I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does.

I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does. The only way I can view it is if I turn on home sharing and the movie is downloaded to my PC. Is this normal?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Perfectly normal, purchased items only applies to TV shows, the studios have not licensed movies for redownloading.

  • TS1412 i purchased a movie from itunes and it will not download! why?

    i am on vacation and wanted to relax with a nice long movie so i purchased the film scarface for 9.99 on itunes and it will not download and through all of my effort to make it download i have learned about converters and all kinds of mumbo jumbo how do i just watch the movie that i purchased? i do not want to get a refund for the movie....

    this is the iMovie board - about the editing software delivered free with any Mac.
    purchased movies can only be playbacked in iTunes.
    any mumbo jambo probably gets better explained in the 'iTunes for Windows'-section of this board:

  • I purchased a movie on iTunes, and it is not playing

    I recently purchased the 2009 Star Trek movie on my iTunes account in SD. After the download of the movie was completed, I tried to play the movie. When I hit play on the movie, a window popped up saying that I had to sign into my account to authorize my computer to play the movie. When I did log in, I get another pop up window saying that this computer is already authorized to play the movie, yet it still does not play the movie. What's going on and how can I fix it?

  • I just purchased a movie from iTunes and it will not download on either my new macbook and iMac. Keep getting error 8008.

    I have been having this problem with other movies for about a week now. I just tried my new macbook pro to see it it would download on it but I received the same error code 8008 (corrupt).
    I have about 60 movies I would like to download and back-up but it is happening on all of them.

    You probably need to delete your iTunes media downloads folder.  From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297:
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.

    help please!

    Are you going to Movies - Purchased or Computers - Movies ?
    If you go to iTunes Store  on your computer - Quicklinks - Purchased. Is it showing up there?
    Is this a purchase or a rental?

    Hey Christian,
    I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
    All the best,
    David

  • I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1.  It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

    I purchased a movie on iTunes, but it will not play on my Apple TV1.  It says the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content.

    Annoying isn't it.
    This seems to have started at the end of October and may be some kind of 'authorisation expiry' on the original unit that needs updating.
    Solution include:
    Purchase something on the AppleTV1 itself with DRM (a free TV Show episode might be an idea if yiou can find one).
    Remove the connection to itunes by removing the iTunes library from AppleTV's Computers>Settings menu, then add it back again.
    Remember this will wipe synced content from the AppleTV if AppleTV1 is syncing (My Movies/TV Shows etc) as opposed to streaming (My Shared Movies etc) from that itunes library.  In theory direct purchases on AppleTV that have never transferred to itunes might survive the 'wipe for a clean slate for a new sync' process that happens when you remove a sync library but don't risk it and right click on the AppleTV Device in itunes, choose Transfer Purchases if there are any prior to resetting the AppleTV Computers entry and readding the library.  If AppleTV is streaming only it's very quick to remove the libarry and re-add it as there's nothing to sync when you re-establish the connection - it works I've done it.  Purchasing a protected music video on my other AppleTV1 which was synced also worked.
    Good luck

    I have purchased a song from itune but it is not listed under my purchased items, why

    By 'purchased items' do you mean the Purchased link under Quick Links in the store ? If you do then do other songs that you've purchased appear there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ?
