I have downloaded a movie to rent from iTunes but it is giving me an error message 5103. What does this mean?

The fix for this is supposed to be resetting the system clock to automatic time, but this, as we've seen, more often than not fails to work. After a bit of an email exchange between Apple support and myself I discovered the true fix for this issue, or at least, the one that they said to use and that worked for me.
After resetting your clock go to the folder /Users/Shared in Finder and delete the folder "SC Info". This is a hidden folder, so the way you will need to get it to appear is to use the go to folder command (Shift + Command + G) and type in /Users/Shared/SC Info and hit enter. Change to the column view and you'll be able to see the folder there. Move it to the trash and it will go away, and take your problems with it. Restart the computer for the deletion to take effect and then reauthorize your itunes. Should play your rentals after that.
Props to Zarchanalin for the answer!

  • Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?

    I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes.  I keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?  I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed.  I tried this and that didn't help.  I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc.  I have not tried this yet.  I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue.  I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord.  Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities?  Thanks for the help.

    A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

    Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
    You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust.  Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.

    Nfunchio13 that is fairly unique error.  Unexpected errors like this are typically the result of the firewall settings or security software interfering with the Adobe Creative applications from being downloaded.
    Nfunchio13 what type of networking environment is your computer utilizing?  You can find guidance on how to resolve download errors at Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

  • TS1372 i have an error 1434? what does this mean?

    i have an error 1434? what does this mean?

    Hi Ceecee,
    Find My iPhone is a generic term that is used for this feature regardless of whether it is turned on on an iPad or an iPhone.
    If you deleted your iCloud account on your iPad, and have not signed back on to iCloud, then the Find My iPhone feature is turned off, and your device is not protected nor can it be tracked if it is stolen.
    Sign back into iCloud on your iPad, and go to Settings>iCloud to turn Find My iPhone back on to remedy this situation, if you wish.
    Cheers,
