    Not sure what you are asking about? Are these purchased or rented movies? When you indicate that you want to download them from iTunes, do you mean you want to rent or purchase from the iTunes Store, or that you already rented or purchased, and you cannot find the movie? Please provide more info.

     

    Cheers,

    Your question would be much easier to answer if we didn't have to guess at a whole lot of information - in other words, if you told us exactly what you have tried, what has failed, etc.

     

    Examples:

     

    • What version of iTunes are you using?
    • Did you purchase the movie(s) from the iTunes Store?
    • If so, did you purchase it (them) on the Mac?

     

    Knowing next to nothing about your situation, I am guessing this might be the answer - but it might not.

    Can't download purchased movies from itunes

    Do you mean the iTunes Store? "iTunes" is an application on your computer.

     

    Download your past purchases - https://support.apple.com/HT201272 - "Find your past purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV" "With iTunes in the Cloud, you can access your past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store." - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204632); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks, alert tones, rental movies), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "... back up your iTunes library. " (https://support.apple.com/HT201272). http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html - "Some iTunes Eligible Content that you previously acquired may not be available for subsequent download at any given time, and Apple shall have no liability to you in such event. As you may not be able to subsequently download certain previously-acquired iTunes Eligible Content, once you download an item of iTunes Eligible Content, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage it, and you may want to back it up." There is, however, this document about ringtones: Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/ht204076
