Rented movies on iTunes will not sync to AppleTV

When I try to transfer a rented movie to the AppleTv I get an error msg: "movie" was not copied to the Apple TV because it cannot be played on this Apple TV" All other files; music, pictures, TV shows, owned movies transfer without any problems?

Yes - when viewing the AppleTV in iTunes, I can the rented movie, click move, then Apply and it moves it back and gives me the error msg. I've had the ATV for ~2yrs... no issues until today?
just to confirm, is this a rental that was rented in itunes on your computer? or rented on the appletv?
reason i ask is that you said "when viewing the appletv in itunes".
rented movies made on the appletv cannot be moved anywhere. they are locked to the appletv.
only movies rented in itunes can be moved to other devices.
basic things to try first.
reboot the appletv
restart itunes PC/mac
make sure the appletv can access the internet.

  • Rented movies on iTunes will not play?

    I rented a move on iTunes and in the middle of the movie I paused it and when I preset play the movie was still not playing? I runing the latest version of iTunes.

    Do the movies move but not play? Or do they not move? If you can post more details, including your model of iPhone and the OS version it's running and the version of iTunes you have, perhaps someone here can help you sort out the problem.
    As to contacting the iTunes Store, you can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button). But they'll probably have you go through troubleshooting steps first, so you might want to do so here, which is often easier and more helpful, before you contact the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

    itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

  • ITunes will not sync my pictures or all of my apps.  Everything else syncs just fine when the box is checked.

    iTunes will not sync my pictures to my iPhone 4, nor will it sync all of my apps.  Only a portion of my applications sync to the phone, even though all are checked in iTunes.  I have never had this issue in the past with syncing any of my items to the phone.  Problem has been ongoing now for a little over a month. All video, music and movies have synced just fine. The latest 4.3.3 software has been installed, as well as the latest version of iTunes.  The phone has also been reset to the initial factory settings, completely wiping it out and starting over. This still did not fix the issue.

    I have the same problem since getting iTunes 9. However, I think mine has to do with the fact that the apps that won't sync were purchased with a different iTunes account. I have tried to sync with both accounts but they still don't get sync'd. They show on the iTunes screen, they are checked, and they show on the iPhone screen where they will be when sync'd but once I sync, they aren't on the phone but still show in iTunes as sync'd. If I go to the App Store on my phone (3G) and look at the app, it shows "installed" but aren't on the phone. I have tried using my MAC and a PC; I have tried everything to get them to show up but to no avail. Anyone out there can help??!?!?!?!?

  • Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

    Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

    iDevices can only be synched with one library.  However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file).  The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other.  When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine.  Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
    If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
    If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
    Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
    Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes.  When you see this prompt:
    select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
    For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

  • HT5868 I am always prompted to Trust this computer, but still my iTunes will not sync.  I have Windows 8 on my  laptop.  All of my photos transfer to the computer just fine, but the iTunes is not communicating between my phone and laptop.

    I am always prompted to Trust the Computer by my iPhone 4S, but still my iTunes will not sync.  I have Windows 8.  All of my pictures transfer to the computer when I plug my phone in, but not the iTunes. My playlists and purchased songs are not syncing either from the computer to the phone, or from the phone to the computer.  I have been working on this for days and have tried every suggestion in Help

  • Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv.

    Movies on itunes will not load or load very slowly and freeze on my apple tv. both the computer and apple tv are wired connections on my home network. Checked the network speed and it is between 0 and 1 ms response. This problem just started last week. Only new software introduced recently was update to Norton 360.
    Thanks

    I know very little about windows but security software is notorious for causing the type of problem you have, you may want to contact Symentec and ask them which settings you need to change.

  • Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.
