I bought a movie in HD on my iphone and I need it changed to SD but...

I recently bought an HD movie on my Iphone. I wasn't able to even start download because the movie in HD is to much memory for my phone. I went back to the store and when I wanted to download it in SD I was able to switch my choice to SD but the buy button, which turns into a downloading sign when you are dowloading or on paused and you're not allowed to press it and in my case my download hadn't even started. I wanted to see if I could delete the download again and start over even if I had to buy it over again but I was never able to do that either.
I then went to my computer and downloaded the SD and HD version. I wanted to move the movie in SD over to my iphone, but the movie doesn't show up in the itunes sync movie section. I clicked the manual manage music check box  and it wouldn't let me add it. It was in my purchased playlist on my iphone and computer so maybe the computer already thought I had the movie but I was hoping it would see that one was SD and the other HD because I can't delete the movie dowload on my phone to start over and it would then change to SD because there was enough storage.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm stuck and I want my movie on my iphone lol

Movies are not always available for redownload.  Is there a reason why you deleted it instead of simply transferring the purchase to the computer and then removing it from the iDevice?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • I bought a movie from my ipad in itunes and it does not appear

    i bought a movie from my ipad in itunes and it does not appear. It is not inmoovies nor un the purchased items in the itunes app.
    when I plug in my pc macbookpro it shows in my moovies but with an asterisk in front and i can not view it

    - Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the movie? Settings>general>Restrictions
    - Is the movie compatible with the iPad? There are some 1080 P movies available that are not compatible with the iPad 2
    - On a computer log into your account and go to Purchase History to verify you actually purchased the movie.
    - What movie was it?

    Bought a movie via iTunes, tried playing it and was told that it "requires Quicktime, which this version doesn't support". Any suggestions? Also why does iTunes sell a movie which you then cant watch!!!

    Try restarting your iTunes in 32-bit mode, as per the following document:

    If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.

    Clear space on your iPhone (go to Settings > General > Usage) and complete the download there.
    If you rented the movie on your iPhone, it can only be viewed on your iPhone.

  • HT204161 I bought an IMac 27 on craigslist and I need to change the Apple registration to my name. How can I do it?

    I bought an IMac 27 on craigslist and I need to change the Apple registration to my name. How can I do it?

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • I bought an iphone and i want to change the billing name.

    i bought an iphone and i want to change the billing name.
    i want the billing name will be to: vahdat yehoshua'a.
    is it possible to send me a new receipt?
    thank you.

    Contact your Carrier Telco. If you are wanting to change the name on the purchase receipt then that cannot be done. Only a thief would attempt that, so I hope that is not what you are suggesting

  • I just bought a song from iTunes on my iPhone and accidentally stopped the download before it finished. How do I continue the download?

    I just bought a song from iTunes on my iPhone and accidentally stopped the download before it finished. How do I continue the download?
    It shows it in my music but is a light shaded grey. So I may not access the song. I tried repurchesing the song but iTunes won't let me.

        I had the same problem and solved it for myself, and I have a iphone 4s. I went to my songs and deleted the light grey songs then went to the itunes store, and selected more, then selected purchased. I scrolled down to the songs that were a light grey in my music, and pushed the download button ( icloud symbol with arrow on it) ,now my songs are successfully downloaded and ready to listen to any time!
