movie rental problems Apple TV

Hi, same problem here!

I watched World War Z (rental) until the last 20 minutes, then went to menu and now I get the same message. Never had that problem before. Clicking on rent again give the message to go to settings and download it. Using the "check for rentals" button in settings just load forever without any results.

PS: 24h rental period was still running, so it's not that.

How can I fix this?

I have the same problem. Rented movie for my son last night. We watched half of it now I cannot see it under movies and it does not show up under check for rentals.

Needs to be resolved.

We have the same problem. Nothing seems to work. We've tried a hard reset, restart within the apple tv itself. I've tried to find the rental on my iMac, iPad etc. so I can stream it back to my apple tv - but nothing. The money has been taken from my account, and it shows on my itunes purchase history, but I've only managed to watch 60 mins of a 2 hour film!!! FFS

I emailed what I thought was person at apple and got the iTunes dude instead. He refunded my purchase but could not help with the answer as to why we cannot access movies. Gave me these contacts. I am emailing

I have apple support online and let them now several of us have this problem. He suggested signing out of iTunes and back in which I have done already prior to the call in addition to trying to reset device which Quinta had already tried above. I informed him that none of these things work and that several of us feel it is related to update. He was at a loss and said he would investigate with his superiors and get back to me. Will keep you posted.

I've just had a new update (I already had one a few days ago) appear on my apple tv (3rd gen). It took approx 10 mins to do its thing, but it hasn't solved the problem. I'm not sure what the update was for.

Just a final FYI, I logged out of iTunes, iCloud, and then did a hard reset. I've now rebooted and logged back into iTunes and I suddenly have my rental back. Hope this helps guys

Thanks Tom. I see there is another update as you suggested. I will try the same.

Good luck. Hope it fixes things

Thanks. It worked for us..

Same issue with me. World War Z. Stopped about midway through. When I go to Settings and iTunes Store it just sits there and loads and loads and loads...

Me too.

Updated

Signed out of iTunes and iCloud

Unplugged Apple TV and waited 30 seconds

Everything back to normal!

Why is it that Apple cannot answer these questions themselves?
