ITunes Season Passes automatic downloads no longer supported

I have been informed by Apple Customer Care (case: 267781180) that automatic downloads (including using the 'check for available downloads' menu option) are no longer supported for season passes on the iTunes store.  This means you have to manually go to the store and select 'download' for any new episodes of TV shows that you have purchased.  We'll still receive the email alert that a new episode is available but we'll have to manually download them.  I subscribe to a lot of TV content from the Apple store so this will be a large inconvenience (for example if I am away from home then no new shows will be downloaded for the rest of the family to watch).  This is huge backward step.  Why?

Help! Nobody? Please help I left and came back and no replies? HELP

  • ITunes Season Pass - trouble downloading episode?

    I received an email notification that a new episode is ready for my Season Pass. I can usually download the episode no problem, by clicking on the link in the email. But this one keeps saying "Unable to process your request. Try again later". I have been trying for 2 days, and still no luck. My internet connection is perfect. Anyone had this happen to them?

    I have the same issue. Its frustrating that to download an episode, I need to jump through hoops, (1) Look up which episode os the latest (2) Go to the store home and find the episode by name. It used to dowload with one click straight from the e-mail.
    I called Apple support, only to speak to a moron who didn't understand the problem at all.
    This is by no means the first time that Apple made features stop working with no warning.
    I've been using iTunes as my primary entertainment resource, typically purchasing a season pass for all the shows I follow. maybe its time to give Amazon a try.

  • HT4539 iTunes Seasons Passes for TV episodes do not download automatically (per Apple Support).  Anyone have a workaround?  Automator?

    When researching a problem such that my Seasons Passes new episodes did not appear as new downloadable content ("You have downloaded all the content for this Apple ID"), Apple Support tells me that Seasons Pass content are no longer considered applicable to "check for available downloads".
    Has anyone created a workaround?

    Actually, they are put in your downloads. But this is only for new passes going forward. And you have to chose the (Download All) options as well during your purchase.
    For current passes before this change, you can do your work-around here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TS1424 season pass stopped downloading, how to restart?

    My season pass stopped downloaded after three episodes. iTunes store recognizes I'm a season pass holder, recognizes that I have only downloaded 1-2, recognizes that episode 4 is available ... won't download. Any suggestions?

    You have already purchased it, so don't worry about having to pay for it again. In the Mac App Store, go to the purcahses tab, select the Mountain Lion download, and either click the "X" or hit the delete button on your keyboard to remove it. Then, go back to the page that you originally bought Mountain Lion from, and download it again.

  • How do i download itunes to a secondary drive on my computer?  My C drive is full and that's where itunes wants to automatically download

    How can I download Itunes to a secondary drive on my computer?  My C drive is full but that's where ITunes wants to automatically download.  I can't figure out how to download it to a K drive.

    You do not.
    iTunes like all programs is installed and only runs on the main drive (C) of the computer.
    You can move the media to another drive.
    Close iTunes.
    Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the default location to the desired location.
    While holding the SHIFT key, launch iTunes.
    When prompted to create a new library or locate existing, choose the option to locate existing.
    Point iTunes to the new location.
    Then go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and change the location of the iTunes library there.

  • Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

    s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message: 
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

    I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
    Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
    If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
    My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

  • Where is the Album Artwork saved that iTunes doesn't automatically download

    I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and I love it's ability to show the album/CD art. Some of my CD's art was available on the iTunes store which the program downloaded automatically but the majority of it I had to find manually online. (Just FYI, Amazon Album Art is a fabulous widget to help with this, <www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm>) Hours and hours later (large MP3 collection) I'm done. Now, as I have the same music library library on my office computer I want to have the art there as well. I copied the Album Artwork folder from my Home>Music>iTunes folder onto the office computer and launched iTunes but the only artwork visible was the artwork that the iTunes program had automatically downloaded. Where is the artwork that I painstakingly copied/pasted into the iTunes at home? Is it kept somewhere other than the Album Artwork folder?
    G4 1.25 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Artwork that you manually add in the manner you describe is embedded inside the music files themselves (i.e. inside the mp3 files are you using).
    Therefore if you use those same mp3 files on another computer the artwork will instantly be available.
    Power iTunes users [including myself] prefer this approach [embedding artwork] for exactly this reason. I have therefore taken any artwork iTunes 7 downloaded itself and forced it to embed it in to my music.
    I also have a suspicion that simply copying the [downloaded] artwork folder to another computer would probably not work since it appears it is using reference numbers in the file names which would be different on a different computer.

  • Season Passes wont download avaliable episodes to Ipad.

