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.

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?

Transfer purchased movie to iPad w/o iTunes?

It seems hard to imagine that I can't do this, but this seems harder to do then you'd think. I hope I'm missing something obvious.
I bought a full season of Mad Men Season 4. I sync'd my iPad but it did not sync the last episode. I do not currently have access to the computer that I normally sync my iPad too (long story short - when the **** are the new MacBookAirs coming out???). Anyway, I would like to get the last episode on to the iPad - I have the file on a different laptop but if I sync that laptop with this iPad I think it will lose all the other stuff on the iPad.
Therefore, the question is can I get that file to the iPad so I can watch it?
If I go to download that last episode again directly to the iPad will iTunes charge me another $2.99?
I know that an obvious solution is to watch the last episode on my laptop, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.
Thanks in advance.
David

You can only download videos once from iTunes.
Sync it with iTunes on the originally synced computer.

Transfer purchases from IOS7 IPad to a new laptop.

Hi,
I am unable to transfer purchases from my IPad (IOS7) to my new laptop with the latest iTunes software. When connecting the device I can see all purchases and content, I have tried to select 'transfer purchases' from within the menu structures, tried syncing, yet when I try it fails to start the sync - or at least that is the error message. The laptop is authorised and home sharing is on.
Any ideas?

There is an iOS app that lets you bluetooth transfer files between iOS devices without Wifi. It's called MobileGo for iOS
I was looking for an iOS app to bluetooth transfer Pages files and PDFs from a non-cellular iPad 3 to an iPhone 5. Basically, I want to write a document on my iPad, transfer it via bluetooth to my iPhone, and email it to my editor--all without using Wifi. Seems simple, but it's actually hard to find an iOS app that does it
-Bump is cool, but it wouldn't work because it requires a Wifi or cellular connection for both devices.
-File Manager (from TapMedia, Ltd.) will do the trick. You need to download File Manager on both devices, and the transfer isn't as simple as Bump, but it did work for me.
Here's the File Manager transfer process
On your iPad
-Open document in Pages
-Share document to File Manager
-Share document via Bluetooth
On your iPhone
-Open File Manager
-Go to Transfers screen, press "Receive" to download file
-Open file in File Manager
-Share file to Pages
-Share file in Pages via email, convert to Word
-Email file to recipient

I cannot transfer purchases from my ipad to my pc

for over a month now, i could not been able to transfer purchases from my ipad to itunes. when i try this manually, a very quick count of transferring is shown in the info panel in itunes (approx. 10 seconds). But nothing is actually transferred to my hdd. My problem is i have around 600 apps installed on my ipad.
Please be sure about these before answering to my thread :
- My pc is authorised for certain.
- i' ve tried the "deauthorising-authorising again" action with no luck
- i' ve only used one itunes account while purchasing the apps.
- i' ve uninstalled and installed again for several times (all the apple products (itunes, quicktime, bonjour, mobile device support etc.)
- i' ve an iphone 3gs, authorised with the same PC. and can transfer purchases without any problem.
- for several times; when i connect my ipad to itunes, it urges me to restore to a previous backup. without any choice i do that. I find my notes etc turned to the previous back up version. But i also see the apps (which i cannnot transfer to itunes)remained undeleted.
- i have never jailbreaked anything. I am a good App Store customer.
- what i find while googling, i saw that i am not the only one facing this problem. Several users experienced this over 2 years. the only solution people find and recommend to me is to jailbreak and ssh into the ios system. they say this one :
"It appears to be a permission issue (probably due to the upgrade from 1.x to 2.x).
I changed permissions on a directory and removed a file and it seemed to work again.
chmod g+w /var/mobile/Media/ApplicationArchives/
rm /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.archive.plist"
i don' t want to do this.
- my biggest problem is i cannot upgrade to ios 4.3 because of this bug; because that, i cannot backup. Think of several apps that have files in it and customizations. think of long sized and timed games that are saved in the middle. i cannot start everything from the scratch.
-i cannot purchase them again inside itunes. Because i don' t have the long list of those apps which refuses to transfer.
-this makes ipad unreliable.i cannot trust it anymore while backups are not reliable.
- i have enough space on my hdd
- i am using win7 ultimate x64 and using the latest x64 itunes version.
- of course i tried different usb ports, different original usb cables.
- my hdd is in good state
- nothing is wrong with the iphone backups. I can backup iphone 3gs with the same pc.
- i' ve tried desyncing the music and trying with that, also done this with the movies, podcasts etc.
- i' ve choosen the "sync newly installed apps" option. Also my apps are thicked (choosen for sync).
- For hard reset, when i press the home + sleep button together for 10 seconds, it only shuts down. And shutting down is very fast (maybe 3 seconds).

