Icloud movie purchase download problem

Trying to download and watch an itunes movie I previously purchased on my iphone but it isn't showing in my itunes. It is only showing as an icloud option on my iphone but I don't have the space anymore to download and watch it there. How can I watch my movie on my laptop? Even better if I can dowload it as I have plenty of room on my laptop for this and rather it not have to stream on internet.

Hi amslyn23,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to download a past purchase on your computer but aren't seeing the option. This might happen if you're using more than one Apple ID or the file is already in your iTunes library. Take a look at the article linked below for more information and the steps for downloading past purchases.
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Cheers!

  • ITunes movie purchase downloading twice

    Hello all;
    I just purchased a movie on iTunes. The first time I clicked BUY, the system told me that it could not read my Apple account and to try a few minutes later. So I tried a little later but I clicked the BUY button again!
    Is this why the movie is downloading twice? One HD version and one standard version?
    Does this mean I will be charged twice? If so, will I get a refund?
    Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

    I do not believe that Real Player Plus can burn any videos purchased from the iTunes Store to video DVD. RP Plus can burn non-protected videos from iTunes, but not the copy-protected files from the iTunes Store. If you have yourself successfully burned videos from the iTunes Store to a vide DVD (one that plays in a standard DVD player) with Real Player Plus, I'm sure many of us would be interested in such confirmation, as it would indicate that Real has hacked Apple's DRM in some way.

    Hi sairaj318
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Nokia Music Unlimited licenses are activated by signing in with a Nokia Account,  and once activated personal to the Nokia Account holder. If the same Nokia Account is used to activate a second or third device, the Nokia Music Unlimited licenses are accumulated on that account and only the most recently activated device can be used to access Nokia Music and download music for free. You will be able to play already downloaded music on previously registered devices.
    Therefore, if the device is bought second hand, and the license is still in use by the first owner the second owner is not entitled to the Nokia Music license.

  • HT1725 Purchase download problem

    I recently purchased an album from itunes store and most of the tracks stop a few seconds after they have started. Any advice?

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Past purchases download problem

    Why can't I download past purchases onto my authorized MAC? what does this mean "You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 23 days."?

    "Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each was associated to your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days are remaining before your associated devices or computers can be associated to a different Apple ID."

  • HT3209 Movie Rental download problem

    I am trying to download a movie rental and I get this pop up that says "The URL "____________" can not be found on the server."  What does this mean?
    Thanks,
    Justin

    I actually figured it out after all!  All I had to do was go back to the movie, select the rental button, iTunes recognized that I had already rented this movie but that it wasn't downloaded completely. It then made the download button visible and "voila" it restarted the download!

  • Movie Virgin - download problems

    Shot a short movie on a Fuji f50 p&s. Able to download to the Fuji Finepix program. I can play it fine in the Fuji program. Cannot open in iMovie, cannot attach to E mail or burn. What I get is the 1st frame - period. The Fuji download has an AVI suffix. Fuji says the movie is a "motion jpg," mpg I'm sure. How can I change this to a workable file? What am I missing?

    I would like to copy my movie to a CD/DVD (it's 180MB). I've burned it as an AVI and as MOV but it will not play on my entertainment DVD player. Do I need to make some different choices in Streamclip?
    You need to use iDVD for burning a DVD that will be playable on a standard DVD Player. You should be able to drag the MPEG Streamclip movie into the background area of one of the Themes in iDVD. But probably the best thing is to first import the MPEG Streamclip movie into iMovie, if you haven't already done so - I actually assumed that you were intending to do this after the conversion by MPEG Streamclip (rather than burning straight from Streamclip).
    In iMovie you can create a Project from the imported Event, then (among other things) add chapter markers that will be used by iDVD for your scene selections (if desired). Export from iMovie by using Share to Media Browser, as it gives better results than Share to iDVD. You will find the exported movie in iDVD's media browser tab. If you need help with any of this please let us know.
    I would like to attach the movie to an Email and send it to some PC friends to watch. I saved the movie as a MOV.mov.zip thinking I was compressing it (woopee, it's only 178.9 MBs). Needless to say, it won't go through Email. Any ideas?
    As you've discovered, large files are created with video, so email is usually not a feasible option for delivery. Alternatives are: MobileMe Gallery (if you have one), YouTube (up to 15 minutes), Vimeo, FaceBook and other similar sites where videos can be shared. Do some Googling - you may find something suitable.

