No, your purchases aren't stored on an Apple server that you could access from any computer. You can only download them once. You would have to transfer it to your computer. You can burn your purchases to data DVDs (they won't play in a DVD player) or use an external hard drive.

  • Rented a Movie in iTunes on iMac, but want to watch it with AppleTV

    I rented a movie in iTunes on my iMac. But now, I would like to watch this movie with my AppleTV (newest generation).
    Following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 this should be possible:
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    But what are the steps to get in running on my AppleTV?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Adrian

    Sorry, what I was attempting to clarify was this:
    You can rent the movie on your desktop but in order to watch it on your ATV you will have to turn on Home Sharing and download the movie to your desktop, only then will the rented movie appear on your ATV under Home Sharing.
    Either this is a flaw in the software or part of a copyright arrangement. If you purchase a movie, then it will appear under Movies > Purchased on the ATV, for some reason rentals do not. If this is software related then it should be fixed at some point. Although the original thread is from over a year ago, the problem persists. Renting on the ATV directly is not optimal since the file is not transferable to any other device, presumably b/c there is no file? But that shouldn't matter. All that should matter is: this Apple ID purchased this item > it should be available on all devices associated w/that Apple ID.

  • HT2729 I have downloaded a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy aga

    I have download a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy again ?

    Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
    If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
    You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like.

  • HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

    Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

    I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

    Hello there,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to sync music to your iPhone, you will need to use iTunes on your computer, and then follow the directions in the article linked to below.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie on my I phone 5 but want to watch on I pad 2...

    I rented a movie on my I phone 5 but want to watch on I pad 2...How can I ? If I can not I will only rent through Amazon. 

    I don't think that Apple have said why it's liked that, but from the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV).

    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    If you had downloaded it on your computer you would have been able to move it between your computer and devices

  • Hi, we trialed from central and have bought the plus version but have still been charged for another month of the trial. Would you be good enough to refund the charge please considering we have bought the main product?

    Hi, we trialed from central and have bought the plus version but have still been charged for another month of the trial. Would you be good enough to refund the charge please considering we have bought the main product?

    After much back and forth drama, and the assistance of one awesome person at Apple, and also a great iTunes representitive, they have agreed to refund me.
    I have not yet recieved the refund but will post here when I do.
    This has been a long and drawn out headache, but I am glad that finally things seem to be set straight.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:

    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts

    Sorry, but there is no help possible. Movies rented on an iOS device cannot be transferred to your computer. You'll need to watch the movie on your iPhone, or rent it again via your computer.

  • I have made a bootable copy of ML and want to load it on another laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install.

    I have made a bootable copy (8GB thumb drive) of ML and want to load it on another Apple laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install. I know ML is comptible.

    I'm getting an error message when ML is almost completely installed and it stops the install. Is there any way to get back to the snow leopard operating system and scrap the ML install at this point. I had to shut the Mac book off and when I started again it tried to install ML a second time. It is still trying to install but at this point I don't want to screw anything up any further so just want to get back to SL.
    Any suggestions.
