Bought films from iTunes on my laptop but cannot sync it on to my ipad2

I bought movies from iTunes on my Sony Vaio laptop but finding it difficult to sync it with my ipad2.Also a movie I downloaded from iTunes on my ipad2 was synced with my laptop but has now disappeared altogether from my ipad2 and can only now be watched on my laptop.Any useful tips on how to get it back on my ipad2?

The movie should have transferred to the iTunes library when you synced with iTunes. To ensure that purchases do transfer, when you are connected to your computer and iTunes is running, right click on the iPad name under devices and select - Transfer Purchases. You can also go to the iTunes menu at the top and go to File>Transfer Purchases.
When you sync with iTunes you must select all of the items that you want to sync to the iPad. Make sure that you have the heading - Sync Movies selected (put a checkmark in the box next to the heading) and do the same for the movies (put a checkmark in the box next to the names of the movies).
On the iPad - from your home screen - swipe to the right and the search feature will pop up. Type in the name of the movie and see if it appears. Tap on the movie if it shows up and it should start playing. Let it play for a short period and then tap - Done. Then go back to the Videos App and see if it appears in there now.

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
Any suggestions very welcome!

HT2534 I downloaded books from itunes to my computer but cannot transfer them to my iphone?

I downloaded ibooks and then purchased books from itunes. They show up in my itunes account on my computer but when I try to sync the books to my iphone all it shows is that they are downloading. They have been downloading for 2 days. What am I doing wrong?

That is correct.
ibooks are for ipod/ipad/iphone, NOT your computer.

I've bought music from iTunes and but it doesn't appear in music app.

I've bought music from iTunes and downloaded it but it doesn't appear in music app. Also, music I sync from computer to iPhone doesn't show up in music either? Please help!!
The device is an iphone 5 and its got all the latest software downloads etc.

Region Code 4:
Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.

Apparently my first response was off in left field. The DVD player has its own code. My recommendation is to change the code when it asks. It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code. If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

HT204370 my screen is freezing regularly when I try to watch a movie I downloaded earlier from itunes to my laptop

I downloaded a movie earlier today from itunes to my laptop but the movie and screen are freezing regularly, then catching up with itself, only for it to happen again 20 secs later. I've checked with my broadband provider and they advise that my speed is 17mps. Help!!

I would start by turning home sharing off in iTunes and then turning it back on. Next I would stop sharing on the apple TV and share again.
Make sure the mac that hosts iTunes is awake when the apple TV tries to connect.

Did you fail to back up your purchases?
If so, then they are gone.

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).
