Movies on iPad downloading in iMovie

i took several videos of my students and want to put them in one iMovie video. i took most of the videos with my iPad. When I first started working on this, I could see all the videos in "recently added" and I could add them to the movie. Now, they show up as downloading from the cloud, even the ones on my iPad. The same ones keep being downloaded and each time I openIMovie, they have to download again. Why are they in the cloud when they should just be on my iPad? Why does it keep asking me to download them over and over? Please help, I want to show the video to my students next week! Thanks!

Yes - I have seen this happen with movies & apps. It happened to me once. But other users have reported this as well. I have no clue if this will work, but try it - restart the iPad and see if the download will resume.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Cannot download some movies to iPad, download icon is now Watch icon

Hello,
I have an iPad mini, and a family member bought a movie that I wanted to download to my iPad (we have a shared Apple ID in iTunes). If I go to the iTunes Store app on my ipad -> Purchased -> Movies -> All, I see the movie I want. The icon that's usually the cloud with an arrow for download is not there, what I do see is an icon that says Watch. If I click Watch, I am switched into my Videos app, the movie tab, where I see other movies, but not the new one I want to download.
If I go back to the iTunes app and this time go to Purchased -> Movies -> Not on This iPad, I don't see the new movie, but again, Purchased -> Movies -> All shows it.
I've hard and soft reset the iPad, I've logged out and back into iTunes via Settings -> iTunes & App Store, still have the same issue.
I've looked at iTunes Purchased -> Movies -> All for other movies, some have the cloud/arrow download icon, some are Watch. What causes the icon to be Watch vs Download? How do I get the Download icon back? I've also gone into Settings -> General -> Usage -> Movies and it's not listed there. I thought maybe the download had started and crashed, but it's not there. Other movies also have the Watch button and they're ones I know I never downloaded, so I don't think that's it.
Anyone else had their Download button replaced by a Watch button, and figured out how to fix that?
Thanks!

Go to "Settings." Select "videos." Then select "show all videos." This way it will show all your purchases, even the ones truly in the cloud that you have not downloaded to your iPad. Then go into your "Videos" Select the movie you want, then instead of seeing a watch icon, it will give you the icon with the download from the cloud sign in the upper right corn. So far so good. It's not really a fix, but a way around, until the issue is dealt with by apple.

I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
Disconnect the device from your computer.
iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.

Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I purchased the Cars and Cars 2 bundle using my iPad. When I loged in with iTunes, the movies started to download to my laptop but somehow, I deleted Cars but Cars 2 and the iTunes extras for both are still there. How do I get Cars to download again?

By the way, I just purchased this movie last night. I somehow deleted Cars while the other parts of the bundle were still downloading. I tried looking into iClod but I was unable to find a link to download the movie again.

Can't open downloaded rental movies on ipad

I downloaded two movies. I see the picture of the movie in movies but when I click play it says movie won't download. What do I do.

Did you tap the "Music Videos" category at the top of the Videos page -- just under the time display? There are separate category buttons for each type video on your iPad, such as Movies, Music Videos, TV Shows, etc.

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

Movie Won't Download from iTunes on iPad

I recently purchased two movies from iTunes using a gift card I got for Christmas. I started the download and once the first movie got too about 3.2 GB of 6.2' it stopped and started over for no apparent reason. I tried multiple times to download both movies with no luck the first 24 hours. Was hoping to have it for my flight for my vacation. Over the course of the next three days I have tried downloading the first movie at least 15 times on various WiFi networks, It always begins the download and then either restarts it on it's own or now gives me an error message saying the movie cannot be downloaded at this time, please try again later. I finally got the second movie to download after 10 attempts, but still no luck with the first. I know for certain I had a continuous WiFi connection every time. I am EXTREMELY frustrated at this point. I still have remaining dollars to spend from my gift card, but figure why even bother? I really hope someone can give me an idea which works. So far I have deleted the beginning download on multiple occasions and also tried restarting after this 4 times and nothing seems to work.

I have been having this problem since iOS 7 released. I have a 32gb 3rd gen iPad. I seem to have some artificial cap of 7 items from iTunes on my iPad at once. Even with 6 movies I have 5.8gb left. I only download the SD versions.
As soon as I hit 7 movies/tv shows on my iPad downloads fail almost 100% of the time. They get near the end, freeze and then loop. Ocassionally I'll get a "Unable to download" error but most times it just keeps going over and over. Not only do I have this extremely annoying issue, but during this problem my iPad becomes nearly unusable. While downloading, my iPad runs so poorly I'll open my cover or press the wake button and the screen will remain off. I can press both buttons, open/close the cover and NOTHING. It will stay like that for a minute sometimes. IF it becomes usable apps will take 30 seconds just to open/close, scrolling is unresponsive for many seconds at a time and then scrolls all at once. It almost as if the download is using all of the CPU's power.
I have 253 movies I've bought in iTunes. I own 6 Apple TV's, 2 Retina Macbooks, 1 iMac, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. iTunes works great on all of those devices minus my iPad. My wife's, which is the same model minus a cell connection is fine. I am extremely annoyed with this problem. I've started to loathe using my iPad and thats just rediculous.
If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears, I've tried these fixes:
Erased all content/settings and restored from iCloud Back up
Erased all content/settings and restored but DID NOT use iCloud back up. (I did notice downloads worked great for the first few weeks, then went to crap.)
Tried force restarting the iPad when its acting up
Used my Time Capsule's Wifi - No change
Used my guest network from my Netgear router - No Change
Used my parent's wifi today - No change.
This doesnt seem to be a widespread problem, I've had trouble finding help on these forums. Apple is constantly silent and most other users never reply with the same problem. I'm close to giving up and getting a replacement from Square Trade. I will not buy a new iPad less than two years after getting that one, mainly out of protest. I have little confidence in the Air doing much better or lasting longer than this current one.

Tried to download movies onto IPad 2 and keep getting download error message after it spent hours downloading data. Had 4 movies lined up and want to cancel downloads as I started this process 5 hours ago. Wanted to take ipad with me on plane tomorrow,

Tried to download 4 movies to IPad 2. After 1 taking 1 1/2 hrs received download message on 1st one. Said to retry and is 2 hrs later and still downloading. Others show waiting... I want to cancel the whole deal as something is wrong. On MacBook shows that I've already purchased these movies, but they don't show in library and won't download.

Update
OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps. So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
& so far it is working ok.

You may be attempting to Share (export) the movie from the Event Library. You need to create a Project, drag clips (or segments of clips) from the Event to the Project, then use the Share menu to export the Project. Movie clips can't be exported directly from the Event. Clips you add to a Project reference (point to) the clips in the associated Event (or Events).

I created movie using iMovies on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Transferred movie to iPad in iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. where should I look?

I created movie using iMovie on iMac. Sent movie to iTunes on iMac. Then sent to iPad using iTunes. I can not find it on iPad. Where should I look? When iPad is connected to iMac it shows it to be in movies. When I look under iTunes movies on iPad I get movies I can rent or buy. when I look under videos I get a blank screen

Are you looking in the Videos app? iMovie on the iPad? The Photos App? I don't use iMovie but those are the three places where you should look.

If I download/rent a movie on iPad 1 should it show on my iMac or in my library

If I download/rent a movie on iPad 1 should it show on my iMac or in my library of Apple TV

A movie rented on an iPad cannot be transferred to another device. If you purchase a movie, though, it should be transferred to your iMac when you sync the iPad in iTunes. You can then play the movie in your Apple TV.
Or if it's an Apple TV 2nd or 3rd generation, you should be able to play a purchased or rented movie through the Apple TV via AirPlay.
Regards.

Have you checked that the App is compatable with your 2nd Gen iPod and its iOS version...
The 2nd Gen can Only go to iOS 4.2.1

Hello sweetling,
The following article details how to download purchases made on another device.

If for some reason the movie cannot be downloaded on your computer, I would recommend reporting an issue with the purchase.
