Like Apps, can I re-download purchased TV shows without paying again?

I love getting TV shows on iTunes, and I want to continue to do so. However, the file sizes get unwieldy at a certain point, especially when HD can reach upwards of 2+ GB. I would love to save some space by deleting them for my hard drive for the time being, and if I felt like watching them again, I could re-download them.
So like the subject line asks... Can I re-download TV shows I've purchased without having to pay again? App's work that way, where if I click Download on an App I've purchased, it will recognize that I bought it, and won't charge me a second time.

no you can't. Apple's policy is clear about this, you pay for a single download of any music/video as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1469
make sense considering the bandwidth require at Apple Store to allow multiple purchase of all content.
so, it is the buyer responsability to backpup its purchase. I would suggest you to buy an external drive to backup your TV shows.

  • Computer Crashed... can I RE-DOWNLOAD purchased TV shows?

    Ok, so I'm kinda new to iTunes.
    I have an iPod with some of Grey's Anatomy (TV SHOW) on it, and I had downloaded the rest of it to put on the iPod. However the computer crashed and I lost everything. Now that I am back up and running, can I re-download the files I did not get to view/copy to the iPod yet?
    I only see the files I did not download yet showing up in iTunes. I purchased them in a season pass. Do I have to pay for them again...
    Please help.

    The policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

  • If I buy and install Mountain Lion with my Apple ID, can I log into the App Store on my other Mac and install without paying again?

    I want to buy it and install it on all of my Macs but I wanted to see if this was possible by only paying once.

    Yes.  Buy it and sign on with your other Macs using the same AppleID.  It will be available in the Purchases tab.
    You can also make a copy of it after the first download and move it to your other machines to avoid another 4 gig download.   Make sure to do this before installing as the installer will delete the download from the applications folder.

  • HT201322 itunes 11.0.3 - in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer. also In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies

    I'm running itunes 11.0.3 -
    in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
    In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
    I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content.  I no longer can.

    There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
    Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine.

    If what you previously bought is an iOS application, ensure that you’re signed into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID you used to buy it, or sync the device with an iTunes library which contains it.
    If what you previously bought is a Mac OS X application, you can’t. The developer needs to create the two versions separately and may choose to charge for both.

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I downloaded a song that I purchased from the ITunes store, but the song does not play properly.  How can I re-download the same song without having to purchase it a second time?

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • HT4859 If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?

    Manage Storage.
    1.  What am I deleting specifically when this message appears "Are you sure you want to turn off CNN backups and delete the backup data from the cloud?
    2.  If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud does this mean the app can not be downloaded to a new device?
    3.  If I have the app turned off for storage in iCloud and I delete the app off my phone can I download the app again or do I have to repurchase the app?

    Every app that you buy or get for free in appstore/itunes belongs to you and can be downloaded on up to 10 devices or saved on up to 5 computers. Instructions to download apps to new devices here

    Here comes a "BUT" - imagine your kid playing game and getting to level 51 and have to start over from level one. Or imagine that history that you have in your CNN app. That is what icloud backup contains. My 500 scifi books are in one of the app backups and I REALLY do not want to lose it. That is what you would turn off.

  • I have an ipad2. PLEASE can anyone tell me if I can watch a movie purchased from iTunes without wifi (after I have downloaded the movie and hit play while connected). My husband is going for chemotherapy and the hospital does not have wifi.

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • 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.

    If i have purchased garageband for Ipad... can i download the IOS version on my iphone 4 without paying again?
    Or do i have to pay again?
    thanks,

    If you've previously paid for the iOS version, you can. If you've previously paid for the Mac version but not the iOS version, you can't.

  • If I remove an album I purchased can I download it again without paying again?

    If I remove an album I purchased can I download it again without paying again?

    It depends on what country that you are in, and whether it remains in the store - what you can re-download where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You should be able to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases so that you can make a backup of it.

    Hello, cbyoo.
    Great question and yes you can.  Most items that are purchased from the App and iTunes store can be redownload at no additional charge.  Below I have provided the instructions on how to process this.

  • I accidently deleted an albumn I downloaded. Can I get it back without paying again?

    I accidently delted an albumn I downloaded.
    Can I get it back without paying again?

    I went to itunes (store)-purchased-music-and found the album.
    However, instead of the option for "download" those the areas are labeled "downloaded".
    If I click on "downloaded", nothing happens.
    Hmm, any other ideas?
