Renting movies from itunes store

I have rented a movie(Red Dog) from iTunes and have twice started to play it. On each occasion it takes so long that I abandon the attempt, but when I next go back to Play it, it starts the process all over again. Although it has recognised that I've paid for it, I'm wondering whether it "re-downloads" each time? Can anyone help please?

Thanks Ferretbite ... bit of a "hidden cost", this! Sometimes I rent a movie and it comes in really quickly and is "available to play" in 10 minutes, but when it starts giving me "ready in 4 hours 25 minutes" type message, the moment has gone, if you know what I mean!

  • ITunes 11 won't play downloaded rented movie from iTunes Store

    Last night I rented a HD movie from the iTunes Store. I downloaded it to iTunes 11 on my 17" MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 and Quicktime 10.2.
    First off the movie has a blank icon but when I click on it it does show the details of the movie. However, when I try to play it all I get is this message — "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    As far as I know everything on my computer is up to date so why is this message appearing? For the **** of it I tried the 32 bit trick but iTunes wont start under that!
    I then tried playing movie on my Apple TV2 — I can see the movie in the Rentals section but here it is asking for me to Authorise my computer! When I do this on my computer I am told it is already authorised which I knew anyway!
    This is most annoying!

    I am having an identical issue but it is for a Movie I actually purchased from the iTunes Store (Casino Royale).  I get the exact same error message in iTunes when I try and play it This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." and the artwork for the movie will not show up, even if I try and manually add artwork to the Movie myself. 
    My software is all up to date and I have tried deleting the movie and re-downloading it from iTunes a number of times.  Still nothing.

  • TS4526 Can't find rented movies from iTunes store

    Rented a movie on Saturday from my Apple TV.  I checked downloads from settings and when I did this, the wheel just kept on turning.  Tried this multiple times.  I even waited 1 hour.  Changed my setting to regular definiton so that it would download faster. Still no results.  Where can I find the movie.   My acct was charged since I received an email stating that I had purchased this movie. 
    Now what? I can't seem to contact the Itunes store to ask them?
    Thank you for any help

    I'm guessing you've given up by now or found it yourself but I just had this problem with my iPad and Macbook Air. If you go into iTunes, navigate to the library, then toggle the upper left window to 'Movies' instead of 'Music', the center menu should change to a handful of movie-related choices.  The first option is 'Rented' and that's where I found my rental.

  • HT1657 cannot find rented movie from iTunes store

    I recently downloaded a rented movie, but was interupted durning its download. I reinstated the download but now I cannot find the rented movie to watch it.  Where is it?

    If you rented it directly on the iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app - if you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • Rental movies from iTunes Store

    Dear Friends,
    Trying to rent a movie from iTunes Store, why in some cases the icon where to click to rent the movie is a liter shade of gray and won't let me rent the movie when compared to other movies in the same catagory? My account has the proper funds. Here is an other twist, this happens on MacBook Air, but does not happen on iPad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for the assistance in advance.

    Launch iTunes on the MBAir.
    From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Parental Tab.
    Deselect:  Explicit Content
    Then click OK.

  • Rented movies from apple store disappeared before time

    rented movies from apple store disappeared before time is up?
    How do i retreave movies i have purchased and not yet watched that disappear.

    Had you started to watch it? Once you press play you only have 24 or 48 hours (depending on location) to finish. Also, if you watch anything else or turn off the ATV the rental will be flushed and need to be reloaded. Go to the settings, iTunes store, check for rentals in that case.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

    if i buy a movie from itunes store how can i put it on my new ipad

    Assuming it's in a supported format (which is likely), simply sync your iPad to iTunes on your computer.  Make sure you have specified that you would like to sync movies on the "movies" tab on the top right of the iTunes display (when your iPad is plugged in and its row highlighted).

    you can't, unless you fulfill these requirements:
    From the itunes store terms of service:
    +to purchase from an iTunes Store in a particular country, you must have both a residential address and a billing address in that particular country. Items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who use a credit card, debit card, iTunes Gift Certificate, or iTunes Gift Card issued in and for that country.+
