WHy can't I finish my movie on my phone?

I finally need to watch the end of my movie on my phone. I began on the atv and that says I have 1 hour left (don't get me started on the inane 24 hours). But my phone says "you already rented this movie. Are you sure you want to rent it again?"
So, here I am with the clock ticking down and posting on apple discussions instead of finishing my movie. I HATE the movie studios. HATE HATE HATE.
What do I do?

Well now I pressed rent again and it says there are 400 plus minutes of download before it will play. !?!?!? Why?

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,
George

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation?

msjones,
Most, if not all material sold on itunes is copyrighted and there are anti-piracy provisions embedded in the code. You may not have the rights to copy the movie to another medium such as Keynote. Your purchase of the movie and what you can do with it are limited.

HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?

Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. As far as I know Apple haven't given a reason, but you can try leaving feedback for them via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

If the movies show up with a Cloud symbol or if they will not delete when you hit the edit button (or the edit button is not there), go to Settings > Videos > Turn off 'Show All Videos'

Why can't I buy HD movies?

Why can't I buy HD movies the same way I can buy HD TV shows?
Apple has now made it easy to buy HD TV shows (and with 2.2, via the Apple TV). You get an HD version for playback on your computer or Apple TV and an SD version for playback on your iPod. Why can't we do this for movies? After all, the HD versions are available to rent!
I am hesitant to buy movies from Apple as a result, because I would get better results buying the Blu-ray version. If I could buy them in HD, it would be a no-brainer.

I can understand why the studios would want to get the most they can out of selling HD movies. But by now they must be seeing the writing on the wall. iTunes and other online delivery services wrote the eventual death of hardcopy media long before the HDDVD/BluRay war ended. If I'm not mistaken (and I am on many occasions), didn't Microsoft and Netflix announce an online delivery partnership shortly after HDDVD threw in the towel? The only hardcopy media of any kind I have purchased since I got my AppleTV are shows and movies that I collect.
I would venture a guess that it's only a matter of time before HDTVs start coming with internal hard drives and wireless capability. In the next ten years or so, the way we watch movies and TV shows will change drastically, and the only reason for broadcast/cable TV will be to watch live events like news or sporting events. But they too will eventually be coming via online sources as well. The broadcast networks are going to have to make major changes in the way they do business and how they deliver their product in order to remain viable.
HD movie sales will be available soon enough. It's only a matter of time.
98 cents change, please.

Why can't I buy a movie that I pre-ordered, with the iTunes card already redeemed?

See, I bought an iTunes card the other day and redeemed it that same day. After doing so, I pre-ordered a movie that was expected to be released on the 18th of March(today). So I tried to purchase the movie I pre-ordered with the credit I redeemed from the iTunes card, but it is asking for my billing information. So I clicked on the link where it says "To redeem code, click here", and it asked me to enter a code. My concern is why can't I buy that movie I pre-ordered with I the money I have in my iTunes account?

You didn't purchase the movie, you pre-ordered it. So the code works to put in the pre-order for the movie. So it's on hold, so to speak. Then when the movie comes out (and only then) are you actually billed, so you have to enter the code again in case you or someone else who has access to your computer used some -- perhaps too much of the credit in the meantime.
If I use a regular credit card and pre-order something, oftentimes there is some kind of perk or extra included along with it for me in return for pre-ordering. Like an extra feature for example. I don't actually get billed until I actually get the movie and so it's kinda like that.
Did you lose the code?
If you did, I'm sorry, but you could call Apple & hopefully they will make things right.
You could go here to get the ball rolling > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Why can't I receive messages from a Droid phone on my IPad?..

SMS is part of cellular voice communication.
iPads do not do voice over cellular.
iMessage is Apple devices only.
If you want to send and receive SMS you will have to download an app from the store, such as text+.

HT204382 Why can't I play a .MOV movie on my apple (MacBook Pro)?

My parents have been sending me little .MOV movies via email. But I can't play them on my MacBook Pro. I am however able to play them on my iPhone.
Why can't I play it on my computer?
This is the error msg I get: The document “IMG_0259.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
Many thanks,
Mascha

I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!
