Movie rental time limit: 24 hours not enough?

If I am in the middle of watching a movie and the 24 hour limit is up, does the movie just quit or will it keep playing until it's finished?
And is it just me, or is 24 hours not long enough? Suppose at 7:00 I decide to rent Cinderella for the kids, but by 8:00 they're all asleep. They'll have to wait until the next night to watch it, but unfortunately when the clock strikes 7, the rental, like Cinderella's coach disappears. It might play to completion if I start it at 6:59, but if I wait until 7:01 to continue it, I'm SOL
Wouldn't a 30-hour time limit make more sense?

My previous post regarding this issue was pulled due to "inappropriate non-technical issues". So i will try to be more technical. I downloaded a movie over a three day period only to find that the movie had a 2 hr window left after the download was finished. This was due to the fact that i clicked on the rented movie icon to see what it was (this was my first time renting). The movie played for 10 sec. then i stopped it. I guess i was unaware of the 24 hour limit.
I feel that if you have a 3o day rental...you should be able to view the movie for 30 days, and as many times as you wish during that 30 days. Its good enough for Netflix and the like. I don't think I'll rent anymore form iTunes.
That is my two cents.

  • Time limit is not working correctly

    I'm using a dot-connection task in which my participants have to complete a picture by 'drawing' a line with the mouse to connect numbered dots. They get a time limit of 10 seconds to do this; and they have to do it with three different pictures, so the script is repeated two times with different pictures.
    However, very often the program stops drawing the line after about 5 seconds. So, the picture is visible for the full 10 seconds and the little clock showing the remaining time also counts down these 10 seconds, but the mouse just doesn't leave a line anymore after a couple of seconds.
    This does not happen every time, sometimes it does work for the whole ten seconds. Sometimes, it even works for the first picture, but not for the other two, for example, although the script should be completely the same, since it is just repeated.
    It seems to me that it is completely random at which try it works and at which it doesn't; does anyone know what is going on?
    Thank you!!

    You have enough syncpoint() and syncwait(0.01) statements in your script?

  • Time Machine Restore "Not enough free space"

    My Problem:
    1) I backed up my iphoto library to a 1TB external HD
    2) Deleted my iphoto library from internal SSD
    3) iMovie cannot locate any of my movie files anymore therefore;
    4) I am required to use time machine to restore my iphoto library
    5) I have an abundance of free space on my internal SSD to do what time machine is built to do
    6) 130 GB free space on internal SSD. iPhoto requires 60 GB to restore
    7) NOT ENOUGH FREE SPACE TO RESTORE??
    What i need from YOU (the expert out there):
    1) Either inform me how to relocate lost movie files for iMovie or
    2) Educate me on how to restore large files back to my internal SSD
    What I have TRIED and DONE to NO avail:
    1) Emptied the "Trash" (apparently that was supposed to help)
    2) Create 2x the space required for the restore of iPhoto on my internal SSD (apparently sometimes it needs twice the memory, which by the way is bogus)
    3) Used my second backup of iPhoto, with a copy and paste function

    Brilliant.
    Now if I could solve my iMovie video relocation problem I would be back in business. Definitly won't be able to always have my iPhoto complete library on my internal SSD.
    Thanks!

  • Movie rental on iPad iTunes not showing up

    Please help! We spent 2 hours downloading a movie rental to iPad and it's not appearing in purchases

    THANK YOU Demo.  Why in the world doesn't iTunes tell you that it's going to put the movie there, in a completely separate app?  I hate iTunes.

  • Time Machine claims not enough space, but there's plenty

    Hello --
    I'm having a problem with my Time Machine backup ever since upgrading to Yosemite. After the initial backup, I get these errors: "The backup disk needs 838.03 GB for the backup but only 712.05 GB are available. Select a larger backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding files."
    However, there is plenty of space. The initial backup took up about 898 GB of my 1.61 TB machine. Subsequent incremental backups should only take up a fraction — and I'm confident that I haven't added hundreds of gigabytes of new data to my disk. However, each time Time Machine tries to run its backup, I get the same error.
    Time Machine is backing up both my small internal hard drive (128 GB) and the rest of the backup comes from an external drive. It worked fine under Mavericks, but under Yosemite it seems that Time Machine doesn't realize that the hundreds of gigabytes on the external drive has already been backed up before and doesn't all need to be backed up again.
    Any thoughts? I had a backup that was several months old earlier; once I started getting this error, I wiped that backup thinking that a fresh backup might sole the error. No such luck.
    I'm running Yosemite 10.10.0 on a mid-2011 MacBook Air, backing up to a Sinology NAS. (My wife who is still using Mavericks is continuing to successfully backup to the same drive.)
    Thanks everyone!
    - geoff

