Downloading TV episodes (or not...)?

I have downloaded some TV episodes on one of the authorised computers (an old Dell that still runs XP and is not in the UK). I cannot now download them on any other device. Any help please?

If you are in a different country from where you originally downloaded the shows, you can't download them again. You can only download from the country in which you have a residence (or address) that matches the address on the credit card in that country.
In other words, if you downloaded shows in the US and want to download them again in the UK, that will not work.

I bought the second season of American Guns and it downloaded some episodes and not others this happened to the last season of American Chopper also for me.

I purchased the second season of American Guns and the latest American Chopper and some episodes downloaded and some didn't and I go to purchase it again and it tells me already purchased but when I hit download it tells me to pay again then when I do it says already purchased???

For those interested, the solution (at least in my case) is pretty simple:
--Contact Apple Support and explain.
--Have first-level support misinterpret your request.
--Re-explain and ask for resolution.
--Have the purchased items added to your download queue and then hit Check For Purchases.
--Sit back and enjoy.
Based on the WWDC announcements on 08-Jun, going forward, the solution will apparently be:
--Download it from iCloud.
Roaminggnome, you are simply wrong. Demonstrably, purchases on iTunes are not one and only copy--even more so now with the entire concept of iCloud, but even beforehand you could download apps many times if you had bought them and removed them from your iOS device. You'd think with all those discussion points, you'd troll less and actually give thought to responses more, but sometimes I say crazy things.

Automatic downloads not automatically downloading new episodes

I can't seem to get the Automatic Download setting to actually work the way that it should. As far as I know, this setting should automatically download a new podcast episode when available, and with the most recent update to the Podcasts app, we can now restrict that downloading to wi-fi only. Yippee!!
Problem is that new episodes don't get automatically downloaded, at least not consistently. When I subscribed to a podcast and set it to automatically download, on wi-fi only, it worked perfectly the next time an episode was released. But then the following week it did not work. It did not start downloading until I actually opened the Podcast app and went to that podcast's episode page.
So I tried unsubcribing and resubscribing again, and then the next time a new episode came out - worked just fine. The next morning the podcast was there and ready to go. But then the following week again (this past Friday/Saturday), once again, no joy. It did not download the episode until I opened the app and looked at that podcast's episode list just now.
So what is the deal? Is this yet another bug with this crappy implementation of a podcast app? I really would love to use Downcast instead, I really would, but Downcast does not store the podcast files in the same place as other media on my phone, which means it's not available when I scroll thru the menus when connected to my car stereo. My car stereo only accesses media files in the normal location, UNLESS it's playing before I connect it. But that's a pain, trying to remember to go into Downcast and play an episode before I connect the phone in my car.
Can anything be done about this, or am I not doing something correctly with the iOS Podcast app?

I get the following message every time I go to download Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and have no idea why iTunes would care how many shows I have listened to. For the heck of it I deleted a bunch of them but still can't get that infernal "!" to leave!
Exclamation point
Next to a song: The song can’t be located; it may have been moved or deleted.

HT4539 iTunes Seasons Passes for TV episodes do not download automatically (per Apple Support). Anyone have a workaround? Automator?

When researching a problem such that my Seasons Passes new episodes did not appear as new downloadable content ("You have downloaded all the content for this Apple ID"), Apple Support tells me that Seasons Pass content are no longer considered applicable to "check for available downloads".
Has anyone created a workaround?

Actually, they are put in your downloads. But this is only for new passes going forward. And you have to chose the (Download All) options as well during your purchase.
For current passes before this change, you can do your work-around here:

I bought the season 7 pass for Doctor Who, but the new episodes are not showing up for download. Who can I contact to find out why?

I bought the season 7 pass for Doctore Who, but the new episodes are not showing up for download. I've been all over the support page, I even looked up my purchase history and there is are none showing and I even bought last weeks episode, The Bell's of St. John. Who can I contact to find out why I'm not getting the rest of season 7 for download?
Thanks,

Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale. However, Apple states all sales are final.
Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software. They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed. Apple is the cashier. You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin. Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains. Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.

I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question! I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season. But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop. How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?

You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.

I am trying to download icarly episodes and it does not go any further than clicking on buy season button. nothing happens when i click the button

i am trying to download icarly episodes and it does not go any further than clicking on buy season button. nothing happens when i click the button?

I would first try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Episodes do not auto-download even though I receive email confirmation they are ready. 'Check For Avail. Downloads' says all available are already downloaded. Signed in properly on an authorized machine.

Thank you for the reply. These are not, however, past purchases; these are fresh episodes of purchased seasons. For instance, I receive an email that a new episode of Elementary is ready for me to download. When I check for available downloads, though, I am told there are none. So these are not previous purchases that I am trying to re-view or download again. These are fresh items for which I have paid but which I appear unable to access unless, perhaps, I were to re-purchase them. Grrrrrr.

Apple TV device will not download latest episode (dec. 2013)

I have bought several ongoing TV series. Last week episodes does not download to my Apple TV device. I see the new episode in my MacBookPro (iOS 10.8.5) Itunes (v. 11.1.3 (8)) and in my Iphone 5 (iOS 6...), BUT NOT in my Apple TV device.
I have restarted all devices (Mac, Iphone, Apple TV), I have done log on /off on all devices several times and the problem remains: last week's episode of 4 different series will not download. My Itunes ID is the same on all of them.
This has happened to me on several occassions already, each time something else solves de problem. I have been having the problem (again) since the last Apple TV software update (dec. 2013). It is usually after software updates that this type of problem appears.
What is going on? How do I solve it now? I have tried all the things that worked in the other instances, but nothing is working now.
Big thanks,
Anastasiac

Try grabbing a micro usb and connecting to iTunes

I was trying to download 1 episode of "Suits" when I noticed that I was actual ly downloading 2 seasons!!! THIS is a NO NO !!!! Like I said I only wanted 1 FREE episode, this must be cleared up as soon as possible!! I do not want this charge to show up on

I was trying to download 1 episode of "SUITS" when I noticed that I was actually downloading 2 seasons !!!!!!!! I am new to all of this, so I have no idea how any of this happened. The episode I was trying to download was supposed to be free !!!! I want the charges off my phone; I had to save up for my phone, I can not afford this. What can I do ???

There aren't 2 seasons of suits. There are only two episodes of the first season.
Why do you think that you downloaded two seasons?

Can I purchase a tv episode but not download it?

Since all my purchases are kept in the cloud and can be streamed to my AppleTV, I have no need to download TV episodes - taking up drive space, Time Machine drive space, lengthening the time it takes to do full volume (SuperDuper!) backups.

If you purchase a TV episode you have to download it, otherwise it will just sit in your account's download queue and resume downloading everytime you connect to the iTunes Store. That said, you could certainly delete it after downloading it, if that is what you want. However, I feel I should mention that items are only available for redownload via the cloud for as long as they are available in the iTunes Store. If that content is ever deleted from the store's catalog, then you won't be able to redownload it. For this reason, it is still a good idea to back up your purchases.
