I rented 5 movies from iTunes. 3 worked, and 2 do not.  What gives?

I haven't made any changes to this device. I've tried resetting the device settings and restarting the iPad. No dice. It just gives me this error: "This movie could not be played."
I had to spend a cross country flight and a long bus ride without entertainment (god forbid!)
Help would be amazing.

Lion creates local snapshots on the hard drive. Sort of a mini Time Machine, but not really. They are essentially temporary snapshots that the OS will delete when it needs more space for just about any other reason.

  • Have iPod Touch and want to view rented movies from iTunes on our TV

    We have an iPod Touch. I rented movies from iTunes. We would like to connect the iPod to the television so the whole family can watch at the same time. We did a little research and was told to buy a "Eforcity Premium Retractable Apple iPod AV Composite Cable, White [Compatible with: iPod with Color Display / including iPod Photo / iPod Video (including U2 Special Editions of iPod Photo &Video)]" which we did. In our research it said in the instructions it said to access the "TV Out Video Setting". My husband can't find it and hence is unable to get it to work. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

    I don't think that cable is compatible with the iPhone or the iPod touch. I know the old Apple AV cable wont work with the iPod touch, you need either a Apple Composite AV Cable or an Apple Component AV Cable. See here for more info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?locale=en_US.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • Trouble renting movie from itunes

    Has anybody ever received a message when renting movies from iTunes directly on to Apple TV, 2nd G, Error-unable to download content, try again later.  I have not rented anything in a while and I do not seem to be able to move past this point in the rental process.  The movie is behaving like it has been rented, as it is showing I have 29 days to view.  Upon pressing play, it starts showing the loading, and then instead of starting to play the movie or provide an estiamte of how long until it can be played, it goes to the error message above.

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I did pull all cables and reboot the router.  Some additional information I found as I tried other aspects of Apple TV.  Via iTunes I could download and watch theater trailers.  On You Tube I could watch Selected content.  However, when I tried a You Tube Search, for a topic, I receieved yet another strange message indicating a connection issue.  However, mutliple tasks on the menu do connect to the internet and work fine.  I have rebooted the Apple TV several times.  It almost seems if the software of firmware is corrupted.  Does anybody have any additonal thoughts or similar experiences.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

    No, to connect iPad to your TV, use one of the following cables:
    Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable
    Apple Component AV Cable
    Apple Composite AV Cable
    Apple VGA Adapter and a VGA cable
    Apple cables are available for purchase in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/store or check with your local Apple retailer.

  • HT4095 Watching rented movie from iTunes on my iPad in the middle of nowhere...

    If I'm driving in the middle of nowhere will a rented movie from iTunes play fine on my iPad? Or not if the internet connection is potentially intermittent or sporadic?

    As long as the movie has completely downloaded, you will not need an Internet connection at all.
    Regards.

  • HT1390 Does it use data to watch a rented movie from iTunes on IPad? Is it streaming or just downloaded?

    Does it use data to watch a rented movie from iTunes on IPad? Is it streaming or just downloaded?

    You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.
