Movie disappeared in Apple TV, general/downloads tab does not exist

Hi, I've just rented a movie using my Apple TV. The movie started running and after 5 minutes of watching, suddenly it stopped and disappeared. When I wanted to rent it again, I got the error that "the movie has already been rented so I need to go to setting/download... a tab which simply does not exist.
Anyway, I've tried general/itunesstore/check for rentals and it doesn't go anywhere as well.
As a result,
i cannot watch the movie because it just disappeared
i cannot rent it again because apple tv won't let me
apple tv will charge me and just because i don't think it's fair, i'll run after 2,99 for a couple of days to convince a call center operator.
isn't it just bad? apple's doing its worst lately. I've just had my skype gone blind in  MacBook Air because they changed the software so that skype can't see the camera. (it's fixed now.)
i really want some people to feel themselves bad about their work down in cupertino.
Anyway, does anyone know what could be done?

Hello pasink; Hello seanmoney302
Your problems are not unique:  many people who use this forum have experienced the same thing you two have.
Here is a solution - first proposed by Corza from Australia - that worked for me:
In Apple TV, cursor over to Settings and check -
Settings > iTunes Store > Location
Settings > General > Time Zone
Settings > General > Region Format.
It was the last one that worked for me.  The wrong country was selected under Region Format; as soon as I made the correction, everything returned to normal with my rentals.
I should add that another series of steps has worked for others.
Sign out of, then back into, iTunes.  You will have to re-enter your Apple ID and password.
Restart Apple TV either from within the device itself, or by unplugging and waiting for 30 - 60 seconds, then plugging in again.
Good Luck to both of you.

    I have the left hand summary tab but I no longer get access to the icons across the top where I used to choose what synchs and what doesn't - Apps, music, etc.  How do I get that back?

  • I can no longer download in Safari.  The Download tab does not show up in toolbar any  longer. Can anyone help?

    I like to download old music videos from the 50's.  Recently the Download tap in Safari does not show up anymore.  It's as if I did something that may have deleted it.  I can't find away to get it back.  For now I've switched to my Google App which works just fine.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    Start downloading the music video.
    The Download button should appear when you start downloading anything from the web.
    If the download list is empty, download button will not be shown by default.
    Best.

    Hi,
    You need to configure View profile and you have need to assign to equipment category.
    Define
    IMG >> Plant maintenance and Customer service >> master data in PM & CS >> Technical objects >> General data >> set view profiles for technical object
    Screen group - Screen group for equipment data
    Profile - standard
    Select row and double click on ACTIVITY & LAYOUT OF VIEW
    Add screen number 110 - Warranty in existing tab
    or you can define new tab as warranty and assign 110 screen
    Assign
    IMG >> Plant maintenance and Customer service >> master data in PM & CS >> Technical objects >> Equipment >> equipment categories >> Maintain equipment categories.
    Here you can assign that profile to you equipment category.

  • HT1390 I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV.  Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library.  When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it.

    Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer.  I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room.  Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next.

  • HT1595 I have just bought apple tv which allows me to play music through airport express but when  chose to watch a movie the audio comes from the tv and does not give option listen through other speakers served through airport express. Can you help me ?

    I have just bought apple tv which allows me to play music through airport express but when  chose to watch a movie the audio comes from the tv and does not give option listen through other speakers served through airport express. Can you help me ?

    No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
    You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

  • My cursor frequently stops working.  It still moves but nothing happens when I click with it.  Also, when I go for support Apple tells me my serial number does not exist but I am sure I am entering the correct one.

    My arrow cursor changes unexpectedly to the "tall I" cursor and then I can't open links.
    My two delete buttons only work one letter/number at a time.
    When I go for Apple support it says my serial number does not exist?  But I know it is correct!

  • Windows 8 - Move Elements to New PC - Does Not Download - Download Assistant Does Not Pop Up

    I just switch to an Asus N550 which runs Windows 8. I have no need to subscribe to creative cloud at this time as I feel that I have still a few months/years of joy to get out of my Elements 11 purchase from last year.
    I also have Premiere 10 which I would like to migrate over to my new computer.
    Here is what I have tried thus far:
    I logged onto my Adobe account and tried to download from "My Products". I have noticed that the Adobe Download Manager does not install at that point or turn on. I almost immediate receive an error message stating that Elements Archive is not on my computer and thus the software cannot download.
    I have also tried to download the trial versions, but once download is complete (after hours of waiting again), nothing happens and there are no temporary files or anything in my System Files folder.
    I am at a loss and am not sure where to turn to next. I have the Lightroom CD and was able to install Lightroom with the CD without any hick-ups.
    What is going wrong during my download attempts that need fixed? I cannot seem to find the answer on Adobe.
    Thank you!

    Hi J.Ke11y,
    Sorry for the trouble with download.
    Please try to download Photoshop Elements 11 from this link: Other downloads
    Let us know this works.
    Thanks,

    software tab does not appear in settings on ipad - how do I update software

    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 anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

    The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
    Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
    Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
    Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
    For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app.
