I have rented a movie from iTunes, but cannot get it to play

The film has downloaded, and on the picture of the film title, there is the word "play" with an arrow.  When I click on the word play, nothing happens.  I have iTunes 10.5, and iTunes has been happy as a clam, and I can listen to music and audio books...but I cannot play this film! 
I appreciate any advice anyone can give!
Thanks,
Shirley

Should be under Library>Movies. Try searching for it in the Movie section.

  • Have rented a movie from iTunes but keep getting an error message cannot load film

    I have downloaded a rental movie to my iPad started to watch it and it gave me an error of cannot load film, have tried deleting the film from my videos but cannot do that either, when I go back I to iTunes to start the process again it immediately tries to play the film but the same message come up. Any ideas?

    Sounds like you might need to take it to an Apple Store but if it is an iPhone 3G it would no longer be under warranty.
    Looking at the Apple Store online you can get an iPhone 3GS from $49 on AT&T if it comes to having to get a new one. Your other option is second hand.

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie from Itunes, but when I try to watch it it pauses itself, then skips to the next scene...can anyone tell me why and as I have paid money for this shouldn't I at least be able to watch without any hiccups?

    You've tried restarting the film ? If it still skips 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 film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie from iTunes but it has said that it is 'processing' for over 12 hours now, has it crashed?

    I rented the new Thor film, which took an hour to download and has been processing ever since. This was 12 hours ago. My internet connection is fine as my wifi is working for everything else, what do I do?

    i have the same trouble. I downloaded a movie, now i cannot find it in my library and i don't have a rental tab nor do i find it under any other tabs in the itunes library. When i try to download it again it asks me if i want to rent it again?

    Hi, Kenny. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things that I would recommend trying.  Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device.  Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below.  If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in.  Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.

  • HT1725 I have rented ten movies from iTunes and they claim to have been downloaded but they all seems not to have been downloaded properly because they all stop after playing for just a minute or two. What do I do?

    I have rented ten movies from iTunes store and to my chargin they don't play on my iPad after it indicates it's been already downloaded. This has happened to me a couple of times and I just ignore it and rerent the movies. But now it's all the eight movies I rented and two tv shows, one of which I bought a seasons ticket. What can I do to be able to watch these movies or get iTunes to credit back my account. Thank

    Does this happen quite often?

  • HT1498 I have rented several movies from iTunes on my iPad, just bought apple tv, can I watch the rented movies from my iPad on the tv ?

    I have an iPad and have rent several movies from iTunes, I have just bought apple tv, why can't I watch my rented movies on the tv, my home share is activated ? Have I just wasted £99 ?

    Hi,
    Yes, start the movie on your iPad and tap on the AirPlay icon and chose AppleTV from the list.
    You can't "transfert" your rental to your AppleTV but you can stream it using AirPlay.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Tarskforce.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

    I know the old solution was to go into the apps folder, right click on itunes and change it to 32 bit mode. Since OSX maverics I can not run it in 32bit mode anymore so now any of the itunes movies on my mac mini will not play.

  • I rented a movie from Itunes but its has stopped playing at 22.33mins

    its just a black screen, movie stops playing
