TS3623 Rented iTunes movie not loading.

I have a new apple tv device. I rented a movie through iTunes however every time I go to watch it, I'm told there are xx number of minutes left to load. This number changes every time I check it but it is never fully loaded. The device is connected wirelessly and has full signal.
The number of days I have left to watch it has dropped to 13 despite not being able to start the movie
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

If you only have 13 days left it sounds like you rented it 17 days ago.
You have 30 days to start watching, but once started you only get 24-48 hours to watch (US 24, UK 48)
Check your broadband speed at speedtest.net on a computer.
You need 2.5 Mbps for near instant playback of SD content, 6 Mbps for 720p HD contenet and 8 Mbps for 1080p HD content.
If your connection is slower then AppleTV predownloads/buffers enough of the movie to play it through without interruption (in tehory) - depending on the actual vs required speed this may take from a few mins to many hours or longer.
For example on 4 Mbps if I rent an HD 720p title, AppleTV need 30-40 mins to 'buffer' the stream.
The annoying thing with AppleTV2 and 3 is that if you navigate away from the 'loading' screen and use it for something else, the portion already downloaded is easily flushed from memory by using other AppleTV features - even just viewing a movie trailer.

  • 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.

  • Itunes will not load, someone please help!?

    i have read all the forums, and nothing is working for the technical help that I need, itunes will not load or work and no matter what help I am trying to seek, nothing is working. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, everything that people are advising but nothing seems to work. Basically each time I try to click on itunes to load, the timer appears but nothing else. I have just replaced my iphone and I cant get it to sync with my itunes so basically i cant use my phone either, please help anyone?! thanks, terri!

    I believe the files need to be in MPEG-4 format. Or that is what I am converting my movies in and it works fine.
    Movies you download off of iTunes are in M4V format, which is probably Apples MPEG-4 format name.

  • Increase volume of rented iTunes movies?

    I have difficulty with the volume level being too low on rented iTunes movies.  I have tried the following setups with my first generation iPad:
    1) Apple HDMI adapter -> HDMI cable to Mitsubishi EW230U-ST projector; Creative T-40 speakers plugged into mini-stereo jack of projector; volume turned to max on all devices.  This produces speaker volume that is not adequate for a large room.
    2) Same as #1, but instead run the Creative speakers directly from the headphone jack of the iPad.  Volume similarly inadequate.
    3) Same as #1 or #2, but insert FiiO E5 Headphone Amplifier into mini-stereo chain going to Creative T-40 speakers.  This produces adequate volume, though to my ears, the quality is diminished somewhat.  I'm not fond on this approach, because the FiiO uses a built-in battery which might fail without warning during the showing of a movie.
    What would be ideal would be a way to increase the volume going out the headphone jack of the iPad.  I understand that this is deliberately limited to protect the hearing of those using headphones.  Alternatively, increasing the volume going over HDMI would likely help - unless the projector's mini-stereo jack is similarly being limited for headphone reasons (less likely, since projectors are usually hooked to external speakers).
    So ... is there any way to make the iPad output louder sound with rented movies?  Jail-breaking solutions are probably not appropriate, as I don't want to risk my ATT unlimited data plan.
    I should say that if I just play a DVD instead of using the iPad, the sound level from the DVD player's stereo jack is strong enough for the Creative T-40 speakers to rock the room.
    If I could solve this problem, I would rent a lot more iTunes movies, as it is the easiest way to get a movie.

