I cannot access any of my old purchases. Movies, mainly. It has nothing to do with authorized accounts, I've checked for available downloads a thousands times over. They simply do not exist any longer.

Well, this has been going on for a long time and I've had my absolute fill of it tonight.
I have purchased a large collection of movies from iTunes that for mainly the reason that I have a new computer, my old films no longer exist as downloaded iTunes videos. That being said, I know I should be able to download purchased films as long as they're still on the iTunes store. I cannot download any of them. Tonight I decided to buy a collection that should have allowed me to download all three films (which I had previously owned, but got sick of trying to find a solution to why I cannot redownload them). So tonight, I purchase this collection of three films, downloads the frst one. Theres absolutely no sign of the second or third film and when I select Check for available purchases it says all available purchases have been downloaded.
If this was true, 25+ movies would be available to download, least to say the two missing from tonights purchase (which I have purchased in the past as well).
My account is authorized, everything is alright with my account and I have tried multiple suggestions and am completely lost. Apple support is giving me the run-around.
What do I do?

Nevermind. I finally found a third party answer and will post it for anyone else with my problem.

  • Cannot access "check for available downloads"

    So, I can download and play any of the free singles.. and I can purchase singles and download them... but I have 58 items including 36 songs from 2 compilations that I have purchased but that will not download as a group.
    Every time I click on "Check for Available Downloads" like iTunes keeps telling me, it says "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."...
    Now, is there something wrong with the Check for Available Downloads option? Why would I be able to get individual songs but not able to get groups of songs or any songs that I had paid for previously and was unable to download at that time?
    I have done the firewall disable, i have modified my hosts file, I have upgrades itunes, I have run the diagnostics and everythign works (as evidenced by my ability to get singles with out an issue)...
    Anyone else having problems with whole albums and compilations and songs that are currently paid for but not downloaded?
    Thanx.
    Josh

    I am currently having the same issue with some movies - very annoying. I also tried having Apple reset my cue - didn't work Please let me know if you get anything to work

  • Hi - when I check for available downloads I get the message "unable to  check for downloads the network connection was lost" this isn't a network problem as I can download directly (just cannot check for downloads) on any of my Mac's PLEASE HELP!!

    Hi - I have had this problem since the last update to OSX 10.9

  • HT203128 "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was lost." I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?

    I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    I may have stumbled upon something that could help. A type of "detour" around the problem.
    I just started experiencing this problem a few days ago. Anytime I'd try to download a song/video/movie, I would get the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was reset".
    So, instead of selecting "Check for Available Downloads" under "Advanced" menu...
    I logged into "My Account" page in itunes. If there are available downloads it comes up at the top of the page with the option button "Download Now". When I select that -- it downloads immediately.
    Can't promise it will work every time. But it's worked for me so far. Good luck...

  • 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!

  • Cannot check for available downloads nor download media from iTunes store.

    Here's what I can do: 1) I can access the internet. 2) I can access and purchase media from the iTunes store. 3) I can stream radio through iTunes. 4) I can download podcasts.
    Here's what I can't do: 1) I cannot check for available downloads. 2) I cannot download purchased media. I receive the following message in a pop up window. "Unable to Check for Available Downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    I have tried all of the following troubleshooting guides recommended by iTunes support without success:

    I have also removed my router out of the equation and connected directly to my cable modem so port forwarding is not an issue either. The only idea I have left is to call my ISP. Seems like a long shot. I know it is going to be something obvious.

    I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum. If you are an administrator and want to move it, please feel free. Sorry.

  • Can't download purchased content. "Unable to check for available downloads"

    I can no longer download purchased content. Each time I check for available downloads I get an error message that says "Unable to check for available downloads. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
    The screen says I have 17 itunes downloads available but cannot download them. The most recent purchase I am not able to download is Season 3 of Dexter in standard def and some other season passes. This is really annoying; I already paid for the content and am not able to watch it...

    After sending two e-mails and recording a screen-cast video solved the problem.

    puchased music in itunes. but no file can be found. Have checked for available downloads but nothing available. Went to purchase again thinking i would not be charged again, but it warns me that i will actually be buying again and may have duplicates in library after purchase. Normaly after i purchase from itunes, it is a free download any time after, and on my other devices.
    Why can't itunes locate these files?

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of the important files and data on your computer.
    Use that backup to put everything back.

  • Unable to check for available downloads - Can't download my purchases

    I've already 50 files in queue. Some of those files are 8 months old. And recently I purchased a song (the free ones).
    And it said 'Checking for downloads' and then it started giving me this error "Unable to check for available downloads."
    I tried to 'Report a problem.' But I can't report to apple either. Whenever I try to do so, I'm taken to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/#itunescards_andcodes rather than this address http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/songcode/
    And the new page has no form to fill up! I just can't do anything. Please help me!
    PS - I recently updated from iTunes 10 to 10.1.

  • I bought and was charged for some music.  It is not in check for available downloads or my purchased file.  However it shows up in recent purchases.  I just recovered from a problem and had to uninstall and reinstall.  Where could this purchase be?

  • Cannot download movies using "Check for Available Downloads"

    I was downloading a few movies to watch when iTunes crashed. After starting it back up again, I tried to use the Store->Check for Available Downloads option. I keep getting the error message "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection has timed out." I've tried signing out and signing back in, downloading from 2 different computers, using wired and wireless connections, and downloading from my account page. None of these has helped, and after contacting the iTunes help staff I received an email asking me for more info. I gave them the info and sent the email on Saturday and haven't received a response. Does anyone have a solution?

    They fixed it! I just got an email saying that a digital booklet I was trying to download had started the problem and was stopping many further downloads. They removed the booklet and I'm downloading fine now. They will reinstate the booklet into my download queue once all the other media finishes downloading. Use this link to report your problem. Hope you have success!

  • I downloaded a song yesterday and when i go to play it i only get the first four or five seconds, then it quits. When I check for available downloads, Apple says all songs have been downloaded to this computer.This last purchase didn't download.

    I downloaded a song yesterday, April 6th. It didn't download successfully, but Apple or i-tunes said it has been downloadd to my computer. Well it hasn't. I only get the first 4 or 5 seconds when i try to play it.  i don't want to pay for it again.  What should I do?

  • 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,
