Apple TV movie rentals not working

I've rented a movie on Apple TV, it accepted the rental and when we tried to play the movie it said Apple TV was not authorized. I try to go rent the same movie again and it says its already rented but does not show up as a rental on screen. It's been working fine and now it won't work
I do not want to pay for movies I can't watch, any thoughts

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • Apple tv movie will not play, though I have 1gig internet!

    So today I experienced my first ever real issue with apple TV movie rentals. I downloaded the James Brown movie, Get On Up, and it would NOT start! It just keept telling me that it's ready to play in anything from between 11-27 hours! It's totally messed up because I have the fastest internet in the country, a 2012 apple tv with updated software, an apple airport extreme(ac version) and I'm running 5ghz wifi. I even have the apple tv box about 1 foot from my router! There is NO ISSUES with my gear!!! Everything else is working perfectly. I can even stream ALL my purchased HD movies through my apple tv with no lag at all.
    Only when I try to watch a trailer or a movie, it will not play! I've been on support chat with apple 3 times to no avail, so APPLE..... WHF is up???

    also could be your HDMI cable......
    from another thread.....so exactly what does your Apple TV say to you exactly, when it won't play the movies???
    "If this is for the new ATV2, then the cable you use to connect to your TV must be HDCP capable. Some are. Some aren't. I bought a cheap one that was not and it didn't work. I bought a slightly more expensive one that was HDCP compliant and all is fine now.
    From the ATV webpage:
    Compatible with high-definition TVs with HDMI and capable of 720p 60/50Hz (see note 2)
    Bottom of page.
    Note 2: Requires HDCP when playing protected content.

  • I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

  • My Apple TV remote is not working.

    My Apple TV remote is not working. It was fine this morning, but now ATV is not responding to it.  It still access iTunes on my Mac so I don't think it's a battery issue. The white light flashes on ATV, but nothing happens.  I have restarted ATV several times from the mains, but no change.  Please help!

  • HT5622 Why is my Apple ID or password not working anymore after I reset my password?

    Why is my Apple ID or password not working anymore after I reset my password?
    It keep asking my password... I have reset it, then, when I enter the new password, it's not accepted...

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    As to your issue, Apple does not and never has made a wristwatch as such. The only thing close to a watch that they have made was the 6th-generation iPod nano:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353#iPod_Nano_6G
    which has a clock feature and which some people have worn as a wristwatch. Is that what you mean?

    My apple mobile device is not working on my ipad and my itunes dosn't work now. How can I fix it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
