Trying to download and watch an itunes movie I previously purchased on my iphone but it isn't showing in my itunes. It is only showing as an icloud option on my iphone but I don't have the space anymore to download and watch it there. How can I watch my movie on my laptop? Even better if I can dowload it as I have plenty of room on my laptop for this and rather it not have to stream on internet.
Hi amslyn23,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to download a past purchase on your computer but aren't seeing the option. This might happen if you're using more than one Apple ID or the file is already in your iTunes library. Take a look at the article linked below for more information and the steps for downloading past purchases.

Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
- iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.- iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store. Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books). Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
- Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
- Click the Download
icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Cheers!
