I bought a movie on iTunes and it shows up in my purchases but it won't let me play it. Help?

I bought Silver Linings Playbook for 12.99 in SD a little while ago. I have been unable to watch it because while it shows up in my purchases it will not let me click play, or any other options for that matter. It also shows up in my Cloud but cannot be played on any of my other devices. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Karli26
If you have not done so already, delete the movie from your iTunes library and then try to download it again to see if it plays again. If that does not resolve the issue, then report it to the iTunes Store.

I bought a movie on itunes and it is fully downloaded. I tried playing it and after a few minutes, my computer would freeze. I then shut down my computer and tried to start over. However, all that I am able to play is the movie's extras (deleted scenes, backstage pass, etc). I need to know why this won't play because I paid $15 for the movie. Help

ATV2 does not have permanent storage. The rental is flushed when the device is turned off or other content accessed. You would need to use your computer to rent (and home-share to ATV) if you wish to store for a later time.

I bought a movie on iTunes and when it loads up I can only play the bonus features and not the actual film. The title screen is also glitched and merges with the scene selection. I don't think it downloaded properly. what can I do?

It happens sometimes. Delete the current copies, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
While downloading click the download icon at the top right and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

I bought a movie on iTunes and it plays half the movie and stops. I can not get it to play after it stops. What can I do to get it to play the rest of the movie?

Hi, Jjenjen30.
Thanks for the question and I believe we have a solution. The best option would be to delete the movie that is giving you an issue and redownload it via the iTunes store past purchase option. I have included a couple articles that will show you how to process these steps.

If this does not resolve the issue, then iTunes might need to be notified to let them know there is a problem with the content. I have included the steps on how to let them know.

I just bought a movie from itunes and can I copy it to my DVD to watch on a DVD player or only on an APPLE product?

I bought bought a movie in itunes and want to copy it to a DVD to play on a DVD player. Can I or must it be an APPLE product? If so, am disappointed since I can buy music and I own it and I paid full price to own it.

You own it but you don't own the copyright.
Copying movies in iTunes is not permitted.

HT201441 I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but it on not showing up on mu music playlist. What should I do?

I downloaded an album on itunes and it says that it is purchased, but on my music playlist it does not show up. What shoud I do?

Download it to iTunes on your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone. Make sure the album is selected to sync to your phone before syncing. If that doesn't work, you may have to delete all the music off your phone, then sync it back from iTunes. To delete your music, go to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then click Music, tap Edit, then tap next to All Music.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

HT5085 I bought some movies on iTunes and they are on my computer but I don't know why they are not in the iCloud, can you tell me why?

I bought some movies via itunes how do I take it off my computer and add it to the icloud?

Are you in a country where films can be redownloaded - the page that you posted from should list countries and where the different content types can be redownloaded. But even if you, not all countries have agreed to allow their films be redownloaded, and there is no guarantee that a film (or any other item) will remain in the store, so you shouldn't rely on being able to redownload them. You also can't add films and/or tv programmes to the cloud, whether an item appears there depends upon your country, the film studio, and if it remains in the store.
If you are in a country where films can be redownloaded, and those films are still in your store, then if they don't show in the cloud check to see if they care hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

I bought a movie on itunes and it will not play even after re-downloading it.

I bought a movie on itunes, it would not play. I contacted apple support people, and they told me to delete and re download it, I did that and it still will not play, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if my itunes isn't up to date, or maybe it's because I'm not trying to play it on an apple device. Whatever the case me be, I just really want to watch this movie, or get a refund.

You should be able to play films on windows computers, if it wasn't compatible with it (e.g. you should have got an error if you tried to buy an HD film on non-HD compatible computer).
The current version of iTunes is 11.4 - you can see if there are any updates available via the Help > Check For Updates menu option.
Or you can download the current version of iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
What happens when you try to play the film, and do other videos that you have in your iTunes play ok ?
If you can't get it to play but other videos play ok then contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
