Downloading video from itunes

I am in the process of trying to download a video from the itunes store. This download is now into four hours. Am I supposed to have the QuickTime that I see mentioned several times downloaded to speed this up?
Is this amount of time normal?

I am also having problems--I have an iMac G5, the video file is an episode of Battlestar Galactica. It takes four hours to download, then says "processing" file. When done "processing" the file starts to download all over again! This has occurred on both my iMac AND my Compaq laptop PC. What is up with that?
Anyone have any tips?

cloud sign with the downward arrow. However they won’t play, i am being
required to DOWNLOAD them again. This is both in my iPhone and Ipad. Is there
any other way to go around this? As I do not want to download a second time,
that would cost me more money.

Hello ogojohn,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The icon indicates an item that is available for download. This is usually because it has been downloaded previously by the account you are logged in under and will not be charge again for the download. See the following article, while it references iTunes for Mac and not iOS, it is the same.

How can I solve the -50 error when downloading video from itunes. The apple support people cannot even figure it out!??

The 2330 error often means some sort of damage to the filing system as might happen if the battery fell out while the disk was in use.
Try running a disk check to see if it finds and fixes any errors.

Downloading videos from itunes

I have purchased 3 videos from itunes music store but they wont download. A message pops up that reads...."There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have gone to the advanced tab and clicked on the CHECK FOR PURCHASES...but yet it will still not download. this problem has been occuring since last thursday. What can i do to solve this problem?

Your itunes is running, so I doubt this has anything to do with it. Does your Qtime run too?

No picture or sound on downloaded video from iTunes

I recently purchased a video from the iTunes store and I searched the forums for nearly an hour and couldn't find anything that helped. The file was rather large (2.18 GB). When it had "finished" it had an error mesage next to it "Network Connection Refused" or something along those lines. After that, it did not automatically load the videos into my "purchased" playlist. I had to manually track down the finished downloaded file on my hard drive. I added the file to my library in iTunes just fine, but if I try to play the video from iTunes (or after I loaded it onto my iPod for that matter)I just get a gray picture and no sound, yet the movie slider is showing the 3:07:55 and is moving as if a movie is playing. I haven't had any trouble with this in the past with music videos or podcasts or anything like that and I have sufficient space on my hard disk. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Dell Inspiron 1501 Windows XP Laptop

I have all the drivers updated for Vista Business (I have switched from XP Pro to Vista Business since I posted). When I had XP Pro all my drivers were up to date as well. I have had several videos work from before. What was interesting though was that because the file was so large (2.17 GB) I had to let the computer sit overnight. When it finished though, there was a network error of some sorts, though it showed that the download had completed. I said "OK" and thought that it would put it into my purchases playlist, but it did not. I had to track down the file manually and imported myself, but what I get is a gray screen when trying to play in iTunes 7 and a black screen when on the iPod. The interesting thing though is that the slidebar for the time is moving with no picture or sound. I think there may be something I need to do to the file, but not quite sure. Any ideas? Thanks!

Downloaded videos from itunes onto pc but they wont sync onto ipod

Ive downloaded some videos to mmy pc from itunes , I can watch them on the pc but they wont sync onto my ipod any ideas

My fault , being directed to an apple help page the problem was solved in under a minute

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

I have downloaded videos from iTunes but they will not play- message says unable to complete this operation.

Why are the videos I have downloaded not able to play.when I go to play them the message says unable to complete this operation

The iTunes Store will direct you to the same article. As Hackintosh said, first delete the track from iTunes, allowing it to move the track file to the trash. Then in iTunes on your Mac, sign into your iTunes Store account and go here:
In the window you'll be taken to, make sure that the Music tab and "not on this computer" are selected, then locate the defective track in the list and click this button next to the track name:

Why does downloaded videos from iTunes freeze for a few minutes and then continues. this happen with my iPod Touch 4G and iPad 2.

When I try to watch downloaded TV and Movies from iTunes they will pause for a minuite or 2 and then continue. I have an iPod Touch 4G and an iPad 2. Both have the same problem when trying to watch the shows. Plus. When I try to watch the iTunes TV and Movies on my Windows 7 Desktop the audio is never in sync and usually stops playing.

Im having the same problem with my g4 iPod touch and it is driving me nuts. The freezes happen with downloaded movies ON my ipod, not my computer so these suggestions won't work. I read that the same problem is happening with rentals. I would love to know why this is happening. I would like some answers... and a way to fix it.

Downloaded video from itunes

I can not find mt downloaded videos on my ipad2. Any ideas?

Downloaded or synced videos should go into the Videos app. If you can't find them there then have you got any video age restrictions set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ? And can you find them by name via the iPad's spotlight search screen 9swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

Downloading video from Itunes keeps freezing my computer. It worked last night but now today

last night I downloaded two episodes of Game of Thrones without much trouble. Today I've tried to download a third episode but the amount of time required goes up instead of down. Eventually, the computer freezes. I have a PC with Windows 7.

The easiest way is to restore from your backups. You did make backups of that $5000 worth of purchased music, didn't you?
If you didn't, then it is possible to transfer your tracks from an iPod back to iTunes. It's been covered here a number of times already, but again:
First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, click "cancel" when iTunes presents the dialog box offering to synchronize to the iPod. Or hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. Just use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu.
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Hope this helps.

Error message when downloading video from itunes

It keeps saying that my disk cannot be read or written to. I've already purchased the video (episode of the Office). Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Thanks.

Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
Some anti-virus security software (particularly McAfee) can also cause a problem, and if you have this you might want to try turning it off and see if the iPod then ejects correctly.
