Movies rented from iTunes Store won't download what can I do?

I have rented 2 movies from iTunes and keep getting error messages. I have checked storage and have more than enough available. Any suggestions?

This happened to me as well on May 14th. I have paid for the movies but still have not been able to complete the download or remove them from my download list. I have tried all suggestions on all other threads. Sync, restore, hard resets, tried swipping left. Nothing is working. I have cleared history & cache. I have logged out of itunes.

Hi Nanas12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you continue to see an "unable to purchase" message on the iTunes Store, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Watching a movie rented from iTunes store on television using ITV

I installed my recently purchased Apple TV and had everything working smoothly until renting a movie from iTunes store. The movie would play on my computer monitor, but not on the television. When I tried a window would appear saying, "the movie was not copied to the Apple TV because the Apple TV could not contact the iTunes Store to authorize. Please check your Internet connection or try again later." The Internet connection to the television worked fine as did the Internet connection to the computer. It was only when I tried to watch the movie on television that the problem arose. What could be the problem?

Same thing here... Direct purchase of musicvideos, tv shows, etc. via Apple TV with no problem (account is valid, connection is there, content is downloaded). Musicvideos and tv shows are synced to my iTunes library and I can play the complete content on my computer. Musicvideos ARE available on ATV (just bought one via iTunes... and directly available and playable on ATV), but purchased tv shows are not available and will not sync (tv show WAS bought via Apple TV... synced to iTunes... but after changing syncing to the latest 5 episodes of tv shows I cannot stream with the online and connected iTunes library to watch my bought shows).

HT1745 quicktime not authorized to play movies rented from iTunes store

Rented 3 movies last night from the iTunes store. Download began and ended just fine. When I tried to view one of the movies, quicktime opened with this message: "QuickTime Player is not authorized to play “Clara's Heart.m4v”. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes"
So, I tried to open with iTunes, and discovered that I couldn't.
Any ideas of what to do please? I would appreciate explanations in simpe english as I do not understand computer jargon. Thanks very much.

Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:
iTunes 10.4 for Mac: Older media files may require iTunes to reopen in 32-bit mode
Does the rental play then?

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

The movie I rented at itune store failed to download. I tried to download it again, but it seems I would be charged again if I download. How can I download the movie I have already paid without being charged twice?

Hello ktsuchiya
If you can get your rental to download by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

HT1657 Why are there no credits on movies rented from iTunes?

Can anyone tell why there are no credits (movie credits ) with movies rented from iTunes?

Amy, until the copyright holders for TV content in the UK authorize Apple to distribute, there is nothing Apple can do.
The only way to buy from another country's store is to have a credit card with a billing address from that specific country. Again, these rules are set by the copyright holders not Apple.

See if you can get a refund. Other than that you would have to buy them back as audiobooks.
