While watching rented movie it stops during playback, how do i fix it?

I rented a long movie and it continues to stop during playback, how do I fix that?

Hi dedesgirl,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue playing songs in iTunes. Does the playback issue only occur with specific tracks and were they purchased from the iTunes Store? Take a look at the article linked below and try the suggestions which will resolve most iTunes and QuickTime Player playback issues.

I hope this helps.

  • Movies & Episodes stopping during playback

    Has anyone else have any issues with the iPhone during video playback? I got the free version of the new Terminator series and downloaded Transformers toady. During playback of Terminator (20 minutes) it cut out to the file selection screen. During playback of Transformers it cut out again halfway through the movie. {post edited by moderator}.
    Does anyone have any insight as to stop this from happening?

    How much free storage space do you have available on your iPhone?
    I have never experienced the same.
    Standard troubleshooting procedures in order are power the iPhone off/on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so which doesn't affect and data or settings, Restore and if no change after any and all, give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at a local Apple Store to have this checked if there is one nearby.

    can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    Yes. although you do occasionally hear about people having problems.  If your trip is less than 24 hours, it might be a good idea to start the movie while you're connected to WiFi (which will start the rental clock ticking) and pause it.  You're not supposed to have to do this, but some people swear it prevents the occasional glitch.  I've only rented a couple of movies and they worked find on the plane.

  • ITunes stops during playback and won't start until I restart the computer

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I just reformated my computer and placed all the updates and programs back onto my computer. I had iTunes on my computer before and I reinstalled it then upgraded it to version 7.3.2.6. Now I've been reintroducing music back into the library on a folder by folder method (drag and drop). Anyway, during review of the songs I will get a random issue where the iTunes just stops during playback. I have shut down the program and restarted it. I've also shut down the following programs at different times to see if it would help:
    iPodService, ITunes.exe (the program), iTunesHelper, and even taskmgr.exe. Nothing seems to help. When I restart the program I click on play (any song or playlist) and nothing happens. The only thing that I have found to help is rebooting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
    I've check the event logs and nothing is showing in there and other programs are working without an issues.
    Please help!

    Any suggestions on what this can be?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you rent a movie on the Apple TV, then it can only be watched on the Apple TV. If you want to watch movies on multiple devices, you need to download it to your computer, where you can then transfer it to other devices or stream it to your Apple TV as well as watch it from your Mac.

    What is causing and how do you fix a song stopping during playback? I have latest iTunes 12.0.1 and Yosemite 10.10.1.
    It stops then after several seconds (like 25 secs) then it starts again ... and then several seconds later it stops again!
    I have the latest software so I don't know what to do?

  • IMac 7,1 turning internal screen off while watching a movie via output (second display), possible?

    iMac 7,1 turning internal screen off while watching a movie via output (second display), is it possible with Lion?

    Actually, Plex does the best job by placing a black background to the internal iMac screen it's called Blanking.
    However that does not turn off the backlit which is very bright on the iMac 24" also the internal screen will draw more power that way.   As you probably know running bootcamp you can turn off the internal screen while watching a movie on the external.  This isn't a hardware limitation, I hope Lion has this feature.

  • When watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    when watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    I just started have this same/simmilar issue to.  Was there a solution to the original question?  I have 2 ATVs.  One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out.  Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net).  Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

  • WATCHING RENTED MOVIES ON HOLIDAY.

    I want  to rent a movie in iTunes and watch it on a cruise ship in the area of Norway and the Arctic Circle.. I know iTunes can advise me, but has anyone any  adverse experience of watching rented movies in areas other than where the movie was downloaded, which, in this case was the UK
    The movie would be viewed on a imac2.
    Thanks in anticipation..

  • 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.

  • ITunes won't let me watch rented movies!

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Quicktime 7.5.5. iTunes message says I can't watch rented movies and recommended another QT version that I can't remember. What should I do? Note: in Systems Profiler, I have QT 7.5.5 in Apps and in Frameworks.

    Apparently a lot of people have reading comprehension issues.  I have the same problem as op except I use first generation appleTV.  So for you slow people let me spell it out.
    If you are trying to purchase movies on iTunes (this is the important part so pay attention) running on a computer that does not support HD you are NOT able to purchase HD movies.  The message that pops up says you cannot purchase HD movies on a computer that does not support HD. 
    The question the OP was asking and I have this question also is why does it matter if the computer I am buying the movie on supports HD when the intent is not to play the movie on the computer in the first place.  AppleTV does support HD and streams from itunes on the computer.

    Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?

    If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
    iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
    If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
    Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content.
