ITunes won't let me rent a movie

I tried to rent the movie Forrest Gump on my iPhone.
It won't download is the problem.
It begins for like a second or two and then says "download error. Tap to retry.".
Does anybody know what to do? Is it because of the network im on? Is it because of the movie file itself?
Help!

Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and explain the problem to them. iTunes Store personnel do not participate in these forums, so posting here will not do anything toward getting the problem resolved.

Won't let me rent a movie?

I know not all movies allow the option to rent but my case is different.
Almost a month ago, I rented the movie "Frozen". A few weeks later, I watched the movie. Now, I want to rent it again to watch with a different group of people, but the option to rent is no longer there. I know you can rent the movie "Frozen" because of the past rental, but it no longer lets me purchase it.
Is it because you can only rent movies once, then have to buy them? Or because my 30-day rental period isn't over? Thanks in advance.

Which country are you in ? From a quick look at the UK and US stores it looks like Disney's Frozen film (that is the film that you are referring to ?) is now only available to buy - rights-holders occasionally change how their films are available, so they can be available for rental (or buying) for limited periods

TS1424 iTunes won't let me redeem a movie.

It keeps asking me to choose 3 security questions and answers. I can only add one security question on my account from what I can tell. This is the first time it has ever done this and I have redeemed a few other movies in the past with no problem. Anyone know how to fix this or has anyone else encountered this issue?

An account can have three questions on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
If you can’t set them, you don't know their current answers, and the above link doesn't let you reset them then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

ITunes won't let me redownload a movie.

I recently got a new computer and I restored my iPod but did not back it up because I didn't think there was anything important on it. There was a movie that was on it and I want to get it back but when I go to buy it in the iTunes store it brings me to the downloads section because I have already purchased the movie once before but I don't see the movie in the list.

You only get one download ( sam policy as Wal-Mart and Amazon). It is your responsibility to copy and/or move it wherever you want it.
From the itunes store terms of service:
"PRODUCTS CAN BE DOWNLOADED ONLY ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR RENTED FROM THE ITUNES STORE THAT ARE STORED IN YOUR SYSTEM."
Where is your backup copy of all of your important info/music/pics/docs/files/etc.? Use this to put the movie back.
If for some reason you have failed to do this ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

HT201272 I have a Canadian account and am currently in the US. It won't let me rent a movie. How do I?

iTunes keeps telling me to switch to the Canadian store, so I close and go to Canadian store, try again, and same response. Trying to get a couple movies rented for a flight tomorrow. Thanks...I'm sure it's user error...but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

You need to be physically in Canada or supply a payment method valid in the USA.

TS3297 iTunes won't let me buy a movie?

I have reset my iPad and I still can't buy a movie from iTunes. It worked on my other iPad 2?

See Kappy's previous write-up.

ITunes won't let me Rent/Buy

Every time I try to rent/purchase a film, I type the password then the password window just comes up again. It doesn't say the pass is wrong, it just shows up blank again.
I even typed the wrong password and then it would come up that it is wrong, but otherwise the window just shows up again blank after I click "rent" or "buy".
Please help!

Did you try to turn your phone off a couple minutes, that usually helps with recuring issues like that.

Applet keeps asking for verification ti on on my payment info. Had an expired credit card so I changed that and saved it but apple TV still won't let me rent a movie

Apple TV asks for payment verification even after I have changes the expired credit card ?

Go into iTunes on computer and double check all info is correct, including address and security code. Log out and back into account on Apple TV.

ITunes won't let me watch a Movie

I have downloaded The Dark Night from iTunes but when I attempt to play it it reads "Need you authorize computer first before viewing". I put my password in but says I have already been authorized but still asked me to authorize. Very Frusturating!!
Please Help
Thanks!

Security code in iTunes or on AppleTV 2?
Making rentals/purchases from new devices forces you to verify security details in iTunes. I can't remember if I could enter the 3 digit security code on AppleTV2 direct but i had to do it with AppleTv 1 via itunes the other day.
I could not get it to accept my changes until i relaised it wanted me to enter my 'title' which had previously been set - for some reason it wasn't now and I put something else in and it still worked!

Apple TV - i'd like to watch what i paused. The system says i have to go to itunes and 'check for downloads.' The wheel keeps spinning..... the system won't let me rent again.

Question is a bit unclear. Once you start a rental, you have 24 hours to complete it. I pause mine all the time. When I hit play again, I get a choice to either resume where I left off or start all over. I believe it is necessary to have an internet connection while view ATV content, so if you lost the connection, that might make it "spin".
Re your tag line "Can I view my ATV thru my iPad?" If you have a wifi connection, you can view almost anything with AirPlay. Or you can view anything from the various ATV selections without having your iPad on. Of course, you have to pay for some options like HBO, Netflix, etc.

Can't get the music from my iPod onto my new Dell. iTunes won't let me.

AFTER recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

How to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5. Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

how to update Ipad 2 from IOS 4.3.5 to IOS 5? Itunes won't let me do it because it keeps showing error messages asking me to check if my network is active.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

HT1338 My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod. If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.
