Downloading HD movies

I have a Windows XP PC, an iPhone 5 and a 32GB iPad 4. I'm thinking of adding an Apple TV and buying my future movies from the iTunes store -- at least for titles that aren't available on Blu-ray. I noticed tonight that the iTunes store will not let me download HD content directly onto my PC, saying that I need a Windows 7 PC or Mac with HDCP components. I can make HD purchases on my iPhone and iPad. I don't want to take up space by storing too much video on either mobile device and would prefer to save the files on my PC's hard drive. Is there a way that I can do this? Can I make a purchase on my phone or iPad and then download it from the iCloud to my PC? I don't plan on actually watching movies on my PC; I just want to use it for storage, prefering not to rely exclusively on iCloud. Any tips?

Hey Rob724,
Thanks for the question. In order to purchase, rent, and view HD content from the iTunes Store on your computer, you will need to have components that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) installed; Windows XP and Vista do not support HDCP. You can read more about the system requirements and learn more about HD videos here:

If you're unable to download to your computer, the purchases you make on your iPhone and iPad will still be attached to your Apple ID. You can delete them from your iOS device to save space, and just re-download them if you want to view them again. You can read a bit more about that here:

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Hey cptniemo,
Thanks for the question. Connecting your iTunes Store and Disney Movies Anywhere accounts should sync all of your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. After connecting your accounts, you can check your purchased history in the iTunes Store:
Download past purchases

Alternatively you can download the free Disney Movies Anywhere app from the App Store (iOS 7 required):
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disney-movies-anywhere-watch/id766894692?mt=8&uo =4
For more information and support with Disney Movies Anywhere, see this resource:

HT3209 I downloaded a movie but now I can't find it. Any ideas?

I downloaded a movie inSD and saw it was going through the download. When I returned to view it, it wasn't in iTunes anywhere. Does this mean it didn't finish the download and I should do it again? Did I get charged for it? It doesn't show any purchase information.
I'm getting on a plane today and would like to see it so please respond ASAP if you can.
Thanks.

Check the "Videos" app on the iPad.

I just downloaded a movie to my iPad and now can't find it!

First time to download a movie,. I looked in the downloads section of iTunes but it only has my music....

Try the Videos app instead.

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.

I have downloaded a movie, but it did not appear in itunes, I went to select "Check for Downloads" under store, and I received a message that there were 25 errors in the download. There is no information on how to correct the problem.

I purchased a movie from the itunes store, it had errors (25) in the down load, and it does not allow me to down load again. I just get directed to the Store, and Check for available downloads, which when selected again informes me that 25 errors occured, etc... how do I get this fixed so I can download the movie?

Yes, done all that but there is no adobe flash player listed in the add ons >plug ins site. However in the program listings on the start section adobe flash player is displayed.
I have tried down loading it again and although I have done this from downloads and it displays as done it does not reappear in plug ins.
The plug ins I have got listed in Tools>Add_ons>Plugins are
Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
Mozilla Default Plug in 1.0.015
Shockwave flash 10.01.2.76
Windows Media player Plug in dynamic link library 3.02.6.28

HT1390 I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV. Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library. When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it.

When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it and asks if I want to rent it again. No, I just want to watch it.

Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer. I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room. Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

When I downloaded a movie it is not showing up on my TV what am I doing wrong??

after I downloaded a movie it is not showing up on my TV ...it seems I can only watch it on my computer...what am I doing wrong?

Sounds like the movie didn't finish downloading before the Wi-Fi signal dropping ...
Try re downloading. You won't be charged again.

I downloaded a movie from itunes on my ipad. In the downloaded area where the movie should be, I only get a link to "iItunes Terms and Conditions", no movie. There is nowhere to accept the terms and conditions.

Nevermind, the movie was there in the Videos app, not itunes downloads. Thanks.

I'm trying to download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no more room and that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download more movies. How do I delete the videos in order to order more?

I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.
