Downloaded movie from Itunes onto Ipad, when tried to watch it would not open and start.

From iTunes on the iPad or from iTunes on your computer? BTW, you are trying to watch the movie in the videos app, correct?
if you synced the movie to the iPad, delete it and sync it again. Tap the Edit Button in the Movies tab of the Videos app and then tap the X on the movie icon to delete it. Then sync it again.
if you downloaded it directly to the iPad, close the videos app completely, reboot the iPad and then try again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone had trouble downloading movies from iTunes on iPad 2? When I download they disappear.

ITunes on the ios device is a link to the store only.
Audio stuff is placed in the music app, video is in the videos app.

TS1398 Can't download movie from Itunes to Ipad.

I have a new IPad and am trying to download my first movie from Itunes. It takes all my account info and then won't download. I thibnk my wifi connection is OK--I get mail and have downloaded a few games.

Where are you physically located? Although I haven't heard of specific instances, if you read the store terms of use they do reserve the right to use technologies to monitor your physical presence in the store's country when making purchases. Even if you have a functioning US account, you are also supposed to be actually in the USA when doing the downloads.

HT4539 Downloaded movie from iTunes in iPad but doesn't show up

I tried purchasing a movie from ITunes on my computer first and it wouldn't finish so then I tried downloading it directly from the IPad and it doesn't show up at all. Am I missing something?

I haven't seen this or read about it here, but this is what I'd try, in order:
(I am assuming you activated the ipad, right? If not, do that first.)
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
3) Reinstall itunes on the computer.

How to download Movies from iTunes to iPad

I purchased a movie from iTunes on my iPad. I confirmed purchase and it looked like it was going to download. Nothing shows up in my download tab in iTunes and nothing is in my movies. I tried connecting to my computer but nothing happens then either. I tried to purchase again but the same thing happened. Anyone have any suggestions to what is going on or how to get my movies?

I ended up ordering from my laptop
Did you try as I suggested above?
You should not have re-ordered it.

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

HT1390 Does it use data to watch a rented movie from iTunes on IPad? Is it streaming or just downloaded?

You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.

Error 50 when downloading movie from iTunes

A movie I downloaded previously from iTunes onto my laptop (Win7) wasn't playing from my iPad2, so I erased it from the iPad and tried re-syncing it from my laptop...fail. After purchasing it a 2nd time from my laptop, the downlaod fails 25% into it, giving me a error 50. I've tried doing this hardwired and wirelessly with the same result, ran the network test....nothing. Any ideas?

Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.

If you cannot powerup the phone, there would be no way to recover the photos from the device. Have you tried to just connect it to the computer? If the photos are that important, have you considered possibly a 3rd party repair to just fix the screen so you can access the device, or was there more broken than the screen?

Is it possible to download movies from iTunes???

I was wondering if it was possible to download movies from iTunes to put on to your iPod, and burn to a disc. I have looked on iTunes and i can't find anything anywhere, however on the apple website there are images from films on iPods....so how do you do it????

I believe the plan that was announced when the Movies were introduced was to roll them out to other stores sometime in 2007 which obviously didn't happen. The reason that stores for different countries have different content is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies, film companies, TV companies and other copyright holders. These are quite often completely different from country to country and therefore all require their own individual contract negotiations. The varying content is not imposed by Apple, who would have a much easier job if they only had to maintain one multi-national store and deal with one set of licensees.
