Previously Purchased Movie on iTunes No Longer Showing Up Under Purchased Items

I purchased a movie from iTunes in November 2012 (Coldplay: Live 2012) and it wasn't showing up on my AppleTV Purchased movies section (wanting to use the iTunes Extra feature on recent AppleTV 6.2 update). I've checked other threads and it was suggested to check my account for Hidden Purchases. The movie I purchased does not show up under Hidden Purchases.
I then checked Purchased items from the main iTunes page, and I don't even see the movie listed there, even though I have a record of the purchase through my Purchase History under My Account.
Any suggestions on how to get this to show up under my Purchased items on iTunes or AppleTV?

I am having similar problems buying movies. The rights issue occurs even if iTunes change or reduces the price of a movie. I now have to check my saved library of past purchases to confirm I do not already have the movie to avoid buying it again.The latest occurrence was fifth element. 
It would be really useful if apple would allow you to download a full copy of your past purchases as it is no longer possible to rely on the iTunes store to match your own downloaded  content library and the current licenses it holds. This also plays havoc with genius recommendations for purchases.
It would be nice if apple could buy Time/Warner or another media giant so we could break this monopoly of selling the same content over and over again by simply changing the format or metadata of a product.

  • HT4743 movie purchased on apple TV no longer shows up in purchased

    I purchased Puss in Boots several months ago and, out of the blue, it is no longer in my purchased list on AppleTV, yet still shows up in iTunes on my computer. Please advise how to get it back onto my Apple TV, as it is no longer purchasble through Apple TV (I searched).
    Thank you!!!

    Seem to have fixed the problem. I read somewhere that some routers sometimes struggle to link Apple TVs to wired PCs so I bought an Apple Airport Extreme router. Job done, works perfectly. The AAE seems faster than my previous router and the ATV certainly takes far less time to acquire the library from the PC.

  • HT201272 purchases not showing in iTunes grid, but showing downloaded under purchases

    After converting to iTunes Match, I made additional purchases from the iTunes store.  They show as downloaded under purchases in the quick links on the home page, however, they do not appear in my iTunes library, Album Grid by Artist, etc.  I literally have to go to the purchases to play those songs vs. pulling them up in the album grid and playing them. 
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Thank you.

    I think the Purchased list in your library only shows purchases made on that computer. If they are music, film, or tv shows have you copied them onto your old computer (or a backup) so that they are in the main sections (Music, Films, TV Programmes) of your iTunes library ?

  • Since an update about a month ago, iTunes no longer shows which songs on an album I've previously purchased. Anyone know why?

    Somce an update about a month ago, iTunes no longer shows which songs on a particular album I've previously purchased. Does anyone know why? For example, I purchase a number os songs fro Glee individually. When a new compilation album comes out, iTunes used to indicate which ones I've already purchased. Now it doesn't.

    you could use this script:
    Track Down Purchases 
    This script will examine each track in a selection of tracks or a selected playlist to determine if it was purchased from the iTunes Store and then copies it to a discrete playlist named for the person who purchased it, eg: "Steve Ballmer's Purchased Music". Recognizes song, video, and audiobook purchases. Purchaser information is gleaned by examining the track's file, which, depending on file location and access speed, can take as long a second per track.

  • How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

    Hey Hey! 
    Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
    I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!

    Thanks!

    Deborah,
    You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes.  The syncing process is only one way.  However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder.  From there you can copy them back over to your PC. 
    Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

  • How do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

    Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
    If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

  • Why don't purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy no longer sync in my iPad2 and iPod touch 4?

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • I have downloaded a movie from ITunes.  It shows up in my video app.  When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

    I have downloaded a movie from ITunes.  It shows up in my video app.  When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded".  Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

    Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

  • Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

    I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
    I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
    Natalie

    I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

    My app store on my macbook pro no longer shows that i purchased mountain lion. So when I am trying to do a reinstall it is not letting me put mountain lion, without re-purchasing it

    Pardon the question, but you are checking the mac app store > Purchases (not iTunes or iTunes store or the app store for iDevices)? Have you tried holding the Option key while clicking on Purchases (shows hidden purchases).

  • Cannot sync ATV1 Purchased Movies with iTunes

    I have recently purchased 5 movies via my ATV1.  I cannot sync or get my purchased
    movies into itunes.  They are not in my itunes folder and I have no available downloads.
    They used to always automatically appear in my iTunes folder, but not anymore.  The TV
    shows I've purchased are syncing, just not movie purchases.
    I have the most recent ATV1 update and most recent iTunes update.  Any help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?

    Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?
    Picture added is not displayed in the finder ; when transfering the movie to an Ipad, it is not displayed either.
    iMac 27', Mavericks 10.9 + iTunes 11.1.2

    Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
    Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
