How do I recover iTunes movie purchases deleted from my iPad 2?

My co-worker needed my iPad 2 for a road show ... he deleted iTunes purchased video (Disney Enchanted, and the CARS Bundle) ... I just purchased them 3 weeks ago ... I have HOME SHARING enabled, and can see the icons for these video files on my iTunes software on my desktop, but then iTunes says it "cannot find the files".
I thought it would be as easy as going to iTunes and just downloading the files again... iTunes warns me "you've already bought these -- do you want to buy it again?", and of course the answer is "NO, iTUNES, I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE FILES TO THE SAME DEVICE AGAIN" (but that isn't an option!).
What do I have to do to recover these files?
Don't tell me I have to purchase them again!  That would be BULLSH*T (sorry, I'm annoyed and don't understand why this isn't easier.  It should be OBVIOUS.)

This doesn't seem like it was fully disclosed -- or at least, very clearly -- by Apple.  I mean, c'mon ... you think it works like anything else
I ordered them on the iPad, and there was no pop-up notification that said "you should sync it (with the cable) to your PC" ... I have my order number and everything.
I mean, its the SAME DEVICE -- same identical iPad 2, same device serial number, same Apple ID ... I get that the movie studios don't want to see any piracy, and I support that (which is why I'm using Apple iTunes!) ... but what the heck is this "they're deleted off the device .. their gone!". 
That seems very anti-consumer and I'm stunned that Apple hasn't taken a harder line about it, in the customer's interest.  What if my iPad had been stolen?  I mean, not my fault -- but the movies I purchased (digital media) aren't replaceable?  I cry B-S.
(I appreciate your earlier response and really am not venting at you, but I take it Apple's Indian CSR is going to give me some scripted B-S response that won't be any different).

    Videos aren't in photo stream.  However, if you backed up your phone while these photos and videos were in your camera roll, you could recover them by restoring to the entire backup.

  • How can I recover only 1 Note deleted from my iPhone 4S

    I accidentally deleted 1 important note from my Notes and it got sync'd so it's deleted from all devices.
    How can i recover that note? My iPhone was backed up and that note is probably in the back up, but i don't want to restore the entire device to that back up.
    Is there a way to recover just one deleted note?

    Sorry, restore from backup is all or nothing deal.

  • Somehow iTunes has been deleted from my IPad. How do I get it back? A

    iTunes has disappeared from my iPad, and Farmville is taking money I haven't authorized. I don't have Facebook authorised to take payments which presumably means the money can only be going through iTunes, so I really need to get the app back to cancel all payments. (Unless some kind person out there knows some other way.) 
    I'd be so grateful for any help at all in re-installng iTunes  - the Apple site just sends me in circles and won't offer any way to re-install. To make matters worse, the appstore icon has also disappeared from my iPad too so I can't get at it that way.
    And if anyone also knows how to stop Farmville (whose contact link conveniently - for them - doesn't work) taking my money that wouod be brilliant.
    To sum up:
    iPad 2
    No iTunes link or icon
    Need to re-install?
    Apple site no help
    No money authorised in Facebook, but money taken by Farmville
    Money going via iTunes?
    No way into iTunes to stop it
    No appstore link or icon, so no way in through that
    Aaaaaaargh!
    Help. Please.

    I tried turning those off but they only seem to function to allow/ prevent auto download to the iPad from other linked computers, e.g. When i download a book to my Kindle I can allow/prevent it also loading in the
    Kindle app on the iPad.
    I've changed my Apple identity and password, and removed my bank card info which I hope will stop any further financial  shenanigans, and Farmville seems to have registered it. Did all this deep inside thebsettings app.
    But still can't work out how to get the iTunes store or the apps store back.
    Really appreciate you tryimg to help, and so speedily. I was beginning to think I'd have to cancel my bank card, *not* something I want to do a week before Xmas!
    If this were a pc I'd know what to do; 25 years and counting experience delving into their virtual innards, resetting registry, etc., but this Apple game has whole new rules I haven't hada chance to learn yet, and it doesn't seem as amenable to amatuer tinkering.
    But i do love my new toy, so am very sad that it's broken. Amy further help very greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for suggestions so far.

