Purchased movies unavailable

I have two movies I've purchased which I have downloaded to iTunes on my Macbook.
I can watch them in iTunes on the Macbook without problem, but they aren't visible on either of my Apple TVs, nor my iPhone, yet I have watched them on my iPhone before.
Both films appear to have vanished from the iTunes Store, however, when googling one of the titles (The Enduro at Erzberg : The Polish Hat Trick) brings it up on the US iTunes store only. I have never used the US store, only the UK store, and my email receipt shows that I purchased it on 28/06/13 for £5.99.
So while I have purchased this film via Apple's UK iTunes store, I'm not able to view it on my Apple devices, other than a Macbook which just happened to have had it downloaded to?  Incidentally, both titles were from the same production company, which suggests they may have been pulled from the iTunes store, but why should that impact my ability to watch them considering I bought them over a year ago?
Anyone got any tips for how I can watch this via my Apple TV or on my other iOS devices?

I've found another: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/what-is/id517196593 What Is by Wiley Watson, was purchased 08/09/13 for £6.99.  Again, shows in the US store, but this one has been purchased and not downloaded to THIS Macbook, it was downloaded, however, to my old iPhone 4S when I had it.  Anyone got any idea how to get this film or why it's no longer available in the UK?

    You apparently got onto a US mailling list and were inapplicably sent a promotion only valid in the US. And pricing is set primarily by the movie distributors in Australia, with many other factors also involved. In any case, this isn't the place to discuss international pricing issues.
    There's nothing any of us here, your fellow users, can do about this. If you want to complain to Apple, use their feedback page:

  • HT3702 I am able to purchase music, but I cannot purchase movies, credit card processing unavailable.  On computer and Apple TV.

    Tried to purchase movies on computer and apple tv, same issue.

    The security code is the 3 or 4 digit code outside of the actual card number (and NOT the same as your PIN). It is usually located on the front of AMEX cards and on the back of Visa and MC. You typically wouldn't need that for purchases in a physical store. Log into your AppleID, modify the payment method  and set it with the proper code.

  • Why can't I play purchased movies on my Apple TV? And why does iTunes match not work on my Apple TV?

    I have an Apple TV (early 2012) and bought some movies in the iTunes store. Now, Apple TV doesn't let me watch my purchased content. I very well can listen to music I have bought in the iTunes store and watch the purchased movies on my iphone 6 (running the latest iOS 8) and on my MacBook Air (running the latest version of Yosemite). I can also rent movies on Apple TV and watch them - no problem at all.
    The other problem I have is that I activated iTunes Match on my Apple TV. But it doesn't work either. On my Mac and on my iphone - there's no problem. On Apple TV instead there is always appearing the message, that it will take a couple of minutes to setup iTunes Match  on Apple TV. Well... that is too nice to be true! It takes hours and even after that it doesn't work at all.
    I checked the forums and tried different things:
    1. Updating my Apple TV's software to the latest release
    2. Restoring all settings of my Apple TV and taking it offline (meaning: logging out of iTunes on Apple TV and taking it off power)
    3. Restarting my modem and router after half a minute break and taking it off power.
    4. Setting up Apple TV again and reconnecting it with iTunes and my WLAN-router.
    5. I also wanted to Airplay the screen of my MAC or iphone to Apple TV -> doesn't work (even though I can watch the movies on this two devices without any problems). Other content can be airplayed to Apple TV without any problems as well.
    -> Nothing seems to work!
    When I tried to play the moves the following to messages appear:
    1. iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. (But Apple TV recognizes how much of the movie has been watched already. It indicates that it is connecting and authorizing... and after that the message above appears). OR
    2. Apple TV says that the movie will be ready to be watched in two hours from now... or that you have to chose a lower resolution, if you want to watch it any sooner.
    Does anyone face the same difficulties? And of course: Does anyone know any cure and salvation for my Apple TV? ;-)
    Thanks so much for your assistance!

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • Purchased movie on iTunes disappeared from library and iTunes Store.

    I bought the movie Ice Princess about 5 years ago. I just now started to watch it again recently, but oddly it disappeared. I went to check my iTunes purchased movies and it's gone from there too. I went to check the store and it says that it is unavailable in the US, but is available in the Ukraine. Am I eligible to get my money back or a second download?

