Purchased movies not showing in iTunes for Mac

I'm using the same apple ID on several devices, and am able to access all purchased movies on my Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. When using iTunes on my Mac, only 25 of the 50 purchased movies viewable elsewhere are accessible. I've tried accessing the missing items through the iTunes store, hoping that they'd be available for download, but am only given the option to purchase them again. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to remedy it? I've already tried deauthorizing/reauthorizing, and logging in and out. It has been happening for a while, so I don't think that it is something that was caused by a recent software update.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

I feel dumb. Solved it for myself. In case anyone else has this issue, instead of looking at purchased items from within your library, go to the iTunes store home page, and select purchased from the menu on the right. Then there will be a tab for "not in my library." This is where your purchased items that haven't been downloaded to your computer reside.

TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

Mike:
Just had the very same problem. iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1). I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere. Didn't work. What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes. Once it restarted it was there and synching. I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
Try this. May work for you as well.

Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?

Had the same issue. Tried everything that was posted for troubleshooting bye apple and on the discussions.
Finally, tried something that solved it and it works flawlessly now. I changed my wireless router.
I was using my ISP's supplied ZyXEL PN660 ADLS2+ with Wireless N. Swtiched to an older Linksys WRT160N and it is working beautifully now.
Take a look at your router, make sure the firmware is up to date, and that UPnP is enabled, and if all is correct, and you have done everything else, try another Wireless router if you can.

Iphone 6 plus not detected in itunes for mac

When I try to plug in my iPhone 6plus, it is not detected on iTunes for mac. All the software is up to date (iOS 8.3 for iPhone and iTunes 12.1.2 versions).I have tried several USB ports, but no luck. Under FILE/DEVICES, everything is in grey which means that I cannot do anything from there. I have tried to uninstall itunes twice, restarted the computer and iphone and NOThing is working

Can you confirm your lightening cord is functioning? If you plug the cord into a wall outlet, does the phone charge?

What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows if iTunes removed them from the store?

I'm honestly sorry to bother you. I tried to google this and cloudn't find a good answer.
What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows (that I haven't downloaded on my devices) if iTunes removed them from the store? Will I still be able to watch/download them from iCloud?
I'm trying to buy all my favourite movies and TV shows without downloading them, to keep them in iCloud that I can access from all my devices whenever I want, but I'm scared that iTunes will remove them from my iCloud if something happens to the contract between them and the production company. Should I worry about that?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.
Best,
Faisal

Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
But the thing is, I don't want to download ANYTHING because I don't have storage. That's why I want to buy them and watch them through iCloud (on my Mac iTunes) without downloading.
I know that it's safer to download them. But does "safer" mean that iTunes might not let me access my purchases through iCloud?

Cannot change Media Kind when importing audiobooks and TV shows into iTunes for Mac

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro - my first Apple computer.
I have used PC's with iTunes for many years, and have a large collection of music (from CD's), audiobooks (from CD's), TV shows (from multiple sources), and movies (from DVD's) on external an hard drives. I have never had trouble moving these to/from my various iDevices: an iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad 2.
I plugged the external drive into my new MacBook Pro, and added the folders to my iTunes for Mac library. As always happened in the past, the video files were always characterized as "Movies", and audio files as "Music". However, in iTunes for Mac, i do not seem to have the ability to change the Media Kind .... I can see the field, but it is "greyed out" and i am not allowed to change it.
Can anyone help advise me on how I can change these Media Kinds? Thank you!

No one answered my question, but I solved it, and thought I'd explain how if others have the same problem .... I had the wrong kind of hard drive for a Mac. It was formatted NTFS, which the Mac could read but not write to .... therefore, iTunes wouldn't let me change anything. I needed a better external hard drive anyways, so I got a new one, formatted it to the Mac format, and then just dragged everything to the new hard drive. After that, iTunes worked perfect.

Iphone 4S iTunes music purchase not showing in iTunes on Mac

I purchased a song on my iPhone 4S using the same iTunes account that I use on my MacPro running Lion and the latest version of iTunes.
The purchased song shows up on my Mac iTunes under "purchased", but it does not show up in Music when I search for the song.
I did confirm that the song did download to my Mac from the iTunes store automatically. I am an iCloud subscriber and all of my devices have been synched with iCloud.
Why doesn't it show up in my regular music catalog on my Mac? Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Bud

Hello Pearljamluvr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you have transferred your iTunes library to a new computer, and are wondering how to get that content imported into iTunes. To accomplish this, please see the information and the article outlined below.
Part 4 (optional): Add back new content
Copy the iTunes Media folder you created in Part 2 into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder inside the iTunes Media folder you copied in Part 3. iTunes will automatically import the content.

My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV. Can someone please help me with a solution? Thanks.

First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes. I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook.
Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from. But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad). It does not show up on my Apple TV as well. If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me. I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad. I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this? Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Purchased movie not showing up under movies

I just purchased the movie 'White Christmas' from the iTunes store and downloaded it to my Mac. I am running the most recent version of iTunes 11 on my system, and have a number of movies in my library with no other problems that I am aware of. The movie shows as downloaded, and in my 'Recently Purchased' playlist, shows up and is playable from that list. However, the movie does not show up in my movies list, nor does it show up in a Spotlight search of the library.
I have terminated iTunes and restarted, Added the movie to the library manually from its file location in Finder, have rebooted the system, all to no avail. Any body else out there run into similar problems, and if so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks,
Ed

Hello charliemccarley
If you are not seeing your purchased content on your Apple TV, then the first thing I would check is to make sure that you are signed under the Apple ID that made the purchase. If it is and is a purchase that you can download again, then report it to the iTunes Store.
Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store

Purchasing movies/tv shows in itunes (Canada)

How do I purchase movies or tv shows in the Canadian itunes store? I don't see anything available except for the Pixar movies. Is this possible??

