TS1424 Has anyone encountered trouble transferring rented films to their iPhone? I get error message "iTunes could not copy [film name]  to the iPhone because the file could not be written"

I have dowloaded a film to rent. Downloads to iTunes without problem. However it does not transfer to my iPhone.
At first it appeared on iTunes as though it should be on my phone (it definately wasn't).
Apple Support sent me film to download again.
Tried to transfer it again tonight and the error message I get is: "iTunes could not copy [film title]Spy to the iPhone because the file could not be written"
Can anyone help ASAP

Two possibilities come to mind.
Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
Or...
Repair Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

I cancelled the update and my phone is fne. Has anyone else experience this? What is the cause/solution?
    Yhanks!

    DON'T DO IT! Read the threads ... there is a MAJOR problem with updating iPhones 3GS/4 to iOS 5.
    Take it to the Apple store and ask them to do it.
    I repeat: DON'T DO IT YOURSELF.

  • I just upgraded to ITunes version  10.6.0.40 and now I am having trouble connecting to my Airport Express.  I get error message 15000.  I am connecting with an ethernet cable so it is not a wireless problem.  Any ideas?

    Sure...

  • Has anyone had trouble with safari after having their hard drive replaced?

    I received an email about the recall on hard drives for the iMacs and took it to my local apple store to have it replaced.  I brought it home today and started it up to find safari will not open.  Whenever I try to use safari it brings up a prompt saying safari quit unexpectedly and I can either click "ok" or "reopen". When I click "reopen" it only brings back the same prompt.
    I called the apple store and they redirected me to the apple phone support number.  Apple phone support would not let me speak with someone without paying twenty dollars.  I am not about to pay for problems caused by apple's faulty parts.  I called the store back and I am currently waiting to hear back from a manager.
    Any trouble shooting ideas would be much appreciated!!!

    I had my HD replaced under the recall program. I am running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 on a 2.8GHz iMac.
    I haven't noticed any significantly different behavior of Safari since having my HD replaced and using Time Machine to restore my data. The only thing I've run across in about 2 weeks is that Safari's Preferences panel takes a bit longer to load than I remember.
    One thing you can try is launching Safari from your computer's main Applications folder. If it still crashes, you can also try downloadng a fresh copy here: http://www.apple.com/support/safari/
    Have you ever checked out Firefox? I personally like it better than Safari because it offers more security options, such as greater control over cookies, and supports many useful privacy and security plugins.

  • Rented a movie, won't play, gets error message. Running latest version of AppleTV2.

    After renting a movie it shows up as rented with 29 days to go, but when I hit play I get An error occurred while loading this content. Try again later. I've checked my time zone - ok, logged out of iTunes and back in, rebooted AppleTV. Still can't play movie. Any thoughts on what to do next? And, how can I get a refund on this rental if it won't play?

    I appreciate you're frustrated with the situation but it's hardly 'Snarky' telling you the truth regarding your specific comment.  I've offered an answer elsewhere - I've just checked and it still lists Apple TV rental for me, though the item may not appear if you've not had the e-mail detailing your purchases yet.
    In iTunes on your computer log into your account.
    Under Account Information>Purchase History it should list your purchases.
    Select the problem purchase/purchases form the list, and it should list them with 'Report a Problem' as a button to click on the bottom.

  • Keep getting error message itunes wont sync with iphone...help anyone

    keep getting error message...iphone wont sync with itunes..help anyone

    keep getting error message
    What does the message say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Icloud does not appear in sys pref. still has mobile me.  Also getting error message asking for password in ical. We enter it and the error re appears

    I cloud does not appear in system preferences ....after transition.
    Mobile me still there...
    All other devices working fine.
    Also ICal asking repeatedly for password...we enter it and error reappears

    Please always post your operating system when you have a question since in many cases the answer depends on it.
    Lioin 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - if you have anything earlier you can't use it directly.
    You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

  • When syncing my iphone i get a msg, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error occurred while merging data"   I sync my calendar to outlook.  My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information.  Outlook shows only recurringMY

    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated.  When syncing my iphone I get an message, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error ocurred while merging data" I sync my calendar to outlook.  My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information.  Outlook calendar only shows my recurring events. 

    hi there,
    i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
    just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
    turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • When updating 11.3, windows 7, error message "itunes has an invalid signature"

    when updating 11.3 in windows 7, get error message "itunes has an invalig signature"

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

    Dear all,
    I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
    Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
    How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
    An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

  • Has anyone encountered problem with VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE missing some data?

    Has anyone encountered a problem where the VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE table is missing some transaction activity?
    We have a situation where the monthly ST03 file shows that a user executed the MI31 transaction some time back in August.  However our ACTUSAGE table does not show this user performing MI31 for any day in August. 
    It does have records of other people using MI31 in August.  It also has records of this same user performing other transactions in August.  It even has records showing other transactions this same user performed in August.
    This is now an issue with our external Auditors.
    We are on GRC 5.3 SP 13.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bob,
    VIRSA_CC_ACTUSAGE holds information on the transactions executed by users and it gets the data from STAD. Did you notice the time user has spent in the MI31 transaction code (I know even if the user hasn't spent more time, it should be recorded), but this another step to isolate the issue.Also, check SM21 logs on that specific day, and see if there are any events registered during that time related to STAD. I think it was not able to collect the data.
    Also, check VIRSA_CC_ALTCDLOG. This is the Alter log table that stores information of ACTUSAGE. The purge utility will only delete the data from the ACTUSAGE, but it remains in the ALTCDLOG.
    Refer to SAP Note 1512020 for additional details on the Alert files.
    Hope this helps!!
    BR,

  • I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Hello al!
    I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this
    <iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>
