Rented a movie on iTunes (which I've been charged for) but...

....when I click on it it says 'The movie could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?' obviously i click yes, but it's not there. Any ideas?

I forgot to say, this was on my powerbook. When I click 'yes' - it redirects me to the downloads folder on my machine. The file is not there...or anywhere on my machine. I have done a file search for the file name and a spotlight search. nothing.

  • I rented a movie on itunes and synced it to my ipad but it says that could not load movie?

    I've rented a movie from iTunes on my computer which I synced to my iPad - or at least it appears to have moved over however when I hit the play button on the iPad it tells me that it 'could not load movie',  I'm not sure what to do next?

    If you rented and downloaded it directly on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it's not then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

    Hello, jaimie299. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If the movie rental has completely downloaded, this movie should be located in your movie library under rental.  Below, I have included a couple articles on how to check for interrupted downloads and movie rentals.  I have also included and article that will allow you to report a problem with your purchase if you are still unable to watch the movie.

    How many days can I view a movie if I rent on iTunes movies?

    You have 30 days to watch the movie, and once you begin watching, 24 hours to complete the movie.

  • I have rented a movie in ITunes, however it does not show up in the movies on my ATV, but purchased movies do. What's up?

    I have rented a movie through ITUNES, but it does not show up on my ATV movies menu as they have in the past in a category called rentals.  In fact that category isn't shown.  My purchased movies are showing up.  What's up?

    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • I rented a movie from iTunes and it is on my IPad.  I wanted to watch it on AppleTV and there is no airplay icon showing up on the movie

    I rented a movie from ITunes and it is on my IPad.  I wanted to watch it on Apple TV however there is no airplay ap showing up.  What should I do

    That won't be possible. You can only view a rental on the device used to do so, unless it is done via computer (in which case you can stream using home sharing)

  • HT201667 I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    I  rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device.  I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked.  I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

  • I rented a movie from iTunes and now it's not working

    I rented a movie from iTunes on my iPad and it started downloading.  For some reason it stopped.  The movie is showing up in the video app but when I hit play or the download cloud it tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it.  I go back to iTunes and the download section is gone.  I go back to the movie, where you can buy or rent, and it says watch....which if clicked on takes me back to videos.  And then it again tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it and to go to Downloads to manage my downloads.  THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD SECTION OR OPTION IN ITUNES....IT IS GONE!!  I have closed iTunes and restarted my iPad several times and am still having the same issue.  I have rented movies in the past with no issues.  I have NO IDEA what is going on and am very very frustrated.  Hopefully someone can help.
    Thanks!!

    I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
    Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

  • HT1390 I've attempted to rent a movie through iTunes 11.0.5

    I found the movie in the store (The Emperor (1080p HD)) and rented it thhrough my mini's (a 2.3 Ghz i5 w/ 16Gb Ram running Mac OS 10.8.4) iTunes app (version 11.0.5). I waited for the movie to download completely. I selected the "Rented" tab from my "Movies" Library and clicked on the movie icon (it had a strange appearance which was a generic light grey box with a fim frame in the middle). iTunes responded with: "This movie requires Quicktime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.). I admit I was dumbfounded for a moment since I associate Quicktime with Apple media more closely than iTunes. I went to the file via Finder, and looked at the extension: m4v and tried to open it with Quicktime. Quicktime responded: "This application cannot be used to play "Emperor (1080p HD).m4v" In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes."
    OK, I mumbled, I've seen nonsense like this before and it could be permissions based. My iTunes Library is on an external network drive because of its size. I'll copy the file to the local volume and see what happens. A few minutes later, the copy was complete. I added the file to my Library in iTunes, and this time the movie's icon image was correct. I launched to film. It opened and audio can be heard, but the video is absent. In its place is a field of alternating grey and white squares. I can watch any other video file at 1080p. The mini is connected via HDMI to a Yamaha AV receiver which outputs video to an Epson 5010 projector. Screenshots of the iTunes window appear the same when opened in Preview. I've changed the screen resolution from 1080p to 720 and 1080i and get the same result.
    This evening's experiment is over since the rental ends in 24 hours now that I've -listened- to the audio.
    Can anyone tell me why I had this experience and (outside of not renting another movie from iTunes) how I might successfully view an movie in the future?
    Thanks

    You are looking at the amount of storage that you have available on the actual iPad (Settings > General > About > Available) and not the amount that you have in the cloud (Settings > iCloud) ?
