Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

Ok. That's strange.  The download should show up immediately in the lower right.  Even if it is stuck, you will se the red number.  So something is blocking the purchase.  Take a look at setting, restrictions, and see if something there is turned on that might be blocking you.

  • Can I delete purchased movies from my iPad to save space once it has been synced to iCloud

    Hi,
    I have 2 movies that I purchased on my iPad - The space is cramped now and I'm deleting apps to download new items.  I am not to familiar with the iCloud and I see my movies in there on the iMac - am I now able to delete these purchased movies off my iPad and still retain access to them through the iCloud (on my iPad)?  If so, how would I find them once I delete them? 
    Thank you for your help!!
    Beth

    Hi Beth,
    Yes, you can delete them from your iPad. If you want to re-download them in future, you would click on the iTunes app, then on More>Purchased>Movies>Not on this iPad, and then would click on the little cloud to the right of the movie you want to re-download.
    Cheers,

  • Why can I transfer my movies to my ipad after upgrading to iOS 7.

    Hi have an ipad 2 which has always worked great, until I upgraded to iOS 7 and now I can't transfer my movies to the ipad from iTunes.
    I have restored my ipad to factory settings and have tried copying movies and still no joy.  To make the matter even more annoying I have tried to contact apple support and I need to pay a £25 charge as I am out of warranty for a problem that apple have caused.
    Any ideas how to rectify this?
    Thanks

    That's a very helpful description of the problem and now. I wish I could be as helpful in return. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about syncing home movies or personal videos. I have synced several of my own, but it always went without issue.
    Some basic things that I can think of are ....
    Where are the movies residing in iTunes on your computer? If they have been imported into the movies library then they should appear in the Videos app when you sync. If they were imported into the photos folder, they could be in the photos app, but I assume that you checked that already.
    You did say this was a new problem so can I assume that the movies were appearing in the videos app?
    I have read where some users reclassified videos in order to get them to sync. After using the Get Info command in iTunes, they would classify a video as a TV show for example in order to get to sync. Forgive my ignorance on this, but like I said, I have very limited experience with this and I am trying to recall exactly what the process was.
    If nothing else, my comments will bump your post up again and hopefully somebody that knows what they are talking about will chime in.

  • Why can't I purchase movies from my Apple TV? When searching not all available movies even show up!

    I've had my apple tv for a while now, but have never actually purchased anything from the itunes store directly from the device. A friend recommended "Sleepless in Seattle" to me, and since it's not in Netflix or On Demand, I decided to buy it from itunes.
    In doing a search in the Movies section of my Apple TV and typing in "Sleepl", I got no results. Bummed, I went onto Amazon to see how much the DVD would cost. On a whim, I opened itunes on my computer and did a search for the movie. To my shock, it is available for purchase on itunes for $9.99!
    Once I found this out, I went back to my Apple TV and searched again. The movie still didn't appear to exist. I noticed then that every movie on the apple tv only gave me the option of renting, not buying. I was going to purchase from my computer, but then thought better of it because I wasn't sure it would be made available for me to watch on the apple tv.
    Is there something wrong with my system? Why can't I buy movies from the device? I can buy tv shows, so it just seems weird to me that this is limited to the movies!

    Ha, ha, you are such a tool!
    That profile was written in 2007 and never updated. Unlike you, I don't live on this forum. I have one 5 year old Dell gathering dust, waiting for the trash that has some kids software on it my kids never use.
    Currently I own a 27 inch iMac, and a 21 inch iMac used by my wife. I just sold my MacBook Air, which replaced my MacBook Pro of two years ago. I have an AppleTV v2, and unfortunately gave my AppleTV v1 to a friend before I realized they stripped out the movie purchase feature. We also own an iPad, two iPhones, and 4 iPods, two of which are used as digital music storage for our cars.
    So yes, all of my factual posts concerning Apple's shocking decision to try to hide the fact they removed significant functionality from AppleTV when they revved it, are just driven by the fact that 4 years ago I used almost no apple products. Apparently I harbor a twisted desire to hurt the company that provides me almost all of my technology of choice today, despite being an early software developer for the Mac, helping start two Macinotosh software companies in the 1980s and 1990s, and working at Apple for 2 years in the early 90s.
    The truth is, Apple's products weren't so good 15 years ago so I gradually switched to Windows for professional reasons. About 4 years go I bought an iPhone, and started to wake up to the fact that Apple had done a tremendous job moving the Mac platform to the intel architecture, and was very happy to replace my crappy dells with Apple products.
    But that doesn't mean I wear blinders when their product teams and marketing department makes mistakes, or does something deceptive.

  • Why can't I purchase movies or tv-shows in Norway?

    I was wondering why I can't purchase movies or TV-shows from iTunes. I'm from Norway, so my account is registered i Norway. Apple don't sell Apple TV i Norway either. WHY?!

    Because Apple doesn't have permission to sell enough movies and TV shows in Norway to open sections for them in its iTunes Store.

  • Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
    We could not complete your purchase
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
    Thank you!

    I have tried to re-install Lion
    If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
    Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message:  The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • Why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

    why can't i purchase videos in itunes?! is it a country/region restriction!?

    You can only purchase what the itunes store in your country sells.
    The owners of the distribution rights of music/movies/etc. must allow itunes to sell their content.  Unless and until Apple is able to reach an agreement with these companies, then they will not be able to provide.
