Why can't I copy my iTunes movies to external hd like I used to?

Hi JoBuns24,

Thank you for providing that additional information. The steps you mention not working should still be an acceptable way to copy your content. First, if you haven't already, quit iTunes, restart your Mac and test for the behavior again.

If the issue persists, use these steps to start your Mac in safe mode and test: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac

If the issue seems resolved in safe mode, restart your Mac normally and test again. If the issue persists, use these steps to test for the behavior in another user account: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac

Let me know what you find.

Best Regards.

Hi JoBuns24,

I see that you've not received a reply to your post. Here is some information you can provide that may help others to respond.

What happens when you try to drag and drop the purchased movies to your desktop or external drive?

If you're seeing an error message, what does it say?

Are the purchases you're trying to move downloaded to your computer?

Best Regards.
