  • HT1498 I rented a movie on Apple TV............ whenever we try to watch it, we get 'Error downloading this content, try again later'......

    We have had this same message for the last week.
    We can watch other movies, listen to music without an issue........... we just cannot watch this rented movie.
    Can we get a refund, or have the issue sorted?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    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.
    At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
    If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

  • How do I request a refund for a movie after receiving the "An error occurred loading this content. try again later." error?

    I watched the first 11 minutes of a movie, paused and then when I tried to play again recieved the error - An error occurred loading this content. try again later.  No amount of retrying later fixed the problem.  I will not be able to finish watching the movie within the required 24hour window so would like to request a refund.  Can anyone provide any guidance on how I go about that?  Thanks.

  • Get error when trying to upgrade to IOS5 - An error occured while trying to Back up ipad  -402653138

    Help
    I am trying to upgrade to IOS5 and i cant get past the backup step of the upgrade - I keep getting An error occured while trying to Back up ipad  (-402653138).  I have tried removing my current backup and letting the update do the backup but still get same message.
    I also get a warning right when I start the upgrade process that says I have purchased apps that have not been transfered and wants to know if I want to continue???  Not sure why I get this warning - I have ran the transfer purchases option several times and it seems to work.  However, if I go under store and look at the purchases for my ipad it dosnt show any???  I would assume it should? 
    I have tried syncing and backing up, rebooting, all latest versions of itunes, etc. 
    Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Erik

    I took a leap of faith and finally got the update with no issues.  Here's what I did:
    First did yet another backup.  Next, disabled all anti-virus and anything related (running Norton 360).  Next, turned off Home Sharing.
    Instead of "Update" I selected "Restore".  Followed prompts as though I wanted to restore and update. Selected my latest backup and off it went.  First did the wipe, then ios5 update, then restarted and began to sync.  Sync took about 2 hours as I have lots of apps, photos and some TV shows I forgot were on there. 
    In the end, I had the exact same configuration.  All apps on their pages as before the update, all folders intact and even all game scores and data from apps.  Hurray!
    Now just going through the App update process of the many (85) that showed up in App Store icon.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT3180 Anyone having trouble with Netflix not showing up in the internet menu?  I am trying to do a reset, but it says it can't download latest updates try again later.

    Anyone having trouble with Netflix not showing up on the Internet Menu?  I have tried to do a reset and then restore, but it says that "the latest update download cannot be done at this time, try again later"

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Why do I get: "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again."

    Hi, I get this error: "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again." when trying to reply to a post. Just started today. How can I resolve this?

    There are certain words and phrases which are banned because of spammers: if you inadvertently include one of these you usually get the message that you have included content which is not allowed.
    I've had the 'an error occurred' message several times; in each case I've copied the post, clicked the 'Cancel' button, waited a few seconds than then replied again, pasting in the text, and it's worked. It appears to be juste a server glitch.

  • An error occurred while trying to access the audit log

    Hi I have run Set-Mailbox ian.shapton -AuditOwner Update, Move, MoveToDeletedItems, SoftDelete, HardDelete

    Hi,
    I have the same problem when I run the Search-MailboxAuditLog command.  It has been working for 2 weeks but suddenly after moving databases from one datacenter to another and back again it stopped working.  The account running the command
    is in all necessary roles needed.
    This is what I have tested after it stopped working:
    - Search-MailboxAuditLog -Identity "xxxxxxx" -LogonTypes Delegate -StartDate (Get-Date).Adddays(-1) = Works
    - Search-MailboxAuditLog -Identity "xxxxxxx" -LogonTypes Delegate -StartDate (Get-Date).Adddays(-1) -showdetails = does not work and comes with an error.
    "The Exchange Web Service returned an error while trying to access the audit log. Reason: 'Error','ErrorTimeoutExpired',
    'The search operation could not be completed within the allotted time limit. 
    Please try to narrow down your scope to reduce the result set.'."
    This is very bad for us because we use a lot of shared mailboxes with delegates and want to report delegate action on these mailboxes.
    Environment:
    - 3 datacenters
    - Exchange 2013 CU7

