ITunes - syncing of movies in the cloud

I have 10 movies saved to the cloud, and currently 3 downloaded to my iphone.
Why is it that when I sync my iphone to my Macbook Pro (in iTunes), that iTunes attempts to download these movies to my hard drive?
What settings do I need to change, in order to tell my computer to not download the movies?
By the way, my MBP is a mid-2009 computer with 120GB of flash memory, with about 3GB available. Most of my memory is being used by my iPhoto library, music and applications.
Thanks,
Pat

I ripped a new CD to iTunes and backed up to the cloud. The songs are already on my iPhone 4S, but I can't get them on my iPad. I already connected the iPad to my laptop and selected "Sync with the iPad over Wi-Fi". On the iPad I forced a Sync. Help!

Hello Addymay2,
I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores. After this, close all open apps and restart your device. Once your iPad is powered back up, sign back into your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores.

How do I transfer a purchased iTunes movie to the cloud and free up the 5GB from my iPad?

I purchased a movie from iTunes using my iPad. How can I transfer that movie to the cloud and free up the 5GB from my iPad?

There is nothing to "transfer." The iTunes in the Cloud service is always-on. Simply delete the movie from the iPad and it will still be in your purchase history for re-download. However it is strongly recommended that you download all purchases to your computer and back them up locally as the iTunes in the Cloud service is not a backup service and should be relied on as such.
To find the movie in your purchase history in iTunes make sure you are logged in with the same Apple ID used to purchase the movie on the iPad.

I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?

My iTunes media folder shows ALL of my music still there (including all from imported CD's), but on my iTunes, it says most of it is in the cloud? As well as my playlists that I have had for YEARS, are all gone. I just recently got a new laptop and had my iTunes transferred over, when I re-downloaded iTunes onto it, everything popped up perfectly from this same file. Now after this "Temporary Profile" mishap, nothing is working properly with iTunes.
Help! Please.

Do this. If all the synced media like apps and music are alread in the the iTnunes library just backup the iPod and restore from that backup

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

No movies in the cloud

Recently Apple has given access to Canada movies in the cloud as of yesterday I do not have access. Is this a temperary problem?

Do not buy movies thinking it will be in the clouds, it's misleading, your movies can disappear.
Apple is only lying to us with their partner movie industry. I bought lots of movies, to then loose them because they were pulled from the iTunes Store. People if you decide to buy make sure you have a hard drive where you can download, as you can see, there is no movie in the iCloud.

01/06/12 I am waiting to have movies in the cloud. Has anyone heard anything??

I have bought a lot of movies from Itunes and lost them when I had to reinstall Windows 7. I did not take the time to make a backup and I am hoping Apple will put movies on the cloud. Has anyone heard any recent news about this and doesn't Apple realize that people would buy more movies if they didn't have to worry about losing them??

First of all - if anybody did know - they could not discuss it on this site since I'm pretty sure they would be violating a non disclosure agreement with Apple - if somebody actually knew. Any other knowledge would just be rumored or speculation and that is also prohibited on this site.
Not being able to redownload purchased movies has nothing to do with Apple not wanting to offer the feature. I'm pretty sure that It has to do with the movie studios not wanting to grant the rights to download the movies again at no cost. It really is a decision that must be made/approved by the movie studios.

How can I store movies in the cloud and access them from my devices?

Hello,
I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
Thanks,
Tyler

Unfortunately I don't use sugarsync myself, I have a dropbox account and it works slightly differently.
As I understand it you can upload files to a folder in sugarsync from your computer without having them sync to any of your devices. You can access that folder from any of your devices, and although you would need to download them in order to play the video file, you could then delete them without deleting the files in the sugarsync folder in the cloud.

Unable to sync my movies in the i tunes 11 library i try to add the mp4 video by using the add to library option but the movie does not sync while the music is syncing fine...

I had the same issue. What I did was save the movies on a thrid-party app like Download Manager Lite. Once downloaded, go back to itunes, go to your iDevice, go to apps and transfer the app, then scroll down and click on the app and from there you can send the movies to that app and WILL play. Can only hold up to 8 videos/movies (this is for iPod Touch 3G or better, iPhone 3s or better, iPad requires iOS 4.3 or better)
YES THIS APP SUPPORTS .mp4
From other ipod (nano, classic): I don't remember.
If your just putting them on iTunes, it should show and play on iTunes no problem.

HOW DO I STORE MY MOVIES IN THE CLOUD?

If they can be stored in the cloud, they're already there; only movies purchased from the iTunes Store can be put there, and this isn't available in all countries.

Movies in the cloud not working

Hi,
So... on and off today, the movies we've purchased from the iTunes store but left in iCloud are unplayable.
Actually, for a moment there they also disappeared. I did find a way to get them back. First, I had to go under the "View" menu in iTunes and "hide" and then "show" the movies again. Otherwise, there was no option in preferences to "show purchased videos..." in the iTunes preferences. That alone seems like a bug (if I didn't go through the view menu stuff, the preference choice to show purchased videos just wasn't there).
But now, I go into iTunes and I have to keep going in to preferences to RE-select to show purchased videos, otherwise I can't see the movies in the cloud. This is messed up. On our Mini, I can see them but they have no icon in itunes and when I try to push play they stall at zero. This is only the videos parked in the cloud that I'm talking about. And yes, the internet connection is working otherwise.
Has anybody else had a similar experience... and if yes, what to do?

Apologies, it appears I have posted this in the incorrect category. I have posted a duplicate under iTunes for Mac. Unfortunately i have no idea how to remove my original post.

Trouble downloading movies from the cloud to new pc computer (windows 8)

We just added our itunes account to a new computer and are trying to download our previously purchased movies from the cloud but they will not download. it keeps freezing. any suggestions?

Hello jarhna,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your downloading items you purchased from iTunes. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, but I did find an article that has steps to address the error you are getting:

Do you have to store songs locally before they will move to the cloud?

do you have to store songs locally before they will move to the cloud?

I agree, though yes, the question is not clear.
In the event you're asking if the songs have to be "local" meaning on an internal hard drive, the answer is a qualified "no."
You can have an itunes library on an external drive, but the drive has to be active when Match is running and it will also have to stay on in order for Match to work properly after that. You can get around this by creating a separate empty library once you have moved everything to the cloud, and populating that library with the songs in the cloud.
