I rented two HD movies on Apple TV, both at the same time.  I was able to watch one, but the second says - "error while loading this content, try later" - well I tried later numerous times and continue to get the same message.  What is my next step??

No, the film will be available for 30 days, but once you start watching it the clock will start running and it will expire after 24/48hrs (depending on location).
You said you rented on Apple TV, which has no accessible storage. When you choose to watch it starts to cache to the small flash drive, which is then flushed when you access another movie (or any other content). Everything is streamed so it will need to load each time. If you want to store any content you need to do so via computer.
Network issues can also contribute to seeing such an error. If on wifi, try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network). You can also see the status of your network by getting a report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar), to look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks.
Other services use adaptive streaming so they won't be much of an issue.

  • How do I request a refund for a movie after receiving the "An error occurred loading this content. try again later." error?

    I watched the first 11 minutes of a movie, paused and then when I tried to play again recieved the error - An error occurred loading this content. try again later.  No amount of retrying later fixed the problem.  I will not be able to finish watching the movie within the required 24hour window so would like to request a refund.  Can anyone provide any guidance on how I go about that?  Thanks.

  • Airplay from ipad 1 gen to ATV 3 gen "an error occurred loading this content try again later"

    Hi everyone!,
    I just bought a new Apple tv 3 gen which is great.
    My situation is the next. I have an add hoc wifi which obviously cant connect with my ATV cause ATV doesnt have browser to set user password. This connection is not quite fast, so problem added to the previous. The thing is that I want to use my ipad 1 gen to airplay content to the apple tv. It works great with pictures and even music (my own library or spotify streamed music).
    The problem comes when I try to airplay video from youtube or embedded video from safari so it keeps saying "an error occurred loading this content try again later".
    I tried with my iphone 6 and with an iphone 5 and the same, no video from youtube nor web.
    If I try to airplay a video that is inside my phone, it works flawlessly.
    the specs say that you need at least 6mb connection, but that seems to stream directly from the ATV cause ATV doesn't have hd to store data, but my ipad streams it and plays it like a charm, but when I airplay to the apple tv got the problem.
    I also can stream video from my old mac mini through the network using airparrot but it doesn't allow me to send audio, seems to be problems sending audio and video while streaming..
    Any help?
    does anyone solved it?
    thanks in an advance!

    Two problems seems to be causing this:
    1- My poor download connection. Testing its speed barely reaches 1.5 download speed, though it's enough to stream movies with ipad, or computers.
    2- the router I have connected to my antenna to create my own network. it is a normal 150 mbps tp-link range extender which is used to create a wifi. This 150 mbps might be much more than a half.
    I have tried with a 300 mbps router and now I don´t get the error, but it seems that streaming with my ipad and airplay to the apple tv overloads the network and it loads quite slow in my atv.

  • I was trying to do a favor for my gf, and I uninstalled bonjour. What are my next steps with the cloud and ios5

    I was trying to do a favor for my gf, and I accidentily on purpose uninstalled bonjour. It has seemed to really screw up iTunes for me.  What are my next steps to get this back to normal? I have downloaded and using the icloud and ios5. I have two iPhones 3gs and our iPad2. And our computer is windows xp(yes it is time for an upgrade)

    Try the troubleshooting help here.  http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/
    You may need to restore your iPhone.
    If it won't restore, try here. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If nothing helps, you need to contact Verizon for information for an exchange or refund. This is a user to user forum, not Apple.
    Apple's policy for a refund or exchange is within 14 days of purchase. Verizon's policy may be different.
    Definitely try restoring .. hopefully you won't have to go through the hassle of an exchange.

