My movies are porting fine into and out of iTunes. I am also now missing that disconnect option in iTunes. It’s also missing on iOS devices. Hate how Apple ties everything to a device and we can just manage stuff via the web.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, it's been removed for now. They probably don't want people constantly linking/relinking. Have patience, it took me over 10 hours for movies to port into iTunes yesterday.
Movies Anywhere is showing up for me, and I have movies missing from my account. Those being three UV films I redeemed at MA (American Sniper, Entourage and Sully) last night.

So now I do have something not working. I redeemed a code for the original Jungle Book in MA and now the movie shows up in my MA app on my phone and the Vudu app on my iPad, but not on iTunes anywhere.

Yup. Similar issue. Added a couple of D2D titles from Vudu. They appear in Movies Anywhere. They appear in my linked Amazon account. They DO NOT appear in iTunes. Seems syncing to iTunes is lagging or temperamental !
Have you checked the title in the store? Seems the library is lagging, but the store has always been up to date for me.
Yup. Both still have a price to buy vs having a Cloud Download and play button.
Any idea why Itunes removed the Disconnect from Movies Anywhere on Itunes and on the phones in the Account Settings? It was there yesterday now today you cant disconnect any longer. Seems itunes is not porting movies from Movies Anywhere. Assume this is an apple/itunes issues not MA ? Seems Amazon and Google Play have had no issues at least for me syncing movies into the accounts but Itunes wont sync movies into the system. Do I need to contact Apple Support for this option to be put back into the Account settings ? Or known issue?
Just tried the disconnect/connect thing in iTunes and now it's saying the connection is pending.... Bugger.
Interesting. Well if I had to guess, all transactions between MA and iTunes are stuck, including new connections. Perhaps there's a queue somewhere that's full or broken. I guess we'll have to wait for Apple/MA to fix.
Has anyone contacted Apple Support about this issue? Seems Movies Anywhere is not syncing movies from other providers into Itunes. I see itunes porting out some movies but nothing coming into Itunes after 24 hour wait. and with no ability to unlink and relink now not sure what else can be done
Curious what Apple support is saying if anyone has contacted them yet?

same here, I added a few newly purchased movies in vudu last night not showing in iTunes this morning, I still have moviesanywhere tab im my iTunes account so does it mean that if I disconnect and reconnect moviesanywhere in my iTunes account, any future purchased movies will not be shared and can only played where you purchased it from within 180 days?
Do they show for you fine in iTunes on mac, ATV, the iOS iTunes app, or the iOS TV app?
None of the above yet for me.
Still can't see the original Jungle Book in iTunes. I looked in the store but the movie is no longer available for purchase anywhere (silly Disney Vault) But I just got the movie directly from Disney and redeemed the digital code with success in MA and Vudu. Hopefully it shows up in time. If not I'll try killing the link and reconnecting.
I LOVE this idea. And I think the biggest win is UV finally works within iTunes so my large library that's been split between UV and iTunes is finally in one place! My only gripe is for some idiotic reason Disney didn't launch their service with a way to automatically link the account to it's own Disney Movies Anywhere service where I already have 90 movies and all my Movie Reward points.
So with Movies Anywhere Apple could lose out on iTunes sales. VUDU seems to be a big winner in this due to the fact that if I buy the UHD version in VUDU I get the 4K version in VUDU plus 4K version in iTunes. If I buy the 4K version in iTunes I do not get the UHD version in VUDU.
Maybe. I have a feeling Apple is trying to position the free UHD upgrades to get people to go to iTunes first. If you constantly redeem codes on iTunes, I think you are more likely to buy/rent on iTunes.
And I think the whole UHD landscape is a mess, and MA didn't help. Studios just need to give it up and make HD=4K and stop this nonsense.
There is an app, but it's not necessary, you can use iTunes.
FYI, you can check Vudu for which movies will port over (they have the little MA bug on them like UV).
You can migrate your movies (if you used the same email address to sign up for MA and DMA it should have offered this automatically during signup). I received an email this morning saying that DMA "will be closing in the near future". I assume the Disney Movie Rewards site will remain, so you should still be able to redeem your points.
No. I didn't see how you do that. And that should have been one of the initial options when it asks you to connect to the other available services. Do you know how to migrate DMA into MA? My DMA was already connected to all my services.
