  • We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?

    We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?  They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now.  What's up?

    Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks.  It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively.  Tonight has been no exception.
    I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause.  My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
    I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm.  I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there.  My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
    I have both a first and second generation AppleTV.  When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame.  The issue affects both.  I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
    So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so...  it must be on the delivery end.
    Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers.  They should.  In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
    I was an early adopter of AppleTV.  It has not been problematic until now.  This is trying my patience.  My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens.  I do.
    I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services.  If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

  • HT1657 Will I need wifi to watch the movie I rent from iTunes?

    If I rent a movie from iTunes will I need wifi to watch it?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

  • HT1657 Watching rented movies on an airplane????

    Do you have to be connected to the internet to watch a rented movie? Can I watch it on an airplane?

    As long as they have been fully downloaded to the Videos app on your device then you should be able to watch them without needing to be online.

  • Can you watched rented movies on an airplane with the NEW iPad ?

    Have some traveloing coming up and wondering this-

    do I download the rented movie to the Mac Book Pro, then synch and with Ipad and move it over then?
    You can do it that way if you wish, though here's a separate process for moving a rental; it's not just done by synching. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
    Or you can rent it directly from your iPad. Note that if you rent from your iPad, you cannot then move the movie to any other device, though that may not be an issue for you.

  • HT3180 I tried again later several times and am afraid the rental period will expire and will not be able to watch the movie. The system also does not allow me to re-purchase the movie.

    I've rentented a movie and would like to watch it. Consistently I receive the message "an error occured loading this contnt ...try again later". I've tried over a long period several times but always receive the same message. Also, I tried to re-purchase the movie but the system does not allow this. It just confirms "you have already rented this movie". any suggestions. Can't I just cancel the rental since I have not even fully streamed the movie/

    Likely network related
    What is your current connection, use speedtest
    Go to istumbler or netstumbler to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise
    If on wifi try Ethernet
    Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)

  • HT1657 Do I need Internet to watch rented movie?

    Want to download a movie. Then I want to watch it later. I don't have Internet where I want to watch it.

    No you don't

  • HT1657 Can you watch rented movies in airplane mode?

    can you watch rented movies from itunes on your iphone in airplane mode?

    Actually, I just called AppleCare and they told me that an Internet connection was required. I tried it anyways. Once the rented movie is fully downloaded onto your iPad, it will appear in the Videos app, in the Rentals section. From there, even if you turn the airplane mode on, you should be able to press the play button and watch the movie. Note that I rented the movie in HD format and that I use the iPad 3rd generation.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,

    Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?

    If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
    iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
    If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
    Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content.

  • If I download a tv show from itunes, will I be able to watch it on a plane without wi-fi?

    I'm going to take a trip with my son and want to know if I download one of his favorite show from itunes, will he be able to watch it on the plane?  My ipad only has wi-fi not 3G so I won't have any internet connection on the plane.

    Thank you.  It's a long trip so I have to keep my son entertained.

    can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    Yes. although you do occasionally hear about people having problems.  If your trip is less than 24 hours, it might be a good idea to start the movie while you're connected to WiFi (which will start the rental clock ticking) and pause it.  You're not supposed to have to do this, but some people swear it prevents the occasional glitch.  I've only rented a couple of movies and they worked find on the plane.
