IPhone/iPod Touch update 3.0 "Cannot transfer Movie purchased on iPod...."

"...because you are not authorized to play this movie on this computer."
Excuse me?
It's the computer I sync my iPod to.
It's the authorized one.
Perhaps I missed a statement somewhere that iPod downloaded movie purchases cannot be transferred onto my sync computer, in which case I feel they've taken that copy-write proprietary dealie a hair too far and it tarnishes a high point in iPod updates for me,(it was one of my "wishes" for iPod that many people said wouldn't ever happen), and I feel less excited to purchase movies on my iPod, if I can't play them on my big screen iMac too.
Or maybe there is something I am doing wrong?
1st gen iPod.
It's iTunes 8.2....
My computer is authorized....
Any ideas?
Is it indeed a copyright dealie?
THANX!!!!

NeeeVer Mind!
It was greyed and I got that message yesterday afternoon.
Today......it's in there in my iTunes library.
And with this sync....it's copying it again to my library, as though it doesn't already know it's there.
Hummm.
Oh well, at least I can keep my happiness about being about to download flix directly via wifi!
YAY!

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.

HT1498 how to transfer movies purchased on apple tv to iTunes

how to transfer movies purchased on apple tv to iTunes......

Depending on your region all you should have to do is go into iTunes and click iTunes Store. You should see "Purchased" on the right under Quick Links. Click Movies, then the cloud symbol under the movie name.

HT203180 Cannot transfer movie to iphone

Highlight the movie from iTunes library, go to menu ADVANCED ans select Create iPhone or iPod version. Sync the newly created version over.

My mac is authorized for my ipod touch but I can't transfer non purchased songs from my ipod to my itunes library.

My old macbook was stolen a month ago and I just got a new one. My new macbook is authorized for my itunes account, but my ipod touch is only able to transfer purchased songs. Whenever I try to transfer data from my ipod, itunes claims my computer isn't authorized and the transfer stops. What can I do to transfer my music?

An iPod Touch is not a backup/storage device. You should have been maintaining a backup of your personal data on an external HDD using Time Machine or other backup software of your choice.
However, there are ways to "recover" the music:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
Once you have recovered the music I strongly suggest you purchase an external HDD and start using Time Machine to keep a backup of your personal data.

TS1702 After reinstalling windows, I cannot transfer app purchases to my iphone.

I had to wipe the hard drive on my computer after it got a virus that I was unable to remove. I backed everything up before wiping the hard drive. After reinstalling windows, I installed itunes and synced my iphone with my computer. Itunes recognizes that I purchased apps previously as they downloaded to my library, and I can make new purchases in the store. However, after purchasing an app, when I try to drag and drop the app to my phone through itunes, a little circle with a slash through it appears and it will not let me download the app to my phone. I can download apps through my phone, but I would like to be able to sync them with my computer as well since I have to put music on my iphone and I generally only purchase through amazon. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I tried rebooting/resetting my iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Restarted iTunes. Still unable to update Apps. Screen is clouded/gray. Cannot even move the Apps on the screen. When I press/hold an App on the iPhone to make them jiggle, I use to get the circle X on the App to delete. That is no longer available.

Woke up to a blue screen computer. Had to wipe everything off. Now cannot transfer my purchases to my iphone without wiping out my library on my phone. is this correct?

Heellloooooooooooooooooo..............................................

Restore that backup you made?
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That might switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I couldn't say for sure.

Cannot view movies purchased via iTunes at iPhone 5

The movies purchased at Apple Store (*.m4v both SD and HD quality) were successfuly transfered to iPhone but I do not see them in Video and (as a result) cannot view them.

When you mention restart is that unplugging the ATV from the AC then plugging it back in?
yes
I have not done this, but I have shut the unit down (light off) then turned it back on (light on). This did not work.
that is just standby mode, not restart.

How do you transfer movies purchased on iTunes to watch through USB on TV.

Hi,
I was wanting to purchase new release movies from iTunes instead of buying them on DVD from retail store. I was wanting to transfer some of them to a USB so my daughters can watch them on their tv as well but for some reason the coding won't allow it. I don't want to do anything illegal just watching the movie I purchased on another tv. I don't have Apple TV and not wanting to purchase one at the moment either.
Thank you for your help

iTunes movies are DRM protected and have to be played back with an Apple device. I presume the same applies to any legal online movie purchase as this is something the media companies likely determine. If they want to play it back on their TV and you do not have streaming capability then you'll have to go with a DVD player.

Itunes v 11.0.2.26 windows - iphone 5 - when updating software asked to transfer purchases - when i go to file - trnasfer purchases is longer an option in this? What am i doing wrong?

When attempting to update to iOS 6.1.3 i get the messge: "there are purchased items on the iPhone "" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should tnasfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you shure you want to continue?"
I cancel. Go to File to look for the Transfer Purchases item like I always used to, and it is not there - not even greyed out. What am i missing?

With the phone connected, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

I have downloaded music from cd's onto my itunes on my computer, however we use the same computer for 2 iphones in our house and i cannot transfer music from the itunes on our computer to the second iphone, but its fine on the first? help?!

I have an iphone 4 and my dad has a iphone 5s, we both use the same computer to sync to itunes and add music etc and therefore share a itunes library and just add our own music to our phones, but recently i havent been able to add music that is already in the itunes library for example from a cd, onto my iphone 4, i used to be able to use the typical 'drag and drop' method but now it jut doesnt work? it still works fine for my dad oh his iphone 5s but not for me? Any ideas on how i can transfer music?

Hello there, eriks12.
The following Knowledge Base article offers practical steps to review for troubleshooting your issue:
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
Particularly:
Resolving issues with Touch ID
Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
If you're using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and verify that:
iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on.
You enrolled one or more fingerprints.
Try enrolling a different finger.
If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