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.

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

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

Why will my apple tv only access purchases made in itunes library? My Home Sharing is activated on both my TV and computer, but I continue to get message to activate Home Sharing. I am unable to transfer my movies downloaded in Itunes.

Why will my Apple TV only accept purchases made in Itunes? I am unable to transfer movies and music that I have downloaded in Itunes through my Apple TV to my TV. All movies are in an MP3 Ipad format.I have followed every troubleshooting suggestion with no luck. If my Apple TV will transfer purchased music, I must assume the Home Sharing is activate on both my computer and TV.

Thank you. I meant streaming, not transfer. I have streamed movies through my Apple TV before and watched them on my TV. Now, the only content that will stream is what I purchased in the Itunes store. My Home Sharing is obviously activated or the streaming of purchased items would not work. Both my Itunes and Apple TV are fully updated. Where am I going wrong?

Unable to transfer purchases on iPad to itunes

Can't transfer ap purchases on devices to iTunes after re-downloaded iTunes. After a Lion reinstall(over existing) I could not get iTunes to recognize the data on my MacBook and it asked me to download iTunes again which I did. Now everything seems ok except this problem. It seems now anything purchased on my devices will not transfer.
I've tried deauth and reauth the computer and manually transferring them, no help.

Plug your device into the computer; In iTunes right-click on your device name under the Devices listing; Select "Transfer Purchases from..."
You can also re-download all your purchase through the iTunes Store by selecting Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right.

Unable to download purchased movie in iTunes

I am unable to download a purchased movie from itunes. The download icon spins as if it were downloading but it is not. I am connected to the internet so this is not the problem. I have purchased other movies but on this one I am "stuck in spin".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have the same problem with the '6 iTunes Downloads Available' but was never able to solve it witht the iTunes support, nor the Apple Store Genius bar. I went through 3 people with the iTunes Online support and in the end they couldn't figure out why my computers (macbook pro 1" and brand new mac mini) iTunes wouldn't download the available downloads. They are 6 ringtones that I purchased and downloaded successfully on an iphone 4. Then I took my iphone 4 into the Apple Store and they replaced it and I hadn't synced it to my computer so I lost them. Then I emailed support and they sent the 6 ringtones to my iTunes account and my computers, iphones and ipads couldn't download them. In the end they ended up crediting my account with 10 song credits that I could use because they couldn't solve the problem after 6 months. So now there they sit evertime I'm in iTunes '6 iTunes Downloads Available'. Sorry I don't have the answer I've tried everything on my own, even erasing my phones and computer then reinstalling everything.

HT203180 Cannot sync purchased movies to iPad

Since upgrading to the new OS this morning, I have been unable to load iTunes Store purchased movies to my iPad. In fact, after I loaded the new system, I lost all of the movies on my iPad. It did allow the movies that I've ripped from my collection into iTunes to stay on the iPad. Any suggestions?

Are the movies still in iTunes on the Mac - if they are sync them again. Make sure that they are selected to sync and that the sync movies heading is selected as well.
If the movies are in iTunes and you already tried to sync them with no success - Are you using the same Apple ID on the iPad that you are using in iTunes on the Mac and would that be the ID that you bought the movies with?
If you live in the U.S., many movies can now be downloaded again from iTunes at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the movies. You can download them again in the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad - tap on the View Movies Button in the upper left corner and your purchased movies will appear. Tap on the cloud icon to download them again.
You can also download them again in iTunes on the Mac and sync them back to the iPad.

Playing purchased movies from iPad that had been synced to my computer

Downloaded purchased movie from itunes to my computer and then synced it to my IPad. I tried playing the movie from my iPad to my apple tv and it says this device is not authorized to play content. Also tried from iPod but no luck! I can watch the movie on my iPad but I can't AirPlay it! Any suggestions,

Like you I am having the same problem. I am at a loss, seems despite the fact I have purchased the content and am only using the TV as a display I don't understand the authorization question. I hope someone has an answer.
