HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?

Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?

Hi fiercestorm,
It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -

  • TS3623 Why does a rented movie not play, error message says, your apple tv is not authorized to play this content?

    Why do I get an error message after renting a movie on apple tv, " this tv is not able to play this move"

    I may have answered my own question.  After some more research, it seems that the videos that won't play have a FairPlay value associated with them and they were all purchased prior to June 2009.  Now I just need to figure out how to get around this.

  • TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

    Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

  • HT1657 Rented movie stops playing saying "unable to download"

    Rented "Dallas Buyers Club" and it stopped playing with 20 minutes left to go! "Unable to play" pops up on the screen. Tried to stop & go back to the same time but same thing happened 4 times. How do I get store credit?

    Check speedtest.net to see if connection is adequete.
    Check istumbler or net netstumbler to verify any network interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • HT204370 Rented movie stopped playing

    I was watching a rented movie thru Apple TV and it stopped playing with a message that Apple TV was not connected to the internet. I check everything and it is fine. How can I restart a partially watched rented movie? All I can find is the option to rent it again.

    Yes you'll get charged.
    If you're in US you have 30 days to START watching but once you do you have 24 hours to watch - too short IMO.
    In UK you have 48 hours to watch after choosing play.
    Poor experience regardless - raise a query ticket via itunes store support or through your itunes account pages.

  • Why does my i pod stop playing and go to charge mode

    why does my ipod stop playing and go to the charge mode?

    Hey there gillly,
    It sounds like your iPod Classic is not playing back your music correctly. You should use the following article to help resolve the issue here, named:
    iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Start by resetting your iPod, and work your way through the article as needed:
    Reset
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • HT4628 Why does a rented movie say it will load in 3 hours?!

    Why do I get a message on appletv saying the movie will load in 3 hrs?  I have a fast connection and no other devices on network.  This is when renting from iTunes.  Not a common occurrence. Thanks!

    That may have to do with demand from the store as much as anything else.     2 hours movie typically is about 4.3 GB especially in HD.   At FiOS speeds of 15 Mbps, it would take 2 1/4 hours to download.  If you give it at least 25% download, you won't excede the buffer and the speed of the connection.  iTunes may not stream in the conventional sense, in that every bit you download can be portrayed the moment it downloads.     That's why I say, give it a little buffer room, and then start playing.

  • Why does my ipod touch stop playing songs when i click to play, it plays for a few seconds sometimes longer and then goes onto the next song. Help!

    Please help,my ipod touch stops playing songs sometimes a few seconds in and then other times halfway. It cant be the song because different songs do it each time. Ive tried to restore it and it makes no difference :(
    Please help as this problem gets very annoying. Thanks!

    Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod and sync stuff to your iPod?  If you restore from backup there may be some corruption that is now in the backup.

  • Songs stop playing randomly in the middle of playback

    I just upgraded to 7.6, and now I can only listen to between 5 and 30 seconds of any track before the audio just cuts out. It's as if someone pulled my headphones out of the computer, but it happens when I'm just using PC speakers, too.
    * The song continues to "play," that is, the progress bar continues to move forward without any audio actually coming out.
    * If I drag the progress slider a bit, pause the song, restart it, or jump to the next track in the list, the audio restarts for another 5 to 30 seconds.
    * If I don't touch anything, when the song gets to the end (no audio), it will progress to the next track. After about 5 seconds, the next track will play for a few seconds before cutting out.
    * One of the stereo "sides" (left or right) will cut out before the other one.
    * I have the latest audio driver.
    * I have the latest iTunes.
    * I have no third-party plugins.
    * I have enabled "Maximum Hardware Acceleration"
    * The "Sound Enhancer" in iTunes is off.
    * I have the latest version of DirectX
    This is incredibly annoying. What's up?

    Gosh, guys, thanks for all the great help.
    It's the Cisco Systems VPN client. Whenever it's connected, anytime another program makes a noise, iTunes stops playing music.
