Buying TV show seasons

I have been buying individual episodes of Terra Nova and want to buy the rest of the season so I don't have to deal with getting them individually. I don't want to hit "buy season" for whatever the price is and have it purchase the entire season over again of what I already have. Is there any way to buy just the rest of the season or do I need to keep getting the individual episodes?

There is no complete a season feature.
You either have to buy the entire season or buy the individual episodes.
Sorry

ITunes TV Show Season Pass Issues - How is it working for you?

I love iTunes Season passes. I love letting a show accumulate without worrying about storms, sports messing up recording times, power outages, storage of my DVR, etc... The shows are always going to be there to watch. However for well over a year ago Apple removed the new TV Show episodes from coming via the Check Available Downloads option. Since then we have had a plethera of options presented to us. However I continue to have mixed results. I have tried using my Apple Care to get support. But since its more like a cloud or iTunes issue, they send me to the web which is nothing but email support. Email support suggests these 4 methods. 3 out of the 4 rarely work for me in a reliable or timely way. I am looking for those who have the same issues/challenges and understand if you have found a better way or even a root cause why I am getting these results.
First method is using the email notifications you can turn on when you manage your season pases via iTunes Account inside the iTunes application. You click the email link, it launches Safari, Safari launches iTunes, in a few seconds you get a "Cancel" or "Download" pop up in iTunes. You click download and it will download the show. You must repeat this for each email notification/show... daily. It can be hap hazard as the notifications sometimes come at 2am and others throughout the next day.
Second method is going to iTunes store in iTunes, click on TV Shows, Click on Purchased... and there you can select "not on this computer" to see what episodes are new and not downloaded yet. This is actually fairly straight forward and easier than the email links. However I am having an issue where even though I have the notification, the show does not show up in my purchases. If I switch over to "shows" vs "seasons" I see the episodes from all my email notifications. But generally only the behind the scense have the icloud download icon. (see attached screen shot) The work around is to go to the TV show page itself for that season, scroll and use the download button there for each new epiosde you have not downloaded. This is probably now less optimal than the email.
Third method is to enable "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" via iTunes Preferences. I dread it evertime its suggested I try this. When I enable this option, all shows and movies marked as "unwatched" get marked as "watched." Right now, I have a large number of episodes unwatched right now. So it would be ALOT to clean up to try it again. When I have used this, its by far the easiest to use (besides the former retired "check for available downloads" option. You just go to your TV Shows in your library, unwatched tab, and just click the download icons. You dont even have to leave your library. However there seems to be a bug. I suspect it has something to do with my machine sleeping and the internet connection dropping and not re-establishing before iTunes is trying to reconnect. The end result is the iTunes in the cloud preference disappears or gets completely reset.... and it totally messes with your unwatched and watched shows. I have showed it to an Apple Care rep as they were connected to my machine. They couldnt believe it. So I would REALLY love to know if anyone has tried this method recently and NOT had these issues. Its a good hour of work if it does not work cleaning up the after math. So feedback would be welcome.
Fourth option is instead of downloading, stream it. This is not my preferred method because I sometimes will rewatch an episode multipe times due to distractions from work, shool, or re-watching it later with a friend to catch them up. Once I have it downloaded, the critial path is limited to my home network. However I never really have issues with long buffering and streaming because I have a 50mps up/downlink internet. The issue I am running into this method is sometimes the newest episode is not showing up in AppleTV > TV Shows > Purchases > Recent for that TV Show and Season. It will eventually make it there... but I am not sure what the secret sauce is for it to become available.
I am doing my best to keep this to a civil request for feedback from fellow users and fans of the TV Show Season Passes. I would even welcome an Apple response. I am currently trying to get iTunes support to look into these again. But I keep getting looped into one of the four options with each email exchange.... even though I have already explain, provided screen shots, etc... Its sort of exhausting when you are stuck with email as your only path to explain and help. Especially when you spent the money on Apple Care. Perhaps I need to just make an apppointment at my Apple store so I can SHOW them what happens. But that is a pain to lug in a 27" iMac and a 6TB thunderbolt drive. FEEDBACK welcome!

