    Howdy Clare162,

     

    It sounds like you are seeing multiple of the same purchase in your Videos app on your iPad. I would start by quitting the Videos app:

     

    Force an app to close in iOS

    1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
    2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
    3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

     

    Then sign out of the iTunes and App Stores in your Settings. 

     

    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    iTunes, iBooks, and App Store

    1. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    2. Tap your Apple ID. If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
    3. Tap Sign Out.

     

    Then restart your iPad, sign back in and try again. That should fix the issue.
