I accidentally downloaded video onto wrong device....help?
I accidentally downloaded a rented movie on my laptop instead of ipad. I am traveling and want it on my ipad. Can I move it or only view via home sharing when connected to wifi?

Hello adkotis,
You can transfer the rented movie to the device, which will MOVE it from the computer to the iPad, but not copy it. Heres an article on how to do that:

Can I play my rental on more than one device?
- 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.
Take care,
Sterling
