Activating a digital copy of a movie purchased overseas

Hi
I am currently visiting family in New Zealand and have received a blu-ray film as a Christmas present. Included is a 'Digital Copy' of the film, but when I try to activate it in iTunes on my MacBook by entering the unique activation code, I get this messaage: This code is only valid for customers of the Australia or New Zealand Store.
My account is linked to the UK Store, and as a result it seems iTunes won't let me access the movie even though I'm in the country of purchase and the copy belongs to me.
Does anyone have any ideas??
Many thanks and Merry Christmas

First covert it to ipod format (if its not) then go in itunes,click on videos drag it in there....after that plug in your ipod then click on your ipod on itunes, then click videos in the ipod tab then click sync all han sync it
I hope this helped

HT1725 Problem with downloading "iTunes Extras" from digital copy of a movie purchase

When I downloaded a digital copy of Despicable Me 2 I saw the movie and the separate "iTunes Extras" downloading. However, it seemed to get stuck on "processing". After restarting the "extras" have disappeared. Any way to get them back?

It will depend upon if the rights-holder keeps the film in your country's store, but you shouldn't rely on being able to do so - you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup copy of all of your downloads from the store, you are only guaranteed one download of each item.

HT204370 Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source downloaded to?

Can movies obtained via 'digital copy' with a DVD purchase be downloaded again for free if the movie is deleted from the source (e.g., Macbook Pro) downloaded to?

I'm running Windows 7 RC on my iMac. This was downloaded from Technet when it was available. The disk image I downloaded was then burned to a DVD-RW for the installation.

HT1725 error when I downloaded a digital copy of a movie (error 8328)

While downloading a digital copy of a movie from Universal website, download was interrupted.
When I try to resume, I get error message 8328 "An unknown error occurred (8328) Please check the connection to the network & retry"
How do I fix that??
I tried to go to Universal but it says that the Authorization Code was already used.
HELP!

Hello, tomyango.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Since a Digital Copy download is attached to your Apple ID, the best option would be to delete the movie that is giving you an issue and redownload it via the iTunes Store past purchase option. I have included a couple articles that will show you how to process these steps.

Download past purchases

If this does not resolve the issue, then iTunes might need to be notified to let them know there is a problem with the content. I have included the steps on how to let them know.

How do I find the digital copy of a movie I just redeemed if it is not listed with my movies?

How do I find the digital copy of a movie I just redeemed if it is not listed with my movies?

I just liked them all right now.
Thanks. So yours only shows one cover movie poster too then. That is what mine shows.
When you say this:
based on whether I've got HD selected or not, e.g. my iPhone shows the SD size, but my iTunes based on whether I've got HD selected or not, e.g. my iPhone shows the SD size, but my iTunes (computer) shows HD.
Do you mean when you have your phone selected on the summary page as you instructed above vs.... what selected for your itunes/computer showing HD?

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Trying to download Digital Copy of a movie

Ok well I bought a new movie which came with a digital copy of the movie, for some reason I can not get to the web page to put the code in. I have a internet connection, and it will work on a dell. Is there any reason or another way to do this.

It might be a problem that the website doesn't play well with Safari. Try using a different browser like Firefox or Camino and see if you have better luck.

Will iTunes transfer a digital copy of a movie in Windows Media Player?

Thanks for any help. I've done searches but can't find the info.
Merry Christmas,
LadyLaurent

Is there anyone who knows the answer to this?? I really need to get these digital copies done because we are traveling tomorrow and I need these for my kids.
Thanks for any quick help I can get,

HT2729 I just registered my digital copy of a movie to my iphone IOS, how can I see it on iPhone??

I just registered my digital copy of a movie on IOS. How can I watch this movie??? Lost

you can import that file in itunes, verify it plays, then attempt to sync to ipad with itunes. I have had limited success, cause some of the versions will not transfer.

TS3297 I am unable to redeem a digital copy of a movie i purchased. itunes keeps saying timed out, try again, no matter how fast I enter the redeem code. itunes help/support is rubbish.

I have bought a Movie (20th century fox dist) with a digital copy i can download to itunes. everytime i try to redeem the code, itunes say's "session timed out, try again", no matter how fast I try. itunes help/support is no help. anybody had a similar problem and resolved?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

I recently purchased Star Trek into Darkness on Bluray in the UK. When the digital copy with the movie had finished downloading in iTunes, it said processing and then iTunes suddenly stopped working and I had to shut it down. Now I can't see it at all.

Can any one help as the digital copy downloaded but was processing when iTunes froze and then I had to shut it down. I have the latest version and am using iTunes on a windows PC. I would imagine similar problems could arise on download processing if there was a power cut so surely iTunes knows that my ID has redeemed the movie and it will continue now?
Can anyone help?

I forgot to add that when I looked at the store for available downloads it only continued to download the movie extras which is only 69MB of menu items and no movie content.

Incomplete download of a digital copy of a movie

My computer shut down as I was redeeming a digital copy, now my iTunes says my code has been redeemed but the movie is not in my library. Any advice?
I am currently using Windows 8 with iTunes 11.0.4.4

Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and select that. You may find the movie there to be downloaded. If not, check the Purchases area of the iTunes Store and you may be able to download the missing movie there:

If not, go here:

to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Why can't I find a digital copy of a movie?

I supposedly used a digital copy code of a movie I purchased. Bluray/Digital Copy DVD
I look for it in my iTunes library and it is not there, yet if I try to enter the code, it tells me I have already used that code.
Where did my digital copy go?

Forgive what may be a dumb question in my part, but you have confirmed that the digital copy is for iTunes, not Ultraviolet as some DVDs use instead, and that you're clicking the correct link if there's a choice? Just want to make sure.
If you're sure it's for iTunes, what movie is it? Just about all digital copy offers have an expiration date, though the movie studios usually won't tell you about that up front, so if the movie is on that was released more than a year or so ago, it's possible that the offer for the movie you have has expired.
Regards.
