Rent/Purchase Movie on Desktop move to laptop?

I know I can move purchased music from my desktop to my authorized laptop, but what about movies? I'd like to manage all of my media on my desktop, but use my laptop to view a rented or purchased movie from iTunes. Is this possible?

Purchased movies can be moved in the same way as songs. This can also be done with rented movies, but they can only be played from one location at a time, and once the rental is over, none of your copies of it will be playable.

Can I use Photoshop which I purchased for my desktop on my laptop since desktop recently crashed?

Hello. I have PS CS3 on my iMac which just crashed. The computer is old and I am deciding whether to fix it or replace it. In the meantime, I need to use Photoshop. Luckily, I have backed up PS and Lightroom to my external hard drive. My registration is for 1 computer only, but because that computer is not working, is it possible to use my backed up PS and Lightroom on my laptop in the interim? And what about when I get a new desktop? Thank you.

You can install on up to 2 machines at any one time. Even if you have a Mac and Windows, that's the great advantage of CC!

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

Just to be sure: you do mean the ancient, obsolete, well-over-a-decade-old Photoshop 6.x, correct?
If so, make sure that relic runs in a new laptop running a modern OS.

Downloaded 2 movies on iPad, 1 on desktop to watch during air trip, but unable to move desktop movie to iPad; not enough iPad memory for 3 movies. After 1 movie is watched & deleted will I be able to download already rented 3rd movie without paying fee again?

1. No
2. You can only transfer a rental to an Apple TV 1, which Apple TV do you have.

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

Normally I'd offer this advice...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
iTunes update or Windows Update? Are you logged into a temporary profile?
Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT4557 I have my main computer (desktop) and my laptop and my Iphone all set up under the same itunes account. I cannot figure out how to get music that I purchased on my iphone to my desktop or laptop! I have homesharing on! It's very frustrating!

I have home share turned on and have a desktop for the main acct and a laptop and an I-phone. I purchased music on my Iphone and can't figure out how to get it onto move the desktop or laptop. It's very frustrating because I don't understand some of the I-tunes terminology and I have read through it all and did what sounds right but still no success!! Grrrrr.....I feel like I need someone to walk me through it!

Open itunes, connect iphone, click File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.

Can't download previously purchased tv shows or movies, they dont appear on my MBA in itunes but do appear on my ipod 5

i recently purchased a new ipod 5 (ios 7), i have a 2013 MBA, i am running the latest itunes on both devices.
i am not able to see a list of my previously purchased tv shows or movies in itunes on my MBA but can see the list on my new ipod.
they dont appear as "previously purchased" any resolution to this issue

The iTunes Store went DRM free for music back in 2009 but the other content such as movies, TV shows, audiobooks and iBooks still contain it as required by the rights holders. This limits you to playing the content on a computer or device with the necessary software to decode the DRM. It should be possible to connect your large display to your laptop's audio and video outputs if you want to make use of the larger display, or you could purchase an Apple TV unit.
Here is one of the support articles on this topic iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos. I imagine there are references to the same or similar in the terms and conditions that most of us skip over when installing the software.

Can't rent or buy Rated R movies

I can't seem to rent or purchase any rated R movies on iTunes. Every time I click on a rated R movie, the buttons seem to be washed out, while all the non-rated R movies, such as PG-13 etc are clickable. I am just curious as to how I was able to set something like this up. Is there a censorship button within iTunes preferences? Any suggestions?

Answered my own question. There is... =) just have to go to preferences and restrict accordingly. Thanks self. =)

Desktop moves all over

I just got on my mac mini in order to look something up, and the entire desktop moves around with the mouse. Yikes! The desktop is on some setting where it seems to be a close-up version, and it moves with the mouse. I have to move around on the desktop to access my control panel at the top of the screen or down to access my dock. Everything is large; the print, the icons, everything. It's terrible to work with like this.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about and how to "undo" whatever made it this way? I haven't been using my mac mini as much since I got my laptop, but my kids use it for their school projects. (They swear they didn't do anything to cause this to happen.) It is not like this on another users's side. It is my work computer, so it needs to be running properly.

Hi my3kidsmom-
I am glad that it worked for you.
Sorry I couldn't remember the key combination off of the top of my head at the time. This may be helpful one day

I rented, then downloaded an iTunes movie and all I got was 92 minutes of white -- no audio, no video. I'm stymied. Any clues out there?

You can try deleting and re-downloading if you completed the full purchase. If you are still having issues, go to http://reportaproblem.apple.com

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
