Can't copy movies from itunes to iphone

Just today, and this has not occurred before, I am getting an error message when trying to sync movies from iTunes to my iPhone.  The error message: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including (movie name), were not copied to the iPhone because you are not aurhotirzed for them on this computer. 
I checked, and of course my computer has been and had been authorized on the iTunes account.  I've tried to deauthorize and then re-authorize the computer, still not working.
Is this a problem with iTunes, or a bigger problem that's occurred recently?  It sure isn't working for me.  Very frustrating.

iTunes Store Support has credited me for the purchase, but there clearly seems to be a problem here with the aurhorization process in iTunes Store.  I purchased and downloaded another movie, and sure enough -- same problem all over again.  This has only been happening in the past couple of days, never had a problem before.
Anyone else?  Here's a screenshot of the error message:

  • Can Not Copy Music From iTunes to iPhone

    OK, I have an album in iTunes that when I try and click and drag to the phone will not go. Why?
    Anyone can help it would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,

    If you want to manually manage music and videos, do you have this selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences?

  • Can't copy music from iTunes to iPhone

    "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone because it already contains all the songs in your iTunes library". I don't have ant music in my iphone, becouse i erased it to make more photos in my vacation. Now i have the memory required, but it doesn't copy.
    When i hit autofil, this is what i get .. don't know what to do.
    I tried to drag them manually in the "music" part of the iPhone, but doesn't work either

    Update:
    I saw that if u put new tracks in my "music" folder in iTunes, and try to copy them to my iPhone only the new tracks are being copied.
    And i don't get the  "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone because it already contains all the songs in your iTunes library" message
    So i changed all my tracks number ( select all -> right click -> get info and change something that's not so importing for all of them )
    After that, they are diferent so my itunes is copying them to my iPhone.
    Well, this it's not a christian way to solve this, but it's working.
    If anyone has better ideas..
    PS: my USB cable it's damaged ( it's not making the contact with my iPhone very good, so i'm afraid to re-instal my IOS until i buy a new cable )

  • HT204406 Can't drag songs from iTunes to iPhone

    Can't drag music from iTunes to iPhone. I get the circle with the slash through it.

    As far as I know you cannot drag & play from computer to iPods.  Read the instructions in - Adding and Deleting Songs and playlists from your iPod and iPod Manuals

  • Can't transfer movie from itunes library onto ipod

    I recently downloaded a movie from itunes onto my laptop. When I tried to manually drag the movie from the library to my ipod i got the following message" The ipod is currently linked to another itunes library. In order to copy the movie to this ipod, you must link this ipod with this itunes library. Doing this will remove 24 tv shows from this ipod. How can I get the movie onto my ipod without erasing the tv shows?

    Make sure "Manually manage Music and videos" box is checked under Summary tab.
    If the box is already checked and you are still not able to drag it over, highlight the video in movie library and go to iTunes menu ADVANCED and select "Create iPod or iPhone version".  Drag the newly created version over.

  • Unable to purchase tv shows or movies from iTunes using iPhone 5

    I am unable to purchase tv shows or movies via iTunes on iPhone 5 running iOS7. Can purchase songs, have plenty of space available on the device, and no issues purchasing tv shows or movies from iTunes using my computer. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Do you have the appropriate TV shows / Music Playlists checked in the corresponding tabs on the iPhone?

  • TS1398 Can't download movie from Itunes to Ipad.

    I have a new IPad and am trying to download my first movie from Itunes.  It takes all my account info and then won't download.  I thibnk my wifi connection is OK--I get mail and have downloaded a few games.

    Where are you physically located?  Although I haven't heard of specific instances, if you read the store terms of use they do reserve the right to use technologies to monitor your physical presence in the store's country when making purchases.  Even if you have a functioning US account, you are also supposed to be actually in the USA when doing the downloads.

  • How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

    I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro.  My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone.  We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone.  I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
    She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup.  can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"?  I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa?  I really just want to put my music on there.
    I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
    Thanks

    Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
    Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.

  • I can not copy songs from itunes on my iphone 4s.

    it works from laptop to iphone. but not from PC to iphone. both under windows. i have activated both computer. any idea?

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Can't sync home movie from iTunes to iPhone 4

    Whether I use Hand brake or Winx DVD Ripper to transfer my 6 min. home movie to iTunes, it will not transfer to my iphone 4. it does play in iTunes.
    I made sure to choose 640p and H.264 and still it wont transfer.
    I was suspicious with early attempts because, although they played in iTunes there was an icon under the movie (a cirlcle only half blue). This last time, pre-setting with 640p the movie had a fully blue circle (what does this mean?) and when I synced it actually said "syncing movie..." But, it did not appear in my photo album! I'm really frustrated, spending hours on this. Can anyone help?

