ITunes Unable to Watch Rental

Hello,
I am getting an error whilst trying to play a rental. It briefly (as I assume) attempts to connect to iTunes to start the rental, then it says "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5103)."
I have the absolute latest version of iTunes and rentals have worked in the past.
I really want to watch this rental tonight - I have no other chance to. Any suggestions?

Unable to watch rental, have updated Itunes

I have watched many rented movies on Itunes, but when I try to watch my most recent download, the video window pops up showing a black screen, it plays less then a seconded of sound, and then itunes freezes. I updated Itunes and I still have the same problem.
I am able to watch other movies that I have bought from I tunes. It seems to only be my most recent download.
Could the down load be corrupt? Is there a way for me to try re-download the movie?
I now only have 22hours to watch the movie, and I don’t think I’ll have time latter to day to watch the movie, is it possible to get my money back?
Thanks

HT1657 unable to watch movie rental as it freezes and skips

I purchased snow white and the huntsman but unable to watch it because it freezes then it skips. How do I fix this so I can watch it before the time frame expires?

I just went into my account in itunes and clicked on purchased history, clicked on report problem, then i selected "reported problem" by the movie rental. I guess I'll see if iTunes responds to me by either fixing it, or reimbursing me the $5

ITunes hasn't downloaded an SD version of my 1080p TV show, so I am unable to watch on my MacBook.

I am a UK customer, and last night I purchased Top Gear India Special on my iPad, and I chose to download the 1080p version. I'm just wondering why iTunes hasn't downloaded an SD version as well as the HD version, like it always has done previously? I am unable to watch the India Special on my MacBook as iTunes says "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
Thanks in advance.

With the introduction of 1080p videos, there has been a change in the HD/SD downloads. "When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page."
See iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
"Some movies may not be available from iTunes in the Cloud. These movies, if purchased in HD, will download both the HD and SD versions for you to sync to your compatible iPod and iOS devices." http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4095

Can't finish watching iTunes rental movie after pausing - can't restart movie via Settings - iTunes Store - Check for Rentals?

I rented a movie from itunes using Apple tv. Half way through, I paused it and then accidentally hit menu instead of play. i was directed to settings - iTunes store- check for rentals and now its just spinning and i can't watch the rest of the movie.

Backing out of the movie can cause it to be flushed from the system as it is not stored. There seems to be a bug with the check for rentals function, try logging out and back into your account.

I have purchased several movies for iTunes and can watch all of them when I am offline. I bought them for the purposes of watching them on airplane flights.
Are those purchased movies? Are you sure that they fully downloaded?

HT4095 I recently purchased 2 movies ( the crooks and White House down) but was unable to watch them. Every time I tried it said not loading. So I would like to know how I get reimbursed for these from iTunes?

I recently purchased 2 movies and was unable to view them. It kept saying unable to load movie when it had clearly downloaded. How do I get reimbursed for these 2 movies as I was unable to watch them and am pretty fed up with iTunes right now?

Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the films from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if they re-download with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Unable to watch iTunes movie extras on Apple TV

Unable to watch my rented movie on apple TV but it says ive rented it already

Hi can someone help me please ?
I have purchased a Rental in itunes 2days ago, this rental is on my PC and ready to watch, however I would like to watch it on my Apple TV.
To be clear, I have not started watching the movie on any other machine.
Since a recent upgrade of the software on my Apple TV, (and to be fair I havent used the rental facility for a while) I am unable to see my rented movie.
If I find the movie through top movies and try to rent it , it tells me I have already Rented it and am I sure I want to rent it again ? But its not there to watch on Apple TV
Can anyone advice please as its very frustrating. ?
Thanks in advance
Firebaldefun

