HT1600 how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared video so i can see it on apple tv
how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared videos so it links into apple tv
Well, it really depends on the file format your friends are using to send you the video. iTunes will only play certain formats, think of it as........having a car that only takes premium gasoline. If your friends give you a million gallons of regular gasoline, sure it's gasoline, but it won't work in your car. (That's a bad analogy but it's the best I can come up with).
So, if you open up your mail (are you using the Mail program on your computer, or going to a website such as gmail.com or yahoo.com to access your mail?), you should be able to right click the video and select to download it.
This should download it to your "downloads" folder, it should be on your dock if you didn't remove it. Click it, and select the "More in finder" button at the very top of the "stack". If not, click the "Finder" button on your dock, and on the left click the Downloads tab.
Now, you must find the video. It should have the name of the video with the extension (an example would be...... firstbirthday.mp4). The extension is the ".mp4" part. Yours may be .mov, .mp4, .mkv, .avi, the list goes on and on, but it's very important.
You can try dragging the movie into iTunes (drag it anywhere over where it says Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.) and it should hopefully turn to a little green bubble with +1. If the extension is not compatible, then, converting will be needed and that's a bit more tricky. It's also a little more tricky to get them to play on your Apple TV unless you use AirPlay.
Let us first know what extension these videos are in and we can go from there.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.
It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

You should start "Home Sharing". You will need to authorise your two computer. Once Home Sharing is activated, you will see shared iTunes libraries and it will allow you to simply drag'n drop any content.

HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another
how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another
The short answer is that you can't. Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them. AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

Read the manual for the device or search google.

I try download movie from purchased items on itunes but continues to stop. A box pops up saying connection has been reset. How do I fix problem?
kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it. -

Right-click(Windows) or control-click(Mac) any item in the iTunes library other than a rented movie, reveal it in the Windows Explorer or Finder, and navigate up the folder hierarchy.

I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?
Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable? The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device. I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer
When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks
What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
Use Go, Connect to server.
Type in the IP address if static.. eg
AFP://10.0.1.1
Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory. -

I do not have iMovie, so I can't try this!
Run iTunes with your iPad connected to the computer, either by the USB cable or by WiFi. Select the iPad under DEVICES in iTunes. Click on Apps at the top of the window and scroll down to File Sharing. If iMovie appears there, select it. The Documents window to the right is where you transfer files to (Add) and from (Save To) the iPad.

How do you print your purchase history from itunes?????
how do you print your purchase history from itunes??? why is the "print" function grayed out???? so frustrating
There is no way to print the Purchase History as a list. You'll have to do a screen capture instead and print that. If you have purchases that span across multiple panes in the Purchase History, you'll have to do a screen capture of each. Of you can print the receipts that should have been emailed to you.
Regards.