    Holy crap you guys! I'm spinning with outstretched arms knocking stuff over jubilantly screaming "YESSS"! while you guys sit, spinning in your chairs saying "great we saved another idiot..."
    I was told my videos would appear in my photo album.
    Thank you. ThanK YOU! I need to go have some fun now. Wow, it looks great!
    Thanks again. Am I really an idiot...

  • Can't copy music from itunes on laptop to Iphone

    Ok so successfully managed to get some songs I downloaded from Itunes off my ipad on to my laptop, but just tried to then copy those songs from that library on to my iphone and it won't let me drag it across. The symbol with a red border and red line struck through it is showing. Any ideas?
    Also is there an easy way to just switch the country of Itunes store back and forth on your iphone as and when you need to? My iphone is set up to the UK store but I live in Australia and often the music that I shazam over here is only available in the Australian itunes store. That's the whole reason I ended up downloading those songs on my ipad in the first place. I bought it in Aus so it connects to that itunes store, but I want that music on my iphone. Help please.

    It was not checked...my guess is that this will fix the problem. Thank you!!

  • Can't copy files from iTunes to a folder on the desktop

    I posted this in the iTunes board and received no responses, so I'm wondering if it's more of an OS problem.
    I'm trying to clean up my iTunes library by taking out music I don't listen to that often. I created a folder on my desktop to store the music, should I decide to bring it back into iTunes in the future.
    When I select certain groups of songs and drag them onto the folder, they refuse to copy. Some copy no problem, but others just won't go in the folder. The green circle with the plus sign comes up and the folder is highlighted, but when I release the mouse button...nothing.
    Any idea why I can't copy the songs? BTW, none of the music is from the iTunes store, so it's not protected.
    1.5 Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I run into that problem periodically. Usually it is because one song file has the same title as another song file (for instance, Knockin' on Heavens door, one by Dylan and one by Clapton, would cause the copy failure). While iTunes has no difficulty, the Finder does, refusing to copy two "identical" items to the same location. Copy in smaller batches, so you can eyeball and make sure each item has a different name. When you run into duplicate names, copy one to another folder and rename it (I append the artist's initials), then move it into your other folder.

  • Cannot transfer rental movie from itunes to iphone

    I rented an episode of Glee Season 1 and want to transfer it from itunes to my iphone. I have the iphone 3gs-16gb running OS 4.2.1 Itunes will not transfer it to my phone telling me "it did not transfer this episode because it cannot be played on this phone." I checked the Apple discussions and it tells me that I need to convert the rental in Itunes under the "Advanced" tab - "convert this to iphone version". In my itunes - this option is not available. The available options are in black. The unavailable options are in light gray. This is a light gray option. Any help or ideas?
    This episode is HD. On other posts, people have mentioned an SD version of Glee but I cannot find any SD versions - only HD

    You cannot convert a rented movie to another format, so that option is not possible. And HD episodes can be played only on an iPhone 4, not on the 3GS. To find the SD versions, go to the Glee Season 1 page:
    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVSeason?id=314493878&s=14 3441
    and click on the Glee icon under "In Standard Definition". You should be able to rent the SD version there.
    Regards.

  • HT4095 Can I download movies from iTunes to my iPad and watch them on line as well in case I don't have my iPad with me.

    I have a 16gig iPad mini with latest iOS software.
    Please can anyone advise on the following.
    If I buy a movie on iTunes, can I download it onto my iPad and keep it there?
    If I then delete it, can I download it again free?
    If I do not have my iPad with me, can I watch it online through iTunes?

    The film will need to be downloaded in order to watch it, you can't stream it from the store. Whether you can re-download a film will depend upon what country that you are in and whether it remains in the store (studios occasionally remove them). You are better off keeping your own backup copy of all of your downloads rather that relying on being able to re-download from the store in the future (you can copy purchases from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)
    What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You can also get wifi-enabled drives which allow you to stream your content to your iPad, so not everything needs to be stored on it e.g. GoFlex Satellite (there are other makes as well).

  • Can't transfer movies from iTunes to ATV.

    I can download movies to my Pro and I can download movies to my ATV. But I can't move rented movies from the iTunes library on the Pro to the Apple TV.
    When I hit the Sync button I get this error;
    "Live Free or Die Hard" was not copied to the Apple TV because you are not authorized to play it on this computer"
    and it automatically sends it back to the library side.
    All my photos and home movies have sync'd up fine from iTunes to the ATV but rented movies will not transfer.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Choose Authorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes or play a purchased song, supply your account information, and sync the Apple TV.
