I have rented a film on iTunes using my iPad but when it reaches the download stage I get an error message saying cannot connect to the server.

Error regarding server connection problems when trying to download rented film on my ipad

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

  • I downloaded itunes to my computer, but when i try to add my music to my iphone it says cannot connect to the iphone store

    I downloaded iTunes on my computer with windows 7. when I try to add my music to my iphone it says cannot connect to the iphone store

    Is this a new computer?
    Have you transferred your library to it?
    Have you authorised the computer to your Apple ID?
    Are there app or media items on the device that aren't on your computer?
    I suspect if there is any protected content involved anywhere in the mix, apps for example, that iTunes will want to "phone home" to check.
    If you haven't transferred your library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I rented Hotel Transylvania from iTunes two days ago to watch tonight on Apple TV. I get an error message about not available in U.S. and it won't play. What gives?

    you may have inadvertantly purchased it from a non us itunes store section of itunes. go to expresslane.apple.com to get a refund and if you want to rent it again, on your computer itunes screen, scroll all the way to the bottom, and make sure the country indicator at the bottom right has the usa flag

  • Itunes says I must update to 11.1, but everytime I try to run it I get an error message saying:  "an error occured while running installation"  Help?

    Itunes says I must update to 11.1, but everytime I try to run it I get an error message saying:  "an error occured while running installation"  Help?

    The full message reads:  "Errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured.  Your system has not been modified.  To complete the installation, run the installer again.  Click finish to exit the installer."
    I have run it again and get the same message.  Have rebooted and tried again.  Same results.

  • App store updates I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    On my iphone under the App store updates, I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
    it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly?  Weird. 
    It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account.  I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments.  I don't want to do that. 
    I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...

  • I rented a film on itunes on my ipad but i cant find it

    i rented a couple of films from itunes on my ipad but now i cant find them after they downloaded, ive search my ipad and the itunes on a laptop any help???

    They should be in the Videos app - if they aren't in there then have you got a film age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?

  • When I try to connect to App Store,I get an error message stating "cannot connect to iTunes Store.  I show 3 bars on wifi connection

    When I try to connect to App Store, I receive an error message stating, "cannot connect to iTunes Store.  I show 3 bars on my wifi connection?  Can someone help...why if I tap App store, does a iTune error message display?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • TS1702 Trying to download free solitaire application and error message that cannot connect to itunes store

    Please contact me ASAP - having an issue on iphone 4 - app store trying to download a free solitaire application and it give an error message that cannot connect to itunes store

    Hello, perhaps this may help: http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2006/03/05/explanation-on-the-502-error-to-de lta-and-sun-sites/ the comments have some specific references to iTunes.
    The issue is that it's almost certainly a problem with your firewall/proxy and not iTunes so you might be hard-pressed to find help here as suggesting help for private LAN infrastructure is not the same as suggesting help for iTunes. Usually I'd suggest turning the proxy off and work your way backwards to find out where the problem is but I guess this isn't possible.
    Anyway, have a look at the link and see if it helps.

  • Installed lion on iMac. Now our three iPhones and iPod can browse app store. But when we try to install we get an error that says cannot connect to iTunes. Same on wifi and AT

    I updated my iMac to lion and set up iCloud and icloud email so I could use pages app on my 4s as well as my Mac to work on documents.I was only able to log into my new iCloud mail account once. And never again. Even with security questions.  Purchased pages for Mac and 4s. After I set  up I cloud/ work everything went crazy. My apple Id quit working. My security questions would not accept my answers. So I set up a new apple account. The system allowed me to set it up using the same i.d.since then I have updated everything. The systems on a 4s, two 3gs's and an iPod touch I can browse the app store and iTunes but when I try to download or update anything it accepts my password and then says " Cannot connect to store" this happens all the time on the 3gs's and iPod and about 90 percent of the time on the 4s. It happens using wifi and or 3G data network. Also my Mac and the 3gs's are now super sluggish.

    Simple...

  • I Have an Iphone 4 and I am having constant hassles with facetime, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problems. I keep getting an error message saying bad connection. I have the latest updates installed on my Iphone.

    I have constant messages of Poor connection coming up on my phone when I facetime, I am at home and I am using my home wi-fi, Why is this happening.

    FaceTime uses Wi-Fi, so you have a weak Wi-Fi connection message. Your Wi-Fi needs to be upgraded.

     One thing I notice is that the _mmServerScripts folder does not show up in my Local Files folder - even after refreshing. (The underscore must hide this folder?)When I change the drop-down from Local View to Testing Server I don't see the _mmServerScripts folder, and all folders are red.
    The underscore at the beginning of the folder name hides it in the Files panel, although you can turn on the option to display hidden files by accessing the panel options menu.
    The folder icons in the Files panel are colour coded: green is for local files, red represents the testing server (or Subversion repository, if defined), and yellow (Windows) or blue (Mac) represents your remote server.
    As Randy says, check the Web URL in your testing server definition. It should be http://localhost/check_php/.
