Purchased and Rented movies not playing

recently any movies that i have downloded form itunes store or movies that i have previously downloaded haven't been playing back.
when i go to choose a movie itunes can see my movies are there but when i play them it comes up with a blank screen ( no audio or visual) and the timer counts down as if the movie is playing. This also happends with movie clips/video clips i steam from the store.
i have removed, repaird and reinstalled itunes 64bit about 6 times, downloaded quicktime and reinstalled it twice. Updated my drivers and made sure everything else was up to date, even did a system restore and still no luck.
i am running windows 8 pro 64bit but this problem has only happend with in the last 2 weeks and i have been running win8 since the start of the year.
please help

I assume you mean, "I can't view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV"
The white screen indicates an authorisation issue, try restarting your tv and if that is unsuccessful, try de/re-authorising your itms account.

Purchased and rented movies not showing upon Apple TV

I can view either my purchased or rented movies on Apple TV. The only thing that shows up on the screen is a large white screen. Any ideas or suggestions?

Rented movie not playing. I have 81Mbps Internet and can stream anything else HD. it's not WiFi either because signal strength is full and I can view anything other than rented movies on apple TV unit. it charges me for renting but doesn't play

Rented "Gone Girl" on apple tv. It charges me, but will not play for more than 4 seconds at a time. I have exercised every step of apple's troubleshooting and nothing fixes the problem. I have a very strong, steady 81 Mbps Internet connection speed and can stream any other HD through the apple tv except for this rented movie. This is not the first time this has happened either. I just gave apple $6 for free and am currently watching the movie streaming through my cable provider's on demand channel with ease. Oh yeah, and when I seek apple support for the issue, apple wants $2 just to contact someone! Give me my money back please and I will never attempt to use your poor tv service again.

The limitation of approximately 200 titles has been discussed before, we can't be sure whether it will be something that gets fixed or not. I'm not really sure what your other issues are, if I use search instead of lists, I find whatever I want and am able to rent or purchase subject to those options being available for that particular title.

Rented movie not playing

my rented movie won't play on iTunes on my computer. I have a Windows PC

yeah it did. I click on it and it opens; but it stays on 0:00 even if it says it's playing. It also won't sync with my Ipod - itunes says it's on my iPod but its actually not....

Rented movies not playing

I loaded rented movies (from iTunes) to my iPad2. But when I try to play, a pop up advises that it cannot open the film. This is happening with each movie loaded. Can someone advise what I might be doing wrong?

I suspect it worked when offline because you had a connection when you started the movie.
Like you, I'm pretty certain I've started a rented/downloaded iTunes movie without a connection but many have reported they could not. A Google search will show that some have and some haven't... I have no idea at this point.

TS3623 Why does a rented movie not play, error message says, your apple tv is not authorized to play this content?

Why do I get an error message after renting a movie on apple tv, " this tv is not able to play this move"

I may have answered my own question. After some more research, it seems that the videos that won't play have a FairPlay value associated with them and they were all purchased prior to June 2009. Now I just need to figure out how to get around this.

Why is my itunes downloaded (rented) movie not playing correctly? It keeps freezing

I rented a movie through iTunes and am trying to watch it right now and it keeps freezing or playing the sound but not the picture...it's very frustrating and iTunes only gives you 24 hours once you play the movie to watch it before it is gone and I'd really like to watch it and not loose my money. Does iTunes have a better support system that allows me to talk to an actually Apple Tech??

I am having the same problem - it has happened to me twice now on different movies. The video player completely freezes and is useless until the movie that was playing expires the following day. Apple gave my a credit in iTunes, but I would like to be able to watch a movie all the way thorugh, not get another free movie that I can only watch for 10 minutes...

Apple TV - Purchasing and renting movies / videos in Austria

I want to buy an Apple TV in the next days, but today I saw, that it is not possible in my region (Austria) to rent or buy movies in iTunes yet. So I'm afraid it would make no sense to buy the Apple TV. Does anybody know, until when movies will be available in Austria's iTunes Store - i hope quite soon?!?
Thanks, Thomas.

Unfortunately no-one here can answer that question, we are all users like yourself. Apple are unlikely to give out details of future events or improvements, so I'm afraid you can only wait and see.

TS4223 how do i sync from i tunes account for purchased and rented movies on to my ipad

How do i sync from my itunes account to my ipad for rented and movies i have purchased

Yes you can do that. The problem comes from the fact that you both used the same Apple ID to purchase or download Apps. Purchased apps are associated with the Apple ID used to purchase them.
I would just go ahead and back up all info on the old iPad to your computer. Then restore and erase the old iPad and set it up as new. Get a separate Apple ID for your wife and enter only her email settings. She might have to repurchase those non free apps that she might want but to me this is a small price to pay.

I have rented a movie yesturday and it will not play. There is 3 hours left to watch it and Im feeling like i just wasted five dollars on something i wont be able to see.

i rented the movie Wraith of the Titans and it will not play. I very dissapointed that i wasted my money on something I cant watch. There is 3 hours left to watch and it still wont play. This is the last time i rent a movie, or buy one for that matter, from itunes.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

HT1657 I have rented a movie 8hours ago, and it will NOT play. The system also charged me twice, for the same movie! How can you help me please?

For the film not playing, you can use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
Not sure whether you can request a refund for the double charge via the same link, if not then you can contact iTunes support here : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

When I try to play an itunes purchased movie it says I have to authorize this computer. When I put in my log in information it says this computer is already authorized and will still not play the move. I have tried to deauthorize and reauthorize this computer, delete and reinstall itunes and Quicktime and nothing works; the purchased movies still will not play

I'm having the same problem on my new iMac. First it tells me it's not authorized to play the songs, then when I enter my password, it tells me it's already authorized, but still won't play them. I tried deleting a song and going to the store to redownload it and got charged for it! I've got hundreds of songs, so that's not going to be an option.
In addition, I have quite a few songs from a very old Apple ID, one I forgot I even had, I have no idea what the password was and no way to have the system send me a new password because I no longer have access to that email account.
The Mac I just "retired" could play all the songs in my catalog just fine. This new one won't play the majority of them.
Help!

I downloaded two movies for rental and they will not play, i downloaded two movies for rental and they will not play

i downloaded rented movies and they will not play, it says that they are on another device.

Are the files still physically on the hard drive?
You can verify that in the Download Manager window via the right-click context menu.

If Open Containing Folder and Open are grayed then the files were removed and are no longer present in the original download location.

Purchased itunes movies not playing in completion on iphone

I have a purchased movie from itunes and it will not play from start to end without being interrupted and defaulting back to the the video screen.
Apple support had me to this
1. Turn off iphone completlely and reboot. Load up movie, which failed to run properly.
next tried...
2. Remove movie from itunes and reload and resync. Failed again to work properly.
3. The apple supports next suggestion is to find someone that has an iphone and get them to load up a movie from my computer. This I have not done.
I just do not understand why this movie plays fine in itunes but crashes on the iphone.

correct me if i am wrong, but you do not get that option to convert movie to ipod/iphone, just to acc that i recall.
