HT1491 How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

There are two kinds of content, streaming and downloaded. If your show is a streaming show you have to be on the internet to view it. (akin to you not being able to watch youtube videos without being on the net)
Downloaded files can be watched anytime (within the constraints of the DRM of course)

    Hi Miriam1972,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes on your laptop to download the tv shows for viewing. See this article for the steps to download the shows:

  • How many times can I watch a TV Show I've purchased?

    If I buy a season of The Rachel Zoe Project and have it streamed directly to my HD TV, how many times can I watch any given episode.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As many as you want.

  • TS3354 can i watch purchased movies/tv on my netbook without being connected to the internet ?

    Is it possible to watch purchased TV/Films whilst not connected to internet .?

    Why can't you use both your USB ports at the same time?  If the dongle is a bit fat, a bit of jiggling might work, it doesn't necessarily have to be all the way in.  Hold it still though.  I don't know of any way to update the software without an internet connection, sorry.

  • Can't download purchased tv shows to original iPad

    Cant download purchased tv shows to original iPad.  Sitting in download queue but won't download.

    I had my iTunes set to manually update instead of automatically update. I decided to try changing it to set it to automatically sync. Nothing amazing happened then, but the next time that I plugged my iPod into my computer, it started syncing, then a box came up that said "a new version of iPod software 1.2.2 (or something like that)". I said YES, download and install! And VOILA! It works! Huzzah! Tell all your friends!
    The bad thing of course is that by automatically updating, I lost some of my songs from my old hard drive, but it was worth it.
    Good luck.

  • How can I watch purchased TV shows on my analog TV?

    Is there any practical way to watch the TV shows I have purchased from the iTunes store on my analog TV?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe AppleTV is an option for me because it outputs to digital TVs, only, right?
    I am willing to go either wired or wireless, given the following restraints:
    My analog TV has the following inputs (only):
    F connection - coaxial
    Composite video - yellow RCA plug
    My desktop G4 and my TV are about 35-40 ft apart by air (two walls in between), or 50 ft by wire.
    *Wireless options:*
    My Mac presently has no wireless capability, but I could add either an original AirPort card (11b) or a PCI wireless card (11g).
    *Does anyone know of a wireless box that will connect to my analog TV and receive wirelessly transmitted iTunes content?*
    I also have a digital-to-analog converter for digital broadcast TV - any way to use that to convert AppleTV output to analog?
    *Wired options:*
    My video card (ATI 9200 flashed for Mac) has S-video out, and I have an S-video-to-RCA adaptor.
    The cheapest and simplest option looks like 50 ft of RCA cable.
    *Does anyone know if 50 ft run of RCA cable is doable for video and audio?*
    My G4 also has an ethernet port, presently in use for my DSL modem, but I believe I could free up that connection if there is an ethernet solution that will connect to my TV.
    Thanks,

    Wouldn't it be great if I could just burn a DVD and pop it into the DVD player connected to my TV? I know, I know ... but wouldn't it be great?

    I failed to mention it - but yes, my TV does have the red and white RCA plugs for audio in addition to the yellow one for video.
    The video-capable iPod is a good idea, but I just got a Shuffle (gift), and would be reluctant to buy a second iPod at this time. In addition to the initial cost of the iPod, I have read the cable needed for video-out can be expensive for some models.
    I may have found an easy solution, though not as cheap and reliable as I had hoped. While looking for 50 ft of composite video/audio cable (not in stock at Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy), I made an impulse purchase: the Terk "TV Anywhere" model LF-30S - a wireless solution.
    Unfortunately, it's a 2.4 GH device, the same as my cordless phone, which causes serious interference - a common complaint about this product. With my phone unplugged, the video looks OK on my TV. I haven't yet heard the audio, because I needed another adaptor to go from 1/8" headphone jack to red/white RCA.
    Pending the results of further testing, I haven't decided if I will keep the TV Anywhere or return it. A hard wire would be half the price, but would require drilling holes in my hardwood floors for basement cable routing - but if I get any audio hiss or pops from the wireless, that's what I'll do.

  • TS1424 Can't watch Purchased TV shows

    I purchased the second season of "The American Horror Story" and I can't watch some of the episodes.

    I had the same problem, but then i uninstalled quicktime 7.5.5 and then reinstalled it using a new download of just quicktime 7.5.5 for windows from apple.com. all seems to be working fine now. this was a really annoying problem, as i had just downloaded new tv shows!

  • I can't download purchased TV shows to my iPad

    Hi,
    Hope someone can help, this is driving me up the wall...
    I purchased a TV series in iTunes on my iMac. I'm going away and want to transfer this show to my iPad. I first tried syncing it from the mac to the iPad but its in a different format (m4v not mp4) so I'm guessing thats why it didn't work.,
    If I got the the itunes store on the iPad I can see the show under 'purchased', the cloud icon is next to it but is greyed out, I tap it and nothing happens. I've checked that there are no age restrictions set on the iPad, they are all disabled. How the **** can I get this on the iPad? Strangely I can download it on my iPhone using the same method, but I don't want it on there.
    Why they make it so god **** fiddly to do such a simple thing is beyond me.
    Furthermore, I added a few movies that I converted to mp4 myself, that all went ok, then I realised I'd forgotten one so added that to itunes, selected it and transferred that over. All the other movies then vanished and were replace by the new one?? What the **** is going on? I check in the summary tab 'manually manage music and videos', hit apply, sync them over, when I go back to the summary the box is now unchecked again?
    I've had Apple stuff for years but when you end up spending hours of your life trying to solve ridiculous problems that shouldn't happen in the first place I'm seriously thinking of jumping ship.
    Thanks

    There is a 50 meg download limit per file over 3G/4G, so if they are larger than that then you will need to find a wifi network - the limit can only be raised by Apple with the agreement of the phone companies.

  • HT4623 My iPad is not connecting to internet after software update what can i do

    Hi everyone I just update the software 7.0.4 on my iPad 2 and after doing that cannot connect to internet, can somebody tell me
    what to do to correct this issue? Please 

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If yes you can try resetting your Network Settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note that you will have to re-enter all of your WiFI passwords.

  • How can I watch purchased itunes shows on my tv w/o apple tv?

    I bought the Futurama season pass and I want to watch the episodes in 50 inch HD, but I don't have apple tv and myimac is too far from the tv for a cable so how can I do this?
    I have a google tv box that will talk to my pc laptop, and an xbox 360 with a program called xbox connect that tricks the xbox into thinking my imac is a pc so i can stream music and videos but i cant get purchased itunes videos.
    can i authorize the pc laptop on my itunes account and copy the shows to it and then play them on the google tv box via the pc? (im at work and i cant just try it myself)

  • HT5858 How come i can't take video any more with my Ipad after the last update

    Howcome I can't take video anymore with my Ipad, after the last update

    What happens when you try to take videos ? In the Camera app you should be able to slide the Video / Photo / Square options so that Video option lines up with the yellow dot to their left - does that not work ?
