Downloading movies from iTunes....."error tap to retry."

Why is this happening? I just paid 4.99 for renting a movie and I had to keep tapping it after i got that error numerous times. It got to about half way and now it won't continue. ???

Define 'plenty'. I don't share your problem and, honestly, it seems as though relatively few others do. Aside from trying the approaches discussed in the Troubleshooting section of your User's Guide, I can't suggest anything beyond what was linked to above.

HT1491 Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not start

Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not open and start.

From iTunes on the iPad or from iTunes on your computer? BTW, you are trying to watch the movie in the videos app, correct?
if you synced the movie to the iPad, delete it and sync it again. Tap the Edit Button in the Movies tab of the Videos app and then tap the X on the movie icon to delete it. Then sync it again.
if you downloaded it directly to the iPad, close the videos app completely, reboot the iPad and then try again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

Is it possible to download movies from iTunes???

I was wondering if it was possible to download movies from iTunes to put on to your iPod, and burn to a disc. I have looked on iTunes and i can't find anything anywhere, however on the apple website there are images from films on iPods....so how do you do it????

I believe the plan that was announced when the Movies were introduced was to roll them out to other stores sometime in 2007 which obviously didn't happen. The reason that stores for different countries have different content is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies, film companies, TV companies and other copyright holders. These are quite often completely different from country to country and therefore all require their own individual contract negotiations. The varying content is not imposed by Apple, who would have a much easier job if they only had to maintain one multi-national store and deal with one set of licensees.

Download movies from Itune

who can tell me what is wrong with itune, everytime I download movies from Itune, the movie is very dark, the last one can barely see. What can be done , thanks

Good point - current requirements for iTunes 9.x are:
Macintosh Hardware
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor
Intel, PowerPC G5 or 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor is required to play Standard Definition video from the iTunes Store
2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor is required to play HD video, an iTunes LP, or iTunes Extras from the iTunes Store
512MB of RAM; 1GB is required to play HD video, an iTunes LP, or iTunes Extras
Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater; 1280x800 or greater is required to play an iTunes LP or iTunes Extras
Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Apple combo drive or SuperDrive to create audio, MP3, or back-up CDs; some non-Apple CD-RW recorders may also work.
Apple SuperDrive to back up your library to DVDs; some non-Apple DVD-RW drives may also work.

Error 50 & 36 when downloading movies from iTunes

I keep getting an error message (50 and 36) when I try to download a movie from iTunes. iTunes will download the file for approximately 5 minutes and then timeout. I searched for answers and have tried deleting the tmp files, restarting iTunes, disabling all firewalls. None have worked. I am able to download updates (small and large files) for my Apps and Music with no problems; I just can't get the movie to download. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Error 50 when downloading movie from iTunes

A movie I downloaded previously from iTunes onto my laptop (Win7) wasn't playing from my iPad2, so I erased it from the iPad and tried re-syncing it from my laptop...fail. After purchasing it a 2nd time from my laptop, the downlaod fails 25% into it, giving me a error 50. I've tried doing this hardwired and wirelessly with the same result, ran the network test....nothing. Any ideas?

ITunes 7.0.1(7): Problems Downloading Movies from iTunes Store

Prior to installing the iTunes 7.0.1(7) upgrade, I had no problems downloading movies from the iTunes store. After I noticed that there appeared to be rate-limiting on the inital movie that I purchased, I simultaneously downloaded three other movies and watched one of the movies while they were downloading.
No problems with downloading multiple movies but severe problems with using iTunes 7.0.0 as a viewer. An inadvertent movement or click of the mouse resulted in the video portion of the movie disappearing. To solve the problem, I created symlinks in the QuickTime Player's ~/Movies directory to the downloaded movies. Using QuickTime as a viewer was a significant improvement over iTunes.
Upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1(7) when it was released. Today I discovered that the release has significant problems downloading movies.
After the initial download of the movie to /private/tmp, the iTunes download panel displays a message stating that it is processing the file. One would assume that it is inserting the chapter bookmarks and transferring it to the ~Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies directory.
Not so. Its downloading the movie a second time. The processing file message is displayed a second time followed by a pop-up window reprting that the file is corrupt with an error code of 10008. Looks like one of Window's infamous network error codes. Wonder what it's doing on a Mac?
Enough of my diatribe. Are others seeing this? Do you have a "work around" or solution to the problem?
PowerBook 17, PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7.0.1(7)

I did run Disk Utility after reporting my problems here and to the iTunes Store. The "Check Permissions" scan found two iTunes with the incorrect permissions. As the permissions were correct prior to the upgrade, I presume the executable permission flags were turned on during the upgrade. Repaired the permission problems.
Also, I performed a reboot as was mentioned in a discussion of a slightly different problem. I was able to download one of the movies. The second failed about half-way through the download with a 9006 error.

HT4539 Downloaded movie from iTunes in iPad but doesn't show up

I tried purchasing a movie from ITunes on my computer first and it wouldn't finish so then I tried downloading it directly from the IPad and it doesn't show up at all. Am I missing something?

I haven't seen this or read about it here, but this is what I'd try, in order:
(I am assuming you activated the ipad, right? If not, do that first.)
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
3) Reinstall itunes on the computer.
