Downloading Season Pass Episodes one at a time

Hi there,
I am pretty new to the itunes tv show experience.
I want to purchase a season pass for Greys Series 3 but would like to download the episodes a few at a time rather than all in one go. Is this possible to do? If so, how do I go about this.
Unfortunately I only have a measly 2gb monthly download limit at home so usually take my powerbook into the office and download from there. As a whole series can take many hours I would prefer to download in 'batches' if possible.
Obviously, there is the option to purchase episodes seperately but this would work out much more expensive.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks

First note that you need to have an account of the iTS that has TV Shows available for purchase - currently only the iTS USA has that option. To have an iTS USA account you will need to have a credit card and billing address in the USA.
Once you purchase the items - music, TV Shows etc - the items will be listed in the Store>Downloads - you will not see the Download tab unless there is something downloading. The d/l tab will indicate how many items total there are for d/l and they will be queued - usually three items will d/l at the same time. You can stop any item(s) from the being d/l by selecting the circle with the "||" or the 'pause' button at the bottom right.
You can restart the d/l later - iTunes menu>Store>Check for Purchases....

  • Downloading TV episodes one at a time

    If I've ordered an entire TV series is there a way to make itunes download the episodes one at a time instead of trying to do it all at once? Trying to download all the episodes simultaneously slows itunes way down, I don't think the download will ever finish.

    On the left side under store is a section marked download. Click on that. In the lower right hand corner there is "Pause all" button. The pause icon changes to the resume icon after each of the episodes. Click on that for the episode(s) to resume.

  • 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.

  • 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????

  • Downloading from itunes store, one at a time rather than in bulk

    Ok, I was wondering if it was possible to change the amount of downloads that happen at one time. I am on a satellite dish and it works better if I download one at a time rather than in a bunch. Does anyone know if its possible to change that setting? I have looked everywhere and can't find anything.
    Thanks so much!!

    Ok, I figured out how to get this to work. If you pause all of them then just restart one it does it.
    Just so anyone else was wondering.

  • How do I delete a season pass of one of my shows on I-tunes

    I have a season pass of BSG and i don't want it anymore How do i delete it?

    Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
    So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

  • Can i store my music on my device without using my data in my phone plan streaming from the cloud? How do i put what I want on there without waiting for each song to download from the cloud one at a time?

    How can I store the music I listen to on my iphone without streaming it from the cloud and using all my data on my phone plans?  How do I dump it on my phone all at once in itunes rather than waiting for each song to download individually from the cloud?

    What??  You asked how to get all your music on your phone at once rather than downloading it to your phone from iCloud.
    Go to your purchased list in iTunes and download all your music to your iTunes library, as explained in the linked article.  Then sync it all to your phone using iTunes you're done.  The music will be stored locally on your phone and you won't have to download it again in the future.

  • How to download new podcasts one at a time?

    Hello,
    can anyone tell me how to download new podcast episodes one at a time? I have a slow 70k flatrate and iTunes starts all downloads at the same time, so most of them stop because they are too slow. So I have to klick each episode manually. Instead, I would like to leave my PC for one hour, and then all the podcasts should be there.
    Many thanks,

  • Season pass for series in progress is actually a disadvantage

    I'm not purchasing season passes anymore for seasons which are in progress.
    While this is the only way to receive email notification when a new episode is posted the notification is frequently delayed by days. An email is sent only after the episode is added to my download queue which is often delayed quite a long time.
    Since there usually isn't even a discount I'm better off just purchasing the individual episodes when they are available. At least that way I could download them sooner.
    If I could just get notification of new episodes without purchasing a season pass then I would definitely do that and purchase episodes one at a time instead. At least that way it would just be a reminder if I forgot rather than the roadblock it is now.

    I don't know if it's an iTunes issue or a licensing issue with the content provider, but I haven't seen any new episodes of a show I bought on Season Pass that is currently in progress AT THE TIME I purchased it. The season has already finished, but the last 4 episodes have still not been posted to the store. What's up with that?

  • Season Pass - LOST (Televison Show) - Not working

    I purchased a season pass for the 3rd season of LOST. I've downloaded all 6 episodes when they were available. iTunes would kindly send me an email... The 7th episode which aired last night (02/08/07) is available and ready to download. However my season pass is not showing up. iTunes wants me to buy the episode.
    Apple what's up with my season pass?
    Anyone else having a this issue? Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    CH

    Ditto on the unavailable download. I have the season pass as well and when I check for purchases it says I have downloaded all available purchases. Clearly I have not done so because I have not downloaded last night's episode. I had a similar problem a week or two ago with Heroes, and after three or four days I was finally able to download my pre-purchased episode.
    Seems that other users recently had the same problem with 30 Rock and Studio 60. Looks to me like the iTunes folks are not up to the task of managing the season pass option.
    What's the point of a season pass if you can buy individual episodes before season pass episodes are available?
    Shame on them.

  • Watch purchased TV season pass in iTunes

    Hello everybody,
    I pucrhased a season pass for one of my favorite TV shows on our AppleTV. The only thing is that it doesn't seem to provide you with a method to watch it on your computers via iTunes. Is this just the way it is or should I purchase the Season pass on the computer and then it will allow me to download and watch from iTunes?
    Thank you for the feedback!

  • 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

  • I bought Married to Jonas season pass and the newest episode that aired last night is not available. Normally the episodes are available the next day. This one is not even on the Married to Jonas download page. Will it be available and when?

