It would be great if Apple was consumer friendly and allowed iTunes Movie/TV purchases to be playable on all the other services as well. I do like that once movies from UV are available in iTunes then you also get the iTunes benefits like all the Bonus Content and the 4K upgrades where available (I think). It's a little disappointing that all the titles aren't available yet like my Die Hard Collection, Alien Covenant, Live Die Repeat, and WB titles like Gatsby and LOTR (that I can tell)
That's all up to the studios. But the ones you listed are all Movies Anywhere enabled, so they should port.
thanks! That worked! and I had 84 DMA movies, that's insane!
that's not counting the 1,100 combined iTunes/UV
And an easy way to tell right now is to search for the movie on Vudu and look for the MA logo. Or you can search on the MA site (just not in while looking in your movies).
Even some movies for studios that participate might not get MA status.
Still broke. Anybody recently successfully sync a movie FROM MA to iTunes ? It hasn't worked for me since yesterday.
On the Movies Anywhere site under support it says movie syncing is experiencing delays and could take up to 8 hours to sync.
Ouch thats new. Last time I looked, under Help it said it could take an hour. Ok.. I'll recheck tomorrow ;-)
Spoke to MA and Apple Support both and there is an issue for sure.
Apple says my MA Account has been disconnected that is why I can no longer see an option to "Disconnect From Movies Anywhere" on my PC or on my Phone in the account settings.
The problem is MA still thinks I am connected to Itunes and offers only a "Disconnect" button on its website. But clicking "Disconnect" on the MA website or IOS app only takes you to Itunes Account settings where I have no option to disconnect as its now gone so stuck in a loop.
Apple confirms Yes I am disconnected from MA and MA shows me connected still.
MA says they are working with Itunes to fix this issue and it will be fixed but no time frame on the fix but it has acknowledged it is an issue.
Apple says they cant fix the issue for individuals and that MA must fix the issue and they are working with Itunes to fix this.

I'm so excited. I got mine to connect after having so many issues. To others having the problems regarding connecting to iTunes open your iTunes on your mac and open the link which open iTunes from Movies Anywhere which will prompt iTunes to open the dialog box to connect the service. The iTunes weblink should be found in your web history when you went to connect initially.
This is how I set it up originally. Are you saying to perform the same action? If so, delete the link first or just repeat the first action again?
Because Movies Anywhere was showing me as connected to iTunes I needed to get the link which automatically opens iTunes and prompts you to connect. You shouldn't have to delete any link, just use the same link you used when you originally connected. It worked for me shockingly! I'm now up and running.
So I wasn't getting my movies to sync from google play to movies anywhere. So I disconnected and reconnected google play and the movies now show up everywhere except for itunes. Next step is to disconnect and reconnect itunes. This is going to get old fast if I have to do this every time a movie is added.
How do you find that link exactly ? and do what with the link? thanks!
It should be in your internet browser history, it will have opened at the time you originally linked your accounts.
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/
That's just part of the link, it will be a lot longer for you and contain codes. I can't provide the full link because the code mine uses will obviously be different to yours. If you've already linked with iTunes it should be in your internet history
Great idea I will try this latter !! Yeah I should have that original link still thanks!
How did the iTunes reconnect go? I'm tempted to do that myself. Out of the 4 services i have connected it's the only one thats not syncing.
I can't get it to go from the app. And the website appears to be down at the moment. I'll have to try again later.
How do you get the Apple TV developer menu to show up so I can also check all the video data? I downloaded Xcode and ran it. I tried connecting to a source device but no devices show up. Nothing showing up on my atv. Everything is on the same network.
Apple has admitted there are issue with the connections between them and MA? One of the reasons why many of us don't have the disconnect options anymore. Give it some time and it will get resolved.
Did you pair your Xcode to the ATV?

Once you do that the developer menu will show up.

That’s the info I was missing. Didn’t realize there was a specific pairing process for Xcode. Thanks. Will try it later tonight when home.
Do you know what those hoops are?? Other than gifting yourself the iTunes version of the film. Someone gifted me a UV code for Bram Stoker’s Dracula and with MA, I was really hoping to watch it in 4K on my ATV.
I deleted the connection between MA and iTunes. Resynced and it stated all of my UVs will show up in my iTunes purchased library. So far, this is not correct. I'll wait and see what happens since this service is so new.
Just like games and electronics, everything that comes out is always a beta day one, a suckers bet.

Well guys, that worked!
I desynced and reconnected MA to iTunes. It worked about 30 minutes later. Yesterday only iTunes movies showed up in VUDU, not they go both ways.
Now the only thing left to wonder is why my VUDU library shows up over 1,100 titles yet iTunes has just a tad more than 900. I presume it's the other studios not joining in MA yet. It just seems like a big number.
