Movie downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod video

I bought a movie off of itunes and downloaded it to my ipod video. But the movie won't play on my ipod. It plays perfectly fine on my computer. Why isn't playing on my ipod video? Is there something i have to do first before videos are able to play on my ipod?

Is it one film or all of them? I'm having a similar problem where this one film I accidentily deleted that used to play got reloaded and now plays fine on my computer but won't sync onto my iPod. Everything's checked off and ready to go on my computer, but when I sync the film simply isn't there.

  • Songs downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod

    Hi, maybe someone can help me. Recently I noticed that the songs I have downloaded from itunes are not playing on my ipod. They are working fine on my computer. As far as I know all my software is up to date and I even tried backing up my files and restoring my ipod, and the songs from itunes are still not playing. Is there something else I can do?

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

    How can I move music from iTunes to play on other devices? thanks

    If you want to drag and drop, then check manually manage music.
    I much prefer syncing playlists to this option.

  • Movies download from itunes, but when download finishes, there is no movie among my video selections--like it either is hiding or was downloaded somewhere else.

    Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

    As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

  • Issue playing movies downloaded from iTunes on TV when linked to computer via HDMI cable.

    Recently I purchased the advance digital copy of "Star Trek Into Darkness" as it was it was released just in time for  moving some people into another state; we planned to watch it when we rested for the day.  After hooking my windows 7 laptop up to a Samsung flatscreen TV using an HDMI cable, iTunes refused to play the movie.  It would play when the computer was disconnected from the TV, and the same error would appear when reconnected.  The error stated that I had to be connected to an "HDCP compatible device."
    Is this some way of iTunes forbidding me from watching movies downloaded from their service when connected to an exterior device?  My computer has no issues playing other content, such as netflix, when connected to a TV. 
    For me it's pointless to buy movies now from iTunes; I feel like I've wasted $20.  Why on earth would I want to sit in front of a computer to watch it when there's a TV five times the size available? 

    Hello happylilvampyr,
    Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of HDCP support provided by the TV in use. More information regarding HDCP can be found in the following article.
    iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3354
    As an alternative, you can always download the movie in standard definition, which will allow for viewing on non-HDCP devices.
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page. Learn more about downloading previous purchases.

  • Can't see movie downloaded from iTunes on iPads

    Hi. I purchased two movies from iTunes via AppleTV, then downloaded them to my iTunes library. I can see and play them on my computer, but they don't show up in the "shared" tab of the Videos app on either of our two iPads. I've tried force-quitting and restarting the Videos app, turning the iPad on and off, and resetting the iPad; I've quit and restarted iTunes on the computer. Nothing has helped.
    All the other movies in the library appear, including others I've purchased and downloaded from iTunes, but not the ones I downloaded today.
    Running OS X 10.8.1, iTunes 10.6.3, and iOS 5.1.1.
    Help?
    Thans.

    Ah. iPad 2 can't play 1080p content. Got it. Sorry for the noise.

  • HT2729 Why won't certain videos (downloaded from iTunes) sync on my iPod?

    I have a new iPod Classic and it won't sync some of my videos. I've reset it. I've got everything checked. All files and videos play in my library. There all in the same location and files. Its  After syncing I get the "some videos were not synced because the format is not supported". All the vids were downloaded from iTunes Store. WTH? Can anyone think of a solution? What is wrong? 
    Thanks,
    WB

    Hey Willm700,
    Great question. iTunes defaults to downloading HD content when available, whereas your iPod classic is not compatible with HD playback. The solution would be to download the SD version of the content from your purchase history:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
    The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device.
    Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation):
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Rented movie downloaded but will not play

    I have an USA Apple account. I am currently in the Philippines. I rented a movie thru Itunes. It is downloaded but will not play. Is there a fix for this?

  • 10.8.5 ITUNES WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES

    Downloaded the new iTunes last night and it seems to work well with music but it will not play movies I've downloaded from the iTunes store. The sore works, Radio works, I can buy from the store but movies I have from iTunes (Star Trek, The Incredibles, ST: Into Darkeness among others) strat then crash. I get a message about an error with a plug in (FX I think) that has failed or is not found.
    Anybody else seeing this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I think I found my problem. I have SRS iWOw installed and the FX plugin is part of that. If I disable iWow all movies play as they are supposed to.
    Looks like I need to contact SRS for an update/upgrade or dump it and find another sound enhancer app.
    Thanks fo looking.

  • I can not play a movie downloaded from itunes.  it says not authorized

    I have an iBookG4. I purchased a movie from iTunes but my computer says it is not authorized to play it.  I went under iStore an made sure authorization was on.  I still can not play the movie.   I can however play the movie on my iPad.

  • Why is the rented movie from iTunes not playing?

    I have rented a movie from iTunes in my iPad, and it is not playing.  When I press on the movie title from the iPod > purchsed section, it gives me a black/blank screen for a second or two and then takes me back to the main desk-top screen.  Is there another program or step that I am missing? 

    Absolutely correct!  Wasn't even thinking about that.  LOL

  • Apple TV won't play movie downloaded from iTunes

    I have an Apple TV (1st gen) and recently I have downloaded a couple movies and tv show from itunes on my desktop.  I went to play them on my Apple TV and it load the movie and says "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this".  I never had an issue before and it plays music just fine but not Movies and Shows. 
    Also another issue recently my Apple TV is losing connection from iTunes.  I goto my iTunes and it shows the Apple TV but isn't streaming.  Some times if I get iTunes and restart it fixes the issue.  Other times I have to unplug my Apple TV and reboot it.  This usually happens any time I let my Apple TV sit idle for more than a few hours or so. 
    Any Ideas?

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.
