Itunes rental movie will not start

Rented a movie with proper credentials and it will not start in iTunes. No error messages, nothing. Just will not start.
Rented it again, same issue. What am I missing?

I imagine this is a bit late for you, but to anyone else running into this problem, try the trick mentioned by VFSchreiber in this thread:
Re: Why won't my iTunes movie rental play or download?
This worked for me when I ran into the same issue (can scroll through rented movie but can't play it).  Just switch iTunes to the MiniPlayer (in the Window menu) and then back to the normal player.  Apparently, you may need to do this a few times. It sounds odd (and I didn't really expect it to work), but it fixed the problem for me.

    Just rented a movie in French on my iMac... movie will not start after download ?
    What I do now ?

    Okay. 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.

  • Movie will not start automatically on slide in Keynote 09

    I have watched the "how to" videos, read the manual and appear to be doing exactly what was instructed to add video and audio.  Nothing is working.  The movie will only start on a click (I selected "start automatically") and in preview mode - not in the presentation itself when playing. 

    I had the same problem. Here is what you need to do:
    1. Collect all your videos in one folder on your Mac
    2 Through iTune transfer them to iPad via photo. Now they will be on your iPad
    3. Open your presentation in Keynote on iPad.
    4. Delete he video.
    5. paste he video from your folder with the video in your iPad
    6. automate it to come as a cube.
    All set to go

  • ITunes Rental Movies Do Not Play in Front Row on Computer

    Surely I cannot be the only person who would like to watch a rented iTunes movie on my computer using Front Row?
    My iTunes library is on an external drive and when I open and browse Front Row, everything BUT the rented movies appear in my movie list. Purchased movies are there, video podcasts are there, home movies are there, just not the rented ones. Why is that?
    I don't have an Apple TV, just a laptop an external drive and a desire to watch rented movies through an application designed to play ALL my media, not just select media.
    And I haven't seen any info on Apple's website to indicate that rentals would not work with Front Row. And I do have all the latest Apple software updates.

    Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) has access to your iTunes and iPhoto libraries without launching those applications. You're right, rented moves don't appear in Front Row and there have been a couple of Front Row updates since rented moves became available. The only thing I can think of is that the rental terms can't be enforced when the movie is played in Front Row instead of iTunes. For example, Front Row's access to your iTunes library is really read-only. You can't delete files, apply ratings or change any other settings on the files in your library through Front Row. I think the way iTunes handles rental movies, the file has to be updated with some kind of tag when you start to play it so iTunes knows how much longer you have to finish playing it. So, it's doubtful Front Row will be able to do this. I don't think Apple has ever made a statement one way or the other about this, it's just my opinion.

  • Randomly movies will not start. (They did before)

    Odd issue, I have movies that will not play. They get to the progress bar as the movie would normally start, but it doesnt...the loading indicator just keeps spinning. The time slider doesnt move, but the progress bar behind it does. (as if it were playing) I just have a black screen. Its odd because they are movies I have wached before with no trouble. Everything is updated, i've shutdown and restarted everything...still no luck. Anyone had this issue?

    I'd try restarting by pulling ALL the cables, but if the problem persists I think there maybe something wrong with the file or possibly it's encoding (improperly encoded files may work, but may not following a software update). Unfortunately we cannot discuss the conversion you have performed, but you might try opening it in QuickTime and re-exporting it for Apple TV and see if it will then play. (iTunes will probably see it as already being compatible with the Apple TV and so won't re-convert it for you.

  • Rental movies will not load to apple TV.  Problem is just within last10 days or so.

    Last week I was going to watch a rental that was close to expiration.  Well to my surprise it would not load.  Well now that I have selected it it needs to be watched with the next 24 hours.  So I set to attempt to solve the problem.  iTunes and Apple TV software are current.  Apple TV is getting good signal strength from WiFi network.  Restarted AppleTV.  Purchased movies load fine from both computers.  Netflix loads fine.  Where is the problem

    That will reset the connection. If it happens again then it is likely a network issue, doing a test on Apple TV will not be a good indication, and it will require troubleshooting of the network.

  • Rental movie will not play because it has been authorized by another source., rental movie will not play because it has been authorized by another source.

    Hello, I downloaded a rental movie, watched the first 20 minutes with Apple TV and now I would like to restart and watch on my macbook...  Itunes says it has been authorized by another device and will not play.

