ITunes Store downloading a movie issues

I bought a movie from iTunes Store and started downloading the whole size into the iPhone and then processing went away and the downloading started again. Fifth time, nothing. I found that the before processing step minutes left are inaccurate and mess up everything. I want to watch Scarface, so I need help to solve that issue with redownloading every time it reaches processing step.
Thanks,
iDistrict

It's not up to Apple. Apple can't provide what the movie studio won't license. Many movie studios are unwilling to license movies for download sale, and some may be willing but unable to offer a given movie due to contractual issues with the actors, director, etc.
If you want to urge someone to offer the Transformers movies, contact the movie studio who owns those movies. It's their decision, not Apple's.
Regards.

Purchased videos from itunes store download/upload issues

I purchased movie from itunes store downloaded it onto my itouch works plays is fine --but when I tried to sync or drag the movie onto my windows computer into itunes or sync it with itunes cannot get the + sign only no go. Getting frustrated--I bought this movie actually for my wife and then cannot get it onto her itouch since it will not transfer into itunes for me to get it moved/transferred onto her itouch. Both itouch's are authorized on this computer. I am confused--why buy the video if you cannot work with it on your devices? Please help!

Did you check your trash can? Did you make a backup copy of your videos that you purchased? That is something that is always reminded to users that purchase from the itunes store...to make a backup copy to their purchased music. The idea is once you buy the music and you lose it well then its gone forever. I highly doubt you can get what you purchased from the itunes music store back again without purchasing them again. But that is weird that you had the videos and and their gone now. Have you tried searching for them on your computer harddrive? Did you do a recent hard reset to your ipod? Are you manually updating your ipod and deciding what to sync and not?

Please help me to clear my iTunes Store download queue.

Finally, I got it.
After spending most of Friday night on the issue, I found the following at ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
Obviously, some srewed up downloads have been sitting in the download folder and causing a) crashes at start-up (since itunes will try immediately to continue the download after start up) and b) avoiding anything else to be downloaded (seems to be a kind of "first come- first to be downloaded"-arrangement).
I found several "downloads"-folders using Spotlight. Most likely, because I moved the iTunes library to access it from my account as well as from the account of my wife (at the same computer). I deleted all those downloads-folders and ... voila .. suddenly the downloads continued. Funny, that there have been more conflicts in the queue of app 20 files to be downloaded. Means, I could download 5 and the problem came back. I repeated the procedure and could continue with the remaining 15 files.
After all, iTunes' download behaviour is back to normal. Songs, movies, apps, podcasts can be downloaded without any issue.

ITune Store download stopped (err=8003, -3259, etc.)

Since upgrading to vers. 7 I have troubles downloading TV Shows (f.e. Prison Break Season1) for which I payed for.
The downloads are starting but stopped suddenly with above mentioned error messages. Very annoying also as some of the downloads pursue to about 95%, stop and are restarting from 0% again!
Are there any known problems with the server or can someone please explain possible troubleshooting?
Thanks, Axel
PS: I might add that the Software Upgrade from QuickTime Pro 7.0.2 to 7.1.3 - for which I bought the upgrade - is also not working (although I doubt that has anything to do with the iTune Store Server)

On 25th I got the following mail from iTMS:
1) Before proceeding, make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your Library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
2) Open iTunes.
3) From the Store menu, choose "Advanced" and then "Deauthorize Audible Account" and then re-authorize it from the same drop-down menu.
4) Enter your account name and password and click OK.
To start downloading your recent purchases, please follow these steps these steps:
Enter your account name and password when prompted, then click the Check button. Your purchase should begin downloading.
This article provides more information about resuming interrupted downloads:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93015
Once your purchases have downloaded, they will appear in your Purchased playlist as well as your iTunes library. However, you will need to authorize your computer again (1) to play your purchases. To authorize your computer, choose "Authorize Computer..." from the Store menu
- I do not have an account with Audible
- This did not solve the error messages and download problems I have.
- (1) Why would one have to authorize the computer again as it has not been deauthorized?
Does anyone at ITMS knows what is going wrong?

