HT1657 rented a movie but would not load

Sorry to be a bother but I rented a movie and it did not load and now it;s expired.

Hi.  I've had apple tvs (3 of them) for a while.   I tried to rent a movie tonight and got the option to either view immediately, or save for later.  I chose the latter.  I went to the settings > check for downloads, and see that it is downloading now.  A few questions:  1) do I need to let it download completely to recall it later?  2) I've seen other post that says everything is erased when I turn the unit off when I go to bed, so am I going through a pointless endeavor that I'll just have to redo once I actually want to view the movie?  3) I didn't know that the apple TV has secondary storage.  Does it? 
One last comment.  Implicit in Apple's policy of digital content is that the digital content needs to actually be accessible before the 'sale is final'.  Just sayin'.

  • HT1657 Rented a movie that did not fully download in 24 hr period

    I rented a movie on Apple TV. While watcing the movie, it would freeze and the screen said it was loading.  I was unable to watch the entire movie during the 24 hr period because it was loading until it expired.This never happened before. What can I do? Can I get Apple to download it again? Can I get a refund? I don't want to pay to rent the same movie and have this happen again.

    Go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • HT1657 Rent a movie but I can not watch my movie on my iPod why is that

    Why I can not watch my movie if I do not have problemes before watching movies

    What Adobe Digital app on your iPad? If you are talking about a third-party app (like Bluefire Reader) you need to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and select Apps in the Sidebar. Scroll down to the File Sharing section, select the app you plan on using, select Add (bottom right), navigate to where the book is on your computer, select the book and sync your iPad.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie but had to interrupt the download as I was not near a Wi-Fi hot spot for a period of time.  I boarded a plane and then could not watch the movie.  Can I get a credit for the rental since I was not able to watch it?

    I was downloading a rented movie but could not finish the download before I had to board a plane.  I went to play the movie on the plane but received an error message and could not watch it.  I was charged for the rental.  Can I get a credit?

    Personally I would raise the problem with iTunes Store Support via:

    You can also Report a Problem via the link in your Purchase Invoice e-mail or from your iTunes account Purhcase History by logging into your Account Settings in iTunes on a computer.

  • HT4367 Rented a movie but it won't download. Rented it again and was told to go to settings and download. Should I be renting from iCloud and not my iMac? Never happened before and been renting all week since Thanksgiving!

    Apple TV 2 with rebooting the iPhone 7.04 and iMac running Mavericks and rebooting TV etc today. Selected to rent a movie but it started to download and we lost it. Tried to rent again and was told it wasn't downloaded. Went to settings and only get spinning circle when I try to download the rental. Apple TV up to date and been renting all week since Thankgiving. Only 4.99 but making me nuts. Help anyone??

    Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
    So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

    I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it.  I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer.  When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere.  How do I watch the remainder of the rental?

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

  • I rented a movie but it will not play.

    I rented a movie but it will not play. I get a message saying there is a problem and then iTunes shuts down.  The help screen then says to download the latest version to avoid this problem, but I already have.  What do I do to be able to watch the movie I rented?

    Try:

    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.
    - If you can redownload it by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The delete and redownload

  • Websites would not load unless I move my cursor for Firefox RC

    Whenever I load a website, I notice that unless i move my cursor a little, the website would not load. I didnt notice this for previous versions of FF though.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
