Cannot download films sucessfully

Hi I hope someone can help before I loose all faith in Apple!
This is the second time I have had issues with movie downloading movies. Firstly I have the latest SW, great wifi connection, loads of space etc.
When I download it starts off fine then stops without any warning/notification of an issue etc. When I click on the download symbol to get it to kick start again it says "You have already rented this but it has not been downloaded. Go to downloads to manage your downloads". Firstly how can you rent if you havent downloaded, I hope like before I havent been charged for something I cant watch! (Had to request refund on a different ocasion for the same issue).Secondly, where the **** do they mean? There is no "Downloads page" so to speak on the ipad. In the "Rentals" page I can see where the movie i am supposed to have "downloaded" to but its GREY and there are no options here to edit, delete, restart download....nothing like that...no options at all...
Very confused and iritated! Im going on a long flight today and yet again NO MOVIE!
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Sinead did you resolve this? I have the same problem.
The 2 movies are not showing up in Purchased (iTunes store), and there is NO DOWNLOADS option appearing on the store.
I can find the movies by searching on the iPad, but when I go there I get the "you have already rented this but it has not been downloaded".
Seems like a catch 22.
There's a cloud+arrow icon underneath the play button (right arrow/triangle) and tapping on that gives the spinning circle and then it comes back with the error message again.
Actually 1 rental has now completed, and since I pressed play to test it, I now have to watch the thing within 24 hours I think?
Very messy.

Cannot download films purchased from iTunes (error 8217).

Hi,
I purchased some films from iTunes but instead of downloading films I got following error message.
There was a problem downloading “”. An unknown error occurred (8217).
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
Problem cannot be in network connection because I can browse web and even in iTunes at same time.
I have tried to disable firewall and then use "check available downloads" in iTunes again. Same results.
I suspect that problem may be related with Regional setting of my Apple ID.
Before I was using another account with US address and eveytning worked fine. When I created new account with my Estonian address and tried to use it then I was able to purchase films but not able to download these

Are you aware your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside?

Cannot download films on PSN

My ps4 was bought and set up in the UK however i am now living in Spain, i have tried to rent films from PlaystationStore, but the message "this content cannot be selected at this time". I pay for a us dns service so that i can watch netflix uk/usa, and i have tried with the original ps4 dns settings and with the changed dns but to no avail. Why? Many thanksNick

Thanks for the reply, 'download films' was an error, i meant to put streaming. I contacted psn support and they said there was no reason why i shouldn't be able to stream films but that there had been issues over the last couple of weeks with Playstation video service. However i have tried to access the movie section in Playstation Store on my laptop to 'push' the film to my ps4 but the link gets redirected to the games section! Are these issues connected? Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers, Nick

I cannot download films from my laptop to ipad

How do I download movies from my laptop to iPad I have followed instructions but failed

Which instructions have you followed, and at which point does it fail to work as described?
From where have you obtained these movies? What file format are they in? Where on your laptop do these movies currently reside?

HT4759 I cannot download anything on to my iCloud storage and there is lots of gb available.btrying to downloads films from itunes

I cannot download an iTunes films on to my iCloud and there is plenty of gb space? This is the first time I'm using the iCloud storage tha I've purchased

You can't upload films to iCloud no matter how much storage you have: it doesn't provide general file storage in the manner of Dropbox or the defunct MobileMe iDisk. Its storage space is specifically for email, iWork 'Documents in the Cloud' and iOS backups.
'iTunes in the Cloud' has nothing to do with iCloud and I wish Apple would stop suggesting they're related - they aren't. Songs you purchase on one device from iCloud can in most cases be downloaded again to other devices; and 'iTunes Match' will match or enable you to upload songs your've taken from CDs or obtained elsewhere. However purchased films can't be download in this way because of rights restrictions by the distributors: a puruchased film can only be played from the device it was purchased on (directly or through an Apple TV).

How do I get to download music with a different id when it comes up with the message cannot download for 90 days

I need to know how to do this as well because before I got an iPad I hot an iPod nano and an iPod touch but because I was too young I wasn't aloud my own Apple ID and I used my mums. Through those years I got a lot of iTunes vouchers and I spent them on films and music. Last year I got an iPad and was aloud to make my own Apple ID I've downloaded a few songs and films but want my films and songs from my iPods but when I log in to my mums account on my iPad and try to download films and music but it comes up with you cannot download this item for 90 days because you have been as scouted with a different account. But I really can't wait 3 months at the moment cause haven't watched this film for ages. Please someone help me this is unfair this needs to be changed how could Apple be so harsh

it only happens for previous purchases - if you have a computer you can try to download your purchase history there and then just sync them to your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.

