When I rent a movie it says an error occurred

I was going on apple tv to find a movie to watch and I chose a movie to rent and it keeps saying:
An error has occurred.
Try Again Later.
We've been receiving this error for more than 24 hours now. We are able to successfully watch movie previews and streaming content (Netflix) with this apple tv.

Try rebooting your router.
What's your actual internet speed?

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Hi there Katie,
I just checked your account, and see that it's active. Are you trying to sign in via Adobe Reader? If so, please choose Help > Check for Updates in Reader and make sure that it-s up-to-date. The most current version, 11.0.07, should alleviate that sign-in error.
Best,

Can somebody help me plz?

Hi all, I know this is a very old thread, but I was battling this issue for awhile and wanted to provide my solution in case future users encounter a similar issue.
I am running Windows 8. I encountered this issue while trying to install iTunes 11.1 x64 version. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the real issue was trying to install the Apple Mobile Device service.
My resolution was installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package. It is available from Microsoft. A search on Google should reveal it. However, here is the latest link that I used: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14431
Note that redistributable packages for more recent versions of Visual C++ (eg 2008, 2010) will NOT work. Only 2005 version worked for me.
Good luck!

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

Have you verified that your TV is HDCP compliant? Consult manual and/or post model so someone can check.

On your mac/Win PC can you log into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID and password??
Can you download one of the free songs/books/ videos (look under Free on iTunes)?

HT1491 I rent a movie, it says not enough storage, when I chec

When I rent a movie not buy, it tell me I don't have enough storage, it's 32GB, I check my storage, have used
Very little - 5 movies purchased, no games, 4 other icons.

Check Setting / General / Usage and you can see exactly how much space you have left at the top of the screen.
Five movies is quite a lot and you may be forgetting about pictures, books, etc.

When I rent a movie on Apple Tv it tells me I have 4hrs until i can play it. Can't I stream the movie?

When I rent a movie on Apple TV it tells me I have 4 hrs until I can play it...How can I stream the movie so I can watch it right away?

AppleTV has fixed size rental files. These will have a given bitrate of so many Mbps.
For HD the minimum recommended internet speed for near instant rentals is 6 Mbps.
If you have less than that then clearly a movie cannot play in real time - say you get 3 Mbps connection but film is 6 Mbps you only get half the data in 'real time' so can't play. They get around this by calculating how much of a rental needs to download to memory to the allow the remainder of the data to follow on. So for your rental after 4 hours enough of the stream will have 'downloaded' to allow you to start watching with the remaining data following on as you watch in real time.
I suspect you are getting under 2-3 Mbps or therabouts.
Your options are to get a faster connection or change settings to rent SD not HD - SD generally starts much quicker.
An annoying thing with AppleTV2 is that if you do something else while 'prebuffering' a chunk of the film, this chunk can be flushed from memory to do the other task eg stream local movie or view movie trailers.
I'm sure you've looked at streaming video on webpages in the past where it stops and starts all the time when your connection is slow. This is what would happen to your rental if AppleTV tried to play it on a slow connection - it would kep stopping and starting.
Netflix on the other hand apparently adjusts quality (and hence bitrate) downwards with slower connections so they seem to work quicker.

When you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:
