Purchased video from itunes won't transfer to ipod

I bought a tv show on itunes on my old computer (along with some music videos) and transfered all of those plus all of my music to a new computer. The music videos and music updated back onto my ipod, but the tv show did not. Since then, I've been having trouble updating any video that fits the requirements for my ipod. I am able to add it to itunes, but it will not update. I know there's something wrong with either itunes or my ipod (I have updated the software on both) because my cousin was able to add a certain movie to his ipod, but mine won't update it. Does anyone know what's going on?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Then hit the video tab. Make sure automatically update all videos is selected.
If it is, then click update no videos at the bottom and hit okay. Eject the iPod. Then connect it back up and reenable the option.
Merry Christmas

My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. does not happen with any other streaming video service.

my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. This does not happen with any other streaming video service. I have restarted and rebooted already.

I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

Purchased videos from itunes store download/upload issues

I purchased movie from itunes store downloaded it onto my itouch works plays is fine --but when I tried to sync or drag the movie onto my windows computer into itunes or sync it with itunes cannot get the + sign only no go. Getting frustrated--I bought this movie actually for my wife and then cannot get it onto her itouch since it will not transfer into itunes for me to get it moved/transferred onto her itouch. Both itouch's are authorized on this computer. I am confused--why buy the video if you cannot work with it on your devices? Please help!

Did you check your trash can? Did you make a backup copy of your videos that you purchased? That is something that is always reminded to users that purchase from the itunes store...to make a backup copy to their purchased music. The idea is once you buy the music and you lose it well then its gone forever. I highly doubt you can get what you purchased from the itunes music store back again without purchasing them again. But that is weird that you had the videos and and their gone now. Have you tried searching for them on your computer harddrive? Did you do a recent hard reset to your ipod? Are you manually updating your ipod and deciding what to sync and not?

Purchased songs from Itunes STILL not playing on ipod mini

I read all the posts about this issue, of purchased Itunes songs not playing on ipod. I deauthorized the computer and all computers associated with the account. then re authorized them. I reset the ipod several times, and also restored the ipod. I reinstalled the itunes software. I changed the sync to manual. removed one of the purchased songs. reauthorized the computer, then manually added the song back. I renamed the song. I even tried with downloading the free song. Any other suggestions. It made me look bad when after all of this I still could not fix the users issue. Other than declaring it a HARDWARE issue, I thought there could be a registry setting with the authorizing that did not happen properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue , and NOT been able to fix it. It would really appreciate any advice. My only conclusion was hardware, and the user states they had already spoke with apple who declined to help.

It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

Purchased app from iPhone won't transfer to iTunes

I purchased an app on my iPhone and now every time I sync, it starts off with:
Transferring purchases from "iPhone", Copying (app)
The progress bar get about 10% and then it moves on to the next task such as installing new apps or syncing contacts. It does this EVERY TIME. I go to File->Transfer Purchases and it says the same thing above, hits 10%, and stops. I never get an error message. The app doesn't show up on my "Applications" in the library nor does it show on the "Applications" tab for manual syncing. I can't re-download the app via iTunes because iTunes doesn't realized I purchased it and wants to charge me again.
My phone is not Jailbroken and I'm running 2.0.2, although I have been getting many 0xE800002E errors lately and have had to sync apps manually for a while and I'm afraid of losing my purchased app should I ever have to do a wipe and restore.

My wife just received an email from Apple Tech Support. Please see excerpt below:
+"Because you have already purchased "Texas Hold'em", you may download it+
+again at no charge, either from your device or using iTunes on your+
computer.
+Be sure that you are signed in to the same iTunes Store account that you+
+used to purchase the application originally, and follow the steps to+
+purchase it again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the+
+item and can download it again for free."+
So... she went to download it again from iTunes. At first it didn't recognize that she had already purchased it, but by the confirmation stage it did state that she already purchased it and gave the option to download again at not charge. She went ahead and did this for Texas Hold Em and several other apps that she purchased originally from her phone. All is now in sync on both her iTunes and iPhone.
I'm assuming this is a bug that will probably get corrected in a future release.

Previously purchased videos from iTunes now no longer play in iTunes 7.0

Just upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and was ded impressed with the new look etc... right until I thort i'd have a peek at some music vids. From a collection of 20 or so I now only have 5 left. The rest are in the music library with their little video icon but won't play properly. It looks like the video codec is wrong but since they are virtually all iTunes purchased videos this seems a huge oversight on their part! When played i just get a flashing green and yellow screen instead of the video. Can any one help?
Thanks in advance
Jack

I have a similar problem. Music videos will play, but with a framerate of about 1fps. Manually recorded clips that are in my library in order to watch them on my iPod have the same problem. Same for video-podcasts. However, I have not lost any. Also they all still play well on the iPod.
To sum it up: Within iTunes 7 i cannot watch any videos that worked in iTunes 6.

Transfering purchased video from itunes to ipod classic

I purchased a show from itunes and tried transfering it to my ipod classic, but it keeps saying it cannot be played on my ipod. I was able to transfer and watch other videos on my ipod just fine so I am not sure why it is saying this. I downloaded both the HD and SD versions of the video because it was stated on a different discussion that ipod classics might only take the SD format, but I still can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

All she has to do is connect the new iPod to her computer and sync her music to it.

Iphone 4s will not sync purchased videos from itunes

Unbeknownst to me, my iPhone deleted a purchased TV show (from iTunes) from the device (I don't know how it happened). I went to sync it on iTunes and it would not put the videos back on the device. I have tried this several times and even wiped the iPhone and started it fresh (not from a back up) and it still won't work. Help please!

