HT200109 CAN I DOWNLOAD A PURCHASED MOVIE ONCE AND STORE IT?

I purchased a movie from i-loons and I am forced to wait 2 hours every time I want to watch it!!!!! I have a very slow DSL connection, due to where I live, and there are no faster options available.   Is there a way to actually download the movie, THAT I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR, ONE TIME to my Crapple TV or Computer so I can ACTUALLY WATCH IT WHEN I WANT?????? If not this is yet another nail in the coffin for that GREEDY, CONTROLLING, NEVER PLAYS NICE WITH OTHERS, ANAL, DICTATORIAL CRUMPANY CALLED APPLE!!!!
As a side note I see this question has been asked before, about 6 monts ago, and there has been NO answer or help to this question!!????!!!

Calm down Steve!
AppleTV 1 had a hard drive and allowed purchases to reside on it and copy back to iTunes.
AppleTV 2 and 3 are smaller/cheaper and do not have any useful storage and therefore can't store copies of multiple items on them - there is supposedly 8GB of memory which is just enough for an HD movie and other uses.
Apple in their wisdom have decided we all have unlimited fast broadband which is not the case for many, myself included.
It's not the greenest option but provided you don't mind playing the video from iTunes on your computer attached to the LAN, this is easily achieved.  You enable Home Sharing in iTunes and on AppleTV.  Under Computers icon your local iTunes library content is available to select and play.  If you have more than one iTunes running you can select the library to use.
Going forward you may want to make any new purchases (or rentals) directly in itunes and provided the computer is on they'll play across the LAN not the internet.
For existing purchases, assuming Apple offer iTunes in teh cloud you should be able to download the existing purchases to itunes on teh computer quite easily.
In iTunes got to the iTunes Store home page with the house icon.
On the far right under Quicklinks go to Purchased, and browse and/or download past purchases.  For HD material go to itunes Preferences to select 720p or 1080p as preferred download format.  You can download SD if needed.
Good luck.

    Hello Addymay2,
    I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores. After this, close all open apps and restart your device. Once your iPad is powered back up, sign back into your Apple ID in Settings -> iTunes and App Stores.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • Can't download a purchase from Mac App Store

    I recently bought OSX Lion and redeemed it through the Mac App Store. When I go to my purchases, I see it there and I click the download button, but it doesn't download. The little spinning gear shows up for a few seconds in the top left corner and then it stops and nothing happens.
    I currently running Snow Leopard on an old white Macbook that I got in 2007. I'm pretty sure this is the last update I can do for my operating system.
    I downloaded Hands Off! but that didn't do anything, and I've tried resarting my computer but that isn't doing anything either....
    Help?

    I have a friend in the same boat - she just got a used Mac and I am her "helper". It's a mid-2010 iMac, on 10.6.not sure. LOL I was walking her through a purchase on the App Store and when she clicked the price and then buy/get, nothing happens. No drop down window that pops into the main window where you can enter your Apple ID or create one if you don't have one. I had her establish her Apple ID and get that party started, still nothing. Hard to find anything else out there on the web for solutions.
    She's friends with the people that had the Mac before and they did do some cleaning up the hardware prior to giving it her, but nothing is obvious about fixing this issue. I asked her to double check with the friends. Glad to know that she's not the only one with this problem.

  • Can't download iTunes purchased movie to my iPhone

    I can see the movie there in my recently purchased section.
    I connect the phone, tick the movies I want to download then press 'apply"
    But then I get this message:
    My phone isn't synced with another library. This is the only one I use.
    I've updated software etc and can see everything there on my library but can't get the movies!
    Any ideas?

    You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

    I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
    in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
    In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
    I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content.  I no longer can.

    There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
    Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

  • How many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purchased it?

    Last September I purched my update to Quick Time Pro. Now I bought a new Computer and re-formatted the old one, not being able to copy Quick Time Pro from the old to the new computer. Therefore I wanted to download again Quick Time Pro: In the settings window I introduced my program key and then "accepted". It said "Quick Time pro" below the registration line; however, the "apply" buttom was not operative. I checked and my Quick Time version was still "Quick Time 7", not Pro. My question is: how many times can I download Quick Time Pro once I purched it? If I can download it more often than once, how do I proceed? Thank you for your help.

    I started this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2454706&tstart=0
    but I'm afraid it's so involved that thus far, nobody has "touched" it.
    However, PART of my problem is similar to THIS person's.
    My problem is that I have QT on two different drives in one computer; the one I paid for [QT Pro?] and one I got for free; QT7. I fear the free QT7 might have "interfered" with my "Pro".
    So, taking your advice above, looking in the "Help" "About" menu, I find that BOTH of mine another "offer" above the word "About"; they suggest that I "Purchase QT Pro"...... so now, if BOTH of my QT's say THAT, then may I conclude that I do NOT have the Pro version? I'm meaning to say that if I already HAVE the Pro, they wouldn't suggest that I go and "Buy QT Pro".... right? Is this a safe conclusion? for ya'll that HAVE the Pro, and KNOW it, does it suggest to you that you could go and "purchase QT Pro"?
    Thanks,
    LarryR : )
