HT1657 Why can't I play a rental movie on iTunes in UAE?

I am trying to rent a movie wile in UAE is there something that i need to do with my iTunes account? I wanted to test it out and see if i can rent a movie.

I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!

    Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
    iPads have a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
    The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if not in violation of fair use laws.
    The advantage of purchasing your movie as a DVD is that you can watch it on ANY device.
    For a better picture, and fewer hassles convert to analog. There are HDMI to Component video adapters available that will solve your problem.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.

  • HT5409 why can't I play an MPEG4 movie on my mac

    Why can't I play a movie shared from my MacBookPro as an MPEG4 on my MacBook Air or my main Mac computer?

    Have you tried VLC ? This problem can be easily solved with VLC player. If it does not work, you may need to convert MPEG-4 video to H.264 MP4 for playback on your Mac. Good luck.

  • Why can i not view my rental movie in the ipad video app

    hello everyone
    Hopefully someone can help as I'm getting a tad frustrated I have been for the last 2.5hrs trying to get a rental movie I have downloaded on to my computer to sync with my Ipad2 and its simply wont do it what could be wrong?
    I have so far
    restarted both computer and rebooted ipad.
    both softwares are up to date on ipad and on PC
    I have checked the restrictions and there doesnt appear to be any that I can see in the menu although saying that the movie selection can not even be highlighted in that menu.
    I have checked in the about and although itunes syncs the movie and it shows up in the bar below as the movie taking up space..in the about in the general part of settings it refreshed but still states 0 so itunes on the PC says its on the ipad but the ipad is saying it is not on the ipad....
    I'm going away on holiday next week and I was hoping to take a few rentals with me....I downloaded this one to test it out and see how well it worked so far its been frustraingly useless....im glad I never downloaded 30bux worth of movies.
    I have been searching and searching the net...I have come across one other person that appears to be having the same drama as me. however he is on here on apple support but no body has replied to him and he posted 3 months ago...so I hope someone can help me

    Is there anyone out there that might know whats wrong!!!!
    Surely someone must be able to help

  • HT1657 Why can't I find my HD movie rental after I downloaded it on my iPad 3?

    I can't seem to find a HD movie I recently rented and downloaded on my new iPad 3. It is not under purchased items and it is not under downloaded items. Also, when I go back to iTunes and look at the movie it says I already rented and downloaded it. I rented it last night around 10pm and couldn't find it is morning.
    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to find the rental?

    It should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
    If it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • Why can't I play an old movie purchased from iTunes and later uploaded to iTunes from an external hard drive on my Apple TV?

    I bought Ratatouille some years ago from iTunes downloaded onto a 1st gen Apple TV, and subsequently to an old MacBook.  I had backed that MacBook up to an external HD.  A couple computers from that time and now I have a new gen ATV.  I noticed that all my old movies showed up to stream on the new ATV's system except Ratatouille.  So today I decided to upload the movie onto my new MBP's iTunes.  But the movie won't show up on ATV.  Again, this is an iTunes-purchased movie so it has nothing to do with format.  I can play the movie through "home sharing" but I shouldn't have to leave my MBP open to play the movie - it should be available on my "purchased" selection that can be played at any time.  Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

  • HT1368 why can't i add a rental to my iTunes wishlist?

    Seems like a no-brainer, but can't be done as far as I can tell.

  • HT1657 Why can't you rent 'A Separation' in the iTunes store?

    They only let you buy the movie, and not rent it
    What Gives?

    It is not available for rent.
    Why do you find this so odd?
    Not all movies that are available for sell are available for rent.
    It is up to the owner of the distribution rights for the movie to decide what they will offer.

  • HT1657 Why can't I find a rented movie in downloads?

    All I get is a terms and conditions memo

    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • HT5922 Why can't I airplay my HD movie? (HDCP)

    I downloaded Hugo HD (iTunes 12 days of gifts) on my Macbook Pro and it won't let me airplay to my apple tv. I can airplay from itunes normally. The airplay symbol will stay up until I start playing Hugo and then it disappears. I've tried mirroring and dragging my itunes screen to my apple tv and it displays "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)" error message. Why can't I play my HD movie on my apple tv? What's the deal?

  • HT1657 My download keeps freezing, and I have to buy it over and over again and it wastes money. I have now rented my movie 4 times and it still won't finish downloading. Why can't I get the rental for free if it keeps doing this?

    MY DOWNLOAD KEEPS FREEZING AND I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT'S WASTING MY MONEY. I HAVE NOW RENTED MY MOVIE 4 TIMES AND IT STILL WON'T FINISH DOWNLOADING. WHY CAN'T I GET THE RENTAL FOR FREE IF IT KEEPS DOING THIS? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.

    Please turn off your caps lock.  All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many will not read such posts.
    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.
