How to move movies not downloaded from itunes to i pod
ok i have some movies that i didnt buy from i tunes and i was wondering if any one knows how to move them to i tunes and then on to my i pod nano please help
Sure. First thing is to simply try and drag and drop them into iTunes. If they are already in an iTunes compatible format (.AVI are not I believe) they will be added to your library.
If they are not added, then they may need to be converted with a third party format converter of some sort.
iLounge.com has TONS of articles and advice on third party applications that can do the job for you.
If the video goes into iTunes ok, next thing to try is syncing it to the iPod. If that works, you are all set. If it does work and you get an error that it can't be synced, it may need to be "tweaked" in iTunes. Right click the video and pick the Convert for iPod selection. iPods have more narrowly defined requirements as to what sort of video they can play compared to iTunes and a computer. So just because it plays in iTunes, doesn't mean it will automatically work on the iPod. So this is why you sometimes have to use that command.
Finally, if you convert MPEG files and get them onto your iPod and find they have no sound, that is another issue...
If the videos are multiplexed MPEG files then the audio and the video are muxed onto the same track. QuickTime, and therefore any application that uses QT like iTunes, the iPod, iMovie (Mac app), etc. expect two separate tracks, one video and one audio. So when you play these muxed files, the video is played and the audio is not heard.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
So you need to do a conversion on the file first. MPEG Streamclip is a popular one that comes in both Mac and Windows versions and is known to "repair" this problem.
Again, iLounge has lots of advice and article on converters you might try if MPEG Streamclip gives you problems.
Good luck!

Check the available languages available for the Movie BEFORE purchase and not after.

how do i access movies I have downloaded from itunes and permanently erase them from my cloud?
Hey okapi22,
Thanks for the question. Assuming you are attempting to clear up iCloud storage, it's important to note that iTunes purchases do not count against this storage. For more information, see the following:
Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, app data and documents stored in iCloud, and iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account).
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519
Additionally, you are not able to delete purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, but you are able to hide them. Take a look at the following article:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

Thanks,

My movie I recently downloaded from itunes "Act of Valor" only works for a out 5 chapters, then it stops working. Other movies work on my iPod touch. How do I fix this issue? If I can't, can I get my money back?
- Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload. -
I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?
If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -

How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?
How to fix incomplete music download from itunes?
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
My itunes is 100miles away from me and I want to move all the information on my iphone to my new itunes on a new computer including music which has not been downloaded from itunes and all my apps. Please help as I am still on version 3.1.3.
You should be able to extract the media from the device with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I've not had cause to personally test the method.

TS1424 Rented movie will not load from iTunes
I have been trying, without success, to watch a movie that I rented from iTunes. It will not load, loads after waiting for ages and then plays 2-3 minutes and stops. I have a 50MB connection so download speed is not a factor.
How do I contyact iTunes and request a refund?
I have now bought the movie!!
Thanks
StebeI'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".

The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

What do I do if the audio is off from the picture, during the movie that I downloaded from Itune
Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films or if it re-downloads with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

After downloading a movie in iTunes Store (with iTunes Extra feature), I don't know why I can't find the main movie file on my hard drive (only iTunes Extra file was showed). What can I do?
I can't find a movie I downloaded and iTunes wants me to purchase it again.

Movie Won't Download from iTunes on iPad
I recently purchased two movies from iTunes using a gift card I got for Christmas. I started the download and once the first movie got too about 3.2 GB of 6.2' it stopped and started over for no apparent reason. I tried multiple times to download both movies with no luck the first 24 hours. Was hoping to have it for my flight for my vacation. Over the course of the next three days I have tried downloading the first movie at least 15 times on various WiFi networks, It always begins the download and then either restarts it on it's own or now gives me an error message saying the movie cannot be downloaded at this time, please try again later. I finally got the second movie to download after 10 attempts, but still no luck with the first. I know for certain I had a continuous WiFi connection every time. I am EXTREMELY frustrated at this point. I still have remaining dollars to spend from my gift card, but figure why even bother? I really hope someone can give me an idea which works. So far I have deleted the beginning download on multiple occasions and also tried restarting after this 4 times and nothing seems to work.
I have been having this problem since iOS 7 released. I have a 32gb 3rd gen iPad. I seem to have some artificial cap of 7 items from iTunes on my iPad at once. Even with 6 movies I have 5.8gb left. I only download the SD versions.
As soon as I hit 7 movies/tv shows on my iPad downloads fail almost 100% of the time. They get near the end, freeze and then loop. Ocassionally I'll get a "Unable to download" error but most times it just keeps going over and over. Not only do I have this extremely annoying issue, but during this problem my iPad becomes nearly unusable. While downloading, my iPad runs so poorly I'll open my cover or press the wake button and the screen will remain off. I can press both buttons, open/close the cover and NOTHING. It will stay like that for a minute sometimes. IF it becomes usable apps will take 30 seconds just to open/close, scrolling is unresponsive for many seconds at a time and then scrolls all at once. It almost as if the download is using all of the CPU's power.
I have 253 movies I've bought in iTunes. I own 6 Apple TV's, 2 Retina Macbooks, 1 iMac, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. iTunes works great on all of those devices minus my iPad. My wife's, which is the same model minus a cell connection is fine. I am extremely annoyed with this problem. I've started to loathe using my iPad and thats just rediculous.
If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears, I've tried these fixes:
Erased all content/settings and restored from iCloud Back up
Erased all content/settings and restored but DID NOT use iCloud back up. (I did notice downloads worked great for the first few weeks, then went to crap.)
Tried force restarting the iPad when its acting up
Used my Time Capsule's Wifi - No change
Used my guest network from my Netgear router - No Change
Used my parent's wifi today - No change.
This doesnt seem to be a widespread problem, I've had trouble finding help on these forums. Apple is constantly silent and most other users never reply with the same problem. I'm close to giving up and getting a replacement from Square Trade. I will not buy a new iPad less than two years after getting that one, mainly out of protest. I have little confidence in the Air doing much better or lasting longer than this current one. -
Can movies/music be downloaded from Itunes in Bahamas?
It appears as though Itunes is only available in countries not including The Bahamas. Is it impossible to access Itunes from The Bahamas in order to download music and movies? If so, if I am in the USA, should I download content from Itunes to icloud and access the content in The Bahamas from Icloud - is this possible?
SBCallender,
To make purchases from the iTunes USA Store, you must be in the USA, as noted in the Terms and Conditions:
"The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
However, once you buy something, you can take it with you wherever you go. Buy what you need while you are still in the USA, and take it with you. Personally, I would not trust iCloud for this. Instead use a flash drive, iPod/iPad, or laptop.
Also, while you are in the Bahamas, you may purchase CDs and rip them, or you may check and see what MP3 stores are available there. You may purchase MP3s from any available online source and add them to your iTunes library.
