How to redownload purchased Movies and music

my old computer was stolen and the itunes library that was purchased was placed on it. How do i redownload the purchased movies and music to a new computer?

Thank you for your imput it is helpful.
Unfortunatly i did not properly back up. I am learning the value of personal back ups. I now own a time capsule and am backing up properly. I still want to take further steps. After all of these years i am seeing some more advantage to saving some files on an internet site server as well.
as i learn more about the apple world and things like 'me.com' maybe i can be much better prepared in the future.
Any tips you may have for me in this area would be appreciated.

Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?

Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?
Thanks anyone!

Just reinstall. Unless something's seriously wrong with your computer, you won't lose any content or settings. Of course it's always wise to have a backup before you make any changes to your computer.
Might I ask what problem you're experiencing that you think will be corrected by reinstalling iTunes?
Regards.

My purchased TV shows are on Apple TV, but my purchased Movies and Music is not, what gives?

My purchased TV shows are visible on Apple TV, but my purchased Movies and Music are not, what gives?
From Apple TV menu, I used to click on "Computer" and choose my laptop and I could watch TV, Movies, Photos, Music, whatever....
but now the "Computer" button incorrectly tells me that Home Sharing is turned off (which it isn't) and I can't find my purchased movies anywhere. Plus, it appears that I can't listen to music without iTunes Match which costs $25 a year... any advice out there?

I don't believe Apple is currently listing purchased movie content, like they do with TV episodes because of licensing restrictions. Big Movies views that as a streaming service, and not purchased content, so it is licensed differently.
As to your Home Sharing, there has been no change there. You can still Home Share your videos, photos, music from your computer that has Home Sharing turned on. Keep in mind iTunes needs to be running on that computer at the same time.
Also, one in awhile my computer is on, but it does not show under Home Sharing on Apple TV. When this happens, I do a hard boot (unplug from power and plug back in) of the Apple TV, and also restart my computer. Something happens once in awhile that it loses that connection. I haven't troubleshooted more than just doing a reboot. Obviously there is a root cause, but it doesn't happen to me enough to worry about tracking it down.

How do i transfer movies and music from my library to my ipad?

How do I transfer movies and music from my library to my ipad?

Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under Devices.
Click on the Movies Tab on the right side of the iTunes window
Select Sync Movies
Select the movies or videos that you want sync to the iPad
Click apply and sync
Use the same process for selecting the music that you want to sync.

HT5085 I can not find my purchased movies and music

I did a file clean up and after that I was not able to play music or watch movies.
the message I get when I click on movies or music is can not be used because original
file is not found. would you like to locate file. when I click to locate file, the message I Get is file not found.

What did you 'clean up' ? It sounds like you deleted your music and films from your computer - since doing it have you emptied your computer's recycle bin/trashcan, or are some/all of your music and/or films still in it so that you can put them back ?
If not then you might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases - what you will be able to redownload will depend upon whether you've moved countries since buying them (you can't potentially redownload another country's purchases unless you return to the country), and whether the rights-holder has removed them from the store. What you can redownload will show via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage. If you still have the item listed in the Music / Movies part of your library then iTunes will assume that you still have them somewhere and won't show the cloud against them in Purchased for redownloading - you will need to delete those entries (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' message when trying to play them) from your library for the cloud icon to show against them in Purchased.

How to redownload purchased movie on iPad2?

I purchased movie on iPad2 by iPad. My son remove it from the list, how can I redownload it back?

Lucky. Glad it worked out. It sounds like you had not finished downloading the movie on the ipad. If you have not completed the download, then you can download it. Once you have copleted the download it, you do not get to downloaded it again.
For your information ( from the itunes store terms of service):
"Some iTunes Products, including but not limited to Content rentals, may be downloaded only once and cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. It is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage iTunes Products once downloaded, and you may wish to back them up."
This inlcudes movies. You really need to backup your purchases.

How do I sync movies and music on Apple tv

I know that i have to keep my music on my imac, but how do i store music and movies on the apple tv, so I dont have to stream. When I go to apple tv on the device list in itunes, all I see is a photos tab.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Have you set up your library to sync.
See This
If you are only streaming go to the tv, select settings/computers/connect to itunes library (not shared library. You may need to unlink your library as a shared library first.

Cannot play purchased movies or music videos on ATV3 via AirPlay

Music, photos, and mirroring work fine. When I try to play purchased movies and music videos from iTunes, I get "Operation could not be completed -3". Everything is updated to the latest iOS. The router is a Belkin N450DB wireless on factory settings. This location also does not have internet, just the home wi-fi network. I have even plugged the ATV into the router via ethernet and still no video. I have tried and gotten the same results with iPhone 4s, iPad 3, PC laptop with iTunes with same Apple ID as ATV.
If it makes a difference, I setup, updated, and added my Apple ID to the ATV from a different location with internet, but moved it after I thought it had been set up. Thanks in advance for any tips, I am clueless!!

I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.
