May 12, 2012 5:29 PM in response to Hank Chambersby Demo,★HelpfulAre the movies still in iTunes on the Mac - if they are sync them again. Make sure that they are selected to sync and that the sync movies heading is selected as well.
If the movies are in iTunes and you already tried to sync them with no success - Are you using the same Apple ID on the iPad that you are using in iTunes on the Mac and would that be the ID that you bought the movies with?
If you live in the U.S., many movies can now be downloaded again from iTunes at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the movies. You can download them again in the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad - tap on the View Movies Button in the upper left corner and your purchased movies will appear. Tap on the cloud icon to download them again.
You can also download them again in iTunes on the Mac and sync them back to the iPad.

May 12, 2012 5:43 PM in response to Demoby Hank Chambers,Thanks. I figured that I had to check the movies on the iTunes program on the top left hand side as well as checking each movie on the movie section of the iPad in the Devices section of iTunes. I hadn't had to do this before the new OS I downloaded this morning.
