I get the following error when trying to watch a rented movie, "Anerror occurred loading this content".

Hi,
I get the following error message when trying to watch a rented movie, "An error occurred loading this content". Is this common?
Thanks,

It's common in the sense that you'll see this issue arise in the community from time to time, but in the context that the community is the place that users bring their problems it's probably similar to a broken shoulder which may be common at the hospital but not so common amongst the population that the hospital serves.
In many cases the problem can be solved by restarting the Apple TV (pull the power for best results) and/or restarting your router. Persistent problems may indicate a network issue such as interference locally or a slow download speed from your service provider. Try the restarts and see if that helps.

HT1491 Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not start

Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not open and start.

From iTunes on the iPad or from iTunes on your computer? BTW, you are trying to watch the movie in the videos app, correct?
if you synced the movie to the iPad, delete it and sync it again. Tap the Edit Button in the Movies tab of the Videos app and then tap the X on the movie icon to delete it. Then sync it again.
if you downloaded it directly to the iPad, close the videos app completely, reboot the iPad and then try again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I have an ipad2. PLEASE can anyone tell me if I can watch a movie purchased from iTunes without wifi (after I have downloaded the movie and hit play while connected). My husband is going for chemotherapy and the hospital does not have wifi.

Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

TS1567 I have an old ipod nano. How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod?

How do I download the songs I purchased from itunes onto my older ipod nano...I believe it is a 2nd generation? I plug it into my computer, but nothing happens!!!

Hello shay82578,
It sounds like you are trying to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano. I found some articles with steps to sync music to your iPod:
If you are using iTunes 11, you will want to follow the steps in this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, you can follow the steps in this article:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
To be able to sync music from iTunes to your iPod nano, the music will need to be on the computer rather than streaming from iTunes in the Cloud. You can find the steps to download your purchased music to your computer's hard drive under the section titled, "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Error 3001 when trying to watch a rented movie

I've rented my first movie off iTunes Movie Rentals (Fantastic 4 - Silver Surfer). The file downloaded fine, but at the end of the download it shows error 3001 (There was a problem, etc.) but gives no specifics.
I tried it on my MacBook Pro and my girlfriend's Dell, both running the latest version of iTunes, but I get the same error when trying to play the movie, or when I click "Resume Download" (although it looks like the movie had downloaded already).
Any tips on how to fix this? I was looking forward to watching this with her tonight.
Not a good first-time experience with this rental thing I must say

I am getting the same error ("3001") when downloading - not watching. At first I was getting err = 8008. 8008 would happen about 1/3 through the download process. Download would freeze, and issue iTunes would alert an err = 8008. After contacting Apple, they claim to have reloaded the movie and instructed me to try again by:
1. Delete my /User/iTunes/Music/Download folder
2. Check for Downloads
After several attempts, the download process finally proceeded past the original freeze point. Download is now 99.9% complete, but now crashes and issues a pop-up alert "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (3001). There was an unknown error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
1.6G of 1.7G has downloaded. When I try to "play" the existing file, I am presented with another 3001 error pop-up.
Grrr....

Itunes keeps freezing up when trying to play a rented movie.

I recently rented a movie from itunes using the $2.99 SD copy. I downloaded it and then prepared to watch but instead of playing the movie freaked out and froze my itunes. The only way it would do anything was when I exitted out. I've tried restarting my computer twice, have opened and closed itunes mutliple times. I believe I have the most recent version of itunes (11.02). I have 24 hours to watch my movie and it is not working! Help please! Is there any way to fix this. I've tried making sure itunes is the only thing open, but even then it doesn't work.

Hello authorsgirl27,
The article linked below can help you troubleshoot some of the settings on your computer that may be preventing you from viewing your rental.

Spinning wheel when trying to play a rented movie

So I have been renting movies on my MacBook from the iTunes store since I bought my first apple TV years ago. I then play them from my Apple TV and never had an issue.
Since the last updates of iTunes and Apple TV OS I can no longer do this. All I get when I select a movie on my iTunes is a spinning wheel! It just sticks there.
What the heck Apple - get a grip - where is your testing !
The only way round it is if I play the movie on my macbook and stream it to my apple tv!

How to do I have my rented movie played from iTunes? I paid for it and the last time I checked, it was still downloading

I rented a movie called "Holes" from iTunes. I paid for it with my iTunes gift card. It took a long time to download the movie, so I went and took a nap. I woke up and tried to play the film and it will not show. It doesn't even show I purchased it nor does it show it's available to rent. The balance on my gift card shows the movie was paid for. Where is my movie? How do I play a rented movie I purchased for on iTunes?

All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you are on a very slow connection and it's going to take longer than 24 hours (48 hours if you aren't in the US) to download a rental then don't start playing it until it's completed downloading - the 24 or 48 hour countdown starts as soon as you click play.

Videos from iTunes to iPad disappear, only iCloud download

The problem that I am having is that after I have synced TV episodes that I have purchased and downloaded from iTunes to my iPad, the episodes later are not on the iPad, and instead require downloading from the cloud again to watch. This is a problem when I am traveling outside the US. I have tried all I can think of: While connected to iTunes, deleting the episodes and then resyncing them. The episodes are on my iPad, ready to go. Then a few days later, when I'm on a plane or overseas, the episodes aren't there, requiring download again from the cloud, which isn't possible in these locations. I have even tried to copy these episodes into another iPad app to view them, but the restrictions on the iTunes videos means they aren't viewable even though they are on the iPad. Why are the episodes removing themselves from my iPad, and how can I keep them there and available? Thanks!

Not to worry >>> i have found the issue an solved the problem
