TS4526 I'm frustrated trying to rent movies on Apple TV  what's going on?

I am having issues renting movies on iTunes Apple TV. I am able to preview but not rent.  What am I doing wrong?

I once had an issue as my title (Mr, Mrs etc) was not complete on one of the account detail pages when i had to enter a 3 digit verification code.  Might be worth a check.
Also check your country and store settings are correct.
AppleTV has both a country setting for iTunes store and a Location setting which somehow defaults to Cupertino.

    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.

    It is telling me to contact itunes and unable to download.  This happened a few days ago and I got support via internet chat.  Can someone tell me how to get to internet chat support.  Cant seem to find it

    You can contact iTunes Support via this link (the contact methods might depend upon what country that you are in) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • 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

  • How can I watch an Apple rented movie via Apple TV?

    Continue to have a freezing problem with rented movies from Apple. It *****.

    What I ended up doing was to back all the out of the choice sequence and the start the movie from the beginning again. We were able to watch one hour of the movie and then it froze again. After repeated efforts to get it to continue, we gave up and went to bed.
    For the recoded, the Internet connection was fine. Netflix worked flawlessly. Only the Apple movie connection was dead.
    How do I get my rental money back? I won't be able to finish watching within the required 24 hour period after having started it last night...
    I thought this problem would go away after having the FIOS service installed. A 10+ Mgb speed stream should feed a movie in jig time. It's certainly helped with download times on software and Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo streaming. Not Apple, which seems not to know how to buffer.
    Frustrated,

  • Problems watching rented movies from Apple TV.

    I'm having trouble watching a rented movie on Apple TV.  The movie loads, but when I play the movie it gets "hung" and wont play.  I've upgraded to the latest update and have tried re-starting Apple TV with no luck.

    You can go to this page - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/download/ and read the info available - if none of that helps then use the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom - you will be directed to - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/. From that page you will be asked to fill in various info. Very painless but you have to fill in the blanks.

    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)

  • 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.
