HT4743 Why can't I view purchased TV shows on my iPad?

I purchased two seasons of one TV show using iTunes on my iPad, but the two seasons only appear on my Apple TV. I like watching on my 60" plasma HD TV, but it's a bear to carry with me, so I would love to watch on my Macbook Pro. Trouble is, the two seasons aren't available.

I had same problem with brand new ipad whose OS I updated immediately upon purchase. Apple support gave me this fix (accidentally, in the manner of kicking the bushes to see if a bunny rabbit runs out)
instead of going to "purchased" go to TV shows in the store as if you were going to buy a new one
select the show or shows you have already bought
this presents you a list of shows available for download, which you can select.
Download begins, presto.
his explanation was they've been doing a lot of updates lately and they shut certain functions down while that is happening.

    Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • 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.

  • Why can't I view purchased content, but other videos work.

    I have an Apple TV 2 and I've got a bunch of TV Shows, Music and Movies all downloaded onto my mac. Whenever I try to play content on my Apple TV 2 that I have bought from the store, it won't play, saying I don't have permission, etc. I can play it all just fine on my macbook, and everything else that isn't downloaded from the iTunes store works just fine.
    I'm not able to connect to the internet, so I think that's the problem, but should it be? Do I have to always be online to watch content on my Apple TV? That seems very unnecessary, also makes me less inclined to buy things from the store.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Yes I think you may need to be conected to the internet to verify your content from time to time. the other thing you might try is de/re authorising your iTunes account on the mac.

  • Why can't I view saved mail in hotmail on ipad 2

    Hopefully someone can help as I'm getting a tad frustrated I have been for the last 2.5hrs trying to get a rental movie I have downloaded on to my computer to sync with my Ipad2 and its simply wont do it what could be wrong?
    I have so far
    restarted both computer and rebooted ipad.
    both softwares are up to date on ipad and on PC
    I have checked the restrictions and there doesnt appear to be any that I can see in the menu although saying that the movie selection can not even be highlighted in that menu.
    I have checked in the about and although itunes syncs the movie and it shows up in the bar below as the movie taking up space..in the about in the general part of settings it refreshed but still states 0 so itunes on the PC says its on the ipad but the ipad is saying it is not on the ipad....
    I'm going away on holiday next week and I was hoping to take a few rentals with me....I downloaded this one to test it out and see how well it worked so far its been frustraingly useless....im glad I never downloaded 30bux worth of movies.
    I have been searching and searching the net...I have come across one other person that appears to be having the same drama as me. however he is on here on apple support but no body has replied to him and he posted 3 months ago...so I hope someone can help me

    Is there anyone out there that might know whats wrong!!!!
    Surely someone must be able to help

  • Why can't I view VAForm 10-10ez on my iPad, even with the current version of Adobe Acrobat?

    I am trying to sign up for Veterans MediCal benefits on my iPad. When I go to the content page, I get a message that states that I need a newer version of Adobe Acorbat. I have updated it twice and still cannot see the VA Form 10-10ez. Is there a trick that I am missing here? 

    That form was created with LiveCycle Designer, so it's an XFA form. XFA forms are generally not supported by PDF viewers on mobile devices. Some will support static XFA forms, but I don't know any that support dynamic XFAs. Readdle's PDF Expert has some support for static XFAs like the form you're trying to use, but it's not free like Adobe Reader. The support is not complete, so some things may not work as intended.
    If you have access to a Windows or Mac (OSX) machine, the form will work with Adobe Reader.

  • Why can't I view videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?

    Why can't I view music videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?  I was able to with my first generation Ipod Touch. 
    I hate viewing a small version of the video.  If there aren't any fixes to the issue, there is no point in purchasing music videos.  Clicking the screenlock icon doesn't work.  It just allows you to view the small video in any mode instead of seeing album covers.

    Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

  • Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

         Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
    When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
    LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
    LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's 
    LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
    but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
                            THANK YOU!

    If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
    Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
    And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
    Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Who is the mail provider, what is the mail client, which version of Windows is this.

  • Why can't I view some videos on Internet sites?

    Why can't I view some videos on Some Internet sites?

    The iPad does not have Flash. Adobe does not make Flash for the iOS.So you either need a specific app, such as the YouTube app to view Flash video on the YouTube site, or you can get one of the very experimental Flash browsers for the iPad from the iTunes App Store.

    Why can't i view my photos/videos on icloud?

    iCloud services merely "push" your Phto Stream files to enabled devices.
    You can't view your photos at iCloud.com.

  • Why can't we view Java on the iphone?

    Why can't we view java. I understand that Steve Jobs said in 2010 that it was a dying technology however lots and lots of sites still use it and I am tired of needing my laptop every time I want to use one of those sites. This includes large companies such as BBC, Lottery etc. can I download another browser and it will work, eg if I don't use Safari?

    Why can't we view java.
    Because the iPhone does not have support for Java.
    lots and lots of sites still use it
    Really? I haven't come across one in years. I don't even have it installed on my computers.
    This includes large companies such as BBC, Lottery etc.
    I use both of those sites, and have never come across the need for Java. Are you sure you are talking about Java?
    Provide some links to pages you are unable to view.
    can I download another browser and it will work, eg if I don't use Safari?
    You can download another browser if you want. You'll have to read the AppStore descriptions for browsers that claim to support Java and then try them out.
