Downloaded movies (purchased)

Hi guys!! Brand new iPad user here so forgive me if this answer is simple! I purchased the 16GB iPad and had a question regarding purchased downloaded movies. Obviously I have the smallest storage space out of all versions and wondered if once a movie was purchased are you able to store it in iTunes and have it optionally on your iPad to prevent sucking up space. For example.. I buy a movie and then watch it and want to free up space, can I move that same movie off my iPad to store into iTunes and say a month later re-put it onto my iPad to watch? If so is it automatically placed in iTunes once downloaded and synced with my computer? Also, if down the road I purchase a new desktop computer.. Will I lose all purchased stored products when downloading a new iTunes? Thanks a bunch!!

Yes.
If so is it automatically placed in iTunes once downloaded and synced with my computer?
It should, yes. If not, iTunes menu File > Transfer purchases.
Also, if down the road I purchase a new desktop computer.. Will I lose all purchased stored products when downloading a new iTunes?
This is two different questions. When you get a new computer, you will need to copy your iTunes library and files from your current computer to the new computer.
When you download and install a new iTunes, you will not lose your library.
However, you do make regular backups of your data, correct?

  • Can't download movies purchased from itunes on my ipad

    I have many movies purchased through iTunes store.  In the past I was able to download to my iPad to watch when out of wifi.  Now many titles, I cannot.  Previously, I downloaded Avengers and watched, now it won't. Why?

    I had the same issue and was able to fix it...  I went to settings / videos and turned on "show all videos". I did the same at settings / iTunes and App Store.  Then, when I returned to "videos", all of my purchases were there (took a second).  At that point I did NOT get the "watch" button...I DID get the "cloud" icon And was able to download.....

  • 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).

  • Cannot download movie purchase on Ipod touch

    Im somewhat challenged when it comes to this. IM 47. LOL I purchase a movie on Itunes. It was downloaded on my ipod touch, from one computer in my home with windows vista on it. I bought a new laptop and tried to sync my ipod to it. I noticed after that,that my movie was gone, from my Ipod touch, but was instilled onto my laptop in Itunes. But it is not on my old computer anymore in itunes, I have a ton of music that I downloaded to my old computer and have on my Ipod. I am afraid if I sync now to my laptop I will lose all my music. Im very confused. I just need to figure out why the movie is not showing up in My Itunes account in both computers.................HELP>

    Not sure what you are asking or what you have done.
    You get one and only one download. You can them move/copy the content ( movie in this case) wherever you want it. Your music/movies will only be where you put them.
    The ipod touch will sync with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will first erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • Download error tap to retry : why do I get this message when trying to download movies purchased from iTunes? When I tap to retry, it says not at this time.

    When I try to download a movie, it says downloading error, tap to retry. So I tap and it says download not available at this time. Is it about storage?

    Usually when you don't have enough space, your iPad will tell you that.  To be sure, go to Settings > About and see how much space you have left.  If you have more than 5 GB, you likely have enough space.
    I'd try rebooting your iPad and see if that solves the problem.  Press and hold BITH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until you see the Apple Logo, then let go of BOTH buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • IPhone/iPod Touch update 3.0 "Cannot transfer Movie purchased on iPod...."

    "...because you are not authorized to play this movie on this computer."
    Excuse me?
    It's the computer I sync my iPod to.
    It's the authorized one.
    Perhaps I missed a statement somewhere that iPod downloaded movie purchases cannot be transferred onto my sync computer, in which case I feel they've taken that copy-write proprietary dealie a hair too far and it tarnishes a high point in iPod updates for me,(it was one of my "wishes" for iPod that many people said wouldn't ever happen), and I feel less excited to purchase movies on my iPod, if I can't play them on my big screen iMac too.
    Or maybe there is something I am doing wrong?
    1st gen iPod.
    It's iTunes 8.2....
    My computer is authorized....
    Any ideas?
    Is it indeed a copyright dealie?
    THANX!!!!

    NeeeVer Mind!
    It was greyed and I got that message yesterday afternoon.
    Today......it's in there in my iTunes library.
    And with this sync....it's copying it again to my library, as though it doesn't already know it's there.
    Hummm.
    Oh well, at least I can keep my happiness about being about to download flix directly via wifi!
    YAY!

  • Where would any downloaded rental movies be downloaded to on my iPad? Just spent over $40 in data top ups and nearly two days trying to a. Download a purchased movie and b. find the movie on my iPad.

    I bought this iPad (think it is an iPad 2 not actually sure, a about a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to go on iTunes store and purchase a rental movie which cost approx $6 NZD. After about 2 hours I ran out of data and the movie hadn't even downloaded halfway so I purchased more data thinking another Gb would do. Then i got a message from itunes that my ipad didnt have enough storage so i went into settings and dleeted apps and docs (apparently also deleted from icloud too) to make room for the movie. Now after purchasing another 7GB of data at over three times the cost of the rented movie it finally finished downloading and I had enough space on my iPad. But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it? Why have I just wastednearlyb$50 just tying to download and watch one measly movie! It is obviously some secret formula or thing I've missed...it shouldn't be so hard! The day before this I successfully downloaded a song I purchased and can listen to with no probs.  do I need another app to store downloaded movies or something?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • A recent movie purchased on iTunes and downloaded to my computer does not show up on apple tv.

    I routinely buy movies on iTunes and they usually show up on apple tv automatically but the most recent purchase is not there. Im not sure why.

    Hi there mctedesco,
    You may want to make sure that the movie in question was purchesedwith the same Apple ID that is being used on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information. 
    Download past purchases
    Before you begin
    Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. Use these steps to see which Apple ID you used to download an item.
    See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store. If you changed your Apple ID from one country to another, you can’t download items you purchased in a previous country.
    If you're using Family Sharing, you can use these steps to download your family member's content.

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • 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.

    Hi
    I am having problems downloading 2 purchased movies. Cars 2 & Toy Story. I had it on My iPad, then after a while the movies would not play. I went to the apple store and they deleted it and told me that all I need to do is download it again. I tried what they suggested at the apple store, but I am still not successful. It continues to tell me there is a download error. Please help! Need these movies for my 3 year old!

    Apple is not here.
