How to stop iTunes purchased movies from downloading.

I have a MacBook Air with limited memory...
I want to purchase movies on iTunes and leave the movies in iCloud. I don't want my purchased movies to download to my Mac but they continually attempt to download. How can I stop this permanently?

Launch iTunes.
Select Movies on the left.
That where it should be.
Best to not move purchaseed iTunes content from your iTunes library.
If you don't see the movie in the movie section, you can re download for free using the same Apple iD.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do i stop movies from downloading to my ipad 2

I just got a new iPad 2 and I wanted to download all of my movies from my iPad 1 through the cloud. Unfortunately I pressed more than one movie to download at the same time, and nothing is happening after numerous hours of attempted downloading except a message that says I can't download at this time and I need to retry (which I've done, to no avail). Is there any way to stop these movies from downloading? I want to cancel them all so I can try downloading them one at a time. I've pressed the pause button, by there is nowhere to actually "cancel" a download that I have found so far. Anyone know the answer?

Selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
Here is a link to the iPad user guide.

It should be in the Movies part of your library - if you select Movies, then is there a Rentals tab on it with that film in it ?

You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.

i cant transfer a rented movie to my iphone

Hi, JM,
Make sure you're following the procedure outlined here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
If you are, can you successfully download other content or apps from the iTunes Store and sync them to your iPhone? If you can and it's just the rental that won't transfer, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

How do i transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account?

How do I transfer a rented movie from my user account to my wife's user account? I sync my iPad with my user account and she sync's her iPad with her user account, but she wants the movie I downloaded onto her iPad. (We use the same apple ID).

Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music." - e.g. adding music from a second computer to an i-device.
Hold on. I don't know if the above will work with a rented movie. There's all kinds of restrictions on what you can do with rented movies.

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

How can I delete a watched rented movie from my Ipad before its expiration date?

Hello, K M Cartwright.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You definitely can delete the movie prior to the expiration date. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it. Here are the steps on how to delete iTunes media.

Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
Thanks!

If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad. The screenshot below is from Here

HT1657 Once a rented movie is downloaded do I need an Internet connection to view it? For example can I download a movie and watch it on a flight?

Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

It says
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.
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.

We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change?

We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away. Now it takes hours. Is there a setting to change? They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now. What's up?

Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks. It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively. Tonight has been no exception.
I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause. My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm. I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there. My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
I have both a first and second generation AppleTV. When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame. The issue affects both. I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so... it must be on the delivery end.
Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers. They should. In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
I was an early adopter of AppleTV. It has not been problematic until now. This is trying my patience. My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens. I do.
I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services. If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.
