Movie didn't download properly now won't play

I downloaded a movie but it didn't download properly - its showing on my computer as separate .tmp files. I opened it in itunes and it says 'this film cannot be played on this computer'. I can redownload it but I will have to pay $70 for internet quota as I am in a remote location. Can anyone suggest a way to repair the file? It is the same size as the movie (4.7GB) so should mostly be there.

You should be able to download the app again and not get charged a second time. Unlike music and other media content, you can download applications more than once. Just go through the normal buy process and it should allow you to download without charge. I'd suggest trying it through iTunes on your computer this time rather than through your iPhone.
If you continue to have problems, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Contact page and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

I can't find download for movie rentals, says downloaded but I won't play.

Need help fixing this issue.

No, in the Video app there is no download option. You download a movie from iTunes, where it should appear in the Video app and you watch it from there.

I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

After doing some research, I found out that I had accidently hid iPhoto after I paused the download. After going into my apple id account and saw my hidden purchases, I found it. Thank you so much helping me though!

I have no idea what this means.
Anyway, go to the "Movies" tab in iTunes. Control-click your movie, and choose "Play <movie name>".

Hey megatony87,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having authorization issues with a purchased album on your computer. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

HT201272 How do I re-download a tv show that didn't download properly the first time?

i purchased a copy of Downton Abbey Season 3 and the first episode did not download properly. It's showing already downloaded and isn't letting me re-download. How do I get this episode into my library?

If you are looking at the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then deleting the incomplete version from the TV Shows part of your library (i.e. where you would click on it to play it) should change it from 'Downloaded' to have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading.

How to redownload a video that didn't download properly.

I bought a season pass to a tv show. three episodes didn't download correctly. can't find a way to redownload without buying again. When I went to purchase history there was no option to redownload even if I deleted the corrupted file. Is this just a way for apple to make more money by making you buy it twice? Or, is there a way to download again.
Thanks

Songs on Iphone now won't play, how do i fix this?

I downloaded several songs from itunes from my phone. most continue to play, a couple played a few times and now wont play at all. I synced my iphone to my computer, took the songs off my iphone and put them back on and they still won't play. Ive redownloaded the songs and they still wont play. All of the songs will play on my computer but for some reason those few wont play just on my iphone. please help!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Song downloaded on iPhone won't play on MacBook on same account...

I downloaded two songs on my iPhone 4S today, when I opened up my MacBook Pro both songs had been automatically downloaded onto the computer. I played the first one no problem. The second song asked for me to authorize it to play on this computer, I entered my apple ID, it accepted it and said this computer is authorized (3 out of 5 authorizations allowed). I tried to play it again and the same authorization tab pops up- I've tried it multiple times. I consulted apple support online and followed instructions to delete an SC Info folder and restart, I did that and I had to re-authorize the entire computer after, which I did and that's fine. That one song still won't play- what's up?? How do I fix this??

Okay, I contacted Apple and they had me sign out of iTunes on both my iPhone and my computer. Apparently the song was locked in the download queue somehow, and signing out and in let it restart the download.

Downloaded from iTunes, won't play in iDVD

I have some mpeg4 files that I downloaded from the iTunes Library online. I am attempting to use them in an iDVD project, but some of them will not play. Some others will play. The ones that won't play in iDVD will still play in iTunes.
The files that don't work seem to have a little padlock in the upper left corner that I cannot get rid of.
Any suggestions?

Hello Curt,
The tracks that won't play in iDVD, were those tracks that you imported from a CD? Or did you purchase and download directly from iTunes?
If you can’t play a song purchased from the iTunes Store, you may have exceeded the number of computers on which you can play your purchases.
Unless the song is an iTunes Plus version, you can play an iTunes Store purchase on up to five authorized computers. After you authorize five computers (by playing purchases on those computers), you can’t play the songs on a sixth computer until you deauthorize one of the five authorized computers. (For instructions on deauthorizing a computer, click the first link below.)
If the song is available as an iTunes Plus download, you may ugrade the song at the iTunes Store.
If you're listening to a shared library or playlist, iTunes skips iTunes Store purchases if your computer hasn't been authorized to play them. To listen to a purchased song in a shared library or playlist, double-click the song. If your computer isn't authorized to play songs purchased by the person who is sharing the song, you'll need to enter that person's Apple or AOL account ID and password to hear the song.
You might be trying to play an AAC file that was not created using iTunes or downloaded from the iTunes Store. Songs you download from the iTunes Store or import into your library using the AAC encoder are encoded using the new MPEG-4 AAC format, and play in iTunes and on your iPod. Other AAC files that you find on the Internet or elsewhere won't play in iTunes.
If you’re trying to play a song on a CD that you burned using iTunes, make sure the equipment on which you're trying to play the CD is appropriate for the disc's format. For example, if you burned a CD-RW disc, you can play it only on your computer and some newer CD players. If you burned an MP3 disc, it should work in your computer and on special MP3 CD players, but not on standard consumer audio CD players. You can't play DVDs burned using iTunes on most consumer DVD players.

Videos in iphoto played before but now won't play

I tried to create a slideshow and fooled around with some videos in it. Now they won't play. Help!

By fooled around with some videos do you mean you just added some videos to an iPhoto slideshow? Did you try exporting the slideshow or just play it? Is your profile correct for the system and iPhoto versions?
What happens when you double click on a video to play it?