    Normally the episodes are available to download the day after airing date. But this time, the episode that aired last night is not available to download. I'm just wondering if that episode for Married to Jonas will be available in a later date or not. I did purchase the season pass.

    I created a support incident Saturday or Sunday.
    Their first response by email asked
    "... include your purchase's order number in your reply. You can find your order numbers on your email receipts and in your Purchase History. If you need to review your Purchase History, follow the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ...."
    They made it sound like it was my problem they would help me figure out. They already had my Apple ID so I don't know why they couldn't find the info. My luck they sent the email at 7:30 last night. The person working on my case only works Sunday - Thursday 4:30 - 11:30 pm so it will be tonight before they get my response. Nobody else can work on the problem? Come on Apple!
    I mentioned this thread so they may or may not look here also.
    Still very unimpressed with Apple TV process quality and the huge customer support hole. It's like they're completely unprepared for mistakes. Everybody and every company makes mistakes.

  • TV Shows Season Pass New Episodes Gone from Check for Available Downloads

    I was informed today from iTunes Support that new episodes that become available will no longer come through the Store > Check for Available Downloads option in iTunes.  If you notice in your email alerts for the new episode's availability, it now says the new episode is found in your Purchased items in Itunes in the Cloud. 
    I was also told that if I checked the options "show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" in iTunes > Preferences > Store tab, that I could just see the new episodes in my Library under TV Shows.  I used to have this option and could access the new episodes and download them this way, but that option is now GONE as well from iTunes.  I am awaiting feedback from my Senior Support Rep as to what is wrong there. 
    I have been simply going to the iTunes Store > Purchased > TV Shows and clicking the "Not on this computer" option in the upper right.  I have to go show by show and click "Download" or "Download All".  I have almost 15 Season Passes at any one time.  This is a completely horrible way of downloading them. 
    When the new episodes were evailable via the "Check for Available Downloads" Option, I had my iMac scheduled to restart every morning around 4am Central.  That was about 2 hours after the date/time stamp of the email notifications.  Since iTunes was always set to start at login, it would automatically check for available downloads, and then download all the new episodes.  I then had a cloning process scheduled that would clone my primary iTunes Media drive to a backup iTunes Media drive.  That way if one fails I always have an up to date copy. 
    This new method totally screws up how slick this whole process worked.  I understand streaming and the cloud is the direction they are taking here, but this is completely an about face.  I want the new episodes available locally.  I want it downloaded when I am asleep and always available locally when I want to watch.  That way I dont have to worry about my internet availability.  Storm can knockout my internet.  The construction down the road can cut the optical cable.  I may loose my internet due to a problem with the ISP.  Having the files locally allows me to watch them worry free, buffer free, and when I want to. 
    I urge those who are annoyed by this change to provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I really hope this decision to remove this functionality is not a sign to come.  Next I will be downloading each song one by one when I buy an album because I can just stream it in the cloud. 
    I love my Apple products and servies.  But this totally makes me hate them right now. 

    I am so angry right now I can not even see straight.  So the "Show iTunes Purchases Option" out of the blue showed up in iTunes this morning. I dont know if a reboot fixed it or what. But the attached screen shows the lack of that feature along with the iTunes version. 
    So I am not freaking crazy.  So I turned it on this morning to pick up 3 new episodes.  I get home tonigth and sit down on my couch with my Apple TV ready to roll... and it has completely screwed my "watched" vs "unwatched" episodes.  I come to my iTunes library on my iMac and sure enough TV Shows and Movies I know I have not watched or started are marked as watched.
    I have not watched a single episode of The Following Season 1, and it basically shows I have watched all but the latest 4 shows.   I have not watched the last several episodes of Revenge, and it says I have not watched only the last episode.  I am guessing as to where I left off, but it looks like Episode 13 was the last episode I watched and iTunes said I had only not watched Episode 19.  Vikings Season 1 - I have not watched a single show, but it shows I have watched all but the last 2 episodes, 8 & 9. 
    Movies - I have bought and downloaded many movies that I have not watched as of yet.  For instance: Django Unchainted, and all 3 Matrix Movies.  I have watched a couple of the Matrix movies but not all the way through.  But I had gone back and marked them as "unwatched"  Everything else I had not even touched to hit play or nothing.  These are all purchases. 
    I hunted down all the episodes and movies I knew I had not watched... which took me quite a while... and then when I close and re-open iTunes and at least the watched/unwatched TV shows stayed as I marked them.  This was not the case when this feature was first rolled out with iTunes 11.  That is exactly why I never used this feature in the first place.  Time will tell if it remains stable with the watch/unwatched situation. 
    Regardless, I am so tired of taking time out of my day and writing iTunes support and giving Apple feedback so they can perhaps look into it and see if its a larger issue than just my library.  So they can also maybe realize that some of us actually love their product and want to see them continue to working awesome, slick, and incredible. But as someone who is looking at 8 active season passes.... I may never buy a season pass from iTunes again.  The reason why EVERYONE still has a TV antenna and/or cable is because the basic concept of how you watch the programming DOESNT CHANGE.   They should take this feedback simply as TV shows are not like Movies and Music.  TV shows happen weekly.  Having a consistent and repeatable process to get the shows and watch them each week is paramount. 
    I am usually very good with change and enhancements.  But this one.... has completely made me an irate Apple Customer.
