Bought retail movie, with digital copy, downloaded & watched, now what?
This is a question for my wife who actually uses an ipad. I collect movies and activate the digital copies into her / our itunes account. For the first time, she's now downloaded one and watched it on a flight. If she deletes the local copy, will it automatically go back to the cloud (recreate the cloud download symbol) for later viewing, or is there some special procedure that she must follow in order not to lose the ability to download it again or stream it again? Thanks.
If she was able to watch the movie on a flight - then that means that the movie is actually residing on the iPad. You don't have to do anything to watch it again other than to go to the Videos App and tap on the movie to start it again. If you downloaded the movie onto the device or synced it from iTunes after downloading it there, it is on the iPad.
If you want to be sure, go to the Videos App and look for it. If it does not have the cloud icon next to, then it's on the device, and not in the cloud. I don't know if you can download digital downloads again, so if she wants to delete it from the iPad, I would transfer it into iTunes before deleting it. Then she can sync it back later if she wants to watch it again. I have two movies that had digital downloads. I downloaded them in iTunes and synced them to the iPad and I have the movies safely stored in my iTunes Library on my. Mac.

Quick edit. Apparently you can download digital downloads again. Take a look at this. I just found it.

Movie or Digital Copy Download Problems
Hello everyone! I have a problem when downloading movie or digital copys here is a Cature of the error I get. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank You!Using iTunes 11 on my Mac and having problems too. I'm not getting an error message however.
When I enter the code, I am prompted for my Apple ID/password, which I enter, but nothing happens after that. I've also had iTunes ask me for my password repetedly even after entering it, with no sucsess in downloading the file.

Bought iTunes Essentials that didn't download. Now what?
I purchased an iTunes Essentials collection. It seemed to be downloading correctly when I checked on it, but I can't find it anywhere in my Library. On my account, it shows that I paid for the tunes and downloaded them, but I didn't get them.
Now what?
Thanks,
Kikithanks, K...
I hunted a little more into my Library, and I have found all the songs in the Collection. They don't show up in my Purchased folder, however. And it's annoying to have to go back and find each one and put it in a Playlist myself. I thought that was what I was getting...oh well, live and learn...
Thanks,

I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: " you must insert your digital copy dvd in this computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is in. WTH? This is especially with FOX movies, I never have trouble with Universal Picture movies.
Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it -
I just purchased the hunger games on blu-ray with digital copy. when I try to download the HD digital copy it gets to about 80% compete then stops with a download error (-50). What is that how do I fix?
Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

<Personal Information Edited by Host>No the codes are for Disney movies and DigitalCopyPlus. ITunes is a vendor option but when I try to download with the iTunes option it sends me to the instructions for iTunes redemption and then I keep going in circles. I've never had any issues in the past with these.

MacBook Air w/o DVD drive = No Digital Copy Downloads?!
I have a Mar/12 11" Macbook Air.
I recently decided that I would transfer all of my movies to digital and download the digital copies to my hard drive. Even though I have the proper (and unused) code, the instructions say I have to insert a disk first.
This is kind of a problem since MacBook Airs do not have a DVD/CD drive.
How am I supposed to download/unlock my purchsed movies from iTunes without a DVD drive? Suggestions? Or am I screwed? I really don't want to fork over $80 or so to get a DVD drive.
TIA
PS I would like to add that I have zero problems downloading movies straight from iTunes. I am only having problems with transfering the authorized digital copies that are included with the DVD/Blu-Ray purchase.It depends on the method the movie distributor uses for the digital copy. If they provide just a code, you redeem that code in the iTunes Store and the movie will download. If the copy is on a disk in the package and you use the code just to validate, then you will need a DVD drive. If you have another computer with a DVD drive, Remote Disk may work, though I haven't tried it. Or you can redeem the copy on another computer and copy it to your MacBook Air. Otherwise you will need to purchase a DVD drive, either from Apple or another manufacturer.

Blu Ray digital copy downloads audio issues.
I have the Apple TV 2 and love it but I have a few movies that I got from iTunes as digital copy downloads from buying a bluray disc that the audio doesn't stream to the tv. It's a crackling static sound.
Plays fine on computer and on iphone but not to tv. Have other films I have received this way that play fine. Did I get a bad download or is it something else?
ThanksCan you try changing the audio track - maybe it's ouputting dolby digital and the TV can't handle it.
Also turn off Dolby Digital out in the Settings menus.
Might be worth you mentioning the film, or checking iTunes reviews on the film to see if there are known issues. -

Hi i was living in australia for a while and bought some stuff with the australian itunes. Now i'm back in the uk i cant re-download them. Can anyone help?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. -

I received a message from iTunes that an error occurred while transferring my movie from digital copy. The movie does not show up on my iPad under purchased.
How did your movie get to iTunes originally? For example, did you purchase it in the iTunes Store? If so, was it purchased using the same Apple ID as your iPad uses?

I have an IPhone 4 which I just updated with the latest software, which put in it in Recovery Mode. It has the picture of the plug with ITunes, I downloaded it now its saying its in Recovery Mode, how do I save all of my previous data without Restoring?
I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....
