Are Apple movies currently unavailable

We rented a movie last night and it played very slowly. Today, it can't be selected to play, nor can any of our rented or purchased movies play. However, both rented and purchased tv shows are working fine? It would seem there is a problem with the service.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? We're playing from Apple Canada

Jeff I dont understand your comparison of Bluray to Dlt. Bluray is the only storage technology that can seriously be expected to fit high def movies. I dont expect to be able to cram them onto to DVD's. Since HD DVD withdrew from the market, one could hardly consider BLuray format of the week. In case you hadnt noticed high def is the new way of shooting and displaying video. I would suggest walking into any home entertainment store to discover this. Morever I bought final cut pro HD , its got HD at the end of the title of the software so its not reaally unreasonable to assume it might be able to handle HD. Well it couldnt, it wouldnt read my high def footage and I was told by the guys at the MAc store to either upgrade to a version of Final cut pro that would (which involved buying a new machine) or spend exra money to downgrade to another verison that would.
If its such a waste of time to put Blu ray drives in computers why are there many pcs with bluray drives? wake up Apple, people are buying high def products and they will want to output it somewhere. To describe Bluray as obscure sounds bizarre to me. Did you not read the news? bluray won the format war. Its so frustrating being a loyal Apple customer to be so behind the times. I feel like an idiot for going with Apple.
I dont need fancy blu ray functionality, I just want to be able to make my movies and not have to worry about fitting them on a disc that cant cope. I dont really want to switch to pc but so far I havent found any good reasons not too yet. I have a stack of tapes shot on high def needing to be edited. Right now my Mac cant cope with it, Im not willing to buy a new Mac that doesnt have a bluray drive when i can buy a new PC that does. Unless of course i
can make my film in FCP and use an external driver to burn into onto a blu ray? If so can anyone reccomend one?

  • I'm getting messages that Netflix and the iTunes store are currently unavailable.  This can't be a coincidence.  also, my iTunes account works fine on my Mac, just not on the Apple TV.

    I'm getting  messages on Apple TV that netflix and the itunes store are currently unavailable.  This can't be a coincidence.  Also, the iTunes store is working fine on my Mac, the message is only on the apple TV.  Does anyone come across this frequently?

    1. An explanation for what? There is indeed a support number (which you can find on this page in "Contact Us" and you are limited to one support call in the first 90 days and if you have the AppleCare you have more than that available, so I'm not sure what you are whinning about (and it is whinning, trust me).
    2. http://www.kelleytown.com/ikelleytown.htm#firewire
    However, since I wrote that I've also found this link pretty well explaining why firewire is the only way to go as well (it's about video but the same principles apply to the iPod:

    3. Your computer is constantly changing whether you know it or not. Do you not apply any MS upgrades (or have them automatically applied for you?) Do you not have any antivirus on your machine (which applies its own upgrades)? Do you not, ever, ever, ever, open any email message, or download that cute little movie your friend sent you, or plug in any other device (like a digital camera or flashcard reader) or any of the other hundreds of things that change the computer environment.
    It would be tempting to conclude a priori that the update you applied is now the problem, but if so, how do you explain the millions of others who apply the update without issues? The difference is in the software and settings on the witches brew that is a PC. So in a sense you are right in that the old firmware worked with the mess that is your computer and now the new one doesn't -- but it ain't up to Apple to fix your computer, and impossible for them to control the environment (oh, I guess unless you buy a Mac -- "coincidentally" Mac's use firewire for the iPod :>)
    I dunno -- when 90% of all issues (100% of all connection issues) can be solved with the Adaptec 4300 I tend to have a lot less patience with folks. If you want to use the mess that is USB then you'll just have to deal with the fact that MS screwed it up big time and become more knowledgable on how to handle the problems.

  • ITunes currently unavailable on apple tv3

    Been experiencing many problems with apple tv streaming content mainly purchased movies. Getting the error message, iTunes currently unavailable please try again later. Really lame this has been happening often and now on thanksgiving while the family wants to enjoy a movie. had to restart the apple tv 3 times, still wouldn't work. Rebooted the modem and router, then restarted apple tv finally did the trick. Strangely, the movies will stream to the iPad or macbook air, just not to the apple tv. Shouldn't have to jump through all these hoops and hope it will work. Not sure if its my internet service provider or apple problem. Im guessing a bit of both.  Will not purchase any more movies in the cloud. Having a hard copy blue ray disc is always a better option for me. At least you actually have a physical disc to play on a high end player. Streaming is cool when it works, but seems like much more bandwidth is required to free up some traffic as Im sure the demand is higher now. Apple and Comcast need to step up and correct these issues for the prices we are paying for these premium services and products.

