"Unable to Sign In" when attempting to rent TV shows/Movies

I'm quite happy with this new device with one tiny exception. I get an "Unable to Sign In" when attempting to make a rental from the Apple TV. I can rent on my computer and watch on the TV, but I'd like to be able to rent directly from Apple TV.
I've double/triple checked my iTunes sign in information and software. All is well on that front.
Ideas anyone?

I had the same problem which took a long time to resolve. If you are getting the error message indicating you are "Unable to Sign In" with the explanation that either your AppleID and/or your password are not recognized, I've discussed my problems and eventual solution elsewhere in this forum. Here's the original post Subject:
Apple TV2 Does Not Recognize AppleID Account
Hopefully, you'll find something there that might help you.
Good luck!

  • "Unable to your purchase" when attempting to rent a movie via Apple TV.  What's the problem?

    Never had a problem renting movies via Apple TV until now.  Message states that my purchase can't be completed.  What gives ?

    I have simply re-entered my credit card data after making the movie selection. It is a big nuisance to pull out the card and enter the numbers etc. including the 3 digit code. There must be a way to save the data for the Apple TV, but I have only had it for a few days and haven't figured it out.

    Hi
    BUT
    This can take times ! - I mean several Hours ! !
    Last time I did this it took > 20 Hours (INTEL i7 4x4 processors - 2.2GHz)
    AND - remember to connect Your MacBook (or laptop) to Mains-adaptor - as battery might run out !
    Still - there is no alternative route to this (repair of iPhoto Library) suggested by Karsten !

  • I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

  • Unable to add address when attempting to order photos

    This is somewhat odd. The other day I ordered photos via iPhoto no problem. Tonight, I want to order more but ship them to a diff. address. Click on drop down box to add new address, account info window appears, I sign in, then a blank window appears. Anyone know what to do?
    Thanks!

    I'm glad I checked the discussion forum and discovered that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. I've ordered many books in the past, but this week tried to add a new shipping address to my list, and the system will not let me add. I emailed customer support, and after realizing that I had tried all the proper steps, they indicated that they think it is a technical problem. I even took it to the Genius Bar where they double checked all my settings and couldn't figure it out. Customer Service suggested that I call Apple Technical Care at 1-800-275-2273. Hopefully they can help.

  • Error -40 when attempting to import a quicktime movie

    Hello folks, I just spent a few hours altering an avi file with divx doctor so that i could get sound and import it into iMovie for burning onto dvd. IMovie attempts to import the file and it shows that the file is importing but when it's done I get the "error -40 file could not be imported" error message. I read somewhere online that files of over 2 GB's (which it isn't), or 9 minutes long (which it is) aren't importable. Anyone know anything about this?
    The file is 138 MB's

    Hi mncyclist - DV is a type of video format. Mini-DV video cameras create this type of video. It is high quality and can be edited for creating DVD movies etc.
    You can find out what version of iMovie you have very simply by clicking on the iMovie menu in the menu bar, and then clicking 'About iMovie'.
    I have no idea what that file is, but almost certainly it is not understood by iMovie!
    You could try running the original .avi file through the free app. called MPEG StreamClip and see if that helps (convert it to .dv format) - see here:

  • I am getting the error "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" when attempting to play a HD movie from iTunes to my TV.  The TV is a Samsung UN46B7000WF w/resolution 1080p

    Hello Apple Community,
    I am getting the message "THis movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."  This is the first time I have tried to watch a HD movie that I bought from iTunes from my iMac to my TV.  (This is also the first attempt to go from my iMac to my TV.)  I have a Samsung LED tv that says it is HDCP compatible with Full HD (1080p) and Native resolution is 1920X1080.  I bought a Rocketfish Thunderbolt to/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter (says support is up to 1920X1200 video resolution) and Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (35 Feet) - High-Speed Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return category 2 certified (supports resolution up to 4K including 1440p, 1080p, 1080i and lower).
    I can get the iMac to display on my TV but am guessing that I have not managed the settings correctly in Display for either the iMac or the TV.  In addition, I do not have sound yet.  Although, the card from Mediabridge says that I need to update my drivers.  Any help/advice with the settings for iMac to TV to watch in HD and adding HDMI drivers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.
    Sincerely,
    Lisa

    Hello All,
    I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.
    Regards,
    Lisa

  • IDVD encoding errors when attempting to burn slide show to DVD.

    iDVD fails to burn disk and fails with encoding error.  Have attempted to use best, good, and professional modes of encoding to no avail.

    Hi Patrick,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions. I see you're a new member. Hope you're enjoying your new Mac Pro. What are you trying to burn to exactly?  I use Verbatim Dvd-R with excellent results. If you are using a higher quality media like Verbatim, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden but to no avail then I need to ask if you have first tried making a disc image from the file menu in iDvd and then playing back said image with apple's dvd player app (prior to burning to Dvd-R).
    This approach helps us narrow down the issue so we can better assist you.

  • Error 5002 when trying to rent

    Anyone else getting this error when attempting to rent a movie? We also get "an unable to connect to itunes" message when attemping to rent a movie from our Apple TV.

    What movie are you trying to rent? I am trying to get "The Orphanage", and am seeing this error. I can't rent either regular or HD version, either from AppleTV, nor from iTunes. I cannot purchase this film, either. However I can purchase music, and also can purchase TV shows, and could rent another HD movie title with no issues.
    iTunes tech support had me reenter my payment information, but this did not solve the issue. Any other ideas?

  • Error 0xBFF69011 - "Unable to get attribute" when saving current camera settings to file

    Hi,
    I get an Error 0xBFF69011 - "Unable to get attribute" when attempting to save current camera setting to file with MAX. I was not able to save a single time, hence the settings the camera came with out of the box are still active.
    Camera: Basler acA2500-14um
    Camera firmware: 106215-05;U;acA2500_14u;V1.0-8;0
    Driver: NI-IMAQdx USB3 Vision device
    MAX version:5.4
    IMAQdx version: 4.2 
    Does anyone know what causes this error or how I can modify the camera settings and save the modifications to file?
    Thank you,
    Ferenc

    Yes, the 1.0 Basler firmware released after IMAQdx 4.2 exposed this specific problem. This has been addressed in Vision Acquisition September 2013 (13.1) which includes IMAQdx 4.3. There should have been a public KB created for this issue but I do not see it yet...

  • QuickTime Pro keeps crashing when I open "Show Movie Properties"

    I keep getting the "QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." crash when I try and do "Show Movie Properties" on .MOV files.
    The error signature is:
    EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.65.17.80
    P3 : 4afa5828 P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll P5 : 7.65.17.80 P6 : 4afa5820
    P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
    Any suggestions?
    I'm running the latest QuickTimePro (7.6.5) on WinXP SP3

    in fact it's one of the few bits of Quick Time that seems stable on my PC!
    Hmmmmm ... your symptoms aren't typical for what I'm about to check on. But I think we ought to check to see if any other application has sprayed old QuickTime componentry into unorthodox places on the PC. (That's one possible cause of a BEX.)
    (1) Go Start > My Computer.
    (2) From the Tools menu, select Folder Options ...
    (3) Click the View tab.
    (4) Make sure Show hidden files and folders is selected and Hide extensions for known filetypes is unchecked.
    (5) Click OK.
    Now head down into your C:\Windows\system32\ directory. What files and folders with QuickTime in the file/folder-name can you see in there?
    (In a standard QuickTime installation, you should see precisely two files, QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx, and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
