Movies bought in Windows iTunes

Hi, I have a PC with iTunes 7.0.1. I would like to buy those Movies from iTunes rather than buying DVDs. I would like to buy these pre orderd movies at a discount. Is it possible to buy them now on the PC and then later transfer them over to my new iMac without having to repay for the movies? If I can do this then I'll be getting rid of my PC and just have a Mac. Oh what about my music can I transfer them too?

Yes, just copy the purchased items over and play them to authorize the computer.
Make sure to deauthorize in iTunes your old computer BEFORE you get rid of it.

Burning movies bought in the iTunes store?

Is it possible to burn movies bought in the iTunes store onto DVD so i can play them through a normal DVD player? It's kind of difficult for me and my family (four of us) to all gather around my 13.3" screen to watch a movie that i bought. Any help is appreciated.

Officially no, they will allow you to back-up the movie as a "data file" on a DVD (for back-up purposes), but not burn it onto a DVD to watch in a DVD player. You would need to either connect your computer to your TV, or there are accessories available to connect your ipod, for video playback.
There are some hacks/workarounds out there (try googling this topic), but nothing official.

Why is it that it takes ages to watch a movie bought on the Itunes store, compared to Netflix which is instant? I don't understand this?

Why is it that it takes ages to watch a movie bought on the Itunes store, compared to Netflix which is instant? I don't understand this? I can watch a two and a half hour movie on netflix and it'll take maybe a minute to buffer but when I want to watch something I bought on itunes it always takes like six hours to watch a movie about an hour and a half?

I am currently having the same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
Thanks.

How do I transfer a Movie from my windows itune account to my Mac itunes account?

How would I transfer a movie, which was downloaded to my itunes account on my Windows computer, to my Mac I tunes account that has all my other movies on it?

Right-click them in iTunes, locate the files, move them as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store rentals can only be moved through an iPod or similar device.

Apple TV loses movies after syncing from iTunes

I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this: I bought ATV a few weeks ago and have a movie on iTunes on my iMac that I want to sync to ATV. I click on the sync button, and the sync process starts.....and the sync process finishes.....perfect, you'd think. It appears on ATV under "My Movies" with not problems. And then I shut down iTunes on my computer, at which point the movie disappears from the "My Movies" section in ATV.
Looking more closely, it's clear on the bar in the sync window that the data hasn't copied across because the amount of data on the ATV relating to movies should have doubled, when it hasn't increased at all!
I've repeated this process 3 or 4 times - no luck. Movies bought from the iTunes store via the ATV sync to the computer perfectly.
My wireless network is via a time capsule set to N rather than B or G - does that affect anything?
Please can anyone help before my wife files for divorce? I'm beginning to think that the ATV might just prove to be one "little white box" too many for continued marital harmony!
Thanks.

OK I've done a LOAD more work on this and I think it's related to the port 3689 thing so many people are having problems with.
Photos and music sync fine. I don't have trouble finding ATV in the devices from iTunes. But still, every time I try to sync a movie from iTunes to ATV, it goes through the process with no substantive outcome. When I shut down the mac or just quit iTunes ATV has no movies.
One of the movies I'm trying to sync to ATV was one originally bought from the iTunes store via the ATV, so I am certain there are no movie compatibility issues.
I tried to do a custom sync also - which achieved nothing except to generate the port 3689 error. I can get rid of the 3689 error message by turning off the firewall - but that's not such a great achievement given that it still simply goes through this phantom sync process with no eventual outcome.
As I said, maddeningly, photos and music sync perfectly - the rainbow bar on the sync page almost instantly demonstrates new content on the ATV as soon as the process starts. It never does this when syncing a movie.
So. What now? At the moment I have an expensive white and grey brick and I am very very unhappy. I would take the whole lot back to the shop if it weren't for the "told you it was a waste of money" look I'll get from the wife!
For background, it's a wireless network running off a time capsule with one airport express as a bridge. No windows or pc rubbish in the house!
Does anyone from Apple read these posts? If so, what is being done to fix the problem - or are we all to be compensated appropriately for the time, effory and money spent?
Thanks.

Help! movies i bought in the itunes store willl not sync to my iphone

I recently purchased rocky from the itunes store. As soon as the movie finished downloading, I attempted to put it on my iphone, but when i did this an error message appeard which said that rocky could not be copied onto my iphone because it cannot be played on my iphone. I then tryed syncing another video i bought from the itunes store, and the result was the same. Is this a problem with my iphone, or do certain movies on itunes just not play on the iphone?

That is odd as I didn't have this problem with mine. Do the movies play on iTunes okay?

How can I move my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library (with my cps ripped) to my Mac iTunes library?

