I rented a movie and it says I did, where is it and how do I play it. It does not show up in the movies tab, this supposed to be easy. I just dont get it.

1. From the iTunes Home screen, You need to click on "Libraries" on the upper right navigation bar under the "Search store" box


2. On the next page, click on the pull down menu (Music is the default) on the upper left and select "Movies"


3. Now in the middle of navigation bar, click on "Rentals"


All your rentals will then appear.


This is a major workflow flaw from Apple. Good at hardware, awful at software application flow design.


I hope this helps. All previous instructions by people on this thread are totally incorrect or outdated.

It should appear on the row of icons/movies that appear along the top of the Apple TV display (when you are at the starting level of the menu system -- you can "jump" to this level of the menu system by holding down on the remote's "MENU" button for longer than two seconds).


If it doesn't appear there then something is amiss OR you have waited too long to view the movie (you have 30 days to start the playback or 24 hours once you've begun playback).
