I can't purchase a movie in iTunes Store

For the last couple of days, I've been trying to purchase a movie (or two) from iTunes Store but it seems to lockup every time. I use a Mac mini 2012 computer as a media base and have purchased dozens of movies from the Store over the years onto this unit.
Simply, every time I select a movie's "Buy..." button, I get the spinning beach ball after a couple of seconds and it ends up spinning indefinitely (or at least 2 hours as far as I've allowed it). I tried 2 different movies. I tried logging out/in to iTunes account. I tried restarting Mac mini.
Nothing has worked so far?
Not sure why this is happening as it's never happened in the past w/ this very set up.

While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I can't purchase in apps from itunes store

I can't purchase in apps from itunes store. It said i must verify Password & Security Questions to purchase. But i fotgot my Password & Security Questions. So what can i do now? Please help me! Thank you!

From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Can you retrieve Danish movies on iTunes Store and on foreign movies you hen'ter here is Danish ttextaexts

Can you retrieve Danish movie on Itunes Store and are there Danish texts on all the movie on Itunes Store.

I have the same problem with Excel files on an external drive. The drive is attached to my computer which is on a network and another user accesses the external drive. The problem of "custom access" began after our main server went down. I hope someone can come up with a solution so that I can set the permissions. For now the Excel files are all read only.

TS4526 Can't find rented movies from iTunes store

Rented a movie on Saturday from my Apple TV. I checked downloads from settings and when I did this, the wheel just kept on turning. Tried this multiple times. I even waited 1 hour. Changed my setting to regular definiton so that it would download faster. Still no results. Where can I find the movie. My acct was charged since I received an email stating that I had purchased this movie.
Now what? I can't seem to contact the Itunes store to ask them?
Thank you for any help
Izzy

I'm guessing you've given up by now or found it yourself but I just had this problem with my iPad and Macbook Air. If you go into iTunes, navigate to the library, then toggle the upper left window to 'Movies' instead of 'Music', the center menu should change to a handful of movie-related choices. The first option is 'Rented' and that's where I found my rental.

My account balance was deleted and now I can't purchase anything from the iTunes Store

I redeemed a $100 gift card about a month ago, used barely any of it and now the balance has been deleted from my account. I added another $40 in gift cards today and still cannot purchase anything from the iTunes Store. A red message pops us telling me to contact iTunes Support. How can I:
1) Recover my account balance?
2) Make a purchase?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.

After purchasing a movie at itunes store, can u watch it without downloading it on your ipod or iphone?

Ive purchased a movie but ive scarcely enough space in my ipod to download it, so my question is, can i watch it on my ipod without downloading it bcause almost all the times appears error pn download

I do not belive so. I believe the video must still be downloaded to watch it.
However, you have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to the iPod touch forum.

Can I purchase from the US iTunes Store if I'm in the UK?

I'm sure this question has been asked before!!! Is there a way I can purchase TV shows from the US iTunes from the UK?

Sorry... But... You cannot use other Countries iTunes Stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country..

Can you purchase from a US iTunes store if you are in Australia???

I just want to rent or buy a movie that is available in the US iTunes store, but not available over here in Australia..
Does anybody know how I'd go about doing that or if it's even possible??
Thanks heaps... Paula

The USA iTunes Store requires that you have a billing address in the USA and be physically located in the USA.

I can't remember my security question answers and I can't purchase anything in the iTunes Store.

So I wanted to buy an app on my new iphone 5 right? Well, the store popped up, window was asking my password all the usual. Until it asked for the answers to my security questions. They were my first teacher, and my favorite teacher. Now because I made this account almost 6 years ago, I honestly cannot remember the answers to these questions! I cannot recall if I had put my actual FIRST teacher's name, or if it was the first teacher who pooped into my head. Ad my favorite teacher? Well that changes daily so who the heck knows what I had then. I just want apple to reset everything for me and let me choose new security questions. I did it for my sister's account, but it won't let me until I answer these darn questions. Someone please help!!

Reset Security Questions
     There are several different methods. Try one. If it doesn't work,
     then try the next one. Don't try to do everything at once.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Note: you may need to continue entering false answers to the questions until you trigger the response needed to start making changes. It will take six or nine retries.
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Why can't I rent movies in iTunes Store?

I press the rent button nothing happens

To add a bit to what Francisco said, movies will come to other countries if and when the movie studios allows Apple to provide movies outside the US. Apple has said that they hope to be allowed to do this sometime this year, but there is no guarantee that the studios will indeed come through. It's out of Apple's hands.

I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?

I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
Or transfer to his account?
Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde
