Previously purchased movies and TV shows unable to download again

I previously purchased some movies and TV shows.
When I cleaned my computer, I was unable to take them off my itunes and keep them from using my MacAir memory unless I removed them from my computer. I cannot uncheck them from my itunes library, I had to delete them from my Itunes Media folder.
This seems to have made it impossible to download them from the cloud to my computer again.
How do I fix this?
How do I keep these items in the cloud, but off my computer without using my hard drive?
Thank you

iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
(If it's not there, log out of hte store then log back in. It's kinda flaky)
All your purchases should show wtih a cloud icon next to the title.
Click the cloud icon to download or right click - Download.
If you just click Play, it wil stream and not download to your computer.

I have lost all my purchased movies and tv shows on my iTunes

Please help as i have lost all my purchases on my apple tv how do i recover these?

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

I have previously viewed movies and TV Shows on my IPHONE that I want to delete and free up space so that I can buy new movies/TV show to watch. How do I get them off my IPHONE and my ITUNES account?

Purchased movies and tv shows won't show up in iTunes on my Macbook Air

So, I have recently begun purchasing movies and TV shows through iTunes in an attempt to further enrich my Apple ecosystem (and to have awesome movies to watch on a 5.5" screen ). I have had mixed experiences with this transition and am still having issues. For example, my Apple TV worked fine with all my purchases instantly -- no problem there. My Mac Mini takes a bit but it sorts itself out in no time. My iPhone 6 Plus, however, has failed at showing new purchases in the cloud in the videos app (for example, I purchased Doctor Who Series 8 and wanted to watch an episode the other day but was disappointed to find out that it wasn't available in the cloud). My Macbook Air though.. absolutely no movies or tv shows show up in iTunes. I can download them from the purchased section of the iTunes store, but at 2-3 GBs an episode, and the limited memory of a Macbook, I have only condoned a desire to stream them through iCloud.
Yet I can't figure it out. Why aren't my shows and movies showing up at all in iTunes? All of my iTunes match songs show up just fine. I have checked and nothing is hidden, so I am literally stumped.
If anyone could help me understand why, that would be great. And if anybody knows what is going on with my iPhone's video app, that would be awesome too.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Oh alright -- I manage to resolve my own stupidity quite abruptly, actually.
Shortly after posting this, I annoying took another gander at iTunes Store settings. To my own idiocy, I must have unchecked "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" at some point. In my defense, though, the availability of songs in iCloud threw me off quite a lot.
Ha ha -- anyways, if anyone else is having the same problem, check there.

How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them. I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
a) Impossible
b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine
d) purchase an external USB drive and plug it directly to the apple tv 3
e) purchase a NAS drive and configure the apple tv 3 to use it
f) [your answer here]
Thank you,
Chris

Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
so ... can you help me (once again) ..
you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
"You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
once again Obrigado (Thank You)

Is there any way to download all previously purchased audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss

Is there any way to download all previously purchased audiobooks and tv shows after a complete dataloss, my ipod is not updated and I have lost everything?
Thanks

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

Loosing Sync Purchased Movies and TV Shows (ATV 2.4 & iTunes 8.2.1 )

Had my 160gb ATV for about 6 months now with now problems. Have my entire audio library synced, movies, tv, shows etc. All my music is DRM free. All my TV shows are purchased from Apple. My movies are a mixture of ones purchased from apple and some of my converted DVD's via handbrake. Music videos from apple.
Within the last day, my ATV isn't showing all my movie and tv shows I've purchased.
About 2 weeks ago, my ATV upgraded to 2.4 (I do have the latest Boxee running on it). And earlier this week, I upgraded my PC with iTunes to 8.2.1.
Now shows just started disappearing from the ATV.
I "disconnected" my ATV from my PC with iTunes (of course I rebooted both my PC (WinXP) and ATV).
Next I reconnected my ATV to my PC with my iTunes libaray. It is going through a long resynch process.
But it still looks like it is only resynching certain items. Music all look OK (all drm free). Music videos moving over. Only some movies and no TV shows (again).
One thing I noticed is that all none DRM items seem to be resynching. Also DRM items that have Fairplay 2 seem to be resynching. But anything that has fairplay 3 doesn't seem to be moving to the ATV.
I just purchased season 2 of burn notice. It downloads to my PC OK, but none of these new shows are syncing to the ATV either.
Could it be something with particular versions of fairplay?
Any other suggestions?
This is killing me, as I was trying to catch up on some TV shows this summer.
Thanks
Greg

