Watching Rented Movies and TV Shows

You can rent movies from the iTunes Store and watch them on iPod touch. You can download rented movies and TV shows directly to iPod touch, or transfer movies from iTunes on your computer to iPod touch. (Rented movies and TV shows may not be available in all countries or regions.)

See “Purchasing or Renting Videos” on page 144.

A movie or TV show must be completely downloaded before you can start watching it. You can pause a download and resume it later.

Rented movies and TV shows expire after a certain time, and once you start a movie or TV show you have a limited amount of time to finish watching it. The time remaining appears near the title. Rented items are automatically deleted when they expire. Before renting a movie or TV show, check the iTunes Store for the rental period.

View a rented movie or TV show: Tap Videos (tap More first, if Videos isn’t visible), then select the movie or TV show.

On iPod touch 2nd generation and iPod touch 3rd generation, you can transfer rented movies between iPod touch and your computer. On iPod touch 4th generation, you can transfer rented movies between iPod touch and your computer only if they were rented in iTunes on your computer. Movies rented on iPod touch 4th generation cannot be transferred to your computer.

Transfer a rented movie between iPod touch and your computer:

1Connect iPod touch to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list, then click Movies.

3Click Move next to the item you want to transfer, then click Apply. Your computer must be connected to the Internet.

Watching Videos on a TV

You can connect iPod touch to your TV and watch your videos on the large screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other authorized iPod touch compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal Dock to connect iPod touch to your TV. The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote that lets you control playback from a distance.

Apple cables and docks are available for purchase separately. Go to www.apple.com/ipodstore (may not be available in all countries or regions) or check with your local Apple retailer.