  • Cs6 purchase download problems windows 7

    first of all  i could not download the akamai installers . it kept telling me i needed to retry a different location.
    i eventually downloaded two files with the alternate method, but cannont find installation instructions.
    I decided to install the first one that arrived, the larger file 7Z setup, which took a long time.
    then i tried teh phtosohop cs6 EXE file and i get an error that says all parts should be in the same folder.  download the other parts.  what other parts?
    i did have cs6 beta installed but uninstalled it from the control panel first.
    should i uninstall what i jsut installed , if i can figure out what it actually was.
    i found a shortcut but it opens the beta that i uninstalled. how can that be?
    my programs and features say cs6 is installed

    thanks, for your reply.
    i tried looking in the logs and didnt find anything with that extension except for cs5.  i have an uninstall folder, that has data and other things, none of that extension.
      There is also a folder with a long number ending in ff.  inside is the setup, payloads , resources, plus a couple of dlls.. adobe personalization and asneu.
    I will try to uninstall from the control panel and start over.
    i am confused as to which one to install first. i received two folders, one says adobe cs6.exe and inside the large folder it haas the setup.  i installed the setup.exe.
    this did not download the same as the desktop, nor did it install the same.. i did not have the beta installed on teh desktop.
    PROBLEM SOLVED
    it had to do with the alternativce download.. there were no instructions anywhere than said i had to put both files in teh same folder and install the second file first.. that is just not logical to isntall teh second file first.
    in effect i had only installed half the program. the other half must have picked up old beta leftovers and it opened using the beta splash screen, but operated like the regular program.
    it took a long time with chat at the download order to determine they are only sales people. my issue was well beyiond not being able to download the akamai files...
    i finally was transferred to tech support who solved teh problem.
    if i can start another thread to post the solution i will.

  • Where would any downloaded rental movies be downloaded to on my iPad? Just spent over $40 in data top ups and nearly two days trying to a. Download a purchased movie and b. find the movie on my iPad.

    I bought this iPad (think it is an iPad 2 not actually sure, a about a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to go on iTunes store and purchase a rental movie which cost approx $6 NZD. After about 2 hours I ran out of data and the movie hadn't even downloaded halfway so I purchased more data thinking another Gb would do. Then i got a message from itunes that my ipad didnt have enough storage so i went into settings and dleeted apps and docs (apparently also deleted from icloud too) to make room for the movie. Now after purchasing another 7GB of data at over three times the cost of the rented movie it finally finished downloading and I had enough space on my iPad. But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it? Why have I just wastednearlyb$50 just tying to download and watch one measly movie! It is obviously some secret formula or thing I've missed...it shouldn't be so hard! The day before this I successfully downloaded a song I purchased and can listen to with no probs.  do I need another app to store downloaded movies or something?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • How do I get movies purchased on Apple TV to download to my iTunes library?

    Using iTunes 10.7 on my iMac where my main iTunes library is located.  I have a couple of Apple TVs with the latest updates.  When I purchase a movie on Apple TV, what is the easiest way to get it to download to my iMac?  It seems that it is much easier to purchase movies on my iMac and then they show up in the library for that computer on my Apple TV - but you have to wait for the movie to complete the download before you can watch it - sometimes inconvenient.
    So, following a purchase of a movie on my Apple TV what is the easiest way to download that purchased move to my iTunes library so I can also watch it on the computer or my iOS devices?
    SOLVED:  Looked at post labeled "Movie purchases in iCloud" and received my answer.  Movie now downloading into my iTunes library.

    Thanks - I understand this in principle - but still think it should be up to the user.
    If my Apple TV glitches and I lose a bunch of tv shows, its not the end of the world.
    If I have no room on my computer for a large powerpoint presentation for work because my hard drive is full of Simpson episodes, it is.
    Not giving the user the option not to have gig upon gigs sent to his computer is very.... well, Gatesian.

  • Downloading purchased movie stopped downloading and disappeared, why?

    Downloading purchased movie stopped downloading and disappeared, why?

    Look for a folder called "Downloads" in your iTunes Music folder. If there is such a folder, look for files that would be the partial download and delete those, so that the download starts over from the beginning. Then try again using the "Check for Purchases" command under the iTunes Store menu.
    If that doesn't work and the problem persists, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.
