Rented movie stopped half way through,"Accessing itunes store" with revolving loader symbol

FIrst nite with ATV2, it suddenly stopped working, didnt recognize my password, and ultimately i had to change my password. Then went to bed and tried again this morning. It worked.
Second nite with ATV2, we rented a movie. 2/3 of way through movie, the loading circle appeared. cannot access the movie, though it recognizes that we have 22 hrs left on the movie. cannot access other itunes content.
--turned ATV off and back on--didnt work
--checked network--no problems
--reset ATV2--still cannot see anything but loading circle.
Tried to see a tv show we'd watched earlier today. "accessing itunes store" with the loading circle appeared.
HELP?
I have spent more hours trying to make the device work than enjoying it.
Thinking that I want to return this product. it works like a PC device.
If you dont know how to fix it, can you tell me,
HOW do i return it?

are you guys watching TV late at night. I've noticed that the shows stop working at around 11 to 11.30 pm pacific time. I suppose that iTunes updates their catalogue to include the latest shows that are new and cleared for sale after the night's TV schedule. I think it's poor iTunes judgement to do that. Most people watch TV at night. They should update their catalogue some time in the morning hours.
I usually just unplug my apple TV, restart and then wait for a while to make it work.
If you guys get stuck because you put the show on pause then the remedy is to turn the screen saver off. Switch it to never because then when you pause and iTunes server goes out you don't have to re-authorize the show to continue watching it. That's if you purchased and the show was sownloaded to your apple TV

Rented movie freezes half-way through?

This has happened to me several times. A rented movie will pause about half-way through playing and then refuse to play any more. I ignored the problem before, but am working on a movie review for school and really need to get this fixed! There is no error message, the movie simply freezes and will not progress past a certain point.

Rented Movie Freezes Half Way Through It

I had to rent a movie twice because I didn't finish it within the first 24 hours (which is completely stupid by the way) - I tend to rent movies to watch them on the plane and can't finish it so I have to rent them twice if I want to finish it. Anyway, the second time I rented it, the video froze about halfway through the movie. The audio kept going, but the video was stuck on one frame. The only thing that I think could have happened was that wifi probably dropped while downloading and 3G picked it back up. Since I downloaded it at a hotel with free wifi, they make you log back in every day in order to use their wifi again, so that's why I'm guessing this is what happened. How can I ask for a refund on this second rental? Also...how can I tell apple to test this and fix it? or does posting this on this forum do the trick?

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Track purchased from iTunes stops half way through & Jumps to the next track on both computer & iPod

Purchased album from iTunes. One track stops half way through & jumps to the next track on both computer & iPod.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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.

My ipod stops half way through step 1 when I am syncing

I[od touch stops half way through step q which i backing up

I would try moving the existing backup to a safe place since there may be some corruption that is causing the problem. The backup file is located hre:
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7).

Audio stops half-way through clip

Audio on movie clips stops half-
way through. This isn't downloaded music, but rather the background audio of the clips. Any suggestion
s?

The footage appears the same from the Sony.
The full audio plays in the Organizer and from the clip in the project panel. The waveform shows for the entire length of the clip in the timeline.
I didn't see the blue progress bar you spoke about, but the program just went through the process of importing the clips and then the organizer opened.
Thanks.

Songs and Videos Stopping Half Way Through

I've had my Iphone for 8 months and last week it broke i sent it to apple and they gave me a brand new iphone.
I syned it up and my songs and videos stop half way through and start the next song..
It did that on my old iphone also..
It's very annoying.
Same with sometimes glitchy music videos that i've bought through itunes so I know it isnt codec related..

Welcome to the forums.
You can fix the songs by simply converting to AAC -- I promise you this will work.
Videos could indeed be a coding issue -- the iPhone is pretty particular about what it will play and unless you encoded them yourself (using a quality program like Handbrake with the iPhone preset) your best bet is to reencode them.

HT1551 trouble accessing itunes store with apple tv

I have trouble accessing itunes store with apple tv. Can anyone help me?

i have same issue. netflix is fine. Itunes on an appletv is slow and then times out.. cant connect to server. Is the server, or a pipe, just overloaded?

I hired a movie and half way through it stopped loading so i exited the movie and it vanished, when i clicked on the movie again it asked if i wanted to rent it???

i rented a movie from the apple store off my apple TV half way through the movie it stopped like it was waiting for it start loading. i then exited the movie and went to click on it again but found that the movie was no longer there and when i clicked on the same movie it asked it i wanted to rent it, which i had just done. i would just like to know what happened here and how to fix this?

This has happened to me 3 consecutive times!!
3 movies. 3 mysterious stopages in mid movie with no fix.
If only they solved their own problems as quickly as the scoffed your money!
I have no idea how to report it.
Apple only wants to communicate with you when you want to purchase products but makes it brutaly painfull to solve problems.
They have become a pathetic, gready symbol of sloppy excess.
They WIIL fail because they forgot how deliver their products.
I was a lifelong apple user and that is over for good!
I've been ripped off by them for the last time!
There's too much competant competition out there now.

Apple TV stopping half way through movie. Got the "spinning wheel" then it said "unexpected error occurred". I can go back

Issue with Apple TV stopping have way through a movie purchased from iTunes. Says "unexpected error occurred" and will allow us to go back and view earlier parts of the movie but not to go forward from this point. Any suggestions?

Having a very similar problem here. Apple TV Rental movie 2/3 way through. Great movie, though we had major download speed probs initially. Trouble is it now keeps on saying "unexpected error, try again later" or somesuch, and has done for several hours. Rental period finishes tomorrow when we'll all be at work. Night-time here in Australia. Thought we might be able to finish it on my Mac at least. Nup. Can't play AppleTV rentals on your Mac! Family not happy! No, that is understating it. Family ^*&^ing furious. "Why did you waste money on that thing when we could have got it out on DVD, or Netflicks, or Easyflicks, or just pirated it, or.....". I guess you get the picture!