    Hi, I have just purchased the ipad mini wifi.  I have purchased many season passes, however when there is a new episode ready to be downloaded, It will not automatically download to the ipad when I am on the ipad and logged into iTunes – it used to do this on my old ipad – I simply used to sign in and any available episodes would download.  Now it doesn't do this on the new ipad mini.  Please help!

    Sorry, I'm not answering your question just having the same trouble with my Mad Men and Rubicon season passes. I didn't get my confirmation emails this morning either. I tried to buy the individual Mad Men episode because I lack all patience, and it won't even let me do that. It says I have purchased the episode in a season pass but the content has not yet been made available to me. What the **** apple? Why if it's available for individual download is it not up for the season pass? Have you had any luck getting your episodes to come through? Anyone else out there have anything to add?

  • Accidentally associated my iphone to the wrong itunes account for automatic downloads. What do I do?

    Pretty much explained it in the title. I signed into my dad's iTunes account today to download a quick app that he had already purchased when I accidentally forgot to sign out of his account. Later on, I receive a notification on my iPhone that my iPhone is associated to a different Apple I.D. and that I can transfer over to the account for the automatic downloads feature. I didn't think this through and decided to transfer over, not knowing what I was doing. It said that I have to wait 90 days before I can transfer back over to my own Apple I.D. can someone from Apple please help me!!!

    No one from Apple can help you here.  This is a user forum.  We are all itunes users like you.

    Are you asking how to download iTunes to your computer, or are you asking if iTunes should open automatically when you plug your iPad to your computer?
    If it is the later, it will open automatically, if you have checked that in iTunes settings.  This link will tell you how to set it up in iTunes:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3927

  • ITunes 10.3 Automatic download

    I installed iTunes 10.3 onto my MBP. I opened up iTunes on my MBP and bought a song. I expected the song to download to my iPhone automatically. It's not there yet. I opened up iTunes on my iPhone, clicked on Purchases, and there was a list of Recently Purchased songs, and this song was listed as purchased but with an iCloud logo. I clicked on it and entered my iTunes password. This forced the download to my iPhone. So much for automatic downloads. Thoughts? Hmm.
    (Yes, I know iTunes 10.3 is a Beta.)

    Yeah but.. on the 10.3 iTunes page http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-new/  the disclaimer reads..
    "Automatic downloads and downloading of purchase history available in beta now and require iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2, or a Mac or PC with iTunes 10.3. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore. Music features are available only in the U.S. Download iTunes 10.3 free."

  • ITunes Seasons Pass Info (NFL) Not Appearing

    Hello. This may be the wrong forum but thought I'd give it a try. I've signed up for the NFL Team Season Pass. I've been able to download the first five of five week games. But the sixth week game is not available for download. Worse, when I go to the "TV SHOW" in iTunes the sixth week is missing.
    More interesting is that when I go to my team's opponent, the sixth week game 'who we played' is there. Hmmmm.
    Specifically, I've bought the season pass for the Steelers and I'm missing week six however if I look at the Chiefs week six is there. Though I could 'buy' week six from the Chiefs' area on iTunes I don't want to spend the money twice having already paid for the season pass on the 'Steelers side'.

    Appreciate your response, Aresenal.
    For the record, I've emailed
    * the NFL Network
    * the Steelers Fan Pass from steelers.com
    * Apple's product feedback for iTunes
    I've not heard back from anyone. Perhaps I should "bang the boards" on MSR (my sports radio) to Lance and let the steelers fan base also echo their concerns.

  • ICloud and iTunes, cannot get the check boxes to stay checked under  preferences for iTunes to keep automatic downloads for iCloud, how can I fix this?

    When using my iPhone and Macbook with iTunes, I cannot get the checkboxes to stay checked in iTunes to use the automatic downloads for iCloud.  It is so frustrating. I check box them and hit ok under store preferences for iTunes, and when I go back in, they are unchecked. I am so excited to use iCloud with my iPhone downloads and it is not working, if I can't get it to work with this, I am never going to get it to work for documents.  Please help.

    Hey man. Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare yesterday, and am going to have to call them back when I get home from work today. It's driving me bonkers!!

  • ITunes 10.3 Automatic downloads

    So I opened the iTunes store (10.3) on my Mac and went to Books (you can now download iBooks directly on the computer).
    On my iPad (iOS 4.3.3) I don''t have Automatic downloads enabled.
    When I got a book from iTunes, a message popped up on the iPad.
    Just thought that was pretty cool...

    I guess big brother is watching.
    What they really meant was, You downloaded a book with your computer.
    And the second sentence could have said, Tap Settings > Store to turn on auto...
    But it is pretty cool.
