Movie purchased on iPad doesn't show up in iTunes

Hello,
I purchased a movie from the iTunes Store using my iPad2. I'm trying to find it in my iTunes on my PC, but it's not there. I recently changed operating systems from Windows Vista to Windows 7, and I'm still muddling thru synching up my music and playlists (any help on that would be appreciated, too!).
My iPhone 4 can see the movie, but there isn't enough room on the phone to sync the movie to it.
I'd like to have the purchased movie on all three devices. My iPhone and iPad2 seem to know I purchased the movie, but my iTunes doesn't. How can I make iTunes see the movie?
Thanks!

Movies purchased on iPad do not show up in iTunes

I purchased some movies and TV shows on my iPad 2 while I was out of town, and they downloaded fine. However, I get home and they won't show up in my iTunes library (running Mountain Lion, everything up to date). They show up in my purchase history in the account, but don't show up in the list of actual purchased items or available downloads (like songs do after they're purchased). Any advice?

Films and TV shows can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries. If you still have them on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over from it by connecting it to your Mac's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Movie purchased on iPad doesn't appear on Apple TV

Last week, my son purchased the SD version of Terminator 2 on his iPad and, after syncing to our iMac, we have been able to watch the movie on the computer, my iPhone and an iPod touch. However, the movie doesn't appear in the movies that are listed under the "computers" tab of the home screen of my 2d gen Apple tv.
Of course, I have home sharing set to all of my Apple devices, so that isn't the problem. Additionally, I have the latest version of iTunes, OS X and iOS on the devices. Interestingly, all of the other movies that I have in my movies library in iTunes on my iMac show up on the Apple tv menu - EXCEPT T2!
For what it's worth, I noticed that Terminator 2 is not available to rent on my Apple tv; I don't know if that's merely a coincidence, or an actual explanation for my problem.
Can anyone offer me any insight as to why the T2 movie that was purchased from iTunes on an iPad doesn't even appear on my Apple tv? Is there some kind of default setting that only allows the Apple tv to stream movies that were purchased from the home sharing computer from which it is streaming content, in my case, the iMac?
Thx for any help!

The content purchased on iPad is not showing on Mac iTunes

I bought one season of a tv show on my ipad last night, and I went to watch it on my Mac and it is not showing in my iTunes account.

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

My ipad doesn't show on my itunes account why? How do I sync them if it doesn't show?

I have just bought a new ipad2. Open an account with itunes but when I plug my ipad into pc and go into itunes it doesn't acknowledge a ipad is connected so unable to sync? What am I doing wrong??

Look at the appropriate support document:

My iPad 2 doesn't show up in iTunes.

I want my iPad 2 to sync with iTunes over my Wi-Fi connection, but my iPad doesn't show up in iTunes. I tried the Apple troubleshooter page, but when I try to install the Mobile Device Support driver, my Windows says the driver isn't made for my device. What should I do?
Edit: My iPad does show up in Windows Explorer as a camera.

Got it figured out already. I connected my iPad to the front side of my computer. When I connected it to the back it worked like a charm!

you said you uninstalled iTunes. Did you follow this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
because iTunes also installs other components and when removing and re-installing, you have to remove the components in the exact order otherwise it usually doesn't resolve the issue, and sometimes make it worst!
also make sure: you're using the correct ipad usb cable and plugging it on the back of the computer (not the front usb)
next step if it doesn't work would be to try to create another windows user (administrator) and try the ipad on that one, sometimes it works like that.
Good luck

HT1222 My iPad doesn't show a software update

Under General tab my iPad doesn't show software update to get the iOs 6.1.3. How do I get this.

That option only appears with iOS 5 or later. Clearly you have an earlier version to upgrade:
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

HT201272 Can't get movie rental from iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S?

How do you get a movie rental on iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S so we can watch??

You can't, rentals are one-time only downloads, and from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch and when i connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I connect this older iPod to my iTunes?

Hi ChristianHelpplz,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
Check your USB connections
Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
Try a different USB port.
Try a different USB cable.
Restart your device
Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
Restart your Mac
Turn your Mac off and back on.
Update your software
Check for software updates on your Mac.
Check for an iTunes update.
Check your security software
If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
From:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPhone 3GS doesn't show up in iTunes

(Sorry for the length of this, but I want to make sure that I don't leave out anything that I've done.)
It all started last week when I installed Starcraft 2 on my Mac mini (the new one that came out in June 2010). Starcraft 2 crashed frequently due to the nVidia driver issues in 10.6.4, so the next day I re-installed OS X from the DVD that came with my computer to rollback to 10.6.3. Starcraft 2 worked better, but that's beside the point.
Later that day I noticed that iTunes didn't show my iPhone 3GS when it was connected (I have had zero problems with this since I got my Mac mini last month). (I'm using iTunes 9.2.1, by the way). I searched a bit, and found the instructions to Uninstall and reinstall iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224). I followed the instructions, and everything worked quite well.
At this point, I thought the problem was either due to my re-install of OS X or Starcraft 2 (I'm using a USB headset, which could somehow be related).
I was having other issues with Starcraft 2 at this point, so I decided to install Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. I did this, installed Starcraft 2, and played away.
When I rebooted into OS X, again I noticed that my iPhone wasn't showing up in iTunes. I started to follow the uninstall steps again, and this time I noticed that iTunesHelper wasn't running. It wasn't running because it wasn't in the list of login items to run when my account logs in. Since I was part way through uninstalling anyway, I continued with the process and then reinstalled iTunes. Once again, iTunes saw my iPhone fine. This time I also manually added iTunesHelper to my login items (I had to right click iTunes.app, Show Package Contents, navigate to iTunesHelper.app, and drag it into the list of Login items; I did check the Hide checkbox, since I recalled it being checked during the first uninstall).
It was a few days before I checked iTunes again (I rebooted a few times in here to play Starcraft 2 in Windows; note that I haven't ran Starcraft 2 in OS X since I installed Windows XP previously). However, once again my iPhone wasn't in iTunes.
Since I want to sync my iPhone today, I once again follow the uninstall iTunes process. This time, after installing it and verifying that my iPhone shows up in iTunes (again, I had to manually add iTunesHelper to my login items), I immediately rebooted and connected my iPhone. It didn't show up in iTunes (which I kind of expected at this point). I verified that iTunesHelper was indeed running.
I also tried connecting my wife's iPod touch (first generation), but it doesn't show up in iTunes either (not that I expected it to).
I've tried changing the USB port the dock connector is connected to, but that doesn't seem to matter. I did not change the port during the last reboot attempt, so I do not think that the port itself is bad. I have it connected to one of the ports on the back of the Mac mini, not to one of the ports on my keyboard. Also, my iPhone does charge when connected to this port even if iTunes doesn't recognize it.
At this point it sounds like the iTunes 9.2.1 installer doesn't do something that is required for the iPhone to be recognized by iTunes after a reboot, even though it sets things up properly right after installation. Based on the uninstall instructions, I compared the iTunes related files on my Mac with my wife's (a MacBook from early 2008, if that matters), and everything seems to be in place.
I've seen quite a few other posts here regarding issues with iPhones (and iPod touches) not showing up in iTunes, so apparently this is a common issue, but none of them seemed to help my problem.
Do you have any ideas of anything else I can try?
Thank you very much!

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.
