HT4628 Why does a rented movie say it will load in 3 hours?!
Why do I get a message on appletv saying the movie will load in 3 hrs? I have a fast connection and no other devices on network. This is when renting from iTunes. Not a common occurrence. Thanks!
That may have to do with demand from the store as much as anything else. 2 hours movie typically is about 4.3 GB especially in HD. At FiOS speeds of 15 Mbps, it would take 2 1/4 hours to download. If you give it at least 25% download, you won't excede the buffer and the speed of the connection. iTunes may not stream in the conventional sense, in that every bit you download can be portrayed the moment it downloads. That's why I say, give it a little buffer room, and then start playing.

HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?
Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?
Hi fiercestorm,
It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -

Your ISP connection may be slow, or they're throttling the service.
Apple's servers may be playing up.
You may be using OpenDNS which can slow access to certain servers. -

Why does my downloaded movie stop 30 minutes in and says cannot load movie?
Probably because you don't have enough available storage space. How much do you have? Check at Settings>General>About>Available

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Why do I get an error message after renting a movie on apple tv, " this tv is not able to play this move"
I may have answered my own question. After some more research, it seems that the videos that won't play have a FairPlay value associated with them and they were all purchased prior to June 2009. Now I just need to figure out how to get around this.

Why does the new update say its going to take 5 hours?!?!
i started the download and its been going on for hours and its still not done. Under it it says 5 hours!!!! is it supposed to be that long?
Unfortunately, yes. Apple's servers are being hammered by literally millions of people trying to update their software. A long wait is super irritating but it's what usually happens.
Maybe cancel it and if you don't mind waiting a day or two, it'll be much faster work after the rush is over. -
HT1657 How long does the rented movie have to play before the 24 hour limit starts?
I hit play on my rental before I was ready to watch. How far into the movie before the 24 hour limit starts?
As far as I know the clock starts immediately you start playing it. You should be able to see how long you have left - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
On your device, the time remaining for you to finish watching the movie appears near the movie title.
I assume that you are in the US ? In other countries you have 48 hours from when you start watching it, not 24 -

What exactly are you trying to do? Is this a commercial movie that you are trying to import into iTunes? I don't know if you can import movies into iTunes unless you've purchased or rented them from the iTunes store. -
Why does my DVD player say I can change regions 4 times
why does my DVD player say I can only change regions 4x. I want to play some borrowed discs from my daughter.
DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

Why does my apple TV say it needs hdcp compatibility. It never said that before. Now my apple tv is not working.
Hello Rickpoulette,
The following article provides further information and could very well help get your Apple TV and your television cooperating again.
If HDCP authentication does not succeed, you may see one of the following symptoms:
A message may appear on your television stating "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection."
You may see periodic bands of static, or full screen static, flashing across your TV screen.
If you are experiencing either of the symptoms above, try playing the same content again for at least another 10 seconds. If the issue persists, try the following steps until the issue is resolved:
Connect your Apple TV (2nd generation) directly to your HDTV using an HDMI cable.
Set your Apple TV and HDTV to off or sleep mode
From the Apple TV interface, select: Settings -> Sleep Now.
Turn off your TV and wait for about 10 seconds.
Turn your TV back on.
Press the Select button on your Apple TV remote to wake your Apple TV.
Some HDTVs may need a firmware update. Consult your TV manufacturer's user manual or online support pages for additional information about how to update your TV's firmware.
If available, try using a different HDMI to HDMI cable, such as an Apple HDMI to HDMI cable, directly between your Apple TV (2nd generation) and 720p HDCP-compatible HDTV.

Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?
Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?
If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the used space is still so high. -
Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"? No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...
Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests. -
