a movie i rented from itunes wont download now what do i do?

Hey Patiencepieart!
While there is not enough information in the post about your circumstance to be able to say for sure, but here are some tips from the iTunes movie rental FAQ that may be helpful to you:
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657
Where can I watch my movie rental?
You can watch your movie rental on your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later), iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation), or on your TV using your Apple TV. You can watch HD movie rentals on your computer, iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or with Apple TV.
How many times can I view the movie?
Once you start watching your movie, you can view the rented movie as many times as you wish within the 24-hour (or 48-hour) window.
What happens to my rented movie if I don't watch it?
If you don't watch your rented movie, it will expire in 30 days and disappear from your iTunes library. You will need to rent it again in order to watch it.
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

The movie I rented at itune store failed to download. I tried to download it again, but it seems I would be charged again if I download. How can I download the movie I have already paid without being charged twice?

Hello ktsuchiya
If you can get your rental to download by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

The fix for this is supposed to be resetting the system clock to automatic time, but this, as we've seen, more often than not fails to work. After a bit of an email exchange between Apple support and myself I discovered the true fix for this issue, or at least, the one that they said to use and that worked for me.
After resetting your clock go to the folder /Users/Shared in Finder and delete the folder "SC Info". This is a hidden folder, so the way you will need to get it to appear is to use the go to folder command (Shift + Command + G) and type in /Users/Shared/SC Info and hit enter. Change to the column view and you'll be able to see the folder there. Move it to the trash and it will go away, and take your problems with it. Restart the computer for the deletion to take effect and then reauthorize your itunes. Should play your rentals after that.
Props to Zarchanalin for the answer!

Can't find movie I rented in iTunes

Can't find movie I rented from iTunes. Tried purchased &downloads(at bottom of screen). Have first iPad& am new user to all things apple.

Can't find the movie I rented in itunes from MacBook...rediculous

Ok I give up after searching for over 2 hours now for a movie I rented from itunes. I used my MacBook Pro but after the movie downloaded I turned the MacBook off because I wanted to watch it later. Now for the life of me I can not find that damm movie. Can someone help me out? I searched the internet but all I found where frustrated posts from people with the same problem. This is rediculous. It shouldn't be this difficult.

If you have downloaded it directly to your iPad then open the Videos app and go to the Rentals tab.

Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer

Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!

I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

My facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help

my facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help

Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

ITunes stopped working,C++ library error, removed iTunes, now iTunes wont download

Have been using iTunes for years on laptop with windows vista (32 bit). recently started getting itunes errors such as C++ runtime library error and R6034 error. Itunes stopped working. Read the boards, I deleted itunes and other products from the trouble shooting directions (e.g., bonjour, mobile me etc), and tried to download itunes again. now itunes wont download (I have 20 MB/140MB available memory). stuck at this point - Itunes not on laptop, but cant download new itunes.....

Sorry for the delay. Tried running the fixit program (1 time via internet explorer, 1 time via firefox), the firefox attempt downloaded the fixit program, but when trying to run it I get a pop up window that indicates that the troubleshooter is not available and that the fixit program is invalid or has expired and a new website is given for the new program (same happened with the internet exploere attempt- it directed me to the same window and to the same website)......the website is:
http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
there are several buttons to choose from and reviewed them- I found the uninstall fix that you described in the windows button. I tried to download and run the fix from both internet explorer and firefox, however after downloading, when i run the program I eventually get the same window that says that the troubleshooter is not available......
