Rented Movie disappeared before 24 hrs

I rented American Gangster 2 days ago and started play at approx. 5:15 P.M. eastern time. Yesterday I went to resume play at 3:00 P.M. and the movie was gone from "rented movies"
Today at 7:45 A.M. I went into movies on my TV and it was downloading again. Does anyone know if there were any global glitches yesterday in the iTunes store? I did not rent this movie again and was going to contact the iTunes store to look into a credit, but lo and behold the movie is back, apparently giving me a new 24 hour window.
Any similar experiences?
Thank you.

You will need to try contacting iTunes support and explain and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Rented movie disappeared

My rented movie disappeared from my ipad before watching, and now I cannot find it in iTunes either? Can anyone help?

I have had this problem but this is how I sorted it out: on your computer search the name of the film you have rented. When you see it, double click it and it should appear back in your iTunes library.

Rented movies disappear off iPad before rental period ends

Hi
2 of my rented movies (which had over 10 days left in the viewing period) randomly disappeared from the Videos app. I could see the movie covers in the Videos app, and then the app died. When I restarted the app, the "rental" tab was no longer visible. I cant seem to find the movies even if I connect the iPad back to my MacBook/iTunes
Any similar experiences/suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
According to the iTunes Help viewer...
"A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically"
If you had started then stopped the movie(s), then it's possible the rental time expired.

Rented movie disappeared in hours?

iTunes 12.0.1.26 OS 10.1 Macbook Pro retina late 2013
Just a few hours ago local time, I rented the SD version of Anchorman (£2.49p). It started to download, then a window said it was ready to play (before total download was completed).
I started watching until it stopped playing after about 20 mins. I assumed this was because of the incomplete download so I put it away.
3 hours later I decided to watch the rest but it has gone, unlisted in the 'Rented movies' section.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Graham

Rented Movies disappear Apple TV 6.0

I just updated my Apple TV to the version 6 software but when I went to watch one of the 2 movies I had previously rented, they have disappeared. Rented movies used to be displayed on the top row of the screen, preceding the "Top Movies" listings when one has the "Movies" tile selected on the lower portion of the screen. But neither of my rented movies is there. I tried renting another movie to see if this disappearance was a problem with my account, but after renting (and selecting the "Rent now, Watch Later" option on the screen, but that movie is not showing up where the rented movies used to be, either. It shows up as "rented" in my iTunes account on my computer when I view recent purchase, but I can't find it anywhere on the Apple TV.
Anyone else find where they hide the rented movies?

Having the same issue here. Signing out of iTunes on the Apple TV didn't seem to correct it. Any other suggestions?

Rented movie disappeared without watching it within 2 days of downloading

I downloaded movies to watch on vacation. All the movies are gone never watched them

Before we can answer, are you talking about iTunes? Or some other store?
If it's non-iTunes, contact the provider. Nothing we can do about it here.
If you rented it on iTunes, did you get an email confirming that? Did you begin to watch the rental? If so, you only get 24 hours in the USA to finish it (and 48 hours outside of USA).
Here are the rules:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657
If you didn't, and you have the email receipt from Apple, there's a link under every purchase that says "Report a Problem." Click on that, and explain what happened. They can tell if you started the movie, so don't expect a positive resolution if you started it.

Downloaded movies disappearing before they are watched and in less that the 30 days to watch them

We have downlaoded movies on Apple TV. They take over two to three hours to download even though we have the fasted wireless router you can buy (bought only 2 months ago) and then after they have been downloaded it is usually a day or two later that we have time to watch them and when we go to view them they are no longer in the available list of movies to watch. So we have been charged for them but never got to see them.

I checked the speeds (coudl not get "speediest.net" but found speedtest.net) adn the speeds were
Download 23.05 Mbps
Upload - 2.43 Mbps
Not sure if that is fast enough but the cable service we have they have rated the service we have as the fastest the provide.
Re the 1 or 2 seconds having been viewed and therefore the "clock" starting on the 48 hours - not sure as all we have ever done is click on "rent" and then it starts to down load and it shows that it will be taking forever to download so we leave it to download. Given it does nto download at the time we "rent it" we ahve to come back to view it another day. We have seen the movie we have rented at the top of the screen the next day or so (have not actuially validated the time from when it was downloaded to see if maybe the point above applies even thought we do not think we are watching it) adn then when we have time to watch it we go back a few days later (this last time was 7 days) and it is gone.
