"Is it possible to keep rented movie from iTunes forever?"

"I heard if you change the date on your computer to the past you can keep an iTunes rental longer so does that work if not is there any other way?"

"Could I record my iTunes rental so I could keep it forever?"

In 2008, Apple announced that they would offer movie/episodes rental service to iTunes users. It means that users can watch movies/TV shows at the cost of a little penny. But the watching time is limited: 30 days to watch, 24 hours in the USA and 48 hours in elsewhere after we start watching. When the time expired, the rentals in your iTunes playlist would disappear automatically. Changing the clock of your computer doesn't make any sense either.

Note: Before renting movies in iTunes Store, you should know clearly about all restrictions about iTunes movie rentals. Click here to know "Top 7 Tips about Renting Movies in iTunes Store".

2. What is the Difference between Rental and Buying Movies on iTunes

As one of the hottest online media stores, iTunes enables users to enjoy tons of the latest and best movies & TV shows by purchasing or renting. But if you are unclear about iTunes purchases and rentals differences and limitations, you are likely to waste your money.

If you know little about iTunes purchases and rentals, in this part you can get informative within the shortest time.

Difference 1. Time of Validity

If you rent a movie or a season from iTunes, you only have 30 days to watch it since the rental day. And once you start watching, you must finish it within 24 hours (in America) and 48 hours (in the rest of the world), or the rental movie will disappear from iTunes playlist when it is expired.

If you purchase a movie from iTunes Store, you can watch it anytime, as many times as you like. And even when you delete it, you can still re-download it without any cost.

Difference 2. Price & Quality

As rental movies and TV shows have time limitation, they are cheaper than iTunes purchases. Rental movies usually cost $1.99-$5.99, and purchased movies are about $9.99-$14.99.

As for the quality of rentals and purchases, they almost have no any differences except that HD rentals can only be played on the computer, iPhone 6/5s/5c/5/4s/4, iPad, iPod touch (the 4th generation or later) or on TV with Apple TV.

Difference 3. The Number of Computers to Play at the Same Time

For iTunes rental movies and TV shows, you can't play them on two or more computers at the same time. Once you authorize another computer and play them on it, the rentals saved on your original downloading computer will be wiped.

However, purchased iTunes movies and TV shows can be played on more than one computer (limit to 5 devices) only if the computer has been authorized by your iTunes (the account used to purchase the movie).
