Bought a TV show through iTunes, can't find it on iPad2 w/iOS5

Hi,
I bought a TV show through iTunes before upgrading to iOS5, it shows up as "Downloaded" (so can't buy it again) in iTunes on the iPad2 with iOS5, but it is nowhere to be found -- not in Downloads, or Purchased, or ....
Ideas?
Thanks,
Marv

Re-downloading TV shows is currently only available in the US : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Before updating to iOS 5 did you copy all your purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases ? If you did then you should be able to sync it back to the iPad.

  • Bought new HD and now iTunes can't find my music

    I just bought a new FW HD, WD My Passport. I copied all of my music from my old USB 2.0 HD to the new one and now iTunes can't find all the songs. It'll play probably 40 or 50 songs but the rest of them show the "!" next to the song name. Right now the only thing I can do to show iTunes where the songs are without having to rebuild my playlists is to manually point it to each individual song but since but that would mean pointing it to over 14,000 songs......... I DID go in to the preferences and changed the folder location to the new HD and it still won't find the files. But strangely enough, when I have the old HD plugged in, as well as the new one, it'll play everything just fine, checking the preferences shows that iTunes is pointed to the new folder but "Get Info" on individual tracks shows iTunes finding the file in the old HD, unplug old HD and files cannot be found. Why doesn't the **** program look where I want it to and what do I have to do to fix it? I know my description here isn't crystal clear so I'll gladly answer any question to help clear it up a little. ANY help is very much appreciated as I do not want to spend the next 3 weeks teaching iTunes one song at a time. Thank you.

    For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

    I have purchased and downloaded some TV Shows through iTunes. How can I watch them on my iPad without an internet connection?

    Demo the same thing happened to me.  I purchased a seasons pass for Sons of Anarchy Season 6 and I've got the eposides on my IPad but Airplay won't allow me to watch the episodes without an internet connection or WiFi.  Is there anything else I can do so that I can watch these eposides without an internet or wifi connections?

  • Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!

    Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

  • I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased that was supposed to be in the cloud. There are several of these, including an entire season. In the store it shows that I purchased these shows when I checked them.

    I get itunes can't find file when I tried to play a TV show I had purchased. I then checked and had this problem with an entire TV season I had purchesed. The shows were supposed to be in the cloud. I went to the itunes store, went to the tv shows and they showed that I had purchesed them. They do not show up when I click on purchesed in the store.

    Try this...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • If you rent a movie through iTunes can you watch the movie on your iPad if you are not connected to internet or 3g

    If you rent a movie through iTunes, can you watch the movie on your iPad if you not in an area that does not have wifi or 3G access?  Such as on an airplane, etc...

    Yes - as long as the movie has totally and fully downloaded onto the iPad.

  • Itunes can't find purchased tv shows

    I purchased some comedy central stand up episodes and it was playing fine on itunes and my ipod but now itunes can not find the files. I have not deleted the files and do not know where they are. I have looked in My Music/itunes/itunes music/tv shows/comedy central with no results. I have had this problem before with some music videos and had to purchase them again. Is there anything I can do to retrieve them without having to purchase them again?

    Yes, funny, I had to restore my ipod, then it all downloaded. Just a quirk i guess. Thanks.

  • Now signed up for Icloud - bought song through Itunes but cant find folder for this on Imac!!!

    Now signed up for Icloud - bought song through Itunes but cant find folder on Imac pc - is this correct - this is my first ever apple pc and not sure about folders etc - very different from Windows 7 which I was using

    In the absence of any replies, I'd forgotten that I'd posted here, but I did manage to sort out the problem eventually.
    I forget all the steps involved, and possibly some which may be pertinent, but in essence somewhere in the iCloud signup procedure I'd clicked something that told Address Book to upload to the Cloud, and otherwise remain invisible on the Mac.  Tinkering with the Address Book preference settings eventually restored the Contacts list to my iPhone.

  • Moved my iTunes library to my new 2TB time capsule, now iTunes can't find the Time Capsule.

