Purchased Movie From iTunes Won’t Play on iPhone, Only Will on Macbook Air

I bought a movie from itunes a few months ago and i was able to watch it on my iPhone for a little while, then a few days ago I wanted to go back and rewatch it on my iPhone but it wouldn’t play and it kept bringing up a message that said “There’s a problem loading this content.” I can only watch this movie on my computer. Also, this doesnt happen with any other movie that i’ve purchased. Someone please help! Thanks

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Hello Pollyplummer07


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


"If the movie or TV show won't start playing


After each step, try to stream or download the movie or TV show again.

  1. Check the System Status page for service interruptions or check a third-party provider's website for any interruptions. If there are service interruptions, try to stream or watch the video later.
  2. If you're having trouble signing in with your Apple ID, you can reset your Apple ID password or learn how to get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication.
  3. If your cellular connection is poor, connect to Wi-Fi instead.*
  4. Try watching on a different device using the same Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If it doesn't work, contact your internet service provider to see if there's an issue with your network.
  5. If other people are using Apple TV+ or Apple TV channels, make sure it doesn't exceed the limits for streaming on multiple devices."

Good Luck!
