Auto-downloading Movies and TV shows not working

I have two Mac minis running iTunes 11.3 under Mavericks 10.9.3, each is logged in to a different iTunes Store account but otherwise setup the same. They as mentioned are logged in to iTunes Store accounts, and in Preferences I have set them both to "Always check for available downloads", "Download pre-orders when available" and ticked "Automatic downloads - Music". I have not ticked the "Automatic downloads - Apps".
There is no specific option to do "Automatic downloads - Movies" or "Automatic downloads - TV Shows" however supposedly the Music option should cover these as well.
Neither Mac is automatically downloading Movies or TV Shows, based on a suggestion elsewhere I have tried having "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" enabled and not enabled, this made no difference.
I do have iTunes running all the time because it is acting as a home-sharing server for a set of Apple TV boxes.
Is the problem that this automatic downloading only happens after relaunching iTunes?
Manually downloading by clicking on the cloud icon does work. Purchases may be made either on one of the Apple TV units, or on another signed in computer. The purchases are recognised by the Mac minis as when "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is turned on the new purchases as listed but not automatically downloaded. Using "Check for Available Downloads" in the Store menu does not cause it to download these new items either.
The Mac minis are authorised for their respective iTunes Store accounts.

Hi John,
Automatic downloading does not apply to Movies and TV shows, but does apply to music and other content. See this article -
iTunes 10.3.1

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does it take so long to download movies and tv shows from itunes

I can download songs pretty quickly from itunes, but movies and tv shows take anywhere from 12-24 hours. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

If you are downloading at work more than likely your bandwith is being throttled by your company. If your using a Mac, download a little utility called "MenuMeter" It runs in the menu bar and will display your connection speed.If your on a windows machine similar utilities are available as well. Once you find out what your speed is.it'll be much easier to trouble shoot!

Downloading movies and TV shows

How do you download free movies and TV shows to rent onto an iPod Touch? I can't find it in iTunes...

When I try to sync tv shows to my Ipod touch I'm only given options such as "most viewed" "most recent" "least 3 watched" etc. Is there a way to pick exactly which TV shows I upload when syncing. Thanks
_Apologies..this shouldn't have been a response but a new post._

mountain lion download interrupted and resume button not working

From the App Store menu bar top of your screen, click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
You may need to temporarily disable anti virus software to download apps from the App Store including Mountain Lion.
Make sure your Mac qualifies to run Mountain Lion > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

Is it possible to transfer downloaded movies and tv-shows to iTunes?

I´m considering to buy the apple tv, but before making the purchase, I need to make sure that it won´t be a waste. So the question is: Is it possible to transfer my tv-shows and movies downloaded using utorrent, to iTunes, or in any other possible way to watch them on my TV via Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't transfer from the Apple TV, nor do you need to compromise your security with using third rate file sharing programs. You can redownload any content you purchase from iTunes on any device at any time.

well, i'm afraid that if you did not back up your purchases (as you are encouraged by Apple), they are gone. click here for information.
however, you may want to contact Apple through the iTunes music store link. you can try to explain the situation to them (via a web form), and they may send you a notice allowing you to re-download your purchased content
good luck !

H.264 .mov and netStream.seek not working

When working with MOV files using the h.264 codec and AAC sound I am unable to get netStream.seek to work correctly. No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0.
I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flvs work perfectly on both players.
Any ideas on how to fix this?!
Thanks

Have you checked if the moov atom is at the beginning of the file?
It happens a lot when doing H.264 files.
Check this blogpost for more information as well on how to fix it.

I have an older MacBook Pro I tried to download icloud and it's not working

I have an older MacBook Pro. It came with MobileMe installed but I never activated the MobileMe account. Do I need to upgrade to OSX Lion? Is there an icon/app that needs to be downloaded to my Mac to be able to sync iPhones/iPad to the Mac. THANK YOU!!

Should I be able to see my movies and tv shows because of itunes match?

I purchased iTunes match, and at first I could see my downloaded movies and tv shows on my devices. However I cannot see them anymore. I do not know if this is a setting in iTunes match or a different setting that changed?
Any ideas?

iTunes Match is for music only (and music videos purchased from the iTunes Store). Other video content is not supported.

How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.
