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.
Thanks!

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.

  • 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,

  • 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....

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • ITunes is not downloading more than one Podcast at a time.

    Since two updates ago, when I select multiple podcasts and update them to download the latest episodes, iTunes will only download one at a time.  It will show multiple in the "Downloads" window, but it will only actually download them one at a time.  The "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box is checked, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.

    If the box is checked, what happens is it will show 3 podcasts have started (by showing the progress bar), however only the first one actually downloads anything. Once it finishes, the second podcast will start actually downloading (and one new one will show that the download progress bar, tho it remains empty until its the "top" podcast. Like it doesnt do anything until everything above it has already finished.
    That sounds like a classic case of the Podcast provider limiting the number of simultaneous downloads to one only. As I asked the original poster; are these Podcasts from the same programme, or even from the same radio station network?
    Anomander Rake wrote:
    And thats annoying enough, but sorta often... if the first podcast takes too long the lower podcasts that have shown the progress bar but not actually started downloading yet will time out and not download until I tell it to try again.
    Again, classic symptoms of a Podcast provider limiting the number of simultaneous downnloads. Although this isn't proof, that it's the provider, the question needs to be asked.
    I find it extrememly unlikely that cmhogan's suggestion would give you any different results, because the request is simply made in a different way, the queue is the same.

    Some time ago, I attempted to download 2 episodes of Criminal Minds tv show.  It downloaded for 2 days before I realized it.  I stopped and tried to delete both episodes after several more efforts with the same result.  Every time I ANYTHING now, those same two episodes show up again and start to download again!   I can't make them go away!   I have successfully deleted songs and audiobooks over the last year, but these tv shows won't stop downloading and delete.  Any suggestions.    Thanks - danafromcripplecreek.

  • How do I downlaod iCloud all at once, instead of doing albums one at a time. Or can I download my library from iCloud while I'm away or my system is down?

    I purchased a new PC windows 8.1.
    Now I need to download my iTunes libary to the new PC.
    The libary is in the cloud, very large libary.
    Can I download the entire libary to the new PC while I am away or while the PC is off?
    It will take 3-4 weeks to download the libary one album at a time.

    Select all the songs, download them all.

  • How do i get my ipod touch to download more than one app at a time, can i make it toware i dont have to wait for one app to download before it starts downloading another,

    my ipod will only download one app at a time and runs extremely slow. i was wondering if there is some way that i can make it download more than one app at a time and how can i make the app start downloading again after i have left my wi-fi zone and then went back in. im really confused.

    Download everything on your computer in iTunes, then sync your iPod to iTunes.
    You should be syncing (backing up) to iTunes and your photo app regurally, anyway.

  • Can you download more than one app at a time?

    Basically, can I purchase two apps for OS X, both large downloads, and leave it overnight trusting both to be ready when I come back to the machine? Will they download one at a time, or concurrently?
    Thanks

    Only one app can be downloaded simultaneously. However, if you select to install both before going to bed, both should be downloaded and installed when you wake up, before when one app finishes installing, the other one will start being installed

  • How many times can the photoshop code be used?  Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

    Basically the title explains my question.  How many times can the photos hop code be used?  Like can I download it on one computer then later download it on a different computer?

    You're allowed two installations/registrations. Anything above that requires deregistration on one of those computers.
    Take note that if this is Photoshop CC, it's as easy as signing out on a system; there aren't any serial numbers involved as it's all tied to your Adobe ID.

  • After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S I show 8,976 on my email icon.  How can I eliminate them all without going one at a time?

    After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S it shows 8,976 on the email icon.  How can I move them all to trash without doing it one at a time?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

    Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

    I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue.  On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
    With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting.  It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually.  Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
    This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast.  I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes.  It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds.  This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
    Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • 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.
