I have downloaded a movie but it will only play for about 5 seconds at a time. It doesn't seem to load in advance. Any suggestions?

I need help to understand what to do when my movies won't load so that i can watch them without it stopping and starting. Any suggestions?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting it from your iTunes library and redownloading it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? Re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • My iPad thinks I have downloaded a movie but I haven't.

    My IPad thinks I have downloaded a movie but I haven't?  What do I do?

    What makes you say that your iPad thinks it has a movie on it? Where are you seeing evidence of this?
    Did you do a search for the movie? From your home screen swipe to the right and type the name of the movie in the search field. Does it appear in there? If it does show up, tap on it and it should open in the videos app.
    If it doesn't show up - and you think the movie should not be on the iPad, reboot the device and see if the evidence of the movie goes away.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.
