HD movie purchases in iTunes question...

Good afternoon.
Can someone explain how the HD purchases in iTunes works?  I am on my iPhone 4 right now, looking at the HD version (19.99) of The Incredibles and it says "The HD version will be downloaded to this device, but the SD version will be downloaded to your computer".  So that appears that I'll get two files with my 19.99 download... one SD and one HD.
My question(s):
-Is it not possible to view the movie in HD on my computer?  I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with i5.
-I have an iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and Apple TV.  Will all of these devices be able to play the HD version of the movies I download?  If not, which devices will play the SD and which will play the HD?
Thanks so much for the assist.  Our daughter is just getting into movies and we would like to be able to give her one of the Apple devices to watch the movie(s) during road trips.

One last question...
-How is the iCloud supposed to work with HD movies?  I imagine it will cloud-sync to my iPad, iPhone, and AppleTV as soon as I make the 19.99 purchase on any device, but I want to make sure before I buy.  Thanks.l

  • How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes  on my TV using HDMI connection?

    I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable?   When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them.  I get the following error:
    "To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
    I used to be able to play them before but not anymore.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's due to the new update.  Is there a fix?
    Thanks,

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.

  • How do I access my iCloud content? Specifically movies purchased in itunes.

    How do I access my iCloud content? Specifically movies purchased in itunes. I have multiple Apple devices, one itunes account, one cloud...purchased upgraded storage. The iCloud page on Apple website states that movies purchased in itumes are automatically transferred to the cloud. I can't find the movies unless I sync my devices via a cord. I am interested in purchasing Apple TV but want to make sure I will be able to access movies purchased.

    Movies are not stored in icloud.  They are on the cloud - yes, but what Apple means,  is that you can redownload the movies via the iTunes Store, where all movies are stored (the itunes cloud).

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

  • Is is possible to convert the movies purchased on itunes to DVD?

    Is is possible to convert the movies purchased on itunes to DVD? (In other words you would be burning the movie or tv shows to a blank DVD).

    You can store just what you want on the external. Just set up folders for what you want. I have a music folder, movies and TV shows, and pictures folders. I also have mine partitioned for OSX and Windows. I have a few files I need if I am running on windows so I keep them on the windows side. I always keep a back up of my documents and a few other files it is a pain to download on the external.
    You can also copy every folder and file on your machine to the external if it is big enough. This is a true copy not a back up file generated by a back up program. I like to do this if I get adventuresome and plan to do some major experimenting with my software. Saves having to reload everything if it crashes.

  • 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.....

  • Can not get movies purchased from iTunes to my computer

    Can not get movie purchases from iTunes to my computer

    Is the manually manage music and videos option still selected from under the iPod's Summary tab?  What happens when you try to drag files over to your iPod Classic?

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • Redownloading my previous movie purchases in iTunes

    Why can I not redownload my previous movies purchased on iTunes after Apple announced last night that you can know apparently do????

    Maybe you don't have iTunes 10.6? Maybe you are not in the USA?  Maybe it is one of the ones that isn't available?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows and movies. Movies available in the United States only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.

  • Do all movies purchased include iTunes Extras

    Do all movies purchased include "iTunes Extras"; extra fetures, deleted sceans etc.?

    I don't owe you an answer. I, like just about everyone else here, am just a fellow user. We don't get paid to help here, so it would pay you not to presume that we do and become demanding. And this thread was about a completely different subject and is from back in March. If you wish help with a problem, include more details in your own thread on the subject so that people have information on which to base a diagnosis and then perhaps someone will have useful suggestions.
    Regards.

  • I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) on my iPad2 in-flight

    I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) with the Video app on my iPad2 while flying. On a hunch, I purchased in-flight wifi and only then could I watch my rentals. What gives? Any suggestions on how to avoid paying for in-flight wifi is appreciated.

    I don't think that he waited a day.  From the wording, I concluded that he waited only minutes (during take-off).
    I recall seeing this issue before.  Apparently there is an issue related to copyright protection with some movies.  I stopped flying when I retired so I didn't pay too much attention to the problem.  Perhaps a search of the forum will shed more light.

    Is there anyway that you know of to utilize iTunes purchased content that has been downloaded to a device on a TV without internet? This really limits when it can be used on vacation or when internet is down etc.
    Will the lightning to HDMI dongle work?
    thanks for any help!
    This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
    I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.
