Itune rentals won't play on Apple TV

all updates have been done on my iPad 2 and Apple TV. Can log in and it shows my Apple ID and lists it in computers. When I scroll down to rentals though, it doesn't show my movie there?  What else can I try to do to be able to watch my movie?  It is connected to our wifi and shows a good signal. I've turned on family sharing on my iPad. Sharing is also turned on in iTunes on my computer. At a loss and look forward to some wisdom from others. Tha

The poster likely meant that you should reauthorise your computer which is used as a primary library for the tv.

  • HD movies with iTunes extra won't play on Apple TV.Tried to repurchase and message states, "Already purchased, would you like to view now?" Submitted "YES" and am taken to movie's menu with iTunes extra with no tab for 'PLAY'. Menu won't work at all.

    Several movies I purchased won't play on Apple TV. They don't show up on my Apple TV menu, and if I search for them, the "Purchase HD movie" tab shows up. When I try to re-purchase, states "Already Purchased- would you like to view now". I answer "YES" and I'm taken to a screen without a "Play" tab. Other tabs such as "Extras" are frozen and don't work. Unable to see the movie or any of the iTunes extras.

    Hey there storytellerstudios,
    I see that you are having an issue with some purchased movie extras from iTunes on your Apple TV.  I would like to suggest that you use the following link to help you report an issue with these purchases to iTunes:

  • ITunes rental won't play on new computer

    I rented a movie three weeks ago. Last week, I bought a new-to-me (used) computer and transferred all my content to the new machine. I have purchased iTunes Match, and all my books and music and almost everything works. But when I tried to play my rented movie on the new computer, I got a message saying it wasn't authorized to play on this computer. It's the same Apple ID and all my other content works on the new machine.
    Brilliant me, I thought I would just delete it and download it again since I haven't watched it. Now it's just gone.
    Any ideas? I have another rented movie still in my rentals folder, but it won't play either.

    Yes, I am getting the exact same message. It says:
    Could not play the rental “The Cove” because it is authorized to play on another computer or device.

  • ITunes Extras won't play on Apple TV 3

    iTunes extras supposedly works with the Apple TV now:
    http://9to5mac.com/2014/07/10/apple-brings-itunes-extras-to-apple-tv-hd-extras-t o-macs-today-ios-8-in-fall/
    But I cannot get it to work!
    I have an Apple TV with software version 6.2 and iTunes 11.3.1 on my iMac. iTunes Extras work on the iMac but not on the Apple TV.
    I have tried both playing from iTunes on the iMac and cloud playback on the Apple TV, but it always goes directly to the movie rather than the menu screen to allow selection of extras or movie playback.
    I also have checked and the Apple TV has playback setting on 1080p.
    What magic needs to be done to get iTunes extras to work?

    It all changed.
    Extras were originally downloadable 'sidecar files' that AppleTV 1 and iTunes could play.
    If you have the old Extras that downloaded to iTunes, and still play there, ATV2 and 3 won't do anything with them.
    The new Extras will only play on AppleTV via your Movie Purchases/Purchased section via the Cloud (Movies icon not Computers), and require the internet - if your connection is slow they will buffer.  You cannot download 'new extras' to iTunes anymore, again they must play via the 'cloud'.
    Also old films with 'Old Extras' don't necessarily have the 'new Extras' (yet), there have also been several glitches where people get the Extras from the Cloud but cannot work out how to play the Movie!

  • ITune Purchases won't play on Apple TV

    My ATV won't play music purchased on itunes. This is the newest of MANY issues with this devise I have had for years.
    On itunes devices sees the ATV. It will play my added music but not purchased stuff. This is newest of many trials with this device.
    Any suggestions? I noted a similar post was advised to reauthorize ATV but I don't know what that means.

  • Itunes movie won't play on apple tv from ipad

    I am having trouble playing a movie on apple tv that i purchased on my ipad

    Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else!  Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
    Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
    The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
    Any ideas anyone?

    My rentall won't play. It says: We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-42110). How do I get it to play? I've tried it many different times and it just won't work.

    I'd try the following document with that one, susanna:

  • Recent TV show downloads won't play on apple TV, why?  iTunes has no place to enter passcode that apple TV requires to authorize.

    Recent TV show downloads won't play on apple TV, why? Old TV shows will play on the apple TV.    iTunes has no place to enter passcode that apple TV requires to authorize. ???  What should I do?

    Is this a 1st generation silver coloured Apple TV or the 2nd generation black coloured Apple TV?

  • Mp4 file is bugged? Won't add to iTunes and won't play.

    I just downloaded the Lord of the Rings extended trilogy on bluray with a redemption code I got in the box set I got for christmas. They worked fine, until, while changing the album name of the three movies, the return of the king, while trying to change the album artwork, iTunes went into Not Responding mode, and I force quit it. When I came back, I couldn't play the movie, change it's artwork or anything, so I deleted it from my library and tried to reload it back in with the file in my iTunes folder. But not only would the movie not add to iTunes, it won't play in Quicktime or VLC, and when I tried running it through Handbrake it wouldn't work. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you fix this? Thanks.

    Hello CTGame,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s a grayed out song in your iTunes library that can’t be played or downloaded again like other past purchases. Try taking a look at the article linked below and verify the computer is authorized to play that content.
    How to troubleshoot iTunes Match - Apple Support
    Songs appear to be missing
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) might not appear in iCloud, or might appear grayed out. This can occur if your computer is not authorized to play that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match. To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for to play a specific song:
    Locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column. Write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and enter its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • Itunes rental movie won't play on apple tv

    I'm trying to play an itunes rental movie via itunes on my Windows 8 computer through Apple TV.
    Upon trying to play the movie the computer says "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Apple TV".  An unknown error occurred (-41049)."
    The TV says "This movie is already being viewed on another Apple TV or computer...."
    The movie is NOT playing anywhere else.
    Any advice on how to fix this?

    My rental stopped about 10 minutes ago and I can't restart it.  Actually, I was just prompted to update Apple TV ... guess they rolled out an update that caused the issue?  Find out here soon ...
