I remember that it was possible to stream movies, tv shows, and music that you have purchased from iCloud onto your mac via iTunes. It seems that this feature has disppeared. Does anyone have any idea where these features went to? I know iTunes Match is only for music...but there was a free service for movies and tv shows too.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Nothing has changed.
You can download some past purchases from icloud.

Streaming from iCloud to a computer has never been a feature of iTunes.
Had the exact same question. Before iTunes 11.0.4 it was possible to stream movies from iCloud on a Mac, but the option has disappeared. Also in preferences the option "Show iTunes purchases in the cloud" has disappeared. Has this option moved somewhere else, if so I can't find it?

How exactly did you do this?
I just noticed that the option to do this has completely disappeared. I wonder if it is happening to a lot of people. It should be an option under preferences and then the store tab.
In iTunes on a Mac, when iCloud movie purchases are displayed, just click one of them and it starts streaming.
And I just noticed that when I logged out and logged in again to iTunes store, the option came back in preferences and it works again!
I just quit iTunes for a while and then opened it again and now the option is back. I wonder what would cause that to happen.
On Mavericks, (with right click enabled on mouse) you can right-click on the movie and the context menu gives two choices at the top... "play (movie title)" and "download". If you select "play", it streams from iCloud.
What happened to streaming movies purchased movies from iCloud in iTunes?
