Re: Bought a video - got the "cloud download" icon.
eric says:
See below from: http://www.imore.com/movies-icloud-means
Underneath the "Purchased" option there is a "Downloads option" - This should get the d/l going if it hasn't started already. Note - for movies greater than 100mb in size a wifi connection is needed.
To re-download movies you've previously purchased from iTunes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Launch the iTunes app.
Tap the Purchased tab at the bottom (if you don't see it, tap the More tab and then check there).
Tap Movies from the selection list.
Tap on the iCloud icon beside any of your previously purchased movies to re-download.

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv? I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
Can anyone help?

You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

TS3354 so i cant watch my movies now because i dont have the next best computer thanks apple for screwing the guy with a perfectly working computer ... -.-

i get the message cant be played without windows seven or hdmc format essentially so i cant watch my movies it works perfectly fine i just cant afford windows seven or a new computer and mine runs great

In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

Try to reboot your computer. If that doesn't work, try deleting the movie and redownloading it (assuming no other AppleID is associated with your computer).
If neither of those work, try contacting the iTunes store.

Why cant i purchase movies

WHY CANT I PURCHASE MOVIES?

That could hardly be more vague.
Please explain.
What happens when you try?
Please turn off your caps lock. All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.

Hi SB398,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may be using iTunes in the Cloud when connected to Wi-Fi, to watch the movies when not connected to the Internet you'll have to sync them to the iPhone using iTunes. The article below will walk you through syncing content to your iPhone using iTunes.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Cheers!

Can't watch purchased movies on Apple TV

I purchased movies on Apple TV but I can't watch them through Apple TV, only through my computer. They are in 'Purchased on Apple tv" on iTunes but when I browse Apple TV, they are nowhere to be found. Do I need to transfer them somehow somewhere? Thanks!

Purchases made on the tv will at some point transfer themselves back to itunes, this will enable you to back them up and protect them against loss. Providing your sync/stream options are set accordingly you should then see them either be synced or streamed to the tv for viewing.

Can't transfer purchased movie from iPhone to iTunes library

I purchased a movie from iTune store on my iPhone. When I sync'd the iPhone with iTunes an icon was created in iTunes movie library, but there's no movie, just an icon. The purchased movie is still on my phone. I've re-sync'd, re-built iTunes, etc... No luck.
How do I get the movie from the iPhone to iTunes movie library?
I've researched this for a couple weeks and have failed at every turn.
Any input would be appreciated.

tried that long ago...:)
no dice

Watching purchased movie on ATV2

hey
i just purchased a movie bundle through my apple tv (2nd gen), but didn't want to watch it immediately. now that i want to watch it, i can't find it anywhere.
i checked itunes and it does not show up in my purchased tab from quick links, however it does show in the bill within my purchase history.
as i understand it, some films cannot be redownloaded in the UK (where i am), however i believe these are not offered for purchase through the apple TV? so it cannot be that. also, as the apple tv doesn't actually store anything, it just streams it, i would HAVE to be able to redownload it in some way (or else I'd just be renting it). not only that, as it was a bundle i bought, i doubt they'd be expecting people to sit and watch three movies in a row...
i don't see any links on the apple tv to view purchased items, and my itunes doesn't show them either - and if i say check for downloads, it says i am up to date.
any ideas?
cheers

movies are offered for sale - at least nearly everything i look at says purchase or rent next to it...
here's the screen i bought it from, and the message i was given before confirming (all done on apple TV) - you can maybe just make out that it says Buy Bundle (sorry for the crappy photos)

Cant watch rented movies on apple tv after software update

I recentlly bought apple tv and have not had a problem using it but this afternoon I went to rent a movie as per usual but had to instal a software update first, now i can't watch / rent / download movies.It asks me to confirm my credit card pin number then it just returns to the previous screen. I have tried verifying the credit card, resetting apple tv, turning on and off the modem, restarting apple tv, de registering other devices and it still doesnt work. Anyone know if there is a solution?

I have exactly the same behavior.
One small wrinkle, after re-entering CC details I couldn't even watch purchased TV shows. Then I reset the ATV and after it will allow me to watch TV shows we have bought but I still cannot purchase anything. There is no error message of any kind, it just goes back to the previous screen.
BTW apple, we use my wife's login for ATV

HT5085 Cannot watch purchased movies on iPad

For my country, iTunes iCloud doesn't support movies. Currently, I'm not able to watch my purchased movies on iPad (suddenly something went wrong and they're visible, but unavailable...). How can I have my them back? Thanks

Greetings Shamshin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to watch previously purchased movie on your iPad without being connected to a Wi-Fi network. In this situation, I would suggest reading over the attached article that explains how to download your movies from the cloud so that they are on your iPad locally and will not require Wi-Fi. If these are the steps your are already going through and you are still required to be connected to a Wi-Fi network, please let me know.

Authorized computer not syncing purchase movies to iphone

Hello, I recently brought my computer back to life and I am having problems syncing certain purchased movies from my computer to my iphone. Everything syncs well except for some movies. I got the authorize computer message and did that but the problem persists. Everything checks out with the location of the movies and I am able to play them on my computer in the itunes session. I just can't get them over to my iphone4 which I was able too previously.
Couple of notes. My computer died and I have it restored all as is with exception to the new mother board etc. Everything else works as expected other than this issue.
Please help if possible.
thx

They must be in a format to play on the iphone or they will not sync. Select the movie in itunes, then Advanced>Create Ipod/Iphone version. Select that version to sync to your phone. You can also use handbrake to create iphone versions & then drag them to itunes. Handbrake has presets for the iphone:

TS3354 can i watch purchased movies/tv on my netbook without being connected to the internet ?

Is it possible to watch purchased TV/Films whilst not connected to internet .?

Why can't you use both your USB ports at the same time? If the dongle is a bit fat, a bit of jiggling might work, it doesn't necessarily have to be all the way in. Hold it still though. I don't know of any way to update the software without an internet connection, sorry.

No longer able to watch Purchased Movies

Since upgrading yesterday to 2.4 Firmware can no longer watch movies purchased via iTunes when I attempt to watch movies on the AppleTV I get "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content" yet cannot find out how to authorize my apple tv I've tried going into settings > iTunes Store signing out and resigning in...
anyone else having this issue and/or know how to resolve it?

The only way to fix this problem is to have an update for firmware 2.4 and good luck with that as Apple thinks there is no problem with the software. The reason Apple TV can not play the content is because there was an update to iTunes and anything that was purchased before one updated iTunes is not recognized and therefore the message Apple TV is not authorized to play content. I restored Apple TV and started over with firmware 1 (like it when it was purchased) and everything worked perfectly. All music videos and movies that were purchased from iTunes played without a problem. I then update to firmware 2.4, which is the only update you can download now, and the problem was back. Anything purchased after the iTunes update will play and things purchased before the update of iTunes will not play. Apple Tech contacted by phone was totally unaware of any problems with firmware 2.4 and stated they would fix my Apple TV for $40.00 at any Apple Store, what a joke as there is nothing wrong with it. Its the software!!!!!!!!!