Im looking in purchased films, am I looking in the right place ?
Thanks

HT1390 Unable to watched rented movie on ATV2

Last night we wanted to watch a movie on our ATV2 so on my Mac I went into iTunes and rented a HD movie. I let the download start and went off to prepare dinner. When I came back to my Mac a hour later there was an error message on the screen saying there was an error connecting to the store so I reinitiated the download. A few minutes later I got a message saying that the movie was ready for viewing, would i like to watch it now or later. I selected later and left it to continue the download.
In the end we did not end up watching the movie last night, but now I want to watch it. On my ATV2 I went into my library. The Rentals option appeared in the menu and, for some reason, the movie I rented is in the list of rentals twice. When I selected either of the movies to watch I got an error saying that the movie is currently being watched on another device and to stop it running on that device before trying again.
The movie was not being watched anywhere else. How do I tell iTunes this? Why won't it let me watch the movie on the ATV2 if I purchased on my Mac?
I tried rebooting both the ATV2 and Mac. I then deleted both copies of rental from iTunes. One of them I had issues deleting from trash, saying it was being used. I then restarted downloading the rental again and again said I would watch later when prompted. Now the Rentals option does not even appear on my ATV2 when I go to my library on my computer.
I could not find anywhere in the support material if it was actually possible to rent a movie from iTunes on Mac and then view on ATV2. Should it be possible? I did find a support note that said that any movie rented from an ATV2 could only be viewed on that device.
Any clues to fix this problem. I tried calling Apple support but they don't work weekends.

Further investigation revealed that I was unable to watch the movie anywhere. I kept getting iTunes Error 42110 when it tried to authenticate.
After searching through iTunes support material I found the solution, which was to remove the 'SC Info' folder from /Users/Shared. After I deleted this folder everything started working again.

I purchased movies on my iPad and unable to watch on my Mac or Apple TV

I purchase movies on my iPad and unable to watch on my Mac or Apple TV

If you purchased them, you should be able to download them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519, as well as watch them on your Apple TV. If you rented them on your iPad, you won't be able to transfer the rental to your other devices. To do that you have to rent them in iTunes on your Mac.

Unable to watch 3 movies I rented. Please help!

I rented 3 movies through iTunes to watch on a trip I went on. While on the airplane I went to watch them on my iPad through the videos app and it told me none of the movies I had rented could open. Does anyone know why this happens? During my layover I was able to watch a movie because my iPad was connected to wireless, but I thought you could still watch them without wireless. If anyone has any advise on this please let me know. I have paid and been unable to watch 4 movies so far on my iPad. Thank you!

See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4095
It implies you need an iTunes Store connection to begin watching an HD movie rental.

Cannot watch rental movies on iphone 3gs since downloading OS6

Since downloading 0S6 on an iphone 3gs, I get the message "Cannot Open" for two rental movies, one of which I had watched half of and one which I had not watched at all. The time is now ticking away until expiry on both of them and I'm unable to watch them. I've tried a reset but that didn't work.
I have rung up Apple UK twice and got two different operators, one in the UK and then one in the USA. Both seemed very isolated with no contact with other Apple Mac staff except through computer. One told me to contact iTunes support online (he gave me an url and then realized it was the American url and not for the UK) and the other gave me the same url and told me to contact iphone support online.
Both times I was left waiting for an inordinately long length of time when I suspect the operators were dealing with other calls. In fact, I got the impression, rightly or wrongly, that I was dealing with people who were working from their own homes with minimal training and support and who were being paid for the number of calls they took and, if there was a call like me which didn't come up with a solution on the computer screen, they went on to other calls and left me hanging.
I did manage to find the Apple UK support page on my own but when I tried to contact them the error message "Service Unavailable - DNS failure. The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later. Reference #11.7f2645f.1348163355.65fe47"
https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action?locale=en_GB&caller=cup
I haven't had to contact Apple UK for a year or so but I've never had such an awful, waste of time experience before with people who did not seemed at all trained or given the facilities to handle calls. Can somebody please help me on this or give me an email address for Apple Support UK?

I believe the issue is that you have to be connected to the Internet (the iTunes Store) when you play the movie. I'm not sure if that's just when you initially start the movie or not. This is necessary, I'm assuming, to keep tabs on their time limits for viewing the movie once it's started. You could go to iTunes Store and scroll to the bottom and click on Terms of Use. It's all spelled out there under Rentals.
