Purchase or Rent Videos and Download Video Podcasts from the
iTunes Store
To purchase videos—movies, TV shows, and music videos—or rent movies online from
the iTunes Store (part of iTunes and available in some countries only), you sign in to
your iTunes Store account, find the videos you want, and then buy or rent them.
A rented movie expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it
(rental requirements may vary outside the U.S.), whichever comes first. Expired rentals
are deleted automatically. These terms apply to U.S. rentals. Rental terms vary among
countries.
To enter the iTunes Store, open iTunes and click iTunes Store (under Store) on the left
side of the iTunes window.
You can view a movie trailer or TV show preview by clicking the button next to it.
Purchased videos appear when you select Movies or TV shows (under Library) or
Purchased (under Store) in the list on the left side of the iTunes window. Rented videos
appear when you select Rented Movies (under Library).
Some items have other options, such as TV shows that let you buy a Season Pass for
all episodes.
Video podcasts appear along with other podcasts in the iTunes Store. You can
subscribe to them and download them just as you would other podcasts. You don’t
need an iTunes Store account to download podcasts. See “Purchase Songs and
Download Podcasts Using the iTunes Store” on page 17.
