How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

Hey Hey!
Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space.
Thanks!

Deborah,
You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes. The syncing process is only one way. However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder. From there you can copy them back over to your PC.
Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

How can I get an HD movie from iTunes store to play on original iPad

I recently purchased an HD movie--Brave--from the iTunes store. I'm trying to play on my original iPad (iPad 1), but iTunes refuses to synch it because it says it is an unsupported format. The movie is in 1080p format. I typically get both HD and SD formats when I purchase movies, but iTunes no longer downloads the SD version automatically when I purchase the HD version. I attempted to get an SD version from the store, but it said I already purchased the movie and instructed me to check the downloads. There is no SD download pending and a check for new downloads was fruitless.
Can someone confirm that the original iPad is unable to play HD video? I imagine it is the 1080p that's the problem. Can anyone confirm that 720p would work? Is there no longer a means to get both HD and SD when purchasing a movie from the iTunes store? If there is, how?
Thanks for your help.
Jamie

You can get the SD or 720p version by:
Open iTunes 11
Click iTunes in menu bar > select Preferences...
Click on the Store tab
Change When downloading High Definition videos, prefer dropdown to 720p > click OK
Click on the iTunes Store button
Click Purchased link
Click Movies tab
You should now see a download icon for the movies you already have 1080p version of.
Click on this download icon to download the 720p version.
This will put a 720p version in the same folder on your hard drive as the 1080p version. If you have iTunes setup to play 1080p when available, it will play the 1080p version. When you connect your iPad 1, it will sync the 720p version.
Don't forget to change your preference back to 1080p so you can continue to get the higher quality version.

I have a 160GB iPod classic. How do I get my HD movies from itunes to this iPod?

I have a 160GB iPod classic. I have HD and 1080P HD movies purchased through itunes. How do I get them to my iPod classic? It has plenty of storage. It gives me errors that make no sense to me. If making an error message, why can't they be more specific? The error messages unknown error occured (-50) audio and because they cannot be played on this iPod, "The Bourne Identity" was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod. I'm tired of buying 20 different versions of this and 20 different devices to play items I've purchased. Can anyone help with this issue please?
Thank you.
Henry

Hello Henry,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your movies purchased through the iTunes Store to your iPod classic. I found an article with some useful information:
The iPad and iPhone 4 can play High Definition (HD) content and Standard Definition (SD) content. iPods and the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS can play Standard Definition (SD) content. To find what video formats are supported, see the Tech Specs page, click your device's product family, and then your specific model. All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.
You can find the full article here:

You can download the SD version of the movies from your list of past purchases. You can find the steps to do this in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:

How do I move purchased movies from itunes to the cloud to free up space on my laptop?

How do I move purchased movies from itunes to the icloud? I only want them off my laptop (library), as I need more space. I want to keep them on the ipad they have been moved to.

Delete them from the local computer. Nothing gets moved. If the content was purchased from iTunes it should be available for download again in the future.

If the device is synced with iTunes on the computer and the content is deleted from iTunes it will also be removed from the device.
Realistically, if you want to keep the content, keep it stored locally. Purchase an external drive to store the content on. Keep in mind that iOS devices are NOT backup devices, they merely mirror the content in the iTunes library on the computer.

Did you rent the film directly on the iPhone ? I've never rented films, but from : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
If you've rented a film on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to sync it to your iPad from your computer's iTunes via the Movies tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on its left-hand side

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.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?

How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie? I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.

When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container. You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X.

Restore the device from the backup created.
If no backup exists, there is nothing to recover.