Sound quality from iTunes Store downloads

Hi Mac Mavens,
I'm a pretty discerning listener and I'm wondering about the quality of the sound from iTunes Store downloads vis-a-vis a CD. If you play them side by side through a very good sound system would you be able to hear the difference? Any audiophiles out there who have made the comparison? What's your verdict?
Thanks one and all,
CZ1957

I, for one, can hear the difference between 256 Kbit AAC and uncompressed AIFF over my Imac's tiny speakers. Over a good sound system, the difference is not subtle.
Compressed audio is inferior to the original, and there's very little argument about that. It's my understanding that most people can hear the difference between lossy compression and uncompressed audio.
Upon hearing it, however, some people can live with the difference, while others can't.
There are two very good reasons why you might wish obtain your audio on physical CD's: 1) if you care about the artistic intent of the musician and you want to hear everything they created, that's only available on CD, and 2) you might not wish to be overcharged for an inferior product. The "iTunes Plus" compression throws away about 80% of the information in the original audio, yet the cost is about the same as a physical CD. Why anyone pays $10 for one fifth of the data on a CD, when all the data is available for about the same price, is beyond me.

HT1657 I rented a movie from the iTunes Store, downloading to my iPhone 5, but after it downloaded, it's completely disappeared from my iPhone. I've been charged for the rental and when I go to rent it again, it says that I've already rented it

Hi - I rented a movie from iTunes and was charged for the rental. It downloaded to my iPhone 5 over wi-fi as usual, but on completion of the download, it then didn't appear in my movies app on the iphone. I can't find it either on iTunes in my account on my computer. But iTunes seems to think that I've already downloaded it, but I can't find it anywhere or watch it. Help! I've downloaded and watch plenty of movies before - this is a first. I've tried re-renting it, but it tells me that I've already rented it and if I download it again, I'll be charged a second time.
Help - anyone out there had the same problem or better still, have a solution????

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

How do I delete Movies and TV Shows in my iTunes Store download Queue?

Please help...
I have Apple TV and I purchase TV shows and Movies via iTunes Store. These programs and movies have successfully downloaded to my Apple TV and I have watched them and deleted them off the Apple TV Hard Drive.
My problem:
I do not have much free Hard Drive space on the older laptop that I currently have iTunes running on. Everytime I open iTunes on my laptop it starts downloading the very large movie and TV show files and I do not have enough hard drive space for them and I do not want them now that I have alredy watched them.
My questions:
1. Can you delete everything that is currently in my iTunes Store downlonad queue so these programs and movies will not try and download? If so, how?...
2. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening in the future?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

iTunes will not show me where the files reside (by right-clicking and selecting "show file" because the option doesn't exist for TV shows.
I don't understand, it does exist for tv shows.
Also, using the "delete" commend does nothing!
How are you using the delete command if you can't locate the file.
I have several shows taking up several gigabytes of disk space, and I can't locate them on my hard drive, or remove them from within iTunes!
Have you tried spotlight.

ITunes Store Downloading Issues

Ok, i downloaded a song like 3 days ago directly to my touch. It saved the song, i listened to it alot. So i wake p and go to listen to it and my purchesed playlist is gone, the song is missing, but in itunes it sees the purchesed playlist but there are no songs in it.
I also checked albums, artist, and songs for the album, artis, and song but can not find it.
Did the song expire or did my itouch delete my song?
Also is there a way that the itouch, when downloading allows you to download it to your pc also? So i can have a back up.
Thanks for you help!

You'll have to contact the iTunes Store support team. They run entirely off the web, so visit:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/
and select the problem from the options.
Good luck.

I keep getting error message (-50) on iTunes while downloading a movie

Hey guys, while I was trying to redeem three of my digital copies from the Lord of the Rings movies, on iTunes I was able to download two of the movies but one of the movie keeps getting an error message stating "There was a problem downloading. _Movie Title_ There was an unknow error (-50)." Is there a solution this is? or a helpful apple article I can use?

Try deleting the partial cached downloads in the iTunes media folder.
That error is outlined here -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
"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:

Appletv cant login to itunes store to rent movie

i can browse trailers, listen to internet radio, and anything else requiring a connection but when i try to rent a move, the progress spiral comes up and simply keeps spiraling with no connect to itunes store. all network connections and settings seem fine and ive used the correct appleId and password.
anyone have thoughts on this?

