Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Itunes error: "The movie "___" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"

But there is no file and I can't locate or re download the movie. How do I get this movie back?

If the film is still in the store delete it from the Movies/Films section of your library (where you are trying to play it from) and re-download it : Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books from the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books - Apple Support


If it's no longer in the store copy it back from your backup of your downloads/Mac