  • How do I redownload itunes music files deleted from my harddrive?

    My hard drive was damaged and  now I've lost at least half of my purchased music.  DO NOT LINK ME TO THE SUPPORT PAGE HERE ON APPLE!!!!! That method does not work  for songs that are pre-iCloud and don't try to tell me otherwise! these songs are not on any of my devices, I have a new iphone and that it is (my old one was damaged beyond repair, lost a lot of files on that too). I have records of purchasing all of these items  on the itunes store yet I cannot find the option to re-download them. When I look them up in purchased,  it gives me the option  to play them then  just asks me to locate the file, which  I  cannot as  it is not on my  new hard drive. I am very, very angry with apple for not giving me this option as I've  given them hundreds of dollars,  those songs belong to me now and I have every intention  of  getting them back. I would appreciate some  help doing so  if you would be so kind. Thank you. 

    Does it show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage ? If the track is no longer in the Music part of your library then it should show there with a cloud icon against it for redownloading. Or you can go into Edit > Preferences in iTunes, and on the Store tab there should be a 'shows iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box, ticking that should get music to show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it which you can click on to redownload it (again the 'locate file' entries will need to be deleted for them to show).
    Store preferences tab (there is a bug on this forum affecting images so it might not show) :
    If the tracks still don't show with the cloud icon then try closing/re-opening iTunes.
    If you've taken a backup of your iTunes library then only you will need know what you did with it. Do you have any external drives that you might have copied your library onto ? A backup of an iOS device does not include the contents of its Music app.

  • How can I recover pictures that were deleted from my Playbook after a OS upgrade?

    The playbook would not back up when i connected to my pc via the BB desktop manager.
    The message that popped up in the desktop manager advised the Playbook counldnt connect and the solution was it needed an update. When I okayed the update, the new OS was installed.
    All I did was click ok to the message. Nothing popped up telling me the playbook would be wiped.
    Now, all my pics and videos are gone - and have not been backed up. Is there any solution?
    Thanks for your time.

    Yes.  I tried the refresh and checked the uninstall tab.  Still nothing.  Another thing though - when I entered my Blackberry ID, it would not let me use my screen name because it was supposedly already in use.  But I knew that because it was in use by me.  It would only let me use the same name with a numerical suffix.  So I am wondering if it thinks I am still logged on from before the upgrade.  Also, is it possible the Playbook thinks I am some other use and won't let me access my files - like photos and videos, etc.

    You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

  • I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive. 

  • Switching iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues to iTunes on a new computer.  The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure.  How do I recover iTunes?

    I'm trying to moves iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues (non working screen, keyboard, and battery) to iTunes on a new computer.  The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure.  This was a cost effective way instead of dumping lots of money in an outdated old laptop while I can invest it into a new laptop.  How do I recover iTunes?
    I'm switching from a 3G phone to a blank 4GS in the process.  I would like to have everything that was on my 3G phone and iTunes on my new phone and computer.
    Thanks

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • HT1535 how do I move my music from my ipad to a new computer with itunes?

    how do I move my music from my ipad to a new computer with itunes.  I have already done the purchases

    If you want to copy music off then File > Transfer Purchases will only copy iTunes purchased music off the iPad. To copy music bought from other sources and/or copied from CDs then you will need to use a third-party program to copy them off - see the page that I linked to for some examples.
    There is some help on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • TS1424 I purchased a movie on itunes but am unable to play it.  I get a window that says unable to view.  First time I've tried an iTunes movie purchase.  The movie is Pulp Fiction.

    Purchased Pulp Fiction as my first ever iTunes movie purchase.  Won't let me view movie, says not available...  Frustrated.  What am I doing wrong?

    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...
