Can't access purchased season pass tv show on apple tv

I have ATV 2 and just today for first time purchased the Breaking Bad season 5 season pass.
When I go to my 'purchased' tab under tv shows (on apple tv) it just gives me a 'can't access itunes store...try again later' message.
If I go to iTunes on my macbook pro, also cannot access purchased tab for tv shows.
Not sure what I need to do. So frustrating. How do I watch the shows that I paid >$20 for?
Thank you for help.

Its looking like the store is down right now. I know 3 or 4 people have said that on here and I have checked with about 5 or 6 people I know and were all having the same issue. Hopefully it doesnt last much longer mine has been doing it for about 6 hours now.

Contact whoever you got it from. If they can't or won't remove the lock, get your money back. If they won't do that, or you can't contact them, turn it over to the police. It's probably stolen.
There is no way to bypass the activation lock.

Purchased season pass in SD. trying to download but SD button not working

purchased season pass to tv show in SD when i try to download clicking on SD button won't work

I found a way around it...
1. Go to iTunes Store
2. Click your Apple id (top left)
3. Click Account
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom click "Purchased" (it's under Features)
5. Navigate to whatever you downloaded:
if you downloaded a TV Show. Click TV Show at the top. Choose the show in the left. Then click the season and you can download it from there.
I know it shouldn't be this hard. But this is the solution I've found till apple can fix the glitch.

Upgraded to iTunes 10.2.1 and can't get new season pass episodes

After downloading and installing iTunes 10.2.1, I have stopped receiving emails for season passes. More frustrating is that even though I see that the most recent episodes are available in the iTunes store, iTunes is telling me that all purchases have been downloaded for this account. I checked my account settings and it still shows that I have season passes and that they are still active. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. It tells me that I cannot download them but that they will be available later. But they should have all come on Friday/Saturday. Definitely a big bug with this as I have 4 season passes. What gives Apple????

HT2736 Can I give a season pass as a gift?

Can I give a season pass as a gift? It appears that I can give the specific episodes of a show, but not a season pass to the show. If I cannot give a season pass, why not? Is there some reason Apple will let me buy one for myself, but not someone else (apart from 'we dropped the ball')?

Yes you can switch. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, I just changed from Canada to US even though I had an active season pass and iTunes Match. Call Apple support and they will help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
My season pass and Match account have been cancelled by the way, I have to pay again to re-open these.

On my new iPhone, at the Apps store, I tried to make a purchase, the popup screen shows my Apple ID and asks for my password, but no keyboard appears so that I can enter the password. How do I get the keyboard to appear??

On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Can I access my itunes library from a different apple tv

Can I access my itunes library through my parents apple tv? I would like to show them photos from my library.

Not unless the iTunes library is on your parent's local network.
If it is, then configure iTunes and AppleTV to use the same Home Sharing Credentials, and set up Photos to Share under the iTunes Advanced tab.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

I've tried everything but can't access iTunes store from my ipad. Apple ID is fine and logged in to iTunes on pc. Still no luck. Anyone any other alternatives? Thx.

You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HT4539 how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc

how to move my purchased movies and tv shows from apple tv to pc or to nas drive because my apple tv storage is full

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you try restarting the router.
Are you trying to watch them from the internet or a library on a computer.

How come a season pass tv show, purchased on my iPad, auto load on my iMac, but cannot load on the iPad?

Hi,
I bought Whale Wars on my iPad. I bought a season pass sd version. It no longer appears on my iPad. It auto loads on my iMac. I cannot sync it from my iMac to my iPad. I can view it on my iPad only by sharing with my iMac. but there is a sync of a different year of this show even though I did not set it to sync. Maybe it was guilty.
I also bought Ice Road Truckers on my iPad. It downloads after authentication to my iPad, but it is displaying two separate IRT icons.
Flying Wild Alaska does the same with two separate icons.
The crab fishing show, Dangerous Catch appears under four separate and equal icons.
This is getting frustrated.
I have restored the iPad. No change. I restored the iPad as a new iPad and the tv show problem persisted. I restored it back.
Any ideas out there.

Hi,
It is me again. A week has gone by. I got an email saying Whale Wars was ready for download. Click here. Did that. The process asked for my password three times. It then showed it would download Whale Wars and then Flying Wild Alaska to my iPad.
It took the right amount of time to load to my iPad and then it started to load Flying Wild Alaska. But where did it put it?
Under videos there was no icon for Whale Wars. There were four icons for the Deadliest Catch, two icons for Ice Road Truckers, two icons for Flying Wild Alaska, and one icon for Mountain.
I went to the shared menu. There was no icon Whale Wars Season 5. In place was an Ice Road Trucker Icon that had Whale Wars Season 5 but not the latest show.
Flying Wild Alaska did load on the iPad and it played.
So I synced the iPad. With a number of spinning circles of death which iTunes solved all but the last one it kind of synced but it did not synch the latest show of Whale Wars. I had to force close iTunes and resynch. This time it synced the show. Now the show is on my iPad but no icon and I cannot see it. The show is on my iMac but it will not let me synch it back to my iPad. I can view the show under a shared selection on my iPad but if I walk out of wifi range forget it.
Any ideas out there?
Thank you,
John Ross

Auto-download season pass TV show episode to Apple TV

Is there a way where I can set Apple TV to auto-download the latest episode of a TV show that I bought a season pass for?
The reason I need this is because, when I try to stream it, depending on the network speed, sometimes it takes a long time. So I have to set it to stream and then pause it in order to let it load up before playing it. I've noticed that network speed is much faster during the day when everyone is at work (so am I) so would love it if Apple TV downloads the latest episode and it is ready to play when I come home.

But it must have some storage because I do play the episode, pause it to let it download at least halfway before I play it. So technically, it is not streaming it the way Netflix or Hulu does.
Correct.
The black AppleTVs have 8GB of solid state memory.
Whereas Netflix adapts quality downwards for slower connections, iTunes purchases/rentals are fixed size and quality for given resolutions (SD, 720p/1080p), so if your internet is slower than needed to play near instantly some/most/all of the movie will 'buffer' into that 8GB of memory, and the device calculates when enough has arrived to allow it to play without interruption.
The problem is that using AppleTV while a movie is buffering to do other things almost always flushes that buffe/downloaded portion without warning - forcing it to start from scratch when you decide to try to play. The memory management is simply poor for slow connections -Apple assume everyone has fast/unlimited broadband. The AppleTV1 was much better in this regard because it actually had proper storage and could hold several rentals.

Seasons pass TV show HD + Standard Def versions?

I recently purchased an HD seasons pass of the current AMC series "The Killing" It wants to download both the HD and standard definition versions of each episode. I placed all the standard def shows on hold in the download queue so that I'm only downloading the HD versions.
Is there a setting somewhere to indicate you only want the HD version or will it always download both HD and Standard def when you purchase HD programs. I'd prefer HD only since I'm under monthly data cap download limitations.
Thx marmot824

Ok, found similar discussions after posting that indicate this is normal and cannot be disabled. Consider the question answered.
