Can't download Movies into Itunes or on my iPad

I bought 3 tv shows and then rented 2 movies. Only the tv shows would download directly to my iPad. Now I am having to download the movies directly into iTunes and then will try to sync to my iPad. I am pretty upset. This has been an all night problem and of course tech support is not 24/7. I am leaving for the airport in 1 hour and the movie I am trying to download is taking forever. I looked on the forums and it seems that everyone is having the same or similar problems. I am using iTunes 10 and there is tons of space of my iPad. Thanks for your help

Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you did not restrict it.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset home screen layout will return it to the home screen, but the screen will like like it did "out of the box".

Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection? We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
In both cases...
If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world. If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie. I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

Can't drop movie into iTunes

I have a AVI-movie. The video track is "Generic MPEG-4" and the sound track is "ATSC A/52 and AC-3 Decoder".
I can play the file with QuickTime-Player but can't drop it into iTunes library.
Whats wrong?

Video files MUST be in the right format to be used on video and iphone devices.
I was only able to get a few videos myself onto my player.
Google term "IPOD" video file format"

How do I get DVD movies into iTunes (and thus my iPad)?

I have a pc with Windows XP. How do I import my DVD movies into iTunes? Do I need to buy additional software? Or is my best bet joining netflix?
Thanks!

you can copy them for your own use.
Copying is not the issue. Breaking the encryption is.
But it's kind of a catch 22 in that you cannot copy a DVD unless you break the encryption.
in Europe it is not
Europe is not one country.
Most European countries have their own equivalent of the DMCA and it is illegal to break the encryption in some of these countries.

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).

I can't download movies from iTunes on my iPad!!!!

I go to films in iTunes and click on buy and nothing happens, when I re click on the buy button it tells me that I have already purchased the film but it has not downloaded and to manage it in the downloads file but there is nothing there. Please can someone help.

I have only downloaded one feature length film on my iPad and I did it at home using my home WiFi network. It went flawlessly and took about 90 minutes to download a 1.64 GB movie.
Maybe it was an authorization issue with your iPad. iTunes can get hinky about that kind of thing - especially with app downloads. Maybe connecting the iPad to your computer reset your iTunes authorization and let the movie start downloading again. I know that sounds bizarre but it can occur with third party apps that will not open. One of the common fixes is to download another app in order to reset your iTunes account authorization.
You should be able to see the download progress bar as the movie is downloading. My response was worded the way that it was because I didn't know if you started the download and left the iPad sitting somewhere for a few hours and when you came back - all you saw was the terms and downloads screen.

HT2729 how do i get the old itunes back as i can not put movies into itunes now that i have loaded the new itunes

i used to hold down alt whilst draging the movie into the menu at the left side of itunes now that menu is no longer there

the movie file now shows up in home videos within the movie folder so all my movies are in the movie file in itunes except the new ones now go into movie/home video itunes since i updated itunes
As implied above, if you do not use a metadata tagging utility and share or import your files directly to iTunes the new files are automatically tagged as "Home Videos" during the import process but you can still use iTunes to make them appear in the same directory as your other movies just as you always could chage their display directory. Simply...
1) select the "Movies/Home Videos" tab in the main window,
2) select any/all of the videos you want moved,
3) select the "File/Get Info" menu option (or press "Command-I") to open the "Information" window,
4) select the "Options" tab in the "Information" window
5) Select the "Movie" option in the "Video Kind" pop-up, and
6) Press the "OK" button to move all items selected in step #2 above to your "Movie" directory and close the "Information" window.
If you use a metadata tagging utility to add tags to your videos before import to iTunes, then pre-assign the "Movie" Media Kind tag to your files before import to iTunes. If you use a metadata tagging utility to tag files after import to iTunes, then manually set the "Movie" Media Kind option in that app and let it update the iTunes "Movie" directory. If the metadata tagging utility has not yet been updated to recognized files pre-assigned to the "Home Videos" directory, then manually tag the Media Kind in iTunes as described above before using the metadata tagging utility. If you don't like having iTunes automatically assign the "Home Videos" tag to untagged videos during import, then use the iTunes Product Feedback form to request an iTunes "Preference" enhancement option be added to the application allowing users to select a default "Media Kind" to be assigned to "untagged" video files during import.

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.

Can't download movie from iTunes Store!! Help!

I wanna buy a movie in iTunes Store. But when i clicked it, it said "must connect to Wi-Fi or have to download it on your computer" But the Wi-Fi connect is excellent. I shut the iTunes and reopen it, still doesn't work. Why? Need help!!!

This issue has been popping up with a lot of people for the last hour, I think the store must be down because it is not just you, I have not yet heard a response from Apple although I submitted the issue to support recently

Can't download movies on iTunes (Windows 7 Home Premium)

The other night, I realized a new fascination for movies starring Michael Cera. So, while lying in bed, I decided to download a few. Those to included Scott Pilgrim, Youth in Revolt, Nick and Norah, and Superbad. The downloaded went find on my iPhone 4, but when I tried to search for the the next morning on my computer - I couldn't find them. I ended up having to get them from my iPhone 4 to iTunes and everything seemed to have worked out fine. Now, whenever I try to play the files via iTunes on my computer, an error pops up stating the computer I'm using doesn't have authorization to play said file and to authorize the computer. By now I think I've unauthorized and authorized this computer maybe 60 times now. So I just went ahead and decided to just buy them again. I did do that, but now whenever I try to download them a "-50" errors pops up anywhere during the download stating that the download had to be stopped because I lost connection. Doesn't say what I lost connection to (iTunes, internet, etc), but just merely states that I have lost the connection. So I did some research and apparently this has happened before. A quickfix would be to just clear the created cache of each file, redownload them over again and it should work out. Well this didn't work .. it just kept erroring out in random/different spots everytime. I need some help. I go on a long plane ride in 2 weeks and I want to have my Michael Cera movies to watch. Thank you.
Robert

You'll need to describe your network. I don't know what a "windows based" home network is. Do you have a LAN? Or are you running a Windows server?
If you have a LAN, is your printer connected via wifi to your router or is it connected to a print server? Did you install the printer's drivers on your Apple computer? Is your printer getting an IP Address?

Can't drag movies into iTunes v8

or should I rather say, I can drag 'em, but the do not land there.
When dragging a .avi-movie in Vista, the thumbnail is shown, but the LIBRARY tab does not highlight, when dragging the movie over it (as it is, when dragging an MP3 there) Dropping the file subsequently does nothing. The iPod manual says iTunes supports all files supported in Quicktime, and the file in question plays fine in Quicktime...
Any idea would be appreciated.

Ah. Just updated iPod again and movie dragged in fine.
Odd how it should work for one and not the other.
I guess that could a "bug fix" that the update referred to?

How can I download movies in Itune

I have Windows Vista and I wanted to transfer DVD movies that I purchased outside to all my apple products( Ipad, Ipod,Iphone). How can I do that

The Movies or Tv episodes wil have the languages that are avialable listed in the Details for it. If they have a Spanish language track you can select it when you start to play the movie after downloading.
Alternatively, if you have an account for a store from a spanish speaking country, such as Mexico or Spain, you can download form there and you'll find more content in that language than in an English speaking country's store.

Even though you're getting a different error message number, 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:
