Error 3001 when trying to watch a rented movie

I've rented my first movie off iTunes Movie Rentals (Fantastic 4 - Silver Surfer). The file downloaded fine, but at the end of the download it shows error 3001 (There was a problem, etc.) but gives no specifics.
I tried it on my MacBook Pro and my girlfriend's Dell, both running the latest version of iTunes, but I get the same error when trying to play the movie, or when I click "Resume Download" (although it looks like the movie had downloaded already).
Any tips on how to fix this? I was looking forward to watching this with her tonight.
Not a good first-time experience with this rental thing I must say

I am getting the same error ("3001") when downloading - not watching. At first I was getting err = 8008. 8008 would happen about 1/3 through the download process. Download would freeze, and issue iTunes would alert an err = 8008. After contacting Apple, they claim to have reloaded the movie and instructed me to try again by:
1. Delete my /User/iTunes/Music/Download folder
2. Check for Downloads
After several attempts, the download process finally proceeded past the original freeze point. Download is now 99.9% complete, but now crashes and issues a pop-up alert "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (3001). There was an unknown error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
1.6G of 1.7G has downloaded. When I try to "play" the existing file, I am presented with another 3001 error pop-up.
Grrr....

  • Error (-12894) when trying to watch a rented movie

    Rented catching fire on ipad to stream to Apple TV, since appletv was being stupid asking me to keep verifying my payment info. Downloaded and processed, and when I click watch the iTunes Store app either crashes or gives me the unknown error with that number. I was charged for the movie. Fun stuff.

  • TS3694 what does it mean when it says error -42110 when trying to watch a rented movie and how do you fix it?

    tried downloading movie again but showed same error.

    Perhaps try the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • I get the following error when trying to watch a rented movie, "Anerror occurred loading this content".

    Hi,
    I get the following error message when trying to watch a rented movie, "An error occurred loading this content". Is this common?
    Thanks,

    It's common in the sense that you'll see this issue arise in the community from time to time, but in the context that the community is the place that users bring their problems it's probably similar to a broken shoulder which may be common at the hospital but not so common amongst the population that the hospital serves.
    In many cases the problem can be solved by restarting the Apple TV (pull the power for best results) and/or restarting your router. Persistent problems may indicate a network issue such as interference locally or a slow download speed from your service provider. Try the restarts and see if that helps.

    Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?

    If one is downloading directly to the iPhone via WiFi, it doesn't matter what version of iTunes is on the computer.
    I decided to sync my phone to Outlook via iTunes.  First thing, iTunes discovered that 7.0.3 was not on my phone.  It asked if i wanted to install it.  I said, "yes", and VOILA!! 7.0.3 is now installed on my iPhone.
    So therein is the answer.  Have no idea what bug is in there to keep it from loading to some phones directly via WiFi, but obviously, it is something!!
    There is no bug.  While you can update your iOS via wi-fi, it's recommended to do so via USB & iTunes.  Depending on your wi-fi connection & singal strength, you can get errors.  That's not a function specifically of the device.

  • Error 404 when trying to watch Macworld's Keynote 2009

    Hi guys,
    I was trying to watch the '09 Keynote Address from Apple's site on both IE and Safari. On IE, I can enter the site (http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0901ouabdcaw/event/index.html) but right after it goes to a page not found (http 404 error).
    When accessing via Safari, I can enter to the page, Quicktime opens but then, a message of "Bad Request" appears.
    Any thoughts on how to solve this?
    Regards,

    Ditto for me... Unsupported media type trying to view standard keynote on mac 10.4.11 with QT Pro v7.5.5 and the HD version is super choppy, broken up as mentioned before.. constantly stops, real bad.. and I have a fast internet connection, so speed isnt issue there... tried IE, Firefox, Safari, all same problem.
    Yet COULD watch the standard version or HD version keynote on a PC on same internet connection with QT (non-pro)7.5.5 (win XP 32 bit Home)
    So hope the solution to this is not buy a PC and not use Pro QT... haha but seems to be the solution for me.
