quester, have you upgraded your iTunes version since the last time you bought/rented any video? Steph L. "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Apr 17, 2011 1:57:44 pm PDT

t edit It's a known issue that happens after upgrading -- the post I linked you to has a link to an Apple discussion about it, and suggestion for contacting Apple.

I just updated it a couple of days ago. I have't tried to watch anything for several months.

There's a we'll be back soon sign on the discussions page.

The upgrade is the problem. If the link to Apple in the post I linked above doesn't work, use this: [link]

I'm not tech-y enough to know *why* it's an issue, but it happened to me, and angry googling finally turned up that thread, which seems to address the exact issue. Upgrading shouldn't be a problem, but there's a ghost in the machine somewhere.

quester, did you see my post with a working link to the discussion?

I've just shot a request for help from Apple for that same problem--I'll let y'all know what they do for me when I hear back from them! (They promise a response within 24 hours.)

I did, Steph.

I read some of the posts and then just restarted my computer.

That worked. I don't know why, but I was able to watch the episode.

Dang, I wish it would have been that easy for me. Well done!
