I'm having trouble downloading a movie on my laptop

I purchased a movie on my ipod touch and later went to download it on my laptop from my purchase history, and itunes told me that I had to repurchase the movie all over again to be able to download it. What is this all about? When ever I download music or a tv episode on my ipod, it downloads perfectly fine onto my laptop afterwards.

Hello Loganchunn,
It sounds like you made a purchase on the iTunes Store but it is not showing on your computer as available for purchase, and instead the iTunes Store shows that it needs to be purchased again. I would verify that the purchase was successful with your purchased history in iTunes with this article:
iTunes Store and Mac App Store: Seeing your purchase history and order numbers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2727
If you see it there, then use this article to download it from iTunes in the Cloud:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12491
If the purchase is there but it is not available with the above article to download, or it is not there but you were charged, I would use the report a problem button underneath the purchase item to get in contact with iTunes support directly, or use this article:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

  • HT1577 I am having trouble downloading rented movies.

    Help $$$ going down the drain.
    I am having trouble downloading rented movies. It tells me it is going to take 150 hours to download a 1gig movie. I am using a macbook pro. My internet is hight speed broadband and is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this problem? this has happened twice now.
    Cheers

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • Having Troubles Downloading a Movie.

    I'm trying to download a movie I already bought and it won't let me. It says to check available downloads and when I do that it says the movie is already downloaded but it isn't in my library. Help!

    This will be dependent on your network.

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way? Perhaps you need the iMovie forum? If you do ask there be sure to include whatever format the Camera is shooting.

  • I am having trouble downloading a movie with my iPod

    I had purched a movie on Feb. 23/14 and I had trouble with the downloading. I had a friend of mine help me with the problem, but now it is taking so many tries to download it.  It re-started at least four times now.  I wish it could just download already.  This movie costed me $19.99 (without taxes) and I would like to have it available so I can watch it.  I am asking for help, please.

  • I am having trouble downloading a purchased movie from ITunes Help

    I am having trouble downloading a purchased movie from I tunes It keeps telling me there is an error and to tap and try again but all fails Help

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

    I have an iPad 2 that has been upgraded to IOS 7.0.4. This was a problem before the update - which is the reason for the update but that's another story.

    I am having trouble downloading attachments. Not all. but some. a movie in particular and some documents.
    I would thingk it was the email account but I can open it on my iPhone without issue.
    I would've thought the link was bad but I forwarded it one of my other email accounts and it opens fine.
    I have restarted, rebooted, deleated the mail account and reloaded it.
    Still nothing. I have tried to save the video by clicking the "Save Video" icon when you tap and hold the video but it never saves.
    Sometimes it will act like it is going to save because I get a black screen and a rotating flower in the middle of the screen and it says "Loading" but it never does anything. Other times it will just give me a message that says "Can't download attachement".
    Any one have any thoughts?
