HT4743 Can't see a purchased tv show

I just purchased season two of friends on my Apple TV and when I went to look for it to play it it was no where to be found. I went on iTunes on my ipad and tried to buy it again thinking it might not have gone through but it says its purchased, yet I can't download or see it anywhere!! So I purchased season 3 using the ipad and it worked fine I could see it on my ipad straight away. Where is season 2??

I've found the solution. Its a bug in the new update for apple tv:
Apple TV not playing purchase TV episodes, after latest update to Apple TV was applied
Graham 
May 18 in Apple TV Member
I purchased a TV series on Apple TV (as I have done many times before).
However,
after upgrading the Apple TV last month (with the latest software
update), I now can't play those TV episodes, without great difficulty
I
can see the purchases episodes. But, when I press "play", then press
"OK", it's as though I've pressed "cancel", and it goes back to the
screen with the "play" icon (i.e. not letting me through to the show
I've purchased)
I’ve
gone back to Apple ID to make sure my birthdate is correct, and have
checked the Parent Controls to make sure they’re right.
I did a complete restore, but nothing changed.
So, in my frustration, I tried my last resort (which is no real solution), and it worked!!
Here it is:
When
I want to watch a TV episode that I've purchased (which is appropriate
for those aged over 15+), I need to do the following:
Click "Play", then click "OK" (to watch show appropriate for those aged 15+)   - Then, REPEAT THIS 2-STAGE  PROCESS 4 OR 5 TIMES
On the 4th or 5th time I click "Play" and then click "OK", the TV episode plays!
Is this a bug in the Apple TV, that I should raise with them?  Does anyone know what’s causing this issue?
thanks

  • HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

    i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

    Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
    The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

  • How can i see my purchases history

    How can i see my purchases history

    For apps? For music? For movies?
    For apps go to the App Store and tap on updates in that tab there will be a purchased field where you can look at what games you've downloaded.
    In iTunes you go to the app and tap on more in the bottom right corner and then tap purchased and you can see your movies, tv shows, and music all there.
    Hope this helps.

  • What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically?  I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type.  With over 500 movies purchased this is a huge pain.

    What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically?  I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type.  With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain.  For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action?  But it is action?  I have to look at both types to find the film.  I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay.  I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.

    Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.

  • I can't see my purchases in itunes anymore.

    I can't see my purchases in itunes anymore, the names of the tv shows that I've purchased are there in gray, but when I click on them, nothing happens. They are no longer available for download. Can someone help me figure out why?
    It happened after I deleted Safari as my browser and changed over to Firefox and also switched to the Mavericks operating system.

    Ditto, since the Mavericks update, the Purchased screen on my late-2012 iMac is just a blank white screen.  Works fine on my mind-2013 MacBook Air updated to Mavericks, but not the iMac.

  • Can't see member Purchases with Family Sharing

    Okay, I wonder if someone can help with this. I setup Family Sharing and was able to add the members I wanted. When I go to the AppStore, i'm able to see their name under the Family Purchases", however when I click on their names, I can't see their purchased. I just get something that says "you have no purchases". I follow the steps on the Apple Article title "If you don't see you family's shared content" and that didn't solve the issue. I also made one for the members to download a free that was shareable, to verify and I still couldn't that one either.  In addition, I verified that the email under the Family Sharing was the same for ITunes & AppStore under the setting.  Does anyone has solution? I'm not sure if the issue is because I have an older iPhone. I still have the iPhone 4S

    I have the same issue - interestingly, I am able to see iTunes purchases.  It's just app store purchases that aren't showing up.

    Hi Antonfromsamara,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you don't see any of your past purchases from the iTunes Store, be sure you're signed in with the correct Apple ID.
    See this article for help with viewing and changing your Apple ID (iTunes Store account):

    Can I play my purchased iTunes TV shows on my Sony TV?

    You need an AppleTV connected to the TV via HDMI to do so unless you want to connect a Mac/PC running itunes, iPhone or iPad to the TV.

