Movie Rentals Don't Work!!!! Watch out don't rent one!!

I've tried several times to rent and download a movie on itunes.  Everything else works fine, and NO IT'S NOT MY INTERNET CONNECTION!!!  I am trying to warn everyone I can, it doesn't work!!!  And trying to get a refund from Apple is impossible. 
Apple just doesn't have their act together.  Search this site and you'll see all kinds of problems with renting movies.
DON'T DO IT!!! Go someplace else and rent your movies.

I would advise you to try out SpotBox in your neighbourhood then. It's cheaper anyway.

  • Movie rental won't work-- playing but screen is gray.

    I rented a movie from itunes for the first time. Podcasts, tv show downloads, purchases have all worked in the past, and they all work today, but this rental is not working. I now have 22 hours to watch a movie I can't see.
    I've often used Blockbuster to rent online movies, and after a certain amount downloads, you can start watching the movie. I tried to do the same with this, the download was only about 25% done. I've since closed itunes after the download finished. I've restarted my computer, I've clicked on various chapters of the movie and tried to see any part of it, but it's still all gray.
    I do have the latest version of itunes. But please let me know how I can make this work or get my money back. iTunes support by phone isn't very... contactable usually, and of all things it should offer online chat support. Oh well.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try resetting your PRAM. If that doesn't work, you may need to get it looked at. It could be a power supply or hard drive issue.

  • Move FTP server - what to watch out for

    Hi,
    The client is looking at moving the ftp server to another server (another ip address). I know I will need to amend the communication channels to contain the new ip address's. What will need to be done from a basis side? What other things will I need to look out for?
    Thanks,
    Leanne

    HI,
    Mostly changes need to be carried out at File adapter level.
    Changes required
    1) New FTP server ip address
    2) change in directory path
    3) password
    4) port.

  • Movie rental did not work. Next step?

    My rental from the iTunes store was unable to complete. 25 minutes in it stopped and I could not skip past. Does anyone have any suggestions as to reimbursment or how to finish the movie?

    The iTunes support staff are very helpful. You can contact them here:

  • Movie rental unavailable after Hard Drive failure.

    I rented a movie 20 days ago and before I got the chance to watch it the hard drive died. I have had the hard drive replaced and recovered everything from my Time Machine backup, everything except my movie rental. It shows up in iTunes under Rented Movies, but it says that it can't find the original file. If I go to download again I have to pay again.
    Does anyone have any way of getting the rental again for free as it's unwatched, I have 10 days left, or where the file would be stored on my hard drive?
    Thanks in advance

    Rentals have such specialized protection that I don't know if it's possible to back them up and recover them with Time Machine (or any other backup system). I'd suggest contacting the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Contact page and explaining the situation to them. Perhaps they can grant another rental without you having to pay a second time.
    Good luck.

  • Watch Out K7t266 Pro 2 Users! Misadvertised Amd's!

    Anybody in the market for an AMD Athlon XP 1500+ for their k7t266 pro 2 watch out! I bought one from http://www.mwave.com and they had it advertised as having a palomino core, but after much testing and lost sleep over the mobo not booting (see my earlier post: "Help! k7t266 pro 2 won't boot") and purchasing an additional mobo of the same type and different brands of RAM, I finally discovered that the whole problem is that the processor actually is a throughbred core.  I guess after doing a few mods suggested in this forum I could make it work, but I'm not going to chance it.
    DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF AMD MAKES THE ATHLON XP 1500+ IN BOTH PALOMINO AND THOROUGHBRED CORES?  I POSTED IN AMD'S FORUM AND MOST "EXPERTS" SAY ONLY PALOMINO BUT THE FOLLOWING LINK SAYS OTHERWISE SINCE MY PROCESSOR HAS "AXLD1500" ON IT
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=amdcpu
    THANKS, AND WATCH OUT FOR MISADVERTISED PROCESSORS!

