HT203167 problem watching a show on my ipad

i purchased and downloaded a season of a show.  i can watch it on my computer and i can transfer it to my ipad,but the files on my ipad are then unplayable.  any ideas?

"Is this the same if I bought the movie directly on the ipad2?"
yes.  You get one and only one download of movies.
"So if I have to delete it from the ipad2 I've lost it for good?"
Yes.
If you bought it on the ipad you should have transferred it to itunes on your computer.  Open itunes, connect ipad, click File>Transfer Purchases.

  • How can I watch tv shows on my iPad that require Adobe Flash?

    I am trying to watch a tv show but you have to have Adobe Flash Player!

    Download the app Photon, it will allow you to play adobe flash. It is a different browser. You use it to go to the site you want to watch and press the lightning rod in the upper right hand corner and it plays flash. I have only used it a few times so I don't know if it works for all adobe flash, but everything I have tried it on has worked. Hope this helps.FYI I have had my iPad for less than a week so I am by no means an expert.

  • Problem watching downloaded video in mini ipad

    I downloaded an iTunes video to my mini iPad to take on a recent trip.  The video would not load unlessni had an Internet connection. Why did I have an issue watching it? Mi shouldn't need Internet caves if its downloaded to my iPad?

    Repair permissions from your Tiger DVD. See if this helps. If not, try the following:
    To fix a QT related problem w/Safari, quit Safari & look in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (this is the Library folder at the root level of your HD, not the one inside your Users/user name folder).
    Try removing the VLC Plugin.plugin (if you have it) & QT Plugin.plugin files from this folder, & then relaunch Safari. If the problem isn’t fixed, a different plug-in may be to blame. Keep removing files from this folder (start with any third-party plug-ins that are present) until the problem disappears.
    Replace the plug-ins that don’t cause any problems.

    If none of the above works and/or no one else suggestions works out, suggest you try to view the video from another browser. Safari isn't the only browser in town.
    Please post back with your results.
    Good luck!

    Moved to Adobe Reader for iOS.
    If you are trying to open an xml based pdf file, then it is not supported on the present version of Reader for iOS.

  • If I download a tv show to my iPad can I watch it when I am on an airplane?  Is there a time limit on how long I have to watch the tv shows if I down load a complete season?

    If you download a purchased TV Show or movie to the iPad, you can watch them anywhere. I have downloaded several movies to watch on flights.
    I don't one know much about TV shows, but as far as I know, you can't rent them, you have to purchase them and there is no time limit because you bought it.

  • HT1491 How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

    How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

    There are two kinds of content, streaming and downloaded. If your show is a streaming show you have to be on the internet to view it. (akin to you not being able to watch youtube videos without being on the net)
    Downloaded files can be watched anytime (within the constraints of the DRM of course)

  • Why can't I watch USA network shows on my iPad ?

    Can we watch USA

    The USA network has an app called USA Anywhere. It does not stream their TV shows. You can check it out in the app store but it is really not what you are looking for. What you are looking for doesn't exist currently.
    http://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id476646435?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
    There is no way to watch full episodes of USA network shows on the iPad at this time.

  • When I go to watch a show or movie that I purchased, it will not load.  The "loading" screen comes up but it just sits there.  There is no problem with my internet connection.

  • ITunes won't delete watched TV shows from iPad--how to fix?

    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I spent years watching TV shows on my iPhone(s), and iTunes always knew to delete the watched ones. I can't figure out or find a setting to make this work on my iPad.
    Have iTunes 10, latest iPad software, Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the iTunes window with your iPad connected, select TV Shows from the menu.
    Try resetting the pop up menus.
    And under the Summary tab, if you have: *Manually manage music and windows* selected, deselect that box.
    See if that makes a difference.

  • Why my iPad or iPhone go safari watch online show can't load

    Why my iPad or iPhone go safari watch online show like anime etc it's say need flash player

    Flash is not supported on the iPad or iPhone - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

  • HT4743 How do I watch a paid for tv show on my ipad?

    I don't see a way to view my purchased tv show on my ipad.  I know it has to be super easy but I can't see how. Help.  I have downloaded it already but don't know where to go to view.

  • When watching shows from my itunes with apple tv I can watch one show, but as soon as I try and watch a second it won't load.

    I just got my first apple tv.  It streams netflix beautifully and connected to my network and computer quickly.  Currently the bulk of my itunes library is on a PC, so I am attempting to stream from that.  I can watch a show or an episode of a tv show just fine, but when I try and watch the second I get the spinning wheel and nothing loads.  If I reset my apple tv and then turn home sharing off and on again I can watch another episode.  I disabled my firewall and my anti virus on my desktop to see if that was the problem, still I am watching one episode at a time.  HELP!

  • Problems transferring video from iTunes to iPad

    Can anyone help with transferring video from iTunes across to an iPad. This has worked smoothly in the past but now nothing seems to transfer across. Within iTunes on my computer, I've opened the iPad and chosen a new movie to transfer (ticking the box adjacent to the film). There apperas to be plenty of space left on the iPad (currently 3.98GB) .Then I've clicked Sync. At the top of the iTunes window, the iPad is shown as syncing (very quickly) but when I check on the ipad, the movie hasn't transferred.
    Next, I've disconneceted the iPad from iTunes and restarted it - I've also tried restarting within iTunes - then reconnected to my computer and tried a fresh Sync. Same problem; the movie won't transfer. On the list of movies shown in iTunes as being on my iPad, the new movie shows up (albeit in grey - so not loaded). As it's not displaying in videos on the iPad, I can't delete it to start afresh. 
    Any suggestions welcome....

    Thanks for the link. As noted I've managed the transfer on many occasions before, but for some reason the iPad and iTunes no longer feel like syncing. I did finally manage the transfer by restarting the computer (as well as the iPad) then trying to Sync the iPad. It shouldn't be such an issue however!
    With regard to the home sharing, point taken but my wifi doesn't reach the room where I want to watch the movie on the iPad. This option doesn't work for me...