Hi,
I'm having the same problem on Windows and Mac, neither automatically download episodes from any of my season passes, nor do they find it when I select "Check for available downloads," it informs me all episodes have been downloaded for my Apple ID, which in fact they have not.
I have to find the episode in my Library(which shows all available episodes on my computer and in the iTunes Store) and from there I have to manually click to download. I tried deauthorizing all my computers and reauthorizing just one computer, and that didn't work either. I also deleted my other device(iPad) from the "iTunes in the Cloud" just in case there was some issue associated with that, and that didn't work either.
It’s sad that the iTunes rep didn't really "listen" to what you said. I find this happens at many other companies too. They often are trying to fit your problem into some prepared script or solution, or they are distracted or in a hurry and don't actually read or listen fully to an even well defined account of the problem.
Best of luck to us all! Hope they fixed it soon.

HT5552 How can I use an iTunes gift card to buy tv shows on my iPod touch?

Or do I need to buy the tv shows on a computer, with an iTunes gift card?
Is it possible to buy the shows on my iPod touch?
Thank you.

If you've redeemed the card into your account then you should be able to buy items where you use that account - so your iPod or computer's iTunes
Redeeming a card : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries (and even where they can be there is no guarantee that they will remain in a country's store for future redownloading) so it may be easier to do it on your computer's iTunes and then sync them (and so that you can take a backup)

How can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?

how can I buy tv shows from Jordanian iTunes store?
I have used a local visa card and I cannot buy movies or tv shows on Apple TV as I get a message saying that I have to buy them from the Jordanian iTunes store!!

It does seem a bit off that the rules are that stringent....
This is not a decision made by Apple.
It is made by the copyright holding music or television companies and is part of the contract with the recording artist or program producer. They make the decision as to what territories are distributed to and what territories are left out.

I can no longer purchase music directly from the Apple TV. I can still buy TV shows and movies but no music.....

I can no longer purchase music directly from the Apple TV. I can still buy TV shows and movies but no music.....my iTunes match is there.

ITunes TV show Season Pass is NOT downloading newly available episodes

Problem: iTunes TV show Season Pass is NOT downloading newly available episodes even though new content is fully available on iTunes Store for purchase as single episodes
I purchased Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday 10/11. The 1st episode, called "Growing Pains," aired on the evening of Thursday 10/11 and has been available since approx. 2 am EST Friday 10/12 for purchase/download on the iTunes Store, but it is NOT automatically downloading to my iTunes account even though I repeatedly click "Check for Available Downloads." The button to purchase the single episode in the iTunes Store is activated, meaning anyone can purchase that individual episode for $2.99, but I paid for the whole Season Pass and I can't retrieve this single episode.
My iTunes is NOT recognizing that there is an Episode 1 available for download. I rebooted my Mac, restarted iTunes, logged into the iTunes store to click on "Purchased" content and try to force a download, all to no avail -- the screen listing the episodes available for download under my Purchased account fails to list Episode 1 of this TV show. It as though this Episode is invisible to my iTunes account/download queue. Yet, Episode 1 is sitting on the iTunes Store server and has been there for the past day.
I have clearly identified this problem to Apple Customer Service and they did not seem to intially understand my problem. They told me that it takes a few days for TV networks to make an episode available to the iTunes store, and therefore I should wait for a few days -- this totally misses the issue! The premiere episode has already been provided by the TV network to iTunes, and is available now on the iTunes Store. The problem is a technological server-side one, where for some reason my iTunes download queue is not picking up on the fact that there is new, pre-paid content available for download.
Please help if you experienced similar issues with your Season Pass. I bought a Season Pass for last year and it worked without any problems -- all episodes aired on Thursday nights and were downloaded by 2 or 3 am Friday morning. I am thinking of cancelling/refunding the Season Pass, and just paying for Hulu+ instead of waiting around hoping for Customer Service to finally read my email and DO something instead of telling me to "wait a few days."
Below is my email thread with Customer Service. I can't believe there is no longer phone support to talk to a live person, who should be able to reset my download queue -- or do something on the server-side -- easily.

Hello [     ], I apologized for any inconvenience this issue has caused. I reviewed your account and it appears that episode is not yet posted on your account.

Thanks. The problem is, this Episode "Growing Pains" IS already available
on iTunes for individual purchase for $2.99, and has been available since 2
am EST last night. The issue isn't its availability from the TV network --
it's the Season Pass queue for downloads not recognizing that this episode
should be downloaded.