    THE REPLY FROM AMD FORUM'S MODERATORS AT LINK:
    http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=8318
    (SCROLL ABOUT 3/4 DOWN THE PAGE)
    APPARENTLY MWAVE IS SELLING MOBILE OR "LOW POWER" ATHLON XP'S AS SUPPOSEDLY "PALOMINO" CORED PROCESSORS.  ANYWAY, IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING A K7T266 PRO 2 TO POST OR BOOT, DOUBLE CHECK YOUR NUMBERS ON YOUR PROCESSOR WITH THE MSI PROCESSOR GUIDE!

  • Why do i get charged a $1 on top of the movie rental price?

    why do i get charged a $1 on top of the movie rental price?

    My guess is that you rented an HD version of the movie, which probably costs $1 than the SD version.

  • Question on Movie Rental

    Hello all.
    This will be the first time I am renting a movie and I got a couple of questions.
    This is from the iTS Movie Rental Support Docu:
    • You can only play your rented movies on the computer you rented it from and only if it is authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases and rentals.
    Please refer to the last point; *Query: If I rent and download a movie from my iMac (main computer), can I transfer it to my MacBook?* OR that I just have to rent it off my MacBook? Because I was thinking of syncing the rental to my iPod and iPhone too (just in case) and they are connected/sync to my iMac.
    Merry Christmas and Cheers!

    I think as you read more you will find that if you transfer the rental it will be deleted from the other device. You cannot have a rental on 2 devices. You have 30 days to view the movie - once you start viewing you have 24 hours to view it as many times as you want - then the content will automatically delete.

  • Rented movie on imac unable to watch on 2nd gen apple tv

    I rented a movie on my imac through itunes. I would now like to watch that movie through apple tv (2nd generation), however the rented movie does not appear on apple TV. I only seem to be able to stream movies from my imac to apple tv that I have purchased. Is this correct, you can only stream purchased movies from imac to apple tv (2nd generation) not rented ones. thanks

    I have played around with this for a while and am pretty sure you can't stream movies rented on an Imac via itunes to your apple TV (2nd generation). This is really annoying as I have a slow internet connection and being able to store rented movies on my imac would be really good. Why doesn't apple allow this I wonder?

  • HT1657 Is there a way to search for movie rentals only? I don't want to buy movies and I'm tired of clicking on a movie only to find out its for purchase only

    Is there a way to search for movie rentals only? I don't want to buy movies and I'm tired of clicking on a movie only to find out its for purchase only?

    The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • Can I rent a movie in iTunes and then watch it in my car where I don't have an Internet connection?

    Just wondering how to download a movie on the iPad and then take it in the car or on a plane and watch it... Is it possible to rent a movie on iTunes and then watch it elsewhere, where I don't have access to Internet?

    Absolutely.  You can rent or buy a movie in iTunes and once downloaded to your iPad, watch it without internet access.  You can do this directly on your iPad.  Open iTunes on your iPad.  Browse, then buy or rent what you want.  Once downloaded, your purchase will appear in your Video App, which was preloaded on your iPad.

  • ITunes HD movie rentals/purchases don't play in QuickTime player

    I am trying to play HD movie rentals/purchases in QuickTime player. Although I can play them without problems in iTunes, opening the movie file in QuickTime player only gives me a grey screen and no sound. The "grey screen" issue occurs several times in the community, but for my case I haven't found any solution so far. I am using Windows 7 (64-bit), and I have all the latest versions of iTunes and QuickTime Player (free version) installed. I appreciate any suggestions for help.

    that tells me, the needed codecs are already on the system.
    m4v is a container format for iTunes and contains mostly two streams. One video H264, one sound mp4
    Check handbrake for its sound settings.
    Try to rename the movie into kids playing.mp4 and check if Quicktime will open it.
    Quicktime is a crap.
    By the way...
    What OS X ?
    What version of Quicktime?
    Generally ... if VLC, iTunes, FrontRow is available and plays the movies, why want to play it in Quicktime?
