Itunes and rent movies

Hi
I am thinking of getting a new Ipod Classic. Due you need Apple TV to rent movies? Also, can you put the rented movies onto an Ipod Classic?
Thanks

P.S. Does the Ipod Classic work okay with Xp SP2?? Never had a problem with my video Ipod that I got in 2005.

Apple TV3 will not load a movie I have rented. When I go to Settings/iTunes store/rented movies it still will not load.

I purchased a movie through iTunes and the movie gets stuck on the opening screen and will not play. Has anybody had this happen? And if so is there any solution?

Hey Christian,
I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
All the best,
David

Have downloaded movies in the past and no problems. Now I have bought concerts and rent movies and after 45 minutes I lose sound and have updated quicktimeplayer and itunes is updated as per answer when reported to apple. Help.

First time I have used this system but as per sentences above I cannot watch a rented movie or live concert that I have bought without restarting my pc?
Before I never had this problem and starting to get frustrated with Itunes but no problems with music.

What does err= -50 mean? It is occurring while downloading TV episodes and renting movies in iTunes.

I am receiving "err= -50" in iTunes while trying to download TV episodes and movie rentals from iTunes. The downloads stop and will not resume. Any advice?

Unfortunately it isn't a very meaningful error in terms of diagnosing the issue.
http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-31161.html
Error code -50 is a generic code meaning there's some sort of communication difficulty.
There's many computers and connections between you and those movies, and between your network box and where they are on your computer.
You could try a few general things such as rebooting the computer, or trying the download later. Are these going to an external drive?

Why is my itunes downloaded (rented) movie not playing correctly? It keeps freezing

I rented a movie through iTunes and am trying to watch it right now and it keeps freezing or playing the sound but not the picture...it's very frustrating and iTunes only gives you 24 hours once you play the movie to watch it before it is gone and I'd really like to watch it and not loose my money. Does iTunes have a better support system that allows me to talk to an actually Apple Tech??

I am having the same problem - it has happened to me twice now on different movies. The video player completely freezes and is useless until the movie that was playing expires the following day. Apple gave my a credit in iTunes, but I would like to be able to watch a movie all the way thorugh, not get another free movie that I can only watch for 10 minutes...

Apple tv and rented movies

How do you get a rented movie over to apple tv or do I have to wait for the apple tv update to come in the mail

I rented a movie from iTunes, and can't get to my AppleTV, I thought I would wait for the 2.0 upgrade to watch, but do not think I will then either , as much as I dislike opop ups, I think they should have one when you rent, letting you know where you can watch (on what)
, found this article (good read)
AppleInsider has a very good article on AppleTV 2.0
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/01/15/firstlook_apple_tv_2_0_and_itunes_movie_rentals_photosvideo.html
Here is a excerpt about the movie rentals
Now, users can rent and buy movies, as well as buy music, music videos, and TV programs directly from the iTunes Store using the simple remote control. While music and video purchases can be synced back to a desktop iTunes library, just like the new WiFi Store on the iPod Touch and iPhone, video rentals ordered on Apple TV can't.
You can rent movies directly from iTunes for playback on iPods, but those can't be synced to the Apple TV. Therefore, you have to choose whether a rental you order is something you want to watch on TV or anywhere else, before you actually rent it. Given that rentals are $3.99 and $4.99, that decision isn't as deeply ponderous as it might initially seem to be.
I am thinking (scary thought) it has to do with the "DVD quality" and HD, vs 640 for iPods?
?/what is DVD quality? and what was "near DVD quality" that was advertised for AppleTV1.0
Is Winston in the house?

Purchased and Rented movies not playing

recently any movies that i have downloded form itunes store or movies that i have previously downloaded haven't been playing back.
when i go to choose a movie itunes can see my movies are there but when i play them it comes up with a blank screen ( no audio or visual) and the timer counts down as if the movie is playing. This also happends with movie clips/video clips i steam from the store.

The white screen indicates an authorisation issue, try restarting your tv and if that is unsuccessful, try de/re-authorising your itms account.

HT1657 Problem with Itunes losing rented movies

I continually rent movies to watch airborne on long flights. I'll watch one one day and one the next but, I'm frequently losing the rentals? they just disapear from the menu. I can't find anywhere support for addressing this?

Thanks Prime Minister!
Knowing that iTunes content isn't interlaced made me go back through my Sony TV's formidible and unintuitive settings where i found, buried, a "feature" called "CineMotion" which was turned on. Things appear much more normally now that this is off. (I'd long ago turned off the "motion enhancer" thinking that it might have been the culprit.
Anywho,
THX for your time as it ultimately let me to the right answer!

ITunes and Quicktime - Movie requires Quicktime which is not supported

Ok.
Issue is: Movies and TV shows bought thru iTunes (10.5.1) on Lion (10.7.2) generate an error at time of playback. Error is 'This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
Help documents state to switch to 32 bit mode (which works).
Here's what I've found out:
Called Apple, couldn't figure out what the issue is. Did the standard system/disk checks/repairs/permission repairs to no avail. Created a new user to download the video to try and play it.. The user was able to stream the video correctly.
I can play the videos IF I access them directly with QuickTime (and it doesn't need the 32 bit flag checked). So, I copied my library files for iTunes over to the new account and tried again (before doing a file by file comparison of both user accounts) to see if maybe the size of the library I have might be an issue.
Logged into the other account and it now had the issue playing the TV show.
But, I don't consider that a valid test because I should have copied the file into it's existing library before replacing it to check and see if there's an issue with the file in iTune.
which led me to an interesting solution.. If I find the file on the drive (my Library files and all videos are on a NAS server, btw) in Finder then tell iTunes to remove the video from iTunes but not delete the file, I can drag and drop the file back into iTunes and it plays fine.
So, no need to switch to 32 bit mode, just have to delete the video from iTunes (but not the drive) then drag and drop it back into iTunes.
It sounds like, for some systems, something isn't being toggled in the iTunes library or the File when it's added to iTunes via the downloader that allows iTunes to recognize the type of playback version required. By deleting the reference in the library then manually adding it back in, the issue is bypassed and the videos are playable again.
I have a headache now... ;D

Try reinstalling QuickTime Player, You can download it directly from Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If that doesn't work, try reinstalling iTunes which should also reinstall QuickTime Player.

Front Row 2.12 and Rented Movies

It does not appear that the version of Front Row issued this week "sees" rented movies to play them.
Perhaps so you do not inadvertently start your 24 hour window?

I've now tried this in an Apple Store on other machines and they also have this problem - seems like it is a generic bug and not limited to my machine. Both Applecare support people and Apple Store employees had no direct knowledge of how to report this as a bug to Apple.

I'll be watching a movie in iTunes, and the movie will freeze, but the movie timer will keep going. Any idea how to fix?

I'll be watching a movie in iTunes for Mac, and the movie itself will freeze, but the movie timer will keep going but the movie won't continue playing. I've tried restarting my Mac and restarting iTunes, with no luck.

Hi Sniper Trago,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is a payback issue with one or more movies in iTunes on your Mac. If the movies weren't purchased from the iTunes Store, do you see the same issue with content downloaded from the iTunes Store? The article below provides some suggestions that will rule out conflicts caused by plug-ins that you might be using with iTunes.

I hope this helps.

Purchased and rented movies not showing upon Apple TV

I can view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV. The only thing that shows up on the screen is a large white screen. Any ideas or suggestions?

Apple TV - Purchasing and renting movies / videos in Austria

I want to buy an Apple TV in the next days, but today I saw, that it is not possible in my region (Austria) to rent or buy movies in iTunes yet. So I'm afraid it would make no sense to buy the Apple TV. Does anybody know, until when movies will be available in Austria's iTunes Store - i hope quite soon?!?
Thanks, Thomas.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Unfortunately no-one here can answer that question, we are all users like yourself. Apple are unlikely to give out details of future events or improvements, so I'm afraid you can only wait and see.

My atv says my password/username is incorrect when I try to login to homesharing, iTunes and renting/buying anything.

My atv says my password/username is incorrect when I try to login to anything. I know both my username and password are very correct for they work on my mac, iPhone and iPad but whenever I try to rent/buy something on my Apple TV or connect to Homesharing or my iTunes it says something is incorrect and I must change my password. I have checked and double-checked that I am not making a spelling or upper/lower-case mistake. My network works because I can browse/search movies and TV shows and I can watch previews but once I try to download something the same problem appears.

Thanks...was having the same problem and gave resetting the Apple TV a shot...already just resetting let me get on my home network, when before, I was unable to get on and had to use my Verizon MiFi.
It is now working...thank you!!!
