HT4759 I cannot download anything on to my iCloud storage and there is lots of gb available.btrying to downloads films from itunes

I cannot download an iTunes films on to my iCloud and there is plenty of gb space? This is the first time I'm using the iCloud storage tha I've purchased

You can't upload films to iCloud no matter how much storage you have: it doesn't provide general file storage in the manner of Dropbox or the defunct MobileMe iDisk. Its storage space is specifically for email, iWork 'Documents in the Cloud' and iOS backups.
'iTunes in the Cloud' has nothing to do with iCloud and I wish Apple would stop suggesting they're related - they aren't. Songs you purchase on one device from iCloud can in most cases be downloaded again to other devices; and 'iTunes Match' will match or enable you to upload songs your've taken from CDs or obtained elsewhere. However purchased films can't be download in this way because of rights restrictions by the distributors: a puruchased film can only be played from the device it was purchased on (directly or through an Apple TV).

  • When we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile

    when we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account.  this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it.  I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile.  How do i go back to that old account and delete it so that I can continue backing up on the newest account?  I changed it because the original one I created an iCloud account with is a yahoo account email address and I am deleting my yahoo account for being compromised too may times. 

    Well, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password if you can answer the Security Questions:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you cannot remember the Security Questions you can contact iTunes Support to reset them for you:
    New iTunes Support - US and ww
    Once you get your password reset and you can access your account info on Manage your Apple ID, you can change your ID. You won't be able to use the same email address that you are using for the new ID unless you change that one to something else. But, if you can get back into your old ID and change it to a new email address, then you can go on using that old ID, and just manually move the iCloud stuff you added to your new ID back onto the old one. Most of the stuff (like Contacts, Calendar, Notes) can be added by logging onto https://www.icloud.com on your Mac and doing it that way (it is a lot simpler when you have an actual keyboard in my opinion)
    Hope this helps you to sort out the two ID business. If you have any questions, please post back!
    Cheers,

  • The itunes store wont let me download anything i click the buy button and it asks for my password but it wont download

    when i went to itunes on my computer it would start downloading the apps i purchased on my phone but would get stuck a processing file, then when i went to purchase a movie i would click the buy button and it would ask my password but then would not purchase or download. So i decided to buy the movie from my phone and then try to download on my computer from the purchased section but still wont download on my computer and it doesnt give me a reason why

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    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.

  • My downloaded films from iTunes are no longer viewable

    My downloaded films from iTunes are no longer viewable.
    I bought a lot of films from iTunes since ive had my Mac and now all of a sudden it wont let me view any of my movies, anyone got any ideas why ?

    Hi Winston Churchill -
    Nothing comes to mind, but lots of things could have happened between then and now. There are the obvious software updates that take place - either via Apple or other third party stuff - but I don't have anything installed that I know of that would be an 'enhancement' to iTunes or AppleTV.
    That said, I ended up forcibly removing all movies from AppleTV by unmarking the sync boxes in iTunes, and then syncing with the Apple TV. I then broke the sync between AppleTV and iTunes, and then re-selected my iTunes library from AppleTV. Finally, in iTunes, I re-established the syncing with my movies and now they all play correctly.
    A lot of gyrations for sure, but it made things start working again. I'm still curious why movies downloaded after 5/17/08 wouldn't play... perhaps a change in Apple's DRM that manifested itself in an unexpected way? Who knows? But at least it's working again.
    Thanks everyone!

  • HT5085 I have purchased a film from iTunes but it won't allow me to download.  I need to transfer other films onto iCloud to give me enough space.  How do I do that please

    Hi, I have purchased a new film from iTunes but I cannot download it as i don't have enough room.  I have other films that I need to transfer to icloud before I can download the new one but don't know how to do this.

    You should be able to re download the book on your iPad.
    Try here >   Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    On your iPad tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
    Swipe down and make sure Books is switched ON.
    Purchased books should appear when tapping the iBooks icon now.

  • My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud storage and backup, it says that I have 5.0 GB of total storage and 5.0 GB of available storage.

    My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!

    It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

  • Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

    Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
    Any suggestions very welcome!

    Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Before that, back up your device, explained here:

  • Got a new mac today, I created my iCloud account (and therfore my Apple ID?) I tried to set up my iTunes and download updates, and it says i need to review my account, then I had to edit my Apple ID details, but said my email address was invalid???

    From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled.  You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
    Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
    You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.

  • Downloading a film from iTunes to iPad

    Have purchased a film from iTunes but it is taking hours o download, help!

    What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)
