Why do I have to buy a movie I've already purchased from the Apple Store again? Hello all, why do I have to buy a movie I've already purchased from the Apple Store again? For example, if I want to watch the movies "The Matrix" or "Crocodile Dundee" or "War Games" on my iPad or via the "Apple TV 4K box" on a TV, then the Apple Store prompts me to buy these movies. However, I have already purchased these movies from the Apple Store and they are also listed in my purchase history. With many other movies from the Apple Store, I have the same problem of being prompted to buy these movies again. However, on the Mac where the data is stored in the library, I can watch all of these movies because I have downloaded them. I have already contacted Apple Support by phone, but they had no solution because they said the problem was not known to Apple. After I sent a list of the movies, I should buy again, to the Apple Support, Apple Support did not get back to me. ;-) What are the options to solve this problem that apparently Apple and Apple Support are not aware of? Thank you. PS: Friends of mine have the same problem with purchased movies from the Apple Store