Songs Purchased from iTunes Won't Play on iPod

I purchased some songs from iTunes. They play perfectly fine on my computer through iTunes. However, when I disconnect my iPod from my computer and try to listen to those songs with my headphones or in my car through my iTrip, my iPod just skips over those songs and goes to the next song in the shuffle. Or when I try to play the whole album, it'll show 1, then 2, then 3, and so on...it skips through the whole album then ends up at the main screen without playing a single song. I've tried deauthorizing/reauthorizing my computer, I've restored my iPod many times, I've cleared my library and restored it with my backup files, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I tried using an old updater to get the previous iPod software, but that doesn't play vidoes, and I've done all of the above on three different USB ports.
I've called Tech Support many times and they keep telling me the same thing and nothing works.
So, I finally made my way into traffic-congested Tysons Corner to the nearest Apple Store and all the guy could tell me was that the file was corrupted and to re-download my purchases. So, I go back home, get on iTunes, search for my purchases and I'm told that my purchases can only be downloaded once.
OMG! Someone help! Is there anyone out there having the same problem!??!?!

Enable the iPod for disk use. See How to enable disk use.
Go to "my computer" and from the tools menu/folder options/view tab, enable "show hidden files and folders" in the advanced settings pane. Open the iPod in "my computer". Look for a file called "iEKinfo". Is it there? If so, make a copy of this file and save it somewhere easy to find (the desktop for instance). Do this also with the "iTunes DB" file. Don't worry if you can't see these files.
Create a new administrator account. Log out of the current account and log in to the new one. Then restore the iPod to factory settings.
Open iTunes, connect the iPod and set the transfer preferences to manual transfer. Then download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store. Verify that song plays in iTunes.
Now, drag this song only to the iPod, and eject the iPod from iTunes and disconnect it from the computer.
Does the song play on the iPod ok? If so, log out of the new user account and log back in to your normal one (the one you have issues with) and reconnect the iPod to the computer. Keep manual transfer selected for the moment. Drag some of the older purchased music (the ones that wouldn't play before) to the iPod.
Eject the iPod and disconnect it. Do those songs now play ok?
If not, first try this step.
Delete the SC Info.sidb file. Open iTunes again.
Now transfer some of the affected music to the iPod again. Does it play ok?

Put purchased videos from iTunes on to a DVD with iDVD?

So I bought some Kim Possible episodes from iTunes and I am trying to put them on a DVD. I can't figure out how, because for one thing, even if I try to put the video in iMovie first, the video cant even be used...so any ideas from anyone? And I can't figure out how to play with the movies in iDVD either, but I have played around with music and photos though...

while getting an account in iTMS, you signed the terms of use...
iTMS purchased videos are for watching only, no processing, no editing, no sharing to any other media (dvd, tape, ...)
you have two options, to override that:
* using a "screen recorder" as SnapzPro
* connect a camcorder to your Mac's monitor outlet, re-import from tape...

Purchased video from itunes online store will play in itunes but not ipod

It seems like this issue comes up for a lot of people. When I try to play the tv show I purchased from the itunes store on my 30gb ipod I get a grey screen, then it goes back to the menu. I've tried all the usual fixes- resetting, restoring, getting all the latest updates, etc. My video settings have "TV out" turned off as well, but that didn't help. Isn't there something else I can try? Does anyone know what the problem might be?
I also can't choose to convert the file for ipod. This solution has been offered, but seems pointless, since I got it from the itunes store. I would love to have a solution to this problem, before I vomit and crash into the floor.

I got my problem solved via the apple helpline, although it took a total of about five hours on the phone. First, I had to move up the echelons of representatives until I was actually talking to someone in America. It takes a long time for them to take you through all the trouble shooting steps and you have to explain several times that you've already tried everything.
The solution they found for me was lengthy and confusing, and I wouldn't try describing it in detail to someone else. It involved doing stuff on my computer: I had to put my video files into my "shared folder," create a new user on windows, log in under that user, plug in my ipod, and import the videos, which then worked. I don't know why or how it fixed the problem, but it's definately fixed. Before I did that stuff, they also had me restore my ipod. I would recommend calling the apple helpline, telling them you've tried all the usual fixes, and politely asking them to "elevate" your call, which means you are talking to the cream of the cream as far as representatives go. They should be able to help.
The representative told me that this problem is rare but more prolific on windows machines. So if you have windows and you're havings these problems, chances are your problem is similar to mine.

Purchased video from iTunes and doesn't play

I downloaded it from iTunes. Then when it showed up it had a cloud next to it. I clicked and it went to download again, so I stopped it. I went to videos and it and it was the so i started playing it and stopped it figured i was good to go. Went on a trip 2 days later on the plane with no wi if and went to watch it and nothing. What a disappointment , as the reason I got this was to watch movies without being connected.
I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure the movie downloaded completely? If you buy a video on iTunes you so not need WiFi as long as you have allowed it to fully download. That cloud you saw was telling you that it was avaliable on iCloud if you accidently delete it off your iPad. Try going to the Purchaces tab in iTunes and re-downloading it, ensuring that it downloads completely.
If you still have troubles after downloading it again, try accessing iTunes on your computer and downloading your movie there (iTunes won't charge you twice if you've bought it). After it's downloaded to your computer, sync your iPad and try it again.
Hope this helps!
