No download of purchased movies but see them in the media folder - just download/stream them when wanted

Is it possible not to download my purchased movies but to see them in the media folder of itunes - so that i just download/stream them when i want to see them.
So is there a possibility of connecting my cloud - save there my movies and stream them or download them when i wanna watch - and after that i remove them from my harddisk - but they should always remain as icon in my media folder of itunes. The reason is i just have about 100 gb harddisc space on my macbook and all these hd movies take so much space i have to outsource them. But still i want to have a nice collection/overview somewhere of my purchased items.
Thank you for your help!

Hi there apearsal,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve purchased movies with your Apple TV and want to know how to download those movies to your iPad, so that you can watch them later without a Wi-Fi network connection. Take a look at this article, it’ll walk you through the process of downloading purchases:

  • TS1389 When I go to play a movie, I get prompted that the original file cannot be found.  When I do a search on spotlight it cannot be found, but it does appear in my purchases.  How do I re-download when it does not appear that it is allowed?

    Hello paddyrb154,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased movie in iTunes on your iMac.  It sounds like iTunes thinks the movie is on your computer, but it is not located in the iTunes Media folder. 
    For an issue like this, I recommend deleting the movie from iTunes and downloading it from the iTunes Store again.  Use these steps to delete the movie:
    Mac or PC
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Movies.
    Click Movies in the navigation bar.
    Click the movie you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the movie cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).

    Once you have deleted the movie, you can click on the cloud icon to download the movie again.  If you do not see the cloud icon, use the steps in the section titled “Download previous purchases on Mac or PC ” in the following article to download the movie from your list of past purchases in the iTunes Store:

  • Notes disappearing off ipad  but see them in icloud how to get them back on ipad

    disappearing notes in notes app but see them in icloud
    i had 10 notes in my iOS5.1 ipad then I turned on icloud with notes
    all the notes went up to the notes folder on icloud mail plus some were duplicated on  icloud - than a day later I went to my notes app on the ipad to use them  and all were missing but 2 notes -- I can't figure out how to get them back on to the ipad under notes -  I saw lots of people having the same issue but no resolution to fix - can you give me any ideas  - I only have 2 devices   ipad and pc with icloud
    thanks marsha

    Hi Michael, thanks for replying. Yes, I meant the music videos. I want to keep on using Match but at the same time I want my music vids included as music. The alternative is to consider them a basic "movies" but it is just not it... It is also strange that I can not delete from the iPad a downloaded song from match without turning of Match on the iPad. Well, we´ll have to live with it.

  • HT1657 I rented a movie but had to interrupt the download as I was not near a Wi-Fi hot spot for a period of time.  I boarded a plane and then could not watch the movie.  Can I get a credit for the rental since I was not able to watch it?

    I was downloading a rented movie but could not finish the download before I had to board a plane.  I went to play the movie on the plane but received an error message and could not watch it.  I was charged for the rental.  Can I get a credit?

    Personally I would raise the problem with iTunes Store Support via:
    https://expresslane.apple.com
    You can also Report a Problem via the link in your Purchase Invoice e-mail or from your iTunes account Purhcase History by logging into your Account Settings in iTunes on a computer.

  • Can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    can i use time capsule to backup movies and see them wireless without redirecting my itunes library to the time capsule?

    It seems the ability to restore from backup discs was removed along with the ability to create them. You will need to temporarily install an older version of iTunes (e.g. 10.3) to recover the media from those discs.
    See Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I for a previous thread discussing this.

    Hi Ken,
    Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
    I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
    Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared  
    Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
    I have of course rebooted,
    Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads,  tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
    On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
    Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can  put files there?  There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting.  Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
    Please, feel free to contact me,
    I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

  • I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app.

    I have a receipt for a rented movie but can't find the movie in iTunes or on Video app. Shouldn't it show in my movie file on iTunes or Video app on iPad?

    If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app - if it hasn't completed downloading then it might still show in the iTunes app in a Downloads tab in it (Downloads only shows if there are downloads happening), the iTunes app on your iPad is just the store.
    If it doesn't show in Videos then does it show via the iPad's spotlight search screen : pull down the centre of the homescreen (not from the very top of the screen, that will open Notification Centre) ?
    If you rented it on your computer's iTunes then you will have to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use its Movies tab to move it over to the iPad - rentals are a one-time only download, so won't show on your iPad for redownloading.
    If you can't find it on the device/computer that you rented it on then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

    Remove documents from iCloud
    You can remove documents stored in iCloud by deleting them from any of your devices that have iCloud set up for Documents & Data. Removing your documents from iCloud reduces the amount of iCloud storage space you’re using.
    Remove iCloud documents from your iOS device
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.
    Under Documents & Data, tap the app that has a document you want to delete, then tap Edit.
    Remove iCloud documents from your Mac
    Open iCloud preferences, then click Manage.
    Select an app on the left, then select one or more documents on the right.
    Click Delete (below the list of apps).
    You can also remove documents from iCloud by moving them to your Mac with OS X v10.8 or later. For instructions, use go to the Finder on your Mac, choose Help > Help Center, then search for “save documents.”

  • Phone will save ringtones/pictures but not show them in the media folder.

    As my subject said, my phone will save pictures and ringtones, however will not show them in the media folder, but if I got through the long way, through the "files" icon in applications all of the new ringtones and pictures are there. So any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Hello TyRamos and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Remove your battery followed by your media card.
    Reinsert your battery first and allow the device to complete the reboot. Once done, insert your media card. You should get a pop saying media card is inserted.
    Go to your Media folder and check for your photos and ringtones.
    Let me know how you make out
    Thanks

    Yes, if the iPod is a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod classic, iPod touch, or a third or fourth generation iPod nano, and the movie is in iTunes. A Fifth Generation iPod can't play rented movies.

  • Why isn't all my downloaded music in the Media Folder(Windows 7 iTunes 11)

    I recently purchased a new PC. When I installed iTunes back on my new PC, it pulled down all my music. I can go to any song and it will play with no problems. However, when I was needing to add some music to a project, I went to iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I only see a very few of my songs. Where are they? Do I have to pay for them again and download? I now wish that I had not installed the new version.
    Thanks to anyone that has an answer

    Had the media folder changed at some point?
    You can use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to bring in copies of the files that are outside of the media folder having checked you've got the right folder selected. You'll need to manually clean up the originals.
    Backup the library before you make changes, then update the backup once you're certain everything is as you want it. Refresh the backup regularly.