I just spoke with Cogeco as I am really p**d at the moment. I was able to rent a movie yesterday (that took three attempts) and it downloaded without any issues, but when I went to watch it today all I saw was "authorizing..." for some 10 minutes. I have now reset my AppleTV and cannot get the unit to authorize on the itunes store.
Then my call to Cogeco who after 20 minutes of trying to say it must be my fault or Apples as they do not block anything I stated that I will move my service to another provider and sue they for compensation for the movies I rented they escalated me to a supervisor who said they do not support AppleTV units so it is my problem. I informed him that I will move my service as it is my ISP causing the issue and not Apple he then backed down and suggested sending a ticket in to investigate. He (Richard) said he will contact me this week to let me know if they find anything.
My gut tells me they have broken Apple's DRM authorization with a man-in-the-middle deep packet filter application so I suggested they look at their deep packet inspection tools as something is screwed for people like me trying to use AppleTV systems. Of course they do not have anything like that...
I will let you know what happens but I am going to look at Bell's new fibre option just in case.

ITunes store download fail

I recently bought a few albums from the iTunes store but randomly 3 of the songs did not properly download and they can't be put onto my iPod as it says they cannot be converted. Playing them on the laptop, they stop halfway through. I don't know how to report this and get a solution or a refund, can anyone help?

This turned out to be an issue with Cablevision, my ISP.

Stopping and restarting an iTunes store download

While on a business trip, my very expensive Garmin GPS bricked on me. So, I'll have to send it back, and in the meantime, I thought it was a perfect time to get the Navigon app for my iPhone 4. Of course, it's a 1.5GB download, and I'm doing this in a hotel room with a moderate speed of around 1.5Mbps, which a few years ago would have been fast, but today is slow. Well, the download was going to take a few hours (8 to be precise). Halfway through the download, I had to close up my MBP and go to a meeting. Also the office probably had faster speeds, so I thought I could finish it there. Of course, no, you have to start the download from the beginning. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just one of the odd quirks for iTunes store that you have to tolerate?
The end of the story was I sat in my hotel room all day and let it run all night, and got it downloaded. Of course, a week later Navigon pushes out a new update (grrrrrrr) while I was still on the road. By that time I was in a hotel with a much better speed (though not fast), and got it done overnight.
The good news is that I don't need my Garmin any more. My iPhone does it better. Sold the Garmin.

I have this same problem. It all started over 4 months ago when I downloaded "Starship Troopers- Marauders" as part of a purchase of several items. All other items in that purchase (music and movies) downloaded fine. But I got error 8008 for Marauders. I went back and forth with iTunes for the next few months. They never figured out what the problem was or explained what caused it. It was resolved by a refund of the purchase. I recently tried again and got the same result. But now I have been getting more errors and have 3 more items which failed to download with error 100000. What is going on with iTunes??? All of my software is up to date and I have business class cable internet. I have a top line MacBook Pro with Leopard. I have been through the full progression of flowchart solutions from Apple Support. How can I fix or prevent this problem and what is causing it?

ITunes Store download problems

Hi, for the last few months if I purchase something on the iTunes store (Apps, Music, TV Shows, Movies) regardless of what it is the purchase is made and it downloads fine. However, if I close iTunes before the download is completed, whatever was in the download queue disappears. If I click on "Store" in the menu bar and select "Check for Available Downloads" I see the "Checking For Downloads message, followed by a pop-up the reads "Unable to check for available downloads, The iTunes Store in temporarily unavailable, Please try again later". When I select the "Downloads" section in the Sidebar, it tells me (at the bottom middle of the screen) that i have "388 iTunes Downloads Available", but when I click on the download button I get the same message about the iTunes Store being unavailable. When I go to the actual Store and select "Account" from the Quicklinks menu on the right it shows that I have 400 Downloads Available, however when I click on the "Download Now" button I see the Checking for Downloads message at the top of the screen and then nothing happens, I don't even get a pop-up saying that iTunes is unavailable.
Is there a way i can fix this? or should I contact Apple...
I've read a few similar posts about this and tried a few suggestions but nothing seems to help.
This is getting incredibly annoying now as I've spent well over $200 over the last 6 months, I even receive E-mails for my Season Passes letting me know a new episode is available for download, but guess what....I can't download them! (sorta rubbing salt in the wound hey?)
I have a HP Laptop running Win7 64-bit, on this I've updated iTunes and am running 10.5.0.90
I've run the Diagnostics test and passed with no errors. I have my firewall turned off, I am using SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, and have also disabled "Check for server Certificate revocation"
I also own a 20-inch iMac Alum (Mid-2007) running OS X Lion 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.5b112 (112) 64-bit and am having the exact problems on my mac as well. Although iTunes on my mac will download Apps I've purchased on my iPhone 4 Automatically, where-as this doesn't happen on my PC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

c'mon guys! someones gotta have something to say?
