My movies are not downloading
I have wasted most of my evening trying to get two movies to download on iTunes. I have never had this problem before. They are coming up as 'watch' when I go into iTunes but then there are two grey boxes where the video front covers should be when I go into videos. Do you know what I should do?
This problem was sorted for me recently by Apple tech support. It occurs because you have insufficient space remaining to download the film the processing part requires as much space as the film so in other words if the film uses 3.5 you need to have 7.0 of space before you start. Once the download is completed the final space used will only be 3.5.
To solve the problem make sure all important files are switched on in Settings and save to icloud. Then go to reset to factory settings which will delete them from the ipad. You will then need to retrieve the files from icloud.
My advice would be to phone apple technical support for free and they will do it with you. Good luck.

On my Apple Tv, the movies are not downloading, what next?
I have used Apple TV for over a month, choose a movie and it downloads, today it is not doing, despite having tried so many things, even checking the credit card setting. Feel very frustrated.... Any advice on how to have the movies downloading again?
ThanksIs there an error?
Best to check the network, below are some common area to look into
Current connection, use speedtest.net
DNS, should be on automatic (settinga - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise. -

I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content. I no longer can.There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine. -
My movie is not downloading but the movie extras are, how do i get the movie back without repurchasing it? I've tried searching through my available downloads but only the extras showed up not the movie. All my other movies are there including the extras from the movie. I really want the movie & I don't want to repurchase it if I can avoid it.
When I tried to get it through my Purchased in iTunes - iStore it says
" You have already purchased this item"
"You have alreaady purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Avaliable Downloads from the Store menu."
Which leads me right back to having all the other tv shows & movies that aren't on my laptop downloading but not the actual movie I want. I already have the extras but I really would like the movie .
Any help or advice would be appreciated

My movies will not download to my iPad. And the downloads are not available for my computer. How do I cancel or get the movies to my iPad? I am on wifi and 3 g. Not happy
Hi,
For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA. For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems. Let me know if this helps.
Cheers. -
Most of my movies are not showing up in my library or my devices. what can I do?
Out of all the movies Ive purchased only 4 or so are showing up in my library and same with my ipad which used to display all my movies even if they were not downloaded onto my ipad. how do I fix this?
Hey there La Reveuse,
It sounds like your iOS devices and computers are not showing your Movie purchases from iTunes anymore that are not downloaded to them. On your iOS devices you can check to see if the option to show all your movies is enabled in Settings > Videos. On your computer(s) this option is labeled Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases in its preferences.

or

I if this is enabled on your devices, I would next check to see if the purchases have been hidden with this article:

Die Cover gekaufter Filme werden nicht angezeigt.
Ich habe einige Filme und TV-Sendungen im iTunes Store gekauft. Leider werden die Cover der gekauften Filme und TV-Sendungen nicht angezeigt. Sie sind in den Meta-Tags vorhanden.

The last 2 songs I purchased, Treasure and Take Back the Night, are not downloading from the cloud on my iPhone 4 or my iPad2. I have tried previous suggestions on the support page. Can anyone suggest further solutions?
Hello BwarsIG88
Check your purchase history by going to the iTunes Store and then click on purchases. From there you can see all your purchase history and download what you are missing.