Can subscribe to podcast but cannot download podcast help

Okay here is the problem.
Made a podcast site in iweb.
made video m4v files (And they play in itunes from my CPU)
uploaded site
and itunes excepted rss feed
sent feed to feed validator they replied
(Your feed appears to be encoded as "UTF-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII")
Note I use Godaddy.com
also said
"This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations"

Here is my feed if anyone can help.

Thank you. And I will send you a free copy of my film if you help.

Your feed is OK, though you have not set a category - you can do this in iWeb when submitting.
The reason you cannot download the episodes is that the URL for the latest one at least does not work:
http://www.relevantcontentmedia.com/www.relevantcontentmedia.com/Media/C%20Cups% 20and%20Gentle%20Nuts%20Ep3.m4v
Either there is no file at this address or there is something wrong with it. Looking at the display of your feed in FireFox (used as an rss reader) the episodes are described as 'Video (protected)' - have you inadvertently set a password? - no password request is received when attempting to load the URL, but you don't get a 'file not found' either. On attempting to load the URL I got a blank page: looking at the source code I found:
</iframe></noscript></object></layer></table></body></html>
<script language='javascript' src='https://a12.alphagodaddy.com/hosting_ads/gd01.js'></script>
If you are trying to use a script to load the video this isn't going to work in iTunes, and evidently doesn't work in a browser either - you need to give the actual URL of the media (and ideally there should be no spaces in the filename). I'm afraid you are going to have to do some detective work.

IDVD is not on my system and I cannot download it from the App store. How Do I burn my home movies to DVD?

iDVD is not in my macBook pro and I need an iDVD or a good program to burn my home movies on DVD with menus. I cannot download iDVD or any other professional programs like DVD Studioor ... from App store. Please help me how do I burn my short films to DVD? Also please tell me any other free programs alternate it for burn DVD with putting menus.

Hi
iDVD is not or never been free !
there are up-dates but still You need the original iDVD v. 7.x.x to use them.
Best of program - not sold by Apple any more but on Amazon or e-bay in boxed versions of iLife 11
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Have rented a movie from iTunes but keep getting an error message cannot load film

I have downloaded a rental movie to my iPad started to watch it and it gave me an error of cannot load film, have tried deleting the film from my videos but cannot do that either, when I go back I to iTunes to start the process again it immediately tries to play the film but the same message come up. Any ideas?

Sounds like you might need to take it to an Apple Store but if it is an iPhone 3G it would no longer be under warranty.
Looking at the Apple Store online you can get an iPhone 3GS from $49 on AT&T if it comes to having to get a new one. Your other option is second hand.

HT201272 I cannot find previously purchased downloads of American Idol performance video's on my iMac after it had a virus and I cannot download them from the Store?

My iMac had a Trojan Horse virus and I had to reformat and install it's OS again. Now I cannot download any of my video's that I purchased from the iTunes store of Amerian Idol in 2009. How could I get them back?
Thanks in advance for your help.

We are fellow users on here, you are not talking to iTunes Support here.
Whether a film will show in the Purchased link will depend upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), what studio that they are from (not all allow re-downloading), whether they are still in the store (studios occasionally remove them from the store), and whether you've hidden them or not (hiding and unhiding).
Do any films show in the Purchased link, and do you not have copies of them somewhere ? If some do show but others don't then are they hidden (some might also have been removed from the store or the studio doesn't allow re-downloading) ? If you do have Movies as an option in the Purchased tab and you think that there should be more listed there (and you haven't changed countries since buying them), then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why they aren't showing
But as with all content from the store you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup copy of them, as there is no guarantee that a content provider won't remove their items from the store.

We are fellow users here on these forums, unless you give us some info as to what happens when you try to download it (e.g. are you getting any error messages) then we won't be able to try and help. Your post's title says 'purchased to rent' - is a purchase or a rental ?
For the page that you posted from, redownloading past purchases, films can't be redownloaded in all countries (rentals are one-time only downloads), and even where they can be redownloaded not all studios allow redownloading and there is no guarantee that a film will remain in a country's store for future redownloading.

Cannot download email attachments windows 7 lion bootcamp MacBook Pro.

I cannot download or upload email attachments with windows 7 on lion bootcamp. Attached files such as xxx.doc, yyyy.jpg, or zzz.txt erroneously try to download as *icloud* and of course fail. By * I mean alphanumeric string. icloud mail tries to download perfectly good files as gibberish. On my mac lion side the mail function works fine. On the bootcamp side all non-icloud mail functions and browser functions work fine. I can easily send, forward, reply to and receive icloud mail. The only thing wrong is that I cannot sucessfully unload or download icloud email attachments.

You will have better exposure for your query in the Boot Camp forum:
