On rented movies, why do subtitles remain onscreen, even after the foreign language part is over?

I've never had this problem before, until the last two movies I've rented. Subtitles come on during a foreign language part, and then remain onscreen indefinitely. I've turned off closed captioning on both my Apple TV and on my TV, to no avail.
I would think the subtitles would be 'embedded' in the movie (as part of the movie image); these appear to be closed captioning, generated by the Apple TV or myTV.
Pretty annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thx

I see the same problem. In fact you can see the movie if you click on the arrow next to the iPhone icon under "Devices" in iTunes. then click on "rented movies". the old movie will still be there, although you can't remove it or even un-check it. My guess is that it will delete itself after the rental period, but this is clearly a bug. To avoid this in the future I will try to move the video off my iphone before deleting.

  • Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later."

    Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK.  The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date.  I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • After resuming a rented movie my apple tv had to re-download the entire movie.

    As above, I rented a movie and was half way through. I tried to resume from the last position about 24hours later and the Apple TV has started re-downloading. I thought the whole movie was downloaded yesterday? This is my first rented movie... is this normal? BTW The message from Apple was that I had 48 hours to finish watching the movie (why wouldn't the movie stay on the tv until expiry?
    Thanks for any help!

    This aspect of AppleTV2 is very frustrating for the many many users with slower internet.
    By that I mean <6 Mbps for HD.
    AppleTV2 has 8GB of solid state memory.
    An average HD movie would be around 3-4GB.
    It should be able to hold at least one HD movie rental until expiry and stream local content if it had a FIFO type buffer that emptied and prefilled as playback proceeded.
    IMO it's badly designed - or at least there is the assumption everyone has unlimited fast internet - millions don't.
    Please send feedback to Apple on this matter:
    Apple - Apple TV - Feedback
    They could if they wanted to quite easily implement a warning system to users with slow connections that a subsequent operation would delete a rental and ask permission to proceed - this could be a user selectable setting that could be turned on so as not to annoy those with fast/unlimited connections.  Even people with fast connections may get their connection throttled after using bandwidth quotas, and they may have monthly download quotas too.

    Read the article you linked
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library."

    Sorry, I should distinguish between slow loading and manual reloading.
    I understood your problem to be that Firefox never finished loading the page, i.e., some part of the page was loading too slowly.
    By reloading, I meant Ctrl+r (or the reload button), to manually reload the page. You can disregard any cached files and reload all content fresh from the server by adding the Shift key, i.e., Ctrl+Shift+r (helpful when specific sites do not load correctly).
    If the page is automatically reloading itself over and over, that sounds like a completely different problem.

  • When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

    When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

  • Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

    Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared.  Is there anything available to fix this?

    I answered the same question in a similar post.  It's all to do with the wireless sync. 
    I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
    Open task manager
    Select the 'Processes' tab.
    Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
    Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  then click on 'end process'
    Hope this helps.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

  • HT3209 My computer meets and exceeds the requirements to watch HD 1080p movies,why does it say I cannnot watch the file may be to large and how can I fix this??

       How can I fix the topic question.I can watch HD movies all day using my Bluray Player why can't iTunes let me watch the movies in 1080p and why does it say the movies are to large.

    This is for the Windows 8-8.1 users out there:  If you have the Pro version of Windows 8 and just recently upgraded to 8.1, Microsoft automatically includes a Virtual Machine package called Hyper-V client.  It doesn't ask you if you want to install it, it just does.
    This may also apply to Windows 7 users who may have inadvertently installed some version of Hyper-V on their computer.
    The Hyper-V package installs a secondary video driver that breaks HDCP, which means you can't play HD movies even on a compliant system.  You need to get rid of it.  To do so:
    Go to Control Panel
    Programs and Features
    Turn Windows Features on or Off
    Uncheck "Hyper-V"
    Reboot.
    This applies to almost anything that requires HDCP, so if you're having trouble with Blu-Rays or Amazon Prime, that's likely the culprit.

  • How to overcome error of rented movies downloaded to iTunes, not being copied to the iPad?

    I have downloaded two rented movies from the iTunes Store to iTunes 10, plugged in my iPad and continuly receive an error msg that "The Movie(s)" was not copied to the iPad because it (they) cannot be played on this iPad.  I've found this exact error on-line and Apple suggests that iTunes version 10 corrects this issue ... "Obviously it doesn't!!!"  I have researched this issue for three days now and every indication is that there should not be any problems, that all my software, downloads, iPad updates are up-to-date.  Any suggestions would be greatful.

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.
