Downloaded TV Show Episode Doesn't play. Requesting a Redownload.

I purchased a Season Pass for Season 12 of Top Gear, and downloaded episode 6 with relish. When i eagerly clicked on the episode there was only a grey screen with the audio playing over it. I deleted it expecting iTunes to allow me to re download the movie properly like say, Steam for PC games would. I learned shortly after that iTunes doesn't allow you to redownload purchases. I would like a refund or another download of the same episode.

i think i have had the same problem, just downloaded an episode of desperate housewives and i can her everything perfectly but all i can view is a green screen?! Did you manage to get it sorted with your top gear episodes? and if so how?

  • My Season pass to the Walking Dead Season 2 will not download or show Episode 3 is available

    Episode 3 is not showing up when i check available downloads and thus i cannot download it. Episode 3 of season 2 is already available for purchase on the Walking dead page but for some reason it is not working, please help, i know others are experiencing this aswell since i asked this question on yahoo answers.

    I opened a ticket with iTunes support yesterday and recieved this as a reply:
    Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Emmanuel and I am happy to help you today.
    I understand you would like to download "Save the Last One", episode 3 of The Walking Dead, Season 2. I certainly understand your concern and will provide the necessary information.
    Dave, generally, the television networks provide Apple with the latest episode of each show within 24 hours of the original air time. Occasionally, there can be a delay.
    You can rest assured that Apple is working to make this episode available on the iTunes Store as soon as possible. You will receive an email once the episode has been provisioned for the season pass.
    Thank you for your patience. Apple appreciates your business and loyalty.
    Which tells me they didn't read my complaint correctly.  I replied back about an hour ago & haven't recieved anything yet.
    Searching around the web, I've discovered that this has been an periodic, on-going issue with season passes since roughly 2007.   Saving a $1.50 isn't worth this head-ache.
    I also tried called apple support in Canada and after being bounce around for half an hour I was told nobody would help me over the phone & I had to go through the web site.
    All this is after they charged me twice for the season's pass too.  That they've sorted, but I can't say I've been impressed with my experiences with my first season's pass.

  • Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared.  This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

    I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch."  I purchased the entire season and had watched one show.  It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5. 
    About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook.  while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing. 
    Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass.  After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available. 
    I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs.  I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time.  Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering. 
    Any ideas?

    This may help

    As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
    It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p

  • Partially downloaded TV show episode, suddenly starts over...

    I am living in Uganda, accessing the internet with a SLLOOOWWW dial up connection. I have purchased a season pass to a TV show, and have been downloading available episodes. Twice now, a show has been excruciatingly close to complete (after over 12 hours of downloading), then suddenly it seems that all the data is lost, and it starts over from scratch. Suddenly I'm back at 0MB of 493.6MB - 16 hours remaining. Ouch. Anyone know where the partially downloaded episodes are saved? I'm curious to know if the data was really lost...
    Any help would be much appreciated...

    I know you may not have any other options, but keep in mind that iTunes requires a broadband connection. Dial-up can cause all sorts of yuckiness.
    If downloading never seems to complete, you may want to consider the following:
    1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
    2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
    3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running (this is especially important for dial-up users such as yourself)
    4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem
    Dial-up + security software can have some strange results sometimes.
    Hope this helps. Keep us updated

  • TV show episode not downloading

    every time i try to download TV show episode, itunes give me this massage :unable to check for available downloads, the itunes store is temporarily unavailable. please try again later.

    Sorry, but there is no iTunes Store for Saudi Arabia and the terms of use of the iTunes Store for those countries in which one exists prohibit use of the Store from outside of it's country (there have been indications that Apple is now actually blocking access from IP addresses outside of the applicable country). So we cannot help you with this issue here, nor will the iTunes Store customer service department be likely to help you access an iTunes Store from another country.

  • Muvo 100 seems to load but doesn't play; display is scramb

    I have two new Muvo 00's 2GB. Tried to load both. Two problems: () only about .2 GB of music loads in on both of them and then they stop; can't get close to 2 GB; (2) on one of them, Media Source shows that there is music downloaded, but the unit doesn't play and the display looks like digital sand - - a mass of little specks but not readable. And this latter one only stays on for a few minutes and then turns off. I've reloaded this second one three times with the same result.
    A few months ago I loaded a Muvo GB and had no problems.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Apologies all,
    I had set my server url to localhost inside my program, this is now changed to the servers actual url!
    Sorry folks :)

  • Availability of TV show episodes from Irish iTunes

    Anyone any idea how to download tv show episodes if you have an Irish account? The link seems to only be on the USA sites. I know licensing etc wont allow current ones to be downloaded, but I was hoping to access some old episodes of like CSI etc.
    Any ideas let me know, Thanks.

    Sorry, but you can't. The owners of the shows have not yet allowed Apple to sell any shows, new or old, anywhere outside of the US. If or when this will ever be allowed, no one here knows or can say.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic before you post a question.

  • I have downloaded a TV episode of itunes but it is only showing the HD version. How do I get the SD version to play on my ipod?

    I have downloaded a TV episode of itunes but it is only showing the HD version. How do I get the SD version to play on my ipod?

    When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.

  • TV Show download doesn't play - how to get help

    Hi,
    If anyone can offer advice it would be great - iTunes 9.2 on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.4. I purchased Iron Man: Extremis motion comic and the 6th episode will not play. No video or audio. So I tried to report the problem as stated in the support docs (Store menu -> View my Account -> Purchase History ->Report Problem -> click the Report a problem link on the item that doesn't work).
    The problem is that instead of getting the form to report the issue iTunes just opens my browser to the iTunes support page. I never get the form to fill out. How the can I report an issue with this behaviour preventing me from ever seeing the form.
    Anyone suggest what I should do next? Thanks!

    On the itunes support page and select the heading that most fits you situation until you see the "E-mail us" button.

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.