I can't download tv shows or rented movies. My iPad indicates that I have 1.3 GB available and even though the downloads are less than that, the movies and tv shows will not download and the message I get says I don't have enough available storage.

Also, I bought additional storage but it shows up in iCloud and does not alleviate the need for additional storage for videos. What can I do to get additional storage to download rented movies and tv shows?

In General you need 2 to 3 times the Space of the Download File size.
If you are getting the Not Enough Space message... you will need to Delete items to create sufficent space

HT204370 I have purchased movie hunger games but unable to download on my iPad 2. All of sudden it show error sigh and says not enough place?

2 days back I purchased movie hunger games on my iPad 2 32g and I paid and got the reciept ,when I tried to tap to download it shows error sign and says 'delete pictures and videos ... To start I barely have much stored still I took my pictures and deleted some serials which I had purchased . Still it doesn't work .
iTunes shud pay and refund money o me or fix the problem . Last year it happened with movie ' Jane ayre which I purchased could never download .

How much free space do you have on your iPad : Settings > General > About > Available ? If you've bought the HD version then (if I'm looking at the correct version of the film) it appears to be 5.2 gig that you will need, if it's SD then you will need 2.13 gig.

With iOS 7 do you now have the choice to stream purchased movies and TV shows on your iPad and/or download them. I seem to be able to do this ( on my home wifi) and I am not home sharing to a computer. Have not seen this mentioned anywhere.

Ability to stream purchased videos via wifi is a great change, also you still seem to have the choice to download video directly to iPad if you want to take it with you.
Am I understanding this correctly?

I did a little bit more research, and if I go into iTunes and choose to display TV Shows and Movies as a List, I get a nice, sortable list of movies and shows to which I can add columns. A column that you can add is called "iCloud Status."
This column shows either Purchased or Ineligible for all of the titles. And this is where things get really confusing.
Sure enough, the items that are "missing" from the iPads, iPhone, Apple TV, etc. are the Ineligible items, but that's not the confusing part. What IS confusing is which items are Ineligible.
A good example is my Deadliest Catch collection -- I own the entire season 3 and 4 of DC; season 3 is Purchased and Season 4 is Ineligible. Back to the Big Bang Theory, I have five episodes from Season 4 -- 3 are Ineligible and 2 are Purchased.
It makes absolutely no sense that episodes from the same season of the same show would be a mix of Purchased and Ineligible!

HT201272 this help tree *****!!!!! I can't download a previously purchased movie, and all I get are instructions. How can I get an answer without going through 55 million "help" trees? Jesus!!!

In more detail, first, I purchased at least 7 tv seasons, adn they do not show up on when I purchased a new computer. are they forever lost? Secondly, my ituns account shows 1 item to be downloaded, but when I click on "download," it "thinks" for about 30 seconds and then reverts back to the alert. argh. can someone help?

this did not help. that is why I reached out. The link does not answer my question. please help.

My iPad will sync everything but purchased movies and tv shows.

The message I get is that my computer is not authorised but when I go into store - authorize etc it tells me that my computer is already authorised.
Am I missing something? This has never been a problem before.

Recently when I try to watch my purchased movies and tv shows on my apple tv I can't.

I select the episode I would like to watch, I press play, it says it is "loading" and then it goes back to episode summery. This has been going on for days. All the shows under my husband's apple id work just fine. I have tried logging off, logging back in, reset, master reset...nothing works.
