Itunes Movie Rental Not Playing

I just rented a movie from itunes, it said it was ready to play but i chose to watch later. When I hit play button, It goes into player mode but nothing happens, when i scroll through the film the still images apprear but its not playing.
Can Anyone Help ?

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.

  • ITunes movies will not play; blank window.

    I recently purchased several HD movies from the iTunes Store (~$15.00 or more each), and now I've discovered they will not play on my MacPro (I do not own a TV.)
    When I click the movies a separate window opens (as usual), but it remains black and nothing plays, If I move the movie window to another screen (I have three 30" Apple Cinema displays connected to a 2010 MacPro) the movies still will not play on any of the screens. If I change the iTunes settings to open the movie in the iTunes window, the movies still does not play. This problem seems to be recent, I have purchased MANY HD moves/TV shows from the ITunes store and have not had this problem until very recently (a month or so.)
    If I try to open the movie with QuickTime instead of iTunes I get this message: "This movie cannot be played because it is on a display that is not authorized to play protected movies. Try moving this window to a different display or disconnecting any displays that are not HDCP authorized."
    The only thing I can find buried in the iTunes Terms and Conditions is "(viii) An HDCP connection is required to view content transmitted over HDMI." But I am not transmitting over HDMI, the displays are connected directly to the MacPro and I don't have any HDMI cables connected to the machine. There is NOTHING at the time of purchase that indicates the HD movie will not play on my Apple displays.
    Is it just the HD version of the movie? Would the SD version play OK?
    How can the displays I'm using not be "authorized" it's an Apple display, using Apple cables/adapters connected to an Apple MacPro.
    Any insight, information, or constructive help would be greatly appreciated (I do have a Apple support call scheduled for tomorrow...)
    Thanks.

  • Movie rental not playing.

    I rented "once" on itunes. It payed for it, downloaded and put it in my library. It even started the 24 hr countdown, but instead of playing it, it just crashes my computer.
    All of the movies I've purchased work on my computer, only the ne that I've rented crashes the system.
    How do I get a refund?
    I don't really want to rent movies on there anymore, I just want my money back.

    You should have received a receipt for that movie rental. So on the receipt, click "Report Problem" next to the item name. You'll be redirected to the iTunes, then just explain what happened to you.
    I also think you should not blame Apple for that, once your problem comes possibly from you computer and not from the Service you bought!

  • My itunes movie will not play on ipad?

    I have just purchased and downloaded my first movie from the itunes store. It plays in itunes, but will not sync with my ipad. I also purchased a second movie at the same time. The second movie works as I would exppect. i.e. I can play it in itunes, and sync it and play it on my ipad. When I try to sync the first movie I get the message ...was not copied to the iPad because you are not authorised for it on this computer. Clearly I am authorised, as it's my computer and it plays on my computer, just not on my ipad. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? Not a great first experience of buying movies form the itunes store.

    Hello Sail lots,
    You may need to report this issue to the folks in our iTunes Store.

  • ITunes movies will not play-- prompt for me to authorize the computer

    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, and, if it matters, QuickTime 7.5.5.
    My purchased songs work perfectly well. 
    When I try to play any purchased video content, I get an error message that this computer is not authorized to play this purchase.  I'm then prompted to sign in with my Apple ID and authorize the computer, which I do (and indeed, have done many times before).  I then get a grey screen, and video controls which show that the movie is playing-- but with no sound, and no video.
    This happens with every downloaded TV episode I've tried.  I have looked at various suggestions on this forum; I have tried authorizing it with an administrator account, as well as deleting the SC Info folder.  I've tried deleting and re-downloading episodes after doing all these things.  Nothing seems to work.
    Help, please?

    I've got the same problem. Can't find the song file on my computer at all. I did delete it from itunes, but when I go to the store it A - says I don't have any purchases, B - when I search for the file it doesn't show any re-download option (shows I own it though) and when I click play it gives the same error, indicating the file is still local.
    There are a lot of these threads on itunes support. Obviously Apple doesn't give a flying crap if every thread has responses from people who can't fix it. I've learned my lesson and will never buy anything from Apple again.

  • ITunes movie trailers not playing? (2)

    I have been unable to view iTune trailers. Even though I have the latest 9.0.3 (15) version and standard broadband in NW London.
    I have found changing the options of preferences - playback - play films & tv programmes has fixed the trailer playback on my system, suprizingly enough!

    Ok, I think I may have figured this out. After all the hub bub about Comcast and their bandwidth throttling, I thought might change my DNS setting with OpenDNS. Well the minute I changed them, boom, the trailers loaded both through iTunes and my Apple TV without issue.
    Could my isp (Suddenlink in Kingwood, Texas) be throttling traffic from particular sites like iTunes? I hope not. I did another bandwidth test after my OpenDNS changes and the speed is still 8mbs so speed was never the issue.
    Hope this helps someone else out.

  • Movie rental not playing 6 hours remaining

    My partner rented a movie last night and watched most of it. This morning, I wanted to watch the movie since I wasn't available last night. My Apple TV says I have 6 hours remaining on my rental. When I try to play it, it freezes. I try to skip ahead a chapter, and it pauses. I try to fast forward, and it pauses.
    I would like to know how I can fix it
    OR
    how I can get a refund.

    I thought so, however I just unplugged it and it seems to have done the trick.

    My computer is authorized but it why won't it allow to play the movie I rented?

    Same for me. Movie froze. Very frustrating when I have watched hundreds of Netflix movies with no problem.

    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")

  • My iTunes movie rentals won't play. How can I fix this?

    I've been able to purchase and download iTunes movie rentals. However, when I click 'play' iTunes attempts to play the movie but it doesn't start. I don't get a playback window only the movie title in the 'play' pane. The counter does not run.
    Can this be fixed? Is it a bug in 10.7.5 or iTunes?

    My rental movie is not playing, and I have 24 hours to watch it, and I did want to watch it tonight, can I get reimbursed?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    Downloaded films (and those synced from your computer) should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
