Closed Captioning of iTunes movie rentals on iPhone

I rented a movie from iTunes that is closed captioned (Oceans Eleven) and I turned on closed captioning on my iPhone (settings, iPod, closed captioning on). Yet, no closed captions display when I watch the movie on my iPhone. What am I missing? Why are captions not able to be viewed?

OK, it was Oceans Thirteen, not Eleven. But the caption symbol is displayed in iTunes. I tried playing it on my iPhone and my Mac Pro, no dice. Captioning does not work on either system and captioning is turned on in both.

Itunes movie rental on iPhone. Expired but continues to download.

I downloaded a movie on my iphone through iTunes. I was able to successfully watch the movie. 48 hours later the movie rental expired, yet itunes continues to try and re-download the movie. I've watched the download process a few times. It downloads the whole file (1.5GB), moves on to processing and then there is an error message that it is unable to connect to iTunes.
How do I remove this movie from the download queue?
Thanks,

If you rent it on your iPhone then it will download onto your phone, films from iTunes aren't streamed.
For rentals you have 30 days to watch it, but once you start watching it (even if you only watch one second) you then have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, to finish watching it before it expires.

Help syncing iTunes Movie Rental to iPhone

Hi,
I just rented a movie from the iTunes store and it plays in itunes but I can't transfer it to my iphone. I clicked on my iphone while in itunes and changed the settings to sync all movies to my iphone but nothing happens. It doesn't even show up under videos. Has anyone else had any trouble transfering rentals to their iphone. Any help would be greatly appricated.
Thank You

Is your iTunes version 7.6?
When I select the iPhone Video Tab, it shows 3 sections, Rented Movies, then TV Shows, then Movies. It also states in the Rented Movies section that "You must be connected to the internet to transfer rented movie."
From iTunes help: "After the movie downloads to your computer, to transfer the rental to an iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV, connect the device, select it in iTunes, click the Movies tab, select the movie, and then click Move.
After you transfer a rental, it is removed from your iTunes library."

How can I use closed captioning with Netflix movies?

Any help from the community on how to be able to see closed captioning on Netflix movies; works with movies from iTunes?

Hm, Id really like to figure this out also. It bothers me to see my laptop screen out of the corner of my eye using my 30in. Its kind of stupid but, still bothers me.
edit: That was way to easy. Just close the laptop and let the bluetooth mouse wake it back up. I had tried it once before and it didnt work. Maybe I was just to impatient to wait the extra 10 secs.

Bad itunes movie rental, book, app...can I get a refund?

Over the past few months I've had an itunes movie rental that froze and wouldn't play, a book I bought that wouldn't open (on any device, iphone, mac, or ipad), and an app that I purchased that worked a few times and now quits every time it's opened.
Is there a way to request a refund/credit for these items?

You can always ask but supposedly sales are final.

TS4124 ie should icloud allow apple tv to play my itunes movie rentals without itunes being open on my computer

Shouldn't icloud sent my itunes movie rentals to apple TV without my computer open to itunes?

Do I need to back-up all my movies and songs on to a hard drive
Yes. An Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone is not intended to be a backup device and shouldn't be treated as one.
The virus does not allow me to open iTunes, so how can I deauthorize that computer?
You can't. If you run out of authorizations, you can use the Deauthorize All command. Otherwise, you should probably just leave it as is.

Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
(Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
What are your thoughts, folks?

If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

Is this possible to put a Closed Captioned in small movie file

I ponder if this is doable, attainable and workable to do a small video file that a colleague of mine wanted me to put in a closed captioned into small movie - less than 2 to 4 minutes (three tiny small movie files). I try to explain that I don't think it is doable, attainable and workable to create a closed captioned into small movie file with Final Cut Pro X - especially with 320 in width by 240 pixel in length. My colleague insisted that I do it anyway.
I ask my colleague that if he has original movie file that I can work, so I can export the movie file that is larger than 320 by 240 pixel. He said no.
I told him that how is it possible for me to work with closed captioned into three tiny movie files for presentation-training purpose only.
My gut feeling tells me that it won't do any good, especially with TINY movie file with only 320 by 240. I told my colleague that it is MUCH easier to work with original file that is much larger than what he gave me. I mean, it is easier to edit and put closed captioned or whatever in any video footage.. whenever I am done with it, then export the finished file with closed captioned in it. I also explain to my colleague that if I work with file that is already exported movie file.. then I edit and put closed captioned in that exported file... then export it out of Final Cut Pro X, the quality would be considerable degradation.
Unfortunately, my colleague insisted that I proceed with the project. I hesistate that I'd waste my time for achieving nothing with no measureable result because my gut feeling tells me that my perspective is correct, no?
Am I correct? Is it worth it? Otherwise I'd tell my colleague that my answer will be a resounding no.
Please advise. Thanks!

You are right that placing text subtitles on such a small size video is likely not great.
By default, FCP X does not support such a small video size; you'd have to blow it up to a standard size and then scale the result back down.But you can use a workaround to do all the work on 320x240 (see this web page:
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial). That would lessen the losses.
Still, definitely not great.

How Do I Enable Closed Captions in iTunes 11?

In iTunes 10 I had enabled Preferences>Playback>Show closed captioning when available. This check box has been removed from iTunes 11. How do I enable closed captioning in iTunes 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

Thanks. This represents a change in conceptualisation from Apple. Previously, closed captions were part of Accessibilty and it was assumed that anyone usings captions would want them on 24/7. It still works this way on iOS devices. On the Apple TV, e.g., closed captions are enabled for the device, via Settings > General > Accessibility > Closed Captions + SDH. Once enabled, captions will be displayed for any content that has them.
Subtitles on the other hand (and subtitles may be in the same language as the audio, they're not just 'foreign') must be enabled or disabled per item of content via the Subtitles menu, which is arrived at by holding the centre button on the remote.
This was the way it used to work in iTunes also. Rolling the Closed Captions into the subtitles menu is new, though I guess it makes sense.

TS1717 iTunes movie rental stops playing on ipad

iTunes movie rental keeps freezing at same point in rental is there anything I can do?

I have the same problem. At first I got this message:
This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB of ram. I have purchased numerous TV episodes in both HD & SD and have no issues. i rented this movie yesterday and could only play it via my Apple TV. I haven't installed the latest OS update but my itunes is up to date and like I mentioned I can play everything else.
I just tried again after changing the setting to switch displays to save power. Now every time I try to play the movie it asks me to authorize my computer, then tells me its already authozied, then gives me a black screen in play mode with no movement on the play indicator.

My itunes movie rental keeps freezing how can i continue watching it?

Hey rossfromwarren,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you were experiencing an issue with an iTunes Movie Rental. Due to the time limits associated with rentals, you may wish to report a problem with your purchase if the issue was not resolved before expiration:

My iTunes movie rentals won't play. How can I fix this?

I've been able to purchase and download iTunes movie rentals. However, when I click 'play' iTunes attempts to play the movie but it doesn't start. I don't get a playback window only the movie title in the 'play' pane. The counter does not run.
Can this be fixed? Is it a bug in 10.7.5 or iTunes?

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article?

Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

Where on my computer do I access the iTunes movie rental that just downloaded?

Where on my computer do I access the iTunes movie rental that just downloaded? I can't find it anywhere . . .

In iTunes choose the 'Films' display then click 'Rented' in the bar at the top.
