Buying and downloading a TV show problem on iTunes.

I have downloaded music, books, movies and TV shows in the past. Now when trying to buy and download an episode of a new TV show (episode 7) a message window appears that reads "This item cannot be downloaded on this network. To download use a WIFI network or download to a computer." Its frustrating because I am on a securely locked WiFi network using my MacbookPro (10.6 8). I tried on my iPad2 (5.1 3G & WiFi) as well and get the same message. I would love some help to correct this problem. I'm not tech savvy so simple explanations would be appreciated. I can't understand why this should occur all of a sudden when I had no problem in the past. I did this message once when I was using 3G without the WiFi. Once I connected to WiFi it worked great. Now being both connected to WiFi and using my computer I'm getting this message each time I try to buy and download.

I'm new to this forum so am not sure how to add a new note yet but I found a string of folks who had the same problem after I posted mine. After following the conversation it seems this could be an Apple problem so totally out of our control. Can only hope they are able to sort it out quickly. I really liked the information chain I was able to follow so I thank "Inksmith" and all who replied to that message. Seems It's a waiting issue now. Thanks to all who added their info.

  • My existing purchases have INSTALL next to them, but when I try click on them it says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)". I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works). Any idea

    Hi - in the app store, I've logged in with no problem, but when I go into my existing purchases and have INSTALL next to everything I've bought, and try to click on them it says;
    "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)".
    I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works), and also buying and downloading more music from iTunes too (so I update all T&C's etc too, and update all payment info). But nothing seems to solve this. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot, Greg

  • I have registered with and validated click and buy but it is not showing on my itunes account

    I have registered with and validated click and buy but it is not showing on my itunes account???

    In iTunes these should theoretically be available on the iTunes Store home page.
    On the right of that page under Quick Links find Purchased section (if available for your country) and then choose the TV Show category and choose to download there - it doesn't happen automatically.
    If not in US you won't be able to redownload movies (yet anyway).
    If a title is not available there are reasons for this but you'd expect it to be if you've only just bought it.
    Actually I prefer buying in iTunes - I bought some TV episodes on AppleTV but cannot complete my season in iTunes - maybe i can't for that show (support were useless) but I do wonder if it's because the purchase was made on ATV.

  • Can I buy and download adobe premiere pro at home and then use that DMG to install it in my office?

    Have just purchased a beast of a Mac Pro. Will be using this for editing a feature film. Problem is I need to buy and download Adobe Premiere Pro.  My internet speed in the office is abysmal and it would take forever to download. Thats why I was thinking of downloading the software at home, and then using that DMG file to install on the Mac Pro in office. Is this possible? Will appreciate any help at all.
    Thanks!

    You can download the Enterprise Deployment packages and install them, but you still need to install the CC app in the first place.

  • Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

    Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

    You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
    These are the terms of the itunes store.

    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?

    A creative Cloud membership provides you with the ability to have installations on different platforms, Windows and Mac.  And since you are allowed to have two working installations, you can have one of each.

  • Where can I buy and download a legal copy of Audition 3.01?

    I can't find it on this Adobe site. Everthing I search on this site, or get sent to from a google search, sends me to the new CS5.5 or whatever new software. I don't want all that, and too many functions have been discontinued. I just want audio, having used CooEdit Pro and other Audition versions with previous computers. I'm now returning to audio work. I can't find anything about buying v. 3 here. On google searches, I find plenty of places that claim to be selling 3, but I doubt the legitimacy of them. They're weird sites trying to shove other software at me. Amazon says v. 3 is no longer in stock. Can someone tell me where I can legimately buy and download 3--and get any updates? I have Vista 32 and meet the system requirements for 3. Thanks.

    I appreciate the effort, but the snideness is uncalled for, especially since you're wrong.
    Doing what you said brings the results
    Adobe Audition CS5.5 by Adobe (DVD-ROM - May 22, 2011) - Windows 7 / Vista / XP
    Buy new: $349.00 $336.00,.
    I said I didn't want CS5.5, I want Audtion 3.
    It also says
    Audition 3.0 Windows by Adobe Software (DVD-ROM) - Windows XP Professional
    Currently unavailable
    like i said in my message. I agree that Amazon is a legitimate vendor.

  • What does it mean on itunes to reset all warnings for buying and downloading

    on itunes, what does it mean to "reset all warnings for buying and downloading"

    After you click to make a purchase there can be another pop-up asking to confirm your actions and warning that you playment option will be charged. This box has a "Do not ask me again" option which you may have selected at some point. Reset all warnings should make such suppressed warnings appear once again.

  • Hi. My wife and I both have iPads. Can we share Apps or do we have to buy and download them on each one? Same for music...

    Can you share Apps between two iPads or do you have to buy and download on each? Same for music...

    If you each sign into your account in the iTunes Store in the iTunes app on your computer, you can go to Store/Authorize This Computer in the menubar and authorize the computer to use everthing that you purchase and download from your account. Those items should then sync and work on each others individual iPads.
    Just remember that if an app that you bought needs to be updated, you will need to log into your iTunes Store account to update it. Her account cannot be used to update your purchases and vice versa.
    You can each authorize up to five computers to use the media and apps purchased from your individual iTunes Store accounts.
