I’m dying here. I cannot figure out how to play my purchased iTunes movies on my iPad. Used to be a videos app, then tv app. I don’t see either of those on my iPad . When I used the iTunes Store app, I see my movie, when I click on it it tells me to download the tv app from the App Store. But the App Store doesn’t find a tv app or a Apple video app. I’m getting old, I miss things. What am I missing here?

Apple TV app. It might be in the Apple "folder", or do a search for it on your iPad.

And once you get to that app, you'll need to look at the bottom of the window for your video Library …

Thanks for the info. Found it. I haven’t used my iPad for movies in a long time. I missed that transition. Now I have another problem. I’m trying to stream my purchased movies from my iPad to a Samsung tv via HDMI and an hdmi adaptor. I now get the message that the attached display can’t play protected videos. Come on Apple. But I can go to my Amazon account and play movies from my Prime account. I give up.

The AppleTV App on any smartTV/Roku box will do that, probably cheaper than the HDMI adapter.

Rolando- I agree. Unfortunately I was away on a trip and staying at a motel. Didn't have my Apple TV box with me- so straight from iPad to TV using the HDMI adapter.
