HT1657 I downloaded a film for rental from itunes and it will not play properly,why?

I rented a film last evening The book of Kells and it will not play properly.  My computer has more than enough memory or whatever it needs and I am using an account I have used in the past with success.  The films starts, then stops, then speeds ahead like it is not successfully loaded.  Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where did you download it to and is it a purchase or rental.

  • I have downloaded a rental from itunes and it will not play. I have unplugged the apple tv and restarted my computer.  I just keep asking me to authorize which I do then it tells me it is already authorized but the move never starts.

    This has never happened before when I have rented.

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

    I had to wipe and re install Itunes on my mac minni.  When I bought the hobbit, it will not play.  I get a prompt to sign into Itunes and the movie will not play.  I am logged into Itunes and still no luck?

  • Apple tv  "unauthorized"  it was a rental from itunes and the previous movie played no problem.  From ipad on mirror.

    it was a rental from itunes and the previous movie played no problem.  From ipad on mirror.

    Was an internet connection available?
    I'm not sure I would ever play a rented movie by mirroring from an iPad as mirroring is lossy and reduces quality.
    It may actually not work via mirroring.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I downloaded a song to my itunes and it will not play.  How do I get it to work?

    I downloaded a song off of itunes and it will not play but indicates that it is downloaded.  Any thoughts on how to get it to work?

    Hi randybratton,
    If a specific song that was purchased on your iPhone won't transfer to iTunes on your computer, you may want to try redownloading it directly to your computer from the iTunes Store. You may find the following article helpful:

  • TS1412 i purchased a movie from itunes and it will not download! why?

    i am on vacation and wanted to relax with a nice long movie so i purchased the film scarface for 9.99 on itunes and it will not download and through all of my effort to make it download i have learned about converters and all kinds of mumbo jumbo how do i just watch the movie that i purchased? i do not want to get a refund for the movie....

    this is the iMovie board - about the editing software delivered free with any Mac.
    purchased movies can only be playbacked in iTunes.
    any mumbo jambo probably gets better explained in the 'iTunes for Windows'-section of this board:

    Hey Nana Girl,
    Thanks for the question. Let's see if we can isolate this issue further. Can you try deleting the video from you iPad, then redownloading it? To delete a video from our iPad, see the following:
    Delete a video from iPad. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video thumbnail. If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video thumbnails—those videos haven’t been downloaded to iPad, so you can’t delete them. To delete an individual episode of a series, tap the series, then swipe left on the episode in the Episodes list.
    Deleting a video (other than a rented movie) from iPad doesn’t delete it from the iTunes library on your computer of from your purchased videos in iCloud, and you can sync the video or download it to iPad again later. If you don’t want to sync a deleted video back to iPad, set iTunes to not sync the video. See Sync with iTunes.
    via Add videos to your library - iPad User Guide

    After you have successfully deleted the video from your iPad, try redownloading it using the following steps:

  • HT201272 I dont understand how I can purchase a song from itunes and it WILL not transfer to my iPhone? What is the purpose of paying for music in the first place? I have authorised my computer. I have authorised manual transfer. I can transfer every song

    I've purchased music from iTunes and CANNOT drag to my iPhone...WHY? I have clicked manage myself and authorised my computer. What is the point of buying music if you cannot transfer from iTunes to an iPhone? I can happily transfer my CDs.????? I have the latest update on my iPhone and iTunes.

    Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

  • I bought a movie on itunes and it will not play even after re-downloading it.

    I bought a movie on itunes, it would not play. I contacted apple support people, and they told me to delete and re download it, I did that and it still will not play, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if my itunes isn't up to date, or maybe it's because I'm not trying to play it on an apple device. Whatever the case me be, I just really want to watch this movie, or get a refund.

    You should be able to play films on windows computers, if it wasn't compatible with it (e.g. you should have got an error if you tried to buy an HD film on non-HD compatible computer).
    The current version of iTunes is 11.4 - you can see if there are any updates available via the Help > Check For Updates menu option.
    Or you can download the current version of iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    What happens when you try to play the film, and do other videos that you have in your iTunes play ok ?
    If you can't get it to play but other videos play ok then contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Discs burned from iTunes 10.1 will not play on some Sony CD players

    I'm having a problem with 32 bit iTunes 10.1 (on Windows XP sp3) where burned discs will not play on my Sony CDP355 or CDP400 carousel CD players but will play on a Sony CDP455. Discs burned with earlier versions of iTunes used to work fine with these players (I think). Also, these "incompatible" players did not recognize the disc as one containing CD text. In fact, they would not read the disc at all.
    My friend running 64 bit iTunes 10.1 on a Windows 7 machine doesn't have this problem with discs she burns. They will play OK on those exact same players.
    Burned files seem to play OK on most of my other CD players and I have confirmed the files are CDA format files (not MP3).
    I had selected MAXIMUM SPEED, AUDIO and INCLUDE CD TEXT in my burn settings.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for this suggestion. I reduced the burn speed to 12X (my burner is 48X maximum) and made another copy. It works just fine. I'll experiment with higher speeds later but for certain the 12X speed solved the problem.

  • I have downloaded videos from iTunes but they will not play- message says unable to complete this operation.

    Why are the videos I have downloaded not able to play.when I go to play them the message says unable to complete this operation

    The iTunes Store will direct you to the same article. As Hackintosh said, first delete the track from iTunes, allowing it to move the track file to the trash. Then in iTunes on your Mac, sign into your iTunes Store account and go here:
    In the window you'll be taken to, make sure that the Music tab and "not on this computer" are selected, then locate the defective track in the list and click this button next to the track name:
    Regards.
