My rented movie stops playing after an hour

Im traveling through Europe and rented a movie August: Osage County, I've downloaded it to my iPad and have watched approximately an hour. Then it stops! Video couldn't be read or something like that! What? I've rented it and it expires in 48hrs but I can't watch the whole movie!?

Seems i´m not alone.

  • HT1657 Why does my rented movie stop playing randomly throughout the playback?

    Why does my rented movie stop throughout the viewing period? This is so irritating while trying to watch I have to keep pressing the play icon to get it to play at all! Anyone have any info on why this is happening on my IPAD2?

    Hi fiercestorm,
    It is possible that the video file of this movie has become corrupted. If it was purchased from iTune, and is still available in the iTunes Store for your region, you can delete it and download it again from the store. See this article -

  • Movie Stopped Playing after about half an hour

    Hi everyone!
    I recently burnt an iDVD movie that I had made in iMovie and then played it on my DVD player. Everything was working fine and I had skipped a couple of chapters... after watching for around half an hour the video and audio stopped playing... I also tried it on another DVD player, it did the same thing but straight away. Could it have been something wrong with the burning or is it the DVD or the DVD players? The DVD I used was a TDK DVD-R.
    Thanks

    Hi Jia,
    The media refers to your brand of discs. Try a different brand of discs. Verbatim is the most commonly recommended brand, although Sony, Panasonic and TDK have good success rates too, although sometimes even the highest recommended discs fail.
    Also, don't use iDVD to burn a disc. Go to the file menu in iDVD and save it as a disc image. Then you can use Toast or the disc utility to burn the disc image at a slow speed - 1x or 2x. The slower the speed, the better the burn.

  • HT204370 Rented movie stopped playing

    I was watching a rented movie thru Apple TV and it stopped playing with a message that Apple TV was not connected to the internet. I check everything and it is fine. How can I restart a partially watched rented movie? All I can find is the option to rent it again.

    Yes you'll get charged.
    If you're in US you have 30 days to START watching but once you do you have 24 hours to watch - too short IMO.
    In UK you have 48 hours to watch after choosing play.
    Poor experience regardless - raise a query ticket via itunes store support or through your itunes account pages.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

  • My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes on Apple TV 2. Is there any fix for this?

    My video playlists from iTunes stop playing after about 3 episodes. It just appears to buffer for no reason. I have checked to make sure that the hard drive that these movies are on does not go to sleep. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
    Firefox Menu > Customize
    On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

  • After Sept 2014 update Radio stops playing after 4 - 10 minutes.

    Apple TV 3rd generation, rev A.
    After Sept 2014 update Radio stops playing after 4 - 10 minutes. Before update, Apple TV played Radio without problems.
    Apple, please provide a reliable means to roll back to previous state.
    Please DO NOT release another update, as you will break something else.
    I'd rather have trouble free Radio streaming than "A fresh new look for Apple TV".
    Haha, just tried to select my product under the comment section, Apple TV 3 is not even listed, good one Apple!

    Same issues here. Since iOS 8 my Apple TV 3 powers itself down mid airplay, restarts itself, and once off has to be turned by on by it's actual remote. Once it randomly shuts down the Airplay option on all devices is removed and I have to find the remote and click any button to power it back up again. Then it can play for hours or ten minutes and it will just power itself right back off.
    Increasing the sleep timer to 30min from 15min seems to have helped space out the power downs some, but it still seems very random.

  • Stop playing after 1 minute

    iPod shuffle about 2 months old. Since a view days stops playing after 55 seconds. No indication on the LEDs. If you press Pause/Play green LED blinks for 1 minute. It seems all other functions are there but no audio output. iPod is in room temperature, no moisture. Battery is fully loaded, latest iTunes installed. Just every time stops playing after 55 seconds. After switching OFF / ON you can play exactly were it interrupted for 55 seconds again.
    Need help, thanks!

  • Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

    Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs.  Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring.  Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change.  Checked/emptied cache.

    There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
    What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
    try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
    try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

  • Apple TV - rented movie, stopped midway, now can't watch 2nd half.

    Apple TV - rented movie, stopped midway, now can't watch 2nd half.
    No option to "return to rented movie" - screen only says "go to Settings, find Downloads, then Download" or something similar.
    ***? I went to Settings and there is NO Downloads option. Anywhere!
    I think Apple is losing it. FIrst my iPhone 4S, which I was tricked into loading the new operating system which is HORRIBLE. Am now looking at moving back to Android. And now Apple TV seems screwed up. Jesus, is this the end?

    If you rent it on your Apple TV then that is the only place that you can watch it - from the HT1657 page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why it's like that I don't know, I don't think that Apple have said.

    When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
    If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
    now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...
