Rented movies do not play in iTunes.

Its just a black screen and the time counter wont move. The rented movies play fine on my iPad, also purchased movies/tv-shows plays fine. This all happened after installing Lion. Someone with similar experiences? Or with any sollutions?

You did try tapping on one of them in that list in the iPod app! This has happened to me and I was able to start the movie from there. You could try restarting the iPad, go into the iPod app and try again.
Now I'm stumped unless it is a corrupt download. You did download right onto the iPad - correct? If you downloaded in iTunes, there is a Move tab or function that you have to select to transfer the movies to the iPad when you sync. They just don't sync over without selecting move.

    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.

  • Rented Movies do not play

    Rented movies do not play on my Windows7 computer. Neither can I transfer the movies to my iPod Touch.  I get the message that "movies have already been transferred to another device"  Any suggestions?

    What on Earth are you talking about? Both the Classic and the Touch play movies.

  • Digital Disney movies will not play in iTunes 12.1.1

    Digital Disney movies will not play when selecting play. I've used space bar, left and right laptop mouse button and enter. The other menu options have no issues. It's got to be only with the iTune extra when redeeming from Disney Blu-ray.

    Well, I uninstalled the iTunes software and reinstalled the software. The songs in question are still not recognized. When I had unstalled the iTunes software, I went into "Program Files" and to the "iTunes" folder. Nothing was in the folder except a plugin for Last.fm. I had not removed that. Upon reinstallation, I tried to play the songs again in iTunes and they still to not play (nor do they even load). Any idea as to what this may be?

  • HT1390 Rented movie will not play.

    I downloaded a movie I rented but my computer will not play it. I have the options of using VLC (default), MPlayerX and Quick Time 7. As it was downloading, it began to play and then stopped and wouldn't start again. I waited until the movie had totally finished downloading and tried to play it and I had no luck in seeing it begin. I've played more recently released movies before and had no trouble. This one was from the 1990s.  If it won't work, I'd like a refund.

  • TS1424 Rented movie will not load from iTunes

    I have been trying, without success, to watch a movie that I rented from iTunes. It will not load, loads after waiting for  ages and then plays 2-3 minutes and stops. I have a 50MB connection so download speed is not a factor.
    How do I contyact iTunes and request a refund?
    I have now bought the movie!!
    Thanks
    Stebe

    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.

  • Rented movie does not play

    Why does a rented movie not play?

    I had the same problems.
    There are two solutions...
    a) Logout from iStore at Apple TV, Restart Apple TV, Login again
    If this way won't work:
    b) Restore to factory setting helps.

  • RENTED MOVIES WIL NOT PLAY

    Last four movie rentals will not play. "An error occurred loading this content. try again later"

    Did you rent them at the same time, because that would not be advisable.
    What is your actual speed (speedtest.net)
    Check istumbler or netstumbler to see if there's interference

  • Rented movie will not play on ipad2, cannot transfer it to itunes to watch on mac.

    When I tried to rent the movie I quickly got a message about memory and now it only shows the "Stop" button on the movie, not the play button. My settings say I have 2.9G of memory free. There are no other applications running except for the Videos. I would like to watch the movie before it expires (7 hrs) but I cant even transfer it to my mac to watch.

    Rentals made directly on the iPad can't be transferred to a different device.
    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
