How to Rent a Movie with iTunes

How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer

iTunes can be downloaded to a PC and is compatible with Windows.

You can use iTunes even if you don't own an iPod or iPad.

1.In iTunes on your computer, click iTunes Store.Some of the newer computers out there, usually the smaller ones, are starting to appear on the market without CD or DVD drives.  This is a convenient way to watch a movie on-the-go if you don't have a DVD drive to play a movie from disk. 

 

2.In the iTunes Store, search for a movie that you want to rent.

 

3.Click Rent. Your movie will begin to download immediately.

 

Once the movie is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer.  If you own an iPod, iPad or Apple TV, you can transfer the rental and take it with you commuting or on vacation.

To transfer the rental:

 

1.Connect the device and select it in iTunes.

 

2.Click the Movies tab (for iPod), or the Videos tab (iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV)

 

3.Select the movie, and then click Move.

 

4.After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