    Solution that worked for me: 1. Unplug ethernet cable, 2. Start Apple tv, go to Settings>General>Network, 3. Check the Wifi address. I have a locked down wifi system and the Apple TV wifi address was different than the wifi address I had used in my wifi modem. When I corrected the wifi address at the wifi modem (the one provided by my telco company), the wifi network on Apple TV worked. Now I have access to the iTunes store. I've had the exact same problem since I updated the software a week ago. I "restored" twice & nothing seemed to work. This did, thankfully. Although I didn't need to, I plugged the ethernet cable back in and the Apple tv still works. Go figure. I'm not a "techy" so I don't know why this worked - it seems like switching from ethernet to wifi to ethernet did the trick. Go figure.

  • Why my apple tv keeps crashing "your itunes is currently unavailable,please try again later"

    why my apple tv keeps crashing "your itunes is currently unavailable,please try again later"

    I Have this issue too except I can log into my sons Apple id and watch his shows.  I can AirPlay non-itunes content such as a tv show that has AirPlay but not my iTunes purchased items.  I have tried all the fixes as suggested even resetting and reinstalling. It is bizarre, why can I watch my sons shows, movies....?  I can see mine but they won't load. our family is not on family share. my son when he uses his own Apple tv in his home has no issue.  All other Apple devices are working fine and I can watch from iPhone, iPad etc, just not Apple tv.
    very disappointed with Apple at the moment.  There updates, fixes and bugs are getting to be as bad as windows.  i am seriously thinking of going back to android.  Apples communication marketing people need to make a statement about this issue.  I won't be buying anymore movies etc Apple til you sort this out.

  • "Game Center account services are currently unavailable. Please try again later." Any solution for this thing ?

    Hey guys, I have an iMac 27 inch. Whenever i connect to the game center it asks me to input my apple id & password. I do so then I agree to terms & conditions followed by inputing my nickname. After doing this stuff it just shows as 'Saving...' and never stops for hours. When I try through chess i get the following error. "Game center account services are currently unavailable. Please try again later". I've tried everything which were there in other discussions but none helped. And just for the extra information my internet is firewalld frrom the datacenter itself. Please provide a solution. Thanks :)

  • My Apple TV keeps saying "iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later" after 23 seconds of playing  a song through iTunes match!!! How do I fix it?

    I keep trying to play music through iTunes match and it playing a song for about 23 seconds then puts this error message up on the screen "iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later". I need help on how to fix it!?!?

    Please call Apple care if you have it for your Apple tv
    I have been calling them everyday and they are great they also think its itunes and after this last call I had they itune store support said it might be my network which is BS, I have 2 xbox consoles that have every video app installed hulu, netflix, vudu and zune and not one of them are having issues and my apple tv netflix plays perfect along with streaming from my library. I tested my network and also have the lightening speed service from my isp.
    they want me now to go to the apple store and visit the genuis bar and have them test it on their tv's, and I am unable to do that for almost a week and honestly its not my network it is them, I even opened a new Apple tv I got for the family room and tested that out and same thing every 9 min (8min 59sec) it cuts out and I have to resume it till the next 9 min.
    If everyone calls them and they get flooded with complaints they will see its not one persons network but something with itunes servers 

  • "New subscriptions are currently unavailable".  In iTunes Match!

    "New subscriptions are currently unavailable".  In iTunes Match!
    When I try to subscribe to iTunes Match I keep getting the above error message.  I've been trying it for over a month now and I just keep getting the same message.  Is there a problem?

    Hi Dawn,
    What country are you in? Not sure if this could be regional.
    The only other thing I can suggest is a potential connection problem between your PC and Apple's servers. Have you tried subscribing to iTunes Match from your iPad?
    Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 7.1 or higher.
    Scroll down and tap on iTunes & App Store.
    Tap on Subscribe to iTunes Match. Note that you'll only see this option when you're signed into your iTunes account with your Apple ID. If you aren't, do that first.
    On the iTunes Match menu, tap on the Subscribe button that shows the price for your country.
    A popup will appear asking you to confirm your subscription. Tap on Subscribe.
    Type in your Apple ID password when asked.