  • Apple TV 160GB nearly full and so is my iMac - what are my next steps?

    well it was inevitable. the 320GB in my iMac is nearly full with video/music and photos. For a while now I have been syncing selectively between my iMac and the apple TV downstairs. Streaming has been too choppy/intermittant for me to consider as a solution.
    Can anyone share experiences with either adding a USB drive and moving content to that or having a NAS drive that is mounted to the iMac and using that (at an albiet slower pace)? I know it doesnt fix the space problem on the apple TV but I will live with what I am currently doing.
    It's a shame really that ATV doesnt have some sort of "sync on demand" that would load content like a movie rental and kick the oldest video file(s) off the ATV to make room. If it worked with time capsule that would be even cooler.

    well why don't you see about working out the kinks in your network, getting it running better and stream... i have gone to streaming only as i couldn't tell the difference at all in play back between a streamed file or a synced one...
    there are very knowledgeable people on this board that can give you lots of advice on how to get your network running better.
    NAS... i know from personal experience that exernal USBs attached to AirPort Extreme works flawlessly... but there are a whole slew of people who have posted on this board about using other NASs and for whatever reason have big issues in terms of performance that doesn't allow movies to show properly... stutters, stops etc.
    *external drives* attached directly to you computer (this is my setup and works flawlessly) i have 2TB of drives attached to my computer where i store primarily movies. what you can do is create a folder on the external for your files... in the finder move them there... in iTunes remove them from the iTunes library (i.e. don't move to trash!).. then when you re-add them to iTunes by dragging them.. press and hold the option key and they will be added to iTunes but not moved into the iTunes Library.. you can move all or just some of your files to the external using this method.
    It's a shame really that ATV doesnt have some sort of "sync on demand" that would load content like a movie rental and kick the oldest video file(s) off the ATV to make room.
    appleTV does have options to sync x number of recent or recently unwatched or all unwatched videos to appleTV if you choose custom sync in iTunes.

  • TS2972 An error occurred loading this content try again later

    I get this error constantly while trying to watch content on my Apple TV. I have changed my Apple ID, reset to factory settings, rebooted my Mac, stood on my head and threatened the device with violence. Nothing allows me to watch content I have paid for. What is causing this? How long to wait until "later" is reached and I can try again? I have already expired one rental without watching it, so this is also costing me money. So Apple - how to fix? Does anyone have any suggestions what other voodoo I can use to fix this? If it helps, I have not changed anything in the past few days and I am operating the latest software. A clue may be that I can see the names if everything in the library, but I cannot see cover art.
    Help appreciated

  • HT1926 Have new generation 6 nano.  Was able to install version 8 of itunes but error reads that this version with Vista needs newer version.  Have tried to install 10.1 but it installs only part way then installs itself part way through.  Help.

    Has anyone had problems downloading itunes 10.1 with the generation 6 nano?  I have
    Windows Vista on my computer.  Was able to install version 8.1 but nano needs newest version. Help anyone???

    The solution Lijoesat posted above worked for me!
    First I found the private/var/folders/ (and then lots of gibberish folders) and singled out two garageband files and deleted them. This did not work.
    I then deleted everything which may or may not be a good thing, I am an idiot, I have no idea if these are extremely important files or not!
    I tried to empty the trash bin after but many files was locked and Garageband would still not install.
    I did a restart of the computer, emptied the bin successfully and tried to install Garageband again and it worked fine!
    The inserted picture show some of the folder structure, I deleted everything after private/var/folders/

  • Trying to load firefox and I get a message saying it can't create a file

    I have tried loading firefox and it tells me that it can not create a file. How do I fix this problem?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • I tried to down load and I get a message saying my operating system is no longer supported by Photos

    I tried to download and got a message that Photoshop nolonger supports my operating system

    And what OS would that be?

  • My network drives crashed and I was able to restore one with the exact same name and login.  The second one I also created using the same name and login but it does not find the files when I click.

    I get Connection failed when I click on the photo in IPhoto. This window keeps popping up and I have to force quit IPhoto.

    iPhoto tracks referenced files using Aliases and this works just fine when the Library and the photos are on the same volume. However, Aliases won't survive being moved from one volume to another. This is why experienced users on here recommend against using Referenced Libraries in general, and in particular when the library and files are on different volumes.
    Try repair the aliases with an app like FileBuddy If that fails then I'm afraid you'll  need to do it manually for every photo in the Library, unfortunately.
