Google Movie Rental App on K1

I've contacted both Google and Lenovo about being able to access the Google movie rental app. They indicate that Lenovo hasn't entered into an agreement with Google to make the K1 compatibale with their Movie Rental App, Videos.
I like Google's movie rentals because you can rent a film for 24 hours and view it on a device without having to be connected to the Internet. This is handy when flying.
Has anyone found a possible work around to this limitation? I wish Lenovo would just certify with them though.

There's a previous thread on this board regarding this topic... bottom line, they got the device approved, but chose not to include the certified Google Market App in favor of their Lenovo market app. I have no problem with them trying to do that, but only if it's like-for-life features, which it obviously isn't. Lenovo hasn't provided any insight into when they will have a movie capabilitie in their market app. And, they aren't listening to customers on this one.
Luckily, I bought the OfficeDeport insurance and will "break" my device during my vacation coming up. I'll use the money towards the Toshiba device that will allow me to have what I want. I feel like it was deceptive marketing on Lenovo's part.

Google says Toshiba need to update out android market app so we can get google movies. Jim!

Since I don't want to call Toshiba 's foreign country/non English speaking customer service,I thought this would be the next best thing. I spoke with a Google representative today and he was pretty helpful. He told me that the reason the Google movies app doesn't work is because it it up to Toshiba to release the new android market update to us. So can we please get this done?

It looks like Xoom users just got their new Market update last week.

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.

TS1539 How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

K1 and Android Market Movie Rentals

Have anyone had any luck getting the Android Market to allow you to download their app "Videos" and use it for movie rentals? When I contact Lenovo, they indicate that they have certified with Google and it's Google's issue. I have lobbed an email into Google, but not heard back.
They have a great service since they will let you download and view the movie offline as long as you do it within 24 hours. Excellent for travelers that fly alot.

That explains the versioning of the Android Market app on K1. I thought it was odd that it was 1.0.28... whereas Google support always refer to version to Android Market version 3.3+.
I've been looking for the latest Market to get the PIN/parental controls. On a side-note/rant -- With the existing Android Market, my younger one has already made some in-app purchase charges playing with a game from GAMEVIL (BTW for K1 owners DO NOT DOWNLOAD GAMEVIL games ie AirPenguin if you have young ones. Their games make it easy to purchase items and they were not refunding it. Apparently I'm not alone if you look at the 1 start reviews. I've already lost $$$ which I'm trying to get back... In the meantime I advise anyone with Google Wallet accounts to remove their Credit Card)
Lenovo, please put an updated version of Android Market in your next update!!

HT203167 I downloaded a movie rental and I can't find it in my library. I downloaded it again, even thought it said I had already purchased it. It is not in my library, where is it? Anyone!!!!

Hi, can anyone give me a suggestion on how to find a downloaded movie rental, purchased in iTunes on my iPad? I repurchased it, even though it said I had already downloaded it. I can not find it in my library. Thanks if anyone has a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. Bored in Southampton.

Check from your Video App.

How can I move my apps from one computer to another?

Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

ITunes Movie Rental Playback too dark

I have downloaded 100s of GBs of video podcasts, free TV programs, & other free video content from the iTunes Store since I obtained my Mac Mini (Early 2009 2.0GHz-4GB-320GB OSX.6.6, 'iTunes 10.2 (34)') in 11/2010, and they have all played admirably--no complaints--on my 14 year-old Samsung CRT SDTV (connected via Mini-DVI to VGA and this converter box [http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&pid=4724&seq=1&format=2]. In fact, ANY video (QT, Flash, Silverlight, etc.) I've played on it has displayed wonderfully...this is mainly what the Mini is used for.
(I should note that the Mini shipped with OS 10.6.3, but when I upgraded to 10.6.4, the overall display had a markedly richer, but darker quality to it--enhanced the desktop & apps' appearance, but (as many on these boards at the time decried) added darkness to all video. I went through convulsions re-calibrating the color using the provided system software, but could never quite get back to the as-purchased video luminance, and had to compromise with a "futzed" calibration. Subsequent OS updates have not changed this).
However, last night, for the very first time--and I've had an iTunes account practically since the iTunes Store opened--I decided to make a real purchase, and rent a movie while visiting some friends. I brought my Mini & cables over, plugged into their similar vintage Panasonic SDTV the same way as into mine: via RCA jacks; had done this before to show it off, and everything displayed fine without a hitch. We also both have FiOS broadband internet. Before renting, everything was great--I showed off photos using the OS screen saver, then played with Front Row, watched a Danish cooking show podcast (quality was near normal SDTV), so, everything was functioning properly.
I went into the iTunes Store and ordered the rental for "Inception" (no HD option, and I have iTunes configured to always play SD quality in prefs). Not five minutes after the download began (it said the 2GB+ file would d/l completely in 62 minutes), I double-clicked on the Inception icon to begin playing, and when the video window appeared, clicked the diagonal arrows to go into full screen. Boy, was this video dark! We might have thought it was intentionally produced that way, but one of my friends had seen the film in the theater, so I knew something was wrong. After half an hour of suffering (could not make out details at all--we were actually missing plot items), I paused the movie, and went into display prefs to try to lighten things up--didn't have time to do a full-blown re-calibration, but I unchecked "Show profiles for this display only" and picked a non-specific profile that was the brightest. It helped some, but at that point I figured I'd never rent from iTunes again...really a waste of $4 (beforehand, my friends were going to get the DVD from Redbox for $1, and told them the $3 savings would not be worth it).
After 90 minutes or so, I attempted to rewind a bit on the Apple Remote (old white version) as I had already done many times--but this time I supposed I held the "back" button too long, and the movie display disappeared completely. "WhaddidIdo?" So, I double-clicked the Inception icon in iTunes Rentals again, maximized to full screen, and was rather confused--the new movie window was SO BRIGHT AND FULL OF PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN DETAIL that I had trouble finding where I had originally intended to rewind to...the difference was so great, it seemed like a different film! "Don't touch anything else now!" my friends implored: "Leave it like that! That's how it looked in the theater."
WHUHAPPEND?
After the film's end, I stopped it just as the credits began, and went back to watch the beginning again...watched for half an hour or so to get what we had missed in the darkness. Then, being late, stopped it and shut down, intending to watch more of it at home before the file expired this evening. Despite the late hour, I couldn't resist hooking up my Mini at home again and trying it out. BUMMER. I could watch it, but it was back to the "dark ages." All my other videos--podcasts, streaming flash, whatever--all still look great. Just not this paid movie rental.
Any ideas, folks? I sure am skeptical now of purchasing ANYTHING ELSE on iTunes again.

Hi Epski
Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

HT1657 Using a VGA adaptor with iPad 1 for iTunes movie rentals?

I have an iPad 1 with a VGA adaptor to display supported apps on external displays like YouTube and GoodReader. I tried to use this with a rented SD movie from iTunes and I got a warning along the lines of "output device not supported for protected material." Is there a way to do play iTunes rentals on an external display from the iPad? This is simple on a MacBook.
Thanks,
RSR

iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657?viewlocale=en_US
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Cheers,

Do movie rentals go to icloud until used, because I get messages that I need to buy more storage when it says 4.8 out 5.0 is available

Do movie rentals "wait" in cloud until being viewed? I get download errors and that I need to manage my storage when there is 4.8 out of 5.0 available.

thank you...I was downloading a rental to add to only 5 others, and I have 1 movie. I got a download error that sent me to manage my storage. When I opened that up it was the screen to add more Icloud storage. Apparently we get 5 GB....and it offered 5 more.I did not see anywhere else to buy any other storage. I did remove a bunch of apps (I have a total of 36 so I didn't think that was an enormous amount, but I removed about 7 and then was able to download the rental. I was putting on a bunch as I am heading for Europe and wasn't sure if I could download there. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. This is new to me, so when the IPAD sends me to settings and to manage storage, I'm just didn't know where else to be looking.

Movie rentals not syncing

movie rentals are not showing up on my ipad in videos even though they show moved in itunes. I am also set up for home sharing, but I cannot find the option to select in order to access the other devices to try and watch the movie's through home sharing

Do a Spotlight Search for movie on iPad.
1. From any Home screen page of iPad, drag your finger down anywhere on the center of Home screen.
2. Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you'd like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.
