Failure to download movies

-
I have just upgraded to iTunes 7 and purchased 3 movies.
Movies started to download and then stopped.
No recorded of my movies on my PC and the iTunes store site says they were purchased but nothing else.
Has any one else experienced this problem?
It is somewhat disappointing that Apple has not issued any NEWS statement concerning the problems with iTunes7

What exactly is the current connection that speedtest reported?
If you checked signal strength by doing the test on ATV then that is not a proper indicator. Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network.
On Apple TV go to settings - general - network - configure DNS. It should be on automatic.

Network reset failure to download movie

I am unable to download already purchased movies from iTunes onto my mac. They will begin to download and then fail and the error message says Failure due to Network Reset. I have contacted Apple twice with no resolution.

Two possible problems.

Check your firewall to make sure Digital Editions is not blocked. Maybe check by (temporarily) turning off firewall.

There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically.
It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

HT2589 I already have 2 devices on one apple ID account and want to add apple TV. How do I add another device on an existing apple ID account so that I can download movies from the cloud to any of 3 devices?

how do I add another device on to my apple ID account so that I can download movies etc.. from my icloud to any of the 3 devices on the account? I already have my iphone and ipad on the account and for some reason my 3rd device (apple TV) dropped off. If you can help, greatly appreciated!!

Hello there, HannaGriffin.
Since the Apple TV (1st Generation) is the only one that has storage, I would recommend the following Knowledge Base articles for troubleshooting issues with authorization:
Apple TV (1st generation) may not play content purchased from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1359
or
Apple TV (1st generation): Apple TV repeatedly asks for password to play iTunes Store rentals or purchases

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I can't download movies. I'm taking a cinema class where the professor provides a link to to a movie to be watched. I am unable to access the link on my mac pro. is there an app or software download that will allow me to do this?

I can't download movies. I'm taking a cinema class where I am required to watch movies. My professor provides the link on an electronic blackboard for the movies. I can't access the link on my mac pro notebook. Is there an app or software download that can help with this? I can access the link fine on a pc.

The "right click" is a function of the OS and those keyboard commands do not work on the iPad at all with the built in virtual keyboard. I don't use an external keyboard - so I cannot attest to the possibility of that working - but there are no keyboard shortcuts with the iPad keyboard.

I have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance

i have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance. If not, is there a different route i can take to get those recordings in to my mac pro?

See if the cam shows up under Devices in the Image Capture app.
Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.
Launch Image Capture then connect the camera.
The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.

Download movies from home sharing?

I ripped most of my DVDs so I can play them through Apple TV, etc. I share them via iTunes using home sharing. However, I want to be able to download movies from that shared library directly to my iPad and/or iPhone so I have them when I travel. I read you could just 'drag' them to a different (say, local) library, but I do not see how to do that. I'm viewing the content in the shared library and can't find any way of copying that content anywhere.

Thanks, but that is not my question. My question is whether I can transfer/download from home sharing.

HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

I often download tv shows on apple tv. All of a sudden I don't have the option to download tv shows but can download movies. Internet connection is good. I simply don't have the search or download options for tv. What is happening?

I often download tv shows on apple tv. All of a sudden, my screen does not display download options for tv shows. I can download movies no problem
and the Internet connection is good. It just no longer shows options for tv shows except for my tv shoes (already downloaded). what is going on?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check your store location is set correctly, if this doesn't help, try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds.

