Why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my ipod?

why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my classic ipod. In ipod's summary, I checked "all" under sync for movies. I have the classic 160 gig ipod and have plenty of space. I unchecked "HD" and chose the 720 resolution. What next?

HI moveandshaker,
try to open itunes then drag the movies to your device.

IPod Nano and Vudeo downloaded off of iTunes

I know that the Nano doesn't support video, but would there be any way to at least listen to the Green Day Bullet in a Bible video concert that I downloaded off of iTunes on my Nano? iTunes won't convert the m4v files to some type of audio file that the Nano can play.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that videos downloaded from the iTunes store can even be transferred to the nano with the exception of doing it via disk mode, and then you can't listen to it anyway.

Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

IPad 2 to Apple TV: Cannot Play Movie - The Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies.

I am getting the 'Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies' message.
Here is my setup:
From the iPad 2 I used iTunes to Rent a movie - Safe House in SD.
I then used Airplay Mirroring to send the movie to my Apple TV.
The Apple TV is connected to a Vizio V0370M HDTV.
According to Vizio all of the HDMI ports have HDCP.
When the movie starts I get this error message on the iPad.
I have used this approach in the past with success.
I rented a couple of episodes of HBO's True Blood and they played just fine on the Vizio through Apple TV.
I believe some were in HD and some SD.
Using the iPad with Airplay Mirroring is a very nice way to send content to the HDTV.
I was hoping I'd be able to do this for anything that is on the iPad.
Is there something wrong with my configuration? Or what I'm trying to do?
Thanks for any help or advice!

I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
1) select Videos
2) selected the film you want to watch
3) click the little play button
4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

HT1577 Is there a way I can make my movies download faster in itunes?

Have closed all other applications and genius is off. Everything else downloads really fast but the movies are killing me - up to about 3 hours and counting. Then it's slow to put on my ipod. Have tried HD and SD, no difference whatsoever. Help!
I have previously downloaded a movie and put it on my ipod within about 30 mins but for the past month or two itunes movie downloads are REALLY slow. I've read other forums that say similar but no one has got a solution yet. I thought I'd put it out there again - does anyone know what it is?
I am using a brand new imac with tonnes of memory, broadband internet is obv the likely cause but EVERYTHING else is fast, only itunes movies are slow. Is there a setting that's been changed, perhaps in one of the software updates?
I'm a new mac user so go easy on the tech advise please, I'm still in windows mode...
Cheers

Hi emburg,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the speed of your movie downloads.
It would be helpful to know what your download speed currently is.
The link below will provide a few troubleshooting steps that you can try improve the download speed:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
...You can also try the following steps to troubleshoot the download issue.
Restart your computer or device.
Check for updates for your Mac or PC and install any software updates. Also, check for and install updates for any security software you may have (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, and so on).
If using Wi-Fi for Internet access, try using a different Wi-Fi network when downloading. If you are connecting to a home network, try restarting your Wi-Fi router. Also, check for and install any firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router. (Refer the manufacturer's website for your router to get information on updating its firmware).
If you are on a computer, try using an ethernet cable for wired Internet access instead of using Wi-Fi.
Resuming downloads from a computer
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
Click the "Check Downloads" button.
Click the Resume or Resume All button, or the resume arrow to resume the download.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

ITunes not authorizing on new computer

I just purchased a new computer, authorized iTunes (3rd computer), and transferred all of my music, apps, movies, etc. Now when I tried to sync with any of our devices, it will not sync some purchased songs claiming they "were not copied because they were not authorized for this computer." iTunes tells me the computer is authorized and I've gone through the steps on apple's website to troubleshoot. Still no luck.

Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

PURCHASED iTUNES NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DIGITAL EXPORT

I am trying in vein to burn the songs I have bought in the iTunes store to a CD so I can play them in my car. However they come with a small padlock symbol in the top left corner. If I try to burn them onto a CD, a message comes up saying the song is not authorized for digital export. I have chosen audio CD in iTunes-preferences-advanced-burning, but this has no effect, I have authorized my computer also. Does this mean I have wasted my money buying these tunes and have to sit at my mac to listen to them and nowhere else?? This is making my blood boil!

Dragging it to the desktop is the problem. It sounds like you're not burning the disk from within iTunes. Create a playlist in iTunes and select Burn Playlist to Disc. And make sure the iTunes prefs for Burning are set to Audio CD. I have an iTunes store purchase in my library that is burned to CD and plays in my car. When I just dragged that track to my desktop, I see the little lock you're speaking of. Try burning from iTunes and it should work.

TS1389 Error message: transfer purchases from iphone into itunes not authorized. But the computer IS authorized. Any suggestions? Thanks

Trying to transfer purchases from iphone into itunes I keep getting error that computer is not authorized. But it IS authorized, any suggestions? Thanks,

It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
TCP 123
TCP 3689
UDP 5353
TCP 80
TCP 4343
TCP 53
This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

Movie download issues with iTunes for iPad

I purchased a 3.5 GB movie and have 8 GB of free space. The download starts throug iTunes, makes it about half way through the download and then starts over. It's done this around 5 times now. My OS is up to date. Anyone experienced this problem and have any suggestions? It even boots me out of the movie if I'm watching it while downloading before it starts over.

You may recall that from one of my posts.
Yes -and I do remember it pretty well actually. I was referring to you in my post above - without naming you.
You said in your post that he emailed you from his iPhone and I asked how you knew it was from the phone and you responded that the email contained the "Sent from My iPhone" in the signature.
How's that for remembering! Meanwhile, I can't remember what I had for dinner last night?
And back to the topic, I do have issues myself with Mac to iPad and iPad to Mac compatibility. I would hope that Apple is working on this. Really I don't understand why it hasn't been resolved by now but I continue to wait for the fix as well.
