I click on Rent Movie in my iTunes store app and nothing is happening.

I am trying to rent some movies on my iPhone 3GS. I have the most recent iOS on my phone. I click on Rent Movie and nothing is happening. iTunes isn't asking for my password, nothing in downloads or purchased. I'm not getting any error messages either. Literally nothing is happening. I am awaiting a response from iTunes support but I'm too impatient!

The usual explanation for this is that:
1. You have changed the iTunes preferences so that when importing a song the file is not copied into the iTunes media library - doing so is the default.
2. You have subsequently moved the original file, which iTunes has been using to play your song, and so of course it's lost contact with it.
If 1. is not the case, then the files in the iTunes Library (by default, in (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music) may have been moved, deleted or become corrupted. You should check in that library, but don't start moving files in there about. If this is the case you should delete the songs in the iTunes Music list, not in the Finder, and re-import.

  • 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.

    Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
    Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
    If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

  • ITunes Store App and Pay

    Can you use Pay setup with one Apple ID to purchase items on the iTunes Store that has a different Apple ID?
    Back when Apple launched the iTunes Store in 2003 I set up an account and my email address was made the Apple ID for the store. A couple of years later I got a Dot Mac account and an additional Apple ID based on my mac.com address. I've hoped for years that Apple would hire a high school student to merge their various Apple ID databases into one but it hasn't happened yet. So I have ALL of my iTunes Stores purchases (music, apps, books, etc.) under my original Apple ID and my other Apple-related stuff (these discussions, AppleCare, mac.com email and now Pay) under the second Apple ID (with MobileMe and iCloud, I've received further Apple IDs based on the respective me.com & icloud.com addresses, but I've never used them). Thus I'm faced with trying to purchase items under Apple ID 1 with a card that is listed under Apple ID 2.
    If I add the cc I attached to Pay to my iTunes Store account, would it work then?

    Hi .
    Yes.
    Only one Apple ID can be used with Apple Pay and you can use the same account you aready have setup in iTunes. Read here >Apple Pay FAQ - Apple Support

  • How to overcome error of rented movies downloaded to iTunes, not being copied to the iPad?

    I have downloaded two rented movies from the iTunes Store to iTunes 10, plugged in my iPad and continuly receive an error msg that "The Movie(s)" was not copied to the iPad because it (they) cannot be played on this iPad.  I've found this exact error on-line and Apple suggests that iTunes version 10 corrects this issue ... "Obviously it doesn't!!!"  I have researched this issue for three days now and every indication is that there should not be any problems, that all my software, downloads, iPad updates are up-to-date.  Any suggestions would be greatful.

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • I've purchased a movie from the iTunes store and I cannot get it to download? I've tried restarting the iPad...q

    help please...I cant download a movie I purchased

    The very first thing that I would try is to restart your iPad and try again. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the slider appears on the screen and slide to the right to power off. Hold down on the sleep/power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen to resetrt the iPad, after it starts up, try the download again.
    Another thing to try is to reboot your router. I realize that your WiFi is working, but sometimes this can kick start problematic downloads. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Try the download again after the router starts up.
    Something else to try that involves a few more steps ..... Close the iTunes Store app. Sign out of your Apple ID. Reset the iPad and then try again.
    Double tap the home button and swipe up on the iTunes Store thumbnail preview window to close the app. Tap the home button. Go to the home screen. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store> Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign in. Go back to the iTunes Store app and try to resume the download.

  • ITunes Store App: Previous next song not working

    I noticed that the previous and next track buttons are not working after selecting the play button under purchased items in the iTunes Store app and switching to the Music app. (confusing complicated concept if you ask me).
    I can choose another track of a purchased album by selecting it from the list (top right icon) but the previous / next buttons at the bottom bring me back to my music library with a search field.
    THANK you!

  • ITunes Store App Crashes! Help!!

    Installed the iOS 7 GM on my iPhone 5 last week and everything was working fine. Yesterday, I tried to open the iTunes Store app and it crashes every single time. It didn't happen until yesterday when the update went live, so could it just be overloaded servers? It opens on my iPad 3 (also with iOS 7) but just crashes on my iPhone. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    But still, it's the current version right? Does it matter when I installed it? I plug my phone into my Mac, launch iTunes and it tells me I am running the latest software. If there were no updates between the GM and the public release then isn't it essentially the same thing?

    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:

  • I rented a movie in the iTunes Store but now when I want to watch it it says; 'cannot load the movie' while it says the download has been completed.. What now? I already payed for it.

    Did you rent the movie on your iPad?  Are you trying to watch it on your iPad?
    Do you have WiFi connectivity when trying to start viewing the movie?
    You should have answered "yes" to all the above.  If not, that is probably the source of your issue.

  • HT1390 Rented movie disappeared from iTunes

    I rented a movie, and it downloaded. There was a problem with viewing the movie, so after it downloaded I restarted iTunes to find that my movie has disappeared. 5 EURs is pretty expensive to watch 5 minutes of a movie. Apple, where is my movie?