  • ITunes and Quicktime will not start on new PC using Vista

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a new PC using Vista "Home Premium" edition. No previous version of iTunes on PC. I downladed iTunes 7.6. When I try to start iTunes Windows error msg says "iTunes has stopped working check on-line for a solution and close the program". When I click on the link provided it just brings me back to the same page where I already downloaded iTunes 7.6! When I try to start Quicktime I get the same error msg.
    Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
    Thank-you in advance for your help.
    Nat

    I had the exact same problem. Just use this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    What ended up happening for me was that it was a user-specific problem. For that, just follow these steps (taken from the above article):
    Remove iTunes Plug-ins
    third-party iTunes plug-ins can cause many issues, particularly if the plug-in has not been updated to be compatible with new versions of iTunes. iTunes plug-ins are located in the following location:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
    Remove iTunes Preference files
    Some of the files that iTunes uses to store settings and preferences may be corrupt and cause issues. iTunes has two folders where preferences are saved. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The location for the two preference folders are:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes for Windows will not start

    I recently did a complete system restore and as part of my restore, downloaded a up-to-date copy of iTunes and installed it. The problem arises when I try to start the application. I don't get a Windows error message as one might expect. Instead I get the Windows request box asking whether or not I wish to submit the problem to Microsoft. Regardless of which option I chose, the box eventually disappears but no iTunes!!
    I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes as well as clearing all traces of iTunes from my registery/computer files then reinstalling but to no avail. How can I get a clean install of iTunes that will actually run??
    Thanks -- Rockey
    P.S. Once I get iTunes successfully installed and plug in my iPOD, will all the music on my iPOD be automatically erased?? In my recent restore I did loose all my computer-based music files.

    You might try the method in this article on Trouble Installing iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Start at: "Important: A majority of customers..."
    This should allow you to completely remove the previous installation attemps.
    For some reason installing the stand alone Quicktime seems to help in some cases.
    iTunes can't work if Quicktime doen't run so it is important to be sure Quicktime is OK first.
    Then there is this article on trouble shooting iTunes launch failures:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    The other thing is that if you done a complete Windows reinstall back to the factory settings, have you made sure you have the latest drivers and updates?

  • My iTunes purchased movies will not sync to the New iPad(3) even though I have an HD version and an SD version. Are there specs somewhere for media files?

    I have purchased a few movies in iTunes on the MacBook Pro and after dowloading, I am not able to sync them to my new iPad. I look at the contents of the download and I have an HD file and an SD file, I assumed it would sync the SD file automatically if it cannot handle the HD on the device (although it should be able to).
    What are the different reasons a movie won't sync to iPad (frame rate, file size, definition, etc.) and what are the options to make these files compatable with my iPad? Can I rip them again or run them through a conversion utility? Is there a setting in iTunes somewhere I am missing?
    Is there a post somewhere thatr already covers this? If so, I can't find it. Would be great to have a baseline of what can be handled by device so I can figure out how to make my media compatable.

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • Latest version of itunes / quick time will not start on my computer

    Folks,
    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes recently. However whenever I try to run Itunes nothing happens. I tried running Quick Time and get a warning that "a buffer overun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state". I have searched the Aplle site but have not found any soluitions to my problem. I am beggining to have regrets on forking out 259 quid on a product from a manufacturer who seems to offer poor after sales service support
    Can one of you gurus out there be able to assist me? Cheers.
    RVT

    Go to your applications folder and start iTunes from there.  If that works you need to drag the application to the Dock.

  • Itunes 7 download will not start

    After I click on the "Download Itunes-Free" button, it takes me to the "Thank you for downloading Itunes" page.
    1 of 2 things happens next.
    1)The Webpage constantly loads without bringing up an option to download. It is stuck loading this address: switch.atdmt.com
    or
    2)The download box comes up and I chose to save. But the download is constantly stuck in "download starting..." It has been stuck on this for 2+ hours before.
    I have windows xp with the latest critical patches.
    This occurs when using the latest versions of both firefox and IE.
    I have tried turning off my firewall/adblock/virus protection and it does the same thing
    Anyone seen this before? Or have a work around?

    i've seen this sort of symptom produced by pop-up blockers. and web acceleration software.
    if you switch off all your pop-up blockers and/or web acceleration software, does the download go through properly for you?
