Rented movie will not leave "Downloads" : Error 5102

I rented a movie several months ago, and it will not leave my iTunes > Store > Downloads.
I can delete the item when it appears, and it will go away. However, the next time I click "Downloads" I'm presented with the message "1 iTunes Download Available". The cycle continues when I delete it.
This wouldn't normally bother me, but since it's a 2GB movie file (presumably somewhere on my system; not sure where, as I've searched with Spotlight). I'd like it off my system if it is, indeed, on my Mac.
Any suggestions welcome.

I'm having the same problem. I noticed this problem after I manually cleared out my system's cashe because of an unrelated issue. I let the movie download completely but at the end of the download it errors out because of a network connection failure... obviously that really is not the issue. When I try to play the movie I get a message that states "could not play rented movie "''" because it is authorized to play on a different computer or device." Now I have an entire movie that I can not play sitting in my itunes wasting space.

Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

Hello b noir.
Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
Apple representative did not know why this happened.
Thanks.

HT1657 Rented movie does not download on Apple tv

Dear apple. You've done it again. You ruined our movie night. Rented movie, got all ready to start watching. Now the movie does not download. Wrong on your Sid as Internet works (100Mbps) and other content/trailers download swiftly.
I am extremely ****** of that this happened again. I have lost the past hour trying various things and now finding a way to get my money back.
Please up your game.

Thanks King_Penguin,
The fact that I logged into an apple.com site fooled me to believe that this was a 'report a problem' site.
I since found the 'report a problem' link.
Wasn't easy to find (could not find it on my apple TV or iPad) had to:
log into iTunes via laptop, and then
click on iTunes Store (right top);
click on account (quick link or at bottom);
select "see all' next to purchase history;
click on small arrow next to 'problem' purchase (movie rental for me);
click on 'report a problem' (at bottom);
click on 'report a problem again (now inside the purchase details) - redirect to browse
fill in details, and
submit.
As you can see quite a long process.
The long process and my missed movie night were the frustrating parts.
The reponse from Apple Customer Support was swift and extremely good - makes up for the frustration.

Rented movie does not play

Why does a rented movie not play?

I had the same problems.
There are two solutions...
a) Logout from iStore at Apple TV, Restart Apple TV, Login again
If this way won't work:
b) Restore to factory setting helps.

Rented movie will not fully download?

I've downloaded a movie for rental from itunes, and went to watch it because it had partially downloaded. The screen froze a few minutes in and then wouldnt play or open when i exited and went back in. After watching the download bar in itunes, the download get to around half way and then restarts again. And now because i have opened the movie, the 48 hours for me to watch this in has started. There is no problem with my wi-fi, all other devices in my home are working correctly.
Please help?? :(

Hello holly.dolly,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iTunes movie rental.
I suggest trying to resume the download:
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
Enter your account name and password if prompted.
Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

HT1657 movie will not finish downloading

half way through movie it stops. I have connection. any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are in the US, try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Movie Did Not Finish Download...Just Stuck!

I have downloaded Pearl Harbor and it has gotten to 1.52 of 1.76 GB's and it has just quit. It is still displayed, but the remaining time has gone away. I have checked for purchases, disable antivirus software, and even run the Windows Config. It's basically just stuck, what should I do? Please help!!

Look for a folder called "Downloads" in your iTunes Music folder. If there is such a folder, look for files that would be the partial download and delete those, so that the download starts over from the beginning. Then try again using the "Check for Purchases" command under the iTunes Store menu.
If that doesn't work, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of this web page and explain the problem to them.
Hope this helps.

HT1657 I can't get rented movies to ever finish downloading.

I have plenty of available space on my iPad mini and I have tried it on 5 different Internet connections. It just keeps starting over with download

How much space do you show. Often people are looking at iCloud space, which is the wrong space.

Itunes attemots to download a movie, it says it is processing, but it does not finish, it is now "processing" for days, what can I do to stop it?
