Why can't i finish watching my rental movie

i cant finish watching my itunes rental movie why?

What problem are you having when you try to watch the rest of the movie?
What error message, if any, do you receive?
Does this apply:
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657

Can't finish watching iTunes rental movie after pausing - can't restart movie via Settings - iTunes Store - Check for Rentals?

I rented a movie from itunes using Apple tv. Half way through, I paused it and then accidentally hit menu instead of play. i was directed to settings - iTunes store- check for rentals and now its just spinning and i can't watch the rest of the movie.

Backing out of the movie can cause it to be flushed from the system as it is not stored. There seems to be a bug with the check for rentals function, try logging out and back into your account.

HT1657 Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window. Anyone else have this problem?

This doesn't seem right.
I paid for a rental and downloaded an HD movie, Avatar. I could start watching within about a minute, it played without skipping a beat.
My wife started watching the movie the next night and got about half way through.
The next day, she tried watching the rest, and selected the film and clicked on "resume watching".
But instead of streaming and playing like it should, we got the spinning wheel of death followed by a message "Ready to play in 1 minute" which soon became "Ready to play in 2351 minutes"!
Additional information that I can add is that it was Sunday afternoon which is peak time for internet usage and I'd just exhausted my data allowance before the speed limiting kicks in. Basic internet using browsers at that time was really slow.
So it was as though the movie we were going to resume watching was going to be downloaded from the iTunes Store again, and since my connection had been speed limited, it was going to take forever. I thought you downloaded a rental to your hard drive and it deleted itself after it expired? So any subsequent streaming to AppleTV would be coming direct from your hard drive. It shouldn't have been affected by the speed of my internet connection at that time, surely. Anyone else experienced this?
Actually, I just noticed this post, I'm sure it's related...:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12398832&#12398832

Why can i not get my amazon intant movies to come up on my apple tv?

Why can I not get my amazon instant movies to come up on my apple tv from my ipad airplay?

Not an AppleTV problem as such.
Many app developers seem to block video airplay of content that you can watch in an app.
I can only assume this has something to do with rights issues for the movie/show.
Check on amazon's instant movies site for more info.

HT1657 Do I need wifi to watch a rental movie?

I want to download movies on my laptop so that my child can watch on a car ride where we won't have wifi. Is this possible? Or must you have wifi to watch a rental movie?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will only need an Internet connection to download the movie, once it is downloaded you can watch it anywhere.

Why can't I finish reading some of the the books I bought in iBooks on my iPod touch 32GB? It's a brand new device and I synced it with my old iPod touch 16GB.

Itunes crashed while watching a rental movie, that was downloading.

Was downloading/watching the Senna movie, and all of a sudden it stopped, at first I thought it was just the movie had reached a point where it hadn't downloaded the content, but then it completly froze, after a bit I force quit, re-oppended it, and nothing is downloading/ nothing in my rentals. I think the movie would of been fairly near downloaded completly.
How do I get it back?

I've had a similar issue with Itunes 10.5 (on a Mac OS 10.6). It's happened three times so far. The first time I was downloading a purchased movie. I began watching it while it was still downloading. About 1/3 of the way through Itunes hangs (ie. the program stops and I get the spinning beach ball). When I restart itunes the file is gone and can't be redownloaded.
I contacted apple and got the file reinstated to my downloads, but it happened again. And then again with an additonal movie.
I don't know if this problem will occur if I try to download the complete movie before watching it. At this stage I'm not prepared to take the risk downloading any more movies!

I have been watching a rental movie and the audio cut out half way through, tried restoring the apple TV now I've lost the rental.

I have just been watching (The Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?

Hi David.
This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there.

Why can't iMovie on iOS create portrait movies?

If I take a video on my iPhone in portrait mode and then import it into iMovie for editing, iMovie always crops it.
Why can't iMovie on iOS create portrait videos?
Splice can create portrait videos!!!

I don't know why, as we are all users here no one will really know why.
I assume it's because TVs only play wide video.
But if you really want to see it in future I suggest you tell Apple:

If enough peoploe ask they will change it.

Why can't I import an iMovie clip (.MOV) into iTunes?

After importing HD video (from a Canon Vixia HV40) into iMovie 11 (v 9.04) at 960x540 resolution, you get a bunch of .mov files. Does anyone know why those .mov files, as they come out of the import process,will not import into iTunes?
Here are the details. My brother wanted to put a small one onto his iPad. I told him the simplest way (or so I thought) to do it would be to import the .mov file into iTunes (v 10.6.1) and then sync his iPad. There was no need to make a project from the single clip, then share it. However, iTunes will not import any of the .mov files made with the iMovie import. Does anyone know why? This happens on my iMac (core i7) and his (core i5). Of course, if I open the .mov file in QuickTime Player (v 10.1) then export to a .m4v file (export setting "iPad, iPhone & Apple TV"), the new file imports into iTunes just fine. In case iTunes thinks you shouldn't be importing clips from the iMovie events folder, I dragged the clip to the desktop and tried the import, but that did not work either.
I guess what this comes down to is given that iMovie, QuickTime Player and iTunes all come from Apple, why can iMovie and QuickTime Player read the file while iTunes cannot? I would think the same code would be in all three products (do the iMovie and QuickTime Player developers refuse to share, while the iTunes developers are lazy?).

I had this problem also, only the .m4v files could not be imported either! The strange thing was I was able to do this task with other home vids in the past without issue. I simply shut everything down and rebooted at this point as a last dithch effort to avoid a trip to the Apple store and then it worked - itunes was able to accept the import.

Why can't I export a Medium/Large movie?

Hi,
Newbie here - be kind. I'm just joining clips to upload to youtube. I don't need to splice anything. I am having the following issues:
1. When you put your clips in iMovie, is there a way to display the accompanying file name? Or since I don't need to splice anything, can I just display the clips in a text list format? It would make things a lot easier in terms of makin sure I'm putting the clips in the correct chronological order.
2. When I try exporting the movie, the option for "Medium" and "Large" is greyed out. All I can export is mini, which is terrible resolution. My source clips are from a Sony HDD camcorder and are 720x480. Any idea why I can't export a higher resolution movie?
Thanks. I really appreciate any help out there.

I am having the same problem!! I have imported files that were .mov (though they were converted from VHS tapes I imported). I am thinking it is because the quality of the VHS was not good enough to export into a medium to large format. (Although when I plug the VCR into the TV the picture is clear) I don't know why it can go in as an mp4 or mov and can't also export as such. I really haven't done much to them except add some transitions and a couple of songs. I am afraid once I put them into iDVD, the picture will be very pixellated, even though it was clear with the original VHS.
