Download a movie purchased on Apple TV to my computer, iPad, oriPhone?

Good evening!
I am trying to get some help in downloading a movie I purchased on Apple TV to my computer so I can put it on my iPad or iPhone.  I have the latest generation Apple TV and the thing is I have already done this with a previous movie. Either I am an idiot (that is an option!) and forgot how I did it or the procedure has changed When I purchased and watched The Hobbit on my Apple TV, I was then able to go to the iTunes store and download the movie to my computer. Since I already purchased it, there was an option to download in the store. However when I purchased Star Trek - Into Darkness on my Apple TV, I know longer see that option in iTunes. Again, unless I am not going to the right place or have forgotten somethine. Any help would be appreciated

You don't use the itunes app to watch videos, you use the video app.

  • Hi my wife downloaded a movie from the apple store and now her ipad is black !!

    Hi anybody have this happen before ? what can i do to fix it

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • I am having trouble downloading my movies purchase.  can anyone help me?

    I am having trouble downloading my movie purchase.  Can anyone help me?

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

    how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

    Depending on your region all you should have to do is go into iTunes  and click iTunes Store. You should see "Purchased" on the right under Quick Links. Click Movies, then the cloud symbol under the movie name.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netfix uses adaptive streaming, if you have a slow connection it will reduce the quality of the video, iTunes ensures you get the quality you pay for.

  • Is it faster to download a movie to a laptop then sync to the ipad?

    Is it faster to download a movie to a laptop then sync to the ipad?

    D. Shawn-
    I agree that it shouldn't make any difference. But that isn't the problem I often have.  Many of the short movies I download are not in a format the iPad can view.  In that case, it would be necessary to download them to the computer, convert them to MPEG4, and transfer them via iTunes.
    I use a free program called HandBrake to convert various video formats to MPEG4 (MP4, MV4).  It is available for Macintosh, Windows and Linux at:

    Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news.  What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

    That does not affect any OS X client or iOS, and there is no action for you or Apple to take.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.

  • How do I get movies purchased on Apple TV to download to my iTunes library?

    Using iTunes 10.7 on my iMac where my main iTunes library is located.  I have a couple of Apple TVs with the latest updates.  When I purchase a movie on Apple TV, what is the easiest way to get it to download to my iMac?  It seems that it is much easier to purchase movies on my iMac and then they show up in the library for that computer on my Apple TV - but you have to wait for the movie to complete the download before you can watch it - sometimes inconvenient.
    So, following a purchase of a movie on my Apple TV what is the easiest way to download that purchased move to my iTunes library so I can also watch it on the computer or my iOS devices?
    SOLVED:  Looked at post labeled "Movie purchases in iCloud" and received my answer.  Movie now downloading into my iTunes library.

    Thanks - I understand this in principle - but still think it should be up to the user.
    If my Apple TV glitches and I lose a bunch of tv shows, its not the end of the world.
    If I have no room on my computer for a large powerpoint presentation for work because my hard drive is full of Simpson episodes, it is.
    Not giving the user the option not to have gig upon gigs sent to his computer is very.... well, Gatesian.

  • Download movies purchased on Apple TV?

    I recently purchased HD version "Iron Man" on my Apple TV, which included the iTunes extras. Is there a way to download the movie to my Mac, since it doesn't appear I'm able to watch the iTunes Extras on the Apple TV? (I did go to iTunes and checked for downloadable content).

  • My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV.  Can someone please help me with a solution?  Thanks.

      First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes.  I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook. 
      Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from.  But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
      Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad).  It does not show up on my Apple TV as well.  If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
      I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me.  I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad.  I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this?  Your consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