    I followed your procedure and did some testing.  By setting the volume slider to +100%, the movie was louder on my Mac.
    I then transferred the movie to my iPad and took my equipment to the facility where I play movies. I didn't have a pristine rental copy to test against, so I used my own DVD copy of the movie.  This is what I found:
    A) The best and strongest sound was when the the T40 speakers were directly connected to the DVD player's RCA sound jacks and the video was coming thru the hdmi to the projector.
    B) The worst (quietest) sound was when the speakers took their input from the mini-stereo jack of the projector, with the video and sound coming from the dvd player thru hdmi.
    C) I compared this with the +100% sound-increased movie rental running on my iPad, with hdmi connection to the projector and sound coming from the mini-stereo jack of the projector to the T40 speakers.  This was definitely much louder than "B" above.  So I can safely say that the sound boost performed on the rental movie on my Mac did copy over to the iPad.
    D) Unfortunately, even "C" above is not loud enough for this room.  But if I added the FiiO amp to "C", then there was plenty of sound - though not as pleasant (or simple) as "A" above.
    I wonder if there is some way to get more than the +100% sound boost in iTunes?
    I think it is unfortunate that renting a digital movie is fraught with such difficulty. It should be possible to adjust the sound as needed - and preferably on the iPad!  Otherwise, we are just going to keep renting DVDs.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

    Apple TV 1st generation- can't seem to transfer rented Itune movies from my Mac to the Apple TV

    You need to establish if it was 1080p or 720p HD you downloaded.
    If it's 1080p it will not play at all on AppleTV1 - the hardware is not powerful enough to decode 1080p h264 (or 720p above 25fps).  When AppleTv1 came out most items were SD only and with time more 720p HD stuff became available.  1080p content cm after AppleTV 1 and 2 were replaced by AppleTV 3.
    AppleTV2 can process but not display 1080p - it is stuck to 720p output.
    AppleTV1 could only process 720p max, but could always upscale on output to 1080p!
    Your iTunes Preference should determine what quality you are downloading/renting.

  • HT201269 Can I transfer a rented itunes movie on my PC to a flash drive?

    Is it possible to transfer a rented itunes movie on a PC to a wi-fi flash drive to view on an ipad? How?

    Thanks for the help. Although the FAQ cited below does not specifically rule it out, I suspect rentals may not be transferred to a non-Apple device. Is that your conclusion as well?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.

  • Can I watch a rented iTunes movie on my MacBook Pro on an airplane?

    I will be flying tomorrow and was wondering if I can watch a rented iTunes movie on my MacBook Pro on the airplane. I have read if it is set in airplane mode that I can, but I want to be sure and was also wondering, if I can, do I have to watch it through a special app besides itunes. Any help or information would be great. Thanks!

    Airplane mode?  What's that? 
    For the record, my Macbook Pro has been on many flights for the past 5 years and not once have I heard the pilot announce that everyone put all computers on airplane mode?

  • Streaming rented iTunes movie to ATV2 from Mac

    I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Mac — with the idea that I could elect to view it on either my iPod or stream it to my ATV2. I chose to do the latter, but no go. Apple says (or seems to say) that you must own the iTunes movie to be able to stream it to the ATV2. When I bought the ATV2 at my Apple store, I was emphatically told that "If it's in your iTunes library, you can stream it to your ATV2." Since the direct streaming from iTunes to ATV2 has significant issues (stalling part way through even on a fast line), I thought a direct download to my Mac was the answer — to be streamed from there via my network. What the #*^^ is the truth about this. In another post in this forum, a person says he is regularly doing such streaming of a rented iTunes item that he has downloaded to his Mac!

    OK — I've gotten things resolved. Unplugged and replugged the ATV2 for a reset. Now everything streams just fine — even a rented iTunes movie from my Mac. Too, I have now gone into the ATV2 settings and instructed it to select standard (non-HD) movies for rentals. This is many times faster and on our large flat screen Sony, I see no difference. In any case, HD or not, the wise thing to do is to do your download well in advance of viewing — i.e. hours. The flash memory in the ATV2 should hold it for at least 48 hours (or so Apple Support tells me). As it turns out, "streaming", even with a 10 mb line and an "N" wireless system, streaming is not exactly streaming. But it comes closer to it if you select non-HD movies.

  • Blank, white screen: "movie not loaded".

