"Movie name" was not copied to iPod/iPad because you are not authorised for it on this computer"
Can anyone help me, i need to put it on these devices today.

can i do it?A movie purchased from iTunes can only be played on iPods, iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs and authorized computers. Even if you transferred the movie to a flash drive, it wouldn't play on your DVD player.

How to transfer iTunes Movie rental? - PC to iPad
My boss's wife rented a movie from iTunes and dropped it onto her PC (her first mistake, lol!) and now she can't figure out how to transfer it from the PC onto her iPad 1. She says she knows how to sync her iPad but that she can't get the movie to transfer. She said something about a screen popping up and asking her to agree to "Terms & Conditions" but says that when she clicks on that, she's taken to a 'legalese' page with terms and conditions for every different country - not sure what all this is about, do you know what's happening?
She has not opened the movie so it should still be able to be transferred to her iPad.
Are there any simple instructions I can point her to? Are there any pitfalls, or tricks, she needs to look out for?
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!
NickThe iTunes Store may be asking for her to accept new terms for use of the Store, which get published from time to time. She should just accept the terms as presented.
As to transferring the movie, see:

How do I recover iTunes movie purchases deleted from my iPad 2?
My co-worker needed my iPad 2 for a road show ... he deleted iTunes purchased video (Disney Enchanted, and the CARS Bundle) ... I just purchased them 3 weeks ago ... I have HOME SHARING enabled, and can see the icons for these video files on my iTunes software on my desktop, but then iTunes says it "cannot find the files".
I thought it would be as easy as going to iTunes and just downloading the files again... iTunes warns me "you've already bought these -- do you want to buy it again?", and of course the answer is "NO, iTUNES, I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE FILES TO THE SAME DEVICE AGAIN" (but that isn't an option!).
What do I have to do to recover these files?
Don't tell me I have to purchase them again! That would be BULLSH*T (sorry, I'm annoyed and don't understand why this isn't easier. It should be OBVIOUS.)This doesn't seem like it was fully disclosed -- or at least, very clearly -- by Apple. I mean, c'mon ... you think it works like anything else
I ordered them on the iPad, and there was no pop-up notification that said "you should sync it (with the cable) to your PC" ... I have my order number and everything.
I mean, its the SAME DEVICE -- same identical iPad 2, same device serial number, same Apple ID ... I get that the movie studios don't want to see any piracy, and I support that (which is why I'm using Apple iTunes!) ... but what the heck is this "they're deleted off the device .. their gone!".
That seems very anti-consumer and I'm stunned that Apple hasn't taken a harder line about it, in the customer's interest. What if my iPad had been stolen? I mean, not my fault -- but the movies I purchased (digital media) aren't replaceable? I cry B-S.
(I appreciate your earlier response and really am not venting at you, but I take it Apple's Indian CSR is going to give me some scripted B-S response that won't be any different). -
I can't transfer a movie from my PC to my iPod touch. There is space available on my iPod.
I bought the movie on my old iPod and sync'd it to my computer, now I can't get it back onto my new iPod.
I have checked the "manual" add and delete box. When I check the sync box the alert box comes up and says that the system will automatically delete everything that I have on my iPod and I don't want to have to go back and reload the songs and books that I have already on the iPod. What am I doing wrong?

I want to move my itunes movies from my iMac to my Mac Mini, which is hooked up to my HDTV, so that I can save space on the iMac and use the direct source Mac Mini to view the iTunes movies that I purchase and download. Can anyone give me ideas on how to do that?
iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded. -
Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well. I also have an iPad and iPhone. In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc. I then just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID. Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?Welcome to AD!

Can I transfer movies from my MacBook to my iPod Touch 5th gen?
Yes. Import them into the iTunes library, converting them to MPEG-4 first if needed, and sync the iPod touch.

I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11
Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.
