Transfer purchased movies to another mac?

I want to purchase, not rent a few movies on iTunes, but If i'm getting rid of my current Mac and get a new one, can I transfer those movies to my new computer like I would do with music?

Yes. As with purchased music, you will just need to authorize your computer to play them.

  • My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac

    My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac (I'm replacing current macbook)? Eventually, I will begin using itunes to download / purchase music. Do i need to transfer original library before updating itunes library on the cloud? What's order of operations?

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    You should start "Home Sharing".  You will need to authorise your two computer.  Once Home Sharing is activated, you will see shared iTunes libraries and it will allow you to simply drag'n drop any content.

    Yes, if the iPod is a Fifth Generation iPod, iPod classic, iPod touch, or a third or fourth generation iPod nano, and the movie is in iTunes. A Fifth Generation iPod can't play rented movies.

  • How do you save an in-progress project to move to another Mac?

    Hi...I am working on a movie but need to transfer it to another Mac to finish it up. I am using IMovie 3. Can someone please please help me do this?

    welcome daraely to the  boards...
    the iM project itself, the folder with a star on, contains all data of your project; transfer that folder to other Mac, done.
    iM projects are huge, every 1h import counts 13GB.. probably, an ext. harddrive is simplest solution... or, if both Macs are in same location, connect both Macs with a simple ethernet cable and create for this purpose a LAN; ...

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?

    When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
    Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps? 
    I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
    I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

  • Backup: Restoring Purchased Music to another Mac

    How can I use the "pre-defined" Backup Plan "Purchased Music and Videos" to do the following:
    1) Backup to CD/DVDs
    2) Restore to another Mac in a separate folder so that items can later be dragged into the destination Mac's iTunes Library
    I have tried the obvious already, and it appeared that there was no song files in the restored folder. I don't quite understand how to do what I need.

    You can't backup to an externa hard disk in iTunes, but there is nothing to stop you doing it in Windpws Explorer.
    Assuming you have a default installation i.e music files in the iTunes Music folder, just close iTunes and copy the iTunes folder to the external disk.
    It more convenient to use backsoftware which can backup changes, so after the intial backup, further backs are fast.
    There is an article on backup here:

  • How do i transfer a movie from my mac to ipad2

    i have a movie on my mac and i want to get it on my ipad.
    simple huh?
    mmmm ....
    help me please clever people ....

    Hello there, kojak100.
    The following Knowledge Base article goes over how to sync content to your iPad:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    This section may prove useful:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcasts tab will not appear.
    You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, movies under the Movies tab.
    To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Can I sync iPhone with movies on another Mac?

    My main computer is a PB but I do not have enough space to store movies on this machine. iTunes on this machine has all my music but my movies are on another Mac (G5) on my network. Is it possible to get iTunes on my PB to see movies on my G5 so that I can sync my iPhone with movies on that machine?
    Thanks
    Tony

    Your iPhone and itunes on one machine have a unique connection. Device information is kept on your computer and will recognise that phone. To connect the phone to another machine will create a new unique connection between the two, and everything you sync will mirror that machine. You can try syncing with one machine, all your music and stuff but not movies and on the other machine uncheck all selections for syncing other than movies. So to summarise. Machine 1, sync all things except movies. and on machine 2 sync nothing but movies, leaving everything else unsynced. It may not work, but it's worth a try, it won't mess anything up.

  • I synced my photos with one of my macs. Now I want to transfer those photos to another mac

    I had a bunch of photos on one of my mac books. I wanted those photos on my iPhone 6.
    I have synced the folder with my phone - and now I'm able to see those photos in one of my albums on my iPhone.
    However, now I want to transfer the photos from that album onto another mac but I find that when I connect my phone to that mac, and I browse iPhoto or Image Capture I'm only able to see photos taken with my iPhone Camera and not the photos I just transferred into the new album.
    Am I doing something wrong or is it really not possible to transfer photos this way (i.e. Mac A ---> iPhone 6 ----> Mac B) ?
    Thanks

    Hi Terence:
    so that sounds like better news...I should be OK when this happens?
    Essentially my events become albums...I still have the separation ..correct?
    Why would this be a problem?
    This was a response from an earlier post from Vanoord that concerned me: quote..see next-
    Events has been removed from Photos - it's replaced by 'Moments'.
    'Moments' are like 'Events', but split up by the software and you have no control over what goes where, or what they're called. If you've got 300 Events now, you can look forward to about 3,000 'Moments'.
    This response implies that all my 300 events will become separated into thousands of moments.  What does this mean?  Is this true?
    Won't my Events just become albums as you suggested?
    I have years of events that have accumulated and collated photos.  They must stay separated.
    ****the other thing I was unclear about was the synching part..
    Example:
    I have 300 albums with 30K photos distributed in various numbers in each album ( used to be events according to your response)
    I add some photos in each album each day
    I set all my devices to the cloud etc...
    the cloud synchs from my designated "source" Macbook...
    the cloud sees this and uploads
    then the confusing part...the other devices ( MacBooks, I pad, i phone) all will see the synch and can then be designated to download to each device in the original form as we view it on a Macbook or i phone?  What does "full resolution" or optimized previews mean as Leonie replied above?
    I need my JPEG images for my education keynote presentations and e mailing images as required from each event as needed ( soon to be albums)
    Thanks again...just want to understand what is going to happen

  • 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?
