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?

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.

Could not play rented movie.... because it is authorized to play on another

"Could not play rented movie.... because it is authorized to play on another Computer or device"
Any ideas what that might mean? I was asked to authorize my computer which I did then I got this message... i'm on my last 2 days of the 30 day period...
Thanks

No one have any idea what I can do??
Is there any way to get a refund?
I downloaded a few rentals about 27 days ago.... they're set to expire tomorrow and wanted to watch them... but for some reason I have the above problem. It's the computer I used to download them from....
Is there anyway to contact apple or any solutions? thanks

Can't play rented movies. They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch. But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."

Can't play rented movies. They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch. But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK. The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date. I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Anyone has similar experience?

I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

HT1657 Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

The answer appears to be "maybe". Once the rental has completely downloaded it shouldn't need an Internet connection from then on, but I've seen reports here from people who tried the play the rental and has it insist on an Internet connection. I've never been able to spot any common factor between such reports to form an opinion as to why this happens, though it's possible that the movie hadn't really completely downloaded. But I'd advise not presuming that an Internet connection won't be necessary.
Someone else here may have better insight into the issue.
Regards.

Error message while trying to play rented moves on Apple TV

I keep getting an error message while trying to play my rented movies. I have rebooted the Apple TV. Lowered the resolution. Restated my modem . Rest my Apple TV. Soft rebooted it and it plays all Netflix and previews in HD no problem just not the movies I have rented !! Extremely frustrated regretting my purchase extremely!! About ready to boycott!

I have been able to open a few items in iTunes, but have not been able to play even those videos from my Apple TV. I can airplay them from the computer, but cannot access them directly from Apple TV. This is a bit frustrating.

Can't play rented movie

I tried to move my rented movie back to my computer. Near the end of the sync, it could not complete because an unknown error. Can still see on my ipod touch but can't play because it now states invalid. What should I do? I still would like to watch my movie.

Did you get an answer to this issue? I have the exact same problem ... can't play movie on my Ipod touch ... says "INVALID" .. and "movie could not be played" ... if you received an answer, please let me know ... am interested to hear about that ...
... thanks!

Playing rented movies without an Internet connection?

I'm in the middle of moving, and won't have cable or Internet service until sometime next week. I'm wondering if I could take my AppleTV to the office, hook it up to the net, rent some movies, and then play those movies at home over the weekend? In short, do I need an Internet connection to authorize the playback of movies that are already on the device?

i believe internet access is required to authorise the playback of rented movies.

Error playing rented movie

Having finally decided to try renting a movie with iTunes, I'm afraid the experience is not a good one.
When attempting to play the movie, I get the following error message:
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-42110). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try later."
Is this a common problem? It seems persistent at the moment.
I'm using iTunes 10.7 on OSX 10.8.2.
