Downloaded movies on iPad are not showing in video app

I downloaded videos on my iPad straight from the iTunes Store. They show up a being downloaded, I see the status bar and time estimate, the video processes and then it disappears. When I click on the videos app there are no videos available for me to watch and it just redirects me to the iTunes Store.
Things I have tried:
Restarting my iPad
Closing out of iTunes and the video app via multitasking
Going into iTunes and clicking on purchased videos and downloading the video again
Checking if there are any restrictions placed on my device
I subscribe to iTunes Match and iCloud storage so I turned them on and off without any resolution
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!
I just received the new iPad as a gift and am regretting selling my original iPad that never gave me any problems like this...

Quit the Videos app completely and then go back and look again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Or try this, if that didn't work.
Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Download movies on iPad will not play, Download movies on iPad will not play

Downloaded rented movies on ipad2
from iTunes will not play on ipad2

This has been an ongoing problem for me too. With my iPad 2 I buy a tv show or rent a movie and it does not show up in the Video App. This is very frustrating (= very upset Apple customer) You spend money to see something remotely, wait along time to download it, potentially incur or use precious minutes with your limited data plan and in the end can not view it. Additionally, the entire process has some severe usability issues. Why do you have to go to another App to see your movies. When you click purchase you should be first presented a download time bar and then either as it is in the midst of being downloaded be able to start watching it and/or after it has been downloaded you should be provided the movie to view it. Not bumped to the landing page of the iTunes App. how stupid is that. So you are there at the landing page for iTunes. Your first inclination is to try to navigate within iTunes to see it. If it is a,TV show that you rented your first inclination is to go to the TV show section. Then form there you will like deduce that you need to go to Purchases. but when you click Purchases it instead takes you first to Music purchases. Then you might see or realize that there is a,TV show tab in the Purchases section, so you go there and and as opposed to showing you a chronological list of most recent individual purchases is defaults to a list of full seasonal TV show purchases, so then you see the seasonal show and it show an iCloud butont to download then entire season, hmm that would suck to then download the entire season, use all your minutes and then not be able to view any show cause even thoses don't show up in the Apple video App. I mean come on this really terrible, TERRIBLE useability.
So I have gone to the Apple Video App and nothing shows. I have done a search from the Apple search you can access when swiping right from the initial page of App icons. I actually see the TV show name listed from the title name search I do. And indeed it shows an associated Video App icon but when I click it momentarily (split second looks to be loading the video App and then crashes? And takes me back to the first screen of App icons.
So I simply can not watch any show with ITunes.
Netflix on the hand make the entire process a one click experience.

TS3989 my photos that i took on my ipad are not showing up in iphoto or aperture

I have photos that I took on my Ipad that are in photos. They are not showing up in Iphoto or aperure on my Mac? All software is up to date,photostream turned on on mac and ipad....is there something else I need to do?

OK, you'll have to upgrade to iPhoto '11, available in the Mac App Store, in order to get photo stream and shared photo stream on your Mac. After doing so, you'll be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and check Photo Stream. Then your photo stream photos will appear in iPhoto on your Mac.
As mentioned earlier, photos added to photo stream more than 30 days ago can be added to a shared photo stream (as discussed here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), then invite yourself as a subscriber and they will appear in iPhoto as well.
Be sure to check Automatic Import in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream if you want your photo stream photos to automatically be added to your iPhoto library as well.

Movies in iPhoto are not showing in iMovie clips

I have movies in iPhoto that are not showing in the video clips to select for iMovie. Is there anywhere I can export them so I can grab them for my movie?

he iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

TS4083 Notes on my iPad are not showing on my Mac

Notes written in the NOTES app on my iPad are not transferring to my Mac via iCloud, All other info ie; Calendar, Mail, Photos, even my iA Writer, do so without any problem.

Please help if you can.

On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect Notes then reselect it.
On your iPad, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Notes off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Songs Are Not Showing in Music App

I have synced my iTunes library to my iPad Mini. If I go to Settings > About > General I see the correct number of songs listed. Also, all my restrictions are off. However, my songs are not showing in the music app. If I am at home and on the same network I can see them listed if I go to the Music > Library > My Library. But if I am away from home I do not see this option and do not see the entirety of my music library or playlists. Has anyone else encountered this?

You are seeing the Shared Library in Home Sharing. You have to be on the same WiFi network as the iTunes library that you want to share, so that is why you see those songs when you are at home. The songs that you see in there are not on your iPad.
For whatever reason, all of your songs did not sync correctly. How are you syncing? Are you syncing automatically and if so have you selected the entire Music Library to sync? Take a look at this. The fact that it is written for the iPod doesn't matter since it works the same way for any iOS device.