Auto-downloading Movies and TV shows not working

I have two Mac minis running iTunes 11.3 under Mavericks 10.9.3, each is logged in to a different iTunes Store account but otherwise setup the same. They as mentioned are logged in to iTunes Store accounts, and in Preferences I have set them both to "Always check for available downloads", "Download pre-orders when available" and ticked "Automatic downloads - Music". I have not ticked the "Automatic downloads - Apps".
There is no specific option to do "Automatic downloads - Movies" or "Automatic downloads - TV Shows" however supposedly the Music option should cover these as well.
Neither Mac is automatically downloading Movies or TV Shows, based on a suggestion elsewhere I have tried having "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" enabled and not enabled, this made no difference.
I do have iTunes running all the time because it is acting as a home-sharing server for a set of Apple TV boxes.
Is the problem that this automatic downloading only happens after relaunching iTunes?
Manually downloading by clicking on the cloud icon does work. Purchases may be made either on one of the Apple TV units, or on another signed in computer. The purchases are recognised by the Mac minis as when "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is turned on the new purchases as listed but not automatically downloaded. Using "Check for Available Downloads" in the Store menu does not cause it to download these new items either.
The Mac minis are authorised for their respective iTunes Store accounts.

Hi John,
Automatic downloading does not apply to Movies and TV shows, but does apply to music and other content. See this article -

How to move Downloads, Movies, Music& Pictures folders to an external drive

I have a 2008 iMac which hard disk (as you probably know) is not upgradable. After 16 months of use the disk became full so I bought an external firewire drive (1T LaCie d2). My plan is to move most folders located under /Users/username/ (the Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures folders) to the external drive and replace them with aliases.
Searching on the net, I found instructions on how to move the iTunes Music folder and how to change iPhoto default photos folder. I then moved the said folders and their contents to the external drive and created the aliases. Now when I try to delete the folders for their original location I get a message stating that "folders cannot be modified or deleted because they are required by Mac OS X". I know that I can delete these folders using terminal Unix commands but is this the correct approach?
Or should I go and create a new user account using as Home directory a folder located on the external drive? Or, alternatively, just change the existing user Home to one in the external drive?
I think my question is important and of general interest and I was really disappointed to find out that Apple has no documentation on this subject (or at least, I couldn't find any).

this happens because they are protected by "deny delete" ACLs.

that's one way to do it. then you can move the folders to teh external and put symbolic links, *NOT aliases* in their original locations.
Or should I go and create a new user account using as Home directory a folder located on the external drive?
Or, alternatively, just change the existing user Home to one in the external drive?
that might be the easiest option. just copy the whole home folder to the external. then go to system preferences->accounts. unlock the lock at the bottom, control-click on your user and choose 'advanced options". in the popup change the location of the home directory to the external. then reboot and when you log in your home directory should be on the external. then you can trash the old home directory on the internal.

Thanks for the quick advice!
Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
Here's the error log after the restart:
What else should I try?

How can i transfer an itunes downloaded movie on to an external hard drive

Hi, I have just downloaded a movie from itunes for the first time. All of my previously purchased DVD's are on an external Hard drive to play directly on my TV. I wanted to move this downloaded movie on to the hard drive, but it will only play through itunes and will not play on the hard drive. Has anyone got any advice as to how I can do this. The movie is on the hard drive but will only play through my computer. Thsanks

Movies purchases via iTunes will only play in iTunes or on an iOS device.

Can I download to Apple TV in my office next to my iMac and latter move the Apple TV to the room with my HD TV and watch a downloaded movie?

Can I download the movies in my office into a Apple TV unit and where I have my 27 iMac and latter move the Apple unit to my bedroom and watch the downloaded movie in my HD TV?
I am presently watching movies in my 27 iMac downloded from itunes but would love to see them in my hd tv.
Another question would be if i can connect the Apple Tv via the HDMI into my Onkyo hometheater and so i would get the full sound? Or do I have to connect to the hd tv directly?
Best regards

If it's a first-gen Apple TV (white box), content is stored locally, on its internal HD. You sync it with iTunes just like an iPod or iPhone, and the files go where the unit goes.
If it's an ATV 2 (black box), content is streamed over the network from any connected computers' iTunes libraries. In that case, it shouldn't matter where in the house it is, as long as it and the target iTunes library are on the same network and set up for Home Sharing.
As for connecting it to your HDTV or Home Theater, either should work fine, though I believe the HDMI only outputs video, in which case you'll also want to use the Optical output for the audio as well.
Good luck!
