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.

  • Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

    I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
    The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
    So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Intermittent problems
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    Consistent Problems
    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
    Port
    Type
    Protocol

    80
    TCP

    Bonjour/AirPlay
    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • Why can't I get a refund in the iTunes Store?

    I downloaded a song on iTunes yesterday by accident and only realised today, I went to the iTunes Store to get a refund on that purchase but it kept saying that it wasn't eligible for a refund. Is there anyway I can get my money back?

    We are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why.
    If the 'report a problem' page won't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page, but you might get a similar reply from them and not an explanation : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why can't I see my podcast in the iTunes store

    When I click on the link provided by Apple I see my podcast in the iTunes store, but when I just try to drill down to it through the iTunes menus I can't find it. I've noticed that there seems to be a maximum of five pages of podcasts for each category. Does this mean that there are other podcasts out there that you just can't get to without doing a search or something?

    Run Software update from the Apple menu or update yrou signature (it shows 10.8.2).
    What country store?

  • Why can't I Gift an iBook from the iTunes Store?

    I noticed that for some reason Books within the iTunes Store don't seem to have the Gift option.
    Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, even Audio Books can be gifted.
    Why is this?

    Why should the publishers even have to agree to it? It's none of their business, just like it's none of their business (nor do they have to agree) if I buy a physical book from a bookstore and give it as a gift.

    Hi brett242424,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application.  However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

  • Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store?

    Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store? Every review that is longer than 6 lines has three dots, indicating more, but nowhere to click to see the rest of the review.

    Thank you.  I only saw the word "More" on one review of one app that I looked at, and I knew to click on that. But many reviews of several apps had three dots at the end of the sixth line without the word "More".  And it was obvious there was more written because it was, for example, left in the middle of a sentence.

  • Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

    You really need to provide a little more information. Why don't you explain a little bit of what you have been experiencing, and maybe someone can offer some advice.
    Are you signed into the correct Apple ID? Do the apps start downloading at all? Do you get the "waiting" or "Loading" icons at all?
    What are you doing that isn't working?

  • Download error when renting a movie off the iTunes store app

    Hi, I tried to rent a movie off the iTunes store app today(I have rented before with no problems), but when it was in the processing stage it started saying Download error. Tap to retry. Now its taken up 1.3 gigs of space but it never finish processing so its not there. Very frustrating and i cant fix it.

    Apple Tech support doesn't respond here. This is a user-to-user forum.
    You can always restore your Touch to get the memory back. And as, of course, you have everything properly backed up (you do, right?), you can just reload when you're done. I don't know as there is a faster solution.
    Best of luck.
