HT3209 HD Movies wont download

Last week I rented two HD movises and now all of a sudden iTunes won't let me rent an HD movie because my laptop doesn't have HD capability. I want to play it with my AppleTV later, but the options just let me Cancel or download the SD version. Does anyone know a way around this nonsense?

You can download the HD version on the computer by going to the purchased tab in iTunes. As long as the movie states that it will be availeble in the cloud after purchase, you can download it again on the computer. If not, you will have to sync it to your computer. You will be able to keep it on both devices.

    some of my movies won't download to my ipod touch

    Taz,
    Are you getting any error messages while syncing your iPod? Do all of these movies play okay in iTunes?
    Have you doubled check your sync settings for movies on your iPod from under its Movies tab in iTunes?  See this article for more information.

  • I have purchased two movies on the store that at the time were unable to download, due to a full start up disc. I have now freed up the space and the remainder of the movies wont download. It gives me the error code 8003. I have a good network connection.

    I have purchased two movies on the store that at the time were unable to download, due to a full start up disc. I have now freed up the space and the remainder of the movies won't download. It gives me the error code 8003. I have a good network connection and the space for the movies, but cant seem to get it to work. Anysuggestions? It doesnt even let me delete the downloads and start again.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Movie wont download to apple tv

    I have tried to rent kings speech on appple tv 2, and when it tries to start to download it hangs and then says there is an error.
    In exasperation I slso tried to rent it to my apple tv 1, as the rental gets stored to the disc. But even this did not work, and it just hangs on download at 0%.
    I can watch trailers etc, watch stuff / listen to music that is stored on the mac using home sharing. I've reset the apple tv 2, to no avail.
    There is no problem with my download speeds, itunes in mac is fine, I can download whatever I like from from there.
    Thanks for help in advance

    May be an issue with Apple's servers - frustrating if you want to watch soon, but if not recheck for downloads in the Settings menu and see if it progresses - if not raise a support query with iTunes store asking them to refund the rental.

  • I movie wont download

    It is preventing me from using the old software, while also not actually installing the update. I need to use Imovie and could care less for the update, how do i stop this?

    Are you sure it said you "didnt have enough icloud storage"? Insufficient iCloud space should not prevent downloading to the device, only insufficient space on the device.

    Hey Patiencepieart!
    While there is not enough information in the post about your circumstance to be able to say for sure, but here are some tips from the iTunes movie rental FAQ that may be helpful to you:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657
    Where can I watch my movie rental?
    You can watch your movie rental on your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later), iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation), or on your TV using your Apple TV. You can watch HD movie rentals on your computer, iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or with Apple TV.
    How many times can I view the movie?
    Once you start watching your movie, you can view the rented movie as many times as you wish within the 24-hour (or 48-hour) window.
    What happens to my rented movie if I don't watch it?
    If you don't watch your rented movie, it will expire in 30 days and disappear from your iTunes library. You will need to rent it again in order to watch it.
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    This Apple article might help ya out -> iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    Try following along with the article and deleting the cached downloads, then try again.

    Are you putting in the address where the bank sends the monthly statement?
    Apple's servers are very picky about the format of the address. If you live in the USA, then the server is expecting the style that the US Postal Service uses. One way to do this is to use the USPS ZIP Code lookup service;
    https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action
    Enter the address to look up the ZIP code and then copy the exact USPS output into your iTunes account information.
