Purchased movie on iPad cannot be transferred?

Help!
I have an iphone, ipad and imac (I am FRUIT). Most of my stuff is now in the icloud however I haven't yet synced my ipad because it has purchased movies on there from an old Apple ID (pre-marriage email change). How can I get these movies from the ipad to my imac - or into the cloud? When I go into the account on iTunes it tells me that the movies are there - but I cannot find out how to access them?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks

HT5085 Cannot watch purchased movies on iPad

For my country, iTunes iCloud doesn't support movies. Currently, I'm not able to watch my purchased movies on iPad (suddenly something went wrong and they're visible, but unavailable...). How can I have my them back? Thanks

Greetings Shamshin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to watch previously purchased movie on your iPad without being connected to a Wi-Fi network. In this situation, I would suggest reading over the attached article that explains how to download your movies from the cloud so that they are on your iPad locally and will not require Wi-Fi. If these are the steps your are already going through and you are still required to be connected to a Wi-Fi network, please let me know.

Can you watch a rented/purchased movie on iPad 2 when NOT connected to wi-fi(airplane)

Can you watch a rented/purchase movie on iPad 2 when NOT connected to wi-fi (airplane mode)

Some people have posted that they've needed to be online when starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you still have internet connection - after starting to watch a rental you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, before it expires

Cannot sync iTunes purchased movies to iPad 4/Apple TV

I'm getting sick and tired of iTunes issues that have been reported time and time again, but don't seem to get resolved.
Issue: I buy a film in either HD or SD from iTunes. I then try to sync said film to my iPad and I get the error that it cannot be sync'd as my iPad cannot play the movie. However, if I download the same purchase directly to the iPad, it plays without any issue whatsoever. This is also the case for my Apple TV (1st Gen).
Technical: iTunes version: 11.0.5, Mac: MacBook Pro (late 2008) with 8GB RAM running OSX 10.8.4, iTunes Library running on TimeCapsule (currently 680GB in size). iTunes manages locations and files.
S.I.V. (Sphincter Irritation Value): 9.6 (out of 10) - this issue costs me a fortune in lost monthly download allowance as I frequently end up downloading the same thing twice.

I belive the Apple TV (both current version and previous version) only have 8GB of cache, so this is less than what most people would have in even the basic iPad model (16GB). But the Apple TV is designed for streaming from another source (iTunes server for rented movies, your Mac over iTunes sharing, Netflix server, etc.) The iPad is designed for WiFi streaming but due to agreements with the cellular carriers, they don't want to host all of that bandwith for streaming movies over their data networks. At least, not at this time. Perhaps that will change with 4G? Even so, that level of data use will probably be expensive. It would be more economical to buy an iPad with more RAM next time (or trade up -- I sold my old iPad on Amazon for almost what I paid for it and got the model with more RAM).

HT203180 Cannot sync purchased movies to iPad

Since upgrading to the new OS this morning, I have been unable to load iTunes Store purchased movies to my iPad. In fact, after I loaded the new system, I lost all of the movies on my iPad. It did allow the movies that I've ripped from my collection into iTunes to stay on the iPad. Any suggestions?

Are the movies still in iTunes on the Mac - if they are sync them again. Make sure that they are selected to sync and that the sync movies heading is selected as well.
If the movies are in iTunes and you already tried to sync them with no success - Are you using the same Apple ID on the iPad that you are using in iTunes on the Mac and would that be the ID that you bought the movies with?
If you live in the U.S., many movies can now be downloaded again from iTunes at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the movies. You can download them again in the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad - tap on the View Movies Button in the upper left corner and your purchased movies will appear. Tap on the cloud icon to download them again.
You can also download them again in iTunes on the Mac and sync them back to the iPad.

Unable to transfer purchased movie to iPad

I recently purchased "Twilight (2008)" and tried to transfer it to my iPad. I got an error message that said that it was unable to do so because it is not authorized to be played on my computer. However it plays fine on my computer and it sync'ed fine w/ my AppleTV. It is HD/SD and has iTunes extra. I tried setting the iPad preferences to "prefer SD version" and not include iTunes extras when syncing w/o luck. I contacted iTunes support and they told me to repurchase and try again so I deleted the original purchase and purchased it again w/o any luck. This is the only movie where this is happening. Other movies have sync'ed fine and purchases since this one have also sync'ed fine. Support told me that I would have to contact Tech Support which would charge me for support which totally bites because this is clearly a problem on their part. Any ideas from y'all?
By the way, I'm using latest verion of Lion on a new Mac Mini w/ latest iTunes update. iPad is iPad 1 w/ latest updates.

