Sort by rent vs. buy
Is there a way within iTunes to sort the movies and TV shows depending on whether you can rent vs. buy them? Many of the movies that I'd like to view are buy only and I can only find out after I pull up the movie detail.

Click on this link and it should open iTunes and give you a search screen in it (I don't know if/how you can access the screen directly within iTunes) : itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch
On that search screen you can select Films/Movies on the left-hand side of the screen (instead of 'All Results'), and then on the next screen tick the 'search films that acre available for rental' tick box and then click 'search'

Thanks! It is odd however that I can't "drive" down to this power search screen without the link above.
Also, the link does not appear to work on iPhones, or iPads.
But works fine on my iMac.
Thanks again.

The link you sent worked for me for a while, but now when I cut and paste it into my browser, it doesn't bring anything up anymore. Is there still a way to search for rentals only? thanks
Are you using Apple Music (you have the current version of iTunes, version 12.2, installed ?) e.g. do you have 'show Apple Music' ticked on the General tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) ? With that 'on' that link doesn't work, but unticking it gets it to work for me.
Thank you! That worked perfectly.
