Cant Sync Rental movies to Iphone 3gs

I have an Iphone 3GS (version 4.1) and a Mac. I cant sync my rented movie to my iphone. I clicked on the movie tab, clicked move (moves movie from "rented Movies box to Iphone box), clicked apply. Half way through the sync, the movie moves back to the "rented movies" box. Nothing happened. No error codes or warnings or anything. Nothing on my iphone. I cant Clear my "sync-history"--- supposedly it helps, but i cant actually do it there is no such thing as clear sync history. hooray for extremely long download times and completely ridiculous sync methods.

I think the way to get pictures onto your iPhone, is to have a database of pictures in a folder in My Documents. When your iPhone is device connected to iTunes, goto the pictures tab for your device and you should be able to check off the folder that you made. When you sync, the pics should move over to the iPhone.

  • Cannot watch rental movies on iphone 3gs since downloading OS6

    Since downloading 0S6 on an iphone 3gs, I get the message "Cannot Open" for two rental movies, one of which I had watched half of and one which I had not watched at all. The time is now ticking away until expiry on both of them and I'm unable to watch them. I've tried a reset but that didn't work.
    I have rung up Apple UK twice and got two different operators, one in the UK and then one in the USA. Both seemed very isolated with no contact with other Apple Mac staff except through computer. One told me to contact iTunes support online (he gave me an url and then realized it was the American url and not for the UK) and the other gave me the same url and told me to contact iphone support online.
    Both times I was left waiting for an inordinately long length of time when I suspect the operators were dealing with other calls. In fact, I got the impression, rightly  or wrongly, that I was dealing with people who were working from their own homes with minimal training and support and who were being paid for the number of calls they took and, if  there was a call like me which didn't come up with a solution on the computer screen, they went on to other calls and left me hanging.
    I did manage to find the Apple UK support page on my own but when I tried to contact them the error message "Service Unavailable - DNS failure. The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later. Reference #11.7f2645f.1348163355.65fe47"

    I haven't had to contact Apple UK for a year or so but I've never had such an awful, waste of time experience before with people who did not seemed at all trained or given the facilities to handle calls. Can somebody please help me on this or give me an email address for Apple Support UK?

    I believe the issue is that you have to be connected to the Internet (the iTunes Store) when you play the movie. I'm not sure if that's just when you initially start the movie or not. This is necessary, I'm assuming, to keep tabs on their time limits for viewing the movie once it's started. You could go to iTunes Store and scroll to the bottom and click on Terms of Use. It's all spelled out there under Rentals.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

  • ITunes has stopped working error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  Why?!

    For some reason, I keep getting the "iTunes has stopped working" error message on my Dell Latitude E6520 when trying to sync photos to my iPhone 3GS.  I am using Windows 7 on my 64-bit computer.  iTunes will begin to optimize the photos in the folder I have directed it to (I am trying to load almost 3000 photos and videos), and it will go through optimizing all of them singularly, then get to the step where it says "optimizing" again, but does so in bigger groups.  It will get to about 2000, and then the error message "iTunes has stopped working" will pop up, and say that "Windows must close the program and will search for a solution, and if it finds one, it will notify me".  Why can't I sync these photos, and what can I do?  Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Why i cant use facebook on my iphone 3gs

    why i cant use facebook on my iphone 3gs?

    If you want to use the Facebook app and you don't have an older version saved in your iTunes library, then you won't be able to download it on that device.  Either use Safari to access Facebook or get a device that can run iOS 7 and install Facebook.

  • Hi there just got a new 11' MBA but I can't sync iCal in my iPhone 3GS with it.  Advice?

    Hi i just got a new 11' MBA but can't sync iCal with my iPhone 3GS.  Advice pls?

    Disconnect your devices then reboot your computer.
    Before connecting your devices again reboot your devices. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I had a/b 7000 photos sync'd to my iPhone 3GS (16GB) from my PC...Today, all my photos are lost

    I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a head's up on what to do when you iP cannot successfully sync photos... the following is my dilemma:
    I had a/b 7000 photos sync'd to my iPhone 3GS (16GB, w/ 4+GB available) from my PC...Today, all my photos are lost & every time I re-sync, iTunes gets to the end of the optimization & then stops working! This incomplete sync happens if sync is for 1-photo or all!!!

    Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by a sync.
    This will remove all photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer.
    Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab making your selection below regarding the photos you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
    If no change after this, try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from your computer.

  • Unable to sync itunes rental movie to iphone

    Have an iphone 3Gs....rented a movie but am unable to sync it to my phone. Movie seemed to take a long time to download to my MacBook Pro but is in my iTunes. Have not had previous problems with rental movie.

    HD content will not xfr...
    when you purchase HD content, you get both SD and HD...only the SD can be synced to iPhone...honestly I've never rented HD so I can't say if you also get an SD view...but I highly doubt it so you will most likely not be able to sync an HD rental...

  • Voice Memos- How to move from iphone 3GS to Mac?

    Okay. How do I move a voice memo from my iPhone 3GS to my Mac? All software and hardware is current. All I want to do is move voice memos from iPhone to my Mac. Memos are 30 minutes plus and cannot email from iphone. So I want to move to my Mac and email if I want. How to? thanks! rr

    Syncing Voice Memos
    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.

  • Sync iPhoto movies to iPhone 3G Photo App - Possible?

    This may be a a 3g vs 3gs limitation but I thought I would ask.
    I downloaded the superb iVideoCamera app for iPhone 3G (its works very well!) - it has a function to export to the iPhone Camera Roll. After exporting, I can play the movie in the camera roll on the iPhone, and when syncing with iPhoto, the movie will move to iPhoto and play there also (under QT).
    Now the problem is that it no longer shows up in any Photo albums on the iPhone when syncing BACK from iPhoto to iPhone through iTunes. I have the "include videos" option checked in iTunes but that seems to do nothing.
    Ok - I know I can transfer the movies from iPhoto to iTunes and then sync them to iPhones iPod App - but the question is:
    Can movies synced from iPhoto to iPhone show up in the Photo app on the 3G or is it a 3GS only feature?
    If indeed, this is a 3GS only feature, what does the "Include Videos" option in the iTunes > iPhoto tab (when the iphone is plugged in) do exactly for a 3G?

    They must be in a format to play on the iphone or they will not sync. Select the movie in itunes, then Advanced>Create Ipod/Iphone version. Select that version to sync to your phone. You can also use handbrake to create iphone versions & then drag them to itunes. Handbrake has presets for the iphone:

  • How can I sync my notes from iPhone 3GS to MacBook Pro?

    How can I sync my Notes from the iPhone 3GS running IOS 6.0.1 to my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.2?

    The most straightforward way (assuming your iPhone 3GS is running iOS 6, which it should be) is to use iCloud to house your contacts.
    Then it would be trivial to have your contacts synced and maintained between your MacBook Pro and your iPhone.
    P.S.:  Sorry, I said contacts but meant notes.  iCloud would work for both.

  • Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

    Sorry,
    I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
    Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks,
    I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??

  • Trouble sync'ing iCal with iPhone 3GS

    Why don't some of my iCal appointments sync with my iPhone 3GS since mobile me ended?  I did the "switch to iCloud" and now there are new appointments that I have put on my desktop that no longer sync over.  I set up the iPhone (settings/calendar/on) to sync and applied the new settings on iTunes.  This happened in the past when I tried to use the Cloud to sync appts and called applecare and the tech had me undo everything.  Any ideas?

    On the right hand side of the Info tab, there's a scrollbar you can use to scroll down to set syncing options for calendars, bookmarks, notes and mail accounts.
