Hi clisch01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You may need to redownload the movie and try again:

Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought? I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question. Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded? I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud. ( My computer shows the icon.)

What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

Why cant i watch the movie i just bought? it is in my itunes library, but it wont let me watch it.

I just recently bought Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and I can see it in my iTunes library, but when I Press Play it doesn't Play.

Do you get any errors when trying to view? Are you using iTunes 11?
If you go to iTunes > Pref > General is the Movie option ticked?

Why isn't the movie I bought on my iPod Touch not showing up on iTunes?

I purchased a video while on my iPod Touch one night, but when I got to Sync my iPod, it won't show up in the movies section on iTunes, only on my actual iPod. Is there something that makes it so that purchases on your iPod can't be transfered to iTunes or am I doing something wrong?

Did you try to transfer it by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
It is a purchased video and not a rented video, right? If you have a 4G iPod rentals can't be transfered to the computer.

Why doesn't the movie I just sent to iTunes from garageband show up at all?

Hey guys, Let me tell you about my predicament. So I made this video using photobooth, and I used garage band to make a track for my video, so I've got the video file, and all the tracks. So I want to "Share" this video right, (send it to itunes under movies, so i can upload it to youtube) so anyway I click share, I scroll down to "Send Movie to Itunes" and the video normalizes/compresses/ etc, and then when it finishes compressing and everything, I check my itunes library and there's nothing there. I've tried doing this five times now. still no luck. I know that people may be having the same problem as me so it would be great if someone could help me out. I really appreciate it, Thanks.

Silly question, but you have selected the "Movies" section in the iTunes Library, right? Then you should see your movie at the top of the list, when you sort your Library by "Date added", after sharing with "Send Movie to iTunes".
If it does not show up in your iTunes Library, you may have a problem with the iTunes Library, then please look in the iTunes Forum for help, I don't dare to give advice with that.
As a work-around share your finished Movie to your disk: "Share > Export Movie to Disk". This will have the advantage, that you get to specify the video settings and have more control over the finished video and the quality. Then import the video to iTunes.

Why isn't the movie trailer for "WANTED" in AppleTV Movies Trailer

Are AppleTV owners to receive less of a selection than is at www.apple.com/trailers?

I've certainly noticed that the list isn't as comprehensive as those on the website. Wall-E, for example, was in the AppleTV but now appears to be absent. I thought Wanted was in there earlier as well.

Why isn't the movie "aliens" available?

All of the other Alien movies are available except Aliens.

I recently asked the same question. Some movies on iTunes will be on there for a while then will be taken down. I was looking into buying 'Inception' because I thought I saw it on iTunes a while back, but unfortunently I couldn't find it. Hope this helps!

Why isn't the first generation iPad not supported by iOS 6?

I am totally confused. Why isn't the first iPad supported in iOS 6?
iPad 1: Apple A4 1GHz processor and 256 mb RAM
iPod Touch 3G: 800 MHz processor (same as iPhone 3GS) and 256 mb RAM
iPhone 3GS: 800 MHz processor (underclocked to 600 i believe)

3GS is still sold officially and new. iPad first generation isn't. Android is even worse about things like this.
PLEASE don't branch this into twenty different threads, and keep it in the two that already exist.

My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
If you are still having problems try a restore.

Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
You could do the following:
- get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
- if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.

Ok, So I just purchased a song, and we it got done loading. I went to listen to it and It wouldn't play at all. This isn't the only one I bought a song that will only play half way. What can I do to fix this?

Why isn't the iMessage working on my phone? Up until 1:45pm today it was fine, but now it isn't working.

Why isn't the iMessage on my iPhone 4s working? Up until about 1:45PM today it was working just fine but now it sends it as a text message. I have tried everything in the setting but it still is not working. Any tips would be great! Thanks!

It should be back up now, they had a system outage. Reset your iPhone.

Why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

Is that during installation when you see the two icons.. the one on the left looking like a Garageband guitar icon, the one on the right like the Logic Pro platimum record icon?
Yes.. that one.. with the choice to click on which option you want/are coming from...
p.s. I'll probably aquire a Mac Mini this fall then upgrade.... I mean repurchase!
I think I managed to grab one of the last of the 2011 refurb'ed MMS's.... at that super low price Apple were selling them for... before they bumped it up and now, they seem to have none left at all at any price
However, just in case, I have found this site really useful at keeping track of Apple's refurb stock... and pricing

Why isn't the Youtube app on my iPod?

Why isn't the Youtube app on my iPod?

I also think that it was a mistake for them to take away the Built in YouTube Application but you could always try to download it from the App Store because their is now an YouTube app i have tried it and it works fine but it is just not the same as the Built in one
Hope this solves your issue
Hope they bring back the Built in YouTube App on the next IOS Update.
Best of Luck

Why isn't a ibook i just purchased downloading on my ipad

Do you have an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) so that you can check in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on that to see if it shows - it should show the same as on your computer's iTunes but it may be worth trying.
And your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ?
Changing the primary email address on an account shouldn't make any difference - you said that it shows as 'Purchased' in the store, so it's recognising that it's the same account. You could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it isn't showing : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
