HT4539 iTunes Seasons Passes for TV episodes do not download automatically (per Apple Support). Anyone have a workaround? Automator?

When researching a problem such that my Seasons Passes new episodes did not appear as new downloadable content ("You have downloaded all the content for this Apple ID"), Apple Support tells me that Seasons Pass content are no longer considered applicable to "check for available downloads".
Has anyone created a workaround?

Actually, they are put in your downloads. But this is only for new passes going forward. And you have to chose the (Download All) options as well during your purchase.
For current passes before this change, you can do your work-around here:

You could try a SMC reset:

Already purchased season pass for "The Flash" unavailable to download.

Recently purchased the season pass for "The Flash". Episode 1, the trailer and the "On the Set" for episode two have all automatically downloaded to my desktop. Wondered why episode two didn't download as well, so I went to the iTunes store and see a price tagged slapped over episode two, as if I haven't purchased the season pass. Anyone know whats up with this?

Will my Season Pass (for TV show) continue to download even when I travel to another country?

In a few weeks, I'll be traveling and living in China for a year.... Of course this means I'll be missing the excellent Fall lineup of TV shows, but iTunes would theoretically help me with that.
So my question is that if I download the season passes for let's say "Scandal" and "Agents of Shield," would I be able to continue downloading them off the cloud while in China? Or would I have to wait until I get back in the US? I'm not sure how the cloud works in China specifically, so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

It sounds like you aren't seeing some of the TV shows that you've already purchased from the iTunes Store. The article below will walk you through reporting an issue with your purchase.

ITunes 11.1 for Windows 64 bit not downloading, says a problem occurred with the installer.

iTunes starts to download and the pop-up asking to allow Apple Inc. to make changes to the hardrive comes up but the installer then says "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified. Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit."
I have tried using different web browsers to install it, all with the same error message. Anyone know how to fix this please?

I've updated and restarted my computer and iTunes has now successfully installed.

What happens if you buy a season pass for eight tv show episodes but Discovery cancels the show after four episodes?

Hi,
I bought a season pass for eight episodes of the tv show World's Toughest Trucker. Discovery cancelled the show after four episodes. My purchase was made after the show had been cancelled but I didn't know that at the time. The missing four episodes do exist, as the show was produced and shown in the UK. Help.

Considering the hundreds of people that use this forum and likely bought a season today alone it really isn't an unanswerable question. However I'll take the lack of an answer as ineptitude rather than ignorance.

When is Apple going to fix the season pass for tv shows (The Walking Dead Season 2 for me)?

Apple do you ever plan on fixing the season pass system?
I can not download The Walking Dead episode three. This isn't the first show this has happened to me.
It's frustrating since one would think you would work extra hard to make sure your season pass holders are happy. Afterall we pay for a whole season up front as compared to your other customers and the savings we get from buying a season pass are minimal. It's not like we are paying half off the season price.
A little consideration in regards to those of us paying up front would be appreciated.

Feedback falls on deaf ears, it would seem, given I know that many of us have used that avenue. And no, I haven't noticed the other 90+ missing features, as I am unable to use the program due to it not being compatible with Endnote. And yes, at present I am using Pages 09 whilst waiting for a fix.
I don't at all mean to diminish the importance of anyone elses frustration and complaint about a feature that has gone or no longer works. This one is mine . And for me and a large number of users it makes the program unusable. Endnote is a program used by many universities and other institutions and relied on by many staff and students worldwide. I just think that when an issue means you can no longer use the software, I would have hoped for some sort of indication from Apple that there will be a fix. But perhaps the features you mention also make the program unusable?
Anyway, maybe I'll give a review a go......

Why cannot I download an episode after I purchase the Complete Season Pass for a TV show?

The iTunes on my iPhone won't allow me to purchase Complete Season Pass for a TV show. After I click the Buy Season Pass button, I got an alert dialog saying, "Cannot Download: There is not enough available storage to download 'Supernatural, Season 7'. You can manage your storage in settings."
My iPhone has 12.4 GB available in the storage, and my iCloud has 24 GB out of 25 GB available. I don't quite understand what is actually the issue. Why is the iTunes not allowing me to purchase the Complete Season Pass? Is it because I don't have enough storage available on my iPhone to download all episodes of the TV show? If so, why can't I just buy the pass then download a particular episode I want without having to download them all?
Can you help me figure out what the issue is?
Here's a screen shot from my iPhone:

There is no accessible storage so that is why it needs to reload. The time it take is dependent on your network. Not sure why it is freezing this time but you may want to try a reboot (hold the menu and down arrow for a few seconds until the light starts flashing and then release)

ITunes wants to charge me for a show I bought a season pass for

Back in September, before the show even started, I bought a season pass for the TV show "Total Drama All Stars". For the first 3 episodes, I was sent an email once they were available, and was then easily able to download the episode within minutes. However, I'm currently experiencing an issue with episode 4. Generally, the show airs on TV on Tuesday nights, then shows up on iTunes at 3 AM the next morning. However, when I woke up at 8 AM this morning, I didn't have an email, so I went to check the iTunes store myself. Episode 4 is available, but the store wants to charge me $1.99 for it, even though the season pass already says "purchased". I can still redownload the first three episodes, but I'd have to pay again for the fourth.
How do I report this and get the episode I already paid for? The only report link I could find required me to buy the episode and then request a credit, which I'd rather not do. I paid my 20 bucks for this show a month ago, and even if the cost is minimal, it's still not fair to charge me again to fix a mistake I didn't make.

Ringtones are a ONE-TIME download. If you didn't transfer them to your iTunes library so that you could sync them back to your phone, you will have to re-purchase them.

ITunes Season Pass - trouble downloading episode?

I received an email notification that a new episode is ready for my Season Pass. I can usually download the episode no problem, by clicking on the link in the email. But this one keeps saying "Unable to process your request. Try again later". I have been trying for 2 days, and still no luck. My internet connection is perfect. Anyone had this happen to them?

I have the same issue. Its frustrating that to download an episode, I need to jump through hoops, (1) Look up which episode os the latest (2) Go to the store home and find the episode by name. It used to dowload with one click straight from the e-mail.
I called Apple support, only to speak to a moron who didn't understand the problem at all.
This is by no means the first time that Apple made features stop working with no warning.
I've been using iTunes as my primary entertainment resource, typically purchasing a season pass for all the shows I follow. maybe its time to give Amazon a try.

Please help! Thank you!!

I recently purchased a season pass for a TV show on my apple tv I downloaded the first episode and when I went to watch it it started to download again and is now frozen at "ready to watch in 44 minutes"????? I have had it do the reloading process on an entire season of another show (very frustrating) but have never had it freeze up like this? any help out there?

I bought a season pass of Homeland tv show in itunes on my iphone and it will not airplay to my apple tv

I have an Iphone 5c and it has an IOS 7.1.2 where I have just purchased a season pass for homeland and although I received and emai confirmation my purchase its not in my itunes purchased or downloads. I finally found it in the Videos App and are now trying to airplay it on my Apple TV MD199LL/A but although my iphone give me the option to airplay it , it just won't stream.
Is there a solution to view my episoded in my tv streaming through my apple tv.

Hello there rmera,
It sounds like you have the option to use Airplay on your phone but your Apple TV doesn't seem to be picking it up. I would start by restarting the device and testing it again:
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3180
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next use the following article to help resolve the issue:
Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
All AirPlay-enabled devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a Guest Network. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General >Network and ensure that you're connecting to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device. On your iOS device, tap Setting > Wi-Fi and confirm that this matches your Apple TV.
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