    Had my iTunes library on my older 1TB Time Capsule. Just bought a 2TB Time Capsule. Moved all the music from the old to the new. But, iTunes tells me now it can't find the server. I've checked the location of the library on the iTunes preferences, to point iTunes to my server. I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't find my server. I've already added the folder on the server to my login preferences, like it was with the older Time Capsule.
    I did everything exactly as before but now iTunes can't find my Time Capsule.
    Should I have just pointed the login to the server and not the exact folder? I've been working on the solution for an hour now.. Please, can someone here help me?

    What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

  • ITunes can't find any of my songs now that I upgraded to 7.6

    Did the upgrade last night and when I opened it today to play music, all my songs are marked with a "!" and iTunes can't find them. I suspect I may need to reimport them but then I'll have duplicates which I'll need to go through and delete. Is there another way? Thanks.

    When you create a smart playlist there is a checkbox so you can select only checked songs. So you could make a playlist easily by matching the rules of date added. If you sort your itunes music folder by date then you can see the start and end dates you will need for the playlist.
    Once done, check its all alright, and then edit the smartlist (right-click the name in the left bar) and un-check live updating so it won't automatically change itself if you check/un-check more.

  • Apps on iDevices, but iTunes can't find them

    I sync both an iPhone and iPad via iTunes on a Mac. There are a number of Apps I use on both devices that show in iTunes grey-ed out. When I double click on them a dialog box shows up that says iTunes can't find the App, would I like to locate it. It is not in my Mobile Apps folder. What happened? Where do I find it? The iTunes App Store shows that I have purchased and downloaded the apps. How can I get them back into iTunes... and not lose any data that's in them?

    Follow the instructions here or here.

  • ITunes can't find any episodes on my feed.

    I recently started my podcast back up under a new host (libsyn), and I followed every step and uploaded two episodes. I go to submit my RSS feed to iTunes and I get the "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed" error. I test my feed on feedvalidator.org and get:
    Sorry
    This feed does not validate.
    line 9, column 8: link must be a full and valid URL: [help] <link></link>
            ^
    line 12, column 8: docs must be a full and valid URL: [help] <docs></docs>
            ^
    line 18, column 21: link must be a full and valid URL: [help]               <link><![CDATA[]]></link>
                         ^
    I have also tried the "subscribe to podcast" thing in iTunes and all it shows is the name of my show but it can't find any episodes. I don't know what else to do here.
    The link to my feed is http://weekendfriends.libsyn.com/rss

    To fix the issues with the link - you need to go into your libsyn account in libsyn4
    mouse over settings - and then select edit show settings - and make sure to put a full URL in for the website link.
    And then per Rogers comments above - you need to removed your wma file and upload an mp3 file.
    Here is a link to a full tutorial on using the libsyn UI and getting started.
    http://traffic.libsyn.com/lilith/podcast101_140311c.pdf
    Chapter 7 covers libsyn UI -  but also look at the chapter on creating an MP3 file - chapter 5.

  • ITunes can't find or create the iTunes Folder (in Vista). SOMEBODY HELP ME!

    I have installed iTunes in my Windows Vista but i can't run it because it appears an error showing: iTunes can't find or create the iTunes folder. This folder is usually located in My Music Folder.
    The problem is that I erased the original folder "my music" from my computer and even if I create another "my music" folder and I put in the iTunes folder, the program doesen't work.
    Please help me!
    Thanks very much.

    The problem is that iTunes uses a registry entry to find the location of the Music folder and it is not correctly set.
    Apple offer this help for Windows XP, however it requires a utility called TweakUI and Miscrosoft haven't released a version for Vista. I found this link for an alternative, but I know nothing about it so I don't like to recommend it:
    http://www.totalidea.com/content/tweakvi/tweakvi-index.html
    As alternative to this you may be able to do the following as a work around:
    Hold down the shift key, keep it held down and start iTunes. You should be asked to choose or create a library. Choose create and navigate to where you want your iTunes folder - usually in your Music folder.
