How do I give access to one episode at a time from a tv series on iTunes?

On my son's Gateway, running XP, I have set up an account for him and an account for myself (with me as administrator). Here's what I want to do: download an entire TV series onto iTunes under my account, then transfer one episode at a time to iTunes under his account, giving him access only to the episodes that I have transferred to him. What's the best way to do this? (I want to buy the whole season as it is cheaper than one episode at a time). (OK, yes, I am bribing him to do his school work, but hey, it's healthier than McDonalds!

I thought I had to download the whole season at once (if the whole thing is available).
No, but any available episodes will automatically download unless you go into the Download queue and pause them. Just so it's clear, even if you buy a season pass, each episode is a separate video. So you can download them all to your Windows/iTunes account and just copy over to your son's account the ones you want him to have access to.
Do you know how long I can leave the purchased episodes on iTunes before downloading? Is there a time limit where the un-downloaded episodes will just go away?
I wouldn't suggest that you leave them for very long at all. There's too much risk of something corrupting your download queue should an episode, for some reason, be pulled (as can happen if an episode is found to have bad encoding, for instance). I'd suggest that you download them as soon after they appear as you can.

    How do I delete more than one email at a time from my i phone 5C

    With your Mail app open and the listing of the messages, tap Edit at the top right.  Then check each circle on the left side of the messages to delete.  When you have checked those to delete, tap Trash at the lower right.
    Next tap Mailboxes upper left, under accounts select the account, then for the account tap Trash.  Select Edit upper right, and at the bottom, Delete All, and confirm Delete All and all will be removed at one time.

  • How do you order more than one project at a time from iPhoto?

    Ordering different projects at the same time from iPhoto to save shipping costs

    This is why I no longer order books from iPhoto. I use Picaboo and Blurb. It is ridiculous that you can't create a number of projects and place them in a cart for checkout to save on shipping. I thought Apple was supposed to be leading the pack but in this instance they are sorely lagging behind. How difficult would it be for them to create a cart, upload your projects and purchase them at once. Do they really need to stick it to us for more shipping costs?

  • How do i delte more than one image at a time from all images folder on iMac

    i have 7000 images in the my images folder, how can I delte them all at once?

    Click on one folder (if they are nested together in parent folder) and use Select All from Edit menu; then use Move To Trash from File menu. Then use Empty Trash from Finder menu. Same with single images if all of them are in one folder.
    Sometimes a folder may be where an application expects to put them, so if that's the case, be sure to leave an empty folder if its part of a system or application. There are times when ownership privilege or user permissions may be lacking, so you may not be able to move or trash them.
    Hopefully its not more complicated than this.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hi All,

    Two options: 1. In configuration manager on the AW, use the user list tool to add the users domain account and select Webview access permissions. 2. Using standard Microsoft Active Directory tools or the Cisco Domain Manager tool, add the desired AD user account into one of the "WebView" security groups created within the Cisco OU.

  • Tip: How to play a playlist one song at a time from iTunes on a computer using the checkbox property

    I would like to share a tip about how to play a playlist one song at a time from iTunes on a computer. The tip I am sharing is simple, but I was not able to find it in the iTunes Help. After searching on the internet I found the idea for this solution in a discussion in which this was presented as a frustrating problem rather than a desired behavior. This tip relies on the checkbox for each song in iTunes. For a song in a playlist to play automatically, the checkbox must be checked. To keep a song from playing in a playlist, simply uncheck it. Therefore, to keep all songs from playing automatically in a playlist, simply uncheck them all. Now you have a list of desired songs in a desired order but none of them will play automatically. You can play each one when you want to play it without having to search for the next song and without having to be at the computer to stop the playing after each song.
    Step by step:
    1. Create the playlist.
    2. Uncheck all of the check boxes in the playlist (In iTunes for Windows, ctrl click one of the check marks to uncheck all of the checkboxes at once) 
    3. Now double click (or select and press spacebar) a song to play it. It will stop when finished because there is no other song checked to be played next.
    4. If you want to change back to normal sequential play, ctrl click one of the check marks again to change all of the checkboxes back to the checked status.
    Based on some discussions I found while looking for a solution (including at least one in which the questioner got bashed about why anybody would ever want to do such a thing and in which the proposed solutions were things like creating one song playlists or simply press stop after each song), some may not understand why this would ever be desired.  Here's why I wanted to do it:
    I was responsible for playing a series of songs at a dance. I needed to stop after each song to have a transition time to allow me to introduce the next song and to give new dancers time to get onto the floor and other dancers an opportunity to leave the floor. Furthermore, I was also dancing and didn't want to have to spend time searching for the next song (which is why I wanted to create a playlist in advance with just the songs I wanted to play in the order I wanted to play them) and I wanted each song to stop after playing since I was not at the computer to press stop.
    I hope this will help others who have a similar need.

    Thank you! I put some self help hypnosis tracks to listen to on my iPod. I did not want to go to the next track automatically, I wanted to listen to them individually, one at a time. (If I fell asleep, I did not want to 'wake up' in the middle of a different track.) Your information helps me understand that I need to re-load this playlist onto my iPod from my  Mac computer, only first, I need to UNCHECK the boxes in front of each track so the iPod will STOP each time after playing the selected track. It is too bad that so many functions are not availabvle within the iPod, but that is probably why they can make it so compact.

  • How do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    how do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

    Do you mean items in Finder?
    To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
    - click the top item you want
    - hold down Shift
    - click the bottom item you want
    The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
    To select random items :
    - click the first item
    - hold down the Command key
    - click any more items anywhere in the list
    Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
    This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • How do I delete  one item at a time from trash?

    How does one delete one item at a time from trash?

    In general, one doesn't.
    I suggest you create a new folder (I use "Trash Soon") on the desktop near the trash icon. Move all the stuff out of the Trash bin into the Trash Soon Folder. Then move the things you really want to eliminate to the Trash can. Empty Trash.
    DO NOT store anything you want to keep in the real Trash can. There are many activities that may cause "Empty Trash" a a side-effect.
    If you have multiple drives, The Trash is an illusion created for your convenience. The actual Items may be on several different drives, but all marked as "in Trash". Moving them to a folder on a different drive may cause unexpected copying.

    How can I order more than one picture at a time in iphoto?

    It's also wise to crop the photos to the print size you're ordering so you have control over what portion of the image gets printed.  Otherwise, the image will be scaled so the smaller dimension fills the paper cropping off some of the oither dimension.
