I cannot get a TV show from Itunes to play on my Ipad. I originally downloaded in HD but have since deleted and re-downloaded SD. I have also downloaded directly to PC and transferred back to IPad without success. It does work on PC

I recently purchased season 7 of entourage from Itunes and downloaded directly to IPad2. When I selected to play the tv shows the screen would go black and become disabled. I have to hit the home page to exit and then search for another movie in my ipad to get access to the library again. I have tried downloading directly to PC and then transferring to IPad without success. I don't think it is the download itself because I can play the tv shows on the pc and my iphone. Am I missing a setting? also, I can watch other tv shows or movies so my video app is not completely fouled up.

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Hi Watunka2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to move your iTunes library from your PC to your external drive? Or, are you just copying your music files to your external drive as a backup? The following articles will explain how:

Can't get purchased tv shows from itunes to my ipod.

I have bought tv shows through itunes store. When I sync my ipod they do not transfer. I have a 80 gb classic ipod.

Not understanding, when i go to my tv shows tab, it brings up the ones that i have purchased, not sure where i go to change the sync settings... thanks!
Connect your iPod to iTunes. The display should change to show the Summary tab for the iPod. On the TV Shows tab there is a section that reads Sync all/X most recent/all unwatched/ etc... episodes of all/selected TV Shows/playlists. Make your choices here...

HT1143 i can't get my rented movie from itunes to play on my t.v through Apple t.v.

Why won't the movie that I rented from itunes play on my t.v.?

Try this. Swipe to the right from your home screen to bring up the search feature. Type in the name of one of the movies. If the move appears in the search - tap it to begin playing. Let it play for a few minutes. Then hit done. Go to the videos app and see if the movies are there now.
You can also look in the iPod app and see if the movies show up there. If so, tap on the movie to play.

I downloaded tv shows from iTunes onto my iPad, but when I plugged into my computer it erased them from the iPad and they didn't get transferred to the computer. How do I get them back?

First, is your iTunes account on your computer, the account you set up your iPad with and the one you sync regularly with? If yes, just reconnect your iPad to your computer, via USB and open iTunes. After your iPad syncs, and you see the message that it's OK to disconnect, don't disconnect. Click once on the iPad from the left side of your iTunes screen. This will open your iPad in iTunes. You would then click on Videos and you'll see the TV shows you downloaded. You can choose individual shows, or choose to sync all videos to your iPad. After you've moved what you wanted back, click apply, then sync again and you should be fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

I purchased tv shows from iTunes and keep getting a download error tap to retry. Why don't the shows download? What can I do?

Hello there Julfos,
I recommend this part of the article named iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1725.
If you cannot complete the download on your device, you can finish the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync it to your device. For instructions, see the following articles:
iTunes Store: Where can I download and sync my purchases?
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Additional Information
If your purchase does not resume downloading after following the steps in this article, you can also try the following steps to troubleshoot the download issue.
Restart your computer or device.
Check for updates for your Mac or PC and install any software updates. Also, check for and install updates for any security software you may have (anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall, and so on).
If using Wi-Fi for Internet access, try using a different Wi-Fi network when downloading. If you are connecting to a home network, try restarting your Wi-Fi router. Also, check for and install any firmware updates for your Wi-Fi router. (Refer the manufacturer's website for your router to get information on updating its firmware).
If that does not resolve the issue then I recommend quitting all the apps running with this article, and trying again.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Perhaps even forgetting your home network and rejoining it.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Or resetting your network settings.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

Hey Hey!
Running OSX 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3
I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!
How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my iTunes Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive? I want to show the Cloud Purchases without having hundreds of GBs taking up my HD space.
Thanks!

Deborah,
You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes. The syncing process is only one way. However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder. From there you can copy them back over to your PC.
Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

WHEN YOU PURCHASE RV SHOWS FROM ITUNES ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT IT ON A DVD AND WATCH ON A REAL TV?

When you purchase a TV show from itunes are you able to put it on a DVD to watch on a real TV?

Sorry, but no, you can't. The content owners won't allow Apple to allow that feature. You can back up your videos, but you cannot convert them to any other format. If you want play video/movie content purchased from the iTunes Store on your TV, you'll need to connect your computer to your TV or use an iOS device or iPod (one with video out) or an Apple TV.
Regards.

Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes to show on my Apple TV3?

Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes on my Imac to my Apple tv3? I only got the option for music and photo`s. I want internet radio to show too

Internet radio is not part of your iTunes library. There is a separate section on the ATV for radio if you wish to use or you can use airplay via iTunes.

I cannot get a TV show from Itunes to play on my Ipad. I originally downloaded in HD but have since deleted and re-downloaded SD. I have also downloaded directly to PC and transferred back to IPad without success. It does work on PC
