well, i'm afraid that if you did not back up your purchases (as you are encouraged by Apple), they are gone. click here for information.
however, you may want to contact Apple through the iTunes music store link. you can try to explain the situation to them (via a web form), and they may send you a notice allowing you to re-download your purchased content
good luck !

How do I delete Movies and TV Shows in my iTunes Store download Queue?

Please help...
I have Apple TV and I purchase TV shows and Movies via iTunes Store. These programs and movies have successfully downloaded to my Apple TV and I have watched them and deleted them off the Apple TV Hard Drive.
My problem:
I do not have much free Hard Drive space on the older laptop that I currently have iTunes running on. Everytime I open iTunes on my laptop it starts downloading the very large movie and TV show files and I do not have enough hard drive space for them and I do not want them now that I have alredy watched them.
My questions:
1. Can you delete everything that is currently in my iTunes Store downlonad queue so these programs and movies will not try and download? If so, how?...
2. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening in the future?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

iTunes will not show me where the files reside (by right-clicking and selecting "show file" because the option doesn't exist for TV shows.
I don't understand, it does exist for tv shows.
Also, using the "delete" commend does nothing!
How are you using the delete command if you can't locate the file.
I have several shows taking up several gigabytes of disk space, and I can't locate them on my hard drive, or remove them from within iTunes!
Have you tried spotlight.

Downloading movies and TV shows

How do you download free movies and TV shows to rent onto an iPod Touch? I can't find it in iTunes...

When I try to sync tv shows to my Ipod touch I'm only given options such as "most viewed" "most recent" "least 3 watched" etc. Is there a way to pick exactly which TV shows I upload when syncing. Thanks
_Apologies..this shouldn't have been a response but a new post._

Auto-downloading Movies and TV shows not working

I have two Mac minis running iTunes 11.3 under Mavericks 10.9.3, each is logged in to a different iTunes Store account but otherwise setup the same. They as mentioned are logged in to iTunes Store accounts, and in Preferences I have set them both to "Always check for available downloads", "Download pre-orders when available" and ticked "Automatic downloads - Music". I have not ticked the "Automatic downloads - Apps".
There is no specific option to do "Automatic downloads - Movies" or "Automatic downloads - TV Shows" however supposedly the Music option should cover these as well.
Neither Mac is automatically downloading Movies or TV Shows, based on a suggestion elsewhere I have tried having "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" enabled and not enabled, this made no difference.
I do have iTunes running all the time because it is acting as a home-sharing server for a set of Apple TV boxes.
Is the problem that this automatic downloading only happens after relaunching iTunes?
Manually downloading by clicking on the cloud icon does work. Purchases may be made either on one of the Apple TV units, or on another signed in computer. The purchases are recognised by the Mac minis as when "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is turned on the new purchases as listed but not automatically downloaded. Using "Check for Available Downloads" in the Store menu does not cause it to download these new items either.
The Mac minis are authorised for their respective iTunes Store accounts.

Hi John,
Automatic downloading does not apply to Movies and TV shows, but does apply to music and other content. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does it take so long to download movies and tv shows from itunes

I can download songs pretty quickly from itunes, but movies and tv shows take anywhere from 12-24 hours. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

If you are downloading at work more than likely your bandwith is being throttled by your company. If your using a Mac, download a little utility called "MenuMeter" It runs in the menu bar and will display your connection speed.If your on a windows machine similar utilities are available as well. Once you find out what your speed is.it'll be much easier to trouble shoot!

Is it possible to transfer downloaded movies and tv-shows to iTunes?

I´m considering to buy the apple tv, but before making the purchase, I need to make sure that it won´t be a waste. So the question is: Is it possible to transfer my tv-shows and movies downloaded using utorrent, to iTunes, or in any other possible way to watch them on my TV via Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't transfer from the Apple TV, nor do you need to compromise your security with using third rate file sharing programs. You can redownload any content you purchase from iTunes on any device at any time.

How do I download movies

I just acquire red a new ipad2, how do I download movies and other useful applications to my iPad.

Apps can only be downloaded either from the iTunes App Store on your computer, or the App Store app on your iPad (you can't use 'normal' PC or Mac programs). Films/tv shows/music can either be bought and downloaded directly on the iPad (via the iTunes app on your iPad), or you can buy and sync them from iTunes on your computer (you can also copy your own music via iTunes).
You may find the iPad manual useful - you can download a copy from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

Should I be able to see my movies and tv shows because of itunes match?

I purchased iTunes match, and at first I could see my downloaded movies and tv shows on my devices. However I cannot see them anymore. I do not know if this is a setting in iTunes match or a different setting that changed?
Any ideas?

iTunes Match is for music only (and music videos purchased from the iTunes Store). Other video content is not supported.

Can "New" Corner Banner Be Removed From Movies and TV Shows?

After loading 7 seasons of The Big Bang Theory on iTunes 11, I see that iTunes has now slapped a Blue "New" banner on the upper right corner of all my new season titles of The Big Bang Theory (see attached photo) …. and I also see that after loading the TV Shows to my iPhone, that now the iPhone TVShow listing has a little blur indicator, showing the number of "New" episodes in each season.
The question is …. is there any way to eliminate the iTunes Blue "New" banner, thus also eliminating the blue oval notices on my iPhone as well?

I am not sure how to do that. I have it only in itunes at present. Can I access it other ways?
You burn them as you would any other data file on your computer. I'm using a different OS version than you so specifics probably won't help. Therei's probably a way in finder to create a burn folder, add items to it, then burn them to disc.
Also - how do I burn movies and tv shows onto disc to watch on a dvd player in our lounge room? help please
Niel answered this one already. You can't. They are protected against being played any other way than Apple approves.

How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type. The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
"H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
(earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes). If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

HT4623 I purchased an audiobook in I tunes on my computer, but cannot figure out how to download it on my phone....it always lets me download purchases of movies and tv shows but doesnt show an option for audiobooks

Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them. I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
a) Impossible
b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine
d) purchase an external USB drive and plug it directly to the apple tv 3
e) purchase a NAS drive and configure the apple tv 3 to use it
f) [your answer here]
Thank you,
Chris

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)

Previously purchased movies and TV shows unable to download again

I previously purchased some movies and TV shows.
When I cleaned my computer, I was unable to take them off my itunes and keep them from using my MacAir memory unless I removed them from my computer. I cannot uncheck them from my itunes library, I had to delete them from my Itunes Media folder.
This seems to have made it impossible to download them from the cloud to my computer again.
How do I fix this?
How do I keep these items in the cloud, but off my computer without using my hard drive?
Thank you

iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
(If it's not there, log out of hte store then log back in. It's kinda flaky)
All your purchases should show wtih a cloud icon next to the title.
Click the cloud icon to download or right click - Download.
If you just click Play, it wil stream and not download to your computer.

I am missing the iTunes Store Tabs for Music, Movies, and TV Shows. How do I add them?

I am missing the iTunes Store Tabs for Music, Movies, and TV shows. How do I add them?
It is very strange especially not having the Music Tab. I desperately want to download music...
Please help, anyone please, thank you.

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with.
