Downloaded TV episodes from Itunes keep closing after 1 minute

I just purchased Season 3 of Breaking Bad from Itunes. I have fully downloaded 2 episodes and both of them only play for around a minute then close. I have tried opening on both my imac and Macbook Pro. Same thing. I also updated Itunes on one mac - no difference. Anyone know how I fix this problem?

Try these two things first.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those don't work - do a search for one of the shows. From your home screen, swipe to the right to bring up Spotlight. Type in the name of one of the shows. If the TV show appears in the search - tap on it and see if it starts to play. If it does, let it play for a minute or two and then hit the Done button. Now go to the videos app and see if the shows are in there.

  • Download TV episode from Itunes

    If you download a tv episode from Itunes do you need internet connection to watch it?

    As long as it has been fully downloaded then no, you should be able to watch it whilst offline. On an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch it should download into the Videos app.

  • Why does my itunes keep closing after i try to play a tv show?

    Recently I updated my iTunes, and since then the program will become sometimey (excuse the word) with launching at all, and when iTunes does decide to open, it will immediately say it cannot connect to the iTunes store.  At this point I will close iTunes and reopen it and things will be ok in that aspect, but when I go to play a video or a tv show it always says this program is not working and will have to be closed...or something similar to that warning.  I have no choice but to close the program.
    I have unintalled iTunes and reinstalled, and still I get the same problem.  I've even tried to run a repair.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

    I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

    The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

  • Black screen after downloading TV show from itunes

    HI. Downloaded an TV episode from itunes store. Loaded it onto laptop. Played ep and made sure it worked on laptop. Then stopped it but went back a few days later to play it. Connected laptop and TV with a HDMI cable but all it has on the laptop is a black screen with a toolbar top and bottom. Has the title of the ep and the time playing but no pik or audio. Doesn't matter whether it is connected to TV or just on laptop won't play but yet it played a few days earlier...
    Help?
    Also when I download a tv ep it dowbnloads two episodes, hd and sd and both are eating into my internet usuage. Is there anyway to download just one or do both need to be downloaded? Downloaded 13 ep of a season and it fully used my entire months internet allowance ;P

    I need help with a similar issue. I downloaded one tv episode with no problems. The 2nd one I tried, I got error code 8008. I emailed iTunes Help and they gave me the instructions to delete the temporary files, restart my computer, and sign back in to iTunes and check for available updates. After doing this, I got one more to go through. I then bought another episode, and after the same problems, finally got it to go through. I was also told to check my firewall, Anti-Virus software, and any Ad-ware software because I could get 2 more episodes to download. I disabled and uninstalled what I could and tried again, with no luck. I looked last night, and the 2 episodes that won't download are in my TV Shows category under my Library heading, but they won't sync to my iPod. When I look at them in the Purchased category, they are dimmed and it won't let me do anything with them. So far, I haven't heard anything from Support.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

    I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes.  Before iOS 8, movies played fine.  After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive.  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
    According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
    DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
    As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
    I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

  • Hi, I have downloaded a tv episode from itunes and would like to copy it to a usb flashdrive to watch on my tv which has a usb port, can anyone tell me if this is possible please?  I can see the tv episode in my Library but i can't drag to usb drive

    Hi
    I have downloaded a tv episode from itunes, I would like to watch it on my tv, not the computer.
    My tv has a usb port, what I would like to do is copy tv episode to usb flash drive and then play on my tv.
    I have tried dragging the episode from the library to the usb drive, I thought I had been successful but when I looked it was just text.
    Can anyone advise if it is possible please ?

    It won't work, they are linked to your account and can only be played via iTunes on a computer, an iOS device or Apple TV. You might be able to get a cable to link your Mac to your TV so that you can play/mirror it through your TV e.g. if it's a Macbook with an HDMI socket and your TV also has an HDMI socket then you could try an HDMI to HDMI cable (Apple do them, and electrical stores should also have them) - I've used one to play iTunes TV programmes on my TV (though I don't think that I got sound through my TV, only my Mac).

  • I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my matchbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

    I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my Macbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