Just for my curiosity and knowledge,
I have a PC (Windows 7) and a Mac (OS X 10.10).
Both of them with the latest version of iTunes.
Both of them with the exact music library (genre, artist, album, etc).
All my music is coming from iTunes Store, so very easy to re download at any time I want with my Apple ID
My PC (Windows 7) computer has a CD/DVD drive. I would like to RIP some music from my CDs and add them to my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library.
Once I finished, how can I move my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library (with my cps ripped) to my Mac iTunes library?
Thank you so much

If you've downloaded the media idependently to each library so far then thet won't be exactly the same as there are different naming rules for the files and folders in OS X and Windows. See Make a split library portable for some general advice. You can move a portable library between Mac and Windows, but there is a delay opening the library after each change of OS.

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

Just upgraded to 10.7 - cannot play movies or TV programs - iTunes freezes and Windows states iTunes has stopped working and kicks me out - play audio OK, store and synching to devices OK.

Running Windows Vista Home Premium - Service Pack2
iTunes has always worked beautifully - opened it yesterday and said upgrade was available so I did and upgrade seemed to be successful - no errors and program launches and all my music, TV programs, Movies, etc, were there. Audio works well. Tonight I tried to play a movie and got the Windows iTunes has stopped working and searching for solution (which there is none) and closing the warning box closes iTunes. iTunes used to launch a "separate" black window for my movies/TV - I seemed to get a black background before everything freezes. Not happy. Thanks for any help - I tried to upgrade quicktime just to make sure it wasn't lagging behind the iTunes upgrade but that didn't help.

Let's try the following user tip with that:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Error 50 or freeze when watching a movie while downloading from itunes store since version 10.6 (windows 7 64bit).

When I am downloading a tv show and try to play it at the same time, not matter the remaining time of the download, itunes stop the download with an error after a couple of minutes. (error 50.) Somethimes, it just freeze instead. I am able to resume the download and watch again till the next stop.
I have no problem just playing or just dowloading, only when doing both. I have this problem since version 10.6 only. This affect all my new downloads since then.
My first guest would be a hard drive saturation that can't handle the load. Maybe itunes stop downloading when the hard drive is too busy. But again, never had this problem before. It it was the case, the playing should stop, not the download !
My config is iunes 10.6.040, windows 7 64 bits.
Thanks for your help.

This has been happening on my Windows 7 64-bit computer as well same exact problem with the latest version of iTunes. It does look like they have some kind of bug in this new version where the downloading process just dies when it has to deal any I/O wait from file playback, really a bad bug as this is a core function of iTunes that shouldn't have gotten through the testing process. I have to say that iTunes is one of the buggiest pieces of software I have ever used in my entire life, all kinds of regressions and bugs with every update and they are on version 10.6.x ! Apple must have some poor developers in the iTunes team, hey guys put down the bong and chips and actually establish a standard continuous integration and testing process with good test coverage for iTunes! You shouldn't have regressions on such core functionalities especially with a software as mature as this, what's going on? Or is it that you've been instructed to make the software a crappy as possible for Windows so everyone goes to buy a Mac and OS X?
More bugs just off the top of my head in the latest iTunes 10.6.x:
- In the download screen when you double click to playback a movie while it is downloading, if you pause the movie the play button goes grey, you cannot start playing the paused movie again without quitting the movie and clicking to start it again from iTunes
- The next/prev chapter buttons during movie playback don't work at all anymore, they simply crash the movie, close the window and go back to iTunes
- Many times after getting the unknown error -50 or -39 because you tried to play a movie while it was downloading, when you go back to the download window to restart the download iTunes loses all the downloaded movie content it had it starts over for no apparent reason! Wonderful!
For a company that sells/rents really expensive movies and music you would expect a really high standard go into the software development process, apparently shareholders are more important than customers.

How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes??????

How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes?

As jules says, your rate (currently at least) may be slow.
If it used to be good I wonder is your ISP is slowing ('throttling') your speed after you've used so many GB of a quota each day or month - check what they think you should be getting as a download speed.
While Apple's servers do occasionally play up, it's generally the ISP being slow not Apple.
If you're using Google's DNS servers that has caused issues for some.
Recommended speeds for near instant playback:
SD         2.5Mbps
720p      6 Mbps
1080p    8 Mbps
Is your speed test from somewhere like speedtest.net?
It might be helpful to post Mbps to ensure we/you are not confusing speeds by using different units to those measured.

HT204411 I am in Australia and wish to purchase a movie in the USA itunes store and download it to my windows 7 computer. Can anyone help?

I am in Australia and wish to purchase a movie in the USA itunes store and download it to my windows 7 PC. Can any one help?

You can only buy content from your own country's store, to buy from the US store you will need to be in the US with a US billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the film be added to the Australian store, but unless the film studio/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

I download itunes to my dell so i could my new ipad. can i move music form windows media to itunes

i download itunes to my dell so i could use my new ipad. can i move music form windows media player to itunes

You can import media to iTunes via File > Add Files/Folders to Library.

Is there a way to move files from Windows Media player to Itunes?

I have a lot of files in windows media player from Walmart.com. Is there any way to move these into my itunes library to sync onto the Nano?

Do you know what format the video is in and if its protected? most likely you will need to convert it, there quite a few converters out there. (i can't remember any)