*** FIXED ***
Just to update. After posting the previous message, I was unable to sync any purchased Movies or TV Shows after Nov 15th to my iPad or iPhone. When I tried to sync, it kept saying that those purchases were not transfered because they were not authorized for my computer (on which I purchased them). All movies and TV shows purchased prior to Nov 15th would still sync fine. Music and music videos have had no problems regardless of purchase date.
I suspected that there was something going on w/ iClouds because it was about the time that iClouds was rolled out that things stopped working for me. I have two apple ID's. One is for all my iTunes purchases which I've had forever and the other was more recently set up (couple years) for MobileMe. I'm not sure if iTunes was confused because of this or not. Things seemed to go wrong about the same time I made the switch over the iCloud using my MobileMe account. Even though I purchased everything only using the first Apple ID maybe it somehow thought I was trying to sync using the second which had no authorized purchases.
At anyrate, I just got off the phone w/ tech support who figured it out for me. There is a folder on your main HD under "Users/Shared" called "SC Info". It is apparently contains configuration data for iTunes. If you delete that by putting it in the trash then restarting the computer, it should solve this issue. So the path to that folder is main_HD --> Users --> Shared --> SC Info. After deleting this folder and rebooting, you will need to re-authorize your computer in iTunes then re-sync your devices and everything should transfer OK.
Hope this helps for anyone else who may be having similar issues.

Playing purchased movies from iPad that had been synced to my computer

Downloaded purchased movie from itunes to my computer and then synced it to my IPad. I tried playing the movie from my iPad to my apple tv and it says this device is not authorized to play content. Also tried from iPod but no luck! I can watch the movie on my iPad but I can't AirPlay it! Any suggestions,

Like you I am having the same problem. I am at a loss, seems despite the fact I have purchased the content and am only using the TV as a display I don't understand the authorization question. I hope someone has an answer.

Rented, then purchased, movie on iPad

I rented a movie and my iPad and then later purchased it, but it is still showing in "Rental" rather than "Movies". How do I move it?

Transfer purchased movies from iPad to computer

When I purchase a film from iTunes Store on my MacPro I can drag and drop transfer it to my iPad in iTunes - no problem.
BUT if I make the purchase on my iPad I can't seem to be able to transfer the film to my MacPro.
Am I missing something easy or what?
Any help much appreciated.

Are you using Transfer Purchases? Connect the iPad to the MBP, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases.
Are you using the same Apple ID on the iPad as you are using on the Mac?

Downloaded rental movie from iTunes cannot be transfered to new iPad

I have the new iPad. I downloaded a rental movie (Sherlock2). Tried to move it from iTunes on my mac to my new ipad, but says it can't be played on this iPad? According the specs it should be possible and the movie isn't even HD. Anyone?

Never mind. 15 minutes of research revealed that we own a 5th generation iPod, which evidently is not compatible with rentals. I am quite annoyed. Thanks Apple, for not making this clear at all in your FAQ. There should be a much more definitive description for compatibility in the FAQ, as I don't know anyone who is aware of which specific 'generation' of iPod they own. I had to go through the huge list of past and present models on the support site before figuring this out.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a refund if we have not yet attempted to play the movie on our Windows machine that we rented the movie with?

Cannot purchase movies on iPad

I can see and purchase music, but for some reason the download/buy button is permanently disabled.
Anyone have any ideas?

You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here, and we would have no idea what may be wrong. Go here:

Recovering Purchased Movies for iPad 2

I purchased the movie "Barney's Version" and downloaded it onto my iPad 2 successfully. Subsequently my iPod had to be replaced and I cannot find the movie to download on my new iPad 2? Regards, Will

Depending upon your location - Apps, music, books and TV shows can be downloaded again for free if you are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account that you used to make the original purchases. Movies cannot be downloaded again. You will have to purchase the movie again.

Stream itunes purchased movies to ipad

I want to stream movies purchased in itunes to my ipad rather than download them. I don't have enough memory to store all these movies and shows. Apple tv can do it why can't my ipad? I hope there is a setting I am overlooking to turn of movie and tv show storage and if there is not then there should be.
Anyone?
