Q: I do a recover a digital movie code I previously entered?  I do not still have the flyer with the number on it.

I previously entered the code to a digital movie into my computer.  I accidently erased the movie off the computer.  I still have the actual digital DVD, but not the flyer/paper containing the code (or the DVD plastic cover).  Through iTunes/ Apple, is there any way to retrieve the digital code/movie I already input a while ago?  Thanks.

PC, Windows XP, laptop, using wireless

    Those are one-time only codes, even if you had it you could not use it again.

     

    I don't actually know if movies downloaded this way appear in your purchase history or not, but if they do then you may be able to download the movie as and when the rights holders grant permission for repeat downloads in your region.

     

    To avoid disappointment in future create a backup and keep it up-to-date.

    Since you're apparently in the US, you may be able to download the movie again. See:

    Not all movie studios have granted Apple the right to allow re-downloading, but you might be fortunate and find your movie available.
