Rented video stops, then gone from iTunes

Hi,
I was renting a movie today and watching it while it downloaded, when suddenly iTunes froze up. After about 3-4 minutes of waiting I decided to force close iTunes. When I restart it, the movie is gone (although I rented it less than an hour ago it is nowhere to be found in my iTunes now).
How can I find it so I can watch the remainder of the film?
Best regards,
Paul W:

If it's not showing the Movies / Films part of your iTunes library (when you have rentals you should get a Rentals tab there), and you've tried dragging and dropping the film from the media folder (it's the film that you've found there, or was it the .tmp file that you found ?) into your Mac's iTunes or tried File > Add To Library to add it, then it's probably a case of trying the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

thanks. somehow after restoring it, ipod on my phone had another option to download them onto my phone (even though they would play so no idea) but then it allowed me to swipe the songs to delete them so they are finally gone from my phone!!!

They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine"

When playing a video I have downloaded from iTunes I get the message "This Movie Cannot be played on this machine". The weird thing is that I downloaded the film from iTunes and while it was downloading I was watching it with my kids on my IMac. Once it had finished downloading I went with them to the living room Tao carry on watching on our apple tv. The apple TV wouldn't play it and said I needed to authorise my Pc, then the IMac gave the message above and I haven't been able to play it since. All my other downloaded films play. I am running iTunes version 10.2.2. And my iMac is Running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.7. Anyone who can shed some light on this weird situation will have my upmost thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem. Been trying to find some answers, but not a lot of info about this. It seems to happen only when:
- itunes library is stored remote (NAS or external HD)
- starting a movie/show before download has finished will make it fail next time you try to start
Hope this gets fixed soon.. it's making purchasing content via itunes a hassle

Have you checked to see if the media files are still on the computer? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

When I did the upgrade it resulted in a factory reset. Now all of my ringtones are gone from iTunes. Anyone have a solution?

When I did the upgrade it resulted in me having to do a factory reset because it was pausing for long periods of time. It went through the backup and all other steps but now all of my ringtones are gone from iTunes, thus the phone. I tried to redownload one I had purchased and it made me purchase it again (I did this as a test), and it said I had purchased it before but still required me to purchase again.
Anyone have a solution/thoughts/help?

Command + Z undoes the last action you did, did you just move those files into that folder?
Use Spotlight to search for the files, or look for them in their original location(s).

My podcast appears to have gone from iTunes

My podcast was working fine for the last 12 months. Yesterday I was contacted by a friend to ask where it's gone from iTunes. I can't find it anywhere now. Here are the URLs:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/swfuk-podcast/id886088578?mt=2
http://swfukpodcast.podbean.com/
I have checked with an RSS feed validator which suggest all is fine. All help very much appreciated

In fact your feed is at http://swfukpodcast.podbean.com/feed/
Your podcast does appear to have been removed from the Store: when this happens an email is sent, so it may havew gone missing or been spam-trapped. It's difficult to see what could cause removal - the only thing which occurred to me is that they might have taken exception to the opening music on copyright grounds: it sounds as if you made it yourself - at any rate it's apparently computer generated, not the soundtrack, but of course the music itself is copyright and shouldn't have been used without clearance. I'm assuming that, since the 'explicit' tags are 'clean' that there is no strong or sexual language in the episodes.
It's often difficult to get a response on this subject from the Store staff, but the address to contact them on is podcasts 'at' apple.com - 'getsupport' is unlikely to help since they are geared to the actual application rather than podcast contents.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I downlaoded the latest iTunes version and now my Podcasts are gone from iTunes on my computer. Where can I access them on iTunes on my computer?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now my Podcasts are gone from iTunes (on my computer). Can I still access Podcasts in iTunes (on my computer) ? (I see the latest Podcasts downloading, but can't find them in iTunes. What am I overlooking?)

Could be since it (security software) is listed as #5 in the following:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I rented and downloaded two movies from iTunes via my iPad. They show up as purchased in items but won't play. They do not show up in iPad visor app at all. Any ideas on what happened and how to fix are welcome. Thanks

I rented two movies from iTunes using my iPad. They show us as purchased but will not run from there. I get a message saying I have 24hours to watch then it just goes back to iTunes. I looked in video app where they usually go and nothing is there. Any ideas for a fix are welcome?
Thanks

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.

Problems renting movies on iPad 2 from iTunes.

I have had problems twice lately renting movies from iTunes. The first time, the download got hung up and then gave me an error. I never could get it to finish. Support helped me remove and then suggested I download on my laptop and then sync to my iPad. It worked, but that isn't a fix to the problem. It is a work around. One of the reasons I got it was to rent movies when I travel and I don't want to take my laptop to do that.
Today, I had my second problem. I rented a movie and downloaded directly to my iPad. When I went to look for it under videos, I couldn't find it. Later, it showed up under videos out of the blue. I started watching the movie and it got about halfway through when the movie froze. It would not go any further although it had all or the remaining chapters listed in the chapter guide.
In looking through some other forums I have heard that my first issue was quite common and now I have heard from others that my second issue is somewhat common as well. Does anyone know what the issue is or what Apple is doing about this?

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

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.

Cant drag video onto ipod downloaded from itunes

Hi
Ive been downloading videos from itunes, for example "Joe Cartoon" podcast. I got the first few episodes onto my ipod fine, since then though i cant get videos onto the ipod. They download fine from itunes but when i try to drag them onto the ipod i get the black circle with the line through it. ive checked the info and they are mpeg4. Does anyone else have this problem or have any solutions?!
thanks in advance

Hello mizgeministarz,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I only have a few suggestions for you, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to at least try. Have you tried accessing these TV shows outside the playlist they reside in? Just access them from the main list of TV Shows if at all possible or if that isn't what you are doing currently.
It might not hurt to also try to restore the iPod and start from scratch allowing fresh copies of the TV Shows to sync over to your iPod. There may have been a syncing issue that corrupted your TV Shows. If that isn't the case, your iPod is having trouble with the video playback.
Hope this helps.

Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.
