I purchased some TV shows on my Apple TV, but I cannot play them or download them on iTunes

I recently purchased for TV shows via AppleTV but as soon as I purchased I was unable to play them nor download them through the iTunes.  When I go to my account I see the purchases on my receipt but no option to download where can I download or what may be issue?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried the 'Purchased' option in the top right corner of the Store window in iTunes

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I'm having trouble with custom ringtones.  I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones.  I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes.  My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab.  I can not sync the ringtones.

    I'm having trouble with custom ringtones.  I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones.  I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes.  My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab.  I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)!  Please help.

    Yes, the file extension is M4R.  Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook?  I then opened them in Itunes and played them.  I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes).  When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • ITunes shows mp3 Files in library but does not play them?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with my library. I have a number of tracks in my iTunes folder which show up in my library, however when I click on them, nothing at all happens. The Diamond does not move and the track does not play.
    This is odd, as other tracks on the album, and which are included in the album folder do play, but iTunes has decided it won't play some of the tracks.
    Interestingly, the tracks it does play all show up with the album artwork if I view the folder, however the ones it does not play only show up with the MP3 file icon. And just to throw another twist in, I can play the files which iTunes wont play, in cover flow...
    So how do I gt iTunes to play all the songs again? Will rebuilding my library work?
    And finally, iTunes has categorised a load of album files in an "unknown" folder, despite these files having full artist, album, genre etc information in their tag. Can I get iTunes to put these into the correct albums somehow?
    Many thanks!

    As for the files not playing, you might want to check their permissions. Select the mp3 files in your finder, go to File>Get Info, look under Sharing & Permissions, and make sure you have Read & Write
    privileges.

  • I Bought Songs on Apple TV - But Can't Find them in iTunes on my iMac?

    I love the new iTunes radio. We've already bought several songs on it using the Apple TV. I've just noticed that those songs aren't visible in iTunes running on my iMac. How can I correct this?
    My Apple TV is on, and in it under Computers I can see my iMac - but I don't see my Apple TV under Devices in iTunes on my iMac.
    My iMac is running OS X 10.8.5.
    Thanks in advance to all for any ino.

    You may wish to enable automatic downloads in your iTunes  > preferences > store settings.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • My music shows up in my library but wunes cannot play it cause it could not find the original file

    My music shows up in my library but when I click on it an exclamation mark comes up and says it cannot locate the file!  Please help

    Either you or an application on your computer moved the location of the actual files.
    Put the files back where they originally were.

  • HT1296 I have tried to transfer some songs to my ipod. I can see them in light Grey. But i cannot play  them when i click on them

    I have tried to transfer music to my ipod. I can see the song in light Grey letters. When i click on them they won't play. What do i need to do to be able to play these songs?

    The songs do play OK in iTunes, right?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resyc
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Notes are synced to Apple Mail but I cannot open them in Mail

    This isn't good.
    I use the notes App on the iPhone pretty often.
    Syncing (or synchronizing) via iTunes doesn't really work well.
    A) It asked me everytime if the changes made by the sync are oaky.
    Had to set "Show Data Alert when " to "more than 50%" in iSync.
    It's weird to have to fiddle with iSync anyways. I have an iPhone. These settings should be in iTunes.
    B) The Notes in Mail aren't viewable. When I select one I get "Loading..." in the view pane. Nothing happens. It just kinda hangs there. Sometimes Mail also locks up during that.
    Even more weirdness: I select one note and then double-click it. Result: Note disappears!
    When I then sync with the iPhone via iTunes, the equivalent note on the iPhone is erased.
    Great!
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    Cheers – Philipp

    I have exactly the same problem and am searching for an answer too. So far no luck. I have tried unsyncing my MobileMe account, manually syncing etc but no joy so far.
    Any help would be much appreciated as this renders notes useless and is extremely frustrating.

    So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help.  Ended up logging out of my apple ID account.  Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly.  I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense.  I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in.  Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some.  Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
    It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

    There is no storage in the Apple TV so you need to load content each time you view. However it only needs to load a small portion before it starts. If you do want to store it you can access your purchase in iTunes and stream via home-sharing.

    I just had this problem as well and spent quite a bit of time reviewing all of the suggestions/ideas/comments, and since I am not that tech-savy I remembered this "suggestion" from the UK show The "IT  Crowd" which was "Have you tried turning it off and on again??" (both devices)
