Ipad- cant play rented movies

I rented couple of movies, dowloaded them but when i try to play it i get a message "cant play"
Tried to turn off and back on the ipad, didnt help
Please, any suggestion?

Syncing does not transfer rented content. Have you moved the rental via the procedure given here?

Cant Play Rented Movie

I want downloading a rented movie off itunes to go onto my ipad, I saw that it had nearly downloaded and let it do its thing, then when I went back to see if the download had been completed it was gone, it wasnt in my video app or anything, how can I find it? And will I be charged for it even thought it hasnt been downloaded or watched?

Look guys here are the iTunes instructions on how to manage video downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/purchases/

Cant play rented movies

I just purchased a new HP with windows 8. I go to rent a movie from iTunes and it will not play on my device? Anyone have any solutions?

Go to Settings -> iTunes Store and click on your Apple Id then sign out
Use the Menu key to return to the Settings Menu - Select Genetal and scroll to the bottom and select Restart
Go to Settings -> iTunes Store and click on your Apple Id then sign in
Menu back to the main screen - Rentals should now appear.

HT1657 Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

The answer appears to be "maybe". Once the rental has completely downloaded it shouldn't need an Internet connection from then on, but I've seen reports here from people who tried the play the rental and has it insist on an Internet connection. I've never been able to spot any common factor between such reports to form an opinion as to why this happens, though it's possible that the movie hadn't really completely downloaded. But I'd advise not presuming that an Internet connection won't be necessary.
Someone else here may have better insight into the issue.

Hello jackrayan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I can imagine the frustration you're experiencing with your iPad's display not responding like it used to. I would feel the same way!
I'd like you to follow the troubleshooting steps in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.
Take care,
Alex H.

I cant play any movie on my itunes 10.5.2.11 for windows

i cant play any movie on my itunes 10.5.2.11 for windows even the .mov files ?? i cant also drag any videos to the liberary .. just music ..whats wrong??

The supported formats are listed on Apple's iPad webpage -> http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
So, it would have to be in one of those formats. It can be a little confusing because the extension doesn't always tell you the codec that the video inside that file needs. You'll probably have to transcode the video with some other application or recreate it yourself.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

Could not play rented movie.... because it is authorized to play on another

"Could not play rented movie.... because it is authorized to play on another Computer or device"
Any ideas what that might mean? I was asked to authorize my computer which I did then I got this message... i'm on my last 2 days of the 30 day period...
Thanks

No one have any idea what I can do??
Is there any way to get a refund?
I downloaded a few rentals about 27 days ago.... they're set to expire tomorrow and wanted to watch them... but for some reason I have the above problem. It's the computer I used to download them from....
Is there anyway to contact apple or any solutions? thanks

Can't play rented movies. They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch. But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."

Can't play rented movies. They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch. But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK. The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date. I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

I got this error message when I tried to play rented movies after downloading.
"We could be complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-42110). There was an error in iTunes Store. Please try again later."
Anyone has similar experience?

I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.
