Can't see movie downloaded from iTunes on iPads

Hi. I purchased two movies from iTunes via AppleTV, then downloaded them to my iTunes library. I can see and play them on my computer, but they don't show up in the "shared" tab of the Videos app on either of our two iPads. I've tried force-quitting and restarting the Videos app, turning the iPad on and off, and resetting the iPad; I've quit and restarted iTunes on the computer. Nothing has helped.
All the other movies in the library appear, including others I've purchased and downloaded from iTunes, but not the ones I downloaded today.
Running OS X 10.8.1, iTunes 10.6.3, and iOS 5.1.1.
Help?
Thans.

Ah. iPad 2 can't play 1080p content. Got it. Sorry for the noise.

How do I play protected movies downloaded from ITunes to Ipad then on TV?

I recently brought an Apple product: IPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, and also a High-res S/VGA cable....Thinking i could connect my Ipad to my TV and play the movies I brought from ITunes, but no it says they are protected MEG-4, so they will not play on my TV, WHY??? Wouldn't that be one of the first reasons for buying such a cable, it seems unfathomable to me, I cannot understand, what a waste of money. I get all my movies from ITunes.

The following says:
Additional Information
iTunes Store movies (SD and HD) and TV shows (HD) require an HDCP digital connection. If you attempt to play this content using the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, an alert will appear to let you know that an HDCP-compatible device is required. To view iTunes Store content, do one of the following:
Sync the SD version of the TV show
Use an Apple Component AV cable to play the HD version at 480p
Use an Apple Composite AV cable to play the HD version at 480i
Attempting to play rental content on a device that requires an HDCP digital connection may start the rental timer. Use one of the recommended Apple AV cables to view your rental before the time limit expires.

Cant play movies downloaded from Itunes

I have 2 issues.1. I can't play movies downloaded from Itunes. It says that format is not supported. What can I do?2. I bought the WDTV three weeks ago. ABC Iview no longer supports WD products as of July 1. Not happy. Can anyone help?

Page 88 in the User Manual Note: The media player does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from the iTunes® Store, Cinema Now, Movielink ®, Amazon Unbox™, and Vongo® http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705123.pdf You're correct about iView ... (I guess WD can't take the blame for that one) http://iview.abc.net.au/support/announcements oh well, i can still watch it on my PC, Chromecast, PS3 and Tablet and Phone

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

I have an ipad2. PLEASE can anyone tell me if I can watch a movie purchased from iTunes without wifi (after I have downloaded the movie and hit play while connected). My husband is going for chemotherapy and the hospital does not have wifi.

Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

Movies download from itunes, but when download finishes, there is no movie among my video selections--like it either is hiding or was downloaded somewhere else.

Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

Can TV show episodes downloaded from iTunes be converted?

Can TV show episodes downloaded from iTunes be converted for my non-ipod mp3 player? It's made by Creative Zen and does have a video converter to get files into the right format, but is there something about iTunes TV episodes and their encoding that would prevent this?

In answer to the 2nd part of your question,yes, the files are protected which make them only compatible with iPods, iPhones, etc.

Can not get movies purchased from iTunes to my computer

Can not get movie purchases from iTunes to my computer

Is the manually manage music and videos option still selected from under the iPod's Summary tab? What happens when you try to drag files over to your iPod Classic?

How can I see Ipod download on iTunes. (It syncs but I do not see the synced data)

How can I see IPOD download on iTunes after syncing. The data syncs but is not visible on computer screen

For example, when I sync the contents of my address book to the computer using itunes, shouldn't I be able to see what content was transferred to itunes? When my calendar is synced shouldn't I be able to see on iTunes the events that I added to my IPOD?

Can't transfer purchased music from itunes to ipad

I can't transfer purchased music from itunes to ipad 3 "because file could not be converted".

Which file format? We can't see which files you have from here.

Issue playing movies downloaded from iTunes on TV when linked to computer via HDMI cable.

Recently I purchased the advance digital copy of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as it was it was released just in time for moving some people into another state; we planned to watch it when we rested for the day. After hooking my windows 7 laptop up to a Samsung flatscreen TV using an HDMI cable, iTunes refused to play the movie. It would play when the computer was disconnected from the TV, and the same error would appear when reconnected. The error stated that I had to be connected to an "HDCP compatible device."
Is this some way of iTunes forbidding me from watching movies downloaded from their service when connected to an exterior device? My computer has no issues playing other content, such as netflix, when connected to a TV.
For me it's pointless to buy movies now from iTunes; I feel like I've wasted $20. Why on earth would I want to sit in front of a computer to watch it when there's a TV five times the size available?

Hello happylilvampyr,
Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of HDCP support provided by the TV in use. More information regarding HDCP can be found in the following article.
iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3354
As an alternative, you can always download the movie in standard definition, which will allow for viewing on non-HDCP devices.
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page. Learn more about downloading previous purchases.

Can't play Movie Trailers from iTunes Store!

I am wondering if anyone knows why I cant watch free movie trailers on the iTunes Store? It follows as far as letting me choose the size of the trailer cilp I want to watch but after that nothing loads up! the top half of the page is blank! Also I can't watch movie trailers from the apple website through the quicktime option. Yes, I do have Quicktime. Please Help.

I figured it out, it was just that I needed to upgrade my Quiktime player. Quicktime 7 and I can watch all the movie trailers!!

I can't sync movies (BOUGHT from iTunes) to my iPod nano!

Any movie I buy won't sync. I have another movie from my computer that worked after i converted to mp4. Mp4s work but not m4vs
Midway the sync it stops and I get an error.
"Attempting to copy to the disk "My iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I get this error at different times. The first time i attempted to put it on, it went 2 cm. The last time it went almost halfway.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Luke

I have the same problem. Movies and tv shows downloaded from itunes will not work if they are longer than 25 minutes. The guy at the 14th st Genius bar said that all is well with both computer, nano and software so "we're calling it a usb problem". Do you have an older model mac or pc?

Can't watch HD movie downloaded from iTunes, only color lines come up!

I rented an HD movie from iTunes Store and when I try to watch it only color lines appear. My computer has all requirements to download and watch HD movies.
Why does this happen? Is there any solution?
Thank you!

It's astonishing that this problem still exists. The same occurs with the 1st gen AppleTV.
Upload a movie from an iPhone 4 (in my case) it will appear on me.com in a browser, show up in an iPhoto sync, but not appear on the AppleTV. And, by the posts above it's still going on for the 2nd gen.
MobileMe is a PAID service. Is the team that works on MM asleep most of the working day?
It's so inconsistent. Don't give us the facility to upload from the phone if all the pieces are not in place.
I only have MobileMe for this reason, getting video and pics to the Apple TV quickly for the kids to see immediately. Heaven knows why I continue to pay now that another part doesn't work.
Don't get me started on the piece of junk that is iDisk!!
