Itunes movie rental "Cannot Open" Message Ipad3

Hi
I have been downloading iTunes rental movies for a couple of months and playing them on my Ipad3 with no trouble. Over the last few weeks I have been getting a "Cannot Open" Message when I try and play a film. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. I have found that a film that will not open in the evening will open the following morning after the iPad has been charged but there has always been a minimum of 40% battery when it has failed. The only thing that I have changed before this started happening was to upgrade BBC iPlayer so I could download TV programs. I have tried turning the pad on and off, shut down all running applications but the issue seems totally random.
Any ideas ?

Hi kfrau13,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you were not able to view the rented movie, you may want to report the issue with your purchase:

IPad "cannot open" iTunes movie rentals

I am travelling / I rented 2 ,movies for the plane but did it from an old 32bit Macbook. They transferred fine to the iPad but when I tried to open them I got the "Cannot Open" message. Result - did not get to watch my rentals ! I have an idea the fact that I purchased on an old generation Macbook Pro is the issue ?
They are still on my iPad (and presumably still somewhow registered in my account)
I happen to be travelling with a 64bit Macbook Pro (should have purchased from here in the first place !!)
I am thinking there might be a way to resync my iPad with my 64 bit Macbook and resync the movies so that I can at least watch them on of before the flight home next week
Ideas appreciated ?

Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

My iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place.

my iTunes movie rental freezes during the opening credits always at the same place. What is the cure? Can I recieve credit for the rental since I could not view it in its entirerty?

Hi Epski
Let us know how you go as i'm having the same issue also. I upgraded to yosemite and itunes 12 at the same time and thought the OS upgrade was the issue. I downgraded back to Mavericks again (for lots of reasons i won't go in to here) thinking this would fix the problem but it didn't.
When i play any video content from itunes 12 in full screen goes dark once the controls fade away. QT, appletv or anything else plays them perfectly, as per itunes 11!
You don't have a Samsung TV by any chance do you?

TS4124 ie should icloud allow apple tv to play my itunes movie rentals without itunes being open on my computer

Shouldn't icloud sent my itunes movie rentals to apple TV without my computer open to itunes?

Do I need to back-up all my movies and songs on to a hard drive
Yes. An Apple TV, iPod, or iPhone is not intended to be a backup device and shouldn't be treated as one.
The virus does not allow me to open iTunes, so how can I deauthorize that computer?
You can't. If you run out of authorizations, you can use the Deauthorize All command. Otherwise, you should probably just leave it as is.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

TS1717 iTunes movie rental stops playing on ipad

iTunes movie rental keeps freezing at same point in rental is there anything I can do?

I have the same problem. At first I got this message:
This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB of ram. I have purchased numerous TV episodes in both HD & SD and have no issues. i rented this movie yesterday and could only play it via my Apple TV. I haven't installed the latest OS update but my itunes is up to date and like I mentioned I can play everything else.
I just tried again after changing the setting to switch displays to save power. Now every time I try to play the movie it asks me to authorize my computer, then tells me its already authozied, then gives me a black screen in play mode with no movement on the play indicator.

NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog LIBWSC_CAT

I am not sure this is the right place to place my question. Please move it to right place.
I have an application on the unix (Solaris 5.8) and tuxedo 8 on which it runs fine but if I am using linux system to run the same application which is written in java with my tuxedo servers up. After running the application I am getting the below error.

Hi,
I don't think there are any patches related to the problem you are having, and it still sounds like an environment problem. I would suggest contacting Oracle customer support and they can tell you what patches are available as well as they may have a solution for your problem.
It is a little weird that you are having this problem on RHEL as I was using OEL which is based on RHEL. The major difference is I'm using Tuxedo 11gR1 on 32 bit machine.

NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog TMADMIN_CAT, Solaris Container

Hello,
Can someone please help me ?
I have used Tuxedo 8 for many years on Solaris 8 servers, however we have now ported our installation to a Solaris 8 container on a Solaris 10 server. The server was ported using a flar image from the source server onto the new zone (or container). Tuxedo works absolutely fine in the container and the application appears to run as expected until I try using tmadmin or qmadmin on the command line and run a command in the shell and the following message appears for tmadmin, qmadmin message is similar.
NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog TMADMIN_CAT, set 1, num 111; check TUXDIR=/opt/apps/tuxedo/8.0, LANG=C
tmadmin/qmadmin performs the function but appears to be unable to open it's message catalog in $TUXDIR/locale/C
The mesasage catalog exists in $TUXDIR/locale/C and chksum's identical to source server.
I have manually re-installed the Tuxedo software in the container with no effect
I have tried installing Tuxedo in a different directory
I have tried setting NLSPATH=$TUXDIR/locale/C in the environent with no effect
The tuxedo application works fine with no similar messages in the ULOG from the running application, it is just tmadmin and qmadmin on the command line, using the same user as runs the application
localel settings are identical to original source server and :
localeLANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
If i set $LANG = C and run tmadmin and run a command I get the following message instead
NLS:6: Message not found, catalog TMADMIN_CAT, set 1, num 1136
Which implies it can see the catalog but cannot open it
Tuxedo version is 8.0 Rolling patch 222
Can anyone help? i would be very grateful
Thanks
Adam

I have now worked arround this by re-generating the message catalogs from the catalog text files
cd $TUXDIR/locale/C
gencat TMADMIN_CAT TMADMIN.text
gencat Q_CAT Q.text
tmadmin and qmadmin now display the output ok, It kind of makes sense since the catalogs are generated in the new environment, but a full install still did not work.
The new catalogs are identical to the old catalogs and cksum identically, but they work. Still scratching my head over this one, but at least we can move forward now.

Bad itunes movie rental, book, app...can I get a refund?

Over the past few months I've had an itunes movie rental that froze and wouldn't play, a book I bought that wouldn't open (on any device, iphone, mac, or ipad), and an app that I purchased that worked a few times and now quits every time it's opened.
Is there a way to request a refund/credit for these items?

You can always ask but supposedly sales are final.

Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
(Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
What are your thoughts, folks?

If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

Hey rossfromwarren,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you were experiencing an issue with an iTunes Movie Rental. Due to the time limits associated with rentals, you may wish to report a problem with your purchase if the issue was not resolved before expiration:

Cannot open message catalog LIBWSC_CAT

I'm posting a reworked version of an earlier question, hoping to get an answer this way.
I have compiled an executable that acts as a tuxedo client. When I run it, invocations to the function tpstrerror() work ok.
If I compile the exact same code as a shared object file and invoke some of its functions from a java virtual machine through JNI (the environment variables being the same), in spite of all other ATMI functions working correctly, tpstrerror() fails with the following error:
NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog LIBWSC_CAT, set 1, num 1142; check TUXDIR=/home/adrian/bea/tuxedo9.1, LANG=C
Does anyone have any ideas on what's happening here? Is there a way to get any information on why does the function fail?
My earlier post with additional details (might be too long) can be found at:
http://forums.bea.com/thread.jspa?threadID=300004539
Many, many thanks.

Hi,
My guess is that you have a firewall between your client and the Tuxedo system that is timing out the connection. The error is network error. Try looking at the -K option for the workstation listener WSL.

i get this error:
NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog CMDTUX_CAT, set 1, num 868; check TUXDIR=/home/bea/tuxedo8.0', LANG=en_US
any hints? I've already checked all the environment variables and they seem to be fine...I've also opened CMDTUX.text and I saw that msg 868 is some error about the configuration file, but first I'd like to have at lease the tmloadcf running ok....
thanx,

Hi.
Try posting your question on the tuxedo.general newsgroup. Most people on this newsgroup are dealing with WebLogic Server issues.

Issue: Cannot open message catalog LIBTUX_CAT

Hello
I am using a webservice that connects through Tuxedo. Tuxedo starts ok but when I call my service I receive the following error:
[13 Feb 2009 14:05:13 GMT][WARNING][][##: Exception raised in setting up security : : RemoteException : ][receive() failed (TUXEDO ERROR [12]: NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog LIBTUX_CAT, set 1, num 1322; check TUXDIR=/app/isel/tuxedo , LANG=C
); nested exception is:
com.iona.jbus.ntv.NativeIOException: receive() failed (TUXEDO ERROR [12]: NLS:4: Cannot open message catalog LIBTUX_CAT, set 1, num 1322; check TUXDIR=/app/isel/tuxedo, LANG=C
I googling for a while but could not get a clue to solve this.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
J

Hi J,
Sorry, I'm still not following. When you say:
"2 - My service receives the call and calls to another webservice in a AS/400 using Tuxedo."
Are you saying you've written a Tuxedo service that makes a Web Service call to another Tuxedo service running on an AS/400 system? Let me try and ask some specific questions:
"1 - I call my webservice using SOAP UI"
What SOAP client are you using? Where is the Web Service you are calling running and what's it running under?
"3 - Inside the AS/400 that receives the call there is a TR application that calls a Listener Service that calls a cobol application."
What is a TR application?
In any case, as I said, the error you are getting is a TPESYSTEM error which should result in an entry being made in the Tuxedo ULOG file.