    No, if the film is no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it, and you can't get a refund. You haven't got a copy of it on your computer's iTunes and/or on your backup of your downloads ? There is no guarantee that any item (including apps etc) will remain in a country's store, so ideally you'd be keeping and maintaining a backup of all of your downloads.
    It's possible that the film studio will allow Apple to put the film back into the US store at some point, in which case you might then be able to redownload it

  • Germany: Can't redownload purchased movies/TV shows from the cloud

    iTunes in the cloud for movies and TV shows launched yesterday in Germany. Everything purchased appears online in the purchased items section of the iTunes Store, but when I want to redownload somehting I get the error "This item is temporarily unavailable."(Mac OS) or "The item you tried to buy is no longer available."(iOS). This happens with all previously purchased movies and TV shows. I checked that they are really available in the iTunes Store, rebooted, deleted the iTunes Store cache, logged out and back in in the iTunes Store and this issue still exists for me (and other people I talked to). Has someboy an idea how to solve this problem?

    After over 24 hours this issue seems now to have been resolved But not exactly the smooth feature rollout you would expect from Apple...

  • 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. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Apple TV (3rd gen)wont play purchased movies

    Having an issue with playing my purchased movies. The issue is that I click play on the movie I want and the gray circle shows like its loading then it reverts back to the play screen again. I have reset it to factory and after 8 minutes or so when it comes up it allows me to play and watch 1 movie. After I stop the movie or try to go into a different movie it no longer works and I have the same issue again. I have checked my firewall and my Avg they are not the issue. I have reset my Internet and the same problem continues. Air play, HBO to go, Netflix all work no issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Same problem -- click play, changes to "loading screen" for a few seconds, then flashes back to the "play" screen. I also can't purchase other movies. The first two times I tried,  the "are you sure purchase buttons" screen, click it and it flashes back to the movie not screen. Just now, I tried again after restarting, It got me to a screen that required my security code for my credit card. After I put it in, it said I'd have to go to iTunes to finish the authorization. The first time I tried through my iTunes account, it said the service wasn't available. The second time, it let me enter the numbers. Now, back to the Apple TV, again, it wants the security code again. Several attempts failed.
    Now, trying to download a free iphone game: iTunes story is temporarily unavailable.
    I'm persistant.
    Added:
    Apple TV is running 6.0.
    Netflix plays fine.
    Music (itunes match) plays fine.

  • 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.

  • Purchased movies won't play on apple TV

    I have several purchased movies that are visible in my iTunes library and on my apple TV.  When I try to play them, I get an error message that says "iTunes is currently unavailable.  Please try again shortly" after the account authorization appears.  My music works just fine and a movie that I rented last night plays fine too.  Anybody else having this issue?  Fixes?  Thanks ahead of time!

    OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV.   When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out.   This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

  • Movie rentals that I downloaded onto iMac with Lion to do not show up on ATV 2 in menu for computers.  Purchased movies show up just fine.  What to do or look for?

    I have an imac that is running lion and an Apple TV generation 2.  I have rented a movie from itunes and it shows up on my imac in Itunes under a rental icon, and will play fine on my computer.  However, it does not show up as choice to play on my apple tv.  I have homesharing enabled and everything else works fine including purchased movies that are on my imac, but no where does it show rental movies. 
    What do I look for?  What do I do to play the rental movie on my apple tv 2?

    Answer to my own question:
    Wait until the downloaded rental has completed its download to the imac.  This took a long time for me, since it was part of several things that I was downloading at the same time.
    Finally, it showed up on my apple tv.   Interestingly, I was able to watch much of the movie on my iMac before the movie finished its download and was available to the ATV 2.

    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.

  • My purchased movies are no longer available to stream on my Apple TV

    I purchased Apple TV (Version 3) about 3-4 weeks ago. For the first few weeks I could access and stream all of my iTunes purchased movies through my Apple TV. This week, out of the blue, when I got to Movies > Purchased I get the message "You have not purchased any movies." I have about 25-30 movies I've purchased through iTunes (mostly by redeeming Blu-Ray digital copies) and was able to stream them without issue until approximately the beginning of this week.
    Does anyone know:
    1. Why this might have happened?
    2. How to get the movies to show up on ATV again?
    My purchased television shows are there and I can use the other ATV features just fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I figured it out. Movies were hidden. Perplexed though as I know I didn't click "hide" on 38 different movies.

  • My purchased movies do not show up in my itunes

    I only see 2 of my 30 purchased movies in my iTunes store, how do I get them to appear. I also do not see my icloud anywhere to check. Thanks

    Whether you can redownload films depends upon what country that you are in, and if you've moved countries since buying them. If you can redownload them then they will show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or you can go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' and they might then show in the Movies part of your library with a cloud icon against them for redownloading. If not all films show then check to see if you've hidden any of them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
    But ideally you'd be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your purchases, any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time
