Can't view a movie I purchased from iTunes

I have purchased Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay from the iTunes store. The first time I bought it via the apple TV menu and tried watching it after it finished downloading. All I got was a white screen, no sound, no video but it did have the chapters so I could skip through the movie. I figured something went wrong so I had them cancel the charge and than reordered it via the iTunes store from my iMac. I still can't view it on my apple TV all I still get is a white screen with no video or sound. I can view it fine from my iMac but not from my Apple TV. Every other movie in my iTunes library seems to view just fine on my Apple TV including some that I have bought from the iTunes store. Has anyone seen this or have any idea what is going on?

restarting the Apple TV fixed it. Thanks not sure why it didn't occur to me to try that. All the years of PC use before going Apple should have trained me to try a reboot.
Thanks

  • How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?

    How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad?  Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this?  What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad.  HELP!

    The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
    If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
    If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.

    On my iPad, when I try to open a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get "The requested URL was not found on this server."  It's on my laptop but when I play it there, it 'jerks' every couple of seconds.  How can I fix both these issues?  Thanks!!

  • Can I use debit card for purchasing from iTunes in India?

    Can I use debit card for purchasing from iTunes in India?

    Hi
    There is a small discussion that iTunes takes debit card with a Visa/Mastercard logo.  I have no idea what the banking rules are in India.  But this may another option to try.

  • I can't uncheck movies I purchased from iTunes

    The check mark next to a movie name is suppose to determine if the movie will sync or remain in yoru library but
    not sync, right?
    I can uncheck movies I made myself and they won't sync, which is normal.
    But when I try to uncheck a movie I purchased from the iTunes store, it ALWAYS syncs.. It wasn't
    like this before.. Is this a new bug?
    I want to keep purchased movies in my library but NOT sync. Only way is to sync then delete from my iPad,
    but next time I sync the movie comes back.

  • I can't read my eBooks I purchase from iTunes on my desktop or laptop.  Do I need to go Amazon?  Kindle?

    Is there a future upgrade or availability to read eBooks purchased from iTunes on my desktop or laptop Mac?
    If not, I am just going to get the free Kindle application and buy all of my ebooks from Amazon as I can read them on any Mac.
    I purchased a book from Apple yesterday so that I could read it as a break during my work day at my office and it would not open.  I checked and sure enough, you can't read books on your desktop Mac using Apple software.  I tried the Adobe Digital software and a couple of others but the protection on the ebook prevented anything but my iPad or, if I had one, iPhone from reading it.
    Considering that I spent many thousands on getting the best Macs for work and only hundreds on the pad, it is just a little irritating that I can't read a book on the pro machinery but can on the consumer toy.

    We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits).  Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
    You might also see what your library can offer.  My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too.  Free!

  • HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

    I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
    However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
    Help Please!

    The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • HT1390 i can not find the movies i rent from itunes in library.

    i tried to rent a movie from itunes. First they charged me the same movie two times. Second i can not find the movie i was charged two in my itune library or my iphone. I tried to rent it again, but they asked me to pay some movie for the third time. What **** is going on here?

    Not all content types are available in all countries - in each country Apple can only sell what they are licensed to (and in some cases what a country's laws allows them to). A list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599
    Do you have access to other music and film purchase download sites ?

  • How can I modify a song I purchased from Itunes?

    I'm trying to alter a song I purchased from the Itunes store. Is there a way to shorten or cut out parts of a song? What software would I need to do this? I've downloaded Jasmine and Audacity, but can't seem to get it to work.
    Dick Skover

    Thanks Michael,
    I did what you suggested and everything worked well. I was able to shorten the song in Jasmine, but once saved, I wasn't able to bring it into my slideshow in Imovie. I believe it was saved as an AIFF file after I shortened it. Any ideas as to why I can't import or open it?

  • I can't find the movie I downloaded from itunes

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  Took a long time.  I can not find
    The movie now.

    It should have downloaded into the Videos app :
    If you can't find it there then have you got any age ratings restrictions set in Settings > General > Restrictions that might be hiding it ? If not then can you find it by name via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right).

  • Can you watch a movie you rented from iTunes on your apple TV?

    I rented a movie from Itunes on my Mac. Can I watch it on my Apple TV somehow.  I am at home now and don't want to sit and look at my computer screen.
    Is there a way to stream it to the apple tv?

    Assuming home sharing is enabled, the rental will appear on your Apple TV once it has fully downloaded on your Mac.

  • HT201272 How can I recover music I've purchased from iTunes store when my iTunes cannot find the file

    I cannot re-download music I purchased from the iTunes store.  I followed the instructions from iTunes support but that did not work. 
    When I find the music in the iTunes store under purchases, it states "downloaded" and will not let me re-download it.
    What other tricks are there to use.  I do not have the music on an iPod or CD because I always thought that once you bought it on iTunes, you could always re-download it if you got a new computor, etc.

    If they appear under the Purhcased link as 'downloaded' then do you still have them listed in your iTunes library (where you would click on them to play them) ? If youdo then iTunes assumes that you still have them somewhere, and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting one of them from your library and it should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading.
