Can't play HD movies purchased from iTunes on Windows 7 without Internet connection

Purchased (not rented) Wreck-It-Ralph from iTunes and downloaded it to my local drive. I confirmed that the file is, in fact, in a local directory. However, when I pull up the move's details iTunes it states that the file is in iCloud. (Library > Movies > R-click movie icon > Get info > Summary tab > "Where iCloud".) Every time I try to play the movie, either by playing it from iTunes or by going to the file itself and opening it via iTunes, it won't play unless I'm connected to the Internet. And even then, there's still a long pause before playback actually begins. It almost looks like it's trying to buffer it.
If the movie file is taking up 3gigs of space on my computer (that's authorized to play content from iTunes), I expect to be able to take this video on the road.

You need to authorize your computer to play your
husband's songs, by putting in his iTunes account
info on your computer, (Not your computer's
password.) meaning his login and password of his
iTunes account.

He used my account to purchase the song.
If you did enter his iTunes account information and
the song still not playing it could because the
iTunes store is down for upgrading,

time.

That may be the problem - thanks!

  • How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes  on my TV using HDMI connection?

    I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable?   When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them.  I get the following error:
    "To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
    I used to be able to play them before but not anymore.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's due to the new update.  Is there a fix?
    Thanks,

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • Movies purchased from iTunes-What format?

    Does anyone know if movies purchased from iTunes store can be burned to a DVD and played in a DVD player? I'm thinking about buying some but I would like to play them on my 63" TV rather than my puter.
    Message was edited by: Igor_G5

    I know I can hook the puter up to my TV but then I also need to hook it up to my surround sound as well which would involve buying a bunch of adapters and cables which is more expense and inconvenience. And I don't have the convenience of the remote control. Seems to me that if I'm going to buy a movie for $15 I should at least be able to burn it to a DVD. I could go to the store and buy for that price or less. I just wanted to buy a movie so I could watch it tonight and I don't want to go anywhere. Besides, a lot of people on the forums have been saying that they can't get their MBP's to play through their TV's. Samsung seems to be the biggest problem and that is what I have. Doesn't give me much reason to buy from iTunes.

  • Movies purchased from iTunes to stream to LG smart TV from NAS via DLNA?

    Want to stream HD movies purchased from iTunes and stored on a WD NAS drive on LG smart TV (42LN578V)? Movies have standard iTunes DRM protection and so won't currently play on TV. Why is this not possible?! DRM or iTunes app for TV would offer sufficient protection for copyright holders surely? PC not up to job (so can't 'cast' to TV) and this would be a backwards step anyway. Must 'play' on TV in HD & 5.1. Is this not possible?!

    iTunes running on windows laptop by the way. Don't want this to have to be on in order to watch the movies. Can an Apple TV box be an 'authorised device' for use in playing iTunes movies and then stream them directly from NAS?

  • Is it possible to watch a movie purchased from Itunes without internet or an apple device?

    What do you want to watch it on?
    You need a computer (Mac or Windows) with iTunes, an AppleTV, an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.

  • HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • Can't download movies purchased from itunes on my ipad

    I have many movies purchased through iTunes store.  In the past I was able to download to my iPad to watch when out of wifi.  Now many titles, I cannot.  Previously, I downloaded Avengers and watched, now it won't. Why?

    I had the same issue and was able to fix it...  I went to settings / videos and turned on "show all videos". I did the same at settings / iTunes and App Store.  Then, when I returned to "videos", all of my purchases were there (took a second).  At that point I did NOT get the "watch" button...I DID get the "cloud" icon And was able to download.....
