How do I move and store my purchased items from itunes from my pc to icloud?

I'm trying to watch a rented movie on my pc through itunes, but itunes won't let me download anymore because my pc lacks memory. So I'm trying to free up some ram on my pc, by storing all of my purchased items from itunes on my pc and moving it to my icloud account. Will that solve the problem? And how do I do that exactly?

Hi DKX31,
To set up iCloud on your PC, you will want to follow the instructions in this article -
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
If you want to keep your purchased content in the iCloud, you will want to enable iTunes match

  • Audio and video tracks in movies and tv shows purchased at the itunes store do not play in sync on my desktop PC - can anybody help?

    Any thoughts?

    Purchased movies from iTunes are automatically available on Apple's cloud, but not as part of your purchased storage; purchased movies are stored free, since you can redownload them any time (unless the movies are no longer available).
    From Apple:
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails

  • How to buy movies and store them?

    Is there anyway to buy movies/tv seasons on iTunes and store them somewhere other than your device (iCloud?). My 16 gb iPad 2 will hold 1 tv series season but then I would have to delete it if I want to open up storage for other things on my device. I can only buy these (not rent) and I hate to pay money to buy something and then have to delete it.

    Buy them with iTumes on your computer.  They will be stored in your iTumes library.  Then sync your phone to add and remove them from your phone.

  • I bought a new computer authorized it, and transfered my purchased items, but itunes wont let me manage my ipod through itunes, i.e. I cant arrange  my spring board install or uninstall apps through itunes everything on the ipods apps page is unclickable?

    I can't change anything on my ipod through itunes what might be the problem? I stransfered everything, I authorized my computer but I cant use the apps page on itunes all the apps inside the ipod picture and on the side are faded and I cant click on any of them, and I need it to arrange my apps in my ipod , since its much easier this way. any solution?

    Because you changed your syncing iTunes library.  You can only sync to one iTunes library.  If all yur apps and music and other stuff in on your new computer you have these options:
    - Restore from backup.  Check the Devices tab in iTunes' Prferences to see if there is there.  You can tell by name and date.  If it is there then restore from that backup. If the backup is not there you need to go back to your old computer and move/opy the iPod backup to the new computer.  That file is located:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
    - If you do not have the backup all you can do is to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync everything from the new computer.  You will lose app data.

  • TS1368 We are unable to find iTunes on your computer?..just had this on my iPad recently and can't purchase items from iTunes

    We are unable to find iTunes on your computer....just had this pop up and unable to connect to iTunes

    I have no Norton security or whatever, just Windows firewall.
    So i guess it cant be a firewall error or something.
    We'd better check the Windows firewall, just in case:

    Update to iTunes 10.3.1
    After you have finished, you can re download your iTunes purchases without having to re purchase.
    iTunes 10.3.1
    " Download Previous Purchases. Download your past music purchases again at no additional cost. Your purchases are available in the iTunes Store on your Mac or in the iTunes app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store."
    "Available on iTunes in the U.S. and Canada only. Title availability is subject to change."

  • How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

    Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
    Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
    It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
    My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

    If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
    If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

    I just moved to the US from other country. How do I move my current apple id to US iTunes store?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

    kapots3v4,
    if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it.

  • How can I move and scale my photos

    How can I move and scale my photos so that I can use them for wallpaper?  After update, I'm no longer able to do this as much as I need to.  They just pop back to their original size or larger.

    You will either need to turn Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion 'on', or create a higher resolution versions of your images
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :
    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
    Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.

    Delete the App and redownload it...
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle.
    You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner.
    Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    ( You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.)
