"Cannot open" error when downloaded *purchased* movie from icloud?

This had happened multiple times and I cannot believe it hasn't been fixed when I see issues with rentals from years ago!  I fully downloaded a movie I purchased a year ago to my iPhone. It successfully downloaded, processed, etc. Shows the dot next to it as fully unwatched. Plenty of room on phone. Have watched movie on our Apple TV - no problem.
WHen I go to watch, annoying "cannot open" message. :-(
Do they seriously expect me to ONLY download movies to a computer with a hardwire connection and transfer them? I can't travel with an iMac desktop, obviously! What's the point of icloud then?!!!!! It's ridiculous!
ANY tricks to get this movie to play? Anyone have any luck in this situation? 
Thanks.

Hi kfrau13,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you were not able to view the rented movie, you may want to report the issue with your purchase:

  • Error when downloading itunes extra from icloud

    I purchased 2 movies from itunes and wanted to put them on my kids ipods and iphone, but i can't. The movies will not go into the ipod (nano), I get a message that says that i need to download the full movie content before syncing. I've tried to but the only thing that dowloads is the movie the rest (itunes extra content) will not download.

    I've done some searching on this forum and found another thread where people have resolved this problem:

  • When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
    1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure.  This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
    2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have  to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
    3.  Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying. 
    OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
    Maybe I should think about a new computer.

  • "Cannot open" error when trying to stream movie to iDevices

    I'm having trouble with two videos I recently purchased in iTunes.  The movies play on my computer, but I cannot play them on any devices when I stream them over "Home Sharing".  I get an error "Cannot Open".  This happens on all my iPads and iPhones.  Other movies play fine.  What could the problem be?

    I fixed mine by unplugging apple tv for about five minutes, then plugging it back in. 

  • Cannot download purchased movie from Itunes

    Rented a movie and it shows up in purchases. I cannot download it. I get the same error message non-stop, tap to retry - to no avail. Please help!

    Purchasing more storage in iCloud was not necessary. You may need more space locally - on the iPad itself - not in the cloud. But did you receive a message saying that you needed space to download the movie? If you did, then you need to delete content on the iPad to free up space.
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can see which apps are taking up the most space and you can see videos and TV shows that are on the iPad. You can delete content in there via the Edit button and download it again later a desired. Most purchased content can be downloaded again for free but there are some limitations and exclusions.

  • Problem downloading purchased movie from itouch

    I purchased two movies from itunes and one downloaded without a problem. The other movie will not download. I keep getting download error message and am unable to get it downloaded.

    Page 135 of the manual:
    "If a download is interrupted, iPod touch starts the download again the next time it has an Internet connection. Or, if you open iTunes on your computer, iTunes completes the download to your iTunes library (if your computer is connected to the Internet and signed in to the same iTunes account)."

    There is no way to know what will happen in the future, unless Apple announces.

  • I NEED HELP DOWNLOADING PURCHASED ITEMS FROM ICLOUD

    "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days" is the message i keep getting on my screen when i try to download my TV shows from icloud. I dont understand why I cannot down load stuff. Someone, kindly explain what i need to do to get my shows down loaded. I cant wait for 64 more days before downloading.I write this because in addition to the above message i keep getting when trying to download, i also get "this computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 64 days".This is v frustrating for me. Is there something i need to be doing or not?

    Sounds like you recently authorized/deautorized that computer with a different apple id.  To download purchases with the apple ID that is currently authorized follow these instructions Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Error when downloading SMS messages from Nokia 623...

    Hi,
    I have been using a Nokia 6233 phone for the past 3 yrs. Now that my phone memory is full I was attempting to download the messages in my inbox to my PC. However when I attempt to connect my phone to my PC (this is the first time that I am trying this) I get an error "The operation could not be completed" with an OK button.
    The below are the steps that I have performed.
    Connected my Phone to my mobile (it connects and I am able to download all multimedia related files without any problems) using a data cable and the Nokia PC Suite ver 6.70.22 software.
    Successfully taken a backup of my Phone memory and my memory card.
    From the PC Suite launched the option for Messages. Opened the folder for Inbox, however didnt see any messages in my inbox in the PC. However there are aprox 350 messages in my phone inbox.
    Then I right clicked on in the folder (messages) and selected refresh. To this I got a popup which read  Updating ... "Phone and comuter messages  are now being updated".
    After thinking for some time I got the above message.
    I have tried this a dozen times by disconnecting my mobile and connecting it again and even restarting my PC but with no luck.
     Would greatly appreciate your assistance.

  • Download error when downloading a movie

    I downloaded a rental movie. When I go to download it pops up an error message.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Disc Error when downloading purchased music videos

    Hi there,
    I'm using the latest iTunes and have purchased 3 music videos. When I try to download them, I gett an error saying:
    "There was an error download your purchased music. The disc could not be read from or written to"
    Strange thing is, the disc is fine (an external Maxtor network drive), I can download normal music files (I've done this successfully since getting this message) so I'm stumped.
    I've sent a mail to iTunes support, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has had this problem and can recommend a fix.
    Cheers,
    Pete

    Hello Peter,
    Check out the suggestions in this Apple Support article below:
    "Disk could not be read from or written to"
    Also, if your videos were only partially downloaded and you'd like to retrieve them, then you can go to "Advanced> check for purchases..." in iTunes, and see if that works.
    I hope this helps!
