IPhone movie purchases through different computers

Hi,
I have my home computer (windows xp) set as my default iPhone library, however, I have purchased a movie through my work computer (windows xp). How do I sync my movie to my iphone without delete all my home based music etc. Both computers are authorised. I don't want to use my work computer as my default library, but I prefer to download big items from work as it saves my home bandwidth limit.
Thanks

Since both computers are authorized, drag the movies from your work computer's iTunes library to the disk icon of an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive connected to the computer. Connect the hard drive to your home computer, and drag the movies from the external HD to your home computer's iTunes library.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Is there anyway that you know of to utilize iTunes purchased content that has been downloaded to a device on a TV without internet? This really limits when it can be used on vacation or when internet is down etc.

    thanks for any help!
    This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.

    Hello Boris73
    Try deleting the tracks from your iTunes library and then downloading them again to test the playback. If it continues, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • Difficulty seeing movie purchases on all computers.

    I am able to see iTunes movie purchases ( made through apple TV) on all my devices, and on one of my login accounts on iMac.  But they are not showing up on my other login account on iMac or on my Macbook.  The one difference that I can see between the two iMac accounts, is that on the one where the movies are showing up, there is a cloud next to 'Movies' in the sidebar.   I don't see that cloud on the iMac acount which does not show the movies.

  • IPhone administration with 2 different computers

    I have 2 machines one laptop at home and an iMac at work. Both are my machines that I have paid for. My home computer has all my music on and I have paid for all of that myself (no illegal music). I could be wrong here but it appears that my iPhone is locked once synced with the home machine. So when I get to work if I decide I want purchase some music/video, play some music through iTunes to the Airport or do any administration to the iPhone in anyway the only way to do this is to sync it to my work machine. Thus losing all my files.
    Can anyone tell me otherwise? If there isn't a way of doing this, then can anyone explain the logic as my old Touch was able to play any track from my library through the iTunes interface to my Aiport speaker set up.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you have to change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • HT1551 why  does my Apple TV say that some movies purchased through iTunes are not authorized to play on the Apple TV (1st gen)

    Why will my Apple TV (1st gen) not allow me to play some movies even though they were purchased in the iTunes store?  I have sync'd the movies to my Apple TV and there is plenty of room on the drive.  I get the error message that says this movie is not authoriezed for play on the Apple TV.  Thanks.  Ron

    Have you purchased anything on the Apple TV recently, next time you make a purchase, try making it on the Apple TV.

  • Using iphone w/itunes on different computers

    I am going on vacation and want to take my new macbook. I hope to be able to transfer music from the new macbook to my iphone (which is already linked to my imac) but so far no luck. Does anyone know a way to do this? Thanks!

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone via the iTunes sync process from a single computer only.
    When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased first.
    If you want to sync iTunes content with your new MB without losing the iTunes content on your iPhone that was transferred from your iMac, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your iMac to your MB, and the same for photos if you want to transfer photos from your MB to your iPhone.

  • Can't finish Downloading rented movie purchased through iTunes on my iPad

    I rented two movies through iTunes that quit downloading part way through on march 1 and 2. If I go back to the rental area it says to watch and I hit it, it takes me to the video and says video is not downloaded go to your downloads and I have none showing!! How do I download now?  I also cannot find them on my iCloud :(((

    Yes, indeed there is.
    Ensure that airplay is not disabled on your Apple TV and that both devices are on the same network. Then when playing the movie on your iPad, select the airplay icon in the control bar, tap it, select the Apple TV from the contextual menu that appears. The movie should now stream to your Apple TV.

  • Will an unlocked Iphone (originally purchased from AND unlocked by ATT) be able to be used in S. Korea?

    Greetings,
    I will be traveling to S. Korea in about 4 months (for about a year), and I currently have an iphone 4s purchased through ATT. I am still under contract. Since ATT is now unlocking their iphones for particular customers, I contacted them and asked if they would unlock my Iphone 4s, and they did. I received the email about a week ago on "How to Complete Your Authorized iphone Unlock". So, over one hurdle. So now that I am able to unlock the phone, will I be able to take it to S. Korea, insert a SIM card from a carrier there, and be on my way? There shouldnt be any problems right, or am I missing a step? I havent bothered to unlock the phone yet since I do not have a SIM card to check if it worked or not (or does that matter if I do it now or not??), but it shouldnt be an issue when I go overseas right?
    I took a look through all of the questions regarding S. Korea but they were all before ATT made the decision to unlock their phones; so its not a legal issue or anything of the sort. I just didnt want to repeat an already asked question...
    Thanks!
    asv

    I know you've marked this as solved, but unless Korean law has changed, you will not be able to use your phone in South Korea. All phones in South Korea by law, have their IMEI numbers registered to the Korean network, so a foreign phone whether it's an iphone or unlocked phone of any kind, will not work in Korea because the Korean network will recognize that it's a foreign IMEI and won't let you connect. You need to check if this is still true, or that Korean law has changed.