    I have the exact same problem with almost the same setup: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) running Yosemite 10.10, an external harddrive and a Time Capsule 2 TB (4th Generation, Version 7.6.4). I even took the same actions as geoff2 (deleting the complete set of backups from Mavericks and making a new complete backup on Yosemite). On my internal harddrive 270 GB are occupied, on my external harddrive around 980 GB are occupied and the MacBook of my girlfriend is also backed up to the Time Capsule. At the moment around 646 GB are available on the Time Capsule.
    Now I get the same error message saying, that 977 GB are needed for a backup but only 650 GB are available. Interestingly backups without the external drive connected will complete without any problems.
    The external drive has a "GUID Partition Table". So it seems both of Linc Davis suggestions don't apply to the problem (we both have either GUID Partition Table or Logical Volume Group and the issue appears both on a NAS-Storage and on a Time Capsule).
    Looking for additional information I looked into the console and found the following report: "Inheritance scan may be required for '/Volumes/Dolphin', associated with previous UUID: BA36E38E-71F9-39E1-BF72-36AF9D4BB45F". "Dolphin" is the name of the external drive. What does that mean? Is it of any relevance? For more information I will post all the reports concerning the backup below (it's mainly about trying to free more space on the TC by deleting old backups). "Yosemite" is my internal OS X Volume, "Hamster" is the name of the Volume on the TC, "Nifty" is a Nifty mini drive in the SD-Card-Slot.
    I already verified the backups using the Option-Click on the menu bar symbol and I deleted and rebuilt the Spotlight index but it changed nothing. We could of course delete the backup volume (NAS or TC) and start a new backup, but I have a feeling, that the issue will appear again afterwards. Any other suggestions?

  • Time Machine error: not enough space

    A little while ago I got an error from my Time Machine backup, stating, "The backup disk needs 349.72 GB for the backup but only 327.67 GB are available. Select a larger backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding files." This was not a new backup, and I couldn't see any reason why Time Machine would deviate from the usual small incremental backups. I finally ended up formatting my Time Capsule and starting over. Things were going fine until today, when I got the same message. Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
    The backup is for my iMac, running OS 10.10.3, the Time Capsule is 1 GB. I don't have any partitions, and the total backup for my computer should be only around 500 GB according to the Time Machine preferences. I do have an external hard drive connected, which holds videos and photos and is included in the backup.

    Thanks for the comment but I don't think I'm having any of those issues. Time Machine will work fine for a while, and then it suddenly decides it needs to back up almost 350 GB of "new" data even though there haven't been any changes that would justify that large a backup. This is what I see in the Time Machine Buddy widget:

  • Time Machine says not enough room on disk

    Time Machine says that I do not have enough room on my backup disk.  It is a 1 TB Drive, with 992 GB available.
    I only want to back up my programs and data, which, if a full backup, is 662 GB, but for some reason, I am being told that I have 2.6 TB of data to back up.  I have no idea where all of this other data is coming from, is there any way I can select what I want backed up?  Effectively I want to back up my boot drive, and my data drive, that's it.  I do have two other drives in my tower, and they are full of data, but I do not need to back them up, and they may be what is causing the problem, but I don't know how to remove them from my backup list.
    Any help or direction would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
    TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Restore from time machine error 'not enough space'

    I'm trying to restore my HD from Time Machine and in the Select A Destination' window the HD is listed but I cannot select it.  At the bottom there is an error message of "This disk does not have enough space to restore your system".   Let me say the backup came from this same computer.  I thinking I may have to reformat the HD and then restore.   Any helpful advice?

    Hi Lostin24
    I have got exactly the same problem so my Macbook is waiting since I found no solution for this strange issue.

  • Question about Movie Rental Times and AirPlay

    Just wondering. I have been sitting with my Apple TV2 since I got it this morning with it saying to download an hd movie. 1920 minutes remaining.I can get a faster download off my computer so that comes to my second question. Can I rent it on my computer and airplay it to my Apple TV?
    Oh and my network speed is 3mbs. Not alot I know... But is that ok?

    Are either of you using a DNS server / name server other than the one provided by your Internet service provider? OpenDNS or Google's DNS service, for instance? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, probably not.) There have been a number of reports suggesting that this can result in slow media downloads due to the way the movie servers try to optimize delivery based on your location, though it's unclear to me how accurate this really is.
    Also, be aware that by default, the new Apple TVs provide "hi-def" rentals from the iTunes store (this is not applicable to Netflix), which means a larger and therefore longer download. To rent standard definition, you have to go into Settings and switch rentals to standard definition.

  • Can't download movies on iPad 2: error "not enough storage"

    I'm trying to download/rent a movie on my iPad 2 and I'm getting a error stating that I don't have enough storage.  I then go to my iCloud storage and it't telling me I have 5GB total storage wiht 4.8GB available.... please help as I'm obviously missing something .... BTW... I'm a new iPad user.

    yes and it directs me to "settings" to manage my storage.  When I go there it's saying I have 4.8GB available on iCloud storage and about 4GB on the iPad.

  • HT201250 Time machine error not enough disk space OS 10.5.8

  • Time Machine error "not enough disk space"

    I just recently updated to Mavericks and Time Machine won't work.  Sounds like it's a common problem, but I've gone back a month in the forum and haven't found my exact issue yet.  In my case, I get an error message that claims I don't have enough disk space, that's the reason TM won't start. In the past, Time Machine would just delete the oldest back ups and create new back ups when I've filled up my back up hard drive.
    My hard drive is plugged in the back USB port, and it's a 500 GB Hitachi.  My Mac is also 500 GB, it says I need 354 GB to back up and I only have 96 available.
    I've tried the following:
    Turn TM on and off, disconnect it from Mac
    Added entire Mac HD to the Spotlight privacy list, then pull it off the list such that Spotlight would re-index my hard drive.
    Turned off the energy saving on hard drives in preferences
    I'm almost thinking I need to reformat my back up TM drive and start a fresh TM again.  I have no problem deleting what I have on there, but would hate to do it if it also wouldn't work.
    Any ideas?
