e-mail address I need to use and it is highlighted in blue. However, when I drag that e-mail address into the e-mail it uses the first e-mail address on the list and does NOT use the one that is highlighted.
This worked perfectly with good old Snow Leopard. Why doesn't it work now? What is the procedure for selecting an e-mail address that is not the first one in contacts ?

To see if there's a recovery volume installed reboot with the Option key held down and see what volumes are shown that you can book from. If there is a recovery volume it will be displayed. The arrow keys can be used to moved to the desired volume and the Enter or Return key to start the boot.
Yes I did that. I don't no why, but I have no recovery volume.
However, I do have mavericks on a USB flash drive. I booted from the flash drive and followed your procedure. This did not fix my Mail problem.
I notice now that after I drag an e-mail address into the header there is a small down arrow next to the incorrect e-mail address, this allows me to choose from a small group including the correct e-mail. I'm just wondering, perhaps this Is the way Apple Mail works in Mavericks.
