How to Sync iTunes Movies from Computer to iPhone 6 (Plus)?

Apple has unveiled two new iPhones, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. Along with larger screens and a completely new iPad-style design with an ultra thin body and rounded corners, the two new phones offer faster processors, better cameras, and Apple’s new Apple Pay payment system.

When you want to go out and have a walk, just take your iPhone 6 (Plus) with you for movie entertainment! If you transfer iTunes movie purchases from Computer to iPhone 6 (Plus), it’s much easier. But for iTunes movie rentals, once you transfer them to your iPhone, they may be moved from the computer.  And when you start to watch one copy of the movie the 24h countdown will begin but the availability of the other copy will remain untouched for the rest of the 30 days.

Why are there so many restrictions for iTunes movie rentals? Because they are limited due to the DRM protection. Before transferring iTunes movie rentals from Computer to iPhone 6 (Plus), it’s sensible to remove iTunes DRM protections first.

TunesKit iTunes DRM Removal for Mac is a highly recommended software to help us remove the Fairplay DRM protections from iTunes movie rentals. If you are using a PC, you can’t miss Aimersoft DRM Media Converter. After DRM removal, you can extend the 24h limit of iTunes movie rentals and backup them in your computer forever.

    I’ve tried to look for a best program to transfer my videos from PC to iPhone, after much research, trial and error, I finally found an app named AnyTrans by iMobie, it has simple UI and is very easy to operate. Not only your movies, but also all the files inside your iDevice can be transferred, and vice versa. Highly recommend to those people who have the same demand. http://www.imobie.com/anytrans/