  • An error occurred while trying to connect to a Web service, when InfoPath web enabled form loads.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am getting an error message: An error occurred while trying to connect to a web service, when my InfoPath form tries to load.  The last few days, it only spits this error message in the morning and around 12pm-1pm it resolves itself and the form loads
    fine the rest of the day, oddly enough. 
    A few things about my form:
    1). It is web enabled
    2). The form submits to a form library on the SP server
    3). I use the UserProfileService data connection in the form to auto-populate a few fields
    4). I use a udcx file with correct language stored in the root of the site collection in the data connection library
    5). The form has been working fine until a few days ago
    I noticed while in Central Administration, that the User Profile Service Synchronization is Stopped.  Not sure if this is causing some or all of the problem. If I need to start it I will need to contact my farm administrator to do this, since I do not
    have the service account information.
    Also, I looked thru the log files on the SharePoint server and found the following by searching for the Correlation ID shown when the error comes up, I won't put in everything just the important messages.
    Schema file was already loaded: BuiltInActiveXControls.xsd
    FormServer Partial Trust - Proxy operation invoked in the SHIM process.
    FormServer Partial Trust - Invoking proxy operation for Web service adapter failed with exception Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. for Url=https://<SP URL>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx
    Data adapter failed during OnLoad: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server. For more information, contact the server farm administrator.
    The following query failed: GetUserProfileByName (User: , Form Name: Expense Report, IP: , Connection Target: <SP URL>/Data Connections/GetUserProfileByName.udcx, Request: , Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:Expense-Report:-myXSD-2014-04-11T21-06-32
    Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server.

    Hi B.,
    You are on the right track. I recommend that you first get the User Profile Synchronization Service started because that itself could be the root cause of the issue.
    If that doesn't fix it then focus your attention on the GetUserprofileByName data connection. I always use my secure store ID for this connection. I add the ID by editing the udcx file and then publishing it again.
    Hope this helps.

  • An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point"

    Hi,
    I've been using wireless access for a year and never had a problem connecting.
    But starting yesterday I get a +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    I have 2 Mac's and have no problem connecting with the other one. It’s just the IMac.
    I tried everything including resetting router, changing password, adding a $ to the password, accessing without password, deleting the whole air port and create a new one, but still getting the same message.
    I might need to add, while I was working with the IMac I didn’t use wireless for a few hours, but when I got back to my browser I noticed that I was connected to a different wireless service. (FONFREEINTERNET if it matters) I have no idea why, since I didn’t change it.
    Anyways, I tried to switch back to my access point, but it wouldn’t let me. It’ll just give me the +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    Funny is when I use the FONFREEINTERNET access point the internet seems to work fine.
    I could look up Google without a problem, but when I tried to connect to Facebook for example it won’t let me. Instead a FONFREEINTERNET page will pop up with some options on how to pay! (by minute/or day/or week…)
    I get the strange feeling that they planted some kind of bug/virus!!!
    I don’t know what else to do.
    Anyone knows that problem? What can I do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    I researched on FONFREEINTERNET, there’s a spot close to my house/guess that’s the one I used…
    http://maps.fon.com/ ZIP CODE 904-0113 and you’ll see a coffee pod, which is about 2 minutes walk from my house.

    Hello Tesserax,
    I get the same error message again...
    I tried the 3 suggested steps again, but unfortunately it did not work.
    After a Restart, Sleep or just the awaking from Screensaver mode I’m disconnected from my wireless Network anymore.
    Even if the Computer was asleep for just a second!
    I am able to fix the problem temporarily with Network Preferences → Assist me → Diagnostics
    Choose Airport → Choose network → Enter Password (Even if I check safe password it’ll ask me every time) → and than usually all lights on the left menu switch from red to green and I get the popup message “A Network Change has been detected. Your Internet seems to work fine.” (similar - I’m at work and don’t remember exactly)
    And it works fine…until the screensaver comes on or it sleeps again
    I have the Problem with my IMac and Mini but the IMac at least remembers my password…
    Any Ideas
    I’m connected through a Buffalo WZR2-G300N wireless router
