Rent movies from the iTunes Store on PC
You can rent and play movies from the iTunes Store on your computer, iPod, iPhone or iPad. If you have an Apple TV, you can use it to rent items and play them on your home theatre system.
You can also download a rented movie directly to any authorised computer or device, including movies you’ve already started watching, provided the rental hasn’t expired.
Rent items from the iTunes Store using your computer
In the iTunes app
on your PC, click Store in the navigation bar.
Search for a movie you want to rent, then select it.
Click the Rent button (if you don’t see this button, the item isn’t available for rent).
The movie is downloaded to your iTunes library. A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 48 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically.
Note: Prices shown are for illustration purposes only. Actual prices and currencies vary according to item and country or region.
Transfer rentals from your iTunes library to your iOS device or Apple TV
In addition to downloading rented movies from the iTunes Store directly to a device, you can also transfer them from your computer to your iPod touch, iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, if your device can play the rented item. This is useful if you want to watch a movie on a device but aren’t connected to the Internet.
If you have iPhone 3GS (or earlier) or iPod touch (third generation or earlier), you can also transfer rentals from your device to your computer.
Connect your device to your computer.
In the iTunes app
on your PC, click the Device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
Click Movies.
Select the rented item.
Click Move.
Note: Some movies in the iTunes Store are available for rent in HD-quality format. You can only transfer HD rentals to iOS devices that can display HD content.
For information about renting movies using your device, see the documentation for the device.