Is there any way to buy tv shows from the uk iTunes when I live in Ireland?

Buying TV shows from Canada

Hiya,
I am in Canada and have created an iTunrs store account. I cannot see the TV show option unless I change the country to the US. When I try to buy a TV show I get a message telling me that my Canadian account is no good for US. So my dilemna is I cannot buy TV shows.
any ideas....
Doug

TV shows are only offered in some countries, drnoca.
We can't buy them from the iTunes store in Australia, either.
I'd guess that Apple simply don't have the necessary agreements with the Canadian rights holders.
The only solution AFAIK would be to buy them from the US store using an account with a US credit card address.

Buying TV Shows from Swiss site?

Hi,
New to this! I've noticed that it is possible to buy TV shows & Movies from the US ITunes store, but since I live in Switzerland, I can't....
Is there anyways that I could get this? Or are there plans from Apple to allow UK or Swiss sites to purchase TV shows?
Many thanks
Peter

Whether or not TV content becomes available in the Swiss store is up to the Swiss copyright holders for TV content. Until they contract with Apple for distribution, there is nothing Apple can do. The major movie studios, so far, have not allowed Apple to distribute film content internationally, either.

Why is How I Met Your Mother Season 3 "Episode Only" when every other season has the option to buy the entire season?

Why is How I Met Your Mother Season 3 "Episode Only" when every other season has the option to buy the entire season?
Seems rather unfair to pay nearly £40 for each individual episode when each other season has the option to buy the entire season for £9.99 (including seasons after season 3)

Just recieved this from iTunes Store Support:
Missy here. I am a Senior Advisor from the iTunes Store. Your request has been escalated to me by Irish.
I understand you have some concerns regarding the numbering of the episodes for "How I Met Your Mother, Season 3". I can certainly appreciate your concerns and I'm happy to offer some additional information about this.
Episode 17, is a music video that accompanies the episode "Sandcastles In the Sand" however it is not available on the UK iTunes Store. This is why 17 has been omitted.
Apple is constantly expanding the iTunes Store's catalog of music, audiobooks, videos, and movies. To ensure that your request is considered, please submit it through the Request page at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
This solves the issue. I have filed a request to get the music video added to the iTunes which hopefully it does, completing Season 3 of How I Met Your Mother.

I downloaded a TV show season and when it finished downloading only a third of the episodes can be watched and the others have the icloud symbo next to them and i cant watch them. What should I do?

I downloaded a TV show season on Itunes and when I went to watch it, only a third of the episodes would play and the others had the icloud symbol next to them and would not play. Any ideas one what could be wrong?

Hey Jerry130,
Thanks for the question. This simply means that the episodes are not currently stored on your computer. They were successfully purchased, however are stored in the cloud. You can download the episodes by clicking the cloud icon:

Has anyone else had a "buy pedicure" show up in reminders

This morning a "buy pedicure" showed up in reminders on my iphone. I did not put it there. I don't get pedicures. Did some app place it there or was my phone hacked?

Hello John, thanks for your reply, sorry if my post is unclear, I will try to explain it a bit more precisely.
Regarding your reply, I wonder if that may be the problem that a colour has been previously been created by clicking on the colour in the tool box rather than creating a swatch. I have only recently started at the company so was not involved in the creation of the original documents so that could be the case.
Basically several documents have been created for a client by different employees, these have then been repeated over many different pieces of artwork. It was recently discovered that some printed copies had come out a different shade of grey to the others.
So every time we use a previous piece of artwork or create something new we need to ensure the grey is the correct CMYK breakdown to match their corporate standards.
The issue is with the background colour which is created using the rectangle frame tool, filled with a solid grey and then using a gradiant feather to make it fade to white. Why this wasn't done using the gradiant tool I dont know and perhaps this is the problem?
So when opening old documents to check the colour this is when the problem occurs as we click on the box and no colour shows up in the swatch pallette, I have created a colour swatch, closed the document and on re-opening the document the same thing occurs.
We have a large quantity of documents that need to be checked and we need a precise and accurate way of ensuring the gradiant colour is correct for future use.
Is there any preference to using a solid colour and feather or the gradiant tool?
And any advice as to why the issue with the swatch pallette would happen would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time, Jackie

As long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use your balance to gift content) then your account's balance should be used up first before any remainder is charged to your card.