  • Family sharing: members can't see others' purchases

    As the head family member, I can see my family members' purchases. But they can't see any shared content. I double-checked the Family Sharing settings and we are all listed under each device. Each person is signed in with the correct id. Sharing is set to "on." I tried logging out and logging in again, downloaded a free app, but it's still not working. Please help!

    Hi magnetic197,
    Lets see if we can get your content to show up on your Family Sharing account. Take a look at the article below for some additional troubleshooting to what you have already done to get it to show up.

  • How can I see which purchased items are not transferred before making an update?

    When I try to update I get the:
    "There are purchased items on the iPad “Yours iPad” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?"
    I have done a back-up and have in iPhotos transferred all non-importated images, so I just don't know what isn't there and what I will loss.
    How can I see what it is that I am missing?
    Can it have anything to do with that my boyfriend have downloaded some apps using his own apple account, and that these might therefore not have been back-uped?

    If the drop-down menus aren't showing at the top of the iTunes screen then control-B on a PC should get them to show
    e.g. (screenshot from a Mac)

  • My iPad2 does not see the 'purchased' TV shows that I have bought on my Apple TV - what am I doing wrong?

    So,
    I have purchased a series of Top Gear on my Apple TV and want to watch it on my iPad. Since it is all 'in the cloud' I thought that this would be possible. I have read that you can go on the 'purchased' tab on the video app but that only have a film that I bought on itunes some time ago.
    Is it possible to watch the TV shows on my ipad? If so....please help!! Thanks

    Hi,
    Couple of things:
    1. There is no "purchased' tab in the Video app - it's in the iTunes App. Once in the iTunes app / Purchased tab select the TV Series view (top left). You should then see your purchases.
    2. Not sure where you are in the world but I believe previously purchased TV Shows are only avaible for re-download in the USA, Canada, UK & Australia http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085

  • Can't download previously purchased tv shows or movies, they dont appear on my MBA in itunes but do appear on my ipod 5

    i recently purchased a new ipod 5 (ios 7), i have a 2013 MBA, i am running the latest itunes on both devices.
    i am not able to see a list of my previously purchased tv shows or movies in itunes on my MBA but can see the list on my new ipod.
    they dont appear as "previously purchased" any resolution to this issue

    The iTunes Store went DRM free for music back in 2009 but the other content such as movies, TV shows, audiobooks and iBooks still contain it as required by the rights holders. This limits you to playing the content on a computer or device with the necessary software to decode the DRM. It should be possible to connect your large display to your laptop's audio and video outputs if you want to make use of the larger display, or you could purchase an Apple TV unit.
    Here is one of the support articles on this topic iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos. I imagine there are references to the same or similar in the terms and conditions that most of us skip over when installing the software.

  • Can't see own purchase or others' purchases on iPhone with Family Share enabled unless iCloud is off. Why?

    We have family sharing enabled on 2 iPads and 3 iPhones. It works in iTunes, but in App Store, our daughter can't even see her own purchases. She gets the message "this iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iTunes account than ___________." If we turn iCloud off then she is able to see the purchases again. We've tried logging out, rebooting, logging in, etc. several times. Any ideas?

    Update...I now notice:
    Going to: App Store>Updates>Purchases:
    1)  The message “This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <her iCloud ID>...”  Is now showing up on my iPhone and can no longer see any of my purchases or hers. 
    2) The same message above is now showing on my iPad mini (it didn’t before).  But, I can still see both hers and my purchases on my iPad mini. 
    3) The message "This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <my iCloud ID>…” still showing on her iPhone and she still can’t see her or my purchases.
    iTunes Family Sharing still works fine.
    Note: If I Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store then log out of my Apple ID, then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases and log into my Apple ID from there, My purchases show up (not hers). I then toggle between Updates and Purchases and the message pops up and unable to see any purchases, again.  Same thing happens when I do it to her phone except her purchases show up (not mine).
    I emailed this update to Apple...waiting for a reply.

  • Can't play a purchased TV show
