HT1657 I rented a movie from Itunes and it won't play on my macbook

I rented a movie and it won't play...it shows that time has elapsed on the movie but it is just a blank white screen.

If you've downloaded it on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app. If it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

HT1498 I just bought Apple TV 2 weeks ago. I have a brand new Samsung LED TV. Everything works fine. I rented a movie from iTunes and it took 4 hours to download. My friend said this is wrong, his movies play instantly, so what's wrong?

I rented a movie from iTunes and it is on my IPad. I wanted to watch it on AppleTV and there is no airplay icon showing up on the movie

That won't be possible. You can only view a rental on the device used to do so, unless it is done via computer (in which case you can stream using home sharing)

My iPod touch is plugged into PC. My iPod is shown, but when I drag content from iTunes library to it I end up with an error message that says it "Cannot copy item" then "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." What to do???

Yes you can drag and drop music to the iPiod if you select Manually Manage Music and Videos in iTunes.

You do not drag the music to put it on the iPod, you click into the iPod tab and sync it with your library.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

HT1386 I recently purchased an album from itunes. When I subsequently sync'ed my ipod touch I ended up with all tracks of that album doubled on my ipod and I lost all my playlists. Subsequent syncing has not fixed it. Any ideas what to try?

- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

I purchased a season of a TV show from itunes and it won't go onto my ipad, i've purchased several seasons in the past and never had this issue, how can i fix this?

Drew how is that even possible? I use gift cards all the time, any time I've had insufficient funds iTunes will not allow the purchase, sights Insufficient funds and rejects the purchase. Any time I log into my account the money in that account appears in the upper left corner. If you're not seeing that then you have other issues. Anyway... Kneil is right you should be able to rip CDs you own to your iTunes library (regardless of your money matters with iTunes), then depending on how you set up the music you need to add it to your playlist and then sync it to your iPod. Did imported music ever work? How are you ripping or importing the music to iTunes? Are you using a compatible format?
Something else to look at-- It's possible your cable is defective, have you tried a new or different cable? Some of what your describing is a bad cable issue. Good luck, Cheers.

I downloaded 21 songs recently to iTunes and they won't sync with my ipod. 1st time this has happened. Any ideas to download these songs would be appreciated.

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

HT1725 I have rented ten movies from iTunes and they claim to have been downloaded but they all seems not to have been downloaded properly because they all stop after playing for just a minute or two. What do I do?

I have rented ten movies from iTunes store and to my chargin they don't play on my iPad after it indicates it's been already downloaded. This has happened to me a couple of times and I just ignore it and rerent the movies. But now it's all the eight movies I rented and two tv shows, one of which I bought a seasons ticket. What can I do to be able to watch these movies or get iTunes to credit back my account. Thank

Does this happen quite often?

I rented a movie from iTunes and now it's not working

I rented a movie from iTunes on my iPad and it started downloading. For some reason it stopped. The movie is showing up in the video app but when I hit play or the download cloud it tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it. I go back to iTunes and the download section is gone. I go back to the movie, where you can buy or rent, and it says watch....which if clicked on takes me back to videos. And then it again tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it and to go to Downloads to manage my downloads. THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD SECTION OR OPTION IN ITUNES....IT IS GONE!! I have closed iTunes and restarted my iPad several times and am still having the same issue. I have rented movies in the past with no issues. I have NO IDEA what is going on and am very very frustrated. Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks!!

I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

How can I rent a movie from iTunes and watch it on my MacBook w/o being connected to internet?

Trying to figure ot how to rent movies from iTunes and watch w/o being connected to web. The dude at the apple store said that when I download it I can designate if I want it downloaded to my device (ie: MacBook) or my Cloud...but I don't see that option being given. Any help? Traveling Tues and I'd like to get a few movies set for my trip.

Just sync your iPad.

I just bought a movie from itunes and can I copy it to my DVD to watch on a DVD player or only on an APPLE product?

I bought bought a movie in itunes and want to copy it to a DVD to play on a DVD player. Can I or must it be an APPLE product? If so, am disappointed since I can buy music and I own it and I paid full price to own it.

You own it but you don't own the copyright.
Copying movies in iTunes is not permitted.

I bought a movie on itunes and it won't sync to computer - it says the computer's not authorized

The computer is authorized and I can transfer all other purchased movies and TV shows. Just not the most recent.

Have you tried signing out and then signing back into your account on the iPad? Settings>Store>Apple ID>Sign Out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account again and then see if the movie will sync.
Another thing that you can try is transfer purchases from your iPad to the iTunes library and then try to sync.
I realize that you want to sync a movie from iTunes on your computer to the iPad, but I am just trying to think of a way to "reset" your iTunes account and get everything back in order again.
You tried restarting the iPad and resetting it as well? Quitting iTunes, restart your computer and then try again?
One other thing that is really a long shot but you can try it - and it works for third party apps that are crashing - download an app - any free app - that is supposed to reset some security issue in your iTunes account and maybe that would work in this case.
