I cannot transfer a movie purchased from iTunes from my MacBook to my iPad.

Other purchased movies will transfer, but this one won't. This is the error message I get:
"...was not copied because you are not authorized on this computer "
Every device has been authorized as well. I just can't figure out why it won't transfer. Dragging & dropping it doesn't work either.

Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) on my iPad2 in-flight

    I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) with the Video app on my iPad2 while flying. On a hunch, I purchased in-flight wifi and only then could I watch my rentals. What gives? Any suggestions on how to avoid paying for in-flight wifi is appreciated.

    I don't think that he waited a day.  From the wording, I concluded that he waited only minutes (during take-off).
    I recall seeing this issue before.  Apparently there is an issue related to copyright protection with some movies.  I stopped flying when I retired so I didn't pay too much attention to the problem.  Perhaps a search of the forum will shed more light.

  • I would like to transfer the movies purchased in iTunes to my Seagate wireless plus external drive.

    Hello,
    I had purchased movies from Itunes on my iPAD 2 and when I ran out of space I simply deleted them. When I open my itunes on my Macbook Pro, I find these movies under "purchases" with a cloud icon. This means I can re download them. But what I essentially want to do is download these movies or transfer my itunes movies library on my newly acquired Seagate wireless plus, which I understand is compatible with Itunes. What I would like to know is, will I need to redownload the movies on the macbook pro first before transfering my itunes library to the SWP EHD or is there an alternative?

    Is it your intention to move the whole library to the external (easy) or just the movies (not so easy but possible)?
    Alternatively, make two libraries, one for music the other for movies.  I don't really see the need to have them all in one library since I know I rarely want to play a song, have it jump to a movie, then another song without interruption.
    Let us know your druthers.

  • How do I transfer an App store purchase from my MacBook to my iPad-WITHOUT an Internet connection?

    I live on a boat in an anchorage. My iPad won't connect to the wifi in the anchorage; my MacBook Pro, with an external radio, will make the connection (sometimes). I want to purchase a couple of apps from the App Store and download them to my computer.  I won't be able to connect the iPad to the Internet--ever--but I can of course connect it via USB to the MacBook Pro.  Can I
    - purchase the apps from the App store
    - download the apps to my MacBook Pro
    - disconnect the MacBook from the Internet (it costs about $1 per minute for my connection)
    - sync the iPad to the MacBook
    - transfer the newly purchased apps from the computer to the iPad
    Just a reminder--I _can't_ connect the iPad, ever, to the Internet.  The signal just won't reach that far.  I don't want to take either the computer or the iPad on a (wet) dinghy ride to try to get close enough to the wifi hotspot for the iPad to connect (maybe).  Both the iPad and the MacBook Pro are registered to the same ITunes account, but there isn't any way to connect the iPad to iTunes central for their servers to confirm this--only the MacBook Pro can be connected.
    I also don't want to erase any info on the iPad--I have waypoints, navigation info, documents, etc., stored in various apps. Do I have to sync first to avoid losing this data?  (Hope it's not cloudy tomorrow and those solar panels will be pulling some amps!)
    Thanks,
    Sue
    PS--I have OS 10.6.8  and iTunes 11.0.1 on the MacBook; iOS 6.0.1 on the iPad.

    Yes, you should be able to buy/download apps from the iTunes app store on your Mac and then sync them to the iPad - neither the iPad nor the Mac should need to be connected to the internet to sync the apps over to the iPad
    If the iPad hasn't been synced to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • How can i read a book i purchased via iTunes on my MacBook on my iPad?

    I purchased an iBook from my Mac laptop. Mistake because it doesn't appear in the purchased Library on my iPad. Is it in limbo or can I retrieve and redirect it to my iPad?

    You should be able to use iTunes to copy it to your iPad.

    I cannot sync HD films purchased on iTunes (on my PC) to my iPad even though it is a shared account. No problem syncing to iPod Classic from PC.
    Also there is no 'Film/Video' tag on the drop down menu on the iPad only Music and TV Programs.
    Also can't view 'purchased films' on iTunes via iPad.
    All Phtos,Music and Video etc is 'Manualy Sync' selected.
    Is this all related, please help?

    Most of my library consists of h.264 videos wrapped in the m4v format, which my converters (Handbrake & mkvtools) says is the Apple TV format.  Today I tried coverting a few to mp4 (for iPad) instead, so that I can watch them on multiple devices, but I'm running into the same problem with those that you are.
    I tried resetting my ATV as the other responder suggested, but that hasn't helped.  I'm still unable to watch h.264 mp4 files, while h.264 m4v's are fine.

  • ITunes cannot transfer movies bought from the Store onto the iPad.

    I have an iPad Mini and iTunes cannot transfer movies bought from the Store onto the iPad.
    'Manually manage videos' is ticked but then after each sync attempt it goes back to being unticked.
    'Sync only checked songs and videos' is also ticked and remains so.
    When I choose the movies to put on the iPad, it gives me an indication of how much space I have (enough), lets me sync and then goes back to zero.

    thanks jolieteddie, 
    FYI, I searched the side pane here after asking this question.  It seems someone gave an answer that worked for me.  I could not drag and drop a pdf from the desktop into iTunes or the Ipad2 directly for whatever reason.  However in iTunes on the main menu under Files>Add, I could navigate to the desktop and add the pdf that way, then sync Books with the iPad. This worked!
    I've attempted in the past to drag and drop videos, etc into iTunes and the iPad with no success. Somehow it never occurred to me to add them this way. Doh!
    Good tip.

  • How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes  on my TV using HDMI connection?

    I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable?   When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them.  I get the following error:
    "To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
    I used to be able to play them before but not anymore.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's due to the new update.  Is there a fix?
    Thanks,

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.

  • How can I transfer music not purchased on iTunes to my new computer from my iPod?

    I recently got a new computer and wanted the music from my iPod on it. I have a ton of CD's so over half the things I have on my iPod aren't things I purchased from iTunes.
    When I went through the process of transferring (it only gave the option to transfer purchases) there were no songs from any of my CDs.
    I have tried everything I know how and still I have not found anything to actually help. I've backed it up and there is still nothing new in my iTunes.
    Why can I not transfer items not purchased from iTunes to my new computer? How do I do this?
    I would greatly appreciate it if you would put an answer in the simplest form possible as I am not very tech-savvy.
    I would also like to do this simply and without downloading another program if at all possible.
    I have a Windows 7 computer if that is of any help.
    Thank you!

  • Can't download movies purchased from itunes on my ipad

    I have many movies purchased through iTunes store.  In the past I was able to download to my iPad to watch when out of wifi.  Now many titles, I cannot.  Previously, I downloaded Avengers and watched, now it won't. Why?

    I had the same issue and was able to fix it...  I went to settings / videos and turned on "show all videos". I did the same at settings / iTunes and App Store.  Then, when I returned to "videos", all of my purchases were there (took a second).  At that point I did NOT get the "watch" button...I DID get the "cloud" icon And was able to download.....
