iTunes is available for installing on both Windows and Mac OS. As the largest and most popular media store, iTunes owns a huge amount of media files for downloading, such as songs, movies, TV shows and so on. Though most of them are charged with price on different scales, free video clips and movies are offered periodically in iTunes Store. Let us follow the below steps to find and download these free iTunes videos for watching.
Instruction: How to Download Free Movies with iTunes
1. Download and install correct version of iTunes according to the operating system of your computer. Click 'Start' on Windows or go to the Application folder on Mac to find and launch iTunes.
2. Click 'iTunes Store' in the upper right and it will show itself as the main window of iTunes.
3. Press the 'Music' or 'TV Show' icon on the upper left Menu.
4. Find and choose 'Free on iTunes' in the right column. You will see on the main window a list of current free media, including free songs, and free TV episodes.
5. Choose any movie to see its description and decide whether to download it. According to Apple, the downloading time for a 45 minute video on a broadband connection ranges from three to 20 minutes.
6.Connect your iPhone, iPod or iPad to your computer via their USB syncing cable. Then the free Movies you download on your computer will be transferred to the device automatically so that you can watch them anywhere you want.
If you have Android or Windows-based devices rather than Apple devices for the free Movies to be transferred, you need to do as follows to make it.
Instruction: How to Transfer Free iTunes movies to non-Apple devices
We all know it is the Fairplay DRM in the iTunes movies that prevents them being copied and transferred to non-Apple devices, even though these are free iTunes videos.

Step 4 Click 'Convert' button to start the DRM removing process. The downloaded iTunes free movies will be converted one by one to unprotected MP4 videos, and then appear on your connected device.
Now, take iTunes free movies on your non-Apple devices to anywhere for enjoying.

How It Works
The basic setup is actually pretty simple. Apple quietly added an Automatically Add to iTunes
folder in a recent release of iTunes 9, which means that, while iTunes still doesn't support watching and syncing custom folders, it does give us a pretty slick avenue for hacking together our own solution. Here's how it works:

Belvedere (Windows) and Hazel (Mac) are automated file management tools that keep track of folders of your choosing and perform actions on files in those folders based on rules you set up. Basically, we're going to set up Belvedere (or Hazel) to monitor all the folders to which you download new music, and automatically add those files to iTunes' Automatically Add to iTunes
folder. (Note: By default, Belvedere only scans folders once every five minutes; if you want it to scan more frequently, just open the app, go to your Preferences tab, and change the sleep time. It's a lightweight app, and I've never had problems running the scans every minute or less.)
You'll likely want the behavior to vary depending on what kind of downloading you're doing, so I'll lay out a few different setups below.

Sync Music from Your Web Downloads Folder
Let's start simple: You occasionally browse the web's vast offering of searchable MP3s to snag a one-off single. When you download an MP3 from the web, it ends up in your browser's default Downloads folder. What we're going to do is set up your automated file manager to watch that folder for new MP3s and move them to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. In Belvedere, such a rule would look like you see in the screenshot below:

(Note: If you're a Firefox user, you could also try an extension like Automatic Save Folder to detect and automatically download specific file types to specific folders. In this case, you could tell the extension to save all MP3s to iTunes' Automatically Add to iTunes folder.)
As you can see, Belvedere monitors my C:UsersUser_NameDocumentsDownloads
folder for new MP3s, and when it finds them, moves them to C:UsersUser_NameMusiciTunesiTunes MusicAutomatically Add to iTunes
. iTunes regularly scans that folder for new music, and when it finds it, automatically adds it to my library and organizes it in my iTunes Music
folder. If you'd like Belvedere to ask you before attempting to move newly downloaded files to iTunes, click the Confirm Action checkbox.

That was simple enough, right? Things get slightly more tricky when you're dealing with BitTorrent.
Sync Music from Your BitTorrent Downloads
When you're downloading music via BitTorrent, you don't want Belvedere to attempt to move any tracks before they've completed downloading, and since BitTorrent downloads can sometimes take a while, you could potentially run into a situation where Belvedere might try moving a song before it's completed downloading. So to handle your BitTorrent music downloads, here's what I'd suggest:
(I'm using uTorrent as my example because it's the most popular BitTorrent client, but most have similar features.)

Next set Belvedere to monitor that folder for new MP3s (or other audio file types you normally download) just like you did in the example above. When it matches, move the files to the iTunes watch folder. Make sure to tick the Recursive box to ensure Belvedere checks inside folders instead of just scanning the root, since most BitTorrent downloads will hold the MP3s inside a folder.

(Ideally we could copy files in this instance rather than move them so your BitTorrent client could continue seeding the download until you decide you don't want to seed it anymore [at which point you can manually remove it]. Unfortunately Belvedere doesn't yet remember files it's performed actions on [it's a feature we may add at some point in the future], so we'll have to settle for moving at this point.)
Use Dropbox to Add Music Remotely

As coincidence would have it, this guide found its way into my newsreader last night while I was working on this very feature; the MakeUseOf author suggests remotely adding songs to your iTunes library with Dropbox using a very similar method. Basically you'd create a folder inside Dropbox (he uses iTunes Temp
), monitor that folder for new music, and automatically move any new tunes to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. Using Dropbox, you could add songs to your home iTunes library from any computer—even from work.
The methods I use in the examples above will still work with Dropbox, but the author's setup uses an Automator action that Mac users may want to consider trying. (Similarly, a MUO reader suggests using a previously highlighted method for syncing files and folders outside of Dropbox—creating a symlink between your iTunes Temp
Dropbox folder and the monitored iTunes folder—to streamline the process even more. The upshot: A lot of roads lead to Syncville.)

How To Add Torrent With Magnet
If for some reason iTunes has a tough time adding something you've put in the Automatically Add to iTunes
folder, you'll see a new folder inside that folder named Not Added
. It contains date-stamped folders of the stuff that didn't make it through the import. In my experience, however, the only stuff that doesn't make the cut is album art and other items that weren't meant to go in that folder anyway, and I haven't had any problems with the items I've added using my automated method.