    Forgive the use of emoticons, but I am really annoyed
    about this new update.
    Is everyone else right clicking previously-working Flash
    streams/web content only to find "Movie not loaded" appearing?
    Or is it just me?
    What am I doing wrong - today I went to update Flash as it
    kept nagging at me to do so. Biggest mistake of my life.
    It seemed to install fine; I got the screen with the red F
    icon and the green and white bar moving, then it loaded and I got
    to the page where I was meant to see a confirmation message. But
    nothing, just a blank white space.
    I've tried to reinstall, I've tried SubInACL method with the
    cmd script, I've tried to change ActiveX options as Adobe advised,
    I've right clicked and changed user permissions and I have been
    through the Adobe troubleshooting article.
    Is there another method? I'm tearing my hair out - this
    morning everything worked fine, and now all my internet
    entertainment is not working!
    I'm using Vista Home Basic....if there are any other ideas
    please do post them!

    Did you ever find a solution for this? I am experienceing the
    same issue.

  • Movie not loaded on Win 7 - 64bit

    Hi all,
    this question is in a similar thread as this:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4184624
    However i have been unable to resolve this issue as the previous poster was.
    i have completed 3 separate OS installs of windows 7 (2-64bit installs and 1-32bit install).  However i have been unable to resolve my flash problems.  Here is the details:
    System:
    -AMD x2 athlon
    -Asus m2-a vm motherboard
    -6gb ddr2 ram
    -realtek 1gb nic
    -xfx nvidia 9600gt
    - windows 7
    -IE 8/9 attempted
    -Chrome attempted
    I have so far been unable to get the flash player to load at all.  I have tried to load the offline installer as admin user context, and no luck [when i say load i mean the flash player itself, installation of flash has succeeded everytime without issues as have uninstallations.] .  I have tried older installers with no luck.  i have also tried different browsers.  not one combination has worked.  I've tried clearing settings on the local 32-bit control panel.  However I can't disable the hardware rendering because of the fact it never loads the applet on any of the status pages for me to access.
    At current, i have reloaded windows 7 64-bit and am looking for a more in depth answer to see if any ini files or reg settings exist for setting these to software only rendering.  However I am not entirely convinced that this is the problem.  I think the problem maybe more related to the player specifically not loading the movies or not even properly running the appropriate installed dll`s.
    Before you ask, latest nvidia drivers loaded and flash is enabled in add-ons as many of the others have suggested.  Please help, this has eaten up a week of my mind now.
    Also should note all MS important patches are installed as of 4/8/2012 - and Service Pack 1 is installed on Windows.  I've also just completed installing IE 9 on this fresh build of windows 7 64-bit.  I've also installed Chrome, this morning and it also received the error "movie not loaded".  I'm also using the latest version of 64-bit FLASH (11.x.x.x.x) version that was downloaded this morning. 
    So I'm now at a stopping point.  I cannot use Amazon at all, or Youtube.  It appears to load the plugin on some level as I can see the youtube videobox in black and then when I try to right click, it shows "About Adobe Flash 11.xx.x.x.x" or "Movie not loaded"... Thanks again for any assistance you can provide on this.
    Update:
    After much looking on the forums, I'm now attempting to verify with another functional PC that the actual files are present.  I've found that the following files are present on the working system:
    The system having the problems appears to be missing alot of these files.  The OCX is the only file present.  I'm going to see if I can verify what happened here.  So hopefully this won't recur.  However it looks like there maybe an issue with the installer at this time.  I can't imagine how thougth when I've tried downloading the full offline installation version.

    This computer has two different versions of Flash Player for Internet Explorer and two different versions of Flash Player for other browsers.
    A clean install is recommended: 
    Windows
    Download the current 32 bit uninstaller    Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
    Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller 
    Restart Windows 
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window) 
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flas 
    %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player 
    %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
    Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems has been deleted.
    Download the following installer files:
    32 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Physically disconnect from the Internet and run the installers.

    itunes will not load on my ipad. Icon is there. When I open "Music", it shows itunes with no content briefly and then takes me back to home page. What to do?

    Quit the app and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
