I can't download a TV show I bought

iTunes keeps saying Try again later. Well, its a lot latyer and it still won't download. Now what?
P.S. A year ago, iTunes just worked. Lately it has been nothing but crash, hassle, not playing, etc. Really fed up.

Hello PWalters58,
It sounds like you are trying to download a video you purchased a while ago but are met with a message asking you to try again later. I recommend verifying that it is still available in the iTunes Store by checking to see if it still has a product page in the iTunes Store itself. If so, I would try the Windows troubleshooting in the following article:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

There is a more advanced article with troubleshooting here if you need it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Whether you can re-download them for free depends upon what country that you are in - tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries. If they show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes app on your other devices, or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes then you can re-download them. Otherwise you can copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them to your other devices.

How can I download Camera Raw? I bought CS2 a long time ago and it was upgraded to CS5 but I do not have Camera Raw plug in. Thank you

Which camera make and model are your Raw files from?
Camera Raw ships with Photoshop and is constantly upgraded by Adobe to keep up with new cameras as they are released to market.
It's likely that your camera requires a version of Camera Raw which is not compatible with your CS5. Or you may simply need to upgrade Camera Raw via Help > Updates in Photoshop.

How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

How can I download Photoshop CS5 which I bought for a Windows PC onto my Mac as the second computer?

It's not possible. Serial numbers are platform specific. Even if you install the CS5 trail version, it won't activate with your PC serial. Your only option is to upgrade to Creative Cloud.

I can't download purchased tv shows in itunes

I have purchased tv shows that are in icloud. On my iMac when in iTunes the cloud is greyed out. I can't download it. In iTunes I see the same thing, its there and available for download but i can't do anything with it. I've signed out and back in. What else to try?

Restart the iPad. Hold down sleep and home buttons until Apple logo appears and try to open Videos App again.

Can't download purchased tv shows to original iPad

Cant download purchased tv shows to original iPad. Sitting in download queue but won't download.

I had my iTunes set to manually update instead of automatically update. I decided to try changing it to set it to automatically sync. Nothing amazing happened then, but the next time that I plugged my iPod into my computer, it started syncing, then a box came up that said "a new version of iPod software 1.2.2 (or something like that)". I said YES, download and install! And VOILA! It works! Huzzah! Tell all your friends!
The bad thing of course is that by automatically updating, I lost some of my songs from my old hard drive, but it was worth it.
Good luck.

Can't sync a TV show I bought on ITunes on my IPOD

HI! I purchased and downloaded a tv show episode on ITunes and have tried to sync it onto my IPod classic. there is enough room on the Ipod, my software on both the computer and Ipod are upto date and I have tried letting the computer just sync it as it goes and then tried syncing it manually but it just keeps ignoring it like it's not there even though I can see it on my library on the computer. It just never shows up on the ipod. The other episodes of this tv show it syncs fine. Any suggestion? Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Rosie

I don't think it is an HD problem. According to the manual:
"Note: If you purchase HD video on iPod touch, the video is downloaded to iPod touch in SD format."
I purchased 3 TV shows. They downloaded and show up in iTunes. I select them, along with the TV Movie Playlist below them, and click on sync. It will go through the sync motions without error but they do not get transferred to the iTouch. The shows are about 650MB and the device has over 6GB free.
On the iTouch device in iTunes I have set everything to sync automatically. I tried the manual mode but it acted the same so I changed it back to auto.
Music syncs perfectly.
Do I need to be logged into the store when I sync to the iTouch?

I can't download purchased TV shows to my iPad

Hi,
Hope someone can help, this is driving me up the wall...
I purchased a TV series in iTunes on my iMac. I'm going away and want to transfer this show to my iPad. I first tried syncing it from the mac to the iPad but its in a different format (m4v not mp4) so I'm guessing thats why it didn't work.,
If I got the the itunes store on the iPad I can see the show under 'purchased', the cloud icon is next to it but is greyed out, I tap it and nothing happens. I've checked that there are no age restrictions set on the iPad, they are all disabled. How the **** can I get this on the iPad? Strangely I can download it on my iPhone using the same method, but I don't want it on there.
Why they make it so god **** fiddly to do such a simple thing is beyond me.
Furthermore, I added a few movies that I converted to mp4 myself, that all went ok, then I realised I'd forgotten one so added that to itunes, selected it and transferred that over. All the other movies then vanished and were replace by the new one?? What the **** is going on? I check in the summary tab 'manually manage music and videos', hit apply, sync them over, when I go back to the summary the box is now unchecked again?
I've had Apple stuff for years but when you end up spending hours of your life trying to solve ridiculous problems that shouldn't happen in the first place I'm seriously thinking of jumping ship.
Thanks