My iPod nano and iPad are not showing on iTunes

Hi, I have an iPod nano 6g and an iPad that were working just finr a couple of days ago. Now my iTuns is not recognizing either of them ! I tried every solution possible in the Support section but nothing worked.
The thing I noticed while trying to fix this issue is that the "Apple Mobile Device Driver" in the Device Manager has a yellow triangle next to it. In this mode almost nothing happens when I plug in the iPod besides the ring tone, it does not appear neither in the iTunes nor in My computer. And nothing happens in my iPod itself as it doesn't show the "connecting" screen
When I choose "Update the driver" and I let it update automatically, it's title change from "Apple Mobile Device Driver" to "USB Mass Storage Device" and it will show a yellow mark too as soon as I oppen the iTunes. The iPod starts showing in My computer and the "connecting" screen appears in the iPod but my iTunes shows me this message:
And then automatically the "disconnecting" screen shows on my iPod.
When trying to change back to "Apple Mobile Device Driver" my windows tells that the driver is not digitally signed.
But even if I chose it it will go back to the state where my iPod will not show on my computer
The iPad however is not showing any sign of activity whatsoever, its almost like I didn't plug anything if not for the ring tone. It doesn't even show up on the Device manager !
I tried compleately removing then reinstalling iTunes several time but it didn't solve the issue. I Also tried dissabling all other programes to look for conflicts but that didn't help either :l

I tried every solution possible in the Support section but nothing worked.
Including the following?
iPod: Does not appear in Windows or iTunes and Device Manager is empty
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Your iPad questions should posted in the iPad forums.

Rented movies are not appearing in Videos app

I rented 2 movies on my iPad and neither of them are showing up in the Videos app.
iTunes tells me I've already rented the movies but I can't find them anywhere on my iPad.
Any ideas?

A long shot, but try restarting your iPad (hold down the Sleep button until you get the red "swipe to power off" button, do so, and start it back up). That sometimes gets the files to appear. If not, and no one else here has other suggestions, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

Purchased Movies purchased in itunes not showing in video's on iphone

I Just purchased the Extended Lord of the Rings Trilogy. It shows up on my mac, shows up on my ipad in video's but on my iphone 5, it does not show up? I can see other cloud movies I have purchased, but these three will not show up at all. I logged out of icloud, got back in, reset phone, turned show videos in icloud on and off, I think it is an application issue.
I am running the lastest iOS v8.0.2 on an iphone 5 (T-mobile as service)
This maybe fixed when I get my 6 plus in a few days, but I wanted to report it non-the less so that it maybe on someone's radar to fix this issue.
Thanks

RogerOut makes some good points and this feels to me like a ham fisted attempt by Apple to take control of my media in a way that I don't want. The stuff it is choosing to call "home movie" is 100% legit movies, but not ones I bought through the itunes store. So I load a movie and then it mysteriously does not show up in my Apple TV because it has defaulted to "home movie".
What I still fail to understand is what the heck is the purpose of this apart from annoying users who's stuff now does not appear on ATV without explanation or warning. So glad to have this forum to help me, but why should I have to do this to figure out how to overcome a stupid thing that Itunes is doing to my movie (it is a movie!)?
As I say though, what possible benefit is it for a users media to be labelled in this way and anyway, why does calling it a home movie make it unreadable in ATV?

My purchases, such as movies and music, are not showing up on my new laptop even though its the same account

I just got a new laptop and recently downloaded itunes. I logged on to my apple account, and everything was right except none of the movies and songs I had bought before getting this laptop show up in the library. I authoried my computer with my apple account, but still nothing showed up. What is wrong and how can I fix this?

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Not showing up on App Store with more than 200k downloads in last three days?

My app Flying Bieber HD has gotten more than 200k downloads since our launch on Saturday, but we are not showing up on App Store ranks at all. We got so many downloads through social media promotions and we got Bieber's entourage to promote it. Are we too new to show up in there? When will we be up there?

I have downloaded 2 movies from itunes to my ipad 2, but they are not showing up in itunes. where can i find them?

Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store. To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

New iMa..old iPad and movies that are in iPad already not showing?

I have a new iMac and have transferred my iTunes from a MacBook Pro.
It didn't transfer so smoothly as all the playlists disappeared and some of the movies couldn't be copied.
I have now tried to add new playlists and movies with my previously synced iPad.
When I try to copy movies over it tells me my iPad is almost full(it does have the movies that were previously synced with the Macbook Pro still showing).
When I select the On This iPad option it only shows the 3 movies that I have recently added.
Initially a message came up saying that 2 itunes libraries couldn't be used (I don't remember the exact message)..I selected the option to delete the iPad and sync with this library but nothing happened.
Even the bottom tells me there is still 15.80GB free,yet when I try and add anything else like another movie or more songs it tells me the iPad is full?
Any suggestions?

What you are doing is now clear to me, you are explaining it perfectly. You set the iPad up via WiFi, visit you have not synced with iTunes on your computer yet.
I have one more "card to play". If this doesn't do it, I am totally stumped. There is no reason why previously purchased songs and videos - that are showing up in the purchased tab of iTunes and have been "downloaded" to your iPad - should not be showing up on the iPad.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then see of the songs are there.
