Digital movie code redeemed but not showing up in iTunes

This is the second time this has happened, and both times were from different companies (Paramount and Disney).


I buy a movie with a digital movie code. I go to redeem the code (first by choosing 'Redeem' under the Account menu in iTunes, and enter the code. It accepts the code (the redeem button is grayed out now), but there's no movie in your library.


Both times, when the above doesn't work I go to the company websites of Paramount and Disney to redeem it. After going to the company websites and entering the code, it gives you the option to redeem your copy for their player (Ultraviolet or Disney Movies Anywhere) or iTunes. If you choose iTunes, it takes you back to the Redeem screen within the app and it reacts the same way (enter the code, nothing happens, nothing shows up in iTunes, etc.).


I've already logged out and logged it back in to iTunes.

I've checked in the downloaded items sections.

I can't find anywhere to check for icloud purchases.

These codes were new, taken out of the package by me.

The digital codes entered into the sites now say they've been redeemed.

Both Paramount and Disney say this is an iTunes problem.

My iTunes is updated to the most current version.

This isn't a playback problem; these movies aren't in my iTunes anywhere (purchased, recently added, etc.).


Help?

Hey, Farmyman.

After reviewing your post, it appears that you're unable to download a digital copy of movie in iTunes after the redemption code has been accepted. I'm happy to help.

It is just possible that the item has been added to your library in a hidden state. See Hide and unhide iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store purchases - Apple Support to unhide any currently hidden past purchases from the iTunes Store and Redownload music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books from the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store - Apple Support to download them.
