HT3209 I purchased a television show on my iPad but the download keeps stopping saying "Download Error." What do I do?

How do I fix this?

Hello Ross,
Past purchases can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store to your iPhone. The following article provides step-by-step directions for doing so.

Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I've purchased two standard movies from iTunes and they started downloading then stopped saying download error any ideas on what to do??????? Help please!!

I've purchased two standard movies from the iTunes store and they both started to download very quickly and then out of the blue, they stopped and the message for both read as follows: error try again....now, no matter how many times I try again, neither of these movies will complete the downloading process before that same message pops up again!!!! It's making me so aggravated!!! Someone please help!!! I've spent good money on these vids.....what do I do???

Try to download them in iTunes on your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and then from the menu at the top of the screen go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You should be taken to another screen where the incomplete downloads can finish and then you can sync them to your iPad.

I've purchased cartoon tv shows for my iPad. Prior to the new updates, I could play one at a time or continous. Now I can only play one at a time. It's annoying to keep changing it every five or six minutes. Is there a fix to get it back playing continous

By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. Help?

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch. I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad? How is this done? (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are availabl

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I recently purchased a tv show on my apple tv. Do I have to download each episode before I can play it?

I recently purchased a tv show on my apple tv. Do I have to download each episode before I can play it? Each episode download is approx 28 min to download

There is no storage in the Apple TV so you need to load content each time you view. However it only needs to load a small portion before it starts. If you do want to store it you can access your purchase in iTunes and stream via home-sharing.

If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account

Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

I purchased a cd and it wont download one of the songs because it says its corrupt what can I do, I dont want to buy it again, I purchased a cd and it wont download one of the songs because it says its corrupt what can I do, I dont want to buy it again

After 4 repetitions I think I got that straight.
Answer: Return the CD.
Or did you mean this was an album you bought from iTunes, in which case it really isn't a "CD" (which is a hard, plastic, shiny disc) and I'm at risk of getting confused. If it is a corrupt file that you downloaded, delete the file and try downloading it again.

I have purchased house locator apps for my ipad but Icahn not find any house in India example my own house ,I can not see.

I have purchased house locator apps for my ipad but Icahn not find any house in India example my own house ,I can not see. again I want to buy cinema apps but it shows transecting problem but other apps are purchased easily by my same card.

I actually have already activated it the passport on AT&T and you are correct as long as Verizon continues with this whole must have CDMA than eventually Verizon will be in Sprints spot. Have to keep up with the changing landscape. As we all know blackberry did not do. However this new passport is so amazing and has that wow factor I think they could be onto something. Let's hope they stay on this path because they are the only phone I use. While there are a lot of great phones out there I am a blackberry user.
I most likely will not go with the classic because I can't see me going to a smaller screen when I have this one. I have been wanting a large screen keyboard for so long. The keyboard does take some getting used to, and with the passport 2 I'm sure they will correct those things.

It won't finish down loading an Itunes extra I paid for. Error 12001 keeps showing up and I checked the connection and it's fine. What do I need to try next

Purchased the movie Lincoln from Itunes. The movie came through but the Itunes extra stopped downloading. error message 12001 shows up again and again even after checking theconnection which is fine. Any suggestions so it will finish the download?

Even though you're getting a different error message number, try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
