HT204370 do i have to purchase a movie i have already purchased to gift it?

i am trying to gift a movie to a friend but i already purchased it and i am wondering if i have to repurchase the movie.

You will have to pay for the copy that you want to gift as part of the gifting process : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
So yes, you will need to pay the full purchase price again during the gifting

I forgot my security question answers. It has never asked me what they were, and now they are and I have already put a gift card on my account. I have used all my tries, but I need me some music!lol

I have forgotten my security question answers. I have never had to use them while purchasing, but I tried today, and they asked for them. So I now can't buy my music which really *****, because I am sitting in the hospital waiting room wanting to get some music, and I can't now. Is there a way I can get around that? Cause I seriously can't remember my answers. I don't even remember setting them up when I set up my account a couple years ago.

HT1725 When I click on a Movie I get the following "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu." Then get err = 11111

iTunes quit unexpectedly during the download of a movie. When I click on that movie now I get the following message: "You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu."
I follow the instructions, but the download still doesn't resume - err = 11111
Any advice?

Yeah, I am going to blast my iPhone for the 4th time today and pray this goes away. I had 6 apps showing updates, the 6 badge icon shows on the App Store on my iPhone and, having run them all, the 6 apps have two copies each on my iPhone: one that is the old version of the app and will not run and the other is a faded version of the app with an empty progress bar on the icon. Click those and you get an error message about connecting to iTunes, etc. as described in the article I linked to above.
It gets stranger than this. If I install a completely NEW app, the 6 that are stuck mid-update heal themselves and appear with the new version only, however now completely different apps (Hold Em for instance - which I did not update and didn't need an update) will not launch "app name Cannot Launch" message comes up.
Agh!

Just tap the "Buy" button. Make sure you have enough space on your iPad. The movie will be download to the Videos App.

You buy one and only one download.
It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Certainly you did not update your ipod without making sure that you had transferred anything purchased on the ipod to your computer and included it in your regular backup copy of your computer.

I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it. I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer. When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere. How do I watch the remainder of the rental?

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.

After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

On my itunes account, on macbook pro, my films have disappeared. When I go into itunes store and click on the film, it tells me I have already downloaded it. How do I retrieve the movies back

Any ideas how I retrieve my movies on itunes as it says I have already purchased them?

If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

The movie I rented at itune store failed to download. I tried to download it again, but it seems I would be charged again if I download. How can I download the movie I have already paid without being charged twice?

Hello ktsuchiya
If you can get your rental to download by going to Store > Check for Available Downloads, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

How do I remove a movie from my Wishlist that I have already bought?

How do I remove a movie from my Wishlist that I have already bought? If a movie is on the wishlist that I don't own, I can hit remove. If I have bought it, then it has no way of being removed.
It's a bug that needs fixing.

Many thanks but that did not help. I have numerous movies in my ITunes account. I have downloaded a previously purchased film from my Icloud account onto my phone. Obviously, this takes up about 3gb of memory. I therefore, need to push this film back into the cloud thereby removing it from my device. The advice from the link you provided is to swipe the film and you will get a delete marker. You don't. When I go on videos and then films all I get is a list of films I have previously purchased on my ITunes account. I have swiped them every which way it is possible to swipe something but I still don't get a delete or remove button.

HT1657 I rented a few movies and downloaded them to my computer. Before they had been viewed, I updated my iTunes software and the movies were no longer in my library. How can I access the movies as I have already paid for them?

Try here > iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
iCloud doesn't support movies...
iCloud backs up your:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.

Songs I downloaded are missing, I tried to redownload and it wants to charge me again even though it recognizes that I have already purchased the song..

I have songs that I have downloaded and even put on my ipod. They are no longer in my iTunes library. I found a help screen that says to download it again. I tried this, and the iTunes store acknowledges I have already purchased it, but wants to charge me again to download it. How do I recover songs I already purchased when they aren't in the library?

You CANNOT download music again.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put the music back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases

HT1386 When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says i have to set up my iPhone, and wont allow me to sync any media i have already purchased on it. My phone is not new, so I dont understand? This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software.

This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software. I have tried to re-set up my phone but it makes no difference and deletes everything off my phone.

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

TS5325 I have already purchased all the instruments but my app is saying they are not available. I have clicked already purchased but it says I need to login as original user???? Any ideas.

I have already purchased the full set of GarageBand instruments but the app is no longer recognising this. I have clicked on already purchased as it suggests in troubleshooting however it then says it can't install because I need to login as the original user??? Please help.

Are you signed into the AppStore with the same Apple ID you used when you originally bought GarageBand and the in-app purchase? If yes, then contact the iTunes Store, see:
