Hello SamKirk1990.


Thanks for your post to Apple Support Communities. We understand you aren't able to play a purchased item on your iPad and are receiving an error. There may be a few reasons for this.


If you are trying to watch something in the Apple TV app on the iPad, start with these steps:


If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app


If the movie was purchased/rented from another service, check with that provider's support. We'd also recommend these other steps to get it working:


  • Restart the iPad
  • Test the connection with another network
  • Restart your router
  • Close the app being used to view the movie (Quit and reopen an app on iPad)
  • Check for app updates
  • Delete, then reinstall the app


All the best.
