Movie won't sync to phone nor computer?

I recently bought the movie Frozen on iTunes, but it won't play!

I downloaded while I didn't have wi-fi available, only cellular data. After I purchased the movie, I remember it saying something about connecting to wi-fi though I am not exactly sure.


Anyways, now that I am home I have been having issues with getting the movie onto anything. It's not on my phone, and when I try to manually put it on my phone through my computer, it says it won't because it needs to be downloaded onto iCloud, however when I attempt to download the movie onto my computer, my computer apparently doesn't meet the requirements for HD, which I purchased, and is telling me to buy SD at full price if I want to download the movie onto my computer, or even watch it on iTunes. I am not willing to pay again for a movie I have already bought, even though I cannot view it.


I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong category, but I am understandably fustrated since while the few songs I purchased are working and have downloaded beautifully, this movie isn't, and I was only able to purchase it through a gift card I got for my birthday. Not being able to see the birthday present I got with it is somewhat disappointing.


I have an iPhone 5c and use an old Windows XP laptop that can play 720p videos just fine...

Hi pony8girl,


If you are having issues with HD video download, you may find the following article helpful:

Note: The most likely reason you are unable to play/download HD video in iTunes directly to your computer is due to XP not supporting HDCP:


iTunes for Windows: Unable to view or play HD video content that requires HDCP
