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.

    2 Some movies may not be available from iTunes in the Cloud. These movies, if purchased in HD, will download both the HD and SD versions for you to sync to your compatible iPod and iOS devices. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

    Do you have a question ? Not all content is available for re-downloading e.g. if the content provider (or Apple) removes them from the store, and there are also some film studios (in countries where film re-downlaoding is possible) who haven't agreed to allow their films to be re-downloaded.
    Otherwise, re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • How to download music from itunes in the cloud to iphone in one step

    Hi, after having software Problems, i set up my Iphone again. Now, the following problem exists:
    All music, I have bought beforehand from Itunes is shown with a cloud symbol so that I could download the music easely from itunes in the cloud again. I tried to load this music by connecting the iphone with my PC, but it is still shown with the cloud symbol. I am not using icloud!
    It is too much music to download it this way (pushing the symbol on the phone). Can anybody tell me another way? How can I bring my music to my Iphone again???

    If your music has a cloud icon means the music is not on your iPhone/computer iTunes locally.
    You can download the music through Purchased tab then sync your iPhone with the music selected.

    I cannot find a way to authorize my new computer to play previously purchased music from itunes.  The directions say to click on STORE menu, but I don't see that option.

    Go to the Store menu item on the menu bar, and choose Authorize This Computer, as shown below. 
    If by any chance you don't see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help), first enable it by using CTRL+B.

  • Can't download from iTunes in the Cloud

    iTunes Match and iTunes in the Cloud for Music has just been enabled for Denmark.
    Hence music I have purchased should now be available for download on my iOS devices, e.g. my iPad.
    However, when I attempt to download a song, via the Purchased 'tab' in the iTunes Store App, where I get a list of my purchases all marked with the iCloud icon, I get the error "The item you tried to buy is no longer available", see the screenshot below. I know the song IS available in the store, but I get the error none the less, and I get the error for all songs.
    Is iTunes in the Cloud just not ready or is something else going on? I have tried to sign out and sign in again, restart the app, etc. to no avail.
    Suggestions? - I write iTunes support and wound up in an endless loop of nonsensical replies

    I too have now opened up a ticket to address the issue.
    This is the details from my ticket including my current symptoms:
    Hi team,
    'iTunes in the Cloud' has recently been rolled out in Denmark, however, I am unable to make it work.
    Symptoms include:
    * On iOS devices I am able to play previously purchased music, but I cannot download the music for offline use.
    * On Apple TV I cannot sign in when clicking the "Music" app.
    * AirPlay from iOS devices to Apple TV only works when I set the Apple TV setting "Play from iTunes in the Cloud" to 'Off'.
    Please also note the following forum thread that has users from Denmark, Sweden and Norway seeing the same symptoms:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24130694?ac_cid=tw123456#24130694?ac_cid=t w123456
    I'll keep you updated.

  • I accidentally removed my iPad from iTunes in the cloud manage devices.    is there any way I can restore this?

    I accidentally removed my iPad from iTunes in the cloud manage devices is there anyway I can restore this?

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
