Purchased movie on Apple TV, but can't download to ipad.

I recently got an Apple TV, I purchased a movie on it using the same iTunes account as on my ipad. I purchased a movie on my Apple TV. But I wanted to downloaded it to my ipad, but what I click on the movie the only option I get is to watch, not download to my ipad. What is going on?

from the apple rental page;

You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
Probably not what you wanted to see, but there it is. I believe this is tied to the liscensing agreements with the studios.

Purchased movie hours ago...can't download, iTunes store temp unavailable..

I purchased a movie hours ago and when I select "check for purchases" I get a message:
"unable to check for purchases, iTunes store is temporarily unavailable, please try again later."
Well, its been hours since I purchased it, still can't download it. Why is this happening and what do I do in order to get my movie?
PLEASE HELP.
Thank you.

The best thing you can do, if you haven't gotten a response in a couple of hours, is to go back to your original question, reply to yourself with something like, "Can someone help?" When you do this, your question moves back to the top of the page & hopefully someone will see it. Merry Christmas!

Cannot see "all" iTunes movies on Apple TV but can Air Play all of them?

Hi all.
I have a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion (Now Mavericks but had the same issue before today) with a Pegasus R6 drive storing my iTunes library. The issue I am having is when I go to either one of my Apple TVs about 90% of the movies in iTunes show up in the list. I have re installed the Apple TV OS as well as had one of the units replaced. I don’t get the issue with photos, music, TV shows etc just the movies. Originally I thought it may have been wrong format as there is a combo of DVD rips using Pavtube BD ripper (encoded for Apple TV) and some from my Sony Action Cam but there is nothing consistent about the ones not showing. The strange thing is when I locate these movies that are not listed in iTunes and use the airplay feature to send it to the Apple TV it has no issues at all? As a side note I had the same issue on my old network but not have 4 brand new Airport Extremes and this mini was a replacement for an iTunes that had the same issues so I don’t think its OS.
Any thoughts wonderful people?

James Ward4 Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes. Thanks again.

HT1491 i rented a movie on my iMac and can't download to iPad?

I rented a movie on imac and trying to upload on ipad ? not successful

Hi there njjill,
You should be able to download the rental directly to your iPad via past purchases. Take a look at the article below for more information.

I want a cd founded on sound hound renaissance by the miracles but can't download n iPad

On sound hound renaissance by The Miracles but iTunes don't seem to have the cd on record ?????

The iTunes Store doesn't have every CD ever released by any means. If you can't find it in the iTunes Store, then buy it where you can. As long as it's a standard audio CD or is downloadable in a standard, non-copy-protected format, then you can most likely then import it into iTunes.
Regards.

Can't watch purchased movies on Apple TV

I purchased movies on Apple TV but I can't watch them through Apple TV, only through my computer. They are in 'Purchased on Apple tv" on iTunes but when I browse Apple TV, they are nowhere to be found. Do I need to transfer them somehow somewhere? Thanks!

Purchases made on the tv will at some point transfer themselves back to itunes, this will enable you to back them up and protect them against loss. Providing your sync/stream options are set accordingly you should then see them either be synced or streamed to the tv for viewing.

Purchased movies in Apple TV.

I got access to my purchased movies in Apple TV, but my question is that they are two movies that don't show up, and they are HD, but can't graps the concept of them missing from my purchased list. All my tv shows and my music and music videos turn up but I have seen before that some movies purchased from itunes go missing from my library but turn up if I redownload them from the Itunes store....
Any suggestions on how to fix this or is it a glitch.

Purchases in the cloud work pretty well, but items are not always guaranteed to be available there forever.
I bought a couple of iTunes LP albums a few years ago - one of those is no longer available.
Same goes for movies and TV Shows which if removed from sale in the store can disappear from the cloud.
There were complaint some months ago when Disney removed titles from teh store/cloud though cloud access was restored later.
If you can redownload your items to iTunes I suspect unavailability in the cloud on AppleTV is a glitchand they may turn up as part of a search in the movie section - I would contact iTunes Store support.

I purchased movies through Apple TV at home. I then signed in to my itunes account on my ipad and the movies show up but they are listed as only accessible via icloud. How do I download them to my ipad so that I can view them on an airplane?

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:

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv?

How can I watch purchased movies on apple tv? I recently purchased an apple tv and cannot play the movies I have bought on my itunes account?
Can anyone help?

You can also got to movies and select purchased and if it comes up cannot connect to server go to settings and scroll down to restart and it should work. That's what I did and it showed my purchased movies and I don't have my Apple TV paired with a computer. Just using iCloud. But you also can pair your computer but its not necessary to watch purchased movies you have bought through iTunes. Hope this helps.

I've purchased two movie rentals on itunes, but couldn't download them into my Mac because I have no disk room available, can itunes refund my rental fee?

So what is meant here is spend more money - wrong answer.
For that reason most people prefer to buy movies on DVD. They are easily shared, foolproof, and super easy to use. I love Apple TV and iTunes for music and TV shows, but I would never purchase a movie that was not on an optical disc.
When I head out-of-town I can grab a couple of DVDs to watch on my new MacBook Pro during the flight. Easy and uncomplicated.
DVDs offer another advantage. You can watch your movie without depending upon a complicated and delicate infrastructure. Also, movies are frequently censored for political correctness (Star Wars is a recent example). Despite public pressure for a release, the Disney movie “Song of the South” remains banned. Even cartoons like Johnny Quest are now censored. Only people who purchased physical copies years ago have them as they were originally produced.
When you possess a physical copy of the movie the PC patrol can't mess with it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
