I can download movies but no tv shows, why?

Why can i download movies but not one tv show???

Very vague.
Does the itunes store in your country even sell tv shows?
Are you simply unable to buy them? What happens when you try?
Perhaps if you were to expalin what you are talking anout, then someone could help.

I often download tv shows on apple tv. All of a sudden I don't have the option to download tv shows but can download movies. Internet connection is good. I simply don't have the search or download options for tv. What is happening?

and the Internet connection is good. It just no longer shows options for tv shows except for my tv shoes (already downloaded). what is going on?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check your store location is set correctly, if this doesn't help, try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

Why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)?

I am using iTunes 11.0 and can sync a movie (Miracle on 34th Street) to my new ipod nano 7th gen but when I try a TV Show (a Planet Earth HD episode) or even a brief video clip taken with my camara I am told that such an action is not permitted on this ipod. So why can I sync a movie but not TV shows on my nano (7th gen)? Thank you.

Before you can sync video files, it must be converted into a format compatible with ipod. If you can’t sync a video convert it by doing the following:
In iTunes, select the video you want to convert. Do one of the following then sync again after:
1) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
2) Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
I hope this works.

Latest ep of my podcast doesn't show in iTunes. Subscribers CAN download it. Podcast page shows 'Total: 3 items' but lists only items 2 and 3. RSS feed is validated and fine.

Latest ep of my podcast doesn't show in iTunes store. Subscribers CAN download it. Podcast page shows 'Total: 3 items' but lists only items 2 and 3. RSS feed is validated and fine. How do I get iTunes to display it?

I've used Feedburner many times and never had such a problem. I am a bit confused, forgive me if I ask for questions already answerd. Have you tried updating the podcast in someone elses copy of iTunes? My guess is that the file is bad since it is working in other programs but not iTunes. I would try making a new .mp4 file and podcasting it and seeing if that works.
Good luck!

I can download ok but when I try to Play movie I get error -42110, can anyone explain why and how to resolve? I have restarted my machine and all installations are up to date

From iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - Apple Support :
"Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103"

Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

HT3819 I have movies but no TV shows on my shared iTunes

I can see movies from all passwords used for my iTunes. My family members share one computer. The Share is my user ID. I can watch my movies but no TV shows apear on my iPad. Since I only have this set up to watch a specific TV show it is been kind of frusterating.
iTunes won't let me edit the metadata so I have been downloading the episodes from the cloud and deleting them. Silly since I can watch them on my computer in the other room that is connected by wifi. Perhaps Apple likes sending out extra data?

That means it is not fully downloaded so you are streaming it. Fully download it.

Can download app BUT cannot update app on my 5s

Check out your downloads and applications folders. Sometimes they get hidden.

HT1660 iTunes library files full and cannot download movie but plenty of open disc space?

iTunes library files full and cannot download movie but plenty of open disc space?

To clarify, currently on the 2TB external drive are music and videos. I want to split them up and hopefully save some space - and maybe foresee problems in the future when I hit max capacity on the 1TB external, and think about a 4GB (not the best option I see at this time) or another 2 2TB drives.
Doesn't the Library file just save locations when iTunes closes down so everything should be OK? I mean, the prog can recognize everything, it just won't download to anything, even if I move from the external drive an older movie to the new drive, it refuses to "see" the movie so I can download it.

HT2589 I already have 2 devices on one apple ID account and want to add apple TV. How do I add another device on an existing apple ID account so that I can download movies from the cloud to any of 3 devices?

how do I add another device on to my apple ID account so that I can download movies etc.. from my icloud to any of the 3 devices on the account? I already have my iphone and ipad on the account and for some reason my 3rd device (apple TV) dropped off. If you can help, greatly appreciated!!

Hello there, HannaGriffin.
Since the Apple TV (1st Generation) is the only one that has storage, I would recommend the following Knowledge Base articles for troubleshooting issues with authorization:
Apple TV (1st generation) may not play content purchased from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1359
or
Apple TV (1st generation): Apple TV repeatedly asks for password to play iTunes Store rentals or purchases

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I am unable to successfully install itunes 10.5. I can download it, but when I go to install the program it says that a program could not be run and it won't give the name of the program. I have the vista 64-bit system.

That would be my first guess. You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform.

Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download and install has completed.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work. This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook. It doesn't happen when I use a different computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here.

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