There is a 50 meg download limit per file over 3G/4G, so if they are larger than that then you will need to find a wifi network - the limit can only be raised by Apple with the agreement of the phone companies.

I can't download purchased TV shows now that I moved iTunes to iCloud

When I attempt to download new shows I immediately get a grayed-out listing of the show in iTunes TV shows. I now have over 10 grayed-out copies of the same show which I can't even delete.

Restart the iPad. Hold down sleep and home buttons until Apple logo appears and try to open Videos App again.

HT3209 Can I download a TV show to my computer and use my router to get to my Samsung TV or Integra AV receiver or a Roku to watch?

I want to be able to watch "Breaking Bad" Season 5 on iTunes since Dish Network dropped AMC. I don't want to watch it on my computer when I have a 64" plasma with computer sharing capability (same as my Integra receiver has). Can I pull up my computer from my plasma and open my iTunes downloads and watch on my plasma?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, you can't use the methods you have suggested. Apple has an Apple TV that will do that though.

I loaned my iPad to a friend. Now it's associated with his ID and it says I can't download my saved shows for 61 days. Is there anyway to reset it to me or do I just have to wait

My iPad says it's associated with another acct and it can't be changed for 61 days. Can I do anything about this or am I outta luck

Once the iPad is associated with an Apple ID, you cannot associate that iPad with another Apple ID for 90 days.
You have to wait it out.

How can i download a book that i bought on itunes and put it in my ibooks so that i can read it on my itouch?

I recently got my brother's old iTouch iPod for x-mas. In addition to the music i've put on it i thought it might be cool to read books on it so i bought a book ("Tweak" by Nic Sheff) and tried to put it on my iTouch/pod by dragging and dropping it in the section. It told me that i could not do that because i needed to first download the app iBooks. So i proceeded to download the app and put that on my iTouch/Pod and that was all well and succesful, but then i tried again to drag and drop the book. It shows the book as being on my iTouch/Pod when it is plugged into my computer, like it says on my computer's iTunes that the book is on the iTouch/Pod, but when i look for it on my iTouch/Pod i cannot find it in my iBooks app, nor can i find it inany other section or any other part. I'm thoroughly confused. Does anyone understand what i'm trying to ask/Have i explained my problem well enough? Please, pleaseeee can someone help a sister out? Your help would be so greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
A not-so-savvy individual named elizabeth
p.s. i am not entirely sure about the operating system i have selected, i took a guess at that. it says iTunes 10 on my iTunes. not sure about the iPod/Touch, can not find anything on there.

Welcome to the Apple Community Elizabeth.
You should be able to access any book you have purchased from iTunes anywhere.
Do you have settings > iBooks > Show all purchases turned on.

HT1918 I have updated my email address. Now I can't download the apps I have bought with the previous (no longer in use) email. What is going on?

I have updated my email address.
The system does not link my previous account (previous email) to my edited email. Therefore I am not able to update apps and have no acces to the apps I have bought in the past.
Can someone please explain how do I access the apps I have already bought?

I started the process in iTunes.
Apple give us the option to edit our email.
As I am no longer using "old email" I have decided to edit and update my information with "new email" (APPLE ID > Edit).
Affter I did it the system simply does not recognize all purchases I have made with "old email".
Apple response:
Luiz I noticed that your account "new email" was formerly named "old email".
If your computer is not currently authorized to play this account's purchases, when you double-click an item you purchased before you renamed the account, the authorization dialog may show the old account name. If this happens, you will need to remove the old account name "old email" from the account name field, type the new account name "new email", and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer to play the account's purchases.
Luiz: "I just cannot see any of the old purchased items". My computer is authorized.
