Missing "Download Later" Movie Purchase - iTunes?

Hi,


I'm just bought a movie and redeemed my digital copy; however, I chose to "download later" since I didn't need it right then. Now, I'm looking to download it, but cannot seem to find it. Can someone tell me where I go to get it?


Thanks!

Hi, redhead8705.


Thank you for the question. If at any time a purchase or Digital Copy doesn't download, you can always download it again at any time free of charge by accessing your purchase via the iTunes Store. Below, I have an article that goes over how to do this.

Also, you can check for available downloads. This article will walk you through that process.

I also clicked download later when getting a digital copy just about 20 minutes ago. Then decided maybe I should download it since I didn't see it in my Movies list.


I've verified that the steps above do not help. The only place I can find any comment about the movie is in "Purchase History" where it shows as FREE. But I cannot download from there.


This is using iTunes 11.0.5 (5) on Mac


My movies library does show other movies from the cloud, but not the one I just unlocked. If I go to the movie in the store it wants me to pay for it.


There appears to be others having this same problem that you click download later and then can't find the movie.

I had the very same issue. The discussion on this may be found at:

I've copied below the answer I received that worked:


iTunes prefs > Store.

Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. (If you do not see this, log out of iTunes store then log back in).

Now view your movies and this should show up with a cloud icon next to it.

Click the cloud icon to download.
