TS3623 I paused my rented movie on Apple TV. Now I continuously get an "Error loading content" and it won't play. I've turned it off/on, reset, etc., no luck.

Four minutes into my movie, I paused it to answer the phone. Now I can't get it to come back on. I've held the center button on the remote to turn off the Apple TV, then turned it back on, my internet connection is fine, I've tried starting it over from the beginning. It just won't come back on. Meanwhile, since I started the movie, my 24-hour time-limit to watch it is ticking down.
This is annoying! Any possible solutions? I get "error loading content" a lot - more than reasonable. Usually with Netflix, but sometimes this happens with iTunes movies as well.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Reid

TS3623 Can't find rented movie on apple tv

I downloaded two rentals to my itunes account on my computer. I'd like to watch them on our television with our appletv. I can't find the rental. Homesharing is turned on, the internet strength is fine. all of my music shows up on the tv, including the movies I've purchased, but I can't find my rentals.
Thanks for any help

Yeah that makes sense. When I would access "computers" through settings that's what it would tell me.
So I checked out the link and maybe I'm utterly lost, but I don't see it helping my situation.
I click on the "computers" icon and it tells me to turn on homesharing. So I turn on homesharing in itunes, then go back to appletv and click on the "computers" icon again and it tells me the same thing. I'm not seeing anything in the link that helps with that. Am I missing something here?

I"m curious if the movie had been fully downloaded to the device before you turned on airplane mode.

HT1498 Hi, Is it possible to change the language when renting movies from apple TV?

Hi, Is it possible to change the language when renting movies from apple TV?

It depends on how the java code is gnerated. If for example months are given with fixed array .... then it will only be english
But then agin you have the source code (.java files) open all java files in the oracle.forms froject and alter to your language then recompile and reacreate the jar (easily done with Jdeveloper)

We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change?

We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change? They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now. What's up?

Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks. It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively. Tonight has been no exception.
I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause. My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm. I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there. My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
I have both a first and second generation AppleTV. When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame. The issue affects both. I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so... it must be on the delivery end.
Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers. They should. In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
I was an early adopter of AppleTV. It has not been problematic until now. This is trying my patience. My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens. I do.
I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services. If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

Moving rented movies to Apple TV

I rented a movie on my IMac but when I tried to watch on my Apple tv it doen't appear. i can see the ones I've bought but not the ones I rent. How can I watch rented movies on apple tv?

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1498

Problem renting movies with Apple TV

Having a problem renting movies using Apple TV with Comcast cable and Netgear gigabit wireless router. After selecting a movie to rent and clicking "rent" a message appears: "Accessing iTunes Store", after some delay a second message appears stating an inability to connect to iTunes store, try again later. This issue is intermittent. At any given time a movie can be rented and streamed, but more than 50% of the time, the rental fails.

We're not really sure as yet - there certainly seem to be no comments on subtitling as a feature.

HT204370 If I pause a rented movie and then try to resume play, I am told that the movie has not been downloaded and to go to iTunes in the menu and download it. There is no download section showing and the search for rentals option produces nada...

When I pause a rented movie and then try and finish watching it, I am told that I have already rented this movie and it has not been downloaded. I am instructed to go to iTunes on the AppleTv menu, but there is no download section on any menu and search for rentals only gives me a continuous spinning wheel?

The time it takes to load is dependent on your network. Rentals made on ATV won't be available on any other device.
What is your current connection. Use speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try Ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

I got the same error and can't get it to work. My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes. I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

Hi cheryle36779349,
The free trial that we offer is for Acrobat (we don't offer trials of the online services). So, the first thing you need to do is download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. When you launch it the first time after installing it, you should be prompted to accept the end-user license agreement.
Then, so convert PDF files to Word, choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

HT1657 Rented movie on Apple TV (2nd gen.) unavailable?

When I go to play my rented movie on Apple TV (2nd gen.) I get the message the movie is unavailable, try again later. It's been unavailable for over a week now. How do I get credit or make it play?

You can either wait until later or go to expresslane.apple.com and seek help there.

HT1498 Rented movie on apple tv will not play

Rented movie on apple tv. Does not show up in rental section. Try to rent again and it says it has been rented and I should go to settings and click download. There is no download. Closest thing is to check for rentals under itunes but it just sits there and spins for over an hour

After about three hours it finally showed up under rentals. Just a terrible way to rent a movie!!!
