Watching Rented Movies
You can rent movies in standard (480p) definition from the iTunes Store and watch 
them on iPod touch. You can download rented movies directly to iPod touch, or 
transfer them from iTunes on your computer to iPod touch. You can also transfer 
rented movies back to iTunes from iPod touch. (Rented movies aren’t available in all 
regions.)
The movie must be fully downloaded before you can start watching. You can pause 
a download and resume it later. Rented movies expire after a certain number of days, 
and once you start a movie you have a limited amount of time to finish watching it. 
The time remaining appears near a movie’s title. Movies are automatically deleted 
when they expire. Check the iTunes Store for the expiration time before renting a 
movie.
Transfer rented movies to iPod touch:  Connect iPod touch to your computer.  
Then select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar, click Movies, and select the rented movies 
you want to transfer. Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
View a rented movie:  Choose Videos and select a movie.
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 in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/ipodstore (not 
available in all countries).
Deleting Videos from iPod touch
You can delete videos from iPod touch to save space.
Delete a video:  In the videos list, swipe left or right over the video, then tap Delete.
When you delete a video (other than rented movies) from iPod touch, it isn’t deleted 
from your iTunes library and you can sync the video back to iPod touch later. If you 
don’t want to sync the video back to iPod touch, set iTunes to not sync the video.  
See “What You Need” on page 7.
Important:  
If you delete a rented movie from iPod touch, it’s deleted permanently and 
cannot be transferred back to your computer.
