HT2666 Why won't my rented movie play?

I'm trying to play my rented movie for a second time within the 48 hour period in Australian, but when I click play, nothing happens, over and over. Tried turning it off and on etc. Anyone have any fixes for this?

I probably should add to it's on my apple tv. I'm a savvy user, so the normal answers probably won't help as I've already tried everything obvious.

I rented dark knight rises it won't play it's stuck on processing. What do I do?

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.

WHY WON\'T QUICKTIME HOME MOVIE PLAY ON TOUCHSMART

Why won't a quicktime home movie play on touchsmart 310
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Have you installed the quicktime software from Apple? There are other players that may also have the required codecs to play the video.
That is what is required in order to play a quicktime movie.

Why won't my rented movie show up on my ipad?

I've rented plenty of movies before so I know how it's supposed to work. I rented the movie, moved it to the iPad, synced, and my purple video bar goes up to show the movie is syncing, but when it says it's finishing the sync, the purple video bar suddenly goes way down and it doesn't put the movie onto the ipad. HOWEVER, on my imac in itunes, it shows the video is on my ipad. But, look in Videos on the ipad and it isn't there. I tried searching my ipad for the movie, and got nothing. It isn't there. So, i went back to delete the movie from the ipad and was going to sync and then move it back to the ipad and sync again, but now i get a message saying that if i delete the movie from my ipad i'll have to rent the movie again. ***? It shows the movie is on the ipad, but seriously... it isn't. My IOS is up to date.

No...rentals will still appear in the Videos app and like you said, a Spotlight Search should reveal them if they are actually on the iPad.
You did try the basic stuff, like close the videos app, reboot the iPad? You should ba able to "move" the rental back to iTunes on your iMac without penalty of having to rent it again.
From the iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ web site. I changed some of the type to italics for emphasis.
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

Why won't my rented movie synch from ipad to computer?

When I download a rented movie onto my ipad it no longer syncs to my dell laptop and so doesn't get onto my iphone. This used to work but now it doesn't. Also, my ipad seems to think it has way more video on it than it really does -- is this a related problem? The color bar at the bottom of the screen that shows how much space is taken up with video shows way too much video if I try to sync even one tv show. Help!

Films that you rent and download directly on the iPad cannot then be transferred to a different device - if you want to be able to copy rentals to other devices then you need to rent and download it via your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415

Why won't a Rented movie will not restart?

Rented a movie through iTunes I stopped it and now it will not restart

Welcome to the Apple community Triley937.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Hi bsiria,
If you are having an issue with one or more songs not playing completely, you may want to troubleshoot this by using the steps in this arcticle -
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Specifically -
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.

Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?
Thanks,

Depends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

Why can't I rent movies in South Africa

Why do we have limited functionality on the iPad simply because we linked to a South African account?
I can't download/rent/purchase any movies or music or games! This limitation is causing me to only use certain functionality on my iPad, which considering the price of the device doesn't seem fair. With the Anroyd application store you are not limited to certain apps or downloads, however with apple everthing seems so controlled! Can someone please comment on the above.

Why can't I rent movies in South Africa
Because the movie companies have not given Apple permission to rent their movies there yet.
Apple don't own or create the movies. They sell and rent them on behalf of the movie studios under license. They cannot sell and rent movies without permission.

There wasn't an answer, just a question. If you can provide a little detail around what's actually happening, and more about the environment (e.g. what model computer, its configuration, etc) it'll help people provide a solution .
