I bought a movie on a different device after just changing the Apple ID on it and now I can't download it on my other device

I Didn't have my iPad with me so I use another iPad and changed the Apple ID on it so I could look at and buy the movie I wanted and watch it later on my own iPad. When I went to download it it wasn't in my videos but it was in my purchased. So when I went to download it, it wouldn't let me.

Did you buy or rent?
Rented movies that are rented on an ios device must be watched on that device and cannot be transferred to anything else.
I find it best to rent movies on my desktop, that way I can then transfer to my ATV or ipad.

I downloaded a movie on one of my computers, and yet I can't see it in my purchases and I can't download it on any other devices. Any suggestions?

Films will only show in your library if you've downloaded it on that computer or copied it from another computer. You checked the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage to see if it shows there for redownloading on that computer
If it doesn't show there then you can copy it over from the computer that you downloaded it on e.g. via home sharing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 (that page refers specifally to music, but it works for other content types as well).
Or you can right-clidck (control-click on a Mac) on the film in the iTunes library that it is on and select 'show in explorer' ('show in finder') and copy it to, for example, a flashdrive, and use that to copy it onto the other computer's iTunes library (File > Add To Library)

HT204161 I bought an IMac 27 on craigslist and I need to change the Apple registration to my name. How can I do it?

I bought an IMac 27 on craigslist and I need to change the Apple registration to my name. How can I do it?

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

I changed my apple ID email address and now all my devices are signed in under the old apple ID, but it wont let me change the icould account on any without a password. The problem is my new password for the new apple ID won't work or the old? help!!!!

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
Resolution
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

HT5557 I have ibooks on my ipad that were downloaded under an old itunes account that is no longer active. How can I download these ibooks on other devices?

ibooks were downloaded onto my husband's ipad under a different itunes account (a @me account that is no longer active or accessible). he subsequently used our family itunes account. The ibooks he originally bought that are on his ipad I cannot access and I would like to be able to download these onto my ipad to read.
How can I access these books on my ipad?

Your best bet may be to try and connect that ipad to your itunes and go to file-devices-transfer purchases, and then see if you can add them to your device. I doubt this will work however as they have DRM that will tell you they dont belong to the account you're using.
It is likely you'll need to try and use the account they were purchased with to redownload them.

I just upgraded to the latest version of IMovie and now I can not export my movie so that I can publish it.

latest version of iMovie has share but I can not get my movie to save to a file. all buttons click and it appears to have saved but I an not find the movie in the folder I saved it.

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

I had apower surge and blew out my modem. Bought a new modem / router, and now I can not download PDF files. If I use internet explorer I can download them. Not with Firefox, I'm using Firefox 5.0

Everything else works fine. I've tried with 3 different modems. I was told it wasn't the modem. Something else is preventing The PDF file from loading.I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled,checked all the settings. I can't find anything wrong. I figure it must be missing a plugin or something'''bold text'''

Adobe Reader>Preferences>Internet.

Why will sync not synchronize my information between devices after saying that the server was incorrectly configured and then saying that my password was incorrect?

I've recently started having this issue within the last few days. I started getting error messages saying that the sync server was incorrectly configured.
So I reset my sync data and then attempted to re-establish connectivity between my devices. Sync is now saying that my password is incorrect. I've reset my password twice and after each password reset I am getting the same error message saying that my password is incorrect. I should note that both times I double checked the password entry to rule out any fat-fingering lol.
Does anybody have any other information about this? I am wondering if a reinstall of Firefox will be necessary...thanks for any help you can provide! (:

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

TS1702 I have a iPhone which I purchased first. I put my email address as my apple ID. I have just purchased an iPad and add my other email address as the apple ID by mistake and now the photos will not stream between each device. I have tried to change t

I have an iPhone which I added my email address as my apple ID. I have just purchased an iPad which I add my other email address by mistake and now I am unable to stream my photographs. I have tried to change my email on both devises but with out luck as it won't reconise my pass word. Any ideas

Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Tap the ID and sign out. Then sign in with your other ID.
If this isn't working, restart the iPad - AFTER you sign out of the ID and then sign in with the correct ID after the iPad restarts.
There is no reason why you should not be able to sign in with the ID that you are using on the iPhone and use that passord with that ID on the iPad.

HT4859 i recently got the iphone 4s. and also got a new HP laptop. I connected my iphone for the first time on my computer and now i can't access my music on my device, any ideas?

I need help with my music. I got the Iphone 4s and plugged it in my new computer..I can see the list of my songs but as soon as i click to listen to it.. jumps into next song and I can't play any of them. I did my back up to Icloud yesterday..but not sure how to restore from that back up..also would like to have all this songs transfered to my computer
thank you

Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

How can I change the Apple ID on a device?

I have two cell phones, one for my wife and one for me, and an Ipad. Somehow I ended up paying for ICloud back up twice because one phone is under a different apple ID. I want to change the apple ID on that phone so it can have the same Icloud backup package and I can get rid of the extra plan.

Hello dennis6720,
The first thing is make sure that you pick the iCloud account that you want to keep storage for and downgrade the storage for the other account. Once that is done then it is a matter of signing out of iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud ,scroll down to the bottom and tap sign out. Then it is a matter of signing in to the iCloud account that has the storage and you are good to go. The articles below give you more information.
