Why won't a Rented movie will not restart?

Rented a movie through iTunes  I stopped it and now it will not restart

Welcome to the Apple community Triley937.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

    why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

    Glad that you got the adjustment layer issue worked out. Not quite enough info to troubleshoot the other problems. The following page outlines the kind of info that helps zero in on the cause of such problems: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    As to the cache files and rendered previews, you do not need to keep them. Premiere will regenerate them as needed. Because re-conforming the audio and re-rendering the sequence takes time, you probably want to keep those files around for the current project--unless, of course, you have reason to think that the cache or render files are causing problems.
    To keep things clean and get the attention of more people, it would probably be best to start a new thread for the other issues.

  • Redeemed movie will not restart

    I was watching a redeemed movie iTunes for Windows, and my laptop went to sleep. 
    Now the movie will not restart. 
    I only get the 'barber shop' graphic, but the movie does not play.
    Is there any way to clear this symptom or repair the file?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If the above don't work then you could try another reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1390 Rented movie will not play.

    I downloaded a movie I rented but my computer will not play it. I have the options of using VLC (default), MPlayerX and Quick Time 7. As it was downloading, it began to play and then stopped and wouldn't start again. I waited until the movie had totally finished downloading and tried to play it and I had no luck in seeing it begin. I've played more recently released movies before and had no trouble. This one was from the 1990s.  If it won't work, I'd like a refund.

  • HT1657 Why won't my rented movie download?

    I rented dark knight rises it won't play it's stuck on processing. What do I do?

    Please turn off your caps lock.  All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many will not read such posts.
    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

  • Why won't my rented movie show up on my ipad?

    I've rented plenty of movies before so I know how it's supposed to work. I rented the movie, moved it to the iPad, synced, and my purple video bar goes up to show the movie is syncing, but when it says it's finishing the sync, the purple video bar suddenly goes way down and it doesn't put the movie onto the ipad. HOWEVER, on my imac in itunes, it shows the video is on my ipad. But, look in Videos on the ipad and it isn't there. I tried searching my ipad for the movie, and got nothing. It isn't there. So, i went back to delete the movie from the ipad and was going to sync and then move it back to the ipad and sync again, but now i get a message saying that if i delete the movie from my ipad i'll have to rent the movie again. ***? It shows the movie is on the ipad, but seriously... it isn't. My IOS is up to date.

    No...rentals will still appear in the Videos app and like you said, a Spotlight Search should reveal them if they are actually on the iPad.
    You did try the basic stuff, like close the videos app, reboot the iPad? You should ba able to "move" the rental back to iTunes on your iMac without penalty of having to rent it again.
    From the iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ web site. I changed some of the type to italics for emphasis.
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • Rented movie will not stream

    I am using my iPad and I use it to rent a movie the movie begins to download but I can not get it to stream to me. I can get movies I rent. On my desktop to stream. Do I have To wait for the entire movie to download to my iPad before I can view it?

    Hi,
    but I can not get it to stream to me.
    Try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    After you restart the iPad try viewing a rented movie. Keep in mind you have 30 days to decide when you want to watch the movie and you have 24 hrs to finish viewing the movie from the time you started. Once the movie period is over the movie will be deleted from your iPad automatically.
    Also, check to make sure you do not have any other apps running in the background before viewing a rental. In the iTunes app store on your iPad click the Home button twice. All your apps will appear at the bottom of the iPad window.
    And try resetting network settings. Tap Settings in your Home screen then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings. Now try viewing a movie.

  • HT1657 rented movie will not download to mac

    rented a movie from itunes and it will not download to Mac. Keep getting an error message when I try to open it to watch on the MAc. Any help??

    How large is the film ? It's size should be on its decription page in the store. The current 'top film' here in the UK is 5.12 gig in HD format.

  • TS1424 Rented movie will not load from iTunes

    I have been trying, without success, to watch a movie that I rented from iTunes. It will not load, loads after waiting for  ages and then plays 2-3 minutes and stops. I have a 50MB connection so download speed is not a factor.
    How do I contyact iTunes and request a refund?
    I have now bought the movie!!
    Thanks
    Stebe

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Rented movie will not self delete

    i rented two movies the last week. both were moved to ipod, both were viewed on ipod, both have expired (24hr view window) while on ipod.
    the first one self deleted, the other remains on my ipod. this expired movie is not listed under the rented movies portion when at the itunes level (and device is selected). however, when i click on the ipod under "devices" in itunes, then select the "rented movies" under the list of directories, i see the rented movie, just ghosted.
    i cant select or delete it.
    i have re-synced several times but i cannot get rid of the movie.
    suggestions?

    figured out how to delete movie. but what i havent figured out is why i had to. my only guess is i didnt completely watch the movie in 24 hrs (i quit while credits were rolling). this is the only difference from the first movie that auto-deleted.
    the fix/work around:
    set your ipod to "manually manage music and video" I also had "enable disk use" although i dont think it matters. once you've done this you can select movie on ipod while docked and delete.
    good luck

  • Rented movie will not download

    Just rented a movie at iTunes, But it will not download.
    The download icon just disappers. I have an ipad with the newest update.
    Please help! Thanks :)

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Rented movie will not leave "Downloads" : Error 5102

    I rented a movie several months ago, and it will not leave my iTunes > Store > Downloads.
    I can delete the item when it appears, and it will go away. However, the next time I click "Downloads" I'm presented with the message "1 iTunes Download Available". The cycle continues when I delete it.
    This wouldn't normally bother me, but since it's a 2GB movie file (presumably somewhere on my system; not sure where, as I've searched with Spotlight). I'd like it off my system if it is, indeed, on my Mac.
    Any suggestions welcome.

    I'm having the same problem. I noticed this problem after I manually cleared out my system's cashe because of an unrelated issue. I let the movie download completely but at the end of the download it errors out because of a network connection failure... obviously that really is not the issue. When I try to play the movie I get a message that states "could not play rented movie "''" because it is authorized to play on a different computer or device." Now I have an entire movie that I can not play sitting in my itunes wasting space.

  • Rented movies will not transfer to ipad3

    I cannot transfer rented iTunes movie to ipad3.  rented two kovies - one transfers but will not open; other gets warning msage that computer is not authorized, even though I have authorized.  thank you

    I had a very similar problem. I had rented movies (more than one) and none would transfer to an iPhone. The movie or movies would appear to completely transfer, then I would get a message saying that the transfer had failed because "the movies had already been transferred to a different device". That wasn't true, and it's kind of ridiculous since once you transfer a rented movie to an iPod or iPhone it disappears from iTunes on the computer, ie it's not available to try to transfer a second time.
    HOWEVER, I think I FOUND THE PROBLEM. You say you were connected to the internet and your account was authorised in the iTunes store. BUT, was your COMPUTER authorised? It appears to be possible to authorise to your iTunes Music Store account from a computer than is not currently authorised. That was probably my problem. We'd swapped out a laptop a couple days ago, and had to "deauthorise all" the computers on our account. I had not yet reauthorised my desktop computer, and that's where the rented movies were sitting. As soon as I did authorise that computer the rental transfers proceeded normally.
    There's a bug or flaw in iTunes, though, because when the transfer fails iTunes shows that totally bogus :already transferred" error and provides no clue that the computer is not authorised and that that is the actual problem.
