Downton Abbey download wont play

I have downloaded Downton series 3 from the UK but message on trying to synch it with an ipod nano (purchased 2009) is that "video format is not supported" But i have many other TV series that have been ok. Anyone had this problem?

We had the same inexplicable stutter, and I managed to fix it by fiddling with the TV set's own settings. It was a Sony Bravia and there was a "Cine-something" under "Video" for fps rates or synchronization or whatever. The setting was on "Auto". I turned it off altogether, and after that the Downton Abbey played as smoothly as other titles.

A song I just downloaded wont play

I just downloaded Last Night by Diddy and it wont play. All my other songs play and the Diddy song shows the Album Art. the only thing I notice thats different is it doesn't say Protected AAC Audio File. Its just blank. What do I do? I dont want to but the song twice

I have a 2nd gen. iPod and it wont play a song I
recently downloaded (My Doorbell by The White
Stripes). What should I do? I already tried
downloading it again, and that didnt work.
I have the same issue with the same song. Itunes will play it, but my Ipod will skip several songs on the album before it starts to play.

Itunes downloads wont play in car

i have tried to download music on a usb to play in my 2009 chevy. will not play. computer shows the music is on usb. is car too old to play the downloads or can i do something to get music to play?? thanks for any help stew

Stew, there are 2 possibilities:
If you bought those tracks prior to mid-2009, they are probably DRM-protected, and will not play in any non-Apple device.
If you bought them more recently, they are in AAC format. That is Apple's favorite audio format, but it is frequently rejected by non-Apple players. Fortunately, you can use iTunes to convert AAC into standard MP3 format, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
MP3 plays in just about anything.

My computer is authorised however some of the songs that I have downloaded wont play?

I have just downloaded some music from Itunes. Some of the songs will play but some say that I need to authorise the computer. I put in the details, it comes up with a box that says 'the computer is already authorised and that I have used 4 or the 5 authorisations available' however the songs will not play. It a repeating loop, I click on the song and it tells me that I need to authorise again. All of the songs were downloaded at the same time to the same computer?

Interestingly I have been into the Itunes Store and looked at the items that I have downloaded and they seem to play fine. But in the library it keeps saying that I need to authorise the computer when it is already authorised. I have already deleted it and re-installed it but nothing...... When I go to the track that doesnt work there is nor Purchased By information (although the apple ID is present). The other songs that do work, do have the Purchased By information. Will this be the cause of the problem? how on earlth do I get around it?

A song I downloaded wont play even though I have authorized it

I just bought a song off of the itunes library, but when I go to play it it says I need authorization. I authorize it, and it still will not work. What is going on?

It's corrupt. Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Hmm, I would just try to resync/reload the movie.
Good luck!

I recently purchased season 5 of Downton Abbey. I have downloaded episode 1. It will play on my iPad but won't play on Apple TV. Other movies I have purchased work fine on Apple TV. Any suggestions as to what the problem may be?

I Purchased season 5 of Downton Abbey and have downloaded episode 1. It will play on my iPad but will not play on Apple TV. Other movies and videos work fine. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

OOur internet service is not always fast enough to stream directly on Apple TV which is why we want to use AirPlay from the iPad to Apple TV. When we try to play a movie it starts for one second and then crashes out. This does not happen with every TV show - we watched 8 episodes of Season 4 with no problem, but it would not play episode 9 or episode 1 of season 5.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

How do I stop the downloading of ALL 11 EPISODES of Downton Abbey? I can't watch any of them because they are frozen in PROCESSING.

I purchased Season 3 from iTunes and "downloaded" it. When I went to watch them, I found they were not fully downloaded, but just a small bit of each episode. As if each was holding a place for the rest of the episode to be downloaded.
I started watching these, but after each episode, it is as if the iPad info-structure rearranges itself. My GENERAL settings tell me I've used next to none of my 5 GB storage space. But when I try to watch a second episode, it tells me I have run out of space. A few times I was able to find a page that I could EDIT & DELETE the episodes i had already watched. So I deleted the earlier episodes and was able to finish downloading the next one. At an agonizingly slow pace. It took at least half an hour to download a 47 minute video.
Now I can't find the setting page where I was able to EDIT and delete the episodes I have seen. I have been reading the iPad Secrets Manual, trying to find out what is going on. Not the free LITE manual, but the paid manual. It should have been called the LITE manual, as it barely skims the surface. I have probably messed up my settings trying to figure out what is eating up my hard drive and battery.
Can anyone recommend a good manual that is written for a new Apple user - one that is not written in geek speak. And can anyone suggest how I can get these to finish downloading?

Thank you

If you are seeing 5 gig of storage, then are you looking at Settings > General > Usage > Available (in the iCloud section) ? If you are then that shows how much space that you have available in the cloud, not on the actual iPad (TV shows don't use any of your iCloud allowance).
How much space do you have available on your iPad - it should be shown at at top of Settings > General > Usage, and in Settings > General > About > Available. It looks like the Downton Abbey episodes vary between about 1.8 and 2.7 gig each in HD format, 500 to 800 meg in SD format.
To delete an episode from a series, then select the series on the TV Programmes screen in the Videos app and if you swipe across the episode's name you should get a Delete button appear on it. If they are stuck in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app and you want to delete them to stop them downloading, then try swiping across the name of it in that tab and see if you get a Delete button

HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play. I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it. I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play. HELP!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.

When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
I went to Music, then Artists.
From there I chose the album.
The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
(Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

ITunes: downloaded song wont play

I purchased/downloaded a song by Mute Math from the iTunes store and now it wont play on iTunes, it has played fine since now. All my other purchased songs play fine??
I Have an iMac7,1

I have had the same problem since updating to iTunes 10.5 and it has happened on 2 different occaisions with 3 different albums where I was unable to sync the tracks....and where the computer is shared and smeone else is the main user it meant that I could not access the purchased section to redownload it. I contacted support and they sent me the relevant files.
I'm guessing there may be a slight glitch in 10.5.

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

Hey KMK14,
I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.
