IPhone restarting when watching Rented iTunes movies!

As the title of the thread says, my iPhone restarts whenever I try and watch Rented iTunes movies on it.
And it is just rented movies that cause the issue, if I rip a DVD and convert to iPhone friendly it plays all the way through quite happily. But with the rented ones, they play for about 7 mins before the iphone restarts.
Has anyone else had this problem?

have you taken any troubleshooting steps? (reset, restore, resync....etc).
mine was restarting itself randomly in ANY application. even after a restore (as a new phone), it did it as i was redoing all my settings. long story short, my phone was ultimately replaced by apple.

Watching Rented iTunes Movies in Locations with No Internet Access

After I rent/download movies from iTunes onto my MacBook Pro, will I be able to access/watch those movies if I bring my laptop to a location that has no Internet access (no hotspot, no wi-fi, no nothing)? I know the rentals are good for 30 days and I have 24 hours to finish a movie once I start it, but I'm not sure if I need to have continuous Internet access to watch them even after I rent them.

You only need an internet connection if you're going to transfer the rental from your computer to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. You can watch it without internet access, like in an airplane without WiFi.

Watch rented iTunes movies on apple tv 2

Is it possible to rent a movie via iTunes on the iPad and then watch on apple tv 2? The movie doesn't show up under rented movies on the apple tv and AirPlay mirroring won't work. Purchased movies sync to all devices, why not rented movies?

The limited number of rentals I've tried to use from my iPad via AirPlay have all worked, but I appreciate others have not found this.
Only making rentals on a computer will allow you to transfer them to another device.

HT1657 can i watch rented itune movies on ipad while flying?

Basically heading to Hawaii, woulld prefer not to carry bulky lap top and utilize the benefits of an iPad. Is it possible to rent, not buy HD movies from iTunes and have them avaialble to watch while flying overseas? thanks.

There are films available to rent in the iTune store, but it's the film studio's choice as to whether a particular film is available as a rental, and if it is whether it's in HD and/or SD.
As lomg as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced) to the iPad's Videos app then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

Need to be online to watch rented iTunes movie?

After I've downloaded a rented movie to my computer, is it necessary to be online to watch it?

You do not have to be online.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

Is there a way for me to watch my itunes movies that are on my iphone 4S on my Nook color tablet? Could I attatch them to do this?hone 4S

Hi,
I have an iphone 4S with movies from itunes that I have bought on it. I also have a nook color tablet 16gb. I have the nook app on my iphone also. My question is can I connect my iphone to my nook tablet to watch the itunes movies on a bigger screen, for example when I'm on a plane? Hula and Netflix don't work without wireless or regular internet connection.
Thanks for any ideas that might be out there!

- You have had to have turned on the FindMyiPod feature (Settings>iCloud), wifi on and Location Services on.
- By now the battery would be fully drained.
- The SN will only allow you to identify the iPod as your if it is recovered.
- Apple will not help
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

When watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

when watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

I just started have this same/simmilar issue to. Was there a solution to the original question? I have 2 ATVs. One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out. Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net). Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

When I rent a movie do I have to have wifi to watch it?

When I rent a movie from iTunes, do I have to have a wifi connection in order to watch it?

Yes. Once the movie is fully downloaded to the iPad you do not need an Internet connection to watch the movie.

When I rent a movie can I watch it with out a WiFi connection

when I rent a movie do I need a WiFi connection to watch it

Hi hurtmark,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to know if once a rental is downloaded will you need WiFi to play the movie. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

When you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:

When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.

HT4743 when I rent a movie on my computer from itunes store why can I not find it on my Apple tv for playback?

When I rent a movie from itunes library on my desktop it is not showing up under rented on my Apple tv? This has not happened before?. Can I rent or buy directly from Apple TV? I hope someone can answer this silly question.
Carol

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can purchase or rent it direct from the Apple TV or from the computer. If you rent/purchase from the computer, it must fully download to the computer before it will show up under computers > rentals on the TV.

When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.