Sorry, but as has been said here many times already, the movie studios have not licensed Apple to sell movies outside of the US. There's nothing Apple can do unless and until they're granted the rights. When, or indeed if, this will happen, no one can say, though Apple has said that they hope to be able to offer movies internationally sometime in 2007.
As to TV shows, there have been no indications if, much less when, the show owners will ever license Apple to sell them in Canada.
Again, sorry, but we'll all just have to wait and see.

Purchased movies not shown in itunes (but on Apple TV and iPhone 6)

Hello,
I bought some movies on apple tv and they are shown correctly on iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2) and Apple TV 3.
But I can't see them (the movies library is shown empty) in iTunes 12 on my MacBook Air (mid 2012, Yosemite 10.10.1).
My music is shown correctly with iTunes match so i don't think it's a problem with iCloud.
Any ideas what i can do to see my purchased movies in iTunes?
Thank you a lot and happy new year!!
Peter

I've had this issue a couple of times on my Apple TV (3rd gen). I managed to get the newly matched content to show up a couple of times by editing the metadata for the album and then changing it back to the original (i.e. I changed the album title to add an 'X' to the end of it, then changed it back to the original) and it somehow triggered the iTunes Match on the Apple TV to update itself. I haven't really found a way to force Match on the Apple TV to update itself if it's being stubborn. Best of luck getting this sorted.

HT201272 Purchased items not showing in iTunes on iPad

Anyone having problems seeing their previous purchases in iOS 6? I just tried to download some previously purchased music to my iPad (new iPad/3), and when I click on the purchased tab, it is blank. I did not encounter any issues with adding previously purchased music and tv shows to my iPad while using iOS 5.

Since I upgraded to the last iTunes Version (10.7(21) and iOS Version (6.0(10A403) I am experiencing issues with my iPhone 4S and iTunes.
First of I discoverd / ran into the issues of the App Store after install iOS 6 on my iPhone:
When opening the App Store (App) on my iPhone, in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen and selecting the Genius function, the results try and load for about 7 seconds and finally the App Store just Crashes and I have to restart this process again, but results in the same error. This is a continuous process.
When opening the App Store (App) on my iPhone, in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen and selecting the Updates function, then selecting (Previous) Purchases; my iPhone states: ✳ Loading... and this goes on and on and... and finally after about 10 minutes I receive the message: Connetion to iTunes Store Failed. In other words my iPhone can never recall or access my previously bought Apps from the iTunes Store. The only way to access them is to Search or Find them directly in the App Store but you then need to know the name of the App you want.
I have contacted Apple Support and together we have tried several things but nothing seemd to work for me. We also tried to access the App Store and purchases menu directly from the iTunes store running on my iMac and found that it acted in a failry simular manner, only running on my iMac after about 15 minutes I finally got results. It seems like it just needs time to access / find / locate all my previously bought apps. The bug (to me) seemd to be the iTunes Store account and not the iPhone itself. I could test this myself because I have 2 itunes accounts at my disposal. Once I tried my second account (both on my iMac and on my iPhone, I didn't encounter any problem whatsoever. The first (major) account;
I have bought - downloaded approximately over 250 songs
I have bought - downloaded approximately over 3600 apps
The second account (US iTunes Store)
I have bought - 10 apps
I am now wondering if Apple is having trouble accessing a large amount of information to display in iTunes store on my account or are they just having trouble with a faulty / bugy engine.
To further test my hunches; I accessed four other iTunes Accounts of friends and family both on my iMac and iPhone iTunes Stores and all four had as little as 300 Apps that had been bought in Apple's iTunes Stores. Our findings were that it didn't matter how many purchases are on your account because 2 of the tested accounts had the same issue and the other 2 accounts were working just fine.
We also tested to see if it would make a difference if we accessed the stores either from a mobile network (being 3G connection) and Wifi network connection, but this made no difference whatsoever.
I guess this means back to the drawing board.
I am wondering if other people have tested this and or are having the same or simular issues...
Would be great to get some feedback on this.
Many thanks in advance.
Best Reagds,
Carl.

HT1977 Purchased audiobooks not showing in itunes account

I have recently purchased 5 audiobooks in iTunes on my work laptop and they are not showing up on my iPhone nor my iPad. I'm logged in to my iTunes account on my laptop so, I would assume what I purchase within my account, should show up in my account so I dont have to purchase the same items twice.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? And living outside of the US shouldnt be reason why it doesnt allow me to sync through my account - there should be no reason why anything shouldnt work the same no matter where one lives on God's green earth!

Start by choosing Store> Check For Available Downloads in iTunes. It should see the audiobooks, which should appear in the Books dropdown menu. If that works, you should then connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer. Open the device, and click on "Books". Then select "Sync Audiobooks". If this completes. and the audiobooks sync to your device, they should then be in the Music app, under More (...) > Audiobooks.
You may need to either close and re-open the Music app, or possibly restart your iPhone or iPad to get them to show up.
Do you have iTunes Match, by chance?
