Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

Hello b noir.
Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
Apple representative did not know why this happened.
Thanks.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's ability to download emails or connect to the Internet?  I can power it off at when I restart I can send and receive but after awhile all I get is it trying to connect.

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's connection to download emails or go onto safari?  If I power down the phone and restart it then it will connect but shortly after it will loose the connection and then just shows connecting in email or in safari unable to connect to the Internet 

    I'm guessing it's more likely a problem with your carrier's 3G network in the area. You shouldn't have to modify any settings for 3G to work consistently on a supported carrier.
    You can try turning off 3G data, with will switch over to Edge if it exists. If it does, it will be much slower than 3G, but I suppose faster than 0 is better than 0.
    I'd contact your carrier about it.

  • Problems mounting CDs after downloading Itunes 10 when on the internet

    I'm new to both Macs and forums, so please bear with me if some of the terminology is wrong. Also, from the other posts I have looked at this seems to be a longstanding but unanswered issue, so feel free to direct me to other places if an answer is out there.
    Basically, since I bought my MacbookPro in May almost all of the time cds mounted automatically and it found the CD info on the internet. Sometimes it hadn't been doing it first time round, but it wasn't too great an issue. However, earlier today I downloaded Itunes 10. Now, cds won't mount when I'm connected to the internet. In fact Itunes has a kind of flickering attack as though it's struggling to read the cd. Trying to manually mount the CDs using Disk Utility also doesn't work in this case. But if I UNcheck the "automatically retrieve cd track names from the internet" it mounts.
    So, I can import cds but I don't have any of the information. Also, when I try to manually import the information ("Get track names) a message box pops up saying the information doesn't exist, which can't be the case on these widely available albums. I have tried various combinations of the suggestions mentioned (bar deleting and reinstalling software which I have no idea how to do) and nothing works.
    Finally then, my questions:
    1. Can I go back to the older version of Itunes that almost always worked? If so, how do i do so?
    2. If I was to import the cds first, is there a way of adding the track information later, given what I wrote above.
    So far my first few months using a Mac have been very pleasurable. However, this problem is quite frustrating at the halfway point of importing my cd collection to my Mac, so any answers would be really appreciated.

    Similar problems but not quite.
    Yesterday, I imported a few CDs no problem. Then I noticed that one of my albums on my iPhone had the tracks in the wrong order (a pain on a gapless album!) but it's OK on the iMac.
    I tried to re-import but iTunes crashes every time I click 'yes' to 'would you like iTunes to import...?'
    I noticed that although the disc is mounted in the finder, it's not in iTunes and neither does it go off to check gracenote.
    Anyway I fixed that issue with a reboot but the wrong track order still persists.
    Hey ho, just await the update I guess.

  • What does an ipad need in order to connect to the internet?

    I have an an wireless internet router at home from Verzon. Can my ipad connect to the internet using that or does it need something else? What is the wifi+3G data plan? I really don't get this wifi and wifi+3G thing. Can u explain it to me?

    Nope. You should be good. Any iPad can connect to almost any WiFi network.
    WiFi is the wireless network created by wireless routers or base stations.
    All iPads support wifi.
    3G is the ability to get internet over cell towers. Like a cell phone, only data.
    The 3G data plan allows you to get data from the provider, in the US it's ATT and Verizon.

  • I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

    I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly.  The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly.  How do I get the router to work properly

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • Movie will not play after download

    I purchased a movie from iTunes and after the download it will not play on my iPad

    Try this stuff first.
    Quit the Videos App by double tapping the home button to bring up the multitasking/recents tray at the bottom, hold down on any of the app icons in the tray until all the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the corner to quit the videos app. Tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.Tap the screen to return to the home screen.
    Next - Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, try to play the movie again
    If that doesn't work - Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button while holding down on the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - and let go of the buttons. Launch the videos app and see what happens.

  • Rented movie won't play after 8 minutes in.

    I rented a movie on my iTouch yesterday, then when I played it it stopped at 8 minutes 42 seconds and wouldn't play anything after that. I was determined to watch the movie so I rented and downloaded it again, it did the same thing. So today I synced my iTouch to my computer, updated it, tried the movies with the same problem, and rented the movie AGAIN via my computer. The movie did the same thing AGAIN! I'm soo frustrated! If anyone can help please do!!! I'd like to add that I rented a different movie and watched it the day before and it was fine, so I don't know what's going on with this movie!!

    So for anyone who happens upon this...
    I've noted that the beach ball clears if I wait for 1 hour.
    I've also noted that it is much faster to rename the movie files themselves in the finder, the next time I play the movie in iTunes the name changes.
    I've noticed several other messages about the spinning beachball of death. In case anyone is wondering don't force quit iTunes least you corrupt the file.

  • Movies won't play after downloading 2.0 software?

    Yesterday I figured out that apps i purchased weren't working because I hadn't had the most recent software, so I downloaded 2.0. Before doing this, I had purchased a movie from itunes on my PC, which worked perfectly until i tried it for the first time after having the update. Every time I try to play the movie on my ipod touch (1st gen), a pop up comes up that says "This movie could not be played." Help Please?

  • HD Movie won't play after downloading. When hit play, this pops up: "This movie cannot be played on this computer"

    I have a Macbook Pro 13inch with retina display with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, with a 250 GB storage capacity, which 30 GB is still available. Its OS X 10.9.4 version.
    I recently purchased Divergent in HD in the Itunes store. I downloaded it, but when I hit play, a message appears that says "This cannot be played on this computer." I have authorized my computer so that is not the issue. Any thoughts?

    You might want to try it again.  It started working for me about 10 minutes ago (~8pm CST).
    This was happening for rentals and purchases.

    It's also really slow. And the mouse key on my screen sometimes doesn't switch back to normal.

  • HT4314 Is there a system-wide issue with the Game Center.  I cannot get past the spinning dots/loading part, my game says I'm not signed in, and I am connected to the Internet.

    I have been using the Game Center to track my wins for some time (months).  Suddenly, my game tells me I'm not signed in and I cannot get the Game Center to open.

    I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on  my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
    When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.
