HT1577 I am having trouble downloading rented movies.

Help $$$ going down the drain.
I am having trouble downloading rented movies. It tells me it is going to take 150 hours to download a 1gig movie. I am using a macbook pro. My internet is hight speed broadband and is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this problem? this has happened twice now.
Cheers

I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • HT202157 anyone having trouble with renting movies with Apple TV?

    Not sure what to do,  can't seem to rent on Apple TV tonight.  Netflix is working and Itunes on my MAC is working.  I can always plug Mac to sound system but....  Anyone out there ith same trouble today.
    BTW:
    I restarted AppleTV
    I plug/unplugged (the godd old alt/del)

    I appreciate you trying to help. However, I have NO idea how to check for a '3rd party DNS'. As I said, it worked flawlessly on Monday. Wouldn't that mean I was corrected properly?
    I went to Apple TV support and in answer to rentaing movies it referred me with a link to this:
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
    This is a link FROM the Apple TV page. So I should have 30 days to watch the movie. Under Settings is a "Search for rented movies" option. Isn't that where you would find your rentals that you have not watched yet?
    It's not that I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just do not have a CLUE how to provide what you are asking for.
    Thanks.

  • Having Troubles Downloading a Movie.

    I'm trying to download a movie I already bought and it won't let me. It says to check available downloads and when I do that it says the movie is already downloaded but it isn't in my library. Help!

    This will be dependent on your network.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net (instant 1080P stream requires minimum of 8mbps, 720P needs 6mbps)
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way? Perhaps you need the iMovie forum? If you do ask there be sure to include whatever format the Camera is shooting.

  • HT1657 Trouble downloading rented movies

    Rental movies are not downloading to my Apple TV. Instructions tell me to go to Settings-Downloads. This is not an option. I'm going to Settings-iTunes Store-Check for Rentals. Runs a long time ... Nothing happens. Do I need to just wait longer and try to keep it from going to sleep? Progress bar would be helpful.

    I'm having the same issue...payment went right through and i've been battling this download of the rental for 18 hours now...just endlessly retarts and says "beginning to download" and take 30 minutes, seemingly finishes...and then starts again.  Annoying...

  • I am having trouble downloading a movie with my iPod

    I had purched a movie on Feb. 23/14 and I had trouble with the downloading. I had a friend of mine help me with the problem, but now it is taking so many tries to download it.  It re-started at least four times now.  I wish it could just download already.  This movie costed me $19.99 (without taxes) and I would like to have it available so I can watch it.  I am asking for help, please.

    Delete stuff off of the iPad to make room for it.

  • I'm having trouble downloading a movie on my laptop

    I purchased a movie on my ipod touch and later went to download it on my laptop from my purchase history, and itunes told me that I had to repurchase the movie all over again to be able to download it. What is this all about? When ever I download music or a tv episode on my ipod, it downloads perfectly fine onto my laptop afterwards.

    Hello Loganchunn,
    It sounds like you made a purchase on the iTunes Store but it is not showing on your computer as available for purchase, and instead the iTunes Store shows that it needs to be purchased again. I would verify that the purchase was successful with your purchased history in iTunes with this article:
    iTunes Store and Mac App Store: Seeing your purchase history and order numbers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2727
    If you see it there, then use this article to download it from iTunes in the Cloud:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
    If the purchase is there but it is not available with the above article to download, or it is not there but you were charged, I would use the report a problem button underneath the purchase item to get in contact with iTunes support directly, or use this article:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

    how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • I am having trouble downloading a purchased movie from ITunes Help

    I am having trouble downloading a purchased movie from I tunes It keeps telling me there is an error and to tap and try again but all fails Help

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • HT202023 I have trouble with download rented movies, I was broken, and I can't watch this

    I have broken interenet during download rented movies, now I can't watch this,I can't make anything

    Cancel the downloads and reset the iPad (Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignor the off slider. Then turn the iPad back on). Go back to the Purchased screen in the I.tunes app and redownload. You may want to down load one at a time.
